IN THE HOUSE OIo REPILESENThTIVES
Thursday. March 1, 1962
Mr. MICHEL. Mr. Speaker, in view
of today's statements in the press re-
e
BY its nature. this resolution should
introduced with broad bipartisan backing.
I Ani therefore inviting members of both
parties to join me to sponsoring the measure.
if you wish to be listed as a coapoheor,
would you kindly advise, Miss Jean Wagner
In my ofece4?
Sincerely yours.
garding President Kennedy's forthcom-
ing announcement on nuclear air tests, p
I feel compelled to point out that this Is v
a perfect example of Government by
"leak" and reinforces my speech of Feb- c`
runty 21 concerning the President's 1
hesitancy and Indecisiveness on this
question.
I am sure the leaders of both parties
in the Congress would be Interested in r;
Knowing of President Kennedy's think-
1ng on this vital issue, As a member of
the House Appropriations Committee I
am particularly concerned since we have
to appropriate the money for these pros- ?!
eats. I cannot understand why the
President feels it necessary to "Usk" in-
formation to the New York Times. In a
sense asking them what they think he
should do.
I know that the majority of the Ml-
bens of (%ongreiis on both aides of the
aisle kii5w what we should do and all
feel affronted that the President does
not, sir itt to be frank and opal, even
with nNAnbers of his own party, on his
from, for THOMAS J. Doors dated
August 1961, to all of his colleagues In
the Se te. I wish to include the letter
at that int, all pull special attention his
remar concerning President yen-
howo, which I referred in toy Speech
of Fe i.:y21.
