CONGRESSIONAL REC D ? SENATE
HAVE DECIDED TO REMAIN
He said at the time, "I have decided to re-
main in Baltimore because it seems to me,
after careful consideration of all the elements
in the case, that I can do my most effective
work at Hopkins."
The renowned surgeon came from a non-
medical family. His soft accent and the re-
laxed pace of his speech reflected his south-
ern origin. He was born in Culloden, Ga., in
1899, and decided at the age of 13 to become
a doctor after his father had been a patient
at the Hopkins.
Again, as might be expected, Dr. Blalock
was a man of many honors, and member-
ships.
HONORARY DEGREES
During his career, a, number of honorary
degrees were bestowed upon him by such
schools as Yale University, the University of
Turin, the University of Rochester, the Uni-
versity of Chicago, Lehigh University, Hamp-
den-Sydney College, Emory University, and
Georgetown University.
At one time or another, he held 10 ap-
pointments as visiting lecturer, professor, or
consultant to various medical institutions
around the world. He was on the editorial
boards of several medical journals, and be-
longed to a number of professional organiza-
tions.
ACADEMIES 'AND SOCIETIES
Dr. Blalock gave 42 endowed lectures dur-
ing his career, and held membership in more
than 45 medical socieities and fraternities.
He belonged to both the National Academy
of Sciences and "the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, was elected in 1963 to the
American Philosophical Society, elected in
1951 to the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, and was associe
etranger of the Academie des Sciences, In-
stitut de Prance.
Membership in the Institute of Prance is
an honor regarded as one of the highest
honors in the scientific world.
Perhaps the greatest honor came to Dr.
Blalock in 1949 when he was named as the
world's outstanding vascular surgeon by the
International Society of Surgery.
In 1960 he was awarded the Rudolph
Matas Award in Vascular Surgery, one of the
world's great honors for surgeons of the
heart and blood vessels.
The American Medical Association award-
ed him the highest honor it can bestow in
1953 when it named him for its Distin-
guished Service Award. He was, the 16th
American to'receive the award.
Modern Medicine magazine picked him in
1960 for one of its distinguished service cita-
tions. Election to the American Philosophi-
cal Society is one of the most prized aca-
demic honors in the country.
Winner of a number of local awards, Dr.
Blalock was cited in 1948 by the Advertising
Club of Baltimore as "man of the year."
BUILDING RENAMED FOR Him
And only this year, the Hopkins, to which
he gave so much, honored him by renaming
the Clinical Science Building the Bla-
lock Building.
Dr. Blalock, who lived at 117 Churchwar-
dens Road, was married twice. His first wife,
whom he married in 1930, was the former
Mary Chambers O'Bryan, who died in 1958
at the age of 49.
A year later, he married Mrs. Alice Seney
Waters, a widow.
Besides his wife, Dr. Blalock is survived
by three children, Mrs. William C. Sadtler,
William R. Blalock, assistant administra-
tor of the Hopkins Hospital, and Alfred
Dandy Blalock, and a- sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
Blackford.

A REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTA-
TION OF THE HUMPHREY AMEND-
MENT TO THE FOREIGN ASSIST-
ANCE ACT
Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, in
all the discussion about foreign assist-
ance, there is one area that has been
free of criticism, and in fact has enjoyed
the blessing of all Members of Congress.
I refer to what AID is doing to encourage
U.S. private enterprise to be more active-
ly engaged in our foreign assistance
efforts.
Here in the arena of private initiative,
competition becomes a matter of ideas as
well as commodities. We constantly are
in search for new and better ways of do-
ing things.
In this field the 'U.S. cooperatives, sav-
ings and loan associations, and credit
unions have an enviable record. They
are applying abroad the same know-how
and skills that have made them so suc-
cessful in our country.
I have received from Mr. David Bell,
the Administrator of AID, the third an-
nual report of our cooperative activities
In AID, for the fiscal year 1964. I am
delighted with our achievements.
These cooperative developments were
carried out under section 601 of the For-
eign Assistance Act of 1961. I proposed
this section of the act to make certain
that the people in charge of our foreign
aid would be aware of the good that co-
operatives, savings and loan associations,
and credit unions can do among the un-
derprivileged people in the emerging
countries.
U.S. cooperatives are engaged in a wide
range of activities. Our U.S. cooperative
enterprises now are helping in 48 coun-
tries.
What was only an idea 3 years ago is
a worldwide reality today. In the co-
operative idea, we are exporting one of
the finest products of a democratic so-
ciety. And the cooperative program is
not one of dollars, but of people.
During fiscal year 1964, AID obligated
only $13 million for technical assistance
for cooperative development and $52 mil-
lion for loans for cooperative-type proj-
ects. Our success was due in large meas-
ure to the skill and dedication of 360
cooperative technicians and consultants,
recruited from all parts of our Nation.
They took their know-how, their experi-
ence, and their missionary zeal with them
to foreign lands, and showed people how
they can do great things just by working
together. They were helped, of course,
by the people in these countries.
Their effectiveness was multiplied
many times by the people they had
trained to carry on. More than 27,000
persons received training in cooperative
subjects in AID-supported centers or
schools in Pent, Colombia, Venezuela, the
Central American countries, Uganda,
Kenya, Thailand, Korea, and Vietnam.
In this connection, we should not over-
look the dedication of the thousands of
Americans abroad who are working with
voluntary relief organizations. Thirty-
21783
one of the 242 voluntary relief agencies,
missions or foundations eligible to work
with AID in oversea programs included
the development of "cooperative credit
unions and loans" among their objectives:
This report provides one part of an
answer to our critics who declare that
AID does not reach down to the vast
masses of people. It also brings out the
importance of having nongovernment or-
ganizations participate in our foreign
assistance efforts. In its cooperative un-
dertakings, AID has tried to do as much
of the work as is feasible by contracts
with nongovernment organizations. In
the field of cooperative enterprise, these
organizations were mostly federations
representing many hundreds of local as-
sociations. They include:
National Farmers Union, National
Grange, National Council of Farmer Co-
-operatives, National Rural Electric Co-
operative Association, Credit Union
National Association, National League of
Insured Savings Associations, Founda-
tion for Cooperative Housing, and the
Cooperative League of the USA.
I wish time would permit me to call
the roll of new cooperative developments
that have been carried out under the
banner of AID during the past fiscal
year. The outstanding developments, of
course, have been in Latin America, un-
der the Alliance for Progress. And they
will continue to grow. Promising begin-
nings now are noticeable in Africa, and
there is a growing interest in the Far
East and Near East, south Asia regions.
There has been a substantial growth in
the formation of credit unions, savings
and loan associations, and housing co-
operatives. Rural electric cooperatives
were established in Colombia, Ecuador,
and Nicaragua. In Latin America, 1,100
credit unions have been organized. The
300,000 depositors, mostly from lower-
income families, have invested $12 mil-
lion in savings. The '77 savings and loan
associations have financed nearly 22,000
new homes.
This is a report of what we are doing
in the new and developing countries. I
would be remiss, -however, if I did not
mention an event which took place in our
capital city this week. There were 80
campesinos?young farm leaders?in our
city. They were not tourists. They had
just completed 6 months of living and
working on our farms in the Middle
West.
They learned for themselves how our
institutions work. They learned that life
Is not all peaches and cream here. They
shared the good things, and took part in
the townhall meetings, and the coopera-
tive sessions. They went to church and
to school. They learned what Main
Street is like. They saw what makes
America tick. There was sweat and hard
work, leisure and fun, and the kind of
life that goes on in small towns and rural
areas all over America.
These 80 young farm leaders came
from Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and
Venezuela. They were here as part of an
AID project, carried out under a con-
tract with the National Farmers Union.

21784 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE
These young farmers understand what
makes America the land of the free and
the home of the -brave, understand bet-
ter how democracy works, and how the
people do have a voice in running their
business and their country. This too, is
what this report suggests.
Cooperatives can be a source for de-
veloping new leadership, which is a wel-
come element when older institutions
and authorities are being replaced by
new structures and new loyalties. They
are a strong factor in social and national
cohesion. They bring people together
for constructive purposes,. and break
down isolation and factional hostilities
that so often hamper development in
new countries.
What is extremely significant, too, is
that in the emerging countries, coopera-
tive development is a means of strength-
ening the private enterprise economy,
and many of the emerging countries are
aware of this. It is the simplest and
most direct means for helping people to
gain some positive economic advantages
through their own efforts.
I share with Mr. Bell his observation
that "marshaling the human, material,
and financial resources of the U.S. co-
operative organizations can, we believe,
help provide the know-how and the seed
capital essential to the development of
sound self-help measures by people in
developing countries."
Mr. President, in order to make this
document available for use of the many
people and organizations interested, I
introduce, for appropriate reference, a
resolution providing that this Third
Annual Cooperative Report to the Con-
gress on the Implementation of the
Humphrey Amendment to the Foreign
Assistance Act 00961 be printed as a
Senate document.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tem-
pore. The resolution will be received,
printed, and appropriately referred.
The resolution (S. Res. 371) was re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules and
Administration, as follows:
Resolved, .That there shall be printed as a
Senate document the third annual report to
the Congress on the implementation of the
Humphrey amendment, prepared by the
Agency for International Development, fiscal
year 1964, and that an additional five thou-
sand copies be printed for use by the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations.

THE SERVICE CORPS OF RETIRED
EXECUTIVES (SCORE) ?NEW OR-
GANIZATION OF THE SMALL BUSI-
NESS ADMINISTRATION
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, a
short time ago, the Small Business Ad-
ministration undertook to launch a new
program known as SCORE. SCORE
stands for "Service Corps of Retired Ex-
ecutives."
Under this program, retired executives
will call on small businessmen and give
them the benefit of their management
know-how.
I ask unanimous consent to ha.ve
printed in the RECORD an article about
this new organization published in the
September 13 issue of the New York
Times.
? There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
SMALL BUSINESSES To TAP THE RETIRED FOR
EXECUTIVE SKILL
(By Edward Cowan)
WASHINGTON, September 12.7-The Gov-
ernment anounced today that more than
1,100 retired executives have signed up as
volunteer consultants who will try to help
small businesses find the road to greater sales
and profits.
Under the aegis of the Small Business
Administration, they will make up the Serv-
ice Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE).
They will advise struggling small business-
men eager for help, said Eugene P. Foley, Ad-
ministrator of the SBA.
The agency will assign the volunteers pri-
marily to companies and proprietors who
have borrowed money from the SBA or who
will obtain loans under the 1964 Economic
Opportunity Act. The act is the corner-
stone legislation of President Johnson's anti-
poverty program.
In pilot projects in Boston and Washing-
ton, consultants have been assigned to 32
companies. The counseling program will
be formally started nationally on October
5 in New York and other cities.
On that day, SBA field office officials will
meet with SCORE volunteers, civic leaders
and small businessmen to discuss how to
put the program into operation.
September 22
The basic idea of the program is to make
available to small concerns and individual
proprietors the know-how of retired men
who themselves were successful entrepre-
neurs and corporation executives. Account-
ants, lawyers, and marketing specialists also
are wanted for the program.
While the SBA has not flatly ruled out
assigning a volunteer to any businessman
who cannot afford to hire a professional
consultant, it wants to concentrate the talent
available on companies that have borrowed
money from the Government.
One reason for doing so is to increase the
prospects for repayment of the loan. An-
other is the SBA already has much informa-
tion about such companies.
One of the agency's major problems may
be determining which volunteers are unqual-
ified to be consultants. While the agency
has attempted to direct its recruiting ap-
peal to men of proved accomplishments, of-
ficials recognize that some of the retired
men who volunteer may be more bored than
competent.
LOCAL CREDIT CHECKS
Local credit checks may turn up some
useful information about the applicants.
Routine Federal Bureau of Investigation
checks presumably will identify any volun-
teers who have unsavory backgrounds.
The agency is loath to undertake any ex-
tensive evaluation program because of the
manpower, money, paperwork, and delay it
would involve. Screening procedures so far
are intended primarily to determine the na-
ture of volunteers' talent and experience, in
order to assign them to cases they will be
most qualified to work on.
For example, Sidney Klein, the founder of
S. Klein's department store in New York,
has been working with small retailers in
Washington. Lt. T. White, who directed
training programs for Cities Service gasoline
station managers, will perform similar duties
for SCORE.
The volunteers will serve without pay.
The agency plans to assign them to cases in
their hometowns, to,
avoiding travel
expenses.
About 20 percent of the recruits so far
have come from the New York area. Most
needed are volunteers from outside the big
urban areas?from Maine, the Rocky Moun-
tain States, and Mississippi, for example, an
official said.
While the SBA's definition of a small busi-
ness is not rigid, Mr. Foley said the typical
counseling case would involve a concern with
fewer than 25 employees.
THE' NATION'S UNFINISHED BUSI-
NESS?ADDRESS BY GEORGE
MEANY
Mr. McNAMARA. Mr. President, one
of our Nation's greatest strength is that
it has a labor movement dedicated to the
betterment of our social and economic
society.
As the major spokesman for the Amer-
ican labor movement, AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany in his Labor Day ad-
dress this year placed in perspective the
work of Congress and the unfinished
work before us.
His message is a tribute to our efforts
and accomplishments. It also is a re-
minder of what remains to be done.
? I ask unanimous consent that the text
of Mr. Meany's remarks be printed at
this point in the body of the RECORD.
There being no objection, the remarks
were ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
