phoned every day; of his wife and children,
of his colleagues and competitors. And this
uncorrupted heart, broken or no, is what is
likely to be remembered of him in this great
city and at Dartmouth, his other home.
FRIENDS, NOT SPEECHES
The obit writers had a hard weekend with
Orv because they kept hunting for him in
the files and of course he wasn't there. He
didn't make speeches, he made friends. The
last time I saw him, he was breathing hard
but still worrying about everybody else's
worries and insisting that everybody get a
good rest. after the long strike.
Most of the time, it is the heart -that
governs understanding, and understanding
was his special quality. He not only under-
stood human frailty and almost preferred
it. He understood the sensitive pride and
combative instincts of reporters and editors,
which is not easy. He even understood the
anxieties of the printers during the time
of our troubles..
Throughout the whole ghastly period, when,
he wore his life away, he was again worrying
about other people, this time about those
who were on the street with no work and
those who were in the office with too much
work. He was running the office by day and
often negotiating far into the night. Even
when his heart began to rebel and the doc-
tors put him on digitalis to regulate it, no-
body knew what was going on but his family.
AND NEVER CAME HACK
When the strike was over he finally slipped
away to the hospital and never came back.
This quality of concern for others is vital
to the tradition of the Times. A newspaper
is a very special kind of partnership. The
main ingredients are not newsprint ink and
advertising, but the more volatile human
ingredients of blood, brains, pride, and cour-
age. This is why understanding is so im-
portant at the top, and why Adolph Ochs,
Arthur Sulzberger and Orval Dryfoos, having
understanding, were so good at it. For they
saw a newspaper, as Edmund Burke saw a
nation, not only as a partnership of the
living, but as a partnership "between those
who are living, those who are dead, and
those who are to be born."

Here is the summary of the findings
of the bipartisan committee-Committee
on Armed Services of the U.S. Senate-
on the Cuban military buildup:
SUMMARY OF THREAT ARISING FROM SOVIET.
PRESENCE IN CUBA
Our summary of the threat and poten-
tial threat which the Soviet presence in
Cuba presents to the Americas is as follows:
1. Cuba is an advanced Soviet base for
subversive, revolutionary, and agitational ac-
tivities in the Western Hemisphere and af-
fords the opportunity to export agents, funds,
arms, ammunition, and propaganda through-
out. Latin America.
2. Assuming without deciding that all stra-
tegic weapons have been withdrawn, there
is the ever-present possibility of the stealthy
reintroduction of strategic missiles and other
offensive weapons, using the Soviet forces
still in Cuba as camouflage and security for
the. activity.
3. Cuba serves as an advance intelligence
base for the U.S.S.R.
4. The potential exists to establish elec-
tronic warfare capabilities based on Cuba.
5. The vital Panama Canal could be the
target for sneak raids originating from Cuba.
6. Potentially, Cuba is a base from which
the Soviets could interdict our vital air and
sea lanes. It can now be used for the air,
sea, and electronic surveillance of our mili-
tary activities in the southeast United States
and the Caribbean.
7. Cuba's airfields could serve as recovery
aarbases for planes launched against the
United States from the Soviet Union.
8. Advanced Soviet submarine bases could
be established in Cuban ports with very
little effort.
9. The continued presence of the Soviets
in Cuba could require a further reorienta-
tion of the U.S. air defenses.
10. Cuba provides a base for the training
of agents from other Latin American coun-
tries in subversive, revolutionary, agita-
tional, and sabotage techniques.
11. The very presence of the Soviets in
Cuba affects adversely our Nation's image
and prestige. Our friends abroad will un-
derstandably doubt our ability to meet and
defeat the forces of communism thousands
of miles across the ocean if we prove unable
to cope with the Communist threat at our
very doorstep.
A consideration of all these matters serves
to emphasize the gravity of the threat to
our national security which Cuba now
represents.
Mr. Speaker,. these are serious charges
and I do not see how the President can
ignore the military danger to our Na-
tion. I cannot understand a Commander
in Chief who, in withholding informa-
tion from the people misleads them into
a sense of false security. President Ken-
nedy is assuming for himself a grave and
dangerous responsibility in such actions.
As the Soviet net tightens in this hemi-
sphere and the military threat to our

men with so many diverse ideas on so many
subjects, about which so much can be said.
But the tyranny of the deadline is always
present, and while most of these decisions
.are made on the desk, the big ones have to
be made at the top.
MAN OF BIG DECISIONS
Here, Orvil Dryfoos was equal to his duty.
I will always remember him in the city room
on election night of 1960 when he was the
first to sense that we had gone out on a
limb for Kennedy too early and insisted that
we reconsider. And again, in 1961, when
we were on the point of reporting a prema-
ture invasion of Cuba, his courteous ques-
tions and wise judgment held us back.
He had his weaknesses, like all of us, but
usually they sprang from the more amiable
qualities of the human spirit. To hurt a col-
league was an agony for him, and in this
savage generation, when men decide, other
men often get hurt. But he could make up
his mind. He suffered, but he acted.
Perhaps the simplest thing to say about
him-and I believe I speak for my colleagues
in this-is that the more we knew him, the
more we respected him. He was a gentleman.
He was faithful to a noble tradition, to the
family from which he came, and to the great
family he joined and loved.
Martin Buber once said "if we could hang
all our sorrows on pegs, and were allowed to
choose those we liked best, everyone of us
would take back his own, for all the rest
would seem more. difficult to bear."
Let us, then, honor Orval Dryfoos with
remembrance rather than with tears. For
his children will never be able to cry as
much as he has made them laugh.

widely by the daily press, and it is my
privilege of Including as a Part of my
remarks two examples of such acknowl-
edgements.
On behalf of the members of the Com-
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com-
merce, I would like to wish Mr. Minow
Godspeed and success in his future en-
deavors. I, personally, regret that for
reasons of his own he was unable to
continue in public office. I am sure he
will be missed. However, in saying
goodby to Mr. Minow I want to welcome
his successor, Mr. E. William Henry, and
I want to express a hope that he will
carry on the good work performed by
Mr. Minow during his tenure in office.

Miaow TAKE.9 THE LAST STACx FROM
TOMBSTONE
It may be truly said of anyone having any-
thing to do with the production of an en-
cyclopedia that his work is never done. To
Newton Minow, however, his new connection
with the Britannica may take on some of the
aspects of a rest cure when he looks back
upon his tour as FCC Chairman, a labor
which, seriously entered Into, Is roughly com-
parable to that of Sisyphus, with some over-
tones of Hercules in Augean stables.
Mr. Minow came to the Commission more
than 2 years ago with his widely quoted de-
scription of commercial TV broadcasting as a
"vast wasteland." Is the wasteland today
any less vast for his brief passage? The
safest sort of nonanswer would be to specu-
late upon what things would be like If Mr.
Minow had never made the scene, or had
brought to his task the attitude of a time-
server rather than that of goad and gadfly.
Our own summary judgment is that net-
work informational programs are the best
ever, a development for which the retiring
FCC Chairman can claim some Indirect
credit.
For the rest of it, though, the programing
panorama Is as evocative of "Death Valley
Days" as ever, with perhaps even more
weathered jawbones in view. Indeed, one of
Mr. Minow's troubles was that he was never
sure from day to day that the next skull be
picked up wouldn't be his own. The broad-
casters didn't "get" Newton Minow; be had
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. BOLAND. Mr. Speaker, I want to
compliment the gentleman from Arkan-
sas for bringing to the attention of this
House the departure of Newton N. Min-
ow as Chairman of the Federal Com-
munications Commission. There is no
Member of this Congress who knows
more about Federal communication
problems than the gentleman who just
spoke in the well of the House.
I join with him in this tribute to Mr.
Minow as he leaves the FCC and goes
back to private life. Heading almost any
agency of this vast Federal Government
is a difficult task but it is infinitely more
difficult when that agency touches the
pulse and feelings of so many people
across our land. . Newton Minow met
the challenge and he met It with cour-
age and determination. He stirred to
the depths the great broadcasting in-
dustry; and it is my judgment that this
fantastic communication medium is the
better for Chairman Minow's words and
deeds. He, indeed, has been a good and
a great public servant and President
Kennedy can take pride in his appoint-
ment and the service he rendered. I
give my own congratulations to him and
I add my sincere wish that the future
will be as exciting as the past and that
his gracious wife, Jo, and his lovely chil-
dren and Newton Minow will have
many, many years of happiness, health,
and prosperity as they leave the official
Washington scene.
The story is told that after he had sworn
in Newton Minow, President Kennedy said
in an earnest aside, "Newt, we expect you
to do something about getting better tele-
vision shows." The record discloses that
Mr. Minow has done just about everything
the laws allow to encourage a change of
scenery on the screen that he called "a vast
wasteland." In his 2 years as chairman of
the Federal Communications Commission,
Mr. Minow has made the quality of broad-
casting a national issue. This will surely
guarantee him a high rating for service on
a scale more exacting than that employed by
Trendex.
A gifted controversialist, Mr. Minow
showed a zest for combat and a skill with
phrases that forced broadcasters to recon-
sider sider their responsibilities to the public.
The laws do not permit the FCC to act as a
censor, but they do not prevent the chair-
man from speaking his mind. Mr. Minow
left no doubts about his views on the dreary
programs and caterwauling commercials that
constitute so much of TV's "Bland Old
Opera."
How much effect did his campaign have
on broadcasting? Opinions differ. Defensive
Industry spokesmen Insist that the increase
in public service programs antedated Mr.
Mtnow's arrival In Washington, and they note
wryly that TV's most popular show Is now
"The Beverly Hillbillies." Yet there Is no
doubt that Mr. Minow's hectoring prodded
an industry too often bemused by size of
audience and magniture of profit; if there
was an existing tendency to improve TV, the
chairman's repeated salvos accelerated the
pace.
In concrete terms, Mr. Minor did succeed
in freeing channel 13 in New York for edu-
cational purposes, and the station may yet
become the flagship of a national educational
network, His advocacy before Congress
helped win passage for bills creating the
Telstar Corp.. providing Federal help for edu-
cational stations, and requiring set manu-
facturers to build all-channel receivers be-
ginning on June 1. 1984. Under his chair-

own land becomes greater, he alone must
be held responsible.
It will not be enough for the President
to say later that he misjudged the Soviet
intention. His remorse after the Soviet
military might is loosed upon the United
States will hardly be sufficient to atone
for a war which can be prevented if he
takes immediate and forceful action now.
Mr. President, I call upon you to trust
the American people with the facts.
They are your strength, not the timid
advisers who, in their eagerness to ac-
commodate the Soviet Union, weaken
the strength and security of the United
States. As a Member of Congress of the
United States and in the name of the
people of the Fifth District of Texas who
have given me the responsibility of being
their voice in Congress, I call upon you
to stop this suicidal course of accommo-
dation of the enemy and take all neces-
sary steps now to end the military threat
to the United States by reimposing at
once the Monroe Doctrine, halting all
shipments of strategic material to Cuba,
and setting a time and date for the com-
plete removal of all Russian troops and
missiles from Cuba.
Mr. President, the sacred oath you took
to defend the United States against all
its enemies, precludes the present course
you are following which seems to express
more concern for the accommodation of
the Soviet Union than in the protection
of our own land.
For a report on the findings of the sub-
committee of the other body as to the
military threat from Cuba, I refer you
to the following column by David Law-
rence in the Washington Evening Star
of May 20:
CUBA HELD Maros THREAT TO UNITED STATES-
SENATE GROUP'S REPORT EXPLORES DANGER
OF RED ATTAcx FROM ISLAND
(By David Lawrence)
The greatest danger to the security of the
United States today is in Cuba. There is
enough Soviet military strength remaining
on the island to launch an attack on this
country.
Yet the American people are being led to
believe that Soviet military strength in Cuba
is negligible and that an attack is as un-
thinkable as the missile buildup last year
was supposed to be.
This was the reasoning used by Govern-
ment agencies here in the autumn of 1962
to minimize the meaning of the Soviet troop
movement and of the preliminary steps for
the setting up of missile bases.
The most important official document on
the Cuban situation has received only pass-
ing attention in the last 11 days from the
American people. No announcement has
been made of what the Kennedy administra-
tion Intends to do about the facts that have
just been disclosed. There are no signs that
the Soviet Government is being prodded to
get its troops, technicians, and military
equipment out of Cuba, or that any demand
is being made to permit on-the-spot inspec-
tion in order to find out whether any mis-
siles are still concealed inside the island.
The latest word to the American people
about the gravity of the Cuban situation
comes not from Republican critics trying to
make a political issue but from a subcom-
mittee of the Committee on Armed Services
of the U.S. Senate headed by a Democratic
chairman, Senator JOHN STENNIS, Of MiSs1s-
sippi. All seven members-four Democrats
and three Republicans-signed the unani-
mous report. It tells the unvarnished truth
about what has happened and points out a
lesson for the future. Here are some extracts
from the report, dated May 9, which was writ-
ten after hearing for many weeks secret
testimony given by the intelligence agencies
of the Government, civilian and military:
"While a reasonably competent job was
done in acquiring and collecting intelligence
information and data, In retrospect it ap-
pears that several substantial errors were
made by the intelligence agencies in the
evaluation of the information and data
which was accumulated.
"Even though the intelligence community
believes that all (strategic missiles) have
been withdrawn, it is of the greatest urgency
to determine whether or not strategic mis-
siles are now concealed in Cuba. The criti-
cality of this is illustrated by the fact that,
assuming maximum readiness at pre-
selected sites, with all equipment pre-
located, the Soviet mobile medium-range-
1100 miles-missiles could be made opera-
tional in a matter of hours.
"Some other sources-primarily refugee
and exile groups-estimate that as many as
40,000 Soviets are now in Cuba. Bearing in
mind the lack of hard evidence on the ques-
tion and the, substantial underestimation
of last fall, we conclude that no one in official
U.S. circles can tell with any real degree of
confidence, how many Russians are now in
Cuba and we are of the opinion that the
official 17,500 estimate Is perhaps a minimum
figure.
"The evidence is overwhelming that Castro
Is supporting, spurring, aiding, and abetting
Communist revolutionary and subversive
movements throughout the Western Hemi-
sphere and that such activities present a
grave and ominous threat to the peace and
security of the Americas.
"It is agreed that ironclad assurance of
the complete absence of Soviet strategic
missiles in Cuba can come only as a result
of thorough, penetrating, onsite inspection
by reliable observers.
"The importance of making every effort to
ascertain the truth with respect to this mat-
ter cannot be overemphasized. The crit-
icality of it can best be illustrated by the
fact that the testimony established that,
upon the assumption that all missiles and
associated equipment and the necessary per-
sonnel were readily available near prese-
lected sites in a state of complete readiness,
mobile medium-range missiles could be made
operational in a matter of hours. Thus, if
these missiles and their associated equipment
remain in Cuba, the danger is clear and
obvious.
"Assuming without deciding that all stra-
tegic weapons have been withdrawn, there
is the ever-present possibility of the stealthy
reintroduction of strategic missiles and other
offensive weapons, using the Soviet forces
still in Cuba as camouflage and security for
the activity.
"Potentially, Cuba is a base from which
the Soviets could interdict our vitallair and
sea lanes. It can now be used for the air,
sea, and electronic surveillance of our mili-
tary activities in the Southeast United States
and the Caribbean.
"Cuba's airfields could serve as recovery
air bases for planes launched against the
United States from the Soviet Union."
This means that the range of certain So-
viet military planes has been increased sub-
stantially. They need fly only one way in
a surprise attack, drop bombs on the United
States and land in Cuba.
Yet in the last few weeks nothing has been
done to insist upon on-site inspection in
Cuba by the United Nations or by any other
agency. The Kennedy administration has
retreated on this point, and only an informed
public opinion in the United States and
throughout the world can bring about an ad-
vance-to verify what has actually happened.

which would transfer certain house-
keeping functions with respect to the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde
Park from the Department of the Inte-

tration.
I have introduced today two meas-
ures--one a joint resolution to acceler-
ate the effective date of that plan pro-
viding that it would take effect 10 days
after the adoption of the joint resolution
and, second, a bill which incorporates
the provisions of the plan.
This morning I appeared before the
Committe on Rules in opposition to the
extension of the Reorganization Act for
2 years which has been reported favor-
ably by the House Committee on Gov-
ernment Operations, and I intend in the
special order that has been granted to
me for today to discuss the propriety of
the Congress taking action at this time
to extend the Reorganization Act.
Tf1E LATE ORVIL E. DRYFOOS,
PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER OF
THE NEW YORK TIMES
(Mr. REID of New York asked and
was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and ex-
tend his remarks and to include extrane-
ous matter.)
Mr. REID of New York. Mr. Speaker,
I rise with sadness in my heart over the
death of a friend and colleague early
Saturday morning, Orvil E. Dryfoos,
president and publisher of the New York
Times.
Those of us on the Herald Tribune,
who had the privilege of working with
him, knew him as a man of humility, a
man who had a deep concern for people,
and a man whose warmth of heart was
evident for all to see.
Orvil Dryfoos served in the great tra-
dition of the New York Times, in the
tradition of Adolph Ochs. He worked

welcome Ste tement was made in early April
by Presider. ' Kennedy in a message to Con-
gress on fireign aid. He not only stressed
the impo,tance of an increased role for
private (-..vestment, making it one of the
six form vl objectives of his program, but he
follower this with a promise of specific legis-
lative recommendations. The President's
promise was followed by announcement of a
concrete proposal for a tax credit amounting
to 30 percent of new investment in develop-
ing countries.
It is my contention that the situation
would not have deteriorated to this point
had our Government, from the beginning,
taken American business into more active
partnership in this vital venture. Advisory
committees are not enough. Their advice
can be, and too often is, ignored. What is
needed is an institutional framework that
will encourage business and government to
work closely together. To ask American
firms to do business alone with the kind of
revolution now going on in Latin America
is to ask it to retire from the scene. To
ask government to do it alone is to ask for
failure, followed by socialism or worse.
Industry, in my opinion, is ready to respond
to a call by the President for a mobilization
of its power, skills, and immense knowledge
of the area and get behind a drive to make
the Alliance for Progress a success. The
first step would be the creation of joint
Government-industry task forces for those
countries ready and willing to set up coun-
terpart teams of their own. Their job would
not be to create a master plan for economic
and industrial development of that country;
the Alliance is already badly bogged down
trying to do this. The task forces would have
the following three objectives:
1. To recommend measures in each coun-
try that would help halt the flight of local
and U.S. capital and encourage private invest-
ment in productive enterprise.
2. To recommend to the U.S. Government
the kind of legal and administrative changes
needed to enlist American enterprise in the
development of that country on a major
scale.
3. To search out specific profitable and
employment-creating opportunities that are
needed for economic growth and that would
attract both local and American Investment.
These task forces would have to have policy
guidance, administrative direction, and sup-
port and immediate access to high enough
levels of government so that their recom-
mendations would lead to action instead of
talk. The program director should be of
top caliber and should report to either an
Under Secretary of State or the Administrator
of AID. To advise him he should have a
board composed of representatives of the
government departments concerned with
Latin American affairs and an equal number
of business and financial leaders experienced
in the area.
In each Latin country there is a large nu-
cleus of skilled and patriotic businessmen
who are awaiting just this kind of leadership
and joint purpose from their giant and suc-
cessful neighbor to the north. Here at home
such a venture would tap a huge reservoir
of expert knowledge about the area and so-
phisticated responsibility toward its develop-
ment among U.S. corporate and financial in-
stitutions. The response is ready, in my
opinion, for the challenge.
I would not want to tell you that support
of the private sector is all we need to bring
Latin America into the modern world. Stable
governments are probably more important,
since they have anenormous effect on both
the public and private sectors-witness the
way Brazil was slowed to a halt for months
last year while - the question of President
Goulart's authority was being settled. Social,
fiscal, and tax reform are needed, though the
forded draft under which this is being tried
pursuant to the terms of the Alliance seems
unwise. These reforms will take time. If
they are pushed too hard, the result will be
both economic and political chaos, not prog-
ress.
And the population problem is throttling
the rise in per capita income. The Alliance
planned for a 5-percent annual increase in
gross national product. With an expected
21/2 -percent rise in population every year,
this was supposed to produce a 21/2 -percent
increase in per capita income. But economic
growth has, in fact, slowed way down and
the rate of the population rise, now the
fastest in the world, is turning out to be
nearly one-fifth higher than estimated.
This has left the average person poorer than
ever.
* * * * *
In summing up what I have said tonight,
I would like to make the following points:
1. Neither Government nor industry can
afford the peril of having on its southern
doorstep a population the size of Russia's
with comparable natural resources united
under the Red flag and dedicated to the prop-
osition that the United States must perish.
2. American business must cooperate with
the U.S. Government's objective of raising
living standards and keeping communism
out of Latin America or else face the possi-
bility that new and more powerful Castros
will push all private business out of one of
our largest and most promising markets.
3. Our Government must cooperate with
industry far more closely than it has in the
past, if it wishes to carry out its own objec-
tives. Technical aid and government-to-
government programs cannot begin to ac-
complish the task. What is needed is the
active, large-scale assistance of U.S. corpora-
tions, the greatest providers of jobs and
wealth that man has yet invented.
4. Both Government and industry must
bury their ancient myths about each other
and unite in the common cause. This will
not be easy, for these myths appear to be as
durable as those of Karl Marx and Adam
Smith about capitalism. They have sur-
vived close collaboration during two world
wars and innumerable joint projects since.
But they are about as useful in running the
complex machinery of the modern world as
a sledge hammer.
5. We shall have to create imaginative
new institutions, such as the country-by-
country task forces I have suggested, that
will harness the economic power of indus-
try with the political power of government.
As equal partners working toward the same
goal; we have a reasonable chance of coping
with the explosive forces south of the border.
In conclusion let me say that if someone _
had asked me 3 or 4 years ago whether in-
dustry could do business with a revolution,
I would have thought even the question
ridiculous. Now I am not so sure that the
answer is going,to be negative. Faced with
reality, a national task of sizable dimen-
sions and the known consequences of failure,
the American people have always been re-
markably resourceful and the American
corporation has been ingenious.
No Buildup in Cuba-Or No Intelligence?
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. PAUL G. ROGERS
OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, May 20, 1963
Mr. ROGERS of Florida. Mr. Speak-
er, there is still great concern over the
A3425
extent of Soviet strength in Cuba. Part
of this concern is due to the questionable
reputation which our intelligence opera-
tions in Cuba have acquired.
I have introduced legislation to estab-
lish a joint House-Senate watchdog
committee to give regular scrutiny and
review to these operations. Strong argu-
ments for such a committee were put
forward recently by John S. Knight,
publisher of the Miami Herald, one of
the Nation's leading newspapers.
I include Mr. Knight's lucid article at
this point in the RECORD in order that it
may receive the largest possible audi-
ence:
No BUILDUP IN CUBA-OR No INTELLIGENCE?
VIEWS ON THE NEWS
Last week, I stated here that Soviet mili-
tary strength in Cuba "is still very formid-
able."
Mentioned were 42 high performance jet
fighters, heavy and medium tanks, anti-tank
guns, field artillery pieces, rocket launchers
and a minimum of 17,500 military personnel.
But, at the President's news conference on
Wednesday last, this colloquy took place:
Question. Mr. President, there's still a lot
of discussion in the Congress-Senator
LAUSCHE among others-on - the increasing
buildup militarily of Cuba. Is there any-
thing you can say that would be in any way
encouraging about the removal of Russian
troops or of the military situation in Cuba?
"Answer. We do not have any evidence of
increasing military buildup by the Soviet
Union. I think at previous press conferences
I've given an answer to the question of how
many Russians were there, and the com-
ment in regard to the withdrawal of Soviet
troops. There has not been a satisfactory
withdrawal as yet. But we have no evidence
that there is a number coming in larger
than going out.
"Question. Pardon me, sir, I was think-
ing more in terms of military equipment
going into Cuba.
"Answer. Yes, I understand that. We
have no evidence that there is an increasing
military buildup in Cuba. The intelligence
community has not found that."
THEY LOST BECAUSE
In the preceding dialog, the important
words to remember are: "The intelligence
community has not found that."
This is the same intelligence community
which last summer mistook Soviet troops for
civilian technicians and estimated Soviet
personnel in Cuba at 5,000.
This is the same intelligence community
which, notwithstanding human source re-
ports, could not identify the presence in
Cuba of Russian-organized ground combat
forces until October 25, although some of
them had been there since last July.
The preparedness investigating subcom-
mittee of the Senate exonerates the intelli-
gence community of the charge that a' gap
existed in our photographic reconnaissance
over Cuba from September 5 to October 14.
But the committee does say "the deficiency
in the performance of the intelligence com-
munity appears to have been in the evalua-
tion and assessment of the accumulated data.
Moreover, there seems to have been a disin-
clination on the part of the intelligence
community to accept and believe the omi-
nous portent of the information which had
been gathered.
"In addition," says the committee, "the
intelligence people invariably adopted the
most optimistic estimate possible with re-
spect to the information available. This is
in sharp contrast to the customary military
practice of emphasizing the worst situation
which might have been- established by the
accumulation of evidence."

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX May 28
PHILOSOPHICAL?
The Senate subcommittee, on testimony
taken from top officials of the CIA and the
Pentagon, makes the startling statement that
intelligence community analysts "were
strongly Influenced by their philosophical
judgment that it would be contrary to Soviet
policy to Introduce strategic missiles Into
Cuba."
The committee says further that the in-
telligence chiefs acknowledge that they were
misled and deceived. The Intelligence people
now say that sit strategic missiles and offen-
sive-weapon systems have been removed.
The committee cannot reach a conclusion
on this because "of lack of conclusive evi-
dence."
Actually. It will never be known how many
weapons are hidden In Cuba without on-site
inspection, an early Kennedy objective now
forgotten.
So when the President tells the Nation that
our intelligence community "has found no
evidence of a military buildup In Cuba,"
we can well ask on the basis of the past
record, "How reliable is the information?"
AND NONPARTISAN
I believe the Senate subcommittee, with
Senator JOHN STENNis as chairman, has per-
formed an Invaluable service for the country
by revealing that-as In the days before
Castro--our intelligence evaluations are too
often influenced by the philosophical lean-
ings of the evaluators.
It is significant, too, that the fun report
was unanimously approved by Chairman
STENNIS and the full subcommittee, consist-
ing of Democratic Senators STUART SYMING-
TON, of Missouri; HENRY M. JACKSON, Of.
Washington; and STROM THURMOND, of South
Carolina; and Republican Senators LEYERErr
SALTONSTALL, of Massachusetts; MARGARET
CHASE SMITH, of Maine, and BARRY GOLD-
WATER, of Arizona.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. EMANUEL CELLER
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 8, 1963
Mr. CELLER. Mr. Speaker, I offer
an interesting statement published by
the Association of American Railroads.
It is an excellent defense of H.R. 4700,
the bill to give railroads the same free-
dom of competition as to minimum rates
now enjoyed by truckers and bargelines.
The statement-"Support Fair Competi-
tion-Support Low Prices in Transporta-
tion," in the form of questions and an-
swers, follows:
S. 1061, H.R. 4700, THE FAIR ComPErrrioN
Brats
These two Identical bills are now pending
before the 88th Congress. They will put
old-fashioned fair competition to work in
transportation.
They are a tiny numerical fraction of our
lawmakers' legislative workload, but a major
part of their 1963 legislative responsibility
to the public.
Why? Let the President answer. "If ac-
tion is not taken to establish a 3#ansporta-
tion policy consistent with the new demands
upon the economy, we face serious problems
of dislocation and deterioration in both the
transportation industry and the economic
life of the nation which it affects. I urge
that action be taken to establish such a
policy." (President John F. Kennedy, in
his letter of March 5, 1953, to Senate and
House leaders enclosing draft legislation on
S. 1061 and H.R. 4700.)
Question. What would this legislation do?
Answer. I would give all carriers the right
to lower freight rates without Government
approval when they carry agricultural prod-
ucts and bulk commodities. Truckers now
have this right when hauling agricultural
products and bargellnes have this right when
carrying bulk commodities such as grain or
petroleum-but not the railroads.
S. 1061 and H.R. 4700 would simply ex-
tend to railroads some of the competitive
freedom already enjoyed by trucks and barge-
lines. It is no misnomer to call them the
fair competition bills for American trans-
portation.
Question. What would these fair competi-
tion bills mean to the public?
Answer. It is estimated that nearly $50
billion of the $554 billion gross national prod-
uct in the United States today represents
outlays for the transportation of things we
produce and consume. Thus, when trans-
portation costs are lowered througlrincreased
competition, the person devoting approxi-
mately 10 cents of each dollar to freight
transportation will enjoy direct benefit.
The bills are a strong weapon against
Inflation. While virtually all industries are
under pressure to raise prices, the railroads
want the freedom to reduce them,
Question. What would railroads do if the
bills are passed?
Answer. They would reduce more freight
rates and pass on to the public more of the
savings from technological improvements.
A classic case Is that of a progressive rail-
road which developed huge new hopper cars
for carrying grain at greatly reduced costs.
It has since sought to pass on to the public
the benefits from this greater efficiency in
the form of 60-percent cuts In freight rates
on multiple-car shipments.
Question. How did unequal competition
over get started?
Answer. Basically from the failure of our
transportation laws to keep pace with the
development of transportation. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission was created in
1887, so the first Federal controls over rail-
road freight rates date back Into the 19th
century. Meanwhile, vast growth occurred
in road, water, and air transportation, but
different regulatory standards were applied
to these new competitors. President Ken-
nedy has stated the problem clearly:
"A chaotic patchwork of Inconsistent and
often obsolete legislation and regulation has
evolved from a history of specific actions ad-
dressed to specific problems of specific indus-
tries at specific times. This patchwork does
not fully reflect either the dramatic changes
In technology of the past half-century
or the parallel changes in the structure of
competition.-
Question. Why all the stew about lower-
Ing rates?
Answer. This is the weirdest part of all
about outdated rate regulation. The pub-
lie-and Washington, too--clamors for the
lowest possible prices. Yet in transporta-
tion, lopsided laws have made competition
a one-way street. Exempt trucks and barge-
lines can wheel and deal for traffic at will:
when the railroads try to retain or recapture
freight shipments by reducing rates in re-
turn, however, the public regulator all too
often blows the whistle.
Question. Who is in favor of fair com-
petition legislation?
Answer. Only the President of the United
States. shippers, farmers, and food proces-
sors, consumers, railroads, and practically all
fairminded Americans from every walk of
life.
Question. Who opposes the fair competi-
tion bills # ? ? and why?
Answer. Truckers and bargellnes who don't
relish fair competition with the railroads.
These competitors have thrived behind the
regulatory barriers which allow them free-
dom to lower rates while denyin' the rail-
roads the same freedom. In the vital strug-
gle for the freight shipment dollar, the
postwar market has seen freight' volume
moving over rivers and canals .ncrease
nearly four times, and intercity truck traffic
increase nearly three times.
Question. What about regulating every-
body-exempting none?
Answer. Few will be misled by the truck-
ers and barge operators' call to extend regu-
lation when too much regulation now is the
disease. This is like prescribing wet feet and
a strong draft for a man who has caught
pneumonia. This industry already suffers
from too much regulation. The cure is less-
not more. The plain fact is that In a
dynamic, diversified economy, there 1s no
workable alternative to less regulation.
Question. But what about opposition
warnings of a "monopoly?"
Answer. This is a bogeyman whose horror
mask long since disappeared. Railroading's
19th century dominance of American trans-
portation has vanished forever In a top-to-
bottom change in traffic positions: Railroads
which once stood virtually alone in inland
transportation now must fight for business
with solidly established highway and water-
way carriers, pipelines and airlines and "do-
lt-yourself" carriers. In 1962, ICC regulated
intercity truckers took in more in gross
freight revenues than all the Nation's Class
I railroads. All intercity trucks put to-
gether, Including nonregulated and private
haulers, accounted for over twice as much
freight business as the railroads. Where
monoply once had been possible, monopoly
now is impossible.
Question. What protection will be provided
against unfair pricing?
Answer. President Kennedy has asked for
"the protection of the antitrust laws against
any destructive competition" The railroad
industry concurs with this objective. More-
over. existing ICC controls against discrimi-
nation In railroad ratemaking would be con-
tinued, as would those over railroad freight
