loss and would remind them, in the words
so beautifully translated from the San-
skrit by Sir Edwin Arnold:
Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall
cease to be never;
Never was time it was not; End and Begin-
ning are dreams)
airthless and deathless and changeless re-
maineth the spirit for ever;
Death bath not touched it at all, dead though
the house of it seems.
Nay, but as one who layeth
Ills worn-out robes away
And taking new ones, sayeth
"These will I wear today l"
So putteth by the spirit
Lightly its robe of flesh,
And passeth to inherit
A residence afresh.
THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN AREA COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS
(Mr. GUDE (at the request of Mr.
WILLIAMS of Pennsylvania) was grant-
ed permission to extend his remarks
at this point in the RECORD and to
include extraneous matter.)
Mr. GUDE. Mr. Speaker, while much
of the news these days concerns Viet-
nam and foreign affairs, we dare not turn
away from the other contemporary di-
lemma,-our metropolitan problems.
The Members of this body are all too
aware of the challenges and potential
damage posed by such urban enemies as
crime, pollution of our air and water,
traffic, parking, and an array of other
problems which are both disturbing and
distressing.
In the great metropolitan areas of this
Nation, one of the generally significant
political developments of this century is
unfolding, carrying with it hope for the
present and promise for the future. I
refer, Mr. Speaker, to the growing con-
viction among the elected officials of our
local governments, a conviction winning
support in our State legislatures and the
Congress, that the only effective ap-
proach to the curing of our metropolitan
ills lies in the regional councils of
governments.
Since the passage of the Housing and
Urban Development Act of 1965, which

zations eligible for Federal urban plan-
ning assistance, elected officials of local
governments in more than 50 metropoli-

Indisputable evidence of this was connittee hearings, and reports on a
tiplicity of issues bearing on the in-
found in Washington last week when 500 mu
elected and appointed officials from our
local and State governments across the
Nation convened for 3 days of delibera-
tions. This representative gathering
clearly expressed the overwhelming en
dorsement of the council-of -govern-
ments approach. The meeting produced
specific steps to organize these councils
effectively and to assure the intergovern-
mental cooperation which they are de-
signed to achieve.
It is a source of pride to me, Mr.
Speaker, and to other citizens of my
district that our own local elected offi-
cials have pioneered this approach
through their organization, the Metro-
politan Washington Council of Govern-
ments. This organization is currently
observing its 10th anniversary. It is a
tribute to the vision and efforts of these
officials that the Washington Council is
recognized across the Nation as the most
productive organization of this type. It
is a tribute, too, to such capable leaders
as Arohilles M, Tuchtan, the council of
government's chairman of the board.
As a State legislator for the years that
this organization has been active and as
a Member of the Congress as it embarks
on its second decade of service, I am
happy to join in the salute to the Metro-
politan Washington Council of Govern-
ments. Beyond that, Mr. Speaker, I am
grateful for this opportunity to point
out to the Congress that its recent man-
dates in the field of Intergovernmental
cooperation are producing fresh and
hopeful innovations, such as regional
councils of governments, which are capa-
ble of producing powerful weapons in our
war against these urban enemies of
crime, transportation, and pollution.
With these new weapons, we draw re-
?newed conviction that we can yet reach
that day envisioned by Theodore Roose-
velt 60 years ago when he said:
This Nation will not be a really good place
for any of us to live in if it is" not a really
good place for all of us to live in.
ter sts of the United States and legisla-
l
tion on both foreign and domestic topics
which effect individual and international
rights and responsibilities. Our firm
policy in Vietnam, with some reserva-
tions as to implementation, finds support
within its pages.
In direct contrast are some of the
targets of Ramparts anti-U.S. tirades.
Director Hoover and the FBI, along
with the congressional investigative com-
mittees, are fair game. Of prime im-
portance are the deaths caused in South
Vietnam because of the U.S. forces there,
with hardly a word about the wholesale
slaughter of South Vietnamese civilians
which is a traditional feature of Com-
munist policy al_d operations. Realistic
concern over the worldwide threat of
communism is "paranoia" to Ramparts.
Differences in policies and methods are
to be expected in these troublous times.
However, in an era when totalitarianism
coverts the lives of free men everywhere,
the best Interests of the United States in
defense of its security and survival is a
fair criterion on which to base such
policies and methods.
In this light, the following article on
Ramparts by M. M. Morton, which is the
pen name of an expert on internal secu-
rity affairs, should be judged. I include
the article, "The Inside Story of Ram-
parts Magazine," from the April 8, 1967,
issue of Human Events in the RECORD
at this point:
THE INSIDE STORY OP RAMPARTS MAGAZINE (By M. M. Morton)
Just moments away from San Francisco's
bustling Barbary Coast of old and the busty
topless waitresses of today are the offices of
Ramparts magazine, a slick-paper sensation-
monger that has unique sources of news,-a
seemingly unceasing flow of funds and an
impact on today's political world that makes
even the President and Congress take notice.

munist line on Viet Nam, the FBI, the
