Throughout, however, the spirit of lib-
erty has remained alive in Poland, and
is deeply instilled in the hearts and
minds of Poles wherever they live.
I know that the occasion of Constitu-
tion Day heightens the courage of every
Pole, and all freedom-loving people, to
look to the ultimate triumph of freedom
and justice, when, as the Polish Consti-
tution of 1791 so aptly puts it:
All power in civil society should be de-
rived from the will of the people, its end
and object being the preservation and in-
tegrity of the state, the civil liberty and
the good order of society, on a equal scale
and on a lasting foundation.
public square, 25,000 of his fellow
countrymen openly wept.
To the Poles, however, their cause was
not defeated. Their fight against ruth-
less oppression continues to this day, for
in the heart of every Pole is a spirit
which cannot be bridled, a light which
will not be put out. May it ever be so
and may the bravery of the Polish'people
never be forgotten.

Mr. DEROUNIAN. Mr. Speaker, we
are today saluting Poland, and in so do-
ing, we remember the efforts of her peo-
ple throughout their country's history in
its ceaseless fight for freedom and demo-
cratic government. That they are aware
of every opportunity to strike a blow for
freedom can be observed in reviewing
and outmoded system of government
used by outside influences to keep the
country weak and divided, and to re-
place it with it modern constitutional
monarchy,. somewhat like that in Eng-
land. It was as President George Wash-
ington wrote to a friend:
Poland appears to have made large and
unexpected strides towards liberty, which if
true, reflects great honor on the present King
who seems to have been the principal pro-
moter of the business.
But too much time was taken in the
drafting and promulgating of this cove-
nant of Polish liberty; there was too
little time to gain the necessary internal
political and economic stability to put
the reforms into effect. Catherine the
Great was now Empress of Russia, and
to. have Poland weak was important to
her foreign policy. Furthermore, such
liberalism as was now moving through
that country could, not be allowed into
Russia. Once her war with the Turks
was finished, Russia invaded, set on driv-
ing out the Polish reformers, the
Jacobins of Warsaw, to destroy the
Constitution. of 1791, and,, in. league with
some of the dissident elements of the
landowning class in Poland, to break the
new will for independence within the
country. With a superior military force
they were successful, especially when
Prussia, who had pledged to defend Pol-
and, backed down, sided again with Rus-
sia. The two of them set about to par-
tition Poland anew, and the liberal Con-
stitution and the personal freedoms of
the Polish people were again thrown to
the winds.
What the Constitution stood for has
not been forgotten, however. We salute
its spirit today, and we also salute the
memory of those farsighted and clear-
thinking men who sponsored that docu- -
ment of citizens' rights 172,years ago.
What they initiated then captured a
spirit inherent in the Polish people which
cannot be 'driven out, a spirit of inde-
pendence and freedom sought after and
fought for so bravely and for so long,
but enjoyed for such a short while.

At a time when the Polish people are
unable to enjoy the rights for which their
ancestors struggled, it is particularly fit-
ting that we pause to pay homage to this
great symbol of 18th century liberalism.
In so doing, we pay homage to the love
for freedom and independence which the
present Communist Government of Po-
land has been unable to eradicate. The
spirit of the 3d of May Constitution lives
on, and the whole free world is com-
mitted to its fulfillment.

Names such as KoscluszkO. Pulaski,
Chopin and Paderewski reflect this
Polish spirit under which men freely
abandon their personal careers, whether
they be military or musical, and dedicate
themselves completely to the battle for
freedom.
The Polish spirit has moved the Polish
people to valiant deeds In defense of their
freedom and independence. One of the
great wonders in the history of Western
civilization is the durability of Poland
for both man and Nature have seemed
to militate against Poland's survival.
Caught between Germany and Russia,
Poland's territory has been a perennial
battleground for envious armies and the
Polish people have long been threatened
with extinction. Nowhere In Eastern
Europe has nationalism been so cruelly
and continually oppressed, yet nowhere
in Eastern Europe has the flame of lib-
erty burned brighter.
We cannot help but admire and re-
spect such a people and our admiration
is constantly reaffirmed through our daily
associations with the best of the Polish
spirit among our own Americans. On
this day especially we recall that the
Polish Constitution followed our own by
only a few years and that both were in-
spired by similar movements of liberal-
ism designed to elevate man's position.
Thus we read in article five of the Polish
Constitution:

a?ainst the U.N. Special Fund project to
aid Communist Cuba with an agricul-
tural program.
I was again shocked to read that an
agreement had been signed wherein the
U.N. Special Fund and Cuba would share
the cost of a project to aid Cuban agri-
culture, and the U.N. Food and Agricul-
ture Organization would carry it out.
It is reported that the project calls for
the Fund and Cuba together to spend $3
million to set up an agricultural research
institute in Cuba. A spokesman for the
Fund is reportedly to have said that
Leonardo Fernandez Sanchez, Cuban
Ambassador to Italy, and Jan Huyser,
an official of the FAO, signed the so-
called plan of operation at FAO head-
quarters in Rome, April 10, and Paul G.
Hoffman, managing director of the Fund,
signed it at the United Nations head-
quarters on April 15.
In my opinion, this one program has
done more to damage the United Nations
in the eyes of the American people than
any other.
Today I wrote a letter to American
U.N. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson in
which I stated that the unfortunate
events in Katanga, coupled with other
events, in my opinion, have lowered the
prestige of the United Nations in this
country to a dangerous level.
I had objected to this program when
it was first announced and in a letter to
me on March B. 1963, Mr. Stevenson in-
formed me that he had also objected to
this program and "has no hesitancy In
vigorously opposing an unsound, Ill-timed
project." I applaud him for objecting,
but this Is not enough.
Personally I am not convinced that
Mr. Hoffman is doing a first-rate job
of directing the Special Fund If this is
any indication. Here we find a Com-
munist government having ruined the
Cuban economy, and then find the
United Nations approving a $3 million
project to aid that faltering Communist
economy.
Here we find this Nation, indirectly, in

my opinion, giving aid and support to
a sworn and deadly enemy, as serious
as we have ever faced. To say that no
U.S. funds are going to be used in this
project is ridiculous on the face of it.
Here we find this Nation carrying a dis-
proportionate share of the cost of the
United Nations, and then having that
organization giving aid to a dictatorial
Communist nation is Irresponsible at
best.
We cannot allow the U.N. to subvert
the foreign policies of this Nation In this
fashion, because It is the United States
that bears the brunt of financing the
United Nations.
I have asked Ambassador Stevenson
one pointed question. Is Cuba paid up
In its dues and assessments to the United
Nations?
I think the answer to this question Is
important. Has this nation that the
U.N. now seeks to aid pa`d it, so-called
share of operating the United Nations?
This program, in my opinion, has
dealt a severe blow to the prestige of
the United Nations.
I cannot support the U.N. Special
Fund or the U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization If this is any example of
the work they are doing. The foreign
aid that this Nation gives to other na-
tions is the province of the Congress,
and I think it Is time that all such activ-
ity of the United Nations was halted.
I do not intend to vote for funds to be
given to the United Nations that will
wind up In the hands of a Communist
nation, to help sustain a dictatorial
scourge like Castro of Cuba.
It seems to me that the Congress
should fully investigate this matter.
WEST VIRGINIA: STILL SHORT-
CHANGED N SPACE
(Mr. HECHLER asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks and to Include some tables and
statistical matter.)
Mr. HECHLER. Mr. Speaker, there
recently came to my attention the An-
nual Procurement Report of the Nation-
al Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion for the fiscal year 1962.
In glancing through this report, I was
very much disturbed to note the facts
revealed in several of the tables. -Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tion has made a great deal of its conten-
tion that the space program has pro-
vided widely distributed benefits to the
American economy. Yet a State-by-
State breakdown of NASA procurement
for the fiscal year 1962 reveals that not a
single contract and not a single dollar
went to the State of West Virginia in
direct awards of $25,000 and over.
National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
m:nistratton has also made much of the
fact that the space program is benefiting
labor surplus areas. The same procure-
m'nt report gives a State-by-State and,
city-by-city breakdown of direct awards
of $25,000 and over to cities In labor sur-
plus areas. Not a single dollar of this
amount went to any labor surplus area
in West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, of
course, some subcontracts were awarded
in West Virginia, but I submit that any
program claiming to assist labor surplus
areas and which grants not a single dol-
lar in prime contracts to the State of
West Virginia is misleading.
I would like to underline, Mr. Speaker,
that since 1961 the State of West Vir-
ginia has advanced from the bottom of
the heap up to 30th place in the Nation
in the per capita amount of defense con-
tracts awarded. Yet in the space pro-
gram no similar progress has been re-
corded. I would be the first to protect
If political or geographical favoritism
were the rule for awarding any Govern-
ment contract. But I wish to state that
if all other factors are equal then some
preference should be given in establish-
ing installations In those areas where an
excessive trained or trainable labor sup-
ply will Insure that adequate manpower
is available to carry out the mission.
