USE OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY FUNDS Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota. Mr. President, it is understand.Lble that tnere would be concern and _controversy over recent disclosures that Central Ini.t.11iLi gence Agency funds were being usea to help to pay the costs of tht National Stu- dent Association representatives at itu- dent conferences all over the worlti. One of the best explanations and j,isti- fications for this use of funds is :ion- tained in a colurnn entitled "The CIA- Students Controversy," mitten by David Lawrence and published in the Washing- ton Evening Star of February 16, 19E7. I ask unanimous convent that the article be printed in the RECORD. There being no objection, the article was ordered to be printed in the REC0RD, as follows: ? THE CIA-STEDENTS CCI,r1MOVERSY (By David Lawrence) The United States is today at war with Communist enemies. The gathering o in- telligence is an important factor in the eon- filets that are arising throughout the world. Yet when the Central Intelligence Agency endeavors to cdnect information by enlie the co-operation of American . student orga- nizations, a hullabaloo is raised and members of Congress start talking about derog dory investigations that could fru.trate Ante) eia's information-gathering in foeelgn coun ries. Both the Russians and the Red Chinese have infiltrated student organizations in the United States which are fomenting das cord and starting demonstration; to help turn public opinion against the American go, ern- meat. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has by no means engaged in any such activi- ties abroad, but has merely sought thc co- operation of American studei its visiting for- eign lands so as to help the government here to keep abreast of what is going CM in various countries. While the United States g evernment ever since 1952 has spent approximately $300.000 a year to pay expenses of the information- gathering operation by American stuneits, the Soviet Union has been f tre nishing at cast $10 million to $20 million a year to stulent organizations that do not just gather in- formation but actually engat e in subversive activities in other countries. The CIA drew the line?it ilid not ask any student to participate in subversive activities of any sort abroad, but meeely to let the United States government It aow what was happening in student eirelee which cold affect the United States. This is impcm.arit because of the internationsi scope ar the student associations which nada into virtu- ally every part of Europe, A-la, Africa and Latin America.

Lie FBI has repeatedly told members of Congress about the activities of students Inside this country who are members of the Communist party or who are affiliated with groups financed by the Soviet Government. I; there are to be investigations in Con- gress of what the CIA has done to gather i...crmation, it would be logical to expect a ln.noughgoing inquiry also into the leader- -1 and financing of certain student groups ? _bin the United States. Some of them --ye been in contact with members of Con- and have submitted demands that ra really in the interest of Communist governments abroad. The CIA has had nothing to do with the ,;.rations of student organizations within ...lc United States itself. Whatever financial ;..,:p it has given has been to officers of stu- dent associations who have been in charge of matters related to trips of American stu- dents abroad, particularly to Communist countries. Many an American businessman and other travelers have been interviewed by the CIA after their return from Communist lands, and there is no impropriety in giving one's own government any information that might be useful to it in the war against c, imunism. The FBI undoubtedly has plenty of evi- dence of the activities of the Soviet gov- ernment inside the United States among student organizations. A comprehensive in- cc.ry into the "student demonstrations" in recent months would expose to public view what the United States is up against in foreign lands as well as inside America. It is amazing to find that some members of Congress are so unfamiliar with the per- plexing problems of gathering intelligence in other countries that they are preparing nriwitGingly to handicap the United States government in its efforts to learn what is being done to damage American interests throughout the world. Second, we are proud of our competitive society. Competition is basic to an efficient and free economy and opportunity is funda- mental to competition. The systematic ex- clusion of any ethnic group from full par- ticipation is not only morally and politically wrong, hut economically wasteful as well. What sense does it make to ignore or minimize the potential contribution of 24 million Americans? What enterprise would squander more than ten percent of its po- tential labor force, its future management, or its b adding researchers and technicians? Yet this is the consequence of persistently denying minority Americans equality of op- portunity in education and employment. In fact, the consequences are more costly for a society than for an individual enterprise. An enterprise incurs only the penalty of lost profits through squandered resources. A so- ciety incurs far greater costs because less- than-equal opportunity breeds economic waste through paternalism, unemployment, poverty, and unnecessary social and political unrest. Freedom of entry?freedom of competitive opportunity?is a key element in the success- ful operation of any free market. A society makes the most of its endowment, human and material, only when its resources are free to flow to their most productive uses. This economic truism is the pragmatic justi- fication for ensuring all citizens equal access to jobs, education, and public facilities. And in it also lies the key to the argument for access -?,;o private goods unhaimpered by arti- ficial restraints, for in a free society, private goods are a major incentive. They are the rewarth earned on the basis of achievement by those who have contributed to prosperity. Public goods and private goods differ, and the appropriate criteria for "equal" access to each differ also, but they are two sides of the same coin. We diminish our productive ca- pacities by arbitarily limiting access to either. ? ? The opportunity to secure private goods and services is one of the chief motivations used by an enterprise economy to extract maximum effort from its participants. Re- wards for productive and useful effort come in the form of the abiliq to satisfy personal or family wants?in other words, in money. We have equal access to private goods and services only insofar as we can bid equally for them, up to the limits set by the amount of money we have. Discrimination destroys this "equal" op- portunity to gain for oneself an amount of material satisfaction commensurate with the reward earned. It in effect establishes a second incentive structure for the disad- vantaged?one which does not adequately reward achievement. For even if money wages paid a minority worker are equal to csnace. he is raOre r&si man st,(v_ sn one arntytin of satisfaction his wages can purchase. He may most wish to purchase a suburban house or send his child to a fine private school. If he cannot, he must settle for second best. His money buys "less," in that he cannot get maximum satisfaction per dol- lar. His incentive to earn by contributing to production is seriously diminished, and the entire society pays the price in lost out- put. To operate at peak economic and social efficiency, it is necessary to remedy this eco- nomic impediment, But private consump- tion is too intimately entwined with per- sonal liberty, involving as it does the eco- nornie determination of an individual's life style, that we must make sure that the "cure" does not merely compound the dis- ease. Every effort should be made to secure cooperation by all citizens in ending dis- crimination.

TRADE BARRIERS T)CALIF' ) i INE Mr. MURPHY. Mr. President, after weathering their experience unCer the Articles of the Confederation, our fore- fathers rightfully deemed it Ultdesiranlit, unwise, and downright foolish to permit Individual States to erect artificif trade barriers to products coming frorl otn..r States. As a result of this exp- the power to regulate commerce is-twain the States was granted to the Federal Government in the Federal Constitution. Fifty individual Statee have thus been molded into one viable, and common 11.1-. tional market. Trade in commerce moves freely between the State -I. The wisdom of such a policy is self-evident.

The wine industry plays a major part in California's great agriculture. Cali form a wine a 'acorns Ls for approximately 85 i.ercent. of all wine produced in the United States. It las received national asid inteniatiotial acclaim. Because this is such an important a- dustry in my State, I am naturrhy con- cerned about discriminatory trrde bar- riers that some States have erected against California wines. I do riot believe it was the iatention of the 21St amendment to the Constitu- tion to create trade barriers that re- strict the free movement of products De- tween the States. I therefore nearnly endorse the action of the California State Legislature in locusing the coun- try's attention on this serious matter.
