?.)06 Approved For Release 2010/05/05: CIA-RDP63T00245R000100180018-2 July 26 Cornmis.dotier lvfeaci is part of the pat- tern of emasculating this Commission. Thiro. Lyons' appointment as Direc- tir of the Bureau of Mines. The hear- ings disclosed that he had a pension from a major mining company, and, in olditic.fl was orposed to the mine safety law When it became clear that his? confirmation would not be possible, the nomination was withdrawn. However, it took an active fight on the floor of the Senate to focus public attention on this very unfortunate appointment. PACKING TIIE FEDERAL POWER COMMISSION The pattern of undermining the ad- ministrative process and rigging quasi- judicial agencies is no more clear than in the case of the Federal Power Com- mission, In early 1953 the President appointed Jerome Kuykendall as a new member and Chairman of the FPC. Kuykendall was the public utility commissioner of Washington State, an appointee of Gov- ernor Langlie, an outpsoken foe of Hells Canyon Dam. After Kuykendall was confirmed, Seci retary of Interior McKay withdrew oP- posit:on to the Idaho Power Co small dam application and the Idaho Power Cc amended its application. Then the long-delayed hearings got underway. .'ubsequent appointments to FPC have completed the roster of antipublic power commissioners. %VD:KARL'S OUSTER, FAILURE TO REAPPOINT GORDON CLAPP The tampering with nonpartisan po- sitions included the forced withdrawal or Claude Wickard as Administrator of REA?a position which by statute is a nonpartisan one?before the end of his term The refusal to reappoint Gordon Clapp As Chairman of TVA was certainly within the President's prerogative. However, the subsequent attack upon TVA indi- cates that Clapp was considered too good and too tough to handle. His re- placement. General Vogel, whose con- firmation I opposed, has proved a willing colleague of the Budget Bureau in at- tempts to weaken TVA OTHER EXAMPI.F.S It would take too long to catalog every instance of Presidential appoint- immts that are inconsistent with impar- tial government. The attempts to turn the civil service into a Republican grab bag are part and parcel of this pattern. The invention of schedule C for so-called confidential employees has been used as a device to remove civil service protection from scores of positions. There have been fears that certain key positions under the Railroad Retirement Board would be so transferred. The pro- hibition against putting those positions under schedule C is the basis for some Republican opposition to the pending railroad retirement bill. PENDINCI PATTERSON NOMINATION I am among the members of the Banking and Currency Committee who oppose the confirmation of Patterson as an SEC Commissioner. Our principal ground of objection is that Patterson would complete the roster of Commissioners whose main contact with the regulated industry has been with the security exchanges. This Is another example of delivering an administrative agency to the regu- lated industry. The administration has slipped through many objectionable and ques- tionable appointments. As we review this sorry list the pattern of bad ap- pointments and interferences with the administrative process has become clear. The President has either misused or shirked his responsibility?either course amounts to irresponsibility. The day of easy confirmations of poor appointments has come to an end. Not only the Senate, but, more importantly, the people', are aroused and demand that Goverirtnent by, of and for big business be btight to an end. )tJPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS, '1956 The Senate resumed the considera- tion of the bill (H. R. 7278) making sup- plemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1956, and for other purposes. Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Secretary will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, the pending supplemental appropriation bill for 1956, as it pa.ssed the House, pro- vided for an appropriation of $224.276,- 628. The amount of the increase recom- mended by the Senate committee is $1,601,834.986. This increase is mislead- ing, since many items of appropriations including well over a billion dollars for military construction were deleted on the floor of the House on points of order. The authorizing legislation on military construction had passed both Houses of Congress and was awaiting the signature of the President which made the appro- priation subject to a point of order. Other authorizing bills were in various stages of the legislative process. The increase of the Senate committee bill over the bill as reported to the House Is $177,235,486. In this connection it should be pointed out that the Senate committee considered budget estimates in excess of the estimates considered by the House in the amount of $195,565,204. While this is labeled a supplemental bill, I think it would be well to point out that over $1,290,000,000 is regular appro- priations, rather than supplementaLs. Of this amount, $1,270,000,000 Is for mili- tary construction for which the authori- zation had not been passed when the Defense Department appropriation bill was before the committee. Of the re- maining $536 million in the bill, a por- tion of the funds requested is to carry out measures enacted during this ses- sion; in fact, about $100 million con- tained in the bill is contingent on final enactment of measures now pending be- .fore either the House or Senate. Mr. President, in view of the tact that In the House of Representatives so much of the bill was stricken on points or or- der. I ask unanimous consent that the committee amendments be agreed to en bloc: that the bill, as thus amended, be regarded for purposes of amendment as the original text; and that no point of order shall be considered to have been waived by agreement to this request. Mr. CURTIS. Mr. President, if all the committee amendments are agreed to en bloc, will it be in order for me to offer an amendment to a committee amendment? Mr. HAYDEN. Certainly. Mr. THYE. Mt. President, I wish to offer an amendment on page 3. Is this the proper time to do so? Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, I should like to have the committee amendments agreed to en bloc, and then have amend- ments offered from the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. PAYNE in the chain. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Ari- zona? The Chair hears none, and the committee amendments are agreed to en bloc.

This is a reduction from the budget estimates of $199,822,700 in appropriations and $118,073,000 in trans- fers or a total reduction of $317,695,700. It is over the House bill by $1,273,927,300 In appropriations and $741,427,000 in transfers. I shall now speak briefly of the in- dividual items. The Senate Committee recommends for the Central Intelligence Agency building an appropriation of $7 million. This includes $3 million for planning and $4 million for roads and purchase of site. The committee report treats of this mat- ter fully. For the Department of the Army the committee recommends $488,427,000 by transfer of $58,573,000 below the esti- mate. For the Navy the committee recommends $443,278,300, which is $85,- 271,700 below the estimate. For the Air Force, the committee recommends $823,- 649,000 in appropriations and $225 mil- lion? in transfers. This is an amount $121,351,000 below the estimate. I shall mention only one of hundreds of items in the chapter that might be mentioned. The committee recommended approval of an appropriation of $79,527,000 for the Air Force Academy. Except for specific items described in the committee report, the committee approved the authorized program as submitted by the executive branch. Cer- tain other reductions were made because the committee agreed with the House committee that the programs as author- ized and justified before the committees could not progress as rapidly as contem- plated. These latter reductions should in no way be construed to eliminate or retard the approved items in the pro- gram. I wish to thank all the members of the Department of Defense Subcommit- tee who attended the hearings and 6 ment offered by the Senator roni Arizona.. The amendment was agreed to The PRESIDING OFFICE.R. The bill Is open to further amendment. Mr. GREEN. Mr. President, I do not desire to offer an amendment, but I do desire to compliment the committee on the splendid work it has done in making Its report, and in particular I wish to commend It for the additional appro- priation made for the Weather Bureau, and especially, in that connection, the million and a half dollars of additional funds for research regarding tornado and hurricane predictions. I have been especially interested in this subject since the very disastrous hurricanes which occurred last year. It is encouraging to find that the United States is not only seeking to repair damage done by such storms but to conduct research into bet- ter means of forecasting, which will probably save more money in the end and will cost less at this time. The appropriation of $1,500,000 for research operations is in addition to the $7,500000 already appropriated in other items to repair the damage done. I wish to express my appreciation par- ticularly for the interest shown In the matter of this increase by the senior Senator from Florida [Mr. HOLLAND] and the senior Senator from Arizona [Mr. HAYDEN I. Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from Arizona yield? Mr. HAYDEN. I yield. Mr. HOLLAND.

I read as follows: The committee recommends 81,500,000, half the amount of the estimate, for addi- tional funds for research into methods of: bettering hurricane and tornado predictions, ,Fho amount recommended will be sufficient to cover the major part of the research opern eluded will provide the construction necessary to keep our country militarily strong.

Mr President, while I am on my feet, may I say that one large amount added to the bill for the Department of Com- merce relates to the Inter-American Highway. In order that the record may clearly show the thinking of the com- mittee on that matter, in which we are recommending the appropriation at once of the entire amount of our coun- try's contribution, which, added to the amount of this year's appropriation, will make possible the completion of the con- struction work within the 3-year period covered by recent legislation. I read from the report, as follows; filnce the consideration of the appropria- tion for fiscal year 1956. Public Law 129 has heen approved (the act of July 1, 1955). The committee, in its report on the regular ap- propriation for fLscal year 1956 (Department of Commerce and Related Agencies Appro- priation Act, 1956), said: "inter-Amerkan Highway: The committee re-Tornmends an appropriation of $25,250,000 tor tile, eontinuance of the construction of the Inter-American Highway which is the full 'mount of the authorized Mit unap- pr `pskted balance. the sense of the committee that the a of this Nation, our friendship for ?ighbor nations, the value of surface to the Panama Canal, and many other al benefits dictate early completion of 'highway." recommending $49.730,060 for this pur- , the committee. is, in the strongest Its, reiterating the views which were .tea in the previous report. Under this ?appropriation, the highway should be com- pleted in 3 years. I am certain I voice the ardent wish of every member of our committee that the work may be prosecuted just as ag- gressively and rapidly as sound construc- tion policies will permit, and that we may all look forward to the day, not longer than 3 years off, when citizens of the United States may easily, by motor- car, traverse our friendly neighbors,' Mexico and the Central American countries, to arrive at Panama City or I he Canal Zone,' which is such an im- portant part of this Nation's investment in economic and military stability.

Mr. MANSFIELD. I thank the chair- man. I wanted to get assurance that the projects were included in the bill which is now before the Senate, and to ascer- tain what amounts were being provided. Mr. HAYDEN. The amount stated in the committee report is the same as the amount contained in the bill as it was reported to the House. Mr. MANSFIELD. I thank the chair- man. Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, will the Senator from Arizona yield?, Mr. HAYDEN. I yield. Mr. HUMPHREY. As a matter of clarification, With respect th the item which relates to the White House Con- ference onEducation, is that fund ade- quate to take care of the estimated ex- penses of the delegates from all sections of the country who will attend the con- ference? Mr. HAYDEN. The amount allowed was the full amount of the budget esti- mate, and included the transportation expenses of the persons who would at- tend the conference. Mr. HUMPHREY. Am I correct in un- derstanding that the provision will apply equally in all States? ? Mr. HAYDEN. Yes. The idea was that if the conference was to be suc- cessful, all the States should be repre- sented; and if no funds for transporta- tion were provided, only those who could afford to spend their own money would come to Washington. Mr. HUMPHREY. Yes. Another item is that relating to the Atomic Energy Commission. As the Senator may recall, the House included funds, if my memory is correct, for research and development. I believe the House pro- vided an additional sum of approximate- ly $25 million. Has that item been re- tained in the appropriation bill as re- ported by the committee? . Mr. HAYDEN. 'Yes; it has been in- cluded. Mr. HUMPHREY. So that we may clearly understand the situation, can that money be used for pilot-plant dem- onstration and pilot-plant experimenta- tion? Mr. HAYDEN. Everything recom- mended in the budget estimate was al- lowed, except funds for the reactor for the cargo ship. All other items' as planned by the Commission are carried In the bill. Mr. HUMPHREY. Since some Seritt tors are interested in the question of REA development, is there anything within the language of the appropria- tion bill in connection with this partienT' lar atomic energy reserirch and develop ment fund which would prevent or, , .hibit the Atomic Energy Commission' from cooperating with rural electric:ce7 operatives in the establishment or' the 'Creation of reactor plants or furnaces?, r Or ye Mr. HAYDEN. ,That is taken care,?o under operating expenses. which are,! ap- propriated for in the public-works But So far as cooperation is concerned: 'there is no prohibition against the, Atomic Energy Commission cooperating, with REA% any more than Uteri is against cooperation with other' organ- izations. ? ".? Mr. HUMPHREY. In other words, the funds which are provided for the Atomic Energy Commission in the area of research and development would be available for experimental purposes and pilot-plant purposes for a private a rural electric cooperative, or whatever legitimate purpose of reactor develop- ment the Commission might desire, with .the exception of the ship. Mr. HAYDEN. Provision for the ship Is omitted from the bill; that is all. Mr. HUMPHREY. The so-called com- mercial ship. Mr. THYE. Mr. President, I am glad the question was asked of the chairman relative to the discretional authorization to the Atomic Energy Commission rela- tive to research activity and pilot-plant development for the REA Association, because as the matter was discussed in committee it was my understanding that the funds would be made available for use at the discretion of the Atomic Energy Commission, and that the Com- mission could enter into that field for the. purpose of research activity. I wish to offer three amendments to the bill. The first amendment I propose Is immediately after line 4, page 2, fol- lowing the headings "Agricultural Re- search Service" and "Salaries and ex- penses." My amendment reads: Por additional amount for salaries and expenses for research, 9380,000. I believe the funds my amendment suggests must be provided so that addi- tional research activities may go for- ward. If the problem of surpluses is to be solved, it will have to be done to a great extent by means of research; cer- tainly research will help. I think the amendment is a sound one. I have dis- cussed it with officials of the Department of Agriculture and they are in full sup- port of the amendment. , ? The PRESIDING OFFIChit (Mr.': PAY= in the chair). Will the Senator submit his amendment? . Mr. THEE. I cannot, sir. I have It. attached to my copy of the bill. To that copy of the bill are attached my two. - amendments. The other amendment is Intended to be proposed after line 15, page 3. to insert the following language: FARMERS' HOME ADMINISTRATION LOAN AUTHORIZATION For additional amounts for "loans au- thorizations," for loans under title II of the, Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, ' amended, 915 million: Provided, That noi'to,?; exceed' the foregoing several amounts ,shall, ? be borrowed In" one account from the Elcc=, retary of the Treasury in accordance the provisions set forth under this head !lit the Department.,ear, Agriculture Appropria- tion Act 1952 ' , ?

(leo< 1io. have it. but I have ati !fi, amendments which I propose 1.0 suritnit to the bill. I believe the ch.iLmao of the committee has had the question taised and explained to him. Mr. HAYDEN Mr. President, the committee had under consideration cer- tain other provisions which were not au- thorized by law. What I understand the Senator from Minnesota is doing is of- fering an amendment which is not sub- ject to a point of order. ? Mr THYE. That is correct. ? Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? ? Mr. THYE. I yield. Mr. YOUNG. Does the Senator plan ? to offer all three amendments en bloc, .or separately? Mr. THYE. They could be offered en bloc, because they relate to research and Increasing the amount of money avail- able for research and loans under the Bank head-Jones Act. If additional ? funds are provided, the administrative funds must be increased. That is the reason for proposing the amount of $350.000. Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, I think the restoration of $15 million for loan authorization under the Farmers' Home Administration is fully justified. The Department of Agriculture had asked for $30 million. I think a mistake was made in the committee Itself in writing up the hill, because I do not believe the committee intended to delete the entire $30 million, but only that part for which there was no authorizing legislation, such as loans to part-time farmers, and appropriations for like purposes. There is opposition to this item in both the House and Senate Agriculture Commit- tees. We had considerable opposition in our own Appropriations Committee, and I think the $15 million should be re- stored, together with the $350,000 for salaries, but I would object to restoring $380,000 for research. The Committee on Agriculture and Forestry has been very liberal with re- search funds. We have appropriated at least $7 million more this year and last year than was appropriated in pre- vious years. In the vast amount of money which has been appropriated for research, which is in excess of $7 Million, $350,000 could be found for this purpose. I do not think it represents an emer- gency which has to be dealt with in a supplemental appropriation bill. I hope the two items will be approved, but not the one for research. ? The PRIIDING OFFICER Will the :Senator from Minnesota submit his ?amendments to the desk? Mr. .SPARKMAN. Mr. President, be. ore that Is done-4.' . The PRESIDING OFFTCE1t. The enator from Arizona has the floor. r 'FRYE: Mr. President, will the enator .from 'Arizona yield, so that I nay state the, :reeSon, for the $380,000 'or research? ?'Mr. flAYDEl4. I yield. 'Mr; THYE. The additional 'funds are :needed to undertake research designed ,to 'aid low income farm families to im- prove their level of living, in line with the objectives set forth in the report on the development of agriculture's human resources. The total increase of $380,000 would be used in connection with the following projects: One, farm and land manage- ment research, $310,000, to aid such fam- ilies to increase their earning capacity; and two, human nutrition and home economics research, $70,000, to evaluate the effect of shifts to part-time or off- farm work on family living in terms of nutritional quality of diet and kind of living. That is the justification for the amount proposed on page 2 following line 4. Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, the De- partment of Agriculture has had funds provided for exactly this same purpose. I would think they would be able to get along from now until next year on the very liberal allowances we have given them. Mr. THYE. Mr. President, I would not be as positive in my feeling that the $380,000 was needed as I am on the ques- tion of the $15 million and the item for salaries and expenses of $350,000, because I believe the loan fund is a necessity. If the loaning authority fund is in- creased, the administrative funds will be necessary. To an extent I agree with the Senator from North Dakota relative to research, but I think the assistance which will be made available by increasing the amount of funds to be administered under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act is an absolute must, because it is the only way to safeguard the young couples who are seeking to get established as tenants on farming operations of their own. Mr. President, I certainly hope there will be no objection to' the two amend- ments which are proposed on page 3. Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President, will the Senator from Arizona yield? Mr. HAYDEN. / yield. Mr. AIKEN. I believe the amendments are very important. I believe the $15 million amendment, relating to the Bankhead-Jones Act, is the most im- portant; and, of course, the Increased amount for salaries is important. Per- sonally I favor the research program, because .I believe it is important to have a particular kind of research in this tleld. However, I value the unanimity of the Senate as highly as or more highly than I do the extra amount which might be used for research. If the need for re- search funds becomes acute by the time the second session of this Congress be- gins, I am sure the Senator from North Dakota would not object to making an appropriation for that purpose. Mr. YOUNG. I would be happy :ter consent ? ? ' Mr. AIKEN. It is simply a (gigaton of using the .funds which are available for 4 or 5 months. Mr; HAYDEN. Mr. President 'nil,* I Mgest to the Senator from Minnesota that he withdraw the first amendment and offer the other two en bloc? - Mr. THYE. Mr. President, I ask unan- imous consent that my first amendment, on page 2, be withdrawn; and that the other two amendments, on page 3, be considered en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair is advised that, as of the moment, no amendments have been submitted by the Senator from Minnesota. Mr. THYE. The Chair is entirely cor- rect; I just realized that. Mr. President, I now offer the two amendments to be found on page 3 in the marked copy of the bill I have sent to the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair understands that the Senator ? Minnesota has requested unanimous con- sent that the two amendments on page 3 be considered en bloc. Mr. THYE. That is correct. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator, from Minnesota that his amendments be considered en bloc? Without objection, It is so ordered; and the amendments ' of the Senator from Minnesota will be stated. The ExcistaTIvz CLxinc.

It is my purpose to offer a second paragraph at this point, and its effect would be to increase the administrative expenses, as carried in lines 18 and 19. Would such an amend- , ment be in order after the amendment of the Senator from Minnesota, to increase the amount, is agreed to? The PRESIDING OFFICER.

Mr. President, I wish to make inquiry with respect to the ap- propriation for the Command and Gen- eral Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Through the kindness of the dis- tinguished senior Senator from New Mexico (Mr. Cnevezl, I had the privi- lege of appearing before the commit- tee and presenting the item. I was ac- companied by Secretary of the Army Stevens and General Davidson, the com- mandant at the Staff College. On page 13 of the committee report, I find the following paragraph: Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth: The budget estimate for this Item was 38,615,000. The House committee reduced this amount by $5,423,000. Total restoration was requested. The Senate committee granted an additional $200,000 for planning of the academic building, or a total of $3,382,000. Am I to understand from that lan- guage that the amount available?pro- vided the item is approved in confer- ence?will be $3,382,000? Mr. HAYDEN. The Senator is cor- rect. Plans and specifications will be prepared, so that at the next session of Congress this item can be fully consid- ered. Mr. CARLSON. I appreciate the con- sideration shown by the committee with respect to this item. The structure con- cerned is an important academic build- ing, necessary in the operation of tin Command and General Staff College This is where a thousand or 1,200 toi flight officers of all branches are in. structed. I hope that in the next ses lion of Congress sufficient funds will b provided to construct this building.

Mr. President, last Tuesday, I commented on a newspaper report about Secretary Huraphrey's tes- timony on the emergency accelerated amortization program. In my com- ments, I Pointed out that I had opposed the 1954 revision of the Internal Revenue Code because of its amortization provi- sions, and I indicated that this was the amortization provision to which I ob- jected in last year's bill. Secretary Humphrey has called to my attention the fact that it was the gen- eral amortization provisions of last year's bill to which I had objected, rather than to the continuance of the emergency ac- celerated amortization provision: and I wish to make this correction, for the benefit of the Senate. The emergency accelerated amortiza- tion program under section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, formerly section 124A, is a justified measure to assist in increasing defense-production capacity, where this method is the most satisfac- tory front the point of view of the Gov- ernment,. ' Of course, as Secretary Hum- phrey pointed out, such measures are justified only as emergency measures, and should be stopped as soon as the emergency is over. This is why it is surprising to find that 41.14 ing the past three quarters, the nUM. ber and the dollar value of the certifi- cates issued have been increasing. The Office of Defense Mobilization, the certifying authority under the law, seems to find more emergency facilities, rather than less, necessary. As the au- thority to issue these certificates is en- tirely discretionary, I agree with Secre- tary Humphrey's concern at this new trend. This seems one more ease, like the ex- emption from the antitrust laws for vol- untary agreements, or the exemption from the conflict-of-interest statutes for industry-paid employees, where the Ad- ministration favors continuance and ex- tension of emergency measures which benefit business, particularly big busi- ness, at the same time as it takes pleas- ure in announcing that price and rent controls may be ended because the emer- gency is over. The general provisions concerning amortization, relaxing the requirements for the benefit of industry, are a different matter. My objection to those provi- sions, as to the other provisions encour- aging investment, such as the dividend credits, was that such strong measures of encouragement to investment, as con- trasted with tax relief for consumers, were not necessary in 1954 to continue the flow of funds into investment. It is not clear just how far these measures helped to stimulate the stock market in its upward course last fall and winter. But it seems clear that these encouraging measures provided somewhat more en- thusiasm for investment than was need- ed by the stock market. Mr. President, I ask unanimous con- sent to have printed in the RECORD at this point as a part of my remarks the fol- lowing: ? A copy of a letter dated July 20, 1955, iddressed to me by the Secretary of the Treasury, calling my attention to the difference which I mentioned, together with his statement to the Subcommittee on Legal and Monetary Affairs of the House Government Operations Commit- tee: a copy of my letter. dated July 26, 1955, in reply to the Secretary's letter, to- gether with a United Press dispatch of July 4, describing the latest period .in which the tax writeoffs have been al- lowed by the Office of Defense Mobiliza- tion, particularly calling attention to the nature of the amortization provision with respect to the Atchison, Topeka I: Santa Pe Railroad, as an example of acceler- ated amortization for a.purpose.Which it, Is difficult for me to believe is necessW tated by. any emergency in the national defense. There being no objection, the matters referred to were ordered to be printed In the Rzcoite, as follows: TWX SsCarraay or THE TREASURY. Washington, July Aq The Honorable J. W. Pirtaitioxrr, United States Senate, Washington D I have carefully read your remarks in the Record and I am afraid that you are confused between the provisions for accelerated amor- tisation about which I was testifying and the new provisions which revamped the reg- ular depreciation schedules in last year's tax law, which were not under discussion. The ESCORD quotes ? you as saying: "? * that this is a procedure or policy which was initiated during the Korean war and has, continued since that time, and that all of a' sudden the Secretary of the Treasury ha.s discovered that it is an artificial stimulus of, a dangerous character. This is the very point which was under consideration last year dur- ing the debate on the tax bill, and it, was one of the principal reasons why I voted - against the tax bill, and why I believe a', number of other Senators voted against that bill." I well remember your objection In the de- bate last year to the tax bill and to Its pro- visions relating to the depreciation Bc hed - nice. These, however, have nothing whatever to do with accelerated amortization about which I was testifying on Monday, and it is a fact that those provisions for accelerated amortization were actually passed by the 81st, Congress, effective as of January 1, 1050. and they have continued as a part of the Korean program since that time. For your information. T Rth enclosing is copy of my statement before the subcom, mittee, in which you will see that my whole Point is that the Korean provisions have now largely outlived their 'usefulness, and, therefore, from now on should be sparingly used and rigidly confined. I am sure you will want to correct your mistaken criticism of my position, and I am very glad to have the opportunity to supply you with the facts concerning it. Sincerely, ? GEORGE M. HUMPHREY.
