Douse of Representatives
The House met at 12"o'clock noon.
The Chaplain, Rev. Edward G. Latch,
D.D., offered the following prayer:
Let the peace of God rule in your
hearts.-Colossians 3: 15.
0 God, our Father, who art above us
and, yet within us, afar off yet very near,
we pause in silence before Thee knowing
that with Thee all of life glows with
meaning and grows with purpose. Quiet
the turmoil in our spirits: soothe the ir-
ritations in our hearts and in quietness
and confidence may we open the inner
doors of our being to Thee.
Speak to us through our consciences
and help us to be more honest with our-
selves and more friendly with others.
Speak to us through our wills and help
us to choose the right way that the deci-
sions made this day may make the days
to come useful and joyful for all.
Speak to us through the needs of the
world and help us to live in the confi-
dence that justice can conquer injustice,
peace can overcome war, and that love
is stronger than hate.
So speak to us and to all our people
that this advent season may bear witness
to a new birth of Thy spirit in the hearts
of men. In, the name of Christ we pray.
Amen.

APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES ON
H.R. 13893, APPROPRIATIONS FOR
FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AND RE-
LATED AGENCIES, 1968
Mr. PASSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to take from the
Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 13893)
making appropriations for foreign as-
sistance and related agencies for the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1968, and for
other purposes, with Senate amend-
ments thereto, disagree to the Senate
amendments, and agree to the confer-
ence asked by the Senate.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Lou-
isiana?
Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, reserving
the right to object, as I understand it
the other body has added between $500
million and $600 million, well above a
half billion dollars, to the so-called for-
eign aid bill as it left the House. I wonder
if the gentleman from Louisiana would
like to have the House instruct the con-
ferees at this time to stay with the House
position or await further developments?
Mr. PASSMAN. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentleman from Iowa yield?
Mr. GROSS. I am glad to yield to my
friend from Louisiana.
Mr. PASSMAN. I do not feel it is neces-
sary to instruct the House conferees at
this time. The House conferees have had
a very good record in the past of bring-
ing back conference reports to the House
that followed pretty much the same form
in which the bills were passed by the
House. I would hope the gentleman from
Iowa would withdraw his reservation of
objection now, and give the conferees an
opportunity to go to conference, and at
the proper time, if we are not able to
hold the House position in substance, we
may then come back and ask for instruc-
tions.
Mr. GROSS. I noted last week that the
gold supply of this country has now
dwindled to only a little more than $12
billion from a- stock of gold that we had
a few years ago of some $29 billion. It
has been my hope that the foreign hand-
out bill would be one place where we
could practice economy and demonstrate
to the American people that we recognize
a very serious financial situation in this
Nation.
Mr. PASSMAN. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield further?
Mr. GROSS. I yield to the gentleman
from Louisiana.
Mr. PASSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I can as-
sure the gentleman we are going to take
all those things into account when we go
to conference. It will not be a quick and
easy conference. I remember one year
when we were in conference on Christ-
mas Eve. Conceivably, that could hap-
pen again. We certainly are not going
to go to this conference with the inten-
tions of capitulating to the other body,
that I can assure the gentleman from
Iowa.
Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, in view of
the gentleman's intention and assurance
of upholding the position of the House,
I withdraw my reservation of objection.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from
Louisiana? The Chair hears none, and
appoints the following conferees: Messrs.
PASSMAN, ROONEY of New York, Mrs. HAN-
SEN Of Washington, Messrs. COHELAN,
LONG of Maryland, MCFALL, MAHON,
SHRIVER, CONTE, Mrs. REID Of Illinois, and
Messrs. RIEGLE and Bow.
PERMISSION TO HAVE UNTIL MID-
NIGHT TONIGHT TO FILE A CON-
FERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 12080,
SOCIAL SECURITY AMENDMENTS
OF 1967
Mr. MILLS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unani-
mous consent that the conferees on the
part of the House have until midnight
tonight, December 11, 1967, to file a con-
ference report on the bill, H.R. 12080, the
Social Security Amendments of 1967.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from
Arkansas?
Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, reserving the
right to object, would the distinguished
chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means advise the House, in answer to
the question that we have been custom-
arily making at this juncture, if the con-
ference has been completed and the re-
port is printed and ready for filing?
Mr. MILLS. Yes. The conference was
completed last Thursday sometime,
around 8 or 8:30.
Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I judged from
the news media this was true. I am glad
to hear it from the gentleman, and I
withdraw my reservation of objection.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from
Arkansas?
There was no objection.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM FOR WEDNESDAY, DE-
CEMBER 13, 1967
(Mr. ALBERT asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. ALBERT. Mr. Speaker, in view of
the unanimous consent which was just
obtained by the distinguished gentleman
from Arkansas, and after consulting
with him and other Members of the lead-
ership, I desire to advise the House that
the gentleman will plan to call up the
conference report on the Social Security
Act Amendments on Wednesday of this
week.
