Efforts along these lines could lead to the removal of the many exchange controls which still remain and which in- hibit economic growth in many nations. At the same time, governments should act to remove the network of other controls which restrict enterprise and sustain local, high- cost monopolies. Economic growth, and the real benefits to all participants in the com- munity which can accrue from growth, are maximized in an atmosphere of political and economic stability under which competitive private enterprise can thrive. "In a very real sense, the Alliance for Progress is concerned with the age-old prob- lem of trying to bake a bigger pie and divide the slices more evenly at the same time. The emphasis to datehas been mostly on the side of slicing the pie. While such efforts may be desirable in the long run, the immediate ef- fect has been to shrink the potential size of the pie. Experience around the world shows clearly that the national welfare is better served by far through policies which enlarge the entire pie. "To accelerate economic advance in Latin America, efforts on many fronts will be re- quired. Governments have important roles to play-in such areas as schools, health, farm extension services and roads. However, the overriding needs is for an increased flow of private capital from both local and for- eign sources and for a significant and con- tinuing improvement in the efficiency with which all resources, including most im- portantly human resources, are used. "For these reasons, we urge that U.S. policies be reoriented to place far greater emphasis on the encouragement of private enterprise and Investment. What has been done to date along these lines is simply not enough. The encouragement of private en- terprise, local and foreign, must become the main thrust of the Alliance. This would in- volve two major changes in U.S. policy. "The first requirement is that the govern- ments-and, as far as possible, the people- of Latin America know that the United States has changed its policy so as to put primary stress on improvement in the gen- eral business climate as a prerequisite for social development and 4eform. It must be made clear that U.S. policy in this hemi- sphere Is based on the need for rapid eco- nomic growth and on the belief, confirmed by all available evidence, that this can be achieved within a reasonably free political framework only if private capital is given the opportunity to work in a favorable environ- ment. This means that our policies should be consistent throughout the area and should discourage tendencies toward nationaliza- tion of industries and encourage setting up explicit rules which provide for truly reason- able indemnification where nationalization has taken place. "In addition we should discourage policies which tend to distort normal economic rela- tionships-policies leading to overvalued, and multivalued exchange systems, complex import controls with high and highly vari- able traiffs, quotas and other forms of trade restriction. price controls and highly unpre- dictable budgetary practice. In short, emphasis should be placed on creating an atmosphere in which private business plan- ning can go on without undue concern about possible changes in the rules of the game. Countries following these policies should be given tangible and active support.

Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, it has been aptly stated that the history of the Pan- ama Canal Is one of continuing crises. those of key character concern the best site and the best type. known `as the battle of routes ahd battle of the levels. Moreover, this pattern of struggle re- appears periodically, and since 1947 the question of the proper moderniiition of the Panama Canal has been beset with repetitions of these old controversies In slightly modified forms. Over a period of years, a number of Members of the Congress, several in the House but only one in the Senate, who have. made serious studies of the canal question and recognized its magnitude, have introduced bills to create the Inter- oceanic Canals Commission. In so do- ing, It was their purpose to provide an effective agency to develop a timely, deft- nite, and wisely reasoned isthmian canal policy, which the Congress and the Na- tion can accept and which time and usage will justify. Unfortunately, this task has been complicated immeasurably by the ratifi- cation In 1955 of a secretly, contrived canal treaty between the hulled States and Panama and by the nationalization in 1956 of the Suez Canal by Egypt. Despite the inherent differences between the juridical foundations of the two In- teroceanfc canals;-this action by Egypt served to evoke a chain of aggressive na- tionalistic and communistic revolution- ary inspired agitations in Panama, some of.thein marked by mob violence led by well-trained`-Teaders. The' Tong-range objectives of this revolutionary move- ment Is the wresting of the sovereign control of file Panariia "Canal from the 'United States and the extortion of great- ii benefits from the toll revenues. The only basis for such alms Is that Inherent in' Panama's geographical location, which Is adjacent to the Canal Zone ter- ritory. The' difficulties of -securing in- creased transit capacity have now be- come severely aggravated by'the neces- sity for safeguarding the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the United States over the' Panama Canal" and the Canal Zone. As a start In this direction, I made a series of major addresses in the House beginning in 1951 and continuing up to the present Congress. These Included, In comprehensive detail, the diplomatic and legislative history of the acquisition by the tinted States in 19114 of our ter- ritorial possession known as the Panama Canal Zone. Though 'these efforts were generally Ignored In the mass news media of the United States or.-when presented, had their meaning --distorted, they were prominently featured in the press of nama.'especlefy in the Spanish lan- guage papers, Which r follow closely. Through the latter, they have produced echoes from various countries of Latin America. The failure on the part of elements In our Department of State to stop thedep- redations of isthmian agitators by means of forthright declarations of U.S. policy, in the course of time, has led to a chain of diplomatic victories by Panama, mak- ing the United States a laughing stock in the Western Hemisphere. So confi- dent did anti-U.S. extremists become that the Panamanian National Assembly even attempted to encircle the Canal Zone by enacting legislation extending the 3-mile limit to 12 miles, with Panama controlling the water at each end of the zone's 3-mile limit, which could have made that waterway another Berlin. This attempt, our Government very promptly and properly refused to recog- nize, but friction resulted. - The radical leadership in the Panama National Assembly, which includes some Marxist-Leninists, obviously understood the significance of my researches in the exposure of their schemes and did not stop with the attempted encirclement of the Canal Zone. It followed up by giving me the unique distinction of being for- mally declared as public enemy No. 1 of Panama. The situation on the isthmus was wor- ened on Septemer 17, 1960, when the President of the United States, in a mis- taken gesture of friendship, by an Exec- utive order soon after the adjournment of the Congress, directed the formal dis- play of the Panamanian flag outside the flag of the United States at one place in the Canal Zone as evidence of a so-called titular sovereignty of Panama over the zone. This unfortunate precedent of striking the American flag in the Canal Zone, as predicted by me on the floor of the House, merely served to open the door, for in Panama and elsewhere, the action was interpreted as a belated United States recognition of Pana- manian sovereignty. In this connection, Mr. Speaker, I would invite attention to the fact that on February 2, 1960, after full debate, the House of Representatives approved House Concurrent Resolution 459, 86th Congress, against such display by the overwhelming vote of 381 to 12, which was transmitted to the Senate but, for reasons not published, was never acted -upon by that body. In addition, the Congress passed the Gross amendment to the Department of Commerce Appro- priations Act prohibiting the expendi- ture of funds embraced in the act for such purpose. No wonder isthmian ex- tremists became emboldened and arro- gant. Under these circumstances, the neces- sity for an effective counterpoise to Pan- ama became clearly evident. This com- pensating force developed in the form of growing demands for a second canal at -Ricaragua,The ancient rival of the Pan- amanian site, and elsewhere. In an ad- dress to the House on June 30, 1960, I undertook to give a comprehensive de- scription of the Nicaraguan project, which was largely based on a 1931 re- port-House Document No. 139, 72d Con- gress-and to advocate its consideration. The second canal idea, thus stimulated, served as an antidote for Castroism in -Panama and to still some of the violent Approved For Release 2004/06/23 : ;CIA-RDP65B00383R000200230055-,7 11 Approved For R BB9 1 L SBM 00200230055-7 Febiwd 228f---- Approved For- / 00200230055'7February 18 I city of e ort (, ouro Synagogue Mr. MORSE.

There's no doubt that Bohemia Libre's spectacular format and content-it's a sort of hot-licks, Police Gazette version of Life magazine-made effective propaganda in sev- eral Caribbean areas, as well as among Cuban exiles in the United States, at least until the Bay of Pigs disaster in April, 1961. There is also no doubt that since then, it has been not so sharp a tool. But, there is also no doubt that the Red propagandists in Havana would crow over its final demise. Here are several, versions of why Bohemia hasn't been going to press recently: 1. A -cartoon of the Kennedy family sched- uled for page 1 on January 1, was so insult- ing that the CIA lowered the boom. 2. That knowledge of CIA support had -leaked so that it had ruined the. magazine's effectiveness. 3. That the magazine has simply lost its effectiveness anyway, since the groups it sup- -ported lost the Say of Pigs battle. 4. That if the actual size of the CIA's sub- sidy of Bohemia Libre got into the hands of Congress, it would embarass the Kennedy administration-and the CIA-just about as thoroughly as the Bay of pigs disaster itself. 5. White H-ouse adviser Arthur Schlesinger found Bohemia Libre "too conservative," ac- cording to one of the magazine's editorial workers, who also said there were financial problems. According to this magazine's staffer, Bohe- mia Libre furnished a U.S. Senator with photos of the Russian buildup in Cuba and that didn't help with the administration, either.

SCHMIDT, RECIPIENT OF CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, in 1906, while in the service of the U.S. Navy, Otto D. Schmidt reacted heroically to the explosion of a boiler aboard the U.S.S._ Bennington. For his actions in saving the lives of a number of the crew, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, this Nation's highest military honor. From 1922 until his retirement in 1948, Mr. Schmidt was an employee of the post office in Norfolk, Nebr. He walked some 69 000 miles carrying the mail to his neighbors in Norfolk. Mr. Schmidt served his country hon- orably both as a seaman and a civilian. On Sunday, February 10, 1963, he passed away. His death reduced the number of those awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor now living to 290, only 14 of whom are peacetime recipients. Mr. Schmidt was the Iast living Nebras- kan to be given this medal. Mr. President, I ask unanimous con- sent to have printed in the RECORD the article about Mr. Otto D.

This administration believes deeply in the right and the duty of a state to defend itself from actual or threatened aggression. The recent most classic example Is, Cuba. At times In the past, and possibly In the future there have been different approaches to,th1s question by the United States and by Israel. Our Government has held that a member of the United Nations should exhaust the op- portunities which that organization affords for peaceful settlement before actually Mooting at the other side or shooting back in retaliation.

Our. xplintry has felt that anticipating a veto does not justify re- Susing to present a case before retaliation. It is my estimate that currently there is k.better underatandtng on this question be- tween the United States and Israel. Hope- .Sully, this, with all of Its Implied risks, night avoid the kind of misunderstanding In the Jewish community that arose in the spring of 1982 when the Security Council Genaured Israel. But if Israel. honestly fears its chances in the Security Council and therefore avoida initiating Security Coun- c11' processes when attacked, there is the danger of a repetition of the unhappy events cf..Jast year. If this, should happen, the Important thing will be to determine whether It actually affects the long-term friendly relations between the two countries rx Is it only an unfortunate, but nevertheless iseatng phase. .2: Let us take a calm but brief look at the Arab refugee problem. The United States and Israel- would both like to ass this prob- lem solved. Both countries are generally moved by humanitarianism. But sovereign states cannot afford generosity if other vital Interests are seriously and-adversely affected. Israel properly fears for Its security In the agent of large scale repatriation. The sine Qua non of sovereignty Is the security of a uation's people. I am completely sanguine that the Kennedy administration.. would never deliberately and consciously encourage a plan which would endanger the security of Israel, no matter how urgent it regards the desirability of an Arab refugee solution. Yet. It Is Inconceivable that the Congress will continue to make substantial appropria- tions for UNWRA much longer without evi- dence that a solution It being actively sought cr Is on the horizon.. It seems patent that both countries agree =completely on three things: (a) It Is politically desirable that the prob- Mm be solved: (b) a solution must not adversely affect the security of Israel: and (c) that simple humanitarianism de- mands that the problem be solved. But there can be differences dictated by differing exposures and accountabilities of the governments involved. These differences, if they arise, can only yield to patient and painstaking negotiation between the govern- raents involved. The subetttute, of polemics Will only complicate, not clarify. Recent events tend to negate the prospect of a serious split on this Issue. On a par- ticular amendment In the General Assembly, ,the United States and . Israel.stnod alone in voting against it. The reasons differed, but the fact created much comment In -the halls of the United Nations. The debate In the 17th General Assembly and the voting pat- tern suggest that maybe basic and overt differences can be avoided. Nevertheless. I am convinced that, in keeping with his pub- lic pledges, the President and this adman- letration will try for achievable solutions but with sincere and intelligent regard for Israel's security as well as the welfare of the refugees. 9. In another area of potential static- assistance to states not friendly to Israel- I feel more at home as a result of my re- cant work. One of the oldest foreign aid debates is whether a donor state should dis- pense aid to states unless. they are allied with It formally and informally. This ques- tion loses some of its steam if foreign aid ib approached from a moral point of view. The United States is the richest and most power- ful Nation In the world. Like a rich and powerful individual, it has some responsi- bility to those less fortunate. How and to what extent it discharges this is within Its own control. But, If it acts for selfish rea- sons alone, the decisions may be self-de- feating. Just like philanthropy distributed for self-aggrandisement loses its flavor, so foreign aid used to buy friendships rarely succeeds. On the other hand. one must candidly recognize that if foreign aid strengthens a country. such added strength can be used for better or for worse. A nation sincerely try- ing to develop economically has little time and less resource for military adventure. Self-defense Is all it can afford at best. Some states have not yet learned this truth- I believe that the hope for peace in the world depends on the elevation of the eco- nomic and social standards of many peoples. This is a fundamental objective of the United Nations Charter. It has symbolized the policy of the United States In this post-war era. It can be honestly argued whether aid extended to certain Arab States will blunt the edge of their antagonisms toward Israel or feed the flame of their hostility. But It cannot be disputed that the presence of a constructive U.S. influence should tend to lessen potential troubles. This is a disturbing problem. When a state that proclaims belligerence and threatens hostilities against a neighbor is provided food and credits, It Is reasonable to assume that It Is strengthened to commit war even though the aid itself is directed to other channels. A historic analysis of such situations will demonstrate that there are risks in either aiding or withholding aid In a dangerous world. On the balance, the odds should favor establishing a con- structive U.S. influence if possible and in elevating the economic and social level of the people themselves. It Is foolhardy to do so recklessly without careful and rational examination accompanied by constant re- view. So long as the United States is in the position of making choices and decisions that could affect the cause of peace and the Interests of the free world, questions will continue to arise as to whether our policy at a given moment promotes the eas- ing or heightening of tensions In the Mid- dle East. We must be careful to relate what happens to policy objectives, to the degree of caution that Is exercised and to the fre- quency of the review of potentialities. Perhaps, under such circumstances, any open split involving friends of Israel will be averted. But actually, it is not these dramatic and Isolated Issues that provide the basic tests of American-Israel relations any more than they do of U.S. relations with many friends. The real tests rest on far more fundamental mat- ters than votes In the United Nations or whether a little more or a little less aid should or should not have been given to a country not friendly to Israel or whether solutions for the Arab refugee problem should be sought In one way or another openly or clandestinely. The real question Is Will a great power help a relatively new and, struggling small state to, maintain its independence and its sovereignty if its se- curity to endangered and will it help that state overcome an adverse economic, balance aq It can escape national poverty. In. these matters .of real life or death I speak with complete conviction.. The inde- pendence and security of Israel are an ele- ment of the U.S. foreign policy. This is not is new policy. But in recent months it passed the acid test. The United States has never provided major arms assistance to the State of Israel.

Although a step has been made in the right direction, it this step is all the United States Intends to do with relations to the Cuban situation, then. In my estimation, we have taken a very weak and dangerous posi- tion on Cuba. I assume that in any anlu- EXTENSION OF REMARKS or HON. DANIEL J. FLOOD OF Pafx$TLVANUA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES will not overlook the fact that Cuba Is occupied by not only Russslan technicians, but admittedly by Communlate from other Red bloc nations lhciuding Red China. If some of the Russian technicians leave, the status quo is still maintained with little change. If the medium range missile bases are dismantled, the mobile short range bases can still exist well concealed In the inacces- sible regions of the country. What, if any- thing, will be done about the "fishing base" being built for Russian submarines and ves- sels spying on U.S. rocket tests? What will be done about the guerrillas and arms being exported from Cubs to every country In the Western Hemisphere? A solution to the Cuban problem which does not include the above and other points too numerous to enumerate at this time, In no solution at all. If the United States calls for nothing but the dismantling of nuclear bases in Cuba and discontinuance of ship- ment of offensive weapons into that country , we have taken a very weak and dangerous Brarz DErASTUINT DocvnoNas RsvzAL RI. position.

In the middle of 1981 in my "United States Needs a Doctrine of Self-Pregerva. tion" which subsequently appeared In the U.S. OONOag$BIONAL Racosn, I pointed out that the advances of communism must be stopped Immediately and neither the United states nor our friends in the Western Hemisphere can wait any longer. In the war we are currently fighting against com- munism, the Russians are unlikely to wend troops to any Latin American country. Their blueprint for taking over the Latin American nations is through subversion from within, then arming the government friend- ly to them with Rims, tanks, planes needed t p maintain power. Communists send tech- nicians of all types, but not actually troops Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, In the days before World War II, when the flow of political news from China was normal, there were many reports of Chinese war- lords extorting the payment of taxes far in advance. Little did I then expect to see the time when comparable exactions would be attempted in the Western Hemisphere. Documents published by the United States in December 1962 reveal that on January 31, 1941, the Ambassador of Panama in Washington omcially asked that Panama Canal annuities be paid for 60 years In advance. The following news story .from the December 17, 1982, edition of the Star and Herald of Panama, Republic of Panama, Is commended for reading by WASKINGroN,--U.S. documents published today said the Republic of Panama asked the United States in 1941 to advance to Panama, for the next b0 yaars, the annuities paid under the Panama Canal Treaty. The proposition cams at a time the United Statse was seeking use of additional lands, during the early part of 1941, for defense of the Panama Canal. The annuity at that time was $430,000 a year. It has since been raised to $1,9/0,000 yearly. The State Department published docu- laent. dealing with diplomatic relations with some of the American Republics In 1941. Sumner Welke, then Under Secretary of State, said the Ambassador of Panama called on him on January al, 1941. Carlos N. Brin was mentioned in another document as Am- bassador of Panama about that time. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Weller said, felt the United States-Panama 'Treaty out on a limb and brings Into sharp focw sale to the venal Zone authorities altos out- the need of a new doctrine to re lace the side the zone if required for the defense of the . ou tdated, obsolete, and Inoperable Monroe W,dc ja said he told the Panamanian Am- Doctrine The Rueslans have set the precedent In bassador of Roosevelt's views and the sug- their actions toward Hungary in 1953 on the was gn gravel' that eedecewe "the world siobtain- basis that a hostile, non-Communist govern- wag spe was important !n tst ment In Hungary would constitute a threat "Finally." use of ing the altos. to the actual security of Russia.

"The Ambassador then ylandiy made the suggestion that the United States advance to Panama all of the canal annuities for the next 50 years. The Ambassador said that In this way the American bondholders could all be paid off and Panama would be able to rAileve her economic situation. I said that this situation to my mind was inconceivable and that I could not comprehend the ref- erence to the economic situation of Panama since, to my knowledge, Panama was the only 1 of the 21 American Republics which today was in a highly prosperous situation and that this was due entirely to the work on the canal." The landsites, of size and number npt outlined in the published documents, were provided by Panama within a few weeks, and negotiations were then concluded on various Concessions to Panama by the United States, including certain construction and maintenance, and an agreement to seek legis- lation to cede to Panama certain lands of the Panama Railroad.

Mr. Speaker, I want' to take this opportunity, to place in the Racono a very flee article entitled "Shifting Sands" by Dr. Cabel J. King, Sr., editor-emeritus of the Florida Times-Union. Dr. King's comments ap- peared In the February 12, 1963, Issue of the Florida Times-Union, and I think they will be of interest to my colleagues. Dr. King has dealt effectively with a matter of serious Import to Florida and to all coastline areas. This Is a ditD- cult problem with which to deal, but it may be of interest to point out that a project Is now being discussed between my office and representatives of the Uni- versity of Florida and of the Department of the Interior for research activities de- signed to help control beach erosion. The article follows: Bmsrrnxo BANDS (By Dr. Caleb J.

Much better than a blackjack would be a telephone call from the bepartment of Jus- tice to get contributions from these sources. Next in importance to the ransom effort was the transportation industry, always sub- ject to Federal regulation and always having antitrust laws hanging over Its head. The enormous supplies contributed by the drug manufacturers would, of course, have to be assembled and transported for free. The railroads, the truckers, the airlines and shipping companies responded to the Department. of Justice's call just as gen- erously as the pharmaceutical industry. More than 600,000 pounds of cargo was flown by eight domestic airlines, without cost, Nineteen railroads provided 80 boxcars on a special run, without cost. Eight truck- ing firms moved 420,000 pounds, without cost. Fifteen shipping companies teamed up to provide the ship to move the cargo to Cuba, without cost. As for the $2,900,000 In cash which Castro demanded at the last moment, its sources haven't been disclosed. It is not difficult to guess that most, if not all of it, came from firms doing business with the Government who were scarcely in a position to say no to their best customer, regardless of their per- sonal feelings toward the ransom. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, how- ever, is largely credited with raising the money, which is said to have Included a $1 million contribution from one man, a $1 million loan from another. The American people, we know, are as glad as they can be that the Cuban prisoners have been freed. They well deserve the accolade of this Na- tion, which President and Mrs. Kennedy gave them in that moving ceremony in the Orange Bowl at Miami Saturday-the admiration of people the whole world over who prize liberty above all else. As freedom fighters, they had sailed off with high hope and courage to liberate their homeland-with the blessings of the U.S. Government, which had largely arranged the venture. And they had been led to the slaughter from Castro's few planes because the air cover they had been promised was not forth- coming from the mightiest air force in the world. Even so, this was a shameful price the country had to pay for the President's mis- take, and this was a shameful way in which our Government skirted its own laws to pay it. Tides of Tyranny EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JOHN V. LINDSAY OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES . Thursday, February 14, 1963 Mr. LINDSAY. Mr. Speaker, on Sun- day, February 0, I had the privilege of speaking before the Lithuanian Ameri- can Council of Greater New York, on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of Lith- uanian independence.

This history will be interesting to my colleagues: Tmzs or TYasar)TY (By Representative Toga V: LINDSAY)' For those of us gathered here today and for the more than 2 million Americans of Lithuanian descent, February 19 is Indeed g historic occasion, a date which celeb-atee heroism in the past, and which symbolizes hope for the future. For'45 years Lithu- anians whenever they might be have to- .Sather recalled with patriotic pride that day In 1918 when Individual valor brought na- tional victory to a small by ancient land ong dominated by despicable despotism. In view of the significance of that day and the solemnity of this occasion, it is indeed a distinct honor for me to join with you in lgommemorating the 45th anniversary of the restoration of Lithuania's independence. The tyranny which enslaves Lithuania to- day completely overshadows the tyranny which oppressed that country in the past. But we should not forget that the heroic history of Lithuania is at the same time a t gic epic of foreign egg esslOns repeated so Often that,. when we consider this history. we ln1gbt well speak of the incessant "tides of tyranny." February 18: 1918. marks the greatest chapter in this saga, a chapter in Which TIQse evil tides emerged from beneath the oppressive waters of ty tinny. Today I propdee to retie* 'briefly this epic struggle of Lithuania to maintain her identity and to defend her independence against cen- tutes of, aggression and oppression.- Only 'cc eii we fecafT these centuries of struggle 'Which produced the victo y of I9l$1 only then do we Ize the full significance 01 P ebruary I And only then can we real- ise the magnitude of 'the' tremendous task which Is ours today, the task of turning back and ateiniriing forever these "tides of tyranny.- Lithuania is endowed with two fatal at- tractions: strategic location and natural wealth. Situated on the shores of the Baltic midway between Berlin and Moscow. Lithu- .ania is a rich land of farms, forests, and lakes-more than 2,000 of them r under- stand. The very first mention of Lithuania in recorded history-made by Tacitus, the famous Roman historian-was in praise of Lithuanian IOrpiing. The fertile soil, the timber; the outlet on the Baltic--each was by Itself treasure enough to motivate for- eiaggression against Lithuania. primary perpetrator of such aggres- sion has always been and remains today just one country: Russia. Long before the Lithu- Anlan tribes were forged Into one nation the country was struggling against domination by Its Russian neighbors from the east. Finally in the 14th century the people of Lithuania began' to turn back these early waves of aggression, wave's which were but an ominous warning of later tides to come. By the end of the 14th century, Lithuania had driven the Russians back to Moscow and had secured for Itself the power necessary to protect its territories and traditions. Fol- lowing the dynastic union With Poland, the = Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a marvelous and mighty state stretching from the Baltic tea In the north to the Black Sea in the mouth. Within these boundaries the old and rich culture of the Lithuanian people at- tained brilliant heights, heights which it would attain again only after similar suffer- ing and struggle. This comparative calm, this peaceful prosperity lasted little more than a century. By 1500 the Russian tide had ebbed and loving peoples of Lithuanian ancestry have was now again sweeping back across the contributed so much to our own national northern and central plains of Europe. For experience and have given so tirelessly of 40 of the 90 years between 1492 and 1582 themselves to the communities In which they Lithuania found Itself at war with the Mus- live. It lives on in the richness and variety of the oldest living European language. It continues to live through the darkness of Soviet oppression keeping a prayerful vigil at the ramparts of national destiny sustain- ing the light of liberty which must never be extinguished and which will once again burn brightly to herald the arrival of a new dawn of freedom for Lithuania. Only then, will the oppressive "tides of tyranny" be turned back forever. Observance of 45th Anniversary of Lithuania's Independence EXTENSION OF REMARKS HON. NEIL STABLER OF MICHIGAN IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, February 14, 1963 Mr. STAEBLER. Mr. Speaker, Sun- day, February 17, 1 had the pleasure of addressing a rally of Lithuanians of the Detroit area, and also had the high honor of speaking along with Juliaus Smetonos, the son of the first and only President of the Republic of Lithuania. This heroic country, swallowed by Russia In 1940 and forced to exist under Communist rule, has many patriots throughout the world struggling to again some day see their homeland free. I would like to have printed in the RECORD a copy of the resolution adopted Sunday, on observance of the 45th anni- versary of Lithuania's independence; a proclamation by Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh designating February 16 as Republic of Lithuania Day, and a proc- lamation by the Governor of Michigan, as follows: RESOLUTION Whereas on February 16, 1918, the Lithu- anian nation freed itself from Tsarist Russia domination and proclaimed Its independence as a free democratic republic which was ulti- mately recognized by all of the great powers of the world; and Whereas during its 22 years of freedom and independence from 1918 to 1940, Lithuania proved Itself as a free and independent nation, and Whereas in spite of agreements to the con- trary, the Soviet Union forcibly incorporated Lithuania Into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, thereby depriving the Lithuanian people of their basic human rights and pri- vate property; deported those who opposed the sovietization of their homeland and con- tinue the enslavement of Lithuania and the exploitation of its people to this very day: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we hereby rededicate our- selves to the cause of liberating Lithuania from the yoke of communism so that she may once again rejoin the family of free nations; and be it further Resolved, That we express our sincerest gratitude to the Administration and Con- gress of the United States of America for the continued nonrecognition of the Incorpora- tion of the Baltic States Into the Soviet Union and for the numerous contributions to, and sympathy for, the cause of Lithu- ania's never-ending battle to regain its free- dom and independence; and be it further Resolved, That we petition the President and Secretary of State of the United States of America to direct the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to confront the members of that august body with the facts regard- Ing the Soviet colonization of Estonia, Lat- Approved For Release 2004/06/23 : CIA-RDP65B00383R000200230055-7 covlte aggressors. The czars *alleged that Russia desired only an outlet on the Baltic Sea; however, after Peter the Great had taken Riga from Sweden and had built his own window on the Baltic at St. Petersburg. the Russian rulers allowed that their appe- tite for aggression was far from satisfied. In 1795 this aggression' came quickly and brutally to the surface: the shameful third partition of Poland also became the fateful third of our many tides of tyranny, tyranny which was to now completely engulf Lithu- ania and enslave Its people for 123 years. Not that the people of Lithuania willingly or weakly succumbed to such oppression. Throughout the course of their long history they have fought fiercely to overthrow the repressive rule of the ruthless Russian czars. In 1812 Lithuania experienced a mere mo- ment of relative freedom as Napoleon ad- vanced against Moscow. The fate of that historic campaign has been recorded with stark simplicity upon a monument which still stands In Vilnius. On one side the in- scription reads "Napoleon Bonaparte passed this way in 1812 with 400.000 men"; on the other side it continues "Napoleon Bonaparte passed his way in 1812 with 9,000 men." But within 20 years of that setback the winds of freedom were again attempting to sweep back the tides of oppression. In that year of 1831 Lithuanians lent active aid to Poland in a revolution against the heavy hand of Russian reaction and only the brute force of 150.000 Russian troops was capable of quell- ing their spirited struggle. Thereafter op- pression was Increased and Intensified: Lith- uanian lands were confiscated and then delivered into the hands of Russian nobles. the University of Vilnius closed, and finally Russians were everywhere designated to con- trol the government, the army and the church. When revolution erupted for a third time in 1883-04, the czar finally realized that mili- tary might had failed to conquer Lithuania's resistance. Suppressions, hangings, exiles to Siberia, czarist brutality failed to quell the indomitable love of freedom and self-deter- mination of the gallant Lithuanian peoples. World War I and the Russian revolution furnished the long-sought opportunity for which generations had been striving with such courage and fortitude. With the Proc- lamation of Independence at Vilnius on February 16, 1918, and the treaty of peace of July 12, 1920, which accorded full recog- nition as an Independent state, Lithuania reemerged to take her rightful place among the free nations of the world. During her short-lived independence the country grew, prospered, and left an indelible influence for good upon the onrushing course of world events. Her domestic econ- omy and foreign trade expanded mightily. Long-needed social services were Instituted, her cultural life thrived under peaceful sur- roundings. Education once again became a reality for her people and agriculture her principal Industry greatly benefited. But Lithuanian freedom was tragically shortlived. For in June of 1940 the armies of Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany flag- rantly violated the canons of international law and the rights of man and brutally sub- jected the Lithuanian people to a tyranny as cold-blooded and remorseless as any act of aggression committed In this century of total war. The tragic events that followed are too well known ever to be forgotten. The soul of a proud and great nation lives on beneath the brutal yoke of Soviet tyr- anny. It lives In the hearts of Lithuanian countrymen who cling to the motherland in the face of Communist enslavement. It lives (UNESCO) has published a booklet written by two Russians and which denounces "co- lonial oppression" and describes the Soviet Union, as a "brotherhood of free and equal peoples." (At the moment, Russia is notori- osly persecuting Jews.) The United States pays one-third of UNESCO's budget. When the U.N. was founded the United States agreed to pick up a large share of its expenses because the United States was com- paratively wealthy and unscarred by World War II as so many other nations were, And the U.N. was born out of an American ideal, peace with justice. But it was never contemplated by Amer- icans that they would be used to finance ac- tivities that are directly counter to America's best interests and foreign policies. The United States may not always be able to have its way on U.N. policies, but it certainly should not feel obliged to finance specific anti-American policies. If the United States continues to support the U.N. Special Fund after the defiance of U.S. views on Cuba, Congress would well be justified in cutting off any funds for the Special Fund. No other nation in the world would go on supporting a group that so blatantly and cynically ignored its, views. (Russia, for example, refused to support the U.N. action in the Congo.) The incident also is an indication that other nations do not take seriously Amer- ica's view on Cuba. It's time to impress them differently. The United States must get back to the militant attitude on Cuba it exhibited last October. What, for example, does Rusk propose to do to back up his de- mand that Russian troops get out of Cuba? America awaits a White House answer on this and the U.N. Special Fund. The Great Bay State EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JAMES A. BURKE OF MASSACHUSETTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, January 28, 1963 -Mr. BURKE. Mr. Speaker, both on the National and the State level we hear repeatedly that the proper amount of promotion in the field of tourism can be a tremendous boost to our economy. We in the Federal Government are extremely happy at the emphasis this- administra- tion is placing in the U.S. Travel Serv- ice's drive to bring visitors to this country. For a long time there was a tendency at all levels of government to treat tourism as sort of a stepchild. I was happy recently, along with other Member of Congress to visit the' Travel America" Auto Show at the District ,of Columbia Armory and to see there the exhibits of a number of States promot- ing' the attractions of their particular areas. I was especially proud to see the outstanding exhibit of my own Common- wealth of Massachusetts. This exhibit arranged by the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Commerce, and staffed by a tal- ented group, including a very lovely young lady, Miss Gayle Pope, who is "Miss Massachusetts." I commend the mem- bers of the Bay State delegation and both the House and the Senate for the cooperation they gave to the Common- wealth in connection with this show. I was also happy to note that the Gov- ernor of Massachusetts, Endicott Pea- body, took time from a busy schedule in Washington to appear at the show. More promotions of this nature will -mean more visitors for the various States with the end result that the entire econ- omy will benefit. As a son of Massa- chusetts, I want to state I was very proud of all the participants in this exhibit. (11'ding the Enemy EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. H. R. GROSS OF IOWA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, I wish it were possible for all Americans to read. the editorial pages of the Washington Evening Star of last Friday, February 15. Appearing on those pages are three ex- cellent commentaries-a Star editorial and columns by William S. White and David Lawrence-on the Cuban aid proj- ect of the United Nations Special Fund and the pro-Communist booklet issued by the United Nations Educational, Sci- entific, and Cultural Organization. Few Americans, I am sure, will be fooled by President Kennedy's feeble ar- gument that U.S. dollars will not be used in the Cuban aid deal. The Special Fund gets 40 percent of its money from the United States. All contributions go into one pot, and to argue that our money will not be used is like saying that you can pour cream from the top of a bottle of homogenized milk. Following are the Star editorial and the. columns by Mr. White and, Mr. Lawrence: It's been a long time since we've read any- thing feebler than the disclaimers by the President and by Paul G. Hoffman with re- spect to the United Nations project to bol- ster Fidel Castro's Communist Cuba. Mr. Kennedy brushed off the matter by telling his news conference that no U.S. dol- lars axe going to Cuba, which is an equivoca- tion. Mr. Hoffman, Managing Director of the 'U.N. Special Fund, said the same thing, and added that maybe Castro won't benefit in the long run. Maybe not. But the undeniable fact is that the Special Fund, which gets 40 percent of its money from the United States, pro- poses to put up $1,157,600 to be spent through the U.N. Food and Agricultural Or- ganization to help Cuba's farm economy. This isn't much money as things go these days. But it still is more than $1 million, and to say they are not American dollars is to quibble about a bookkeeping transaction. As long as the United States puts up 40 per- cent of the Special Fund money it contrib- utes indirectly to the U.N. Cuban invest- ment-an investment which Mr. Hoffman has authorized on a trial basis deepite re- ported strenuous objections from the State Department. Meanwhile, it is disclosed that another V.N. organization, UNESCO, which gets 31.46 percent of its funds from the State Depart- ment, put up the money last year to pay for publication of a Russian-written brochure which denounces "colonialist oppression" by the Western nations and praises the Soviet Approved For Release 2004/06/23: CIA-RDP65B00383RU002002 IN TEE HOUSE OP.

Our Popular Pastime EXTENSION OF REMARKS HON. JOHN B. ANDERSON Or ILLINOIS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 17, 1963 Mr. ANDERSON. Mr. Speaker, I be- lieve that I have previously called the attention of the Members of the House to the unusual amount of criticism that is csrrently being heaped upon the heads of Members of Congress. Some of this criticism is warranted. Unfor- tunately, some of the criticism seems to stem from a basic lack of appreciation for our system of government with its built-in checks and balances. We live in a streamlined age; perhaps, there- fore, it is only natural that some people believe that our present system of con- stitutional government should - be streamlined in order to qualify for the -apace age. It is my belief that there is a far more basic reason than a simple veneration for tradition that bids us go slowly in changing the basic structure of o it Government. As I have already indicated, this Is not to imply that all criticism of Congressmen is merely cap- tious or fanciful. I believe personally that in the area of conflict of interest and also in the area of dealing with budgetary matters that some genuine re- forms are needed. However, I am just as prepared to firmly defend the role of Congress as one of the three great coordinate branches of our Federal Gov- ernment. Also, I must confess to some consider- able impatience with those who would condemn all Congressmen because of the faults of a few. Therefore. when I read the following editorial by Mr. Ken Smith, the very capable editor of the Rochelle New Leader, I was immensely reassured. The writer demonstrates, I think, the kind of rational and measured app:.reciation of the problems of Con- gress that are all too lacking in some of the current commentary. Therefore, I take pride in commanding the follow- ing editorial entitled, "Our Popular Pastime" to my colleagues in the House of Representatives: Ova POPULAR PASTIME Criticism of Congress has been a favorite American pastime almost from the time it no matter how bad, Is better than none at all. Most of the responsible criticism of Con- gress springs from the extremely slow pace at which it moves, the almost constant necessity to compromise, the jealousies that frequently exist, the continual jockeying for political advantage and strict adherence to the seniority rule in committee chairman- ships. All of these complaints have been valid at one time or another but have made little long-range impression on Congress. The House and Senate still follow with little change the rules and traditions that were acquired during the first 100 years of the Republic. One of the first requirements for being a Congressman is a thick skin for Congress is nearly in a position where it is criticized regardless of what it does. If Congress quickly puts through a pro- gram of legislation asked by the administra- tion it is a rubber stamp Congress. If it fails to do so it is an obstructionist Congress. If it passes too many new bits of legislation it Is a busybody; if the number of bills passed is small It Is a do-nothing Congress. If the Members spend considerable time on junkets or with the folks back home they are criticized for not tending to their busi- ness of law making. If they stay in Wash- ington too long they are accused of being out of touch with the folks back home. If they too closely follow the wishes of the people of their district they are being provin- cial and neglecting the general interest of their country. If they do not reflect the sentiments of their constituents they are taken to task for flaunting the will of the voters. If they try to get all the advantages they can for their district they are pork barrelers but if they don't get them they most likely will cease to be Congressmen. If they adhere strictly to the political party line they are party hacks but if they don't they are political mavericks. If they yield to any pressure group they are called the captives of the lobbyists but if they oppose legislation in which a strong pressure group is interested they are branded as an enemy of the group and a foe to progress. If they are free with Government funds they are spendthrifts but if they try to keep spending In check they are accused of put- ting property rights above human rights. If they spend a lot of time debating a bill they are called a bunch of windbags but if they push legislation through with little or no debate they are accused of using steam- roller tactics. The 88th Congress, now In session, will be subjedt to all the usual criticisms and few people-least of all the Congressmen-will be especially concerned. When this country adopted a representa- tive form of government under a written constitution it was not seeking the most efficient type of rule but rather the type that would be most responsible to the people. By its very nature Congress is and ought to be a cross section of all the people of the united States. Senators will nearly always reflect the attitudes of their States and Rep- resentatives will mirror the people of their district. There may be times when we think Con- gress should speak with one voice and reflect the national Interest rather than the inter- est of the part of It they represent. But until the people want to speak in-one voice and submerge their own interests and desires to those of the common good there will be no unanimity in Congress.

GLENN CUNNINGHAM OF NEBRASKA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call the attention of the House to an excellent editorial which appeared in the Omaha Evening World- Herald of February 6. The editorial dis- cusses the Canadian debacle and identi- fies it as one of a series of unfortunate events: TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE This Nation's intervention in Canada's defense policy might properly be set down as a textbook example of how not to conduct Approved For Release 2004/06/23 : CIA-RDP65B00383R000200230055-7 A760 FoC Sgq 2 .P6 N W0200230055-7February 18 As columnist Arthur Krock has pointed out, the diplomatic note which the United states sent was cleared by the White House and was tied directly to the President. It. therefore, cannot be dismissed as a blunder by underlings, which is the -usual way of excusing a top executive. The wording was so blunt that It incited a hostile reaction throughout Canada. It came at a time when Canada's political parties were conducting their own great de- bate on defense and their relations with NATO and the United States. And it probably will lead, not only to the fall of the present Canadian Government of Mr. Dlefenbaker, but also to total failure of the plan to place nuclear weapons in Canadian bases. Nuclear warheads are considered by com- petent authorities to be essential to the de- fense of North America. The Canadians have recognized the obligation in principle. but have? dragged their feet on actually putting nuclear warheads on the intercep- tors and bombers and missiles which guard the DEW line early warning system and the axone approaches to this hemisphere. As Gen. Curtis LeMay said the other day. there is a close and warm relationship be- tween Canadian and United States military men and no lack of understanding on basic ls9ues, so far as they are concerned. The lack of understanding has arisen among the political leaders of the two na- tions, In thin situation, a 'United States re- minder of Canada's nuclear obligation cer- tainly would have been proper even at the risk of straining otherwise friendly relations.

Much of the land has been allotted to Russians why hive begn set led on. Lithuanian terrific y. The situation is grim and aP- pears hopeless. But recent 'refugees bring word that the people continue to Strive for democratic privileges and, above all, for independence. Lithuania has existed as a modern na- tion in this century. Czarist Russia had claimed the land as part of its empire since the 18th century, but the Lithua- nian nationals established their own government and declared themselves free and sovereign from Russian rule on February 16. 1918. It is this act on that day which we commemorate as the 45th anniversary of the declaration of inde- pendence. Lithuanian nationals scattered throughout the world keep alive the spirit of freedom for their homeland. They remember that those who re- mained under the oppressive Communist rule once enjoyed rights as freemen. The U.S. Government has refused to rec- ognize the Communist takeover; it has continued to bolster the morale of the people through Voice of America broad- casts. All of us, then, must do our part to iceep alive the spirit of freedom. We call attention to their declaration of inde- pendence, their symbol of liberty, and extend to the Lithuanian people the hope that their nation may once more be- come a part of the world community, free and sovereign. Therefore, I salute the Indomitable spirit displayed by these courageous people and their unyielding refusal to submit to the oppression of to- talitarianism. Lithuania will always ex- ist as a nation In the minds and hearts of people who recognize the dignity and inherent rights of man. More Administration Doubletalk EXTENSION OF REMARKS HON. BRUCE ALGER O7 TEXAS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 Mr. A1:ER. IvSpeaker, the record of the Kennedy a nistratio'h continues to be orlQ'of confusion misinformation, and doubletalk. For whatever reason the administration cannot develop clear and forthright policies, the result is that we are courting disaster both at home and abroad. Our people are confused, our allies are beginning to mistrust us, and our enemies may well miscalculate our true intentions and push the button for world war M. The President should assume the full responsibility of his office which means making meaning- ful decisions and standing by them. Our almost total lack of an effective foreign policy is shown in the debacle of Cuba, o,Ir shameful loss in Laos, the continu- ing war in Vietnam where American boys are dying. On the domestic front the "Indecisiveness of the President is ere- ating one of the worst strike records of recent years, business is being hurt by the proposals and counterproposals and proposals to overturn proposals In the 'tax field, and the administration con- tinues to flounder from one crisis to another. To point up the results of t1 lskirid of leadership I would like to include' as a part of these remarks two editorials from the Wall Street Journal: A FRIGHT FOE FRIENDS To no one's great surprise, the end of America's international payments deficit Is glimmering ever farther away. Balance was supposed to be restored late this year, but now Treasury Secretary Dillon says it may not come until 1964 or 1965. At the rate the Government is going, that could be unduly optimistic. Last year the deficit was cut only $500 million from?$2.5 billion In 1981. And Washington officials appear to be empty of useful ideas for getting out of this hole. Mr. Dillon evidently plans to go on doing what he has been doing-make some effort to reduce military spending broad. sell more U.S. weapons to allies, require more foreign- aid dollars to be spent in this country. None of this Is enough; none of it gets to the root of the matter. So far the Government has also been hoping that the Europeans would continue to cooperate and not do anything to aggra- vate the deficit. This hope looks consid- erably less impressive than it did a few weeks ago, with the Western alliance now in such a disheveled state. If De Gaule wanted to give a further demonstration of his anti- Americanism, he could put quite a dent in what's left of our gold stock. Even if he has no such plans, this is an extremely poor time to be weakening confidence in the dol- lar, which is bound to be the consequence of letting the deficit and gold outflow go on almost unchecked. Meantime, the only new suggestions being heard fall far short of the mark. George Mitchell, President Kennedy's sole appointee to the Federal Reserve Board, rightly ex- presses concern about the failure of the pay- ments situation to improve enough to show the world our determination to correct It. Mr. Mitchell's ideas of correctives are two new steps. One Is a special tax Incentive for V .S. exporters designed to lower the cost of American goods abroad; yet exports are the brightest part of the payments picture. The other is a special tax on movements of U.S. capital to Europe, aimed at trying to dis- courage European borrowing here; yet the return from U.S. investments exceeds the outflow. This second proposal, Mr. Mitchell insists, would not be an outright curb on the ex- change of U.S. dollars into European cur- rencies. All the same, it seems clearly head- ed in the direction of exchange controls, something the Government has opposed until now. Exchange controls would Indeed be an ad- mission of defeat. Moreover, such inter- ference with capital movements would prob- ably give everybody such a scare that it would worsen the whole payments conditioq. That, though, is the kind of fix govern- ments get into when they refuse to apply real remedies to their policies. A govern- ment, for example, will inflate the money supply for political or other purposes; then, when the Inflation is getting out of hand it will slap on wage-price controls in a futile attempt to deal with symptoms. In the same simple-minded way, the time may come when exchange controls are presented as the cure of the payments sickness. What urgsntly needs serious analysis and fundamental correction is the Government's entire monetary and fiscal policy at home v and abroad. No matter how much the Gov- ernment tried to blame others for the pay- ments deficit, the fact is that if you re- move Government from the calculation, there would be a payments surplus on commercial export and investment accounts.

To quality as a certified tree farm, forest land must be operated according to rules which apply over all the United States. This pro- gram was started by the Government In 1941. The American tree farm is similar in many ways to the tree farms [small woodland) in Denmark, Finland, _ Prance, Germany, Nor- way, end Sweden. The main difference is that the Governments in these countries have laws which apply to both public and private land In regard to forest management. In the United $tates private forest landown- ern have banded ether under an organi- zation known, as She National Tree Farms. and have established rules pertaining to good forest `practices as well as rules regarding Are, disease, and Insect control.

The Forest Service maintains many good gravel roads in the national forests. Along these roads, forest camps and picnic grounds are established and maintained for the pub- lic's use. These camps contain outdoor fire- placer, picnic tables, sanitary facilities, and garbage disposal units. A supply of wood is usually provided, also. From many of these campsites good trails which the Government constructed and maintained lead to lakes or scenic spots. A city dweller can transport his whole family within a few hours to these forest campgrounds. This is the reasod that sev- eral million people visit our forest camps in our national forests annually. Most of these people assume that these forest camps are wilderness areas because they may be lo- cated 50 miles within the border of the national forest. The wilderness area under the wilderness bill means primitive area. They contain no roads and no established campgrounds. They can be entered only on foot or with a paClflorsr "Only those who are physically strong and can carry a pack on their back to supply their needs-usually 90 pounds or more-can use this area.

MICHEL or ILLINOIS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 Mr. MICHEL. Mr. Speaker, there seems to be an increasing interest in the Nation's press about the current activi- ties of the Rural Electrification Admin- istration and its tendencies to go beyond the role set out for the agency in the Rural Electrification Act. The Wall Street Journal is the latest to express its concern editorially on Tuesday, Febru- ary 12, 1963. This editorial calls REA the Deadly Competitor. There does, however, appear to be a typographical error In the third para- graph of the Wall Street Journal edi- torial where it refers to "16 percent" of its loans are going to build new generat- ing and transmission lilies. The year- end statement put out recently by REA pointed out that "for the second straight year, generation and transmission loans accounted for more than half-55.5 per- cent in 1962-of the total loans ap- proved." Notwithstanding this typographical error, I think the editorial is worthwhile reading for every Member of this Cham- ber as an indication of this growing problem. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert this state- ment of editorial opinion of the Wall Street Journal in the CONGRESSIONAL REcoan. TI'S DEADLY COMPETITOR The act of 1936 setting up the Rural Elec- trification Administration authorized the agency to make loans for furnishing elec- tricity to "persons in rural areas." How is it, then, that in the last few years five out of six new REA co-op customers haven't been truly rural at all, but commercial, Industrial and nonrural residential? For one thing. REA activities reflect the changing character of the Nation; farms are fewer, suburbs have sprawled out from the cities into once-rural lands. And REA Ad- ministrator Norman Clapp contends that a territory developed by a co-op "in good faith" when it was rural still is co-op territory even though today it may be a vast suburban or Industrial complex. For another, as Hubert Kay notes in an article In the February Fortune magazine, the REA's co-ops have become Increasingly aggressive in going after commercial-indus- trial business. So much so that whereas it once used only 2.5 percent of its loans to build new generating plants and transmis- sion lines it now uses over 16 percent. The REA system's rapid growthas apower-pro- ducer has further alarmed already skittish investor-owned power companies which see in REA an ever-expanding power grid with which they cannot forever compete. For the private utilities pay from 4 to 5 percent for money they need to borrow; the co-ops have the use of Federal funds at 2 percent which the Government borrows at 4 percent. Utilities pay out about 24 cents in taxes of each dollar received, Including 13 cents in Federal income tax; co-ops pay no direct Federal taxes at all and, as co-ops, Approved For Release 2004/06/23 : -CIA-RDP65B004?3R000200230055-7 190, Approv / R P 8000200230055-7 itor'lal Call or,a complete factual report pressman ROBERT H.

In a speech to an Illinois State Cham- ber of Commerce meeting, Representative MICHEL, observed that although the adminis- tration claims credit for substantially boost- ing farm income, reducing surpluses, and cutting farm program costs to taxpayers, the President maintains that feed grains, dairy products, and cotton are in trouble and must be rescued by more subsidies. -- Well, if this appea':s inconsistent and con- tradictory, consider what the President is up against. He has taken it upon himself to defend a farm program under which the government pays farmers for not growing crops, while at the same time raising sub- sides and paying for conservation practices that encourage them to grow crops. - It buys crops to keep prices high, then sells them to depress prices. It tries to promote exports to reduce the surpluses, then sets prices too high to sell them. It reclaims new land for ag -cultural produc- tion under one program and retires land under another. The President, in other words, is attempt- ing to defend a program that is costly un- workable, and Indefensible. Planned Deficit EXTENSION OF REMARKS . HON. CHARLES B. HOEVEN OF. IOWA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 7r. HO>;VEN. Mr Speaker, I would like to call the attention of the House to An excellent editorial which appeared in' the Des Moines Register of February 7. This article, a reprint from the Wall Street Journal, poses some questions about the so-called "planned deficit" theory of Government financing. the editoriaffollows: WALL STREET JOURNAL WRITER DEBUNXS 1VIr. C'QI~E, Mr, Speaker, 'di -t' n- In arguing for its tax program the Ken- separate the Idea of tax cuts from the thought df the deficits which would accom- pRliy them. _ , It says present taxes are burdensome and should be reduced, which is probably true, but it doesn't any longer claim, as it once did, that deficits themselves would stimulate business. .Nevertheless, the two ideas can't very well be separated, especially when the Govern- ment continues to insist that its spending Should not be out. Among some economists, the idea that governmental deficits are stim- ulants for business is still very much alive. IT REMAINS UNPROVEN Yet this claim remains unproven. Appar- ently it stems from the experiences of great wars, when business operates at capacity, accompanied by large deficits. However, at such times the Government invades the commercial markets with over- whelmingly enormous demands for goods and services in competition with normal needs-all for the waste of war and regard- less of costs. To see how, deficits work in peacetime it is more useful to analyze the results dur- ing substantial periods of years, both here and in other countries. THE TWO PERIODS Two such periods were the years 1932 to 1940 inclusive, and 1949 to 1962, inclusive. In addition, figures are easily available for some European countries for the 1950's. There were Federal Government deficits in every one of the 9 years 1932-40. In rela- tion to the then economic size of the Nation, they were quite large, ranging from just under $2 billion- to more than $4 billion, figures which even today are regarded as substantial. In relation to gross national production (GNP) the deficits ranged from 1.3 percent to 5.5 percent, and the average was just slightly less than 4 percent. In spite of these substantial deficits, unemployment in those, years ranged from 14.3 percent of the labor force to 24.9 percent, and averaged about 19 percent. FOUR SURPLUSES, 10 DEFICITS In the 14 years 1949-62 there were 4 surpluses and 10 deficits. The net total of the deficits and surpluses, matched up against the total of the gross national pro- duction figures for all 14 years, shows an average deficit of 0.7 percent of GNP. In spite of this much smaller relative deficit than in the 1930's the rate of unem- ployment was far less and remains far less. The range of unemployment was from 2.9 percent of the labor force in the best year. to 6.8 percent in the poorest, and the average was 5 percent. The comparison is a fair one because in the 1930's the deficits, except for a couple of the early ones, were purposeful. The late Presi- dent Roosevelt publicly proclaimed that it is today's deficit which generates tomorrow's surplus. He meant that deficits would so stimulate business that pretty soon tax col- lections would rise enough to cover Govern- ment spending. It didn't happen that way. _ EUROPEkN E7 SPERIENCE Tl e recent experience, of several European. nations is also useful. One reason is that their economic growth in recent years has been more rapid than ours. The other is that some of the current advice to us, that we should run big deficits in order to copy their growth rates, comes from over there. The following comparisons start with the year 1953 because since then the countries cited have benefited only very slightly from foreign aid, nialily in the earlier years of the period. The period covered ends with 1961 because complete figures aren't available for 1962.

Mao governmental deficits are not meas- ured In this case by matching revenues against expenditures, but by how much the outstanding debts rose. This avoids the problem of making sure the various nations use the same accounting. methods, Starting with the Vnite$ States for a basis of comparison, the increase In debt from 1953 through 1961 amounted to only 0.4 percent of gross nattonaI~ roduction.

In the case of France, the Increase In debt for the period Is 1.7 percent of gross na- tional output: and the gain 'in industrial production is from 66 to 122, or 85 percent. The deficits have been relatively larger than ours and the industrial growth much faster. v-hicl `seems to support the backers of deS- vits. tN ITALY, GERMANY However, in Italy we find the debt rising on3y L3 percent of gross national product and fadustrial production a fun 100 percent, from 70 to 140.

It is amusing to note how the flue of argument can be twisted In two dif- ferent ways to arrive at precisely opposing conclusions. The widest annual gain in the FI'ench production Index for the whole pfr'iod took place from 1959 to I960. That wks also the year In which the French Gov- irnfneliVa' debt showed Its smallest increase for `the whole period. ROW rr'GAN CE ARGUED On the basis of these figures it would be possible to argue, In the style of the late - esidenQefveIt~othat It was the deficits tR `idle pr -ding years which had generated the near surplus oTi980 `'nut It would also be possible to aijue the opposite-that the ant `ffnances of 1980 were ern sounder Oov " *hat` SEftAltla usfness. The real truth, within limits, Is probably t .W business activity has more to do with ing clovernment finances than the p way around. That is, it's difficult to balance the, budget in depressions, and It ought to be easy when business is good. Beyond that, the various sets of figures cited, above Suggest that economic theories regarding what can be accomplished' by _by planned deflects approach the nonsensical.

The editorial follows:. , M.- M - Couser in CUBA Otte Inspection In Cuba to verify dis- t ntiing of the Soviet missile bases and withdrawal of the missiles was the big issue last October at the height of the Cuban war crisis. President Kennedy at that time in- sisted on such inspection by the United Na-. tions, in order to be certain that the Rus- slRtis, Who bad lied about everything else, actually pulled out their missiles. Now, se-W. Kennedy conceded at his re- cent press conference, onsite inspection is "a dead letter." "There has been none," said the President "and I don't expect to get any." What the United States must rely on as a wsubetitute, he added, is aerial photography. The administration bases its belief that all of the offensive Russian weapons systems have been withdrawn on photographic evi- dence. The only way to remove all doubt, John McCone of the Central Intelligence Agency told the Senate, is by inspection of Cuba's network of underground caverns and hidden storage areas. But Fidel Castro, as Mr. Ken- nedy said, is not aboutto grant the United States such permission. Last October 27. in an exchange of letters with Premier Khrushchev, Mr. Kennedy gave tisa Impression. that the Russian had agreed to U.N. inspection of his missile withdrawal. "An.. L read your letter," Mr. Kennedy wrote Khm:hchev, "the Soviets had agreed to U.N. supervision of the m asile pullout.- The PresidentIn his communication chose, however. to ignore other aspects of the JUuushchev letter. Khrushchev hedged his U.N. on-site Inspection pledge by calling for Castro's approval He also proposed withdrawal of American missiles from Tur- key, a condition that the President ignored, although he has since orderedtheir removal. On-site Inspection has gradually dribbled into the diplomatic background and finally dropped out of sight, forgotten by all except critics of` Mr. 'Xinnedy's actions. p failed to uncover the'aafrivslain Cube, It Cuba of Khrushchev's extensive missile system.

Farmers Manage Half of Private Business in the United States EXTENSION OF REMARKS or HON. ODIN LANGEN nice to share them w1tll_,MX cpileagues. These statistics appeared in the February 15, 1963, edition of The Washington World. The article follows : FARMERS MANAGE HALF OP PRIVATE BUSINESS IN THE UNrrm STATES Farmers manage half of all the private business In the United States according to a recent estimate by a noted food economist. Dr. Karl Brandt, of Stanford University, says that farmers' assets nearly equal the value of all stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Gross Income for farmers in 1961 was $49 billion-nearly as much as the whole U.S. defense budget. Petroleum Today magazine adds that 4 of every 10 jobs in American private enter- prise are, in some way, related to agriculture. Every farmer keeps 2.5 men busy In town, 1 to supply him and 11/2 to process, dis- tribute, and sell his products. Farmers use four times as much mechan- ical horsepower as all U.S. factories put together. Farmers use more petroleum products than any other industry and utilize more electric- ity than Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, Houston. and half a dozen other major cities combined. Address of Hon.

THOMAS B. CURTIS OF MISSOURI IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mondsay, February 18, 1963 Mr. CURTIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call the attention of the House to an excellent editorial which appeared in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of Janu- ary 28, 1963. This editorial points out that the "victory" purportedly scored in Cuba has now been wiped out by re- mounting of a Soviet armed camp atmosphere in Castroland. The article is as follows: WIIEaz IS OUR VICTORY NOW? President Kennedy has denied that a new Soviet military buildup is under way In Cuba. He thus contradicts Senators KEAT- rara and LAuscHE, a number of columnists and Cuban exile leaders. Yet it was much the same sources that warned a deaf America for weeks and months that Russian rockets were pouring into Cuba. Kennedy and his administration sloughed off the reports then as they are doing now. Is the President wrong again? After hearing Secretary of State Rusk on Friday at, a closed meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator AIKEN of Vermont said he believed, "Russia has built an enormously strong' military and political" base "fn Cuba, much stronger than it was 6 months ago", Approved For Release 2004/06/23 : CIA-RDP65B00383R000200230055-7 rented more than 27,000 school medal awards, in recognition of outstanding schol- arship combined with outstanding Citizen- ship. During 1961, the latest year for which complete figures are available, American Le- gion posts sponsored 4,199 Boy Scout units, making the Legion the largest single sponsor of the Boy Scout movement outside the com- bined churches of America. We distributed nearly 100,000 copies of "Need a Lift?", our guide to scholarship op- portunities which is designed to help de- serving young people further their education. ' Through our child welfare programs we seek to preserve the sanctity of the home, and to help build strong bodies to house strong minds. Yes, my friends, we have accomplished a great deal through the years, but we cannot relax our efforts for a great deal remains to be done. If we should rest on our oars at this critical hour in the Nation's history, we would soon find ourselves swept to destruc- tion by the powerful tides of corruption and subversion which we now seek to combat. To safeguard this America of ours for to- day and for tomorrow is going to require the continued best efforts of the Nation's law-enforcement officers, of the American Legion, and of all concerned Americans. The battle will not be an easy one, but the vic- tor'y will be worth the efforrt, and I am con- fident that the ultimate victory will be ours.

WINS No doubt mistakes of tactics and even of taste have been made recently over the han- diingof Cuba, Canada, Britain, and Prance, but in the broadest sense, the President is In trouble now, not because his major for- rign policies have failed but because they are succeeding. Prance and Canada are not refusing to accept V.B. nuclear weapons because they feel that A"enned'y has weakened the West, but precisely because they think the West is relatively so strong that they can now follow a more independent policy and risk division within the alliance. The unity that existed behind the Presi- dent when he risked war to get the Soviet missiles out of Cuba has vanished, not be- cause be failed to get the missiles and bombers out, but precisely because he got them out and Is now safe to turn around and argue about the secondary issue of the Soviet troops. Britain did not refuse to accept De Gaulle's terms for entrance into the Common Mar- ket because of any weakness In Washington, but precisely because It preferred to go along with the United States and the Atlantic Oommmunity rather than with De Gaulle and an Inward-looking Europe. The paradox of the present situation is that everything in the cold war remains about the same as it was at the beginning of the year, yet everything seems different. De Gaulle was refusing to cooperate with Washington and London on the defense and organization of Europe long before his fa- mous press conference. He has since empha- sized and formalized his opposition, but the opposition was there before. Much the same can be said about Canada. Prime Minister Diefenbaker was refusing to accept the United Stales nuclear warheads long before the State Department stumbled clumsily into an internal Canadian squab- ble; the only new thing is that he has now made an election issue out of Washington's awkward efforts to clarify the facts. This does not mean ,that formalizing the differences doesn't clitange anything. As Deal! Acheson says, a married couple may separate in private but `it makes a differ- ence if t ey start fighting in public and head for Reno. The question now Is whether the Kennedy e ininlatration could, have done anything to avoid the split with De Gaulle, the fight with judges De Gaulle's intentions, and all this is fair enough. But the thing has to be kept in perspec- tive. For the conflict with a nation's ene- mies Is more important than the quarrels with its allies, and on balance, the conflict with the Communists is not going too badly. None of the apocalyptic horrors of the pessimists about Berlin, the Congo, or Viet- nam has transpired. None of Moscow's "in- evitable victories" in Africa, southeast Asia, or the Middle East has taken place. If De Gaulle is awkward for Kennedy, Mao Tse- tung is no obedient servant of Khrushchev. Meanwhile, fear in the Western Alliance has abated, and without fear a whole new set of problems has arisen, requiring new policies and new criticism. Yet the whole alliance is not falling apart and 17,000 Rus- sians are not about to conquer the Western Hemisphere. "We have to learn to live with these prob- lems in Cuba and elsewhere," the President has said. And this of course, Is precisely the difficulty. For the American people don't want to learn to live with their prob- lems or with the Russians, especially in Cuba. They want them to go away, all of them, a9 Immediately, if not sooner. r n a a Kiaky P ihcal Issue EXTENSION OF REMARKS or HON. GEORGE A.

The promise of breeder reactors is to in- crgase greatly the available fuel supply, mak- ing nuclear electric power more economic. Last November 28, Argonne National Lab- oratory achieved the first self-sustaining chain reaction using plutonium as a fuel in power producing. The 28.7 kilograms of plutonium fuel was more than 10 billion times the amount weighed at the University of Chicago two decades ago. Plutonium was used in space flight as the "atomic battery" to generate electricity aboard the navigational satellite,- Transit IV-A. Plutonium reactors are being looked to as the power source for distant space flights. "Little Giant" in House-Carl Bert Albert EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. ROBERT A. EVERETT OF TENNESSEE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, February 18, 1963 Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, we in Tennessee are very proud of our distin- guished majority leader, CARL BERT ALBERT. There appeared on Thursday, Febru- ary 14, in the Chattanooga Times, an outstanding newspaper not only of Ten- nessee but of the Nation as well, a won- derful article relative to our leader. It was so well written that I felt I should bring it to the attention of the Congress. The article follows: "LITTLE GIANT" IN HOUSE-CARL BERT ALBERT WASHINGTON.-CARL BERT ALBERT, the Dem- ocratic majority leader of the House of Rep- resentatives, is a quiet, scholarly legislator who seldom raises his voice in vigorous de- bate. But when he does sound off he packs a load of ammunition that commands the respect of all his colleagues regardless of party affiliation. For he is a Phi Beta Kappa honors winner, a Rhodes scholar with two advanced degrees, a self-taught linguist, a masterly grassroots politician, a tournament bridge player, a serious student of history and a product of a small cotton farm and coal mining background. Moreover, it is a common saying in the Con- gress that "nobody's mad at CARL"-a tribute from his fellow Representatives to the fact that he has few if any enemies. And the poli- ticians among them recognize that it's hard to beat a candidate with that kind of record. He comes from the, Little Dixie section of Oklahoma-the southeastern corner of the State, just north of Texas and west of Arkan- sas. There he is billed as "the little giant from Little Dixie," a reference to the fact that while he is only 5 feet, 4 inches tall, he has a big voice on the hustings and de- livers his speeches with a fiery and flamboy- ant style. ALBERT was born on May 10, 1908, one of five children of Ernest Homer Albert, a small cotton farmer and coal miner. He was born at McAlester but grew up on the cotton farm near a place then called Bug Tussle, Approved For F c ease 2004/0$/23: CIA-RDP6.5B00383R000200230055-7 742 Approved Fo ft"a fl kti3- P6J A but now known as Flow daund.

Now, I have a.request to masse. It's an unusual one, but I believe after you hear it, all of you will agree with me that it is rea- sonable, and makes a great deal of sense. I would like to ask that the swimming pool-this one right herealong side us-be drained. If not to the bottom, then down to two or three inches. Let me explain: I read a speech a few weeks ago, that was delivered to a group of advertising men, which not only scared me, but set me to thinking. Some of you might possibly have heard the speech, or read it in the papers. The talk was made by a man prominent in the automobile industry, and in it this -gentleman almost came to tears over the speed of automobiles and the glamorization of automobiles and their speed. He inti- mated, if intimated is strong enough a word, that fast care were unsafe, that last cars were largely responsible for automobile ac- cidents and fatalities, and that to glamorize a fast car was as dangerous as scattering ground glass In a kindergarten sand lot. Only passing mention was made of the generally accepted belief that the people who drive-cars-not the cars-are responsi- ble for the great majority of accidents. People were safe, bound and sensible, the speech implied, but not cars. Government regulation of cars. Government restriction on automobile manufacturers, were hinted at. More than hinted at. Well, if the speaker was right-and I am positive he was as wrong as smoking in church-then we must assume that all in- animate objects are dangerous and offer a diae_thxcet to life. drained, then made so shallow- that leap up and drown us. It is poesib3a-4f the man was right about cars---thy 1 Government will forbid pools that art 4 inches deep, and a manufacturer of hoots who glamorizes them will be punished. The Government might go so far as to order lakes drainer', river channels limited to a few feet In depth, wells and springs dried up and bathers allowed to enter the ocean 9niy dur- ing low tide. On the subject of safety, I believe I can say that few men in the country are more con- cerned with automobile safety than I. As a director of NASCAR racing activities in the United States, I suppose It Is believed that speed and more speed is our chief ob- jective. That Isn't true. We spend much more time on safety measures, building against accidents, than we do on speed. Frankly, we would be out of business with- out safety. in 1962 NASCAR sanctioned, assisted and kept complete records on more than 1,200 competitive racing events all over the coun- try. What do you think the average speed of the winners of these 1,200 races was? Take a guess-150 miles an hour? 120i 100? 95? Nope. Much too high. The aver- age speed In 95 percent of these races was under 60 miles an hour. On January 20 of this year, NASCAR di- recteed the Eiveratde. Calif., 600 miles NASCAl road race, which was won by Dan Gur- ney in a 106314 Ford, Gurney, one of the world's "top drivers, won at a speed under 90 miles per hour (84.9). Every manufac- turer In the United States-and I repeat every manufacturer-makes a car that will travel as fast as that. If they didn't, their cars wouldn't be safe. That's right, wouldn't be safe. A car has to be capable -of that speed, or better, to have the horsepower for the acceleration needed to enter and travel. on the existing free- ways and turnpikes of this country. And these expressways, in the future, are going to require even better performance on the part of American cars.

The story ofMiami s transition is' well- told in a recent article frolli the Wash- ington; Daily News by the noted writer ~Richaid Starnes. r-. The remarkable "thing about the story of Miami and the Cuban refugees 1Vlr Starnes states, is that what- could have easily ~iecome asciuallc[ chron- isle of siisp clop fear and hate has turned ?out to be,a, chapterot contemporarj story that all Americans ou l t to be ttroud of [pp endix lastro's Cuba. There have been, of course, host of irritants in the wake of this in- there have ,been resentments, and there is still a small, ugly core of prejudice against , these people who "abandoned their homeland because they loved freedom more. But the remarkable thing about the story bf Miatni'and the Cuban refugees is the fact that the irritants have been minor and are glowly vanishing, that the incidents are di- minishing as understanding grows, that the dismal reservoir of prejudice is no larger than it is. A story that could easily have become asqualid chronicle of suspicion, fear, and hate, has turned out to be a chapter of contemporary history that all Americans ought to be proud of. The credit for this belongs, of course, principally to the people involved-the peo- ple of Miami and the Cuban refugees-with a big Wsist from the farseeing and compas- siopate program of assistance set up by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. , The Cuban Refugee Center, which recently celebrated its second birthday anniversary, Is directed by Marshall Wise, a HEW official -whose field is social security, not refugees. "I got the job," he told me, "because I somehow got the name for being a close man with a, buck, I. was managing the social security office here in Miami, and when they called me to set up the refugee program they 'said, 'We're going to have "to spend a lot of -money, but we don't want it thrown around, -and we don't want any scandal."' -- On the record, HEW's choice of a head -man for the refugee program looks good. A _lot of money has been spent (more than $71 million in direct cash relief to the refugees, for example) but the accomplishments of the "program are genuinely impressive. More 'than a third of the refugees have been re- 'settled in cities all over the United States. nR,esettlgment is an easy word to say, but a tough job to accomplish. ,'In many cases it meant teaching English ,to adults who had never heard it spoken; in ,all cases it meant finding jobs, transporting -families, coaching new communities to ac- tcept the refugees.

VINICK, President, PETER INDRIEKAS, Secretary, Lithuanian American Council,' Lake County, Ind., East Chicago, Ind. GENTLEMEN: It is gratifying to me, as Governor of the State of Indiana, to call to the attention of all citizens that the date, February 16, 1963, will mark the 45th anni- versary of the founding of the Republic of Lithuania which, with other Baltic States, has been ravaged by the forces of commu- nism. It is apropriate that we join the citizens of our State, of Lithuanian descent, in the observance so significant to them and to all who oppose domination and oppression. We, whose forefathers also fought the battle against tyranny, are happy to unite in the celebration of this memorable event, with the hope that their nation and all nations which have suffered similar plight, may soon rejoice in the restoration of their freedom and independence.

"Whereas February 16, 1963, will mark the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Lithuania; and "Whereas the result of the Stalin-Hitler conspiracy, the freedom-loving Lithuanian nation was forcibly deprived of its independ- ence, and subjected to unscrupulous prac- tices of physical, religious, cultural, and economic destruction by the Soviet Union and its single ruling Communist Party; and "Whereas the Lithuanian people are strongly opposed to alien domination and oppression, and are determined to regain freedom and independence; and "Whereas the act of Soviet aggression on Lithuania and other Baltic States has been never recognized by the United States, and as long as America and its democratic form of government survives, there will be hope in Lithuania and all ravaged nations of the earth for a better day to come; and " ""Whereas the residents of this State, along With Americans in many other States of our great country, have a bond of sympathy and understanding with their fellow citizens of Lithuanian decent whose native land has been '(iefallen "~y` hard trials and tribula- tions under the brutal rule of, the Kremlin masters: Now, therefore, I, John Visclosky, mayor of the city of Gary, Ind., proclaim Saturday, February 16, 1963, as Republic of Lithuania Day throughout the city of Gary and do urge all our citizens to give proper recognition to this day of special patriotic significance to their Lithuanian American -fellow citizens and to join in such exercises as may be appropriate for the observance of this anniversary."

What about the impact on prices? In the past, the oil companies have posted high prices for crude oil because the size of their depletion allowance depended on their gross receipts from crude oil sales. In consequence, the companies' own refineries, and those of their cus- tomers, have shown very little profit. This may also have boosted the bills of consumers, our friends and allies in Eu- well as the U.S. Navy and Air In recent years, however, the price structure has been cracking for other reasons; Soviet competition and spec- tacular oil strikes in Africa have ended monopoly. And the administration pro- posals may hasten this process. We do not know how much the new Treasury proposals will cost Middle East companies. One guess puts it at be- tween $25 and $50 million. But large oil companies may come out ahead in any event because of the proposed re- duction in the U.S. corporation tax. Domestic oil companies will surely fight the President's proposals on the hill. It will be interesting to observe the extent to which foreign policy con- siderations will influence the debate. If the past is any criteria in all prob- ability considerations for the foreign potentates and ruling cliques will super- sede the economic consideration in this area of State-Commerce Department activities. Fellow Members, in these trying days of continuing, and In many industries, expanding unemployment, one wonders If we have a true concept of the basic requirements for a healthy and grow- ing economy in an Industrial complex. For too many years we have placed in first consideration the welfare of certain industries and in some cases certain countries and have given second or no consideration to other industries and our own economic well being. There has grown up in this country, either by design or by accident, a feel- ing that ours is an unlimited and bound- less horn of plenty, with no bottom, no ceiling, and the sides stretching beyond the horizons. This is not true in the balance of human endeavors, desires, ambitions, wants, and needs. It is especially un- true in the field of trade economics. It Is only true in the minds of those whose well-being Is not dependent upon the daily struggle to keep "their bellys full." No reasonable person objects to help- ing a neighbor, be he next door or at the far comers of the earth. Any reason- able person can object however, when we lose sight of the simple economic fact that one must always maintain the ability to provide help in order to give help. The coal industry Is a case In point. No industry has performed so well in up- dating its production facilities in Its re- lationship with mine labor and finally In its efforts to Introduce new needs and uses for their product. All this, however, has failed to keep the job opportunities In this industry at a rate required for a healthy economic climate, industrywide or in keeping with our national need. Why is this so? Simply because of action by our own Government in the area of trade wherein imports of com- petitive fuels have destroyed the gains made by this Industry. We have com- pletely forgotten the basic principle so needed in a healthy economy. We have forgotten job protection. it Is unpopular today to talk protection- Ism and yet without job protection all else fades and soon we will be a Nation of workers half producing and half not producing.

WAsax a'roN, D.C., February 13.-President Joseph E. Moody, of National Coal Policy Conference today Issued the following state- ment: "The recommendations of the Office of Emergency Planning Director Edward Mc- Dermott, If accepted by the President, will constitute the most serious blow that this administration has so far dealt the men and their families of the coal and related industries. The interest of hundreds of thousands of American citizens were brushed callously aside for purposes of political expediency. 'It is difficult to reconcile this report with the repeated statements of the President ex- pressing his concern for the domestic fuel industries, especially coal. If these recom- meudations are carried out it can mean dis- aster In the economies of West Virginia, Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and other States. "It Is our understanding that the report is the same except for some word changes as it was In September 1982. It recom- mear' that the Import program on residual au be gradually abandoned and further serves notice the same Is In store for the rest of the import program on crude oil and other products. "In that the report has been In the mak- ing since May 1981 and the present form re- porzedly has been available since last Sep- tember, the coincidence of the visit next week of Mr. Betancourt, President of Vane- zue'a, can hardly be Ignored. "The threat of 'Castroism' hanging over one Latin American country, and the recur- rent riots by the Communist elements there eeern able to panic the U-S. Government while It remains unconcerned about the critical plight of Its own citizens. "The report reaches the strange conclusion that 'The adequacy of resources is not strictly a national problem-is not one for which one looks for an answer within the geographical limits of the United States.' 114s means that. In the opinion of the OEP Director. America need no longer be concerned with developing and strengthen- ing its own resources, and can only be interpreted as meaning that import restric- tion,i on crude oil are also considered un- necessary. "If this revolutionary thinking is accepted by the President, the ultimate and can only was important to the strength of the econ- omy of this Nation. As has been so often true in the history of this Nation, matters of this nature of such vital concern to so great a part of the American people, may have to be finally settled by the Congress. "The conclusions of the OEP Director are completely contrary to findings by the Select Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives which held extensive hearings on the question of 'oil imports and recommended just last month that 'the im- port quotas of residual fuel oil to be used solely as fuel should be fixed at a level no higher than the total of such imports In 1961, so as to reduce the threat to national se- curity which residual oil imports now create.' "It should be recalled that this conclusion was reached by the Small Business Commit- tome Sgllowing extensive hearings by a sub- committee headed by Representative Tons Srzm, of Oklahoma." Mr. Speaker, the recommendation of the OEC Director on top of the unwar- ranted increase in residual oil import quotas for the remainder of this quarter announced recently represents another severe blow to the already seriously dam- aged coal industry. The total increase-17,000 barrels per day, for the full year to be available in the next 2 months-is more than 6-5 mil- lion barrels, or the equivalent of 1.5 million additional tons of coal to be dis- placed in the next 2 months. "This lost coal production would have provided jobs for more than 600 U.S. coal miners for a full year, or 3,600 min- ers during the next 2 months," Mr. Moody said. These destroyed miners' jobs can now be added to the 17,000 full- time jobs already lost each year to im- ported residual oil, which now displaces more than 45 million tons of U.S. coal annually. Today's action was taken at the same time that a spokesman for the admin- istration acknowledged to us that there has been an increase in imports in the first 8 months of the quota year of over 17 million barrels and that consumption on the east coast has been 5.6 million barrels less than was anticipated by the Bureau of Mines in their demand fore- cast on which quotas were established last April. The Department of Interior press re- lease announcing the new increase stated that there was a reduction of 4 million barrels in stocks as of De- cember 31, and that the supply of do- mestic residual for the east coast this year had proved to be approximately 10 million barrels less than was anticipated by the Bureau of Mines.

A few days ago, the Chairman of 'the Committee-J. Peter Grace-submitted 'a report to the Commerce Department and -to other agencies, recommending certain .legislative proposals relating to the Alliance. -The following memorandum sets out the ob- servations and conclusions of three members of COMAP. who, while agreeing with many of the points made In the Grace report feel that there are certain aspects of the problem which need' 'a somewhat different emphasis. `For this reason we feel justified in submit- ting a separate commentary. ?- "We have become increasingly concerned lest the Alliance for Progress fail to achieve Its objectives for lack of a proper focus for Its activities. "As one illustration, the initial concept of COMAP's role appears to have been directed at finding ways to meet the Punta del Este program of $300 million a year of net new V.S. private investment in Latin America by devising short-range measures on the part of the United States to encourage such invest- ment. If such measures would really get ,,the Alliance off the ground, they might be justified. But we are disturbed by.the feel- ing that even if such measures were taken, and were successful in inducing an expanded flow of U.S. investments into Latin America, the basic problem of making the area attrac- tive to local savers and investors would re- main. Indeed, such a program could do positive harm by making local governments ;eel even less urgency than they do now for cjiievipg a proper investment climate. 'What is needed is a comprehensive reap- praisal, not of the broad objectives of the Alliance for Progress, but of the policies and betions which will best achieve these objec- tives. The first year's operation of the Alliance saw heavy emphasis placed on gov- ernment planning, government-to-govern- ,lnent loans and grants, income redistribution through tax and land reform, public housing, and other social welfare measures. Many of these steps were commendable. Yet they were not in most cases accompanied by ef- forts to push through economic reforms which would encourage private initiative and enterprise. The continued outflow of pri- sate funds from. Latin America is sufficient proof of the critical character of the current situation. "Many countries in Latin America need so- cial reforms as well as measures to provide greater equality of opportunity. However, -these broad objectives cannot be achieved Without a more rapid rate of economic ad- vance than now is in, prospect. And rapid economic growth cannot be achieved without greater emphasis on the private sector. The fact is that some 80 percent of Latin Amer- ica's national income is today generated by private activities. Consequently, the Al- liance for Progress can succeed if-and only if-it builds upon this base and places far greater emphasis on the encouragement of private initiative and investment, both local and foreign. - "To reorient the Alliance for Progress in a direction which offers promise of achieving its objections involves difficult and sweeping economic reforms. Currencies need to be stabilized through measures to bring govern- ment budgets under control and to avoid in- flationary increases in the supply of money and credit. Efforts along these lines could lead to the removal of the many exchange controls which still remain and which in- hibit economic growth in many nations. At the same time, governments should act to remove the network of other controls which restrict enterprise and sustain local, high- cost monopolies. Economic growth, and the real benefits to all participants in the com- munity which can accrue from growth, are maximized in an atmosphere of political and economic stability under which competitive private enterprise can thrive. "In a very real sense, the Alliance for Progress is concerned with the age-old prob- lem of trying to bake a bigger pie and divide the slices more evenly at the same time. The emphasis to date has been mostly on the side of slicing the pie. While such efforts may be desirable in the long run, the immediate ef- fect has been to shrink the potential size of the pie. Experience around the world shows clearly that the national welfare is better served by far through policies which enlarge the entire pie. "To accelerate economic advance in Latin America, efforts on many fronts will be re- quired. Governments have important roles to play-in such areas as schools, health, farm extension services and roads. However, the overriding needs is for an increased flow of private capital from both local and for- eign sources and for a significant and con- tinuing improvement in the efficiency with which all resources, including most im- portantly human resources, are used. "For these reasons, we urge that U.S. policies be reoriented to place far greater emphasis on the encouragement of private enterprise and investment. What has been done to date along these lines is simply not enough. The encouragement of private en- terprise, local and foreign, must become the main thrust of the Alliance. This would in- volve two major changes in U.S. policy. "The first requirement is that the govern- ments-and, as far as possible, the people- of Latin America know that the United States has changed its policy so as to put primary stress on improvement in the gen- eral business climate as a prerequisite for social development and reform. It must be made clear that U.S. policy in this hemi- sphere is based on the need for rapid eco- nomic growth and on the belief, confirmed by all available evidence, that this can be achieved within a reasonably free political framework only if private capital is given the opportunity to work in a favorable environ- ment. This means that our policies should be consistent throughout the area and should discourage tendencies toward nationaliza- tion of industries and encourage setting up explicit rules which provide for truly reason- able indemnificatioS where nationalization has taken place. "In addition we should discourage policies which tend to distort normal economic rela- tionships-policies leading to overvalued, and multivalued exchange systems, complex import controls with high and highly vari- able traiffs, quotas and other forms of trade restriction, price controls and highly unpre- dictable budgetary practice. In short, "emphasis should be placed on creating an atmosphere in which private business plan- ning can go on without undue concern about possible changes In the rules of the game. Countries following these policies should be given tangible and active support. "To make this position clear and unam- biguous, it would be necessary for the Presi- dent to proclaim it in a major address in which he not only spells out the rationale behind the new policy, but also indicates the tools available to the United States to help make it effective. The most important of these tools would be the U.S. foreign aid program.

Revenue sources provided-by the bill include proceeds from entrance, admis- sion, and other recreation user fees or .ctiit7fe_s_established by the President for Federal land and water areas; proceeds from the sale of Federal surplus real property; and the proceeds of the 4- cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and special motor fuels used in motorboats. While the Treasury will hold a portion of these revenues for acquisition of addi- tional lands at Federal and federally as- sisted projects, the greater portion would be used to help finance State and Federal programs, For the purpose of assiuring the financ- ing of the program when the States are prepared for full participation, advance appropriations of $60 million a year for 8 years are authorized beginning with the third year, with provision for repay- ment from one-half of the revenues available to the fund. The fund will be used in the proportion of 60 percent for State purposes and 40 percent either way depending on need. This measure is in complete accord with the recommendations of the Out- door Recreation Resources Review Com- mission. It is fiscally sound and for- ward looking. I am hopeful, Mr. Speaker, that it will receive favorable ac- tion _ at this session of Congress and that the country will be able to realize its benefits in the neat,future.
