amendment and make it the pending
business. I am not prepared to debate
it tonight. I should like the majority
leader to give us his wishes.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, in
response to the question of the distin-
guished senior Senator from New York,
there will be no more votes tonight, be-
cause I think we are all pretty tired.
However, I ask unanimous consent
that when the Senate completes its busi-
ness today, it stand in recess until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.
BYRD of Virginia in the chair). Is there
objection? The Chair hears none, and
it is so ordered.
Mr. MANSFIELD. For the Informa-
tion of the Senate, there will be no
morning hour, and at 10 o'clock, at the
conclusion of the prayer and the reading
of the Journal, we will go directly on the
bill and the Javits amendment, which I
understand will be the pending business
at that time.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I call up
my amendment No. 759 and ask unani-
mous consent that debate on it may be
suspended until tomorrow.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is
there objection to the request of the
Senator from New York? The Chair
hears none, and it is so ordered. The
amendment will be stated.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the reading of
the amendment may be dispensed with
but that it be printed at this point in the
RECORD.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
The amendment (No. 759) is as fol-

Although the struggle in Vietnam has
paralleled the life of the United Nations, that
body has been neither willing nor seemingly
able to influence the course of events there.
From 1945-54 the Vietnamese struggle cen-
tered on the issue of colonialism and the
political question of self-determination.
After the defeat of French military forces at
Dienbienphu, the cease-fire and Geneva
Accords of 1954 ended colonialism and di-
vided Vietnam into North and South with
provisions for subsequent elections. Such
elections were not held in either South Viet-
nam or in North Vietnam.
Since 1954 the struggle, often brutal and
cruel in character, has found its focus in
South Vietnam between forces vying for con-
trol of South Vietnam. Each side has re-
ceived and is receiving external assistance.
More recently the conflict has been brought
into North Vietnam, especially through air-
bombing.

ably housing starts and automobile sales,
have fallen off badly.
I think it is generally realized that
high interest rates cannot really regu-
late the economy. Reliance upon high
and higher interest rates to curb inflation
has brought imbalances and inequities.
Everyone is waiting for the President,
with the power and prestige of the Office
of President, backed up as he is by the
wealth of talent in the Council of Eco-
nomic Advisers, the Treasury Depart-
ment, various agencies with credit and
debt management functions to provide
the leadership that is needed and neces-
sary to bring down usurious interest
rates. The acuteness of the need for
such Presidential leadership is "illus-
trated by the fact that Johnson interest
rates are now higher than Hoover rates,
higher now that at any time in 45 years.

no right to examine the problem, or that
United Nations action would be Inappropri-
ate, or that the "Purposes and Principles" of
the United Nations Charter set forth merely
general principles rather than more substan-
tive obligations.
Technicians can while away weeks, months
and years on the meaning of the same words
in different contexts or on thediffering legal
interpretations of similar actions as employed
by varying agencies of the United Nations.
In the meantime men, women and chil-
dren are being killed in a war which hope-
fully could be terminated through a collec-
tive will to act on the part of member nations
of the United Nations.
It would be difficult to find phrases more
descriptive of the United Nations purposes
than "to maintain international peace" and
"self-determination of peoples." The entire
universe is now aware that Vietnam consti-
tutes a continuing threat to world order-
the kind of threat which may lead to univer-
sal conflagration. The principals in the Viet-
namese struggle readily concede that the
basic question at issue is that of the right of
the people of South Vietnam to determine
their own fate.
In such situation there should exist an
avenue of appeal to some supreme interna-
tional authority, as far removed as possible
from political passions, which can function
in a mediatory or conciliatory capacity. The
United Nations must serve such purpose
until a better framework is created.
What has become of the promise of San
Francisco in 1945 which began:
"We the peoples of the United Nations
determined to save succeeding generations
from the scourge of war, which twice in our
lifetime has brought untold sorrow to man-
kind ... ?"
On June 30, 1936 Haile Selassie made a
memorable address before the Assembly of
the League of Nations pleading for the
League's intervention, which was not forth-
coming. The League subsequently failed
and World War II followed shortly thereafter.
The last words of Haile Selassie's fervent
pleas ever since have haunted mankind:
"Representatives of the world . What
answer am r to take back to my people?"

I have no doubt that if further names
come before the Senate for its advice and
consent with respect to confirmation, the
hearings in the Committee on Foreign
Relations will be sufficiently extensive
to develop to what extent these gentle-

Mr. President, I am confident, at least
with respect to one of the nominations
now pending before the Committee on
Foreign Relations, that there will be ex-
tensive debate on the floor of the Senate
with respect to whether the individual-
who is gentleman of great ability and

so obsolete an attitude toward foreign
policy that his confirmation might be
inadvisable.

JOHNSON WEIGHS APPOINTMENTS TO Top
STATE DEPARTMENT POSTS
(By Richard Eder)
WASHINGTON, August 24.-President John-
son said today that he was nearing a decision
on restafflng the rapidly emptying top eche-
lon of the State Department, but gave no
hint as to his choices.
The President announced at his news con-
ference that he had "tentatively selected" a
successor to Thomas C. Mann, who :resigned
in April as Under Secretary for Economic Af-
fairs, the department's third-ranking post.
[Question 16, Page 18.1
Mr. Johnson said that he would probably
not disclose his choice until after U. Alexis
Johnson, who ranks fourth in the department
as Deputy Under Secretary for Political Af-
fairs, was confirmed by the Senate as Am-
bassador to Japan.
Saying that "there will be several an-
nouncements there" the President appeared
to indicate that he would announce the
Deputy Under Secretary's successor at the
same time.
The President said that there would be one
or two other vacancies to be filled "below the
Secretary of State." He thus foreshadowed
the impending resignation of Under Secre-
tary George W. Ball, and gave substance to
reports that William J. Crockett, Deputy Un-
der Secretary for Administration, was plan-
ning to leave the department.
The President also announced the nomina-
tion of John S. Hayes, a broadcasting execu-
tive, as Ambassador to Switzerland. One or
two other ambassadorial appointments will
be announced, he said, as soon as the coun-
tries to which the prospective ambassadors
are destined have accepted them.
Mr. Johnson's disclosure that he had a
candidate to fill one of the State Depart-
ment's under secretaryships sharpened spec-
ulation here as to what the department's
complexion would be once he had completed
its most extensive reshuffling in many years.
Mr. Johnson's reference to changes below
the secretary level made it clear that he in-
tended, to keep Dean Rusk where he is. The
changes involve the three top policy posts
under Mr. Rusk, and, If Mr. Crockett leaves,
the top administrative post as well.
It is considered virtually certain that Alexis
Johnsen, who coordinates state operations in
Vietnam and other critical areas with those
of agencies such as the Defense Department
and the Central Intelligence Agency, will be
succeede-1 by a career Foreign Service officer.
It is believed likely that a career officer will
also fill the second under secretaryship--that
formerly held by Mr. Mann.
25, 1966
Although speculatidn has ranged widely,
the men most commonly mentioned for the
two jobs-with no clear estimate of which
man would get which job-are Lucius D.
Battle, now Ambassador to the United. Arab
Republic, and Douglas MacArthur 2d, who is
Assistant Secretary for Congressional Rela-
tions.
Two other names mentioned frequently,
but somewhat less insistently, are those of
William P. Bundy, Assistant Secretary for
Far Eastern Affairs, and Ridgway B. Knight,
Ambassador to Belgium..
The most important choice, however, and
one about which there is little informed
speculating, is that of a successor to Under
Secretary Ball.
There has been something of a tradition of
choosing an Under Secretary whose views
and style complement, if they do not con-
tradict, those of the secretary.
Mr. Ball, for example, has argued for a more
flexible policy on Vietnam than that advo-
cated by Mr. Rusk and he was an advocate of
close European cooperation, a subject that
Mr. Rusk tends to leave alone.
Clark Clifford, a foreign policy adviser to
Presidents Truman, Kennedy and Johnson,
was reportedly a strong choice for the post.
His health is not good, however, and his
appointment is now being discounted.
Observers here suggest that the President
is looking for a candidate who will bring, If
not actually a fresh approach, at least some-
thing of a fresh image. to the department.
They suggest further that he should have
somewhat more appeal to liberals in the
Senate and elsewhere than the battle-worn
figure of Mr. Rusk does.
APPROPRIATIONS FOR DEPART-
MENT OF AGRICULTURE-CON-
FERENCE REPORT
Mr. HART. Mr. President, I was un-
fortunately detained off the floor yester-
day at the time the Senate adopted and
thus cleared for the President the con-
ference report on appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture. If I could
have been present, I would have liked
to have made the following comment.
While overall the legislation as sent to
the President has much to commend it,
I am disappointed that cut from the bill
was the amendment which I sponsored
to provide an additional $2.5 million for
school lunches in needy areas.
Mr. President, what disturbs me about
this situation is that while we have been
responsible in providing funds for the
school lunch program as a whole-and
this means lunches in suburbia and in
the well-to-do neighborhoods as well as
in the low-income areas-we are short-
changing the schools in the poor areas
where a high percentage of the children
need the free or low-cost lunch. The
able Senator from South Dakota [Mr.
MCGOVERN] inserted in the RECORD a
most compelling example of the need and
value of this effort when the amendment
was being considered-RECORD page
15118. He reported on the Annunciation
Grade School of Denver, Colo.
Our sense of values is open to ques-
tion if we are not able to see the need
for additional expenditure in low-income
neighborhoods. The hearings being con-
ducted by the Senator from Connecticut
[Mr. RIBICOFF] have made a real con-
tribution in given us an idea of the scope

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD --APPENDIX August 25, 1966
"You can compare Marx with a doctor who
prescribes a cure for a disease he doesn't
understand," one Greek official told me. "He
wrote his book in the early days of the indus-
trial revolution. He did not know what was
wrong and why. He prescribed a blindfold
cure. It was all nonsense."
The economics of the much ballyhooed
tourist boom in Bulgaria and Romania was
explained to me by an expert in Greek tour-
ism which has become a fine art in this
country.
The Greeks figure that in order to make
money a hotel must be busy eight months
a year.
On the Communist Black Sea coast the
weather dictates a season of three to three
and a half months. This means that they
are operating at a loss. There is no remedy.
But the Reds continue to build hotels and
the more they build the more they lose.
In their anguish to get hard currencies,
both Romania and Bulgaria are offering bar-
gain prices for tourists from Western Europe.
For $200 or $250 one can get from Paris
to Mamaia or Varna and back and spend
three weeks at a Black Sea resort. This im-
plies a very heavy loss, to their economies.
"It wouldn't be so bad," said one woman
who spent a few days at a Bulgarian resort,
"but the life there is so boring. There is
nothing to do after one comes back from the
beach-nowhere to go, nothing to see, noth-
ing to buy that one wants or can use, no
natives to talk to because they are kept away
from foreigners.
"That is no vacation."
In economic terms this means that the
losses Incurred to the Communist economies
by Government "give away" tourist programs,
cannot be compensated in other ways.
From the Greek frontier to Sophia, the
capital of Bulgaria there are 100 miles of bad
road.
"You can't even get a cup of coffee on that
road and there are only two gas stations,"
said the woman.
Doesn't this cut-rate Communist tourism
compete with Greece's own business?
"Not really," said the Athens officials. "We
cater to a different type of tourist, people
who enjoy comfort, good food, good roads,
good hotels, good sport."
The Greeks provide accommodations for
the less well-heeled tourists. There are
hotels and camps on the mainland and
around the islands. Many artists, students,
etc. come here to work, study or relax.
"Don't forget, people don't come to Greece
only for the bathing. There are many things
to see of great historical and archeological
value.
"This is a year-round tourist land."
Can the Communists continue to operate
Indefinitely at a loss in the face of this Greek
competition?
"Of course not," laughed the Athens of-
flcial. "You cannot spend yourself rich."
From the Aurora Beacon-News, Aug. 4, 19661
DumiTRU DANIELOPOL COMMENTS-GREEKS
TRADE ON BARTER BASIS
ATHENS, GREECE.-"East-West trade a la
Grec" operates differently from that of other
Western countries, especially Britain.
The Greeks exchange goods with their Red
neighbors under clearing agreements, strictly
on a barter basis. They grant no credits.
And they are not likely to be caught with
large credit balances if the Communists de-
fault in their payments.
With their economies teetering danger-
ously, East European satellites are anxious
to get long term credits from the West.
"All Communist governments know that
their economies have failed," said a British
expert on Eastern Europe recently. "They
are trying hard to bring remedies. Will they
be successful? No one knows."
Yet Britain continues to export to Eastern
Europe on long credit terms.
"We don't do that," said Xenofon Zolotas,
governor of the Bank of Greece. "We work
strictly on a barter basis. If we don't find
anything to buy, we stop selling."
"We buy meat and other anima]: products
from Romania and Bulgaria," said another
government official. "We need high protein
foods. They want to sell us tractors. Every
one of the Communist countries produces
tractors which they cannot sell."
In their haste for Stalinist-type industrial-
ization. the Communist satelliies are over-
industrialized-at least in terms of their in-
ternal market. They have pauperized the
majority of the population, especially the
peasants.
"Their economies are out of balance," ex-
plained the London expert.
The Greeks refuse the Communist tractors
because they prefer Western manufactures.
"They are of a better quality and design,"
one official said. "The Communists offer
theirs at bargain prices, but we still don't
want them."
"Below cost price?"
"Of course; they would sell them at a loss.
They need Western currency desperately."
The Romanians wanted to buy wheat from
Greece some time ago, but the Greeks re-
fused to sell.
"'We want dollars for our wheat;, but the
Romanians had none," he explained.
When brain-washed Communists go to
Greece and see the prosperity and activity
in this non-Communist land they gasp with
surprise.
Red diplomats have complained that the
Greek workers who came to help in the em-
bassies--plumbers, carpenters, painters-
were "exploiting" them. Their prices were
too high, the diplomats said.
The Greek government ordered an inquiry.
They found that the workers were charging
strictly Greek prices,
The Communists gasped. They couldn't
believe Greek workers were so well paid.
Greek wages are between two and three
times higher than those paid in Commu-
nist countries.
"The standard of living in the 'workers
paradise' is appalling," said a Greek mer-
chant.
While meat and other protein foods are
rationed in the satellite countries, their Red
governments export them to Greece, Spain
and other countries.
"Is there a remedy?" I asked.
"Not under Marxist ideology," was the an-
swer.
A Glorious Age Without Money
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JAMES H. (JIMMY) QUILLEN
OF TENNESSEE
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, August 22, 1966
Mr. QUILLEN. Mr. Speaker, it seems
that we are finding no limit to our In-
genu.ity when it comes to buying now and
paying later.
This administration has set a fine ex-
ample in how this can be done, and as
the following editorial from the :Bristol,
Tenn., Herald Courier indicates, new
credit schemes appear endless.
This is really not a laughing matter.
It is time we got down to serious deliber-
ations and reversed this trend before it
runs over us.
A GLORIOUS AGE WITHOUT MONEY
One of the glaring deficiencies in the Great
Society is that there are still a few things--
not many, of course, but a few-that you
have to pay cash for.
It is a pleasure to report that this economic
oversight is now being corrected.
In the near future it will be possible to
walk up to your friendly vending machine
and buy such necessities as candy, sand-
wiches, coffee, desserts and other delicacies
without spending a cent of real money.
You will merely present a permanent credit
card which the vending machine registers by
means of an electronic device.
The company which plans to introduce this
further step toward total on-the-cuff. living
concedes that use of the wonder machines
may be limited at first to Institutions and
industrial plants, for the very practical rea-
son that it will cost a lot of-forgive the
expression-cash to install them.
An elaborate electronic memory unit and
a computer will be needed to enable the
vending machine to sell stuff on tick.
This paraphernalia will cost about $2,000
in addition to the price of the vending ma-
chines, which itself isn't peanuts.
With this break-through in the currency
curtain, it will undoubtedly be only a matter
of time until such other irritating cash items
as public phone calls, toll fares, parking
meters and similar hangovers from medieval
living will be eliminated and we can enjoy
a glorious age in which we can charge every-
thing now and pay later.
The ultimate Utopia will come, of course,
when some supergenius figures out a way to
charge now and never pay later.
Then society will really be great!

THE LATE HONORABLE WADE
HAMPTON KITCHENS
(Mr. MILLS asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1
minute.)
duty to announce to the House the pass-
ing on Monday last of one of our es-
teemed former colleagues.
Wade Hampton Kitchens, attorney,
statesman, and veteran of three wars,
passed away August 22 at the age of.
87.
Wade Hampton Kitchens was a Mem-
ber of the House during the 75th and
76th Congresses, from 1936 to 1940, and
was a member of the Arkansas General
Assembly for two terms.
Mr. Kitchens was a veteran of three
wars-the Spanish American War, the
Philippine Insurrection, and World War
I. He was a member of the bar of the
States of Arkansas, Tennessee, and Okla-
homa, as well as a member of the Phil-
ippine bar. With the exception of the
period of his military service, he prac-
ticed law in Magnolia, Ark., from 1909
until 2 years ago when illness forced
him to retire.
Mr. Kitchens was born in Nevada
County, the oldest of 12 children of
James Monroe and Margarette Sherrill
Kitchens. He attended the University
of Arkansas, Southwestern Academy
in Magnolia, and received his law degree
from Cumberland University. He had
taught school in Columbia County.
Following the Philippine Insurrection,
Mr. Kitchens practiced law in Lingayen,
Pangasanin Province, Philippine Islands,
for 7 years. Then, he his wife, nee Lillie
Dempsey of Waldo, and his son, Wade
Hampton Kitchens, Jr., returned to the
United States in 1909.
He volunteered in the 2d Arkansas Na-
tional Guard as an enlisted man during
World War I. He helped to organize a
company of 162 men and was elected
their captain. He was commissioned by
Governor Brough as captain of K Com-
pany, 3d Arkansas National Guard, and
by President Woodrow Wilson in August
1917 as captain of K Company, 154th
Infantry, and served throughout World
War I for 2 years, 1 year in this country
and 1 year in Europe. In 1917 he was
selected from among over 1,500 officers
and sent to Washington to a conference
attended by the Honorable Newton D.
Baker, Secretary of War; the Honorable
Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, and others. This
conference was concerning the insurance
of soldiers' allotments and allowances to
their dependents while at war.
Wade Kitchens was a member of the
Central Baptist Church. He is survived
by one daughter, Mrs. Gladys Pickens of
Magnolia, five grandchildren, and six
brothers and sisters.
Military services were held for him at
4 p.m. Tuesday, at Lewis Funeral Home,
Magnolia, by American Legion Post No.
3, of which he was a member. Inter-
ment was in Columbia Cemetery near his
birthplace.

I am sure that all Members who had
the privilege of knowing Wade Kitchens
join me in extending condolences and
deepest sympathy to his surviving family.
TRIBUTE TO WADE KITCHENS, SR.
(Mr. GATHINGS asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. GATHINGS. Mr. Speaker, it was
with regret that I learned of the passing
of Wade Kitchens, Sr. I served with him
in the 76th Congress, which was my first
term here. Wade Kitchens offered me
kindly advice and assisted me greatly in
my work as a new Member of the House.
I needed his counsel and he was ever
ready to offer it.
He was a lawyer and a soldier of re-
nown. He was admitted to the bar after
his graduation from Cumberland Law
School, Lebannon, Tenn., in the State of
Tennessee, and later in the States of
Arkansas and Oklahoma, and finally in
the Philippine Islands where he prac-
ticed for 7 years. He served for 2 years
in the Spanish-American War and saw
service in the Philippine insurrection.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army when
trouble broke out in Europe, and was
commissioned a captain of infantry by
President Woodrow Wilson. His service
during World War I consisted of 1 year
in the United States and 1 year in the
European theater.
Wade Kitchens served the Seventh
District of the State of Arkansas in the
House of Representatives with honor and
distinction. The district at that time
consisted of the counties of Ashley, Brad-
ley, Calhoun, Chicot, Clark, Columbia,
Hempstead, Lafayette, Nevada, Oua-
chita, and Union.
He worked for flood control improve'
ments on the Ouachita River and for the
betterment of agriculture. He interested
himself in legislation with respect to the
natural resources of his native State,
including most especially problems hav-
ing to do with the production and re-
fining of oil and natural gas. He was a
dedicated and devoted public servant.
He possessed a pleasing personality and a
sense of humor which endeared him to
his colleagues.
Mrs. Gathings joins me in extending
sympathy to his daughter, Mrs. Gladys
Pickens of Magnolia, Ark., and to his
grandchildren.
GENERAL LEAVE TO EXTEND
Mr. MILLS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unan-
imous consent that all Members desiring
to do so may extend their remarks at this
point in the RECORD on the subject of the
passing of Wade Kitchens, Sr.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Arkansas?
There was no objection.
INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF EX-
PLORATION EXPENDITURES IN
THE CASE OF MINING
Mr. MILLS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unani-
mous consent to take from the Speaker's
table the bill H.R. 4665 relating to the
income tax treatment of exploration ex-
penditures in the case of mining, with
the Senate amendments thereto, dis-
agree to the Senate amendments, and
request a conference with the Senate.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Ar-
kansas? The Chair hears none and ap-
points the following conferees: Messrs.
MILLS, KING of California, BOGGS, KEOGH,
BYRNES of Wisconsin, and UTT.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
(Mr. HANSEN of Iowa asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. HANSEN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker,
yesterday, August 24, 1966, the House of
Representatives considered and acted
upon the conference report on H.R.
14596, making appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture and related
agencies for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1967, and for other purposes.
Due to a conflicting commitment, I
was not present during the consideration
and action upon the conference report.
Had I been present, I would have voted
..yea.'
A PLEA TO THE PROFIT TAKERS
(Mr. RONCALIO asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute, and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. RONCALIO. Mr. Speaker, when
we of this 89th Congress passed the GI
bill, It was our hope that a great oppor-
tunity could be provided for veterans who
now serve their country so unselfishly
in these difficult days. However, Mr.
Speaker, we are finding from many cold
war GI returnees in the Rocky Mountain
States the development of a pattern that
is most disturbing. Home vendors in
these difficult times because of the tight
money policies, because of climbing in-
terest rates, are apparently placing one
price on a house to an ordinary buyer
and a second price on the house when a
cold war veteran tries to buy it on GI
financing.
Sellers attempt to justify this double
standard by saying that a high dividend
must be paid by the seller; also stating
that without larger downpayments the
overall price must be increased some-
what. Mr. Speaker, while this, of course,
is brought on in part by the unreasonably
high rates these days, all of it does re-
mind me of Abraham Lincoln's tearful
observations upon the men taking too
high and too fat a profit during the Civil
War:
Where the carcass is, there will the eagles
be gathered!
CORRECTION OF ROLLCALL VOTE
Mr. DAVIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker,
I ask unanimous consent that the per-
manent RECORD and Journal be corrected
to show that I did not vote "yea" and
rollcall No. 234 on August 22, 1966.
I was out of the city and did not vote
on the motion to recommit H.R. 16340,
though the RECORD reports that I voted
for the motion.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Geor-
gia?
There was no-objection.
THE PLANES ARE IN THE AIR
(Mr. STAGGERS asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. STAGGERS. Mr. Speaker, after
6 weeks of idleness, five major airlines
are once more in operation; their planes
are in the air; passengers, air freight,
and mail are speeding to their respective
destinations; wages are accruing to the
credit of thousands of employees; reve-
nues are flowing Into the coffers of the
various companies. Nobody lost this
strike; nobody was penalized; nobody
was coerced; nobody was victimized; no-
body lost face. The good old American
system of free enterprise, free bargain-
ing, and settlement of differences by ne-
gotiation has once again been vindicated.
It works. Without passing judgment on
the merits or demerits of the terms of
settlement, it is fair to say that every-
body concerned gained stature during
the struggle.
Almost at the start, the House Com-
merce Committee was thrust into the
vortex of the storm. Mr. Speaker, I want
to pay tribute to the courage and deter-
mination of the members of this com-
mittee. They were buffeted by the winds
of advice and demand from every quar-
ter of the economic and political environ-
ment. The pressure kept up without
intermission for days. But they took
no counsel of hysteria, or panic, or ex-
asperation.
On the contrary, they pressed on with
unwavering steadiness and irresistible
patience toward a settlement. Through-
out the negotiations, they comported
themselves, to a man, in the finest tradi-
tions of responsible American statesman-
ship. I am proud to be a member of this
committee. Its courage and judgment
have been tried in the hot fires of con-
tention, and proved to be the real mettle.
CORRECTION OF VOTE
Mr. HALPERN. Mr. Speaker, On roll-
call No. 238 I am recorded as voting
"nay." I was present and voted "yea."
I ask unanimous consent that the per-
manent RECORD and Journal be corrected
accordingly.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from New

remarks.)

But even if there is to be a long and siz-
able war rather than a phase one struggle,
only such a Government could make South
Vietnam an effective partner in waging and
winning it. And if there is, after all, a nego-
tiated settlement, only such a government
could absorb the disciplined cadres of the
Vietcong, whether as a recognized political
body or as unreconciled revolutionaries.
A GOOD TURNOUT NEEDED
In the shorter run, the Sept. 11 elections
also could prove important in themselves if,
in the face of what is expected to be a deter-
mined Vietcong effort to disrupt and stifle
the voting, there is a sizable turnout-say,
something like half of those eligible.
That would indicate that the Vietcong do
not control as much of the populace as many
believe. And it would suggest that a large
number of South Vietnamese believe enough
in a future for their country to take a hand
in shaping it-despite terrorism on the one
AN ALL-ASIAN PEACE CONFERENCE:
AN IDEA WORTH FOSTERING
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, the idea
of an all-Asia Peace Conference to bring
about a negotiated settlement of the
Vietnam conflict is an idea worth fos-
tering-despite the fact that Hanoi and
Peking have initially rejected it. The
initiator of this idea, Charles Percy, of
Illinois, is to be commended. The value
of this initiative is demonstrated by the
fact that many persons intimately con-
cerned with foreign affairs have risen to
support it. Most notable among them
are: Thanat ?Khoman, Thailand's For-
eign Minister, ex-President Eisenhower
and former Vice President Nixon, a num-
ber of Senators and Congressmen from
both parties, and as recently as yester-
day, President Johnson.
Though there may be little likelihood
in the foreseeable future for a nego-
tiated settlement in Vietnam, this does
not relieve us of the responsibility of
seeking peace by all possible means.
Even though Peking, Hanoi, and the Na-
tional Liberation Front refuse to talk
about anything but total South Viet-
namese and U.S. concessions, our uncon-
ditional offer of peace talks must stand.
Only by doing so, can we convince the
world that our intentions are honorable.
I have always maintained that the best
way to solve regional problems is by the
regional approach, and I have argued
that regionalism represents the most
vital kind of reality in contemporary in-
ternational affairs. For, regionalism is
the most productive and acceptable way
for nations with common problems and
objectives to join their resources and
energies into a common effort.
Beginnings of regionalism are already
apparent in Asia. Three such groupings
are of particular importance. First,
there is the Asian Bank, a project which
has been enthusiastically received by
Asian and Western countries alike. The
Asian Bank with an initial capitalization
of $200 million for the first year will be
an ongoing operation as of January 1967.
Its full acceptance by Asians indicates
that it will be only a first step in.the di-
rection of greater economic cooperation.
A second Asian grouping, one that is
being revitalized, is the Association of
Southeast Asia, composed of Thailand,
Malaysia, and the Philippines. This
small grouping intends to extend its co-
operation to all enterprises-political,
economic, military, and technical.
There has been much talk of late about
the possibility of Indonesia joining this
group. If this occurs, it could be the
beginning of a solid and lasting nucleus
for wider Asia cooperation.
The third, a newly organized Asia and
Pacific Council-composed . of South
Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand, Republic of
China, Malaysia, South Vietnam and
Laos as an observer-may well be the pre-
cise instrument and organization
through which to implement the idea of
an all-Asian peace conference for Viet-
nam. If ASPAC's first meeting in Seoul,
Korea, is any indication of what this
do, it may develop into a regional orga-
nization capable of dealing with regional
security matters without direct U.S. par-
ticipation. It may if nurtured, instead
of being pushed into any rigid ideological
framework, be the means of bringing
peace to Vietnam.
FAIR LABOR STANDARDS AMEND-
MENTS OF 1966
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill (H.R. 13712) to amend the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 to extend its

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection., it is so ordered, and the clerk
will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call
the roll.
Mr. LONG of Louisiana. Mr. Presi-

"Therefore, I am today introducing a bill
to establish a National Commission on Pub-
lic Management. My bill is cosponsored by
Senators DOMINICK, ALLOTT, BENNETT, CASE,
FANNIN, JAVITS, KUCHEL, MORTON and TOWER.
A companion measure is being introduced
today in the other body by Representative
Moasz of Massachusetts and more than 40 of
his colleagues.
"This Commission would bring to bear on
the management of public business the very
best minds in private industry, government,
labor and education. Its mandate is to an-
swer two fundamental questions: can new
management technology aid us in solving
public problems? What is the best way to
do the job?
"This bill proposes that a National Com-
mission be appointed by the President in
order to study and recommend the manner
in which modern systems analysis and man-
agement techniques may be utilized to re-
solve national and community problems in
the non-defense sector.
"The Commission would be composed of a
Chairman, Vice Chairman and eleven other
members, who shall be experienced in the
subject matter to be studied by the Com-
mission, and shall include representatives
from government, business, labor and edu-
cation. In addition, the Commission may
appoint an Executive Director and any other
staff personnel required.
"The Commission would have an active
life of approximately two and one half years.
At the end of one year it would provide the
President and the Congress with a prelimi-
nary report including a precise description of
the problems, a preliminary analysis of the
applicability of these new management tech-
niques to a wide spectrum of public prob-
lems, and a detailed plan for continuing
study leading up to the final report. Then,
18 months later, the Commission would sub-
mit its final report, containing explicit plans,
including case examples, for applying par-
ticular management technology to specific
public problems. This report would also
contain recommendations for legislation,
Federal executive action, and State and local
governmental action needed to facilitate the
application of these techniques.
The Commission would study and investi-
gate the following major areas:
"1. Definition of those social and economic
problems to which the application of the
'systems approach' appears to hold promise.
"2. Analysis of the many modern manage-
ment techniques currently being used in the
aerospace field to determine those which are
best suited for application in the non-defense
sector and what modifications may be
required.
"3. An assessment of the proper relation-
ship between governmental and private in-
vestment in these areas, including the degree
of public involvement 'and the best proce-
dures for government support and funding.
"4. An assessment of the optimum orga-
nizational relationships among several levels
of governmental authorities,
"5, The role of small business and orga-
nized labor in the application of these new
management techniques.
"6. An assessment of potential contribu-
tions of the universities toward resolving
public management problems.
"The tasks of management in both public
and private enterprise have become more
complex due to the very nature of the prob-
lems inherent in a dynamic society such as
ours, and due, of course, to advances in
science and technology. The problems of
managing even the largest Federal programs
of a generation ago were small compared to
those of today. All levels of government-
Federal, State and local-are finding it in-
creasingly difficult to solve their complex
management problems on a piecemeal basis,
to a large extent because they lack the man-
agement techniques and skills that have been
applied so successfully in private industry.
"Although there are studies in process
dealing with the use of systems analysis in
several non-defense areas, the questions of
where and how the systems approach is most
applicable and the problems as to how these
can best be applied are still largely un-
answered. Those questions require the
attention of a Commission, appointed by the
President, to include the best minds in the
field of modern management technology.
"Some of our distinguished colleagues have
recently introduced legislation which would
authorize the expenditure of public funds,
either directly by Executive Departments or
through grants to the States, for contracts
with universities or other organizations
which would attempt to apply the systems
analysis approach to public problems. We
fully support our colleagues on the basic
issue of stimulating governmental support
for such endeavors, but we also believe that
a national commission is required first to
provide the overall analysis and informed
recommendations needed by all govern-
mental authorities who may have reason to
use the systems approach in the future.
"The significance of the proposal goes far
beyond the mere application of systems man-
agement and the new technology. The Com-
mission would be the first step in a major
new political departure. What is envisioned
is the application by private industry of
these new problem solving techniques to
public policy problems. By utilizing the vital
skills of private industry, under contract to
the government, it is possible at the same
time to solve these increasingly complex
problems and to attack informatively the
great problems presented by the constant
burgeoning of the Federal Government in its
multifarious aspects."
RIGHTS, LEADERS AND MARCHES
Mr. BYRD of West Virginia. Mr.
President, I ask unanimous consent to
insert in the RECORD an editorial, en-
titled "Rights, Leaders and Marches,"
which appeared in the August 23 edition
of the Washington Daily News.
There being no objection, the editorial
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD
as follows:
RIGHTS, LEADERS AND MARCHES
A half-dozen leaders of rival civil rights
organizations appeared Sunday on a national
TV show. The experience was not especially
instructive, nor necessarily constructive.
Most of these men dealt with tactics, rather
than goals.
Their views ranged all the way from the
realistic appraisal by Roy Wilkins of the
NAACP, who thinks progress is at work, even
if not fast enough or broad enough, to
Stokeley Carmichael of SNICK, as it is called,
who would burn down the granary to get at
the wheat. Or James Meredith, who talked
of Negro vigilantes.
Martin Luther King, leading the daily
demonstrations in Chicago, said a court in-
junction to limit the demonstrations was
"unjust, unconstitutional and immoral." He
implied he might obey it only temporarily.
The court restricted the demonstrations
to one at a time, to daylight hours, to 500
marchers and required the demonstrators to
give 24-hour notice.
In the circumstances, this was a judicious
limitation. Dr. King says the only purpose
of demonstrations is to "bring issues out
into the open," and with the public atten-
tion he gets one parade can do as much as a
dozen.
But the Chicago marches have been
marked by fierce violence. There is no logic
or excuse in this, but it puts a heavy load on
police. The court limitation is in protection
of the marchers.
Moreover, these marches in business streets
disrupt traffic, hampering the normal opera-
tions of those who live in the areas. These
people at least deserve reasonable notice of
the disruption. Rights are for all, not just
some, which is the principle Dr. King is try-
ing to prove.
These leaders could help their cause by
more resort to persuasion, education, per-
sistence and devotion to goal rather than
tactic; by being less abrasive, less menacing.
They have made their point: excesses could
blunt It.
ACTUAL FIGURES ON NEGRO-
WHITE ECONOMIC LEVELS
Mr. BYRD of West Virginia. Mr.
President, I ask unanimous consent to
insert in the RECORD a column by Bruce
Biossat, entitled "Actual Figures on
Negro-White Economic Levels," which
appeared in the August 19 edition of the
Washingotn Daily News.
There being no objection, the column
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
ACTUAL FIGURES ON NEGRO-WHITE ECONOMIC
LEVELS
(By Bruce Biossat)
Stokely Carmichael of the Student Non-
Violent Co-ordinating Committee seems to
be suggesting, in recent public utterances,
that most whites are comparatively well off
and nearly all Negroes are poor.
This generalization, if he intends his com-
ment to be that, represents a vast and mis-
leading over-simplification of white-Negro
economic status today.
It obscures the fact that in the last two
decades Negroes have made substantial-if
still greatly insufficient-economic progress.
It also conceals the fact that millions of
whites are very poor.
PERCENTAGES
Some social analysts consider a $6000-a-
year family income the entry point into the
steadily swelling American middle class. By
that measure, about a fourth of the nation's
5 million Negro families today fall into the
middle class category.
In 1940 the figure was only 10 per cent.
Even as recently as 1950 it was just 16 per
cent.
There can be no joy over the fact that this
clear progress still leaves 75 per cent of
Negro families below middle class levels and
36 per cent of the total below the $3000-a-
year family income plane-in abject pover-
ty. Yet, tho it cannot be a consolation, it is
instructive to note that 40 per cent of the
country's 45 million white families are like-
wise below middle class income levels, and
more than 14 per cent of white families be-
low the $3000 family income mark.
ACTUAL NUMBERS
These percentages, for whites, are much
lower, but the numbers are high. Some
3,750,000 Negro families fall short of middle
class. So do about 18,250,000 white fam-
ilies. Perhaps 6.5 million white families
classify as very poor.
Furthermore, with all the racial ferment
in U.S. cities, the notion has taken hold that
core-city slums today are almost totally
occupied by impoverished Negroes. Housing
studies show, however, that of 9 million U.S.
households living in squalor, some 6 million
are white. The Negro total is 2.3 million,
with Puerto Ricans and Mexicans accounting
for the rest.
Charges that Negroes are slipping farther
and farther behind in the income race with
whites do not seem to be supported by gov-
ernment income figures.
In 1947 the U.S. Negro family was earning
51 per cent as much as the typical white
family. A decade and a half later, the per-
centage had risen to 53 per cent. That is

not much "catching up," but neither is it
slipping back.
WOMEN'S GAINS
Income gains for Negro women workers
account for the modest advance, since male
Negro workers have held steady at around 55
to,57 per cent of white male workers' income.
What. holds the Negroes' income down
is the sharp pay differential between Negro
and White workers doing the same jobs.
Moreover, the proportionately older white
population has many more people in their
middle-range peak earning years than does
the young Negro population.
And, of course, the far higher Negro unem-
ployment rate, especially among teen-agers,
severely aggravates this situation.
Catching up obviously depends partly on
finding millions more jobs for Negroes and
partly on their elevation into more skilled
and professional jobs-at pay levels com-
mensurate with whites.
Nevertheless, median family income for
all Americans, white and Negro, rose roughly
45 per cent from 1947 to 1963 and is still
climbing. The Negroes' substantial, share in
this advance explains why more and more of
them continue, slowly but surely, to move
into the American middle class. They are
far from income parity with whites, but
they are on a persistently rising income
curve.
AN OPEN LETTER TO NEIGHBORS
IN SOUTHEAST'S 11TH PRECINCT
Mr. BYRD of West Virginia. Mr. Pres-
ident, I ask unanimous consent to insert
in the RECORD a letter written by a resi-
dent of Southeast Washington and ad-
dressed to his neighbors in the commu-
nity. The letter appeared in the August
18 edition of the Washington Daily
News.
There being no objection, the letter
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD
as follows:
AN OPEN LETTER TO NEIGHBORS IN SOUTII-
EAST'S 11TH PRECINCT
(The following letter was written by a
resident of southeast Washington, Ken
Smith, of 2422 Elvans Road se, addresed to
his neighbors in the community.)
I'm Poor, I'm not working, even. I'm
Negro. I'm a high school drop out. I
drink, I smoke and gamble, and I'm a product
of a broken home ... but I'm not a rebel.
I love you and my country and community.
I love life. I've seen police brutality first
hand; but on a larger scale I've seen citizen
brutality.
"Coming events cast their shadows before"
is one of the truest sayings in the world.
And anyone can say "I told you so" after
things get out of hand.
But I have a solution to our community
problem. It is this:
First remember, regardless of who you are,
if you look for trouble you'll find it. Second,
each and every one of you, white and colored,
stop and think, "What am I as an individual
doing for my community, not what is my
community doing for me?" Are you guilty Of
hanging on corners, creating a nuisance to
passers-by with rough language and horse-
play? Do you hang outside of the liquor
stores waiting for a sponsor to get your head
bad on cheap wine and beer?
Do you hang on your front steps looking
as unkempt and slovenly as you can? Do
you really give a damn where your children
are, or only when they are arrested? Do
you pull as many as five false alarms on a
given week-end night? Do you harass the
paper boys who are trying to lift them-
selves by their bootstraps, and take their
pennies?
Did you, in spite, break into the new
apartment building and tear things apart,
breaking windows, fixtures, and such? How There being no objection, the article
many windows did you break at ' Moten was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
School, Birney School? How many rides did as follows'

many muggings, party crashings, gangs, rapes
and :rumbles were you in on? (By Tom Wicker)
Did you come home drunk last Friday and
curse the neighbors, God and your own
family?
What did you do about the dirty apartment
fronts on Morris Road and other places? Did
you get up and stick the kids on the front
porch looking as lost as can be while you
caught another nap?
Well, most of us are guilty of some of these
things and the solution lies with the indi-
vidual. He presents his ideas to a group and
if his ideas are not right then the group's
ideas won't be right if they adopt his.
Don't demand until you are ready to offer.
Don't take until you are ready to give.
You are not born free socially, or economi-
cally. You are born free spiritually and it be-
hooves each and every one of you to put forth
the effort to be free socially and economically.
Youth is no excuse any more than age or
educational ignorance because we all know
what hurts us and if it hurts us it hurts
others also.
So get off the street corners and stoops, get
into the churches, Y's, community centers
and the like. Hold your heads up, look all
men in the eye and say I am as good as you
because I act it.
Just like the rioter's way of living leads to
early death and destruction, so does the
rioter's way of asking for help lead to death
of ideals and incentive and programs.
Don't let Chicago and Watts and Detroit
and Philadelphia be your guideline or ex-
ample. "To thine own self be true."
Remember this: orderly dissent is legal, it
is soul-searching, and it is productive. But
remember that "united we stand divided we
fall" means united in decency and purpose

VIETNAM: SOME UNVARNISHED
PACTS
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, in. an ar-
ticle which was published in the New
York Times on August 24, Tom Wicker
makes an important contribution to
shedding light on some of the unpleas-
ant, but nevertheless very real facts
about Vietnam. Mr. Wicker's article
takes almost precisely the position and
analysis on Vietnam which I myself
have been making for over a month.
There is little likelihood of a Vietnam
settlement in the foreseeable future by
either a peace conference or a series of
decisive military victories. Even when
our military force becomes predominant
in South Vietnam, when the Communists
discover that it is not militarily feasible
for them to operate in large units, it is
likely that they will revert to stage one,
or the guerrilla stage of Mao Tse-tung's
theory of guerrilla war. This, in turn,
points up the real challenges of its in-
surgency warfare, the real limitations of
force as the only solution to defeating
guerrillas.
The main role of force should be to
provide a shield of confidence behind
which the equally real war against social
and economic_ deprivation can go for-
ward. It is at the ballot box, through the
process of legitimizing government, and
through the worth of the daily lives of
the people that a guerrilla war Is won
or lost.
I ask unanimous consent to have Mr.
Wicker's article printed in the RECORD.
WASHINGTON, August 23.-Reports from
South Vietnam now indicate somewhat fewer
combat incidents involving large North Viet-
namese units and somewhat more guerrilla
and terrorist attacks than might have been
expected.
On its face, this could suggest that North
Vietnam and the Vietcong, discouraged at
the American force and firepower in the
field against them, are reverting to the so-
called "phase one" of a war of national lib-
eration-terror, assassination, intimidation
and political infiltration, waged by small
bands in the countryside.
THE ADMINISTRATION
This is not accepted here. Administration
officials-particularly the military-are in-
clined to think instead that the "spoiling
tactics" of American troops have been suc-
cessful enough to keep the opposition's main
force units off balance and unable to develop
anything like a general offensive.
Thus, guerrilla incidents make more of a
splash than they might otherwise. In addi-
tion, the forthcoming South Vietnamese
elections probably have provoked increased
terrorism as the insurgents seek to disrupt
the campaign and render the voting as mean-
ingless as possible.
Finally, infiltration from the north con-
tinues at a high level, which would hardly
be the case if there were any Intention in
Hanoi to pull back its main force units.
Nevertheless, a growing number of Amer-
ican officials no longer expect to see the Viet-
namese war liquidated over a green baize
conference table, or in some climactic series
of military confrontations.
HITTING THE SUPPLY LINES
Their view is that powerful and mobile
American forces are demonstrating their
ability to cope with large North Vietnamese
battle units and that Hanoi eventually will
recognize that it has little chance to win
a clash of armies. Moreover, to the extent
that the American bombing in the north
affects the Communist ability to fight in the
south, it is the big main force units whose
supply and replacement channels are hardest
hit.
Since it is virtually a unanimous belief
within the Administration that Hanoi never-
theless shows no indication of either giving
up that struggle or seeking a negotiated
settlement, the conclusion of many officials
is that logic probably will dictate an ulti-
mate lapse into phase one.
Such a reversion to hit-and-run guerrilla
tactics, with small, mainly native bands
ravaging the countryside and terrorizing the
people, would limit the big American units
to their lowest level of effectiveness.
It would make American bombing In the
north even more meaningless militarily than
many believe it already is. And If such a
development suggested to the American peo-
ple that the war was subsiding to manage-
able levels, it might produce far more potent
pressures on President Johnson to "bring
the boys home."
If that is to be the war's future, all the
more importance must be attached to the
development of a stable, popular, broad-
based government in South Vietnam-a
process that could have its beginning in the
elections Sept. 11, when an assembly to write
a constitution will be chosen.
This is because a new phase one struggle
obviously would return much of the burden
of the war to South Vietnam-and only an
able and respected government, dealing fairly
and effectively with its people, is likely to
cope with a determined insurgency that has
some support in the populace.

McNamara devote his full attention to
the wax in Vietnam?
Task this question because of his latest
venture into the so-called war on
poverty. Apparently, since the Johnson
administration's designated antipoverty
agency has botched the job, the latest
ploy is to divert taxpayer dollars sup-
posedly going for the defense of our
Nation into a military poverty war,
where, in true McNamara style, the ex-
penditures and the results can be classi-
field as secret.
Mr. Speaker, this Nation is involved
in a real war. We are spending billions
and billions of dollars supposedly in an
effort to win it, McNamara has said he
is pleased that the war is called
McNamara's war.
When is he going to stop trying to run
other operations of the Government and
climbing mountains, and do the job he
was hired to do? Our fighting men in
Vietnam deserve at least a full-time
Secretary of Defense, even if he and the

DEFENSE SECRETARY McNAMARA
AND THE WAR IN VIETNAM
(Mr. WAGGONNER asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute, to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. ? WAGGONNER. Mr. Speaker
the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. GROSS]
has brought to the attention of the House
a matter about which I have previously
obtained a special order for this after-
noon during which I propose to discuss
the dangerous proposal of the Secretary
of Defense to train additional personnel
who do not presently qualify for physical
or various other reasons to serve in the
Armed Forces. The proposal raises many
questions which should be resolved be-
fore implementation. We must proceed
with caution and not allow the military
to depart or stray from their purpose.
traveler should pay a higher proportion-
ate share of the cost of developing com-
mercial aircraft which will permit him
to travel at higher speeds and at greater
luxury.
Mr. Speaker, I believe that one way or
another we should proceed with the de-
velopment of the best kind of com-
mercial aircraft. However, public sup-
port for this program can only be as-
sured if there is an increased contribu-
tion by the regular air traveler who will
enjoy most of the special benefits.
The proposed commercial aviation
trust fund is patterned after the high-
way trust fund under which the Inter-
state Highway System is currently being
developed. The user tax principle has
worked admirably to develop an inter-
state system which is the finest in the
world. There is no reason why it should
not work equally as well in bringing
about necessary improvements in com-
mercial air travel.

PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr. HELSTOSKI. Mr. Speaker, on
rollcall No. 237, a quorum call taken
earlier today, I am recorded as not an-
swering to my name.
I would have been in the Chamber and
responding when my name was called,
but I was at the White House attending
a bill-signing ceremony.
The legislation which became law to-
day relates to the transportation, sale,
and handling of animals which will be
used in labroatory experimentation. I
have been keenly interested in this legis-
lation and have introduced a bill to regu-
late the abuses in this field. I am
pleased that it has been signed and is
now the law of the land.
Mr. Speaker, I wish that the Journal

MPORTATION OF FOREIGN GOODS
FROM LOW-WAGE AREAS CAUSES
INJURY TO AMERICAN EMPLOY-
MENT
(Mr. DENT asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. DENT. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I
introduced a bill to amend the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 with respect
to injury caused American employment
by the importation of foreign goods from
low-wage areas. This legislation will be
a basis for hearings my Labor Subcom-
mittee has scheduled, beginning next
week, into this area.
The intent of the original minimum
wage legislation is clearly outlined in
section 2 of the act. My bill does not
depart from this intent but, in fact, am-
plifies it. The framers then recognized
the threat of severe wage disparities in
market competition. They further rec-
ognized the power of Congress to ap-
propriately regulate the flow of com-
merce among the States and with foreign
nations. The sum and substance of the
intent was, and has been, to protect the
economic health, efficiency, and general
well-being of workers. This has been
effectively carried out in commerce
among the States, but severely neglected
in commerce between our Nation and
others.
To provide a partial remedy for this
situation, my bill asserts the responsibil-
ity of the Secretary of Labor to recog-
nize the suffering of workers and com-
munities because of wage imbalances. It
likewise provides a vehicle for workers,
and, any other interested party, to bring
Federal attention to resulting unemploy-
ment and community hardship. Once
this attention is focused, and there in-
deed exists a problem, the bill empowers
the President to take whatever action he
deems appropriate to alleviate it. This
action is in addition to any other cus-
toms treatment provided by law. We do
not, therefore, infringe upon the estab-
lished practices of trade or the authority
of certain bodies to regulate that trade.
We only provide an additional safeguard
BILL TO INCREASE TRANSPORTA-
TION TAX 5 PERCENT
(Mr. VANIK asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. VANIK. Mr. Speaker, I have to-
day introduced legislation to establish
a commercial aviation development
trust fund to pay for a portion of the
costs involved in developing new com-
mercial aircraft such as the supersonic
transport, the cost of which is estimated
to run in excess of $4 billion. The legis-
lation would create the trust fund by in-
creasing the Federal tax on commercial
air travel from 5 percent to 10 percent.
This would raise approximately $140
million per year. It Is contemplated
that the trust fund would bear a portion
of the cost of developing the supersonic
transport with the remaining cost paid
out of the Federal Treasury.
There is no justification for requir-
ing the general taxpaying public to as-
sume the total burden of developing
supersonic transport planes which only
a small portion of the public can be ex-
pected to use. Certainly the regular air

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPRO-
PRIATIONS, 1967
Mr. MAHON. Mr. Speaker, I call up
the conference report on the bill (H.R.
15941) making appropriations for the
Departmentof Defense for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1967, and for other pur-

part of the House be read in lieu of the
report.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to

(For conference report and statement,

1966.)
The SPEAKER. The gentleman from
Texas [Mr. MAHON] is recognized for 1
hour.,
Mr. MAHON. Mr. Speaker, we have
for consideration today -the conference
report on the Department of Defense ap-
propriation bill for the fiscal year which
began on July 1, 1966.
Some have asked why this bill is being
presented to the floor at so late a date.
I would like to give the chronology with
respect to the pending legislation.
The President's budget including the
request for defense appropriations was
presented to Congress on January 24 of
this year. Authorization was considered
by the House and by the Senate of that
portion of the bill:which requires author-
ization. Finally,-the authorization con-
ference report was adopted on July 12.
The Committee on Appropriations mar-
shaled its forces and sought to bring the
bill to the House as soon as there was au-
thority to do so, the President having

I The original budget estimates were submitted in local currency amounts which were equivalent to $11,975,000. The original amounts were subsequently reduced to
$7,348,000 at the request of the Department of Defense.
The conference amount is below the
figures in either the House or the Senate
versions of the bill. But to be utterly
frank-and we must-the conference
amount is above the President's budget
in the sum of $403 million. This results
in large measure from the fact that the
House has approved certain projects
which were not contained in the budget
but which were authorized, mind you, in
the authorization legislation.
Some of the measures not included in
the budget and included in the confer-
ence agreement are as follows:
Retaining separate Army Na-
tional Guard and Army Re-
serve organizations ---------- $67,044,000
Retain all 25 Air National Guard
heavy aircraft units --------- 4,300,000
Continue B-52 fleet at 600 air-
craft ----------------------- 6,000,000
Continue 'Claims" as regular an-
nual appropriation --------- 25, 000, 000
Provide appropriation In lieu of
foreign currency appropria-
tion ----------------------- 7,348,000
Additional OH-6A light observa-
tion helicopters ------------ 19, 900, 000
One nuclear powered frigate and
long leadtime items for a sec-
ond ------------------------ 150,500,000
Provisions for production capa-
bility for the F-12 intercep-
tor aircraft ---------------- 55, 000, 000
Procurelnerit of aeromedical
transport aircraft ------------ $16,000,000
Augmentation of Deep Sub-
merge program ------------ 2, 500, 000
Additional funding for Ad-
vanced Manned Strategic Air-
craft ----------------------- 11,800,000
For the manned orbital laboratory-
and this House has been strong in sup-
porting space programs in both NASA
and the Department of Defense--there
is an addition above the budget of $50
million. The figures generally in the bill
for space programs of a military nature
total about $1.7 billion.
For research and development in the
field of antisubmarine warfare there is
$7.5 million above the budget.
So these are the areas in which we are
above the budget.
I think we can say that with respect to
the major provisions in the bill there is
considerable unanimity. It is true that
in the House version of the bill about
$569 million was included above the bud-
get for the pay of about 108,000 men who
had not been budgeted for and who were
actually on board at the beginning of the
fiscal year, on July 1.
We felt that we should appropriate for
the pay of these men. We appropriate
for the pay of people in various govern-
signed the authorization legislation on
July 13. -
So, following enactment of authoriza-
tion on July 13 we brought this bill to the
floor on July 19 for consideration. It
passed the House on July 20. It went
to the other body and it. passed the other
body on August 18.
The conference met on August 23,
and here we are, on August 25, con-
sidering the conference report. In other
words, it would have been impossible for
the House of Representatives to have
considered this legislation in the first in-
stance prior to July 13, and it was con-
sidered on July 19.
I should like to speak briefly about
what is actually in the conference report.
The report is below the House version by
$548 million and it is below the Senate
version by $122 million. The compari-
sons by title and by department are as
follows:
ment agencies for the full 12 months; so
we felt a budget estimate should have
been submitted for this $569 million, but
failing to secure a budget estimate for
these funds, the House put the money in
the bill.
The other body decided to omit the
funds and await a budget estimate. It
is. true that we have sufficient money in
the bill for the pay of all of our military
personnel for a major portion of the
year, but not for the whole year.
It is true that next February or March
we can, in a supplemental bill, provide
the necessary money for the pay of these
additional men who were on board at the
beginning of this fiscal year above the
number estimated in the budget.
It is true, in my judgment, that there
will be additional men called into the
service and that we will likewise have to
provide funds for them.
It is generally estimated that a supple-
mental will be required next year for the
pay of personnel and for the continua-
tion of the war in Vietnam-unless it
should unexpectedly end-in the sum of
$5 to $15 billion. Nobody knows the
exact figure, but it is going to be a tre-
mendous figure.
While the tabulation of this bill shows
that it is $790 million below the Defense

SECTION 612
Section 612 is a provision which would
require notification in advance of any
contracts awarded for advance planning,
construction, design and architectural
services costing $50,000 or more. The
principal was accepted during the con-
ference although the cost figure was
-raised to $150,000. This would insure
that in any building the cost of which
exceeds $2,250,000, Congress would have
prior notification before architectural
and engineering contracts were awarded.
SECTION 613
Section 613 of the bill relates to base
closures, and is probably the most impor-
tant provision in this year's bill. As you
recall, it requires the Secretary of De-
fense to make base closure announce-
ments prior to the expiration of 30 con-
tinuous days of session of the Congress
before congressional adjournment.
I am most pleased to say that the Sen-
ate conferees accepted the House ver-
sion. I think this is a significant feature,
and returns to the Congress certain pow-
ers which belong in the Congress.
SECTION 614
The conferees added a section to the
bill directing the Secretary of Defense to
make a further study concerning the de-
sirability of transferring the Defense
Language Institute from the Washing-
ton, D.C., area to the lands formerly con-
stituting Biggs Air Force Base, Tex., and
also directed him to make a study of the

struction of three new piers and related
facilities at such shipyard.

things that develop and restore our coun-
try-we would end up a richer country.
Mr. Speaker, the answer to the Wash-
ington Post article, "After Vietnam,
What?" is that if we will only bring that
war to a successful end we will be equally
or more prosperous and In the long run
our country will be a hundred times
richer if we only were to put forth the
extra effort now going to support the
war, on the things we need at home.
Mr. Speaker, we must give to our men
in service what it takes to win.
Prosperity or the threat of. depression
has no place in the consideration of
Vietnam.
OPPOSITION TO FIREARMS BILL
(Mr. OLSEN of Montana asked and
was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and ex-
tend his remarks.)
Mr. OLSE'N of Montana. Mr. Speaker,
for most of the legislative measures
which come before the Congress, the sup-
port or opposition from the State of Mon-
tana is readily apparent. Montanans
take pride in participating in the deci-
sions of their Congressmen and as their
representative, I am well instructed.
But, Mr. Speaker, at no time during
my tenure as a Congressman from the
western district of Montana have I re-
ceived such an outright command from
the citizens of Montana as I have in their
opposition to the proposed firearms con-
trol legislation.
For nearly 6 years I have strongly and
repeatedly expressed my opposition to
any Federal gun control laws. I have
made my position widely known, both to
my good constituents, and to my col-
leagues in the Congress.
The advocates of the proposed gun
control bill are undoubtedly sincere in
their endeavor. Their efforts to study
the causes of criminal behavior in the
United States deserves the broadest ap-
plause and acclaim. But I do not believe
that the underlying rational of the bill
is valid. I do not believe that the ease
with which firearms can be acquired is a
significant factor in the prevalence of
lawlessness and violent crime in the
United States. Experience has shown
that criminals can, and do, and will, ob-
tain firearms regardless of restrictions.
The proposed bill attacks the firearm
and the legitimate user of the firearms
rather than the criminal user of the fire-
arm. Essentially, the proposed bill
misses the target of its purpose. In ad-
dition, it imposes unnecessary and bur-
densome restrictions upon the manufac-
turer, dealer and legitimate user of fire-
arms without necessarily achieving con-
trol of crime.
Mr. Speaker, this piece of legislation
brings to mind the spectre of the alco-
holic prohibition laws which this Nation
adopted in the early part of the century.
These measures were ill-conceived and
impossible to. administer. Because the
laws could not be administered effec-
tively, the legislation adopted was grad-
ually more and more severe, and the
police powers of the Federal Government
No. 142-20
had to be more and more expanded.
Finally, in a fit of exasperation, Congress
threw up its hands and repealed the pro-
hibition laws outright.
Mr. Speaker, I have a genuine fear
that this is to be the fate of any gun
legislation which the Congress would
pass. It is my prediction that if this
proposed gun law is enacted, there will
be more severe laws to follow, and again
the police powers of the Federal Govern-
ment will be expanded to administer the
legislation.
Twenty million legitimate sportsmen
would be penalized, while illegal gun traf-
fic among criminals would flourish.
There is a firm and deep-rooted tradi-
tion in our history which commands that
every American should have the right to
keep and bear arms. This concept is ex-
pressed in innumerable places, the most
noteworthy being the U.S. Constitution
itself. It is, indeed, a stalwart principle
in annals of the American civilization,
and we should not tear it down in a blind
attempt to strike out at crime in our
country.
THE 1966 CAPTIVE NATIONS WEEK
POINTS TO A SPECIAL COMMIT-
TEE ON THE CAPTIVE NATIONS
(Mr. DULSKI asked and was given
permission to extend his remarks at this
point in the RECORD and to include ex-
traneous matter.)
Mr. DULSKI. Mr. Speaker, over the
-past month a heavy volume of evidence
has appeared to justify the description of
the 1966 Captive Nations Week observ-
ance as a new high point in this annual
event. In so many respects the recent
week has surpassed all previous observ-
ances, extending back to 1959 when Con-
gress passed the Captive Nations Week
resolution. Beyond question of doubt,
this is a good and solid omen of things
to come as concern the captive nations in
Central-South Europe, the Soviet Union,
Asia, and Cuba, Congress' intent to up-
hold the issue in the basic interests of
our national security and that of the
free world, and the future development
of U.S. foreign policy.
Millions of Americans have shown in
this most recent successful observance of
Captive Nations Week that they are not
being fooled by the superficial and non-
essential changes taking place in the Red
Empire. The totalitarian Red regimes
from Moscow down are solidifying and
consolidating their power, not losing hold
of it over the suppressed captive nations.
The 1966 observance also demonstrated
that large segments of our population
are not being fooled by the deceptive Red
strategy of "peaceful coexistence." They
are very much aware that the Russian-
inspired cold war is being waged more
intensively than ever in the underde-
veloped areas of the world toward the
objective of extending the Red Empire
further through Communist takeovers.
The heavy Russian support of totalitar-
ian Hanoi, with missiles, technicians, and
a whole variety of arms used to cut down
our own soldiers and planes, was high-
lighted, during the event and advanced as
19813
a firm basis for the creation of a Special
Committee on the Captive Nations.
Such a committee now would focus
world attention on the Red Empire and
its deep involvement in the aggression
against South Vietnam. With the situa-
tion becoming more involved in Vietnam,
the extent of Soviet Russian, and other
empire aid, to the totalitarian Hanoi re-
gime must be publicly examined and
properly assessed. A Special House Com-
mittee on the Captive Nations would be a
most effective means to develop all the
implications of this study and to deter-
mine required legislation in this new,
evolving context.
Mr. Speaker, as a further indication of
the scope and variety of the 1966 Captive
Nations Week observance, I request that
the following selected items be appended
to my remarks:
First. The proclamation of Mayor
Sedita of the city of Buffalo, N.Y.
Second. The Buffalo Courier Express
account on July 18, "Parade Honors Cap-
tive Nations" and the Buffalo Evening
News accounts of the same day, "Give
Meaning to Heritage of Freedom,

Third. The July 18 report in the COG
of the Rotary Club of Buffalo titled
"Freedom Fighter" and the same publi-
cation's report of July 25 on the Viet-
namese Ambassador's address.
Fourth. A press release issued by the
Buffalo Captive Nations Committee.
Fifth. The presentation of His Excel-
lency Dr. Vu Van Thai, at the Rotary
Club Captive Nations event.
Sixth. The address of Dr. Nestor Pro-
cyk on Captive Nations Week.
Seventh. The article "Buffalo Kiwanis
Observes `Captive Nations Week" in the
Link publication.
Eighth. The texts of the American
Security Council broadcast network dur-
ing the entire period of Captive Nations
Week, featuring among others the Hon-
orable DANIEL J. FLOOD of Pennsylvania,
and Dr. Lev E. Dobriansky of George-
town University and chairman of the Na-
tional Captive Nations Committee.
Ninth. A published letter by the ex-
ecutive director of that committee,
which conducts the annual observance,
Mr. Donald L. Miller:
PROCLAMATION
Whereas, the aggressive and overtly hostile
policies of Russian and Chinese Communists
have led to subjugation and enslavement of
a large number of once free and independent
nations; and
Whereas, ample proof exists that these un-
willing captives are desiring liberty and inde-
pendence from their captors, and have proven
time and time again their dissatisfaction
with their fate; and
Whereas, the powerful deterrent these na-
tions constitute with their passive as well as
active resistance by checking and hampering
the grandiose ambitions of the Communist
imperialists have been recognized by many
experts; and
Whereas, the United States is committed
to defend freedom and peace with justice all
over the world because by such stand the
preservation of our own hard won freedom is
being guaranteed; and
Whereas, the freedom aspiring peoples of
the Captive Nations know that the United

"We bear a responsibility to understand
and defend our heritage of freedom under
the law.
"Every time you demonstrate respect for
the law and encourage good citizenship you
give meaning and substance to our American
heritage," he asserted.
The observance in front of City Hall, fol-
lowing a parade, marked the_ beginning of
the eighth Captive Nations Week, as pro-
claimed by Congress in 1969.
Judge Marshall said the hope of all free-
dom-loving people is that the human rights
and dignity of people of Iron Curtain coun-
tries will be restored.
Dr. Nestor Procyk, chairman of the local
observance, said the captive nations "did not
wish to be occupied and ruled by Russia."
"This observance is to remind you that all
the people of these nations are enslaved by
terror," he said.
Dr. Procyk said besides giving moral sup-
port to the captive nations, the observance
is a time to announce support of America's
stand in Viet Nam.
In endorsing the bombing of North Viet
Nam, Dr. Procyk said the "best strategy is to
strike the enemy on his own territory.
"However, we must remember that our
main enemy is not in Viet Nam but in
Moscow."
A proclamation issued by Mayor Sedita
called for the citizens of Buffalo to observe
the week "with appropriate prayers for the
deliverance of the oppressed and subjugated
nations the world over."
MARCHERS PARADE "FREEDOM" FLAGS OF
CAPTIVE NATIONS
About 400 representatives of eight nations
held captive by Russia marched eight blocks
to City Hall Sunday in the name of freedom.
The marchers-many dressed in native
costumes--carried signs and banners remind-
ing American citizens of the sufferings of
their people behind the Iron Curtain..
"Sir, why does that flag have a hole cut in
the center?" a woman spectator on the cor-
ner of Genesee and Franklin Sts., asked a
Hungarian flagbearer.
"In 1956 the Freedom Fighters cut out the
symbol of the hammer and. sickle on the
Hungarian flag to protest their enslavement
to Russia," he informed her.
Several of the Captive Nations groups also
carried signs supporting the United States'
involvement in Viet Nam.
Each country had a story to tell:
Albania and Bulgaria, small Balkan coun-
tries which fell to Russia after World War II;
Croatia, "fiercely nationalistic people, who
have waged strong resistance to Tito's brand
of socialism, "
Estonia, "independent until invaded by
Soviet tanks in an annexation that shook
too conscience of the world."
Hungary, whose revolution "sparked pub-
lic opinion to discussions but too little ac-
tions."
Latvia, "unwilling satellite;" Lithuania,
formed after World War I, lost in World
War 11; Ukraine, has "sad distinction of being
the first to be overrun by Communist Rus-
sian occupants."

FREEDOM FIGHTER
The Mayor's Citizens Committee to ob-
serve Captive Nations Week, under the chair-
manship of Dr. Nestor Procyk, has invited an
outstanding Freedom Fighter, Dr. Vu Van
Thai, Vietnamese Ambassador to the United
States, to give his views on captive nations.
This program will be sponsored by the Rotary
Club of Buffalo at its regular meeting at
12:00 Noon on Thursday, July 21, in the
Golden Ballroom of the Statler Hilton Hotel.
Dr. Vu was born,in Hanlo in 1919. He re-
ceived his high school education in Viet-
Nam and further education was completed
in France, with an M.S. degree from the
Sorbonne, Paris. In 1954. Dr. Vu returned
to Viet-Nam after the Geneva Agreement
to join the Vietnamese administration. Re-
signed from the Government Service in 1961
and joined the United Nations Secretariat.
After the fall of President Diem, Dr. Vu re-
turned to Viet-Nam and was appointed .rim-
bassador of Viet-Nam to the. U.S., but de-
clined the appointment after the military
coup of General Khanh. Reappointed Am-
bassador of Viet-Nam, Dr. Vu Van That pre-
sented his letters of credence to President
Lyndon B. Johnson on December 16, 1965.

PARADE HONORS CAPTIVE NATIONS
County Judge Frederick M. Marshall told
an audience in Niagara Sq. Sunday after-
noon, following a parade inaugurating Cap-
tive Nations Week, that "there is no greater
privilege than American citizenship."
The parade featured costumed groups from
eight nations which have fallen under the
yoke of the Soviet Union. Police estimated
1,500 persons viewed the parade which began
at Main and Tupper and proceeded south
In Main St. to Genesee St., and west in
Judge Marshall noted, "With the privilege
of citizenship, however, comes the equal re-
sponsibility to understand and defend free-
dom under our laws."
"Every time you or I show respect for the
law and practice good citizenship we give
further meaning to the American way of
life," Judge Marshall added.
The crowd broke into applause when he
said "It is your desire, and that of Americans
everywhere, that your loved ones in the Com-
munist countries may be able to taste free-
dom and liberty."
TIME TO REFLECT
Judge Marshall called the day, "a time
for reflection, thanksgiving and a rededi-
cation to the principles of democracy."
Dr. Nestor Procyk, assistant director of the
West Seneca State School and chairman of
the Citizens Committee to Observe Captive
Nations Week, said "This celebration con-
tributes to a better understanding of the
needs of the people behind the Iron Curtain."
H. Buswell Roberts, senior deputy corpora-
tion counsel for Buffalo, served as master of
ceremonies and introduced Judge Marshall.
Captive Nations week will also be observed
at noon Wednesday when John R. Pillion,
former representative of the 39th Congres-
sional District, will receive the Citizens Com-
mittee to Observe Captive Nations Week
Freedom Award at a luncheon in the Ter-
race Room of the Hotel Statler Hilton.

"We have become so accustomed to free-

County Judge Frederick M. Marshall.
President Bill presided at this distinctive
meeting observing "Captive Nations Week".
Earl Sidler, II, Senior Minister of Delaware

All sang the fourth stanza of our National
Anthem and Les Erlenbach played the Na-
tional Anthem of the Republic of Viet Nam.
President Bill welcomed the visitors to our
meeting and reminded us of the Sunshine
Day activities this afternoon at Cradle Beach
Camp, and the dinner at Spooner Smith's
Woodbrook Farm in Derby.
Roster Chairman Rog Davis gave No. 2
copy of our new Roster to President Bill.
Since the 1966-67 Roster is dedicated to
Fenton M. Parke, the No. 1 copy had pre-
viously been presented to him in the hospital.
Jim Maxson served as Sergeant-at-Arms
and welcomed the most distant traveler,
Alberto Berra DiBerra, San Paulo, Brazil,
who spoke briefly in Italian.
Among the distinguished guests at the
head table was Mayor Frank A. Sedita who
spoke briefly and presented our speaker with
a Bison statuette, symbolic of the City of
Buffalo.
Next President Bill called on Dr. Nestor
Procyk, Chairman of the Citizens' Commit-
tee to observe Captive Nations Week, who
introduced our speaker, His Excellency, Dr.
Vu Van Thai, Ambassador to the United
States from the Republic of Viet Nam.
Ambassador Thai stated that in the past
25 years, since World War II, Viet Nam has
had a constant struggle with colonialism and
then communism. Viet Nam came very close
to becoming a captive nation, until a few
years ago.
The was in Viet Nam is the only open
confrontation with communism in South-
east Asia. Burma, The Philippines, and
Laos have had and still have problems with
communist guerrilla warfare. The conflict
in Viet Nam is having a considerable effect
on communist policy in other Southeast
Asian countries.
A serious contradiction in the communist
world between nationalism and international
communism has developed with the use of
communist China as a challenge of
Russia. This contradiction has been ac-
celerated by the Viet Nam struggle.
Ambassador Thai quoted a statement from
an official of Singapore that South Viet-
namese are dying, not only for their country
but also so that the Viet Nam conflict will'
not be repeated elsewhere.
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY BUFFALO CAPTIVE
NATIONS COMMITTEE
Ever since the enactment of Public Law
86-90 in 1959, popularly known as Captive
Nations Week, Buffalo has been in the fore-
front in complying with the provisions of this
important law. This year, as in previous
years, the week of July 17-24 was marked by
activities to promulgate the ideas written
into law by giving moral support to the peo-
ples held in Russian or Chinese captivity.
The Week's program started Sunday, July
17, 66 with a parade and motorcade which
proceeded to the City Hall. The official civic
opening of the Captive Nations Week was

Church and the Communist State of Yugo-
slavia.
Two other interesting examples are Hun-
gary and Czechoslovakia. Hungary has, of
course, dominantly a Catholic people, but it
also has large Calvinist and Lutheran
Churches. Czechoslovakia has reported now
quite a revival of religion. For example, it is
now the fashion in Czechoslovakia for a
large number of young people to have their-
marriages celebrated in church. This is a
very interesting development which indicates
that religion has not lost its vitality and its
potential, although it has been-particularly
the Catholic part of religion in Czechoslo-
vakia-has been severely persecuted. At one
time, for example, there were 1500 priests,
at least, in jail. Quite a few, no doubt, have
been liquidated. There is now a freeing of a
good many of these priests.
The Communist aim is to knock out re-
ligion and strangle it, but the tactics and
the way of handling depends upon circum-
stances.

Action.

CONGRESSIONAL PROPOSAL FOR CAPTIVE NA-
TIONS-DR. JUDD INTERVIEW WITH REP.
DANIEL J. FLOOD (D-PA.)
Dr. JUDD. My guest today is my good friend,
the Hon. DANIEL J. FLOOD, Democratic Con-
gressman from Pennsylvania. Congressman
FLOOD is the author of a proposal designed
to demonstrate more clearly America's un-
wavering support of the peoples of Captive
Nations oppressed by Communism. Con-
gressman FLOOD, please explain some of the
details of your plan to our listeners.
Representative FLOOD. As you know, and
as I am glad to tell your audience, the pur-
pose for the Captive Nations Resolution in
the House is to bring to the attention of
the nation-and always sponsored by the
President, whoever he might be, or whatever
party-and this is entirely a resolution of
both parties. Members of both parties have
presented this resolution.
The idea is to establish a special committee
on this question of the Captive Nations be-
Cause we created the phrase; they had been
"satellite" nations. Now these people are not
"satellites.". These are "captive" peoples.
And that is the point of distinction. We
are trying to point out the importance of
establishing, in the House especially, this
special committee and the purpose is to point
out the pure, naked imperialism and the
colonialism of Soviet Russia. The Com-
munists make a point of pointing the finger
at democracy, especially the United States,
and saying we are colonial and we are impe-
rial. As a matter of fact, this is not true, and
the captive nations are held captive by the
Soviet. There are many of them; I shall not
enumerate them now.
The purpose of the special committee, as
you know, and you were one of the sponsors,
is to bring to the attention not only of the
House and the country and the world the
fact that this naked condition of imperialism
and colonialism really exists only today in
the world in the Soviet Union. And we want
to send a bridge across the oceans and the
seas and the hemispheres to all of these cap-
tive peoples, not only now in the Soviet in
Europe and Central Europe, but in the Far
East and in the Southeast or wherever they
might be in the world.
We believe that the existing established
committees do not have the time and cannot
give the proper attention to a sub-committee
existence for this purpose; and we feel that
only by the creation by the House-we would
even agree a-joint committee would be bet-
ter-but for our purpose, the House itself,
a special committee on the captive nations
to put a rifle on this target and expose im-
perialism and colonialism where it really ex-
ists-in Soviet Communist Russia:
Dr. JUDD. Thank you, Congressman FLOOD,
for speaking on this important proposal dur-
ing this week which our nation annually ob-
serves as Captive Nations Week.
ON THE WARSAW PACT
Sir: The writer of your July 8 editorial,
"Disarray in the Warsaw Pact," has a fine
command of the adjective and the adverb,
but a rather faulty memory of recent history.
The Soviets proposed an "all-Europe secu-
rity plan" as long ago as Aug. 11, 1955 for the
then-stated purpose of liquidating the NATO
and Warsaw pacts.
In usual Soviet fashion, propagandists kept
this issue alive for several years. On May 27,
1958, Moscow announced the USSR would
"pull Its troops out of Romania" and reduce
troops in Hungary to get NATO powers to
join with her in a 25-year non-aggression
pact.
When your editorial suggests it would be
great if the Kremlin agrees with Mr. Ceau-
sescu of Romania, the impression is given
that the new proposal for abolishing NATO
and Warsaw pacts is made against the oppo-
sition of Moscow. Not at all so.
You may be interested, and your editorial
writer may also be intrigued, by a Columbia-
Harvard Research Group report to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee February 14,
1960. It stated, in part:
"The objective of Soviet policy toward the
advanced industrial countries now and in the
near future appears to be not a social trans-
formation of these countries, but a modifica.
'tion of their national policies. That is to
say-and a number of distinguished American
observers have gone astray an this point-it
is not a question, in any short-range projec-
tion, of trying to communize the countries
of Western Europe, but rather of seeking to
bring about changes in the policies of their
`bourgeoise' governments. In the first in-
stance, this means changes that will have
the effect of weakening the Western alliance;
later, it may be hoped to encourage these
governments to orient their policies more
favorably toward the Soviet Union to make
their industrial output available to the Soviet
economic complex. In the short-term situa-
tion, the direction of the flow of industrial
output of Western Europe is a major factor
in the world power balance."
It would seem that the Soviets have made
considerable progress toward implementing
this above-stated policy while we have suf-
fered from not having any stateable, long or
short term policy of a similar scope toward
the Soviet Union or the Communist bloc.
DONALD L. MILLER,
Executive Director, National Captive
Nations Committee.
Enrroa's NoTE.-The editorial was not
meant to give the impression cited by Mr.
Miller. Its main point was that Romania's
position in the Warsaw Pact seemed to be
having the wholesome effect of blocking the
Kremlin's efforts to impose on the alliance
a rigid, Soviet-dominated political, economic
and military integration fit only for truly
captive nations.
LEGISLATION TO HELP VIN THE
ECONOMIC BATTLE IN SOUTH
VIETNAM
(Mr. BENNETT asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
.Mr. BENNETT. Mr. Speaker, we are
at this moment engaged in one of the
most difficult and perilous missions a free
nation has ever set upon. The conflict in
South Vietnam, is costing the American
people $33 million a day in military aid,
and an untold amount of priceless life
and property. It is appalling to us all,
I am sure, to witness the thousands of
persons who are losing their lives and
billions of dollars which are being ex-
pended in the machinations of war, when
these resources could be much better
spent in the forward progress of man-
kind. Yet we stand committed to our
belief in the right of self-determination
for the brave people of South Vietnam.
In the pressures of our military activity,
much of the attention of the world and
the press has been on our military op-
erations. But I submit to you that we
are fighting a three-faced battle: a mili-
tary war, a political war, and an eco-
nomic war. -
In order to be successful in bringing
independence and freedom to South
Vietnam, we must win all three -battles.
The military battle, although long and
difficult, will ultimately result in victory.
The political battle, tremendously com-
plicated, is slowly being resolved. But
the firm basis upon which sovereign and
independent nations stand must ulti-
mately be economic. Today I am intro-
ducing legislation which is vitally needed
to help win the economic battle in South
Vietnam.
My bill will provide tremendous in-
centives for private enterprise in the
United States to furnish Its know-how
and technical ability in the production of
industrial-type management and job op-
portunities in South Vietnam. The great
system of American private enterprise
has served as an inspiring example for
many underdeveloped countries of the
world. It must assist the development of
a strong, free, and private enterprise sys-
tem in South Vietnam. I think Ameri-
can business will enthusiastically lend
its know-how to help win the economic
war in South Vietnam and to provide a
locally owned business base for job and
management opportunities there. This
bill will provide for a guarantee of 100
percent for any American private -in-
vestor or business concern against in-
ability to convert money into U.S. dollars,
expropriation, and loss due to war. In
addition, my legislation calls for a 90-
percent guarantee against any com-
mercial loss in the investment.
American businessmen have recog-
nized the opportunity in South Vietnam
and have made direct private investment
to a total of over $5 million, exclusive of
construction. Recent private studies
Indicate that companies moving into
South Vietnam have average profits of
20 to 30 percent on their investments.
Last December, a seven-man mission. of
U.S. businessmen sponsored by the
Agency for International Development,
reported favorably on the profit pros-
pects for a wide range of small or medium
industries and told of a rising number of
inquiries. But while the response on the
part of the private enterprise system has
been sympathetic and encouraging, it
has nowhere matched the overwhelming
need for this type of economic activity.
My bill would also provide for grants
for surveys of investment by private en-
terprise. The surveys would be financed
by the U.S. Government to encourage
private investors to look into the vast
opportunities open for business and in-

In his address, John Pillion paused to pay
tribute to Kiwanis and to congratulate Inter-

then proceeded to outline certain interna-

cited great challenges in a situation where
some one-third of the world is "captive" and
another one-third is "uncommitted." At the
conclusion of his address he was greeted by a

DR. JUDD INTERVIEW WITH DR. LEV DOBRIAN-
SKY, "THE ORIGIN OF CAPTIVE NATIONS
WEEK"
ANNOUNCER. This is the American Security
Council Washington Report. Speaking from
Washington, here is our editor, Dr. Walter
H. Judd.
Dr. JUDD. Each July, during this week,
America re-declares its support for the na-
tions and peoples of the world who have
fallen under the yoke of Communist tyranny.
On the recommendations of the Congress of
these United States, the President proclaims
this to be Captive Nations Week. The author
of this annual movement to pay tribute to
the world's oppressed is my good friend, Dr.
Lev Dobriansky, Professor of Economics at
Georgetown University here in Washington.
I have asked Dr. Dobriansky to tell us more
about the significance of. Captive Nations
Week.
Dr. DoBRIANSITY. The significance of Cap-
tive Nations Week has ben consistently re-
flected since 1959, when the resolution was
first passed. 'Last year, for example, the top
Russian ideologist, Mikhail Suslov, had this
to say concerning Captive Nations Week:
"Especially disgusting is the villainous
demagogy of the Imperialistic chieftains of
the United States. Each year they organize
the so-called Captive Nations Week, hypo-
critically pretending to be defenders of na-
tions that have escaped from their yoke."
Dr, DoSIANSKY. The Captive Nations Reso-
lution and the Week concentrate on the close
to 1 billion people from the Danube over to
the Pacific and, also, in Asia and in Cuba. It
is a deep thorn in the side of the Moscow
chieftains because it brings up one of the
greatest weaknesses and vulnerabilities with-
in the U.S.S.R. itself.
There has never been a monolithic struc-
ture within the Soviet Union itself and this
resolution concentrates not only on. the areas
that most Americans are familiar with-the
captive.areas of Central Europe, Asia and now
Cuba, but also those within the U.S.S.R.
During the Captive Nations Week observ-
ance of last year, and again this year, we have
supported the President's policy concerning
Red aggression in Vietnam. We raise the
question: What about the 17 million captive
people in North Vietnam? When will we
allow the South Vietnamese to point their
strategy toward the liberation of their
brethren in captive North Vietnam? This
and numerous other issues will be discussed
in the course of this week. Americans should
become more familiar with all of these captive
nations and share this observance with us
this week.
Dr. JUDD. Thank you, Dr. Lev Dobrlansky,
the man who conceived the idea of Captive
Nations Week in which Americans may dem-
onstrate their continued support for those
millions of people who yearn for freedom
from the cruel tyranny of Communism under
which they are still compelled to live.

DR. JUDD INTERVIEW WITH MARIA MIHAJLOV,
"PLAN FOR FREE PRESS IN YUGOSLAVIA"
Dr. JUDD. My guest today is Miss Maria
Mihajlov (MEE-HI-LOV), who is the sister
of Mih:ajlo Mihajlov and a citizen of Yugo-
slavia. Last year, Mr. Mihajlov demon-
strated a rare spirit of independence by
writing "Moscow Summer," an essay com-
menting unfavorably on conditions in
Russia. For this he was jailed by the Tito
government and then released on a sus-
pended sentence. Today, he is again tempt-
ing fate by proposing to publish an inde-
pendent opposition magazine in Yugoslavia.
His sister, Maria, is a student in the United
States. While here, she is acting as the voice
of Mr. Mihajlov in this country. Her pur-
pose is to make known to the American peo-
ple the nature of her brother's project and
the crucial importance of its outcome.
Miss Mihajlov, would you please tell us
about your brother's project?
Miss MIHAJLOV. My brother's project is to
publish an independent magazine in opposi-
tion to one-party system rule in Yugoslavia.
The purpose of this magazine would be, as
he puts it, to oppose the one party system as
a matter of principle, and to take an anti-
Marxist and anti-totalitarian position and
to promote Democratic Socialism which is
entirely in keeping with the constitution and
existing laws.
Dr. JUDD. Miss Mihajlov, what do you think
this project may accomplish?
Miss MIHAJLOv. The magazine will serve as
a nucleus for future non-Communist Social-
istic legal opposition. This will serve as the
first breakthrough which my brother and I
hope and believe will stimulate opposition in
other iron curtain countries. This is a test
of the Yugoslav constitution. If the Yugo-
Slav government denies my brother his legal
right, this at least, will reveal to the world
that the liberalization is nothing but talk.
Dr. JUDD. How do you believe that we in
the West can influence the decision of the
Yugoslav government?
Miss MIHAJLOV. My brother needs the
greatest possible publicity for his project, in
the free world. It is not money-it is moral
support that he needs.
Dr. JUDD. Why do you believe such pressure
will have any effect on the Yugoslav govern-
ment?
MISS MIHAJLOV. My brother feels that Tito
Is increasingly in the need of economic help
from the West and simply cannot afford to
ignore public opinion of the free world.
Dr. JUDD. Miss Mihajlov, what are your
own future plans?
Miss MIHAJLOV. Well, when I get my M.A.
degree, I will go back to Yugoslavia. I didn't
break any laws of my country. I love my
people and I want to serve my country.
Dr. JUDD. Thank you, Miss Maria Mihajlov.

ANOTHER LOOK BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN-
DR. JUDD INTERVIEW WITH MISS MONICA
FLIDR
Dr. JUno. My guest today Miss Monica
Flidr of Czechoslovakia-has been before our
microphone previously to tell of her recent
escape from Communist domination of her
homeland. Today-in this week of America's
19817
solemn reiteration of our support for the peo-
ples of all nations captive under Commu-
nism-I would like to ask you, Miss Flidr,
what most irritates the citizens of commu-
nist-run countries?
Miss FLIoR. In my frank opinion, I
wouldn't start with academic freedoms. It is
irritating, but mostly daily life contains of
small and mostly economic things, so I would
say that from economic point of view, it
would be that, well, unavailability of items
of daily use whether it's food or dresses or
electric appliances. On the other hand, drop
in level of all services, and on the other hand,
from psychological point of view, continuing
strain of vast propaganda in our newspapers
where you can find out that everything works
out marvelously and that everybody has rea-
sons only to satisfaction but not to com-
plaints.
And I would like to add here that, espe-
cially in families with children, there is great
dissatisfaction with school propaganda and
indoctrination, because children hear some-
thing entirely different in their families and
something entirely different in the school and
they become hypocrites and it irritates par-
ents and children, both of them.
Dr. June. Miss Flidr, in terms of what the
United States and the Free World generally
might presently do to help, what would be of
greatest help to the peoples of Captive Na-
tions?
Miss FLIeR. What I would say that perhaps
would be the best thing would be if people
in captive nations would see that especially
United States are accepting responsibilities
and obligations towards the countries fight-
ing against Communism, let's say as in Viet
Nam, this would give us hope and this would
psychologically help very much in idea of
revolt, in my opinion. I know how disap-
pointed we were after Hungary in 1956, and I
know how glad people were when United
States helped in Viet Nam.

RELIGION IN THE SATELLITES-DR. JUDD INTER-
VIEWS WITH DR. CHARLES W. LOWRY, PRESI-
DENT, FOUNDATION FOR RELIGIOUS ACTION
Dr. June, My guest today is Dr. Charles W.
Lowry, President of the Foundation for Re-
ligious Action in the Social and Civil Order
and the author of the internationally known
book "Communism and Christ." Dr. Lowry
Is one of the nation's foremost authorities
on the relationship between Communism and
religion. Dr. Lowry, as we honor and re-
member the captive nations this week, will
you tell us something about the status of
religion in the East European captive
nations?
Dr. Loway. Yes, the model or the classical
example and the model for emulation, of
course, is always the Soviet Union. But the
satellites present a variety of circumstances
that make for quite a. few differences.
For example, Poland, which we are very
much aware of at the moment in the news-
Poland has 95% Catholics. Now this gives
the Catholics a great advantage. Also, there
is an identification of the religious and the
national that is almost unprecedented any-
where else in the world, I think, In Poland.
This is probably the reason for the stepping
up of resistance to religion and attempt to
check it and to herd it and harrass it at the
present time, when we are having the 1,000th
anniversary of Poland and when religion is
very prominent, as it is very prominent in
the feelings of the people, and religion has
never suffered as much in Poland as in the
other satellites in the other Communist
countries.
Yugoslavia is very much in the public eye
at the present time because of a most im-
portant recent happening, namely the forg-
ing of a new Concordat between the Catholic

ability that is necessary for the creation
of a sound economic system. Since we
do not wish to assume colonial obliga-
tions or powers, my bill provides for the
disposition of all projects initiated under
this act to the Government of South Viet-
nam or to private South Vietnamese in-
vestors after a 15-year period and at the
cost of the value of the investment.
Thus, the private enterprise system of
America, which has developed this Na-
tion into the wealthiest country on the
face of the earth, will lend a helping
hand to a brave people so that they might
improve their economy and win the third

however, preserve the substantive re-
quirements of section 3 with respect to
protection of the United States against
avoidable loss and the protection of pro-
cedures, processors, and consumers
against avoidable disruption of their us-
ual markets.
The enactment of this bill would not
require the expenditure of additional
Federal funds. Furthermore the Bureau
of the Budget has advised that there is
no objection to such legislation.
Mr. Speaker, I urge immediate consid-
eration of this bill in view of the exigen-
cies of the present nickel supply situa-
tion.
AFL-CIO ADVISES WAR CRITIC
SILENCE
(Mr. POOL asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute, and to revise and extend his remarks,
and include extraneous matter.)
Mr. POOL. Mr. Speaker, I should like
to call the attention of the Members of
Congress to a recent statement by the
AFL-CIO as reported by the Washington
Post this morning. They advise the
American people to unite in support of
our Nation's efforts against the Com-
munist enemy we are fighting in Vietnam.
The statement follows:

SPECIAL POWERS FOR THE PRESI-
DENT TO CURB INFLATION
(Mr. SWEENEY asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. SWEENEY. Mr. Speaker, I wish
to draw the attention of the House to a
bill that I have introduced today to au-
thorize the President to invoke tem-
porary emergency price, wage, and rent
ceilings whenever the United States has
declared against a foreign nation or
whenever the Congress by concurrent
resolution shall find and declare that
grave national emergencies exist, and
that the exercise of such authority is
necessary in the interest of national se-
curity for economic stability.
Mr. Speaker, the emergency in Viet-
nam and our increased commitments
throughout the world make it essential
that the President be possessed of power
that was formerly his during World War
II and the Korean conflict, when on the
advice of his economic advisers, he as
Chief Executive of the land determines
that runaway inflation is a national
problem.
Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is essen-
tial that attention be drawn to the fact
that today the President is without im-
mediate remedy to control inflationary
price and wage increases. During
periods of great national tension result-
ing from the spiralling cost of living,
great responsibility for the continuance
of a healthy American economy falls
upon the shoulders of the President. As
the Nation has noted, our President has
not shirked these responsibilities, but has
repeatedly appealed for restraints and
the initiation of many voluntary efforts
to curb rising costs.
Mr. Speaker, I note with some degree
of satisfaction the fact that the Presi-
dent has requested of the Congress legis-
lative action to control rising interest
rates. While I deem such action on the
part of the President as very meritorious
and helpful, I cannot help but to feel
that the request should have been en-
larged so as to include the granting of
power to the executive department to
deal with the matter of cost relating to
prices and wages as well.
I wish to make it abundantly clear
that while I applaud President John-
son's efforts to secure a voluntary com-
pliance at 3.2, I do not share his opti-
mism insofar as the long-range merit of
the voluntary guideline program, and I
believe that it is high time that the
NICKEL SHORTAGE-A NATIONAL
PROBLEM.,
(Mr. MONAGAN asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. MONAGAN. Mr. Speaker, there
are certain industries located within the
Fifth Congressional District of Con-
necticut, which I represent, that are de-
pendent for their business life upon a
plentiful supply of nickel ore. At the
present time worldwide
nickel is theatening the operations and
the jobs in these industries. I am cer-
tain that such an impact is not limited
to my district. In fact, the shortage of
nickel may rightfully be considered a
national problem.
In an effort to alleviate some of the
difficulties caused by the tight supply of
nickel, I introduced yesterday legislation
(H.R. 17254) authorizing the disposal of
surplus nickel from the national stock-
pile. This bill authorizes the disposal of
approximately 24.5 million pounds of
nickel from the national stockpile estab-
lished pursuant to the Strategic and
Critical Materials Stockpiling Act-50
U.S.C. 98-98h. It has been determined
by the office of Emergency Planning that
this quantity is not required to meet
stockpile needs.
In the last session of Congress Public
Law 89-323 was enacted .and authorized
the release of 260 million pounds of ex-
cess nickel from the national stockpile.
However, due to the temporary shortage
of this vital metal, most of the amount
released has been used up. In fact, I am
informed by the General Services Ad-
ministration that there is approximately
1 month's supply left from this authori-
zation or 3 months' supply with selective
allocation.
The approximately 24.5 million pounds
covered by my bill would provide suffi-
cient material to fill urgent industry re-
quirements. It is hoped that the nickel
supply situation will be materially im-
poved by the time this additional Gov-
CHICAGO, August 24.-The AFL-CIO in ef-

in Vietnam to shut up.

is sacred," a resolution approved by the fed-

mocracy."
The strongly worded motion singled out
the Soviet Union as the foremost villain in
the Vietnamese fighting, claimed that the
United States "isn't resorting to an escalation
of the war," and accused the Communists of
"the most savage ruthlessness and reckless
bombings against civilians."
"Those who would deny our military forces

Communist enemy of our country-at the

admit they are communists, boast how much
they have aided, are aiding, and will aid the
very communist soldiers who are killing men
wearing the uniform of this country and sent
into battle by our own government. We have
listened to them defy their country and the
congress, disrupt a congressional hearing, call
the president of this country a murderer-
and let a few off with nothing more than a
$10 fine, while others weren't punished at all!
We have seen treasonable Americans seek
by force to prevent the loading of supplies
being shipped to soldiers fighting for this
country half a globe away and not even be
arrested! In fact, simple minded commen-
tators and reporters have dared to criticize
an American marine who pushed a crazed
young female traitor out of the way of such
a shipment because she stumbled and fell
into a ditch full of water, which they intim-
ated was an act of brutality.
We have seen others try to break up col-
lege draft examinations, interfere with the
work of draft boards, disturb the wedding of
our president's daughter, demean and call
men moving toward Viet Nam murderers of
women and children.
And, if we've done anything, it has been
nothing more than to slap them on the wrist
and let them know we think they are naughty
children!
Why, in the name that is right, do we suffer
this? Why do we let people too young to

foreign policy? Why do we listen to people
so wet behind the ears they'd never be hired

much time, blood, treasure and effort oppos-

and perverts boast they are communists
fighting our government here at home?
Why do we protect with all the force of
law the right of admitted communists to
teach in publicly supported colleges and uni-
versities?
Why do we listen to prattle about the

THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY AND
THE PRESIDENT'S CLUB
(Mr. CAMERON asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. CAMERON. Mr. Speaker, yester-
day I was greatly disturbed to read in a

And less than 5 months ago he and his
brother and their wives spent $12,000 for
membership in the President's Club.
Although the Democratic National
Committee may have laughed all the
way to the bank at the time, I am sure
it now realizes that all it got for its
money was a king-sized headache.
There is only one type of aspirin that
can cure the pain-returning the $12,000
to the Martins with a "thanks but no
thanks" note attached.
I would rather see the national com-
mittee clad in rags as it walks to the
-bank to deposit sincerely donated nickels
and dimes than see it decked out in a tux
and lugging baskets of greenbacks which
come from insincere and extremist re-
sources--both left and right.
Mr. Speaker, as proud members of the
President's party we cannot permit a
lazy, greedy, and irresponsible national
committee to tarnish our reputations or,
more importantly, the Chief Executive's.
He carries the weight of the world. on his
shoulders and the hopes of millions of
Americans and freedom-loving peoples
in his heart. We cannot, we dare not,
allow the national committee by its in-
credible indiscretion to add to the Presi-
dent's awesome burden.
The Democratic National Committee
can begin to lighten his load this very
day by returning the $12,000 to the
Martins.
The altar of greed has no place in the
temple of our party.
Lei; us begin to dismantle it now,.
syndicated column in the Washington
Post that a prominent southern Califor-
nia member of the John Birch Society
was also a member of the President's
Club.
Blame for this deplorable development
must rest with the Democratic, National
Committee for as the major political and
intelligence arm of the party it has per-
mitted dollars to replace discretion as
its major concern.
This latest incident is but another il-
lustration that the National Committee
has failed to keep its house in order for
many months.
Many Members have long complained
of fouled-up mailing lists.
Party leaders in the States have com-
plained of the committee's casual in-
difference to their particular political
problems.
We have become accustomed to hear-
ing reports that the committee's serv-
ices are being withheld from Members
who dare deviate on certain issues from
.the position taken by the administra-
tion.
Only a few days ago my office called
the committee to inquire about a packet
of position papers prepared by Repub-
lica4n national headquarters. Although
the press several days earlier had given
prominent play to the existence of these
papers, personnel in the committee's re-
search, library, and public affairs sec-
tions were completely unaware of them.
In view of this abysmal record I was
not surprised, although greatly dis-
turbed, to read that the John Birch So-
ciety has infiltrated the prestigious Presi-
dent's Club.
The club has recently come under
heavy fire from the opposition pUXty.
Their attack has been grossly unfair, in
my judgment, for the focus has been on
alleged "influence peddling" rather than
on lack of discretion. This latest devel-
opment makes it patently obvious that
the national committee is making no at-
tempt to correlate fat Government con-
tracts with fat contributions.
All the DNC is concerned with is seeing
that the checks they receive are properly
signed and do not bounce.
Those who purchase membership in
the President's Club with the notion that
their share of Government business will
increase are in for a sad awakening.
They are giving undeserved credence
to the GOP's propaganda campaign and
undeserved credit to the national com-
mittee's ability-even if it were willing-
to tie contributions to contracts.
Mr. Speaker, examine for a moment
the background of. Birch Member J.
Edward Martin, of Los Angeles, For
several years he has been a chapter
leader in a JBS cell. The society's own
publicity proclaims that he was host and
major sponsor of at least three testimo-
nial dinners for Birch founder and dic-
tator Robert Welch.
(Mr. HORTON asked and. was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute, to revise and extend his remarks
and to include extraneous matter.)
[Mr. HORTON addresed the House.

and local cooperation that the-greatest edu-
cational development can be achieved with
federal help.
Under the principle of State and local re-
sponsibility, the American educational sys-
tem has grown so that it compares favorably
with that of any other country of the world.
In 1960, school enrollments constituted 23.2
percent of total population In the United
States, compared to 11.1 percent In Europe
and 14.24 percent in the Soviet Union.. In
this country, total revenues for public schools
have grown by 376 percent since 1950 and
classroom construction has proceeded at a
rate that will provide 653,000 classrooms in
the decade 1962 to 1972.
At the time the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 was being considered,
we were concerned that this poorly-drafted
legislation would too often impede rather
than help the education effort in this coun-
try. We were concerned that it would de-
prive the State agencies and local school au-
thorities of any real power to shape educa-
tional programs to meet local needs. Cen-
tralization of power was a theme that ran
throughout the entire bill. Now, one year
and a number of serious defects later, this
Congress is being asked to broaden and ex-
pand the original Act. In an almost casual
.manner, authorizations in excess of $4.8 bil-
lion have been requested. Unfortunately,
there has been no meaningful attempt to
sort out the vast and confusing tangle of
federal programs. Moreover, obvious defects
have been either glossed over or totally ig-
nored by the Democratic majority on the
committee.
For example, under the present Act, the
distribution of funds within a State is es-
tablished by a set formula. As a result, State
education agencies have been unable tochan-
nel money to the areas of greatest need. In
the past, distribution on the basis of need
has been the traditional administrative de-
vice for the allocation of federal funds. Such
distribution permits State-wide concentra-
tion upon the most urgent educational prob-
lems. It encourages responsible State edu-
cational planning. Unfortunately, the Dem-
ocratic majority rejected all Republican
amendments that would authorize State
education agencies to distribute fends in
nient that would give greater flexibility to
