February 21, 1967 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -HOUSE 1-11617
During our discussion of the article, it was
obvious that quite a few of the Children were
following newspaper and TV accounts of the
affairs of Mr. Powell, and were quite Incensed
that a Congressman would so involve him-
self. Before the discussion was over, these
children compiled a "Code. of Behavior for
Congressmen"-a copy of which Is enclosed.
I am also sending one to Mr. Stephen Young,
one of our Senators.
Respectfully,
Mrs. JOHN FLUKE.
A CODE OF BEHAVIOR FOR CONGRESSMEN
(By a Sixth-grade class, Ashland, Ohio)
1. Congressmen should not convert tax
money to their personal use.
II. Congressmen should attend at least
80% of the sessions of Congress.
III. Congressmen should not use racism

tax money spent by them, and their books
should be examined regularly.

THE APPEASEMENT OF TYRANTS
(Mr. ASHBROOK (at the request of
Mr. PETTIS) was granted permission to
extend his remarks at this point In the
RECORD And to Include extraneous
matter,)
Mr. ASHBROOK, Mr. Speaker, it will
be remembered that almost 4 years ago
the U.S. Senate held its first secret ses-
sion In 20 years to debate the need for
emergency action to Increase the de-
fenses of the Nation against the danger
of nuclear missile attack, It is now
known, with technical details still classi-
fled, that Senator STROM THURMOND
revealed that the Soviet Union had
deployed an antimissile complex at Len-
ingrad, leaving the United States be-
hind in the antimissile field. Senator
THURMOND pleaded for an additional
appropriation for $196 million to accom-
plish preproduction engineering on an
antimissile system. History now relates
that the Senate voted 58 to 18 against
THURMOND's proposal.
Today, almost 4 years later, the De-
fense Department is still debating the
pros and cons of the antimissile Issue,
but a new development has been added.
It seems that now we are going to pre-
vail upon the Soviets not to accelerate
the antimissile race because of the cost
to both nations and in view of the fact
that modern technology cannot produce
a system which would be adequate
enough to prevent the loss of many,
many lives, anyway, It Is argued that we
should persuade the Soviets to relinquish
the idea of a massive antimissile defense
in keeping with the policy of friendly
relations with the Communist countries.
If the following article from the Chicago
Tribune for today, February 21, 1967, Is
any indication, the policy of killing the
enemy with. kindness has been a danger-
ous waste of time, The subheading of
the article states that the Soviet Union
Is "Not Interested in Pact With U.S."

PROPOSED JOINT COMMITTEE ON 7

one I first Introduced in 1964 with two
exceptions. The original resolution
called for membership to be made up
of seven Members of, the House and
seven Members of the Senate without
regard to their membership on other
committees. This resolution calls for
nine Members from each body, to be
selected from the respective Appropri-
ations, Armed Services, and Foreign
Affairs Committees. This change is de-
signed to secure the necessary coordina-
tion between the national security, for-
eign policy, and financial aspects of our
national intelligence policy.
The second change is In the mandate
of the joint committee set out in section
2(a) of the original resolution which
required the joint committee to make
studies of:
First, the activities of each informa-
tion and intelligence agency of the
United States;
Second, the problems relating to the
foreign information and intelligence
programs; and
Third, the problems relating to the
gathering of information and intelli-
gence affecting the national security,
and its coordination and utilization by
the various departments, agencies, and
Instrumentalities of the United States.
I have added a fourth item for the
joint committee in this resolution-"the
extent to which each information and
intelligence agency of the United States
is providing financial and/or technical
support for nongovernmental Institu-
tions,organizations, and Individuals for
the conduct of activities within the
United States and abroad, and the pro-
priety of such support."
The need for charging the joint coin-
. mittee with this additional area of study
has been made obvious by the events of
the past week. The need for the cre-
ation of such a joint committee has been
apparent for some time.
The disclosure last year that Michigan
State University was operating a pollee
training program for the Diem govern-
ment in Vietnam with close CIA involve.
ment: the use as a legal defense against
slander by a CIA employee the fact of
national security considerations; the
sponsorship by the CIA of all institute of
foreign policy studies at a distinguished
university; and now the disclosure that
CIA funds were channeled through front
foundations to academic, business, and
labor institutions have all raised ques-
tions about the wisdom of our intelli-
gence policies and operations. It can be
argued persuasively that they reflect ad-
versely on the creditability of all U.S.
organizations conducting programs
abroad, and weaken the confidence of
the American people In their universities,
their business associations, their labor
unions, and their foundations.
It is particularly serious that our uni-
versities and colleges and those who
study and teach In them have been com=
promised In the eyes of our own people
and in the eyes of the world. We must
be sure that we have not reached the un-
fortunate state of which former Uni-
versity of Chicago President Dr. Robert
Hutchins spoke when he said:
What the country needs most of the uni-
versity, and what only the university can
supply, Is intellectual leadership. The uni-
versity could fashion the mind of the age.
Now it is the other way around, the demands
of the age are fashioning the mind , . . of
the university.
I do not think it is appropriate to talk
in terms of CIA infiltration of these
organizations and institutions. As
some of my colleagues have already
pointed out, perhaps we have been de-
ficient here in the Congress in failing to
provide ample funds for appropriate U.S.
representation at international meetings
through open channels. Perhaps we
have failed to realize that the activities
of many of the organizations which have
been named in the past several days are
sufficiently worthwhile to stand on their
own merits, without the taint of secret
support.
Nor is it sufficient to talk only In terms
of control of intelligence activities, As
the excellent series of the New York
Times on the CIA pointed out last spring,
whatever the institutional forms of con-
trol, it is the substance of those controls
that is most important. Review of ac-
tivities without the ability to correct and
contribute is meaningless and does not
fulfill our responsibilities as a coequal
branch of Government.
I am convinced that the Congress
must have a continuing and contributory
role in the conduct of our intelligence
policies. No responsible person would
suggest that we can be without intelli-
gence agencies, but they must be an
instrument of U.S. foreign policy, not a
burden on it.
Many of the specific questions that
have been raised not only in the past
week, but in the past several years will
be put to CIA Director Helms when he
appears before the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee this afternoon. These
briefings are worthwhile, but they will
not substitute for a joint committee
permanently charged with the responsi-
bility to oversee and advise the intelli-
gence community. To those who argue
that the Congress is not sufficiently re-
sponsible or trustworthy to handle this
assignment, I would suggest that many
of the errors in judgment that have
taken place might have been avoided if
the Congress had been consulted.
In my judgment the mandate of the
Joint Committee on Foreign Information
and Intelligence which I propose today is
sufficiently broad to deal not only with
the present disclosures but with the long.
term dilemmas of intelligence policy.
Some of the questions we must con-
alder are:
What is the necessary role of secret
intelligence gathering agencies in a free
and open society?
To what extent should intelligence
gathering agencies also engage in opera-
tional activities?
Are there lints beyond which a na-
tion's intelligence community should not
go regardless of the forms of institu-
tional control?
To what extent should nonintelligence
activities of non-governmental organiza-
tions, institutions and individuals be
used, wittingly or unwittingly, as tools
of the intelligence community?
Mr. Speaker, we have an obligation to
deal, as a legislative body, with these
problems not just for this crisis but for
the long term. I urge early adoption of
this resolution and the creation of a
Joint Committee on Foreign Information
and Intelligence.
FDA APPROVAL OF FISH PROTEIN
CONCENTRATE
(Mr. MORSE of Massachusetts (at the
request of Mr. PETTIS) was granted Per-
mission to extend his remarks at this
point in the RECORD and to include ex-
traneous matter.)
Mr. MORSE Massachusetts. Mr.
Speaker, the Food and Drug Administra-
tion recently granted approval for the
manufacture of a fish protein concen-
trate which, hopefully, as it is made
available to undernourished people in
underdeveloped countries, will play an
important part in our efforts to help the
people in India, in Africa and, in fact,
throughout the world,
I am inserting in the RECORD today an
article published Sunday, February 5,
outlining much of the historical back-
ground of this additive which has occa-
sionally been referred to as "a miracle
food." It was written for the Boston
Herald by our distinguished colleague,
the gentleman from Massachusetts,
HASTINGS KEITH who, of course, repre-
sents the renowned fishing port of New
Bedford.
My current interest in fish protein con-
centrate is prompted by my membership
on the Foreign Affairs Committee, for I
realize the extraordinary assistance it
could give use in Improving our "im-
age" in world affairs. But, Mr. Speaker,
my interest antedates my membership
on that committee and in fact my mom-
bership in the Congress of the United
States.
I first heard about this extraordinary
product during my service as admin-
istrative assistant to Senator Saltonstall.
Dr. Ezra Levin had written to the Sena-
tor protesting FDA's handling of the fish
flour petition submitted by his company,
the V1oBin Corp. VioBin makes other
health products besides fish flour and he
was afraid to rock the boat too much,
fearing petty reprisals in the form of
FDA rejection of his other petitions.
Senator Paul Douglas, of Illinois, Dr.
Levin's home State, and Senator Salton-
stall engaged in the FPC fight with
great determination. Neither of them
could tolerate unfairness-especially of
powerful government agencies to the
"little guy." To persuade FDA that the
fish protein concentrate was not objec-
tionable-that, in fact, it was less objec-
tionable than some foods currently on
the market, Senator Douglas offered
snacks on the Senate floor of fried grass-
hoppers, chocolate-covered ants, and so
forth. Shortly after Saltonstall and
Douglas became involved our colleagues
HASTrNOs KEITH and BILL BATES joined
in.
KEITH'S Interest dates back to about
'1960 when Charles Lewin, a civic-minded
