SOUTH PACIFIC COMMISSION
Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to take from the
Speaker's table the joint resolution-(H.J.
Res. 1161) to amend Public Law 403,
80th Congress, of January 28, 1948, pro-
viding for membership and participation
by the United States in the South Pacific
Commission, with a Senate amendment
thereto, and concur in the Senate
amendment.
The Clerk read the title of the joint
resolution.
The Clerk read the Senate amend-
ment, as follows:
Page 1, line 9, strike out "$325,000" and
insert "$250,000".
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from New
Jersey?
Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, reserving
the right to object, did I hear that this
is being increased from $25,000 to $250,-
000?
Mr. GALLAGHER. No; that is not cor-
rect. The executive request was $325,000.
The House approved the request for the
full $325,000. The Senate approved a cut
in that, and they voted out the measure
for $250,000. So what we are doing is
suspend the rules and pass the bill (S.
4571) to amend the Central Intelligence
Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Cer-
tain Employees, as amended, and for
other purposes.
The Clerk read as follows:
,?. 4571
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That-
SECTION 1. Section 204(b) of the Central
Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964
for Certain Employees, as amended (78 Stat.
1043; 50 U.S.C. 403 note), is amended by
striking subsection (3) and inserting the
following in lieu thereof:
"(3) 'Child', for the purposes of sections
221 and 232 of this Act, means an unmar-
ried child, including (i) an adopted child,
and (ii) a stepchild or recognized natural
child who lived with the participant in a
regular parent-child relationship, under the
age of eighteen years, or such unmarried
child regardless of age who because of phys-
ical or mental disability incurred before
age eighteen is incapable of self-support, or
such unmarried child between eighteen and
twenty-two years of age who is a student
regularly pursuing a f)ll-time course of
study or training in residence in a high
school, trade school, technical or vocational
institute, junior college, college, university, or
comparable recognized educational institu-
tion. A child whose twenty-second birthday
occurs prior to July 1 or after August 31 of
any calendar year, and while he is regularly
pursuing such a course of study or training,
shall be deemed for the purposes of this para-
graph and section 221 (e) of this Act to have
attained the age of twenty-two on the first
day of July following such birthday. A child
who is a student shall not be deemed to have
ceased to be a student during any interim
between schools years if the interim does not
exceed five months and if he shows to the
satisfaction of the Director that he has a
bona fide intention of continuing to pursue
a course of study or training in the same or
different school during the school semester
(or other period into which the school year
is divided) immediately following the in-
terim. The term 'child', for purposes of sec-
tion 241, shall include an adopted child and
a natural child, but shall not include a
stepchild.".
SEC. 2. Section, 221 (e) of the Central Intel-
ligence Agency Retirement Act (50 U.S.C.
403 note) is amended to read as follows:
"(e) The commencing date of an annuity
payable to a child under paragraph (c) or
(d) of this section, or (c) or (d) of section
232, shall be deemed to be the day after the
annuitant or participant dies, with payment
beginning on that day or beginning or re-
suming on the first day of the month in
which the child later becomes or again be-
comes a student as described in section 204

lion there is for sale-.22-caliber rim-
lire. To make a long story short, both the
Justice Department and the Treasury
Department say this exemption or excep-
tion as to recordkeeping will not in any
way weaken the bill as passed in the 90th
Congress.
Last year, we wisely accepted and ex-
vinpted certain types of sporting arn nu-
iiition; to-wit. shotgun ammunition and
the component parts of ammunition. We
relieved at that time one unwarranted
burden on sportsmen. Let us now remove
another. Let us give back to the lads in
our rural areas the privilege to once
amain shoot some coyotes, squirrels, and
civet cats,
The clincher of all arguments in favor
of the exemption as to recordkeeping of
these small-caliber cartridges is the fact
this exemption has the support of two
departments downtown. Both Justice
and Treasury says there is no single in-
stance up to now in which the present
recordkeeping has led to a successful in-
vestigation or prosecution of the gun-
control law that was passed in the 90th
Congress. Up to this point, recordkeep-
ing has been self-defeating because well-
meaning citizens have enjoyed a false
sense of security in the belief their se-
curity has been enhanced by the law.
Rising crime statistics prove the con-
trary is true. Now is the time to eliminate
the ineffective, unproductive and fool-
ishness of recordkeeping.
Mr. ULLMAN. Mr. Speaker, to close
debate, I yield the balance of my time
to the gentleman from Wisconsin Mr.
BYRNES).
+Mr. BYRNES of Wisconsin asked
and was given permission to revise and
extend his remarks.)
Mr. BYRNES of Wisconsin. Mr. Speak-
er, I support H.R. 14233. a bill which
adds .22-caliber rimfire bullets to the
ammunition which is exempt from re-
porting requirements of the Gun Control
Act of 1968.
The Congress in 1969 exempted shot-
gun ammunition, ammunition suitable
for use in riffles which are generally
available in commerce, and component
parts of this ammunition from the rec-
ordkeeping requirements of the Gun
Control Act of 1968. The primary aini of
this exemption was, as the Members will
recall, to relieve the Treasury Depart-
ment-as well as hunters and firearms
dealers--of the unusually heavy burden
of keeping extensive records on trans-
actions involving ammunition used by
sportsmen. Tfie 1969 exemption did not
include .22-caliber rimfire ammunition,
which remains subject to reporting re-
quirements of the act.
The committee, in its consideration of
this bill, was told that .22-caliber rimfire
ammunition is the most popular of all
sporting ammunition. and that the
recordkeeping requirements impose sub-
stantial burdens on the Government and
the public without offsetting advantages
of law enforcement.
i'he Treasury and Justice Depart-
ments agreed that they know of no in-
stance where the recordkeeping require-
ment relating to sporting ammunition-
including .22-caliber rimfire-has been
helpful to law enforcement. Additionally,
the Treasury Department pointed out
that because sales of .22-caliber rimfire
ammunition are so heavy, the record-
keeping is particularly burdensome, con-
suming time that would be more profit-
ably in the enforcement of other sections
of the firearms law. The Department of
Justice- while in general deferring to the
Treasury Department views, also told the
commi t tee that-
There is not a single known instance, as
we have learned from our discus;fons with
IRS, with the firearms people there, not a
single known Instance where any of this
recordkeeping has led to a successful inves-
tigation and prosecution of a crime.
We must ask ourselves whether or not
the recordkeeping burden imposed on
purchasers, sellers, and the Government,
relative to .22-rimfire ammunition, is of
any value to our law enforcement efforts.
Since the law enforcement agencies agree
the recordkeeping requirements in the
cure of .22-caliber rimfire ammunition
are valueless-indeed the Treasury De-
partment suggested they may be counter-
productive-we can no longer justify the
burden that is imposed. I want to make
it absolutely clear that this bill does not
affect existing controls on sales to juve-
niles, drug addicts, felons, and others
subject to the provisions of the Gun Con-
trol Act of 1968.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is consistent with
action taken earlier by the Congress to
exempt other sporting ammunition, It
was approved unanimously by the com-
mittee, and I recommend it to the House
for endorsement now.
The SPEAKER. The question is on
the motion of the gentleman from Ore-
gon (Mr. ULLMANI that the House sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill, H.R.
14233, as amended.
The question was taken.
Mr. BINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I object
to the vote on the ground that a quorum
is not present and make the point of
order that a quorum is not present.
The SPEAKER. Evidently a quorum is
not present.
The Doorkeeper will close the doors,
the Sergeant at Arms will notify absent
Members and the Clerk will call the roll.

Mr. PHILBIN. Mr. Speaker, the bill
makes certain changes in the CIA Re-

to provisions enacted into law with re-
spect to the Civil Service Retirement Act.
These conforming amendments deal
with definitions related to child sur-
vivors, commencement date of annuities,
and a formula for crediting prior Fed-
eral service not covered by contributions.
It also makes two other changes. It
provides for the transfer of employee
contributions into and out of the CIA
retirement fund and increases the ceil-
ing on retirements. Essentially, the bill
conforms the current CIA bill of 1964
with the U.S. Civil Service Act.

(Public Law 89-407, 504).
Lastly, it permits a natural child to
share in the distribution of any money
in the CIA retirement and disability
fund. The act today clearly permits a
natural child to receive an annuity but
it is not entirely clear with respect to
lump-sum benefits. This would correct
this deficiency.
A similar provision amending the Civil
Service Retirement Act was approved by
the 89th Congress-Public Law 89-407.
Section 2 provides for the commence-
ment and termination date for a child
survivor annuity and assures that the
survivor annuity of a student may be
resumed even though it- had previously
been terminated, as for example, be-
cause of military service, Today once an
annuity has been terminated because of
an absence between school terms in ex-
cess of the maximum absence authorized,
the annuity cannot be resumed.
A similar amendment to the Civil
Service Retirement Act was approved by
the 89th Congress-Public Law 89-504.
Section 3 makes a technical change in
the law which will authorize the com-
mencement of an annuity as soon as the
individual enters a nonpay status. Under
existing law, an annuitant must wait
until the beginning of the month follow-
ing his date of separation.

The SPEAKER. The gentleman from
Florida Is recognized for I hour.
Mr. PEPPER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 30
minutes to the gentleman from Califor-
nia (Mr. SMITH), pending which I yield
myself such time as I shall consume.
Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 1308
provides an open rue with 1 hour of
general debate for consideration of House
Joint Resolution 1146 to expand the
United Nations headquarters in the
United States.
The purpose of the joint resolution is
to authorize an appropriation of not to
exceed $20 million for a grant to the
United Nations to defray a portion of
the cost of the expansion and improve-
ment of its headquarters in the city of
New York.
The present headquarters for the U.N.
was completed 20 years ago during which
time the membership has increased from
59 to 126 member states and the number
of secretariat employees in New York has
increased from 2,900 to approximately
4.000.
in 1968, the Secretary General was
authorized to prepare detailed plans and
sl ecifications for a major expansion of
th i headquarters, taking into consider-
ation anticipated needs for the next 20
years.
Proposals-at an estimated cost of $80
million-were submitted and approved
by the General Assembly last year, sub-
ject to two conditions: First, that pay-
ments for the construction from the
regular U.N. budget should not exceed
$23 million; and, second, that satisfac-
tory assurances be received that the
balance of the funds would be avail-
able before construction contracts are
awarded. In accord with arrangements
worked out by the Secretary General, the
$5 million balance would come from three
sources: a $20 million grant from the
U.S. Government, a $20 million contri-
bution from the city of New York, $15
million from the U.N. development pro-
gram and U.N. Children's Fund, which
would move from rented space to the
new U.N. office building.
Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of
House Resolution 1308 in order that
House Joint Resolution 1146 may be
considered.
(Mr. PEPPER asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. PEPPER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5
minutes to the able gentleman from Mas-
sachusetts (Mr. O'NCrLL).
(Mr. O'NEILL of Massachusetts asked
and was given permission to revise and
extend his remarks.)
Mr. O'NEILL of Massachusetts. Mr.
Speaker, I rise on the rule even though
I am not carrying it for the committee
because of the fact that I have been an
avid supporter of the United Nations
through the years.
We have before us a joint resolution,
No. 1146. which would authorize up to
$20 million to defray a portion of the
cost of expanding the United Nations
Headquarters in the United States. The
Senate has already passed Identical leg-
islation.
Just what Is the context of this grant
of $20 million and what are the other
elements of financing this new Secre-
tariat office building? The United Na-
tions has been bursting at the seams for
several years, Mr. Speaker. As early as
1964, the Secretary General reported
