the request of the gentleman from Colo-

Mr. HU'rCHINSON. Mr. Speaker, re-
serving the right to object, and I shall not
object, Mr. Speaker, I would ask the gen-
tleman from Colorado to point out to the
House the improvements which the Sen-
ate has made in this bill.
Mr. ROGERS of Colorado. Mr.
Speaker, Senate amendments Nos. 1 and
2 make clear that there is no final pre-
clusion of State or local jurisdiction un-
der this act, but only a suspension there-
of. The amendments also make clear
that the suspension of State or local ju-
risdiction will terminate when Federal in-
vestigative: or prosecutive jurisdiction is
terminated.
Senate amendment No. 3 adds a new
subsection (I) to the bill and makes clear
that the Federal Bureau of Investigation
has jurisdiction over the investigation of
violations of this act. This amendment
does not diminish the existing authority
and responsibility of the Secret Service
for the protection of the President or
Vice President or for making arrests for
violations of . this act. The Senate

NATIONAL LITERACY WEEK:
Mr. ROGERS of Colorado. Mr.
Speaker, I ask unanimous consent for
the immediate consideration of the joint
resolution (H.J. Res. 4) designating the
6-day period beginning September 13,
1965, as "National Literacy Week," and
for other purposes.
The Clerk read the title of the joint
resolution.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Colo-
rado?
There was no objection.
The Clerk read the joint resolution, as
follows:
H.J. RES. 4
Whereas the month of September marks
the return to school for millions of American
children and illustrates our commitment to
the goals of an educated and enlightened
society; and
Whereas the total eradication of illiteracy
is a matter of grave concern since in the
United States there are two million adult
Americans who cannot read or write; eight
million three hundred thousand persons
twenty-five years or over who have had less
than five years of schooling; and twenty-two
million individuals of working age who have
had less than eight veers of education: and
The Clerk read the title of the joint
resolution.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Colo-
rado?
There was no objection.
The Clerk read the joint resolution, as

H.J. RES. 401
Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the President is
requested to issue a proclamation designating
November 23, 1965, as Repudiation Day in
recognition of the historic significance of the
action of the Frederick County Court on No-
vember 23, 1765, in repudiating the Stamp
Act, as a preamble to the American Revolu-
tion, and to bear witness to the Importance
that this Nation still places on a judiciary
that has the courage9 to be independent and
the wisdom and strength to protect the lib-
erties of the people against every sort of
tyranny, and calling upon the people of the
United States to observe such day with ap-
propriate ceremonies and activities.
The joint resolution was ordered to be

to a future of minimum earnings, recurrent
or persistent joblessness, social dependency,

Whereas it Is recognized that the learning
tools of reading, writing, and arithmetic
open the doors of opportunity not only to
occupational training and productive work,
but also to the larger life of mind and spirit;
and
Whereas the illiterate or near illiterate
person, while employed, may be shut off
from unlimited personal growth opportuni-
ties, as well as from occupational advance-
ment opportunities; and
Whereas adult basic education is a funda-
mental approach to independent learning, to
adjustment of manpower to changing occu-
pational requirements, to elimination of
poverty, and to the larger satisfaction in per-
sonal growth made possible through acquisi-
tion of the basic learning tools: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and Rouse of Rep-
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the six-day
period beginning September 13, 1065, and
ending September 18, 1965, both dates inclu-
sive, is hereby designated as "National Lit-
eracy Week" in recognition and appreciation
of the private and public organizations
which are working to reduce illiteracy in the
United States. The President of the United
States is authorized and requested to Issue a
Mr. ROGERS of Colorado. Mr.
Speaker, I ask unanimous consent for

olution (H. Con. Res. 448).
The Clerk read the resolution, as fol-
lows:
H. Cox. RES. 448
Resolved by the House of Representatives
(the Senate concurring), That the President
is authorized and requested to issue a proc-
lamation designating September 3, 1965, as
Crusade for Safety Day and calling upon the
people of the United States to Observe such
day with appropriate ceremonies and activ-
Ities designed to reduce traffic accidents.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection

There was no objection.
Mr. FRIEDEL. Mr. Speaker, I want to
thank the distinguished member of the
Judiciary Committee, the gentleman
from Colorado [Mr. ROGERS], for bring-
ing by resolution before the House for
action.
This House Concurrent Resolution 448
authorizes and requests the President to
issue a proclamation designating Sep-

Day." The reason we have specified

sued just before the Labor Day weekend.
Mr. Speaker, it is shocking to note that
during the year 1964, 48,000 Americans
were killed in traffic accidents. Another
3,840,000 Americans were injured and
there were 285,000 pedestrian casualties.
We must make an all-out effort to stop
this slaughter by automobile.
I urge all of my colleagues to support
this resolution as one means of calling
to the attention of the public the need
for safe driving. Should the President
comply with our request to issue a
proclamation designating September 3 as
Crusade for Safety Day I think he will
urge drivers and pedestrians to be espe-
cially careful during the Labor Day week-
end, but to drive carefully at all times to
save lives.
I also urge all citizens in every State
of the Union to join the Safety First Club
of Maryland in the celebration for the
special traffic safety stamp and the "cru-
sade of safety" to protect their own lives,
the lives of their dear ones, their neigh-
bors, and their fellow Americans.
The President has indicated that he
will issue such a proclamation if re-
quested to do so by the Congress. Again
I urge my colleagues to support my
resolution.
The concurrent resolution was agreed
to.
A motion to reconsider was laid on
the table.

Mr. BLATNIK. Mr. Speaker, I move

sideration of the bill (S. 1648) to pro-
vide grants for public works and devel-
opment facilities, other financial assist-
ance and the planning and coordination
needed to alleviate conditions of sub-
stantial and persistent unemployment
and underemployment in economically
distressed areas and regions.
The motion was agreed to.
