Ouse of Representatives
The House met at 12 o'clock noon.
The Chaplain, Rev. Bernard Braskamp,
D,D., offered the following prayer:
Psalm 34: 14: Depart from evil and do
good; seelc peace and pursue it.
Almighty God, in these days of crisis,
when peaceloving nations. are being
drawn together by common devastating
perils and common democratic princi-
ples, grant that our own beloved country
may take the initiative in extending to
one another the overtures of friendship
and fraternity.
May. we take the lead in promoting
the spirit of sympathetic understanding
and cooperation lest we all drift apart
and place in jeopardy the very existence
of our civilization.
Emancipate all the nations from the
spirit of self-interest and that vicious
scramble for priority and advantage, and
may each accept the challenge to strive
for that spiritual unity which is a mat-
ter of life, and death for the.world.
Fill our own individual mind and heart
with a passionate yearning for that wider
and deeper experience of mutual regard
and love which are the only and ultimate
pledges of peace and prosperity.
May we be partners in putting forth
more heroic effort in behalf of a nobler
social order Which is struggling toward
the light of a new day'
Hear us in the name of our blessed
Lord whose love is the salvation of our
souls and whose laws are the founda-
tion of a world order wherein dwelleth
righteousness and peace. Amen.

MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE
A message from the Senate by Mr.

ever, tnat the newspaper account was con-
sidered not only inaccurate, but inconsist-
ent with information Goleniewski has pro-
vided American officials.
What is the truth in this matter? The
American people deserve to know and,
judged by the past record of the State
Department, we will never learn the truth
from them. Only the Congress can bring
out the truth In this matter and it is
imperative that we do so immediately.
On November 27, 1963, I introduced

operating the way it was operating in the old
or current premises should make up the sell-
ing price allowable to the person who has to
move to make way for any civic improve-
ment-freeway, redevelopment, etc."
Another: "I do think the Government
should be realistic in all appraisals and
watch out for the deceit and fraud practiced
by persons with insider information on proj-
ect locations, whereby some people make a
lot of money."
Another: "The compensation for reestab-
lishing a business should have a reasonable
relationship to the comparable costs for the
business establishment in the original loca-
tion, based on prior records of the business
concerned."
Another: "I think the Government should
compensate the businessman if he is forced
to move from an established location. If the
law is too liberal, however, a great number
of businessmen are going to take advantage
of a given situation, and'try to make money
by charging the Government with all. sorts
of costs and losses. Compensation, and other
adjustments due to Government projects
should be based on Federal income tax re-
ports prior to the project and after the proj-
ect went into effect. This is the only true
yardstick whether the move by a business to
another location was detrimental or perhaps
quite beneficial to the business. A situation
of this nature will occur to a great many of
the businesses along U.S. Highways 36-40 in
Denver, Colo., after interstate 70 will by-
pass the main business arteries in Denver in
approximately 15 months. We have formed
a merchants group, just to work out plans
how to minimize the loss of business due to
the new highway. These projects naturally
affect small businesses to a much larger ex-
tent than heavy industry, or large coin-
panics."
Another: "This (compensation] should be
open negotiation and handled on a business-
like basis. Naturally, there will be differ-
ences and there will be those on both sides
trying to take unfair advantage. Some
form of arbitration can be worked out on
these few, I believe 99 percent can fairly
negotiate so that small business will not be
hurt."
Another: "This is a very touchy problem
and about every project has a different
effect on business. I think every locality
should have a locally appointed seven mem-
ber board of independent businessmen to
judge what to do about these situations,
then approved by the U.S. Government."
Another: "Fair market value should be
paid for properties taken over, based on
value prior to the determination that such
properties need to be purchased for the Gov-
ernment project. The period for determin-
ing fair market value should be at least 6
months prior to final determination of the
project."
Another: "Actual losses should be paid in
full. Intangibles should be considered, but
weighed carefully. A system of impartial,
knowledgeable referees to arbitrate these.,
matters might be useful."
Another: "No blanket law should cover
all cases. Real estate boards or arbitration
boards should be used to determine losses.
Provisions should be built in to protect the
Government (taxpayers) against oppor-
tunists."
Another: "What is just compensation?
dan owns plant and has for many years.
a'lant has been maintained and modernized.
Ole should be compensated not on assessed
-~,alue or even appraised value but on actual
,ost of equal facilities. If the Government
lid not require his moving, he could go on
or many years without such expenditure.
JVhy must he be put to added costs without
-ompencasion. However, if he moves to en-
,iher city or State which furnishes plant
ice and even tax free, some penalty should
be forthcoming to compensate community
he leaves for loss of payroll, etc."
What about damages to areas not Immedi-
ately adjacent to area of construction?
Sometimes blasting, etc., alters rock forma-
tions even miles from area, causing settling,
that otherwise would not have occurred.
Many other factors, such as traffic flow, are
also altered far from project. Some relief
should accrue.
To sum up our findings in this survey, they
show:
1. Relocation is a very costly process for
many independents. Many experience losses
for which they are not adequately compen-
sated.
2. While compensation is judged inade-
quate, a majority of those who have moved
report that it was not a factor in compelling
business retrenchment.
3. There is support for liberalized compen-
sation, however it extends only into the areas
of tangibles-items like machinery, equip-
ment, fixtures, moving costs, et cetera, which
are readily verifiable, and not into the area
of intangibles-items like living costs, lost in-
come, at cetera, which are not so easily veri-
fiable.
4. While there Is support for liberalized
compensation, there is also strong insistence
that this be provided with strict safeguards
for the public purse.
5. Despite the difficulties encountered by
those who had completed their moves and
those- left in fringe areas, and despite the
difficulties anticipated by those facing the
need to move:
(a) A significant number (60 percent) of
operations--o,_e because of seemingly poor
redevelopment planning, one because of di-
version of a highway necessary to his trade,
and one for rea.ons that are not clearly indi-
cated.
6. There is, sce,aingly, a great need for Im-
proved informatit nal procedures for the
benefit of firms affected by these programs.
7. While there is some Criticism of the con-
cepts-chiefly urban redevelopment and ARA,
chief criticism is over the need for improve-
ment in the laws and the procedures In-
volved in them.
DOMESTIC BEEF SITUATION
GROWS STEADILY WORSE
(Mr. GURNEY (at the request of Mr.
NSLSEN) was granted permission to ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous mat-
ter.)
Mr. GURNEY. Mr. Speaker, for the
past four months, while the domestic
beef situation has grown steadily worse
as a tremendous volume of foreign beef
products flowed into this country, the
administration has been asking us to
avoid the introduction of legislation to
establish limitations. Furthermore, we
have been asked not even to talk publicly
about the matter lest we upset our bal-
ance of trade with Australia, or endan-
ger our negotiating position with the
Common Market.
We were assured the voluntary nego-
tiations then being conducted with Aus-
tralia and New Zealand would produce
a remedy for the problem. The negotia-
tions have concluded, but the results are
a long way from the cure. Moreover,
they are a slap in the face of the Ameri-
can cattle industry.
It liar become quite clear that unless
beef imports from these two countries,
plus the tons of beef products coming
to Florida ports from Latin America are
curtailed, our domestic cattle industry
faces a multimillion dollar loss.
While we are standing here today a
flotilla of ships is approaching the United
States from Australia loaded down with
more than 30 million pounds of beef.
This is equal to 72,545 head of cattle.
This means American producers must
retain this number of cattle on their
ranches, resulting in increased costs, in
the loss of labor for handling, slaughter-
ing, and butchering. In short, it means
a multimillion dollar loss to the Nation's
economy.
Today, I have introduced a bill to limit
beef imports to half of the 5-year aver-
age prior to December 31, 1963.
This will offer prompt relief to our
domestic producers while still maintain-'
ing the United States as a fair market
for foreign producers.
We are well aware of the value of the
favorable- balance of trade, but we
cannot stand by and watch our Ameri-
can cattlemen go down the drain. Un-
less we take immediate action this may
happen. -
The time for action is now. Every
day we delay costs our cattle producers
ARTICLE CHARGES U.S. AGENCIES
PENETRATED BY REDS
The SPEAKER. Under previous or-
der of the House, the gentleman from
Ohio [Mr. AsxsROOxI is recognized for
15 minutes.
Mr. ASHBROOK. Mr. Speaker, ear-
lier today I addressed the House and
commented on the article which ap-
peared in the Monday, March 3, 1964,
New York Journal-American. It points
out charges which certainly should be
investigated so the American people can
know the truth in this important matter.
It is no secret that the State Department
has been working hard to conjure up the
picture of Soviet Communists as "ma-
turing" and "responsible" world leaders
who are gradually shaking off their
rough ways. Our foreign policy is based
on an unreal appraisal of our sworn ad-
versaries and as a part of this effort, the
American people have been deluged with
propaganda. The Journal-American ar-
ticle presents a direct contrast to the
pie-in-the-sky approach of the State
Department and it should be thoroughly
aired by a congressional committee
which would be free of the builtin re-
straint of alibiing on its own failures.
The Journal-American article con-
cerns one Michal Goleniewski, a defector
from the Soviet secret police, who has
proven a valuable informer in the past
but, according to the story written by
Guy Richards, has many further stories
to tell concerning Red penetration of
our State Department and even the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency. Mr. Goleniew-
ski received the following endorsement
last year when the Congress passed. a
private bill providing for his naturaliza-
tion:
