Civilian reservations about volunteer
armed forces also focus on some fears that
tend to dissolve upon examination. Some
critics have raised the specter of well-paid
careerists becoming either mercenaries or a
"state within a state." Nixon, for one, dis-
misses the mercenary argument as nonsense.
The U.S. already pays soldiers a salary. Why
should a rise in pay-which for an enlisted
man might go from the present $2,900 a year
to as much as $7,300-turn Americans into
mercenaries? Said Nixon: "We're talking
about the same kind of citizen armed force
America has had ever since it began, except-
ing only in the period when we have relied
on the draft." The Pentagon itself rejects
the Wehrmacht-type army, in which men
spend all their professional lives in service.
Nixon has also addressed himself to the
possibility that a careerist army might be-
come a seedbed for future military coups.
That danger is probably inherent in any mili-
tary force, but as the President-elect points
out, a coup would necessarily come from "the
top officer ranks, not from the enlisted ranks,
and we already have a career-officer corps.
It is hard to see how replacing draftees with
volunteers would make officers more influ-
ential." Nixon might have added that con-
script armies have seldom proved any barrier
to military coups. Greece's army is made up
of conscripts, but in last year's revolution
they remained loyal to their officers, not to
their King.
Might not the volunteer army become dis-
proportionately black, perhaps a sort of in-
ternal Negro Foreign Legion? Labor Leader
Gus Tylei is one who holds that view; he
says that a volunteer army would be "low-
income and, ultimately, overwhelmingly
Negro. These victims of our social order 'pre-
fer' the uniform because of socio-economic
compulsions-for the three square meals a
day, for the relative egalitarianism of the
barracks or the foxhole, for the chance to be
promoted." Conceivably, Negroes could flock
to the volunteer forces for both a respectable
reason, upward mobility, and a deplorable
one, to form a domestic revolutionary force.
As a matter of practice rather than theory,
powerful factors would work in a volunteer
army toward keeping the proportion of
blacks about where it is in the draft army-
11%, or roughly the same as the nation as a
whole. Pay rises would attract whites as
much as blacks, just as both are drawn into
police forces for similar compensation.

t makes it Illegal to coerce an em-
ploye to buy bonds or make charitable
ertntributions; or to require him to dis-
close his own personal assets, liabilities,
or expenditures, or those of any member
of his family, unless, in the case of cer-
tain specified employees, such items
would tend to show a conflict of interest.
It provides a right to have a counsel
Or other person present, if the employees
wipes, at an interview which may lead
to disciplinary proceedings.
It accords the right to a civil action
in a Federal court for violation or
threatened violation of the act.
ihnally, it establishes a Board on Em-
ployees' Rights to receive and conduct
hearings on complaints of violation of
the act, and to determine and administer
remedies and penalties.
Some people will say, "Let us wait.
There has been a change of administra-
tion." I submit, Mr. President, that al-
th=ough they have a new umpire, it is
Still the same old ball game for Federal
employees. And it will continue to be
until Congress takes action to protect
the citizen who may be subjected to of-
ficial pressures, coercions, and commands
inconsistent with citizenship in a free
Society.
Some administrative changes have
been made by the able former Chairman
of the Civil Service Commission, Mr.
Macy. Under Mr. Macy, the Commission
last year produced new personnel forms
after deleting some privacy-invading
questions previously asked of applicants;
thy codified and strengthened their
ownr guidelines for investigations of per-
sonnel; and they encouraged manage-
ment action and concern with problems
uncovered by the subcommittee study.
T ask unanimous consent to have
printed in the RECORD an exchange of
correspondence between Mr. Macy and
me concerning our mutual interests in
behalf of the privacy and other rights of
Government employees as citizens.
There being no objection, the corre-
spondence was ordered to be printed in
the RECORD, as follows:

Sincerely yours

Chairman, Subcommittee on Constitutional
Rights, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S,
Senate, Washington, D.C.
DEAR SENATOR: In looking over the unfin-
ished business which remains in the final
days of my service and the Civil Service
Commission, I have given particular atten-
tion to your thoughtful letter of January 7
concerning letters of reprimand. I regret that
the time remaining is not sufficient to per-
mit an appropriate reply from me prior to
January 20. The Commission staff advises
me that an analysis of the questions you
have raised will necessitate inquiries to the
agencies prior to the preparation of a re-
sponse which win provide you with the sig-
nificant information you seek.
Since this will be my final communication
with you in my role as Cienmission Chair-
man I want to take the opportunity to ex
press my sincere appreciation to you for
your vigorous interest in the rights of Fed-
eral employees. While we have not always
been in agreement-or even near it--on how
to assure the best protection of employee
rights, I believe that our values and our ob-
jectives are basically Identical. Your advo-
cacy on this issue has prompted action within
the Commission and elsewhere in the Federal
Government which would not have occurred
without it, You have directed the spotlight
of Congressional concern on human issues
which required executive attention. I only
hope that our conscientious response has
contributed to the improvement we both
seek.
I am certain that additional recognition
and protection of the rights of Federal'em
ployees will evolve in the months ahead. I
am equally certain that as in the past you
and your Subcommittee will play an affirm-
ative and significant role in that evolution.
With every best wish for future health and
happiness,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN W. MACY, Jr.
Chair,man.
Last uctooer, ror Instance, former Vice
President Humphrey wisely recognized
the need for such protections and prom-
ised legislation based on the findings of
the Constitutional Rights Subcommittee
and other congressional committees.
Platforms of both major parties ac-
knowledged the problem. In the piiitferm
adopted by their convention in Miami
Beach last August, the Republican Party
stated:
The increasing government intrusion into
the privacy of its employees and of citizens
in general is intolerable. All such snooping,
meddling and pressure by the federal govern-
ment on its employees and other citizens
will be stopped and such employees, whether
or not union members, will be provided a
prompt and fair method of settling, their
grievances.
This hill will help Members of Con-
gress and the new administration to ex-
change their votes for their promises.
I am particularly encouraged by the
recent endorsement and sponsorship of
the bill by the new chairman of the Sen-
Ile Post Office and Civil Service Coln-
:nittee, the senior Senator from Wy-
iming.
Enactment of this measure will sig-
y that the spiritual and intellectual
freedom of the individual, whatever his
mployment, is the value our society
cherishes above the goals of any momen-
%ary Government program. Its passage

S. 809-INTRODUCTION OF BILL TO
ESTABLISH A FEDERAL LEADER-
SHIP PROGRAM TO PROMOTE
YOUTH CAMP SAFETY
Mr. RIBICOFF. Mr. President, I in-
troduce, for appropriate reference, a bill
to establish a Federal leadership pro-
gram to promote youth camp safety.
Each year more than 7 million children
go off to residential, day or travel camps.
These campers are mainly schoolchil-
dren, and the vast majority attend camps
during the summer vacation months. But
while a parent finds little difficulty in
ascertaining the relative safety of a child
at school, millions of parents are forced
to send their offspring to camps with
little or no knowledge of whether the
place meets basic minimum safety stand-
ards. And too often they do not.
Camping is a rapidly growing industry.
The best estimates place the number of
camps in the United States at between
10,000 and 12,000. Resident camps alone
have tripled in the last 10 years. There
are camps established in every State in
the Union.
In many cases camps virtually take the
place of parents for several weeks in
the year. Yet in 19 States there are no
regulations governing camping at all,
and, in many of the remaining States
only isolated aspects of camping are cov-
ered by law or regulation.
For instance, 40 States have no train-
ing requirements for counselors who su-
pervise aquatic activities. Forty-six
States have no regulations regarding the
condition of vehicles used for transpor-
tation or the qualifications of drivers.
The same number of States have no
regulations restricting the age of coun-
selors. Twenty-nine States fail to re-
quire annual camp inspections.
In the absence of State regulations
there are a number of excellent camping
organizations which have established
standards for camping. The American
Camping Association, with 3,400 member
camps, the scouting organizations, the
S 1099
Association of Private Camps, and
church oriented groups have all made a
substantial contribution to better camp-
ing. But a great many camps in America
do not belong to these organizations, and
it is well understood that the standards
set by private organizations lack any real
enforcement provisions behind, them
One out of every eight camps visited by
representatives of the American Camp-
ing Association in 1967 failed to meet
ACA standards. And it is generally recog-
nized these are some of the best camps in
the Nation.
The failure to establish adequate
standards for many of our camps has
had tragic consequences. In my own re-
view of this situation, I have heard
enough vertifiable horror stories to per-
suade me to seek better protection for our
youngsters.
The only real camp safety survey took
place 40 years ago when a group of dis-
tinguished youth leaders and camping
enthusiasts met in New York City to dis-
cuss camping in general. It was the con-
sensus of this group that the time had
come to establish minimum standards for
camp health and safety. The group com-
missioned a nationwide camp safety
study which remains today the only full
study of the situation. The report con-
cluded that 65 percent of all accidents
at camp could have been prevented by
better supervision or higher standards of
camp maintenance and administration.
Only a quarter of the accidents were at-
tributable to the camper's negligence,
and half of these could have been pre-
vented with more adequate supervision.
A high percentage of the injuries cov-
ered by this report were due to faulty
structures, dangerous pathways, and the
very location of the camp itself. Despite
this report, however, the call for action
issued in 1929 has never been answered.
In 1966, a report issued by the Division
of Accident Prevention of the Public
Health Service pointed to the injury and
death hazards involved in recreational
camping.
Mr. President, the purpose of this
youth camp safety bill is to provide Fed-
eral leadership in the area of camping
safety. It seems to me to be only reason-
able that our society provide parents with
a simple way of judging whether a camp
meets basic safety standards.
This bill would instruct the Secretary
of Health, Education, and Welfare, in
consultation with camping and safety
experts, to establish camp safety stand-
ards. After the publication of these
standards, each State would be encour-
aged to establish a program to insure
compliance. The bill provides for incen-
tive grants to the States to pay up to
half the cost of administering the inspec-
tion and compliance program. Camps
which met the Federal standards would
be urged to display this fact to assist
parents in their ehoice.
The bill would establish an Advisory
Council on Youth Camp Safety to con-
sult with the Secretary on the promul-
gation of safety standards. Members of
the Council would come from all areas
of the camping industry.
Before establishing safety standards,
the bill provides that the Secretary shall
survey existing safety standards pub-

lished by State and private organizations
and the effectiveness of these standards.
Mr. President, I first became aware
of the problems of camp safety through
the efforts of Mr. Mitch Kurman. Mr.
Kurman, from Westport, Conn., lost a
son several years ago in a tragic canoeing
accident in. Maine. Since that time Mr.
Kurman has become a crusader, in the
best sense of that word, for greater camp
safety. This bill is to a great extent the
result of his unceasing efforts.
There are many excellent and safe
camps which operate every year. Camp-
ing at its best can provide unmatched
opportunities for recreation and close
contact with our natural environment.
It is a memorable escape for many of the
underprivileged children trapped in the
city.
This bill would not affect the finest
camps. The bill is aimed at fly-by-night
operations and those camps which are
unaffiliated and unaccredited by respon-
sible camping organizations.
I have no desire to take the adventure
out of camping, but I see no reason why
the benefits of camping cannot be ren-
dered in a safe and healthy atmosphere.
Many camps already measure up to the
highest safety standards. Others will be
given the incentive to improve. Those
that fail to provide a safe environment
do not belong in business.
During the years that I have spon-
sored this legislation, it has gained wide-
spread public support. Additionally, I
have had the assistance and backing of
most of the major camping organiza-
tions. It is significant that those people
closest to the camping industry believe
this bill to be necessary.
This legislation provides an opportu-
nity to enhance the constructive growth
of the camping business while protect-
ing the welfare of millions of children.
I am very pleased to say that Senators
BAYN, CASE, DODD, INOUYE, JAVITS, MAG-
NUSON, M.CINTYRE, MONDALE, MUSKIE,
PELL, and TYDINGS have joined me in
sponsoring this legislation, and I ask
unanimous consent that the bill be
printed at this point in the RECORD.
The VICE PRESIDENT. The bill will
be received and appropriately referred;
and, without objection, the bill will be
printed in the RECORD.
The bill (S. 809) to provide Federal
leadership and grants to the States for
developing and implementing State pro-
grams for youth camp safety standards,
Introduced by Mr. RisicorF (for himself
and other Senators), was received, read
twice by its title, referred to the Com-
mittee on Labor and Public Welfare, and
ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as
follows:
S. 809
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That this
Act may be cited as the "Youth Camp Safety
Act".

and to provide Federal assistance and leader-
ship to the States in developing programs
for Implementing safety standards for ;uth
camps, thereby providing assurani to
parents and interested citizens that uth
camps meet minimum safety standard!
