STATEMENT DY SENATOR CRANSTON
For the Information of Senators and the
public, I announce that there will be a
public hearing on Wednesday, January 10,
1973, before the Subcommittee on the
Handicapped of the Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare for the purpose of
receiving testimony on S. 7, the Rehabili-
tation Act of 1972. This hearing will be
held in Room 4232 at 9:00 a.m.
Mr. President, I am pleased to respond
to the request of the Senator from West
Virginia (Mr. RANDOLPH), the Chairman
of the subcommittee, to net -,,s C~^ir'"-
for the purposes of considering this legis-
lation. I am very grateful to the uis-
tinguished Senator for all the counsel,
support, and assistance he gave me in the
92d Congress when I acted in the same
capacity with respect to this legislation
to improve and expand the vocational
rehabilitation program.
As Senators are aware, this most vital
legislation, which was a unique bipartisan
effort and a culmination of nearly a year's
work on the part of the respective Members
of the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives, and their staffs, was agreed to in
Conference Report (02-1681) on H.R. 8395
at the end of the last Congress. The pocket
veto of this bill was announced on October
27, 1972. The provisions of S. 7 are the same
as those in the vetoed H.R. 8395.
This rehabilitation program is now in its
53d year. It has been directly responsible for
enriching the livesand increasing the self-
sufficiency of millions of handicapped indi-
viduals by placing them in jobs resulting
in the production of tax-revenues that might
otherwise have been lost. It is one of the
most cost effective programs that the Federal
Government supports.
Mr. President, I earnestly hope that the
Senate will proceed to pass this legislation
as swiftly as possible. We have scheduled a
subcommittee session to consider the bill
immediately following the hearing on Jan-
uary 10. The new programs, authorities, and
appropriations authorizations in the bill are
essential to move us more closely toward
meeting the needs of the millions of deserv-
ing Americans who have suffered the mis-
fortune of being handicapped.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
GLEN ROCK CAROLER'S
ASSOCIATION
Mr. SCOTT of Pennsylvania, Mr. Pres-
ident, as our sights and ambitions are
now directed to the new year, I would
like to step back a few days to pay
homage and to extend my congratula-
tions to the Glen Rock Caroler's Asso-
ciation of Glen Rock, Pa., on their
125th anniversary.
The carols, of English origin, were
brought from England by the original
settlers of Glen Rock. On Christmas
Eve, 1848, five men with one member
playing a bassoon went from house to
house serenading the villagers. It is be-
lieved that there were at least four songs
in their repertoire during that year.
The tradition has been carried, on
each year since 1848 and the carolers are
now composed of 40 members and 10 as-
sociates. For the first time, period cos-
tumes of the 1840's' were worn this
Christmas in observance of their 125th
anniversary.
I heartily commend this worthy asso-
ciation for bringing the Christmas spirit
into the homes of their friends and
neighbors as their descendants have done
continuously for 125 years.
tising in the broadcast medias. This ad-
vertising Is a pernicious distortion, of
congressional intent. One little cigar has
moved into national distribution using
broadcast advertising reminiscent of
cigarette advertising. Another little
cigar has been regionally introduced.
The creative platform and Winchester's
very presence is a tease, designed to encour-
age cigarette smoking.
Again, a quotation from Advertising
Age.
I will shortly introduce legislation to
amend the Federal Cigarette and Label-
ing Advertising Act to redefine the term
"cigarette," so that cigars will be re-
stricted in their advertising and promo-
tion in the same manner as other ciga-
rettes.
I am pleased to note that the National
Interagency Council on Smoking and
Health, consisting of the major na-
tional health and educational organiza-
tions concerned with smoking, has en-
dorsed efforts to break the back of this
outrageous evasion of the ban on broad-
cast cigarette advertising.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the text of the Advertising Age
editorial be printed in the RECORD.
. There being no objection, the ordered
to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
[From the Advertising Age, Jan. 3, 1973]
A WHOLE 'NOTHER DISASTER
A group of public Interest attorneys is
giving those Winchester little cigars a rough
time.
The lawyers don't question Winchester's
right to be advertised on television; they're
more concerned about the absence of a health
warning on the pack. They're asking the
Federal Trade Commission to require a
strongly-worded warning that would carry a
rather ominous litany: "This product if in-
haled Is dangerous to health and may cause
death from cancer, coronary heart disease,
chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema
and other diseases." That's what they want
the label to read.
Can a smoker catch all those things from
one Winchester? One drag? How about one
pack of this low-tar brand?
No, we're not bothered so much about
Winchester's inhalability and the health
warning. We are bothered about Winchester
being on tv In the first place. You can split
all the legalistic hairs you can find and tell
us that under Internal Revenue Service clas-
sifications, Winchester is not a cigaret: it's
a little cigar. We say so what? Who's kidding
whom? The brand is made on cigaret ma-
chines. To the public, the Winchester com-
mercial is the same as a cigaret commercial.
There's the cowboy-type and his Marlboro-
esque machismo, lipping the weed from a
pack as so many other Marlboro men before
him have done., There are the curls of smoke,

Mr. MOSS, Mr. President, these are off with him, wordlessly, into the sunset. It's
not the words of an antismoking parti- junk. But that's not reason enough to ban
san; these are the words of an editorial the Winchester campaign. We'd ban the
published in this week's Advertising Age, campaign because we think Winchester is
the national newspaper of marketing the cigaret's version of reminder advertising.
It's the cigaret's toe. in the tv door. The

smokers from a privileged sanctuary, based
on a technicality in the tax law. We think
it's important because we find that more and
more, people outside our business are using
the Winchester campaign as an example of
advertising cynicism and hypocrisy. The cam-
paign undermines all of advertising.
As viewers look upon Winchester as a rip-
off and assign it to those Madison Avenue
hucksters, you can chalk up another bitter
setback for the advertising business, its credi-
bility and its responsibility. The best thing
that could happen would be for WinchesLer
to stop the charade, or for the tv stations to
knock it off the air.
While there are other brands that make
up the little cigar market, we're zeroing in on
Winchester because it alone positions itself
in an exploitive fashion as a subliminal
cigaret. The earlier entries, the original little
cigar brands, are either not on tv or are posi-
tioned so as to be exempt from criticism. -
Either we change the law and reopen the
airwaves to all cigarets or we get Winchester
off the air and in compliance with the law's
intent. Right now, Winchester is blowing
smoke through a legalistic loophole and the
smoke ring is forming at noose for all adver-
tising.
THE CONTINUING TRAGEDY
Mr. RIBICOFF. Mr. President, the
Vietnam war has been a national disaster
for this country. It is tragic that in 1973
we have not yet ended our involvement
in this morass. The war has been most
disastrous, of course, for those who have
been killed and maimed by it. But it also
continues to undermine the moral and
spiritual health of the United States.
Is it really so impossible to get our
country out of this war? Is it really
beyond the ingenuity of the Congress to
disengage us from this tragedy? Will
more massive bombing be used as a nego-
tiating tool?
I suppose we should. be grateful that we
are now in a negotiating phase rather
than a bombing period. But there is no
one to explain to us here in the Senate or
to the American people why our air force
unleashed such destructive fury on the
people of North Vietnam, and why, after
peace was at hand, the negotiations broke
down.
. Over the years this war has been com-
puterized, analyzed and Vietnamized.
And over the years the American people
and the Congress have been lied to about
this war. Now we have bombed and
blasted North Vietnam on an unprece-
dented scale without a word of explana-
tion from our President and without a
minute of testimony by our Secretary of
State.
What has this accomplished? Some 30
aircraft, including 16 B-52's, have been .
lost and over 100 American airmen are
dead or missing. At least this is what we
are being told. What we do know for cer-
tain is that the prisoner of war camps in
North Vietnam are now fuller of Ameri-
cans, and that thousands more Vietnam-
ese are dead.

Presidency declared--
