PItOCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 89th CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION
WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1965
Senate.
The Senate met at 12 o'clock meridian,
and was called to order by the Vice Pres-
ident.
The Chaplain, Rev. Frederick Brown
Harris, D.D., offered' the 'following
prayer:
Father of all manlcirld,'as we pause
In this moment of supplication to lift
our Te Den for the emancipated realm
in which our lot is cast, a land where
the people rule, we would remember in
our thought and prayer the fettered lands
where freedom is but, a haunting memory
and an agonizing hope.
By our remembrance of them we would
send our assurance through and across
any curtain or'wall that no threats of
their present r1}thless sters will mike
America break her vow to keep alive the
remembrance gf perpetrated atrocities
until the enslaved peoples are free fro%
the spoiler's clutch and their soil is no
longer defiled by his abominations. Give
us the solemn realization that to pray
for our own progress and prosperity and
at the same title to keQp sjient, to pass
by unheeding on the other side, while the
plots of a diabolical scourgecut the very
roots of a dozen,natiorl5' future fate, is
to forfeit all right to our own high privi-
lege and heritage. Help us in these days
of crisis and destiny to face the search-
ing eyes of that One who took as His holy
mission the proclamation of liberty to
the captives and deliverance to those who
are- bound. And so this dedicated week
in the name of the God of Justice we
would make ourselves the captives of the
captive nations and beseech Thee to'use
our lips and our breath to sound forth a
trumpet that shall know no retreat un-
til all men are free from the tyranny
ofdespots.
In the Redeemer's name we pray.
Amen.

ask unanimous consent to have printed
in the RECORD an excerpt from the re-
port (No. 498), explaining the purposes
of the bill and the need for this much
desired proposed legislation.
There being no objection, the excerpt
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
PURPOSE
The purpose of the proposed legislation, as
amended, is to rectify the omission in Fed-
eral law by making it a Federal crime to kill,
kidnap, or assault the President,, the Presi-
dent-elect, the Vice President, or, if there is
no Vice President, the officer next In the
order of succession to the office of President
of the United States, the Vice-President-
elect, or any individual whole acting as
President. In addition, it makes it a Fed-
eral crime to attempt, or to conspire, to kill,
or kidnap any of the individuals designated.
STATEMENT
There was no Federal criminal jurisdiction
with respect to the assassination of the
President on November 22, 1963. It is anom-
alous that Congress has legislated in other
ways to protect the safety of the Chief
Executive and other Federal officers, but has
never made the murder of or an attack on
the President a Federal crime. Under exist-
ing Federal criminal law, title Is, United
States Code, threatening harm to the Pres-
ident is a Federal offense (sec. 871), as is
advocacy of the overthrow of the Govern-
ment by assassination of any of its officers
(see. 2358). The murder of Federal judges,
U.S. attorneys and marshals, and many other
specifically designated Federal law enforce-
ment officials is a Federal crime (sec. 1114);
as is conspiracy to injure any Federal officer
on account of, orwhile he is engaged in, the
discharge of his official duty (sec. 372).
Notwithstanding these various criminal
provisions covering other officials in Federal
service, the Federal law today fails to assure
full and complete Federal Investigative and
prosecutive jurisdiction over acts designed
to harm the Chief Executive of the United
States.
A primary advantage resulting from the
enactment of this measure would be the
assurance of clear Federal jurisdiction in the

This bill is designed to implement recom-

on "the subject made in the "Report of the
President's Commission on the Assassination
of 'President Kennedy." After a thorough
and painstaking investigation of theassassi-
nation of President Kennedy, the Commis-
blonurged that the Congress adopt legisla-

ability of many to better himself, to
attain greater perfection.
The LDS also possessed a deep com-
mitment to social justice. In fact, some
of the early Mormons, through the prac-
tice of consecrated property, sought
economic equality by deeding all property
to the church and then allotting the re-
turns from this property to members ac-
cording to their needs. While this is not
practiced today, the Mormons still have a
comprehensive welfare program that
reaches all corners of the Mormon com-
munity, assuring that none shall want.
Shortly after arriving in Utah, the
Mormons began to develop the land and
attempt colonization of the surrounding
territory. In 1855 they pushed north-
ward and founded Fort Lemhi, the first
major attempt at settlement in my own
State of Idaho. Then, in 1860, the
Mormons founded Franklin, the first
permanent settlement in the State of
Idaho.
Like Thomas Jefferson, the Mormon
settlers had an enduring faith in the
value of agricultural labor. As the first
Anglo-Saxon people to practice extensive
irrigation, the Mormons were able to
transform a semiarid region into a land
of green and productive valleys.
During the latter part of the 19th cen-
tury, the Mormons were a persecuted
people. But today they occupy a presti-
gious position in American life; one of
their members is considered a possible
candidate for the office of President of
the United States. Others have played
a prominent role in Congress and have
held such important executive positions
as Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board, Treasurer of the United States,
Secretary of Agriculture, U.S. Commis-
sioner of Education, and Secretary of
the Interior, under Democratic and Re-
publican Presidents alike.
The Mormons have attained this posi-
tion of prestige, I think, because of their
strong commitment to the clean and
wholesome life. They maintain one of
the few organized religions without a
paid clergy. Church activities permeate
the social structure of the communities
where the Mormons live, drawing people
from all stations of life into shared expe-
rience. Programs for Mormon young-
sters are well designed to help prepare
young men and women for the responsi-
bilities of adulthood.
The Mormon tabernacle choir, besides
being a source of accomplishment for the
Mormons, is certainly one of the finest
choirs in the world. At the request of
President Johnson, this choir sang at
the 1965 Presidential inauguration.
Aside from the laudable social and re-
ligious activities of the Mormons, they
have also gained respect for their en-
deavors in the field of education. They
have established several outstanding in-
stitutions of higher learning,; the largest
being Brigham Young University. In
my own State they operate a fine junior
college at Rexburg, Ricks College. The
Mormons are strongly committed to the
enlightenment of the people through ed-
ucation, and they devote a large portion
of their resources to it.

FIRST MAJOR CONCERT THRILLS FARSsmxs,
SYMPHONY Lat,oxn
(By Prof. Charles Davis, head, music depart-
ment, University of Alaska)
Last evening's capacity crowd accorded the
Chicago Symphony a tremendous ovation as
it concluded the first of two concerts in Ber-
ing Auditorium.
To residents of the Fairbanks area It was
a truly memorable evening as one of the
world's foremost symphonies conducted by
the. Internationally known Jean Martmon
became the first major orchestra ever to pre-
sent a concert in the farthest North city.
With meticulous precision and ensemble
the orchestra recreated the mood and con-
trasts of Beethoven's. Symphony No. 6-the
"Pastoral." At the outset, the vagaries of
the acoustics of the Hering stage caused mo-
mentary uncertainties in the thinly scored
section of the first movement. Quickly ad-
justing to the situation, the ensemble
demonstrated Its virtuosity in painting colors
from the quiet pastels of countryside to the
thunderous storm which interrupts the rest-
ful quiet of "the Brook."
DELICACY OP LINE
In opening an orchestral program with the
"Pastoral" the first two movements In their
predominantly restrained dynamics seem
Somewhat overlong. This reviewer might
have preferred a degree of anticipation in
the "Andante Motto Moto," as the tempo
seemed to suggest too great a degree of
repose. The serenity of this second move-
ment was characterized by great delicacy of
line and phrasing.
Certainly the third movement of the sym-
phony is a welcome change of mood, with its
Landler dance rhythm. From this movement
the heightened tension builds to its ultimate
climax In the "Storm." Here the instruments
combined with a sonority of tone that over-
whelms, still maintaining an exactness and
balance characteristic of great ensemble play-
ing. The final Allegretto was a consummate
portrayal of joy and peace.
Following the Intermission, the orchestra
turned to a composition in a contemporary
idiom-"Orchestra Variation on a Theme of
Paganini"-by Blacher. Announced by solo
violin in its original form, the theme, dis-
guised and altered, moves to various sections
of the orchestra with accompaniments In
widely contrasting rhythm and sonorities.
The complexities of rhythm combined with
a modern harmonic usage create highly en-
tertaining program fare.
Concluding the program was the familiar
tone poem "Don Juan" by Richard Strauss.
This composition, typical of the early Strauss

ECONOMII IMPACT: SMOKESCREENS OnscuRE
RroaT-To-WoEK Issue
.: (By Hobart Rowen)
The battle over repeal of section 14(b) of
the Taft. Hartley Act-those unfortunate few
words th it allow an individual State to ban
the union shop-Is about to be resumed, this
time on the House floor. The public will
thus be treated again to an appalling amount
of hokur} and buncombe on this issue. _
Those Individuals and organizations that
want to ),reserve the right-to-work laws per-
mitted b:7 section 14(b) ought to quit shad-
owboxine ~. and say forthrightly that they're
against the whole idea of labor unions.
Right or wrong, at least that position
would era the pretense that they are losing
valuable seep over the question of individual
liberty.
At the present time, 19 States have taken
ad vantage. of section 14(b) by prohibiting
any agre sment between an employer and a
Orion specifying membership In a union as
a condition of employment. Even If a com-
pany ant a union should desire a union shop,
it,would be illegal In these 19 States.
But wifie the chamber of commerce and
others w pp crocodile tears about the loss of
liberty la the other 31 States, -the' basic
motive at the right-to-work crowd to to at-
tract industry with the promise of cheap,
nonunloii labor.
And as'the AV -CIO has ably documented,
the leas respectable of the antiunion band
have a,7ose alliance with the ultraright-
wing John filch types, whose bias on this

of antiquated, antisocial, 19th century
prejudice.
Organikationa like the chamber, which are
eminently respectable, if behind the times,
fall to see the inconsistency between their
avowed support of the principle of collective
bargainh lg and their demand for continu-
ance of section 14(b).

weren't assured of well-organized, responsi-
ble labor unions to provide a steady flow of
manpower for them.
One of L.B.J.'il Texas aids confides: "When
a big national company comes in down home,
they generally ask: 'Where's the union?' If
it's not there, they're disappointed. They
want one right on tap."
But the local wheels are generally nervous.
They are skeptical of union organizers, who
are equated to invaders, men who want to
upend precious States rights. Above all, the
local men, often pillars of small-time cham-
bers of commerce, feel they can keep wages
low if the union is kept out. They freely
advertise and solicit on that basis.
The unions have floated their share of
baloney, too. Repeal of section 14(b) is not
a do-or-die proposition for union organiza-
tion, because they can and[ do survive in the
right-to-work States.
And despite denials, it 1s true that the
notion of a union shop involves a certain
element of compulsion. This ought to be
freely admitted, because the compulsion is
justifiable. Where collective bargaining is,
the law of the land, a man who Is deriving
benefits from union representation ought to'
join the union. At least, he ought to pay
dues, which is all the law requires.
The unions want to do away with section
14(b) because it Is a bone in the throat.
The Wagner Act established the principle of
collective bargaining, and then the Taft-
Hartley Act partially reneged. For 18 years
this has Invited antiunion harassment. Both
management and labor could turn their at-
tention to more useful and productive en-
deavors if section 14(b) were scrapped.
RUSSIAN ANTI-SEMITISM
Mr. HARTICE. Mr. President, I am
glad to have been a cosponsor of the reso-
lution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 17,_
which Senator Ribicoff introduced last
February and in which 67 Members
joined him. That resolution expressed
the sense of the Congress, in part, that
"the Soviet Union in the name of decency
and humanity cease executing persons
for alleged economic offenses, and fully
Permit the free exercise of religion and
the pursuit of culture by Jews and all
others within its borders."
The Senate passed that resolution by
a unanimous rollcall vote on May 14,
and it was passed by the House with
amendment last week, on July 12.
The importance of this resolution, and
the indisputable facts which called it
forth, are underlined by an article ap-
pearing in the current issue of the noted
nondenominational religious journal, the
Christian Century. Under the title "Cul-
tural Genocide in Russia," its former edi-
tor, Dr. Harold Fey, now a professor of
social ethics at the Christian Theological
Seminary in Indianapolis, discusses the
extent of anti-Semitism in the Soviet
