House of Representatives
testimony on our opening day due to the
fact the House met at 11 a.m. Fifty
minutes of that hour were taken up
by the gentleman from New York
[Mr. CELLER] reading a prepared state-
ment, leaving 10 minutes for questions
by members of the subcommittee. Our
hearings were recessed subject to a date
convenient for the gentleman from New
York [Mr. CELLER] to reappear and com-
plete his testimony. Today was set as
the time convenient, after agreement
was reached with the gentleman from
New York [Mr. CELLER]. But Mr. CEL-
LER later refused to reappear and com-
plete his.testimony.
Mr. Speaker, our subcommittee has
lost one week, of hearings in, an effort to
accommodate the gentleman from New
York [Mr. CELLER].
Therefore, I now ask unanimous con-
sent that our subcommittee may, this
afternoon, sit and hear testimony from
interested Members of the House, while
the House is in the Committee of the
Whole.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
Mr. POFF. Mr. Speaker, reserving
the right to object, and may I say fur-
ther I shall not,ol}ject, I understand that
the request Js confined .to time during
general debate in the House today?
Mr. FEIGHAN. Yes.
Mr. POFF. May I also say it has
been the custom in the past to, make
such a request only on a day-to-day
basis. I assume the gentleman expects
to pursue that practice?
Mr. FEIGHAN. My request is for this
afternoon only.
Mr. POFF. I understand the gentle-
man does not anticipate some time later
to make the request beyond one day?
Mr. FEIGHAN. No, not at all.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Ohio?
There was no,objection.
COMMITTEE ON INTERIOR AND
INSULAR AFFAIRS
Mr. HALEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent that the Committee
on Interior and -Insular Affairs may sit
today during general debate in the
House.
The, SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from
Florida?
There was no objection.

The House met at 42 o'clock noon.
The Chaplain, Rev.Bernard Braskamp,
offered tke.following prayer:
Colossians 3: 23: And whatsoever ye
do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not
unto men.
0 Thou God of. infinite grace, give us
a calm and courageous spirit and an in-
trepid and, an indomitable faith as we
daily find ourselves challenged by Thy
greatness and goodness, and constrained
by Thy love and care to serve Thee and
our fellow men.
May the least as well as the greatest,
the weakest as well as the strongest have
a share in rendering faithful and valu-
able service to our beloved country and
all mankind.
Grant that our minds and hearts may
never accept the verdict of those mo-
ments of futility and frustration or take
counsel with our moods of anxiety and
fear.
Inspire us to attempt great ventures
in the ways of living that are noble and
magnanimous and may our whole life
be manifestly a glorious witness to the
spirit of good will toward all the mem-
bers of the human family.
Hear us in the name of our blessed
Lord. Amen.
The Journal of the proceedings of
yesterday was read and approved.
MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE
A message from the Senate by Mr.
Arrington, one of its clerks, announced
that the President pro tempore, pur-
suant to 49 Stat. 425, as amended. by
Public. Law 85-474, appointed the fol-
lowing Members on the part of the Sen-
ate to the Interparliamentary Union
Conference to be held in Copenhagen,
Denmark, August 20 to 28, 1964: Mr.
ROBERTSON, Mr. TALMADGE, Mr. THUR-
MOND, Mrs. NEUBERGER, Mr. METCALF, Mr.
MORTON, and Mr. TOWER.
(Mr. FEIGHAN asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. FEIGHAN. Mr. Speaker, hear-
ings on pending immigration legislation
were opened 1 week ago today by the
Subcommittee on Immigration and Na-
tionality. Our first witness was Con-
gressman EMANUEL CELLER, chairman
of. the House Judiciary Committee and
sponsor of H.R. 7700, the major pending
,bill. We were limited to 1 hour of
House for 1 minute and to revise and ex-
tend his remarks.)
Mr. ROGERS of Florida. Mr. Speak-
er, latest reports that Venezuela has
formally proposed that the nations of
the hemisphere adopt strong sanctions
against Cuba gives renewed opportunity
for U.S. leadership within the Organiza-
tion of American States.
The Venezuelan proposal calls for col-
lective break in diplomatic relations with
the Castro regime, thus affecting Mexico,
Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia, the only
countries in Latin America continuing
such relations. Venezuela also wants
suspension of trade between OAS mem-
ber nations and Cuba, and is also press-
ing for a halt to air and sea traffic to and
from Cuba and Latin America.
Adoption of such steps would do much
to further U.S. policy of placing Castro
in solitary confinement within this hem-
isphere. I have long advocated strong
action by the OAS in meeting the Cuban
threat to this hemisphere, and have also
urged that air and sea access to and from
Cuba and OAS nations be closed, along
with telegraph communications as well.
The Venezuelan Government is to be
commended for its initiative, and I cer-
tainly support adoption of these meas-
ures by the OAS.
June 24 marks the date when votes will
be taken on the Venezuelan proposal to
bring the matter before the OAS con-
vened in Washington. I, urge that the
United States undertake ' new efforts to
assure that the question be carried be-
fore the full organization of American
States, and that U.S. representatives will
press vigorously for adoption of strong
sanctions against Communist Castro.
GUNS IN AIRPLANES
(Mr. WYMAN asked and was given
permission to address the House "for I
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. WYMAN. Mr. Speaker, since the
recent slaying of pilot and crew of a com-
mercial F-27 in California recently, the
problem of passenger and crew air safety
is recognized more clearly as serious and
urgent. I have been drafting legislation
in this field for some time. Today I am
introducing this. legislation, convinced
that the proposals to date have not gone
far enough in the public protection.
My bill will prohibit the act of carry-
ing firearms or explosives on board com-
mercial aircraft without first declaring
them. It will Apply to all except the
Secret Service, the FBI, and FAA inspec-
tors. It will give the carriers the right
to search baggage and person at the car-
rier's option, and it will punish the act
