Monitor pinpointed the perplexing ques-
tion, facing those concerned with our
space flight program: What do we plan
to do with the space flight capability we
are now developing?
The Monitor editorial of July 23, 1966,
follows :
GEMINI'S CHALLENGE MONITOR
The flight of Gemini 10 was another thrill-
ing stop forward in the American manned
space flight program. The ability to rendez-
vous with multiple targets, the ability to
pick up an auxiliary rocket to increase
maneuverability, these add considerable
scope to what spacecraft can do.
In demonstrating this for the first time,
Astronauts John Young and Michael Col-
lins are to be heartily congratulated for a
job well done. It has brought closer the
day when the United States will have a
fully operational space flight capability.
It also underscores the awkward ques-
tion, for what is this capacity being de-
veloped?
It will indeed carry men to the moon.
But that is no end in itself. In fact, the
moon goal was set largely as a target
which would polarize the effort to develop
a general space flight capacity. The admin-
istration has yet to specify what it wants
to use that capacity for.
Vexed with the budget squeeze due to
the Vietnamese war, the administration
is reluctant to commit itself to costly long-
term space objectives. But the lead time
for space projects is short. While the lunar
landing is several years away, work already
is running out for many space engineering
teams.
The civilian space budget has been run-
ning to roughly $5 billion a year. To keep
its teams together and maintain momen-
tum, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration reportedly would like to
see the budget running higher. It also
wants an explicit new goal beyond the
lunar landing. This goal might be a com-
mitment to send men to Mars or to build
and staff a moon base.
Whatever share of the national wealth
should be devoted to manned space flight,
the United States most urgent need in
space is for a clear vision of what to do

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JOHN E. MOSS
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, July 12, 1966
Mr. MOSS. Mr. Speaker, the Sacra-
mento Bee on August 1, 1966, editorially
comments upon recent developments
relating to the CIA. it seems that this
Agency has recently been involved in a
series of episodes more nearly resembling
the script of "Batman" than that of a
responsible agency of the Government,
with tremendous power for good or evil,
with the ability to constructively or de-
structively contribute to the image of the
United States.
I derive 'no pleasure from finding my-
self in agreement with the criticism
which has been more recently directed
against the Agency, but I must confess
that after the most careful and thought-
ful evaluation, I think the time for closer This colors J an 1 me.ningful stamp

CIA RETAINS ITS LEASE ON DANGEROUS
SECRECY
In the area of secrecy all kinds of evils and
suspicions grow. The United States Senate
itself incurred some of the suspicion that has
been directed against the Central Intelligence
Agency when It closed its doors to the public
and voted 61-28 not to broaden its "surveil-
lance" of the CIA.
Before the Senate was a resolution to
broaden the Senate committee "supervising"
the CIA to include some members from the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, headed
by J. WILLIAM FULSRIGHT of Arkansas.
Final Senate action sent the Controversial
resolution to the Senate Foreign Services
Committee, where it will surely die, since its
chairman, Senator RICHARD B. RUSSELL, is
strongly opposed to it.
RussELL wants to confine Senate "super-
visory" powers over the CIA to its present
seven-man committee drawn from the
Foreign Services and Appropriations Com-
mittees.
The Senate has thereby failed to furnish
the towering CIA, now bigger than the State
Department, with the cong:esrional over-
look essential to public confidence and
possibly to national safety.
The present CIA watchdog committee has
not been allowed to supervise, according to
RUSSELL'S own admission. After the abortive
Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, RUSSELL said he
never had been appraised of the invasion plan
and, if he had, he would have opposed it.
Under the present CIA directives it is obliged
to advise only the National Security Council
a limited obligation which enables it to stay
within the shadows of secrecy.
The CIA may not actually make policy but
there is strong evidence it can create situa-
tions which do make policy. This was so in
the intervention of the U.S. in the Dominican
Republic, in the Bay of Pigs, in the installa-
tion of Ngo Dinh Diem as a preliminary to
giving the U.S. lodgement in South Viet
Nam, in its enterprise in Iran and Guatemala.
Matters have now reached a point where al-
most every coup in the world is attributed
by most nations to the CIA. Both its
activities and its suspected ones are so vital
to the national safety that it should be kept
under the tight control of the president and
certainly under the Inspection at least, of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

ployees and funds available, give It a strong
advantage over competing departments, such
as State, in displaying and selling its wares
in the governmental market-place. Finally,
its necessary secrecy-and secrecy often be-
yond what 1s necessary-shield it from many
of the traditional American forms of gov-
ernmental control.
Extraordinary measures are needed to
check this powerful agency, but in the past
these measures have not been forthcoming.
Despite the fact that the CIA has been
surveyed by no less than six aid hoc bodies,
five different parts of the Executive Branch,
and four Congressional subcommittees, little
that. is meaningful has been accomplished.
The ad hoc investigations have been too
sporadic, the Executive groups too limited,
the Congressional subcommittees too eager
to be discreet.
None of the first three ad hoc investiga-
tions was very thorough. The first of them,
a task force of the First Hoover Commission
headed by Ferdinand Eberstadt, reported in
1949 on national security organization in
general and gave only passing mention to
the still-new CIA. It did, however, find the.
agency "sound in principle, but ... not now
properly organized," and recommended that
"vigorous efforts be made to improve the in-
ternal structure of the Central Intelligence
Agency and the quality of its product." 13
Another special survey, conducted by a three-
man panel headed by Allen Dulles (then a
lawyer in private practice), reported to the
President and the National Security Council
in 1951; its findings were never opened to the
public. It may be presumed that the alleged
CIA failure to predict the Communist Chin-
ese invasion of Korea was a central point of
consideration for the group; their report; is
said to have found "much cause for dissatis-
faction." 63 That their recommendations
were probably accepted in large degree is evi-
denced by the fact that, shortly after the re-
port was circulated, Dulles was made Deputy
Director of the CIA. A third survey-this
time of general CIA organiziation and per-
formance-was made in 1954 by a four-man
group, chaired by Lieutenant General James
H. Doolittle; it came at a time when Senator
Joseph McCarthy was threatening to inves-
tigate the "Communists"' in the intelligence
community and probably was meant to head
off what would have been a disastrous fishing
expedition (the hearings were never held).
Like the Dulles panel, Doolittle's group made
only a private report, but it simultaneously
issued, through the White House, a very
brief public statement praising the CIA for
"a creditable job" (though it also felt that
there were "important areas in which the
CIA organization, administration, and op-
erations can and should be improved.") 64
Far more detailed than any of these in-
vestigations, indeed the most thorough gov-
ernmental study of the intelligence commu-
nity yet produced, was the work of the five-
man task force of the Second Hoover Com-
mission, led by General Mark W. Clark.

Central Intelligence Agency, but he is
proposing to create a standing commit-
tee, not a subcommittee, and he proposes
to do it by having the selections made
by the members of three other standing
committees of the Senate.
I know of no instance where that has
been done. Of course, a subcommittee
can be extinguished at the end of a ses-
sion of the Senate-it is extinguished-
unless it is renewed by the full commit-
tee. This resolution proposes what would
be a permanent committee.
Mr. PASTORE. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. I yield to
the Senator from Rhode Island.
Mr. PASTORE. Is the Senator from
Georgia saying that if the resolution
now before us and reported by the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations in its pres-
ent form had been sponsored from the
floor, the resolution would have been re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules and
Administration?
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. It would
have been referred either to the Commit-
tee on Rules and Administration or to
the Committee on Armed Services.
Mr. PASTORE. Mr. President, may
we have a parliamentary ruling?
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. I am con-
fident it would have gone to one of those
two committees. In my judgment, it
would have been referred to the Com-
mittee on Armed Services.
Mr. PASTORE. May we ask for an
official ruling?
At the same time, in connection with
that, may I ask if the resolution which
the Senator from Minnesota [Mr. Mc-
CARTHY] introduced was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations?
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. That was
because he asked to have the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations conduct the in-
vestigation. He spelled that out in the
resolution. He was not letting anyone
else in on that.
Mr. President, there are some other
unusual features about this.
Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. FULBRIGHT. As to selection, I
would be disposed to accept an amend-
ment to have the members selected in
the same way as any other committee.
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. I am not
taking an unusual privilege. It should
be the same as any other committee.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. This is not essen-
tial to the resolution at all. If the Sena-
tor wishes to have members selected in
the other fashion, it is perfectly all right
with me, and I am sure that it is with
the other members of the committee.
The simple proposition is whether or
not the Senate, in its wisdom, wishes to
take action on a matter of this kind or
continue this vague situation.
There have been 200 resolutions show-
ing discontent about it.
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia.. That would
be revision 10 or 12 in the effort to get
this resolution approved in. some form.
It has been rewritten, rewritten, and re-
written to avoid the jurisdiction of the
appropriate committee, or committees,
which should handle it.
Let me point out another novel thing.
On every other standing committee of
the Senate, the chairman is selected by
the Senate. What does this resolution
provide? It provides that the chairman
be elected by members of the standing
committee.
It deviates from the practice that has
obtained since the inception of the Sen-
ate. The Senate has elected the chair-
men of committees. Here it is proposed
that this is a special case, that owing to
the peculiar nature of this agency, we
should let the new committee take away
jurisdiction from the Senate itself to
elect the chairman.. That is a most un-
usual provision. It is one that the Com-
mittee on Rules should examine after the
Committee on Armed Services has ex-
amined into the functions of the sub-
committee.
Now, Mr. President, as I say, this
resolution has been rewritten and re-
written and rewritten time and again in
an effort to avoid the ordinary parlia-
mentary processes of this body. Under
rule XXV, there is no doubt in my mind
that this resolution should be considered
by the Armed Services Committee. I do
not know what the Parliamentarian
would say, but I do know what the rules
provide.
I am therefore glad to submit this
parliamentary inquiry. If this resolu-
tion were introduced for appropriate ref-
erence, to what committee would this
resolution be referred?
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Chair
wishes to ask the Senator from Georgia,
is he referring now to the resolution as it
was reported-
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. Yes.
The VICE PRESIDENT (continuing).
By the clerk from the Committee on For-
eign Relations?
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. Yes.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Under a cur-
sory examination of this resolution,
there is a feeling on the part of the Chair
that in light of the--
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. I ask the
Chair if he would examine into the reso-
lution as to the agencies covered, the
Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense
Intelligence Agency, and the others
which are involved, and the jurisdiction
that is now fixed, before he makes a
ruling.
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Senator
is posing a hypothetical case. I want to
make that clear at this point, because
the resolution before the Senate comes
from the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions.
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. That is
correct.
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Senator
poses the question, if this resolution had
been introduced from the floor of the
Senate, and asked for appropriate re-
ferral; where would It have gone to? On
a cursory examination, it appears to deal
with matters of national security, which
is the subject matter covered by the Com-
mittee on Armed Services and that is the
committee to which the resolution would
be referred.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, will
the Senator from Georgia yield at that
point?.
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia. I would
not wish to yield right now, although
I am glad to-
The VICE PRESIDENT. This ruling
does not relate to the proposi ion that is
presently before the Senate.
Mr. RUSSELL of Georgia I under-
stand that. I am not complai dog. I am
not saying this is an illegal procedure.
I say it is an extraor0inari- procedure
that is resorted to only for -wcial pur-
poses by committees when the , write bills
within the committee and d, not intro-
duce them from the floor. hat is the
objection I am making. I s:j. for that
reason, that a point of orde ;hould be
sustained by the Chair, and :pis resolu-
tion should not go to the c, lendar but
should be referred to the Coriunittee on
Armed Services, so that we wild at least
have an opportunity to have some kind
of hearing from the agencies affected as
to what effect they think thi-. resolution
might have upon them and t cir opera-
tions.
Mr. President, I want to (?lear up a
misconception which has a ripen here,

gtT A E~ b.try 17, 1966
The Texan-by-adoption, who looked like
a polished cowboy and wore bushy white
sideburns, has been recognized by many as
the idea man behind the Marshall plan after
World War II.
He was a financial backer of the Liberty
League that fought the Now Deal in the
1930's. But in 1940 he joined the Office of
the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs
under Nelson A. Rockefeller, and later be-
came a deputy to Jesse Jones, then Federal
Loan Administrator. He was named Assist-
ant Secretary of Commerce in charge of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation's foreign
activities and, as such, headed several of its
wartime subsidiaries and was vice president
of the Export-Import Bank.
Early in 1944 he resigned his Commerce
post to become War Surplus Administrator,
to handle disposal of Government plants and
surplus material after the war. He resigned
as Administrator 8 months later after Con-
gress repudiated his ideas on the sale of Fed-
eral real estate.
OPINION OF CARTELS
During hearings on his appointment as
Assistant Secretary of State, Congress made
clear it had not forgotten the dispute that
preceded his withdrawal as Surplus Admin-
istrator. He was asked:
"How do you feel about cartels?" and
"What are your business connections?" On
cartels, Mr. Clayton shot back: "A cartel
smells the same to me by whatever name it
may be called." To the other, often-asked
question, he replied that he received daily
reports of the total sales and transactions of
Anderson, Clayton & Co., which "are thrown
in the wastebasket." His frankness im-
pressed the Senators and they approved his
nomination.
When diplomacy became inextricably in-
terwoven with economics in the final months
of World War II, Mr. Clayton was appointed
by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as As-
sistant Secretary of State for Economic Af-
fairs in December 1944, to keep the diplo-
matic and economic fields coordinated with-
in the State Department.
Twenty months later he was elevated to
the higher post of Under Secretary of State
for Economic Affairs. Although a neophyte
diplomat at the start of his State Department
days, Mr. Clayton carried on and developed
the reciprocal trade policies inaugurated by
Cordell Hull. in reply to Congressional
criticism of his big business background
and trading policies, Mr. Clayton always
contended that he was laboring for the good
of his country, not for any private business
interests.
As a cotton merchant, Mr. Clayton traveled
in many countries and acquired early the in-
ternational viewpoint that made him one of
the chief architects of the postwar foreign
policy of the United States. His observations
in Europe and as his country's representa-
tive at the Geneva Trade Conference in 1945-
46 produced' the memorandum to Secretary
of State George C. Marshall that was one of
the principal bases of the Marshall plan-a
plan for the economic recovery of wartorn
Europe.
WORKED FOR COURT CLERIC
Will Clayton was born in Tupelo, Miss.
He moved with his family to Jackson, Tenn.,
and at 13 he left school and went to work in
a local court clerk's ofice. He became a dep-
uty clerk at 15, studied shorthand and be-
came a court reporter. Among his clients
was William Jennings Bryan.
Still 'in his teens, he became stenographer
to a cotton broker. He went to New York
seeking advancement, and got a job with the
American Cotton Co. and rose in that com-
pany to the post of assistant general man-
ager.
In 1904, with his brothers-in-law, Prank
D. and M. E. Anderson, he formed Anderson,
Clayton & Co., which moved its operations to
Houston in 1917 so that it would have avail- abandon hope for , .ruly independent

"Together," they agreed, "Western Europe
and North America can forge a free world
economic system which nothing can equal
and the power of which nothing can
threaten."
With Christian A. Herter, who succeeded
John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State in
the Eisenhower administration, Mr. Clay-
ton was named in 1962 as oochairman of a
congressionally appointed Citizens Commis-
sion on the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. The creation of a permanent high
council and a high court of justice for the na-
tions of the organization were subsequently
among the chief recommendations submitted
to Congress by the group.
In the same year. Mr. Clayton was one of
21 American business leaders who, in full-
page newspaper advertisements, appealed for
a ban on the testing of nuclear weapons.
Until close to the end of his life, Mr. Clay-
ton kept himself in good physical condition.
He was a proficient horseman, and he worked
regularly with Indian clubs in a home gym-
nasium. During his years in Washington he
customarily walked from his home in Rock
Creek Park to the State Department Build-
ing.
In 1903, Mr. Clayton married a Kentucky
girl, Susan Vaughan. She died in 1960.
Four daughters survive.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, it is once
again my privilege to mark and honor the
declaration of Lithuanian Independence
Day. This declaration was made 48 years
ago, and the great Lithuanian people
have never ceased. to courageously fight
for their freedom. Despite these long
years of Communist rule, the Lithuanian
people have not lost their strong- sense
of what liberty means. Their struggle
still stands as a symbol to other nations
yearning to be free.
After years of subjugation by Russia,
and after the German occupation of
World War I, the Lithuanian people de-
clared the establishment of an Independ-
ent Lithuania on Febraury 16, 1918.
Russia again moved in by the end of that
year, only to discover once again that the
Lithuanian people would fight. Because
of this, the Soviet Union was forced to
recognize Lithuania as a sovereign state
in 1920.
But this brief respite was too short
lived. In 1940, Soviet troops once again
occupied the country and annexed it.
And history further repeated itself with
another German occupation until 1944.
In 1944, Soviet troops again crushed
Lithuanian uprisings.
For more than 7 years during and after
the war, the Lithuanian people fought
for their own country. Thirty thousand
Lithuanian people died in this cause, and
many more were deported to the Soviet
Union only to die in Soviet concentration
camps.
The Lithuanian people should never

particular in a con, *tent, formal, con-
tinuing, and respon: r'e way. Since the
CIA was institLlted , 1947 as a part of
the National S curii , Council, the Con-
gress has pro:;crib( l itself by statute
from checking the r:..:tivities of the CIA
to the extent that --__)ngress normally
oversees government -l policy. As a te-
suit, the activi'Aes a: the CIA are mon-
itored by the Congrc,es only in a limited
way and this noni, ring is done by a
number of congressicrritl committees, but
mainly in the Apprc: -1 rations process.
Before elabo:'atinh cn the need for a
Joint Congressional -JIrmmittee on the
Central Intelligence a ency as proposed
by Senator YouNC, i -em Ohio, I should
like to review the st A tory background
and congressional c .otmittee responsi-
bility as regard he C' A
In the National S. trity Act of 1947,
Congress made the _',Lector of the CIA
responsible for "pr( =sting intelligence
sources and method: fi om unauthorized
disclosure." In the CIA Act of 1949,
Congress specifically a .empted the CIA
from existing statute.. r:vhich required all
governmental ngenc, s to publish "the
organization, fnncti,:?l:;, names, official
titles, salaries, or nul fibers of personnel"
which they employed The act also for-
bade the Director o ,he Budget from
issuing the usual ret ;rts to Congress.
In 1956, the Seni_er? from Montana
[Mr. MANSFIELD] m: s','d to establish a
joint committee, but bill was defeated
on the floor of the ?n late by 59 to 27.
Subsequent bills hat- been introduced,
but they have all r d in committee.
Recognizing the ner ersity and impor-
tance of intelligence utivities, Congress
has deliberately tied =ts own hands in an
attempt to maintail 'he security and
integrity of the CIA.
Rather than establ:, h a joint commit-
tee, Congress has des -ded to oversee the
CIA through a varier of separate com-
mittees. There are, a, least, six different
committees in both -,louses of Congress
which monitor the t to greater and
lesser degrees: the ::use and Senate
Appropriations Comi it 'tees, the House

These gentlemen used the petition as a
means of making known to Congress
their concern over the pending Herlong
Hartke bill (H.R. 8510 and S. 2045).
I ask unanimous consent that Dr.
Adams' remarks on this petition, as ex-
pressed in a letter to the presidents
of both Houses of Congress, be printed at
this point in the RECORD in order that
Senators may be aware of them.
There being no objection, the letter was
ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as
follows:
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY,
January 24, 1966.
Vice President HUBERT H. HUMPHREY,
President, U.S. Senate, New Senate Office
Building, Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR. VICE PRESIDENT: At the national
convention of the American Economic Asso-
ciation, held in New York City on December
27-30, 1965, a group of leading economists
decided to make known to the Congress its
concern and alarm over the pending Herlong-
Hartke bill (H.R. 8510 and S. 2045).
The following petition, addressed to you
and the Speaker ofthe House, was circulated
informally and initially signed by some 100
members of the association:
"As members of the American Economic
Association, we support the liberalization and
expansion of international trade and en-
dorse the recent congressional action toward
that goal, embodied in the Trade Expansion
Act of 1962.
"By the same token, we oppose such meas-
ures as the Herlong-Hartke bill (H.R. 8510
and S. 2045, 89th Cong.) which would
erode our national commitment to trade ex-
pansion and liberalization. The Herlong-
Hartke bill, while intended to prevent un-
fair import competition, would have the effect
of suppressing any import competition. As
such, it represents as great a threat to the
international trade of the United States as
some of the most onerous tariff acts of the
past."
The signatories include Prof. Fritz Machlup
(Princeton), the current president of the
American Economic Association; Prof. Milton
Friedman (Chicago), the president-elect of
the association; and the following ex-presi-
dents of the association: Prof. Alvin Hansen
(Harvard), Prof. Edward S. Mason (Harvard),
Prof. Joseph J. Spengler (Duke), and Prof.
George Stocking (Vanderbilt).
The following officers and former officers
of the association also signed the petition:
Profs. William Baumol (Princeton), Kenneth
Boulding (Michigan), Lester V. Chandler
(Princeton), Frank W. Fetter (Northwest-
ern), Harry G. Johnson (Chicago), Ben W.
Lewis (Oberlin), Richard Musgrave (Har-
vard), Lloyd G. Reynolds (Yale), and Clair
Wilcox (Swarthmore).
The current secretary-treasurer of the as-
sociation, Prof. Harold F. Williamson
(Northwestern), as well as his predecessor in
that post from 1936 to 1961, Prof. James
Washington Bell (Northwestern), signed the
petition.
So also did Profs. Alfred E. Kahn
(Cornell) and Oswald H. Brownlee (Minne-
sota) who are ex-members of the editorial
board of the American Economic Review, the
Association's publication.
Other distinguished signatories include,
inter alia, Dean Richard Lindholm (Oregon),
Dean Arthur E. Warner (Tennessee), Dean
William S. Devino (Maine), and Professors
Jesse Markham (Princeton), Richard Hefie-
bower (Northwestern), Joel B. Dirlam
(Rhode Island), M. E. Kreinin (Michigan
State) Warren L. Smith (Michigan), Alex-
ander Eckstein (Michigan), Robert F.
Lanzillotti (Michigan State), Forest Hill
(Texas), John Letiche (California, Berkeley),
Thomas Mayer (California, Davis), Karl
Brunner (UCLA), Samuel M. Loescher
(Indiana), Caleb Smith (Brown), Melvin
Eggers (Syracuse), Charles M. Tiebout (U. of
Washington), Nathan Rosenberg (Purdue),
Robert F. Wallace (Montana), and many
others.
In view of the enthusiastic response to the
informal, initial circulation of this petition,
it has been decided to solicit an expression
of opinion on a more systematic basis from
most of the major universities and colleges
in the country. Once this effort is com-
pleted, we shall take the liberty of forward-
ing to you and to the Speaker of the House
a complete list of the signatories in the
hope that this might in some small measure
contribute to the defeat of the Herlong-
Hartke bill which is so utterly incongruous
with our national commitment to trade ex-
pansion and trade liberalization.
I need not point out that the signatories
to the petition are expressing only their own
views and do not presume to speak either
for the association or the universities with
which they are affiliated.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Sen-
ator DOUGLAS, a past president of our associa-
tion, as well as to Senator LONG, chairman
of the Finance Committee, and to Congress-
man MILLS, chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee.
Respectfully yours,
WALTER ADAMS,
Professor of Economics.
DEATH OF WILLIAM L. CLAYTON,
FORMER UNDER SECRETARY OF
STATE FOR ECONOMIC AFFAIRS
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, it was
with great sadness that I learned of the
passing on February 8 of William L.
Clayton, a longtime friend and a man
I very much respected.
Will Clayton's quiet but highly effec-
tive role in the liberalization of U.S. for-
eign economic policies at once combined
belief in the ideal of economic inter-
nationalism with high courage and
toughness of mind.
As Under Secretary of State for Eco-
nomic Affairs, Will Clayton carried on
and developed the reciprocal trade poli-
cies inaugurated by Cordell Hull. He
was one of the chief architects of the
postwar foreign economic policy of the
United States, and was one of those re-
sponsible for the Marshall plan. The
policies he stood for continue to serve us
well as the guidelines for the step by step
and essential liberalization of our trade
policies. In the past 20 years, our inter-
national trade has expanded from $18.5
to $47 billion.
Will Clayton strongly urged the United
States to seek a closer relationship with
the Common Market as a means to
strengthen our ability to meet the grow-
ing demands of developing nations and
to meet the economic competition caused
by the Soviet Union and its allies.
Two years ago, in order to assist the
economic development of Latin America,
he proposed before the Joint Economic
Committee the creation of a Western
Hemisphere free trade area limited to
raw materials, but also involving free
trade in industrial products among Latin
American nations within the next 10
years. I have espoused this initiative
and I am indebted to Will Clayton for
his inspiration.
Will Clayton's life is evidence that the
American dream can, and does, still
exist; from a position of stenographer
at the age of 16, he rose to leading Ameri-
can businessman as a cotton broker at
the age of 63. Clayton combined his
skill as a diplomat and his determination
as a businessman to serve his country
as it created a new and viablemeans of
continuing as world economic leader
in the crucial transition period of the
postwar years.
it is with regret and a deep sense of
loss that I join my fellow Americans in
this tribute to Will Clayton.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that a Washington Post editorial
of February 13 and a New York Times
article of February 10on Mr. Clayton be
pointed in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the editorial
and article were ordered to be printed
in the RECORD, as follows:
WILL CLAYTON
"Economic nationalism," Will Clayton used
to say, "just won't mix with political and
military internationalism." In his quiet,
courtly way, Clayton fought with a ruthless
missionary determination for his creed, and
it was Clayton as much as anyone who made
economic internationalism come alive during
the crucial tranition period spanning the
war and postwar years. He picked up where
Cordell Hull left off in the newly created
role of Under Secretary of State for Economic
Affairs. Economic expertise found a place
within Foreign Service sanctums for the first
time in the heady early days of the Clayton
regime at the State Department when the
Marshall plan was born. Later, as an elder
statesman peering down on Washington from
retirement in Houston, he became one of
the first to see the interrelationship between
trade and aid in the western approach to the
developing countries.
The personal charm which gave Will Clay-
ton his special finesse as a negotiator and
bureaucrat was a blend of warmth and com-
manding dignity. His manner and style in-
stantly conveyed the story of the self-made
man who could go from a sharecropper's
cabin in Mississippi to the cotton brokerage
houses of Manhattan and then, at 63, to
fulfillment in a new career as one of our
exemplary public servants.

WILLIAM L. CLAYTON DEAD AT 86; ONCE UNDER
SECRETARY OF STATE-ROOSEVELT AID WAS
FORMER NEW DEAL FOE-FOUNDED GIANT
COTTON COMPANY
HOUSTON, February 8.-William Lockhart
Clayton, a cofounder of what is believed to
be the world's largest cotton company and a
former Under Secretary of State, died of
a heart attack in Methodist Hospital here
Tuesday afternoon. The tall, stooped, white-
haired, 86-year-old Mississippian died at
4 p.m. after he was stricken in his Houston
home.
STARTED AS STENOGRAPHER
Will Clayton, who became stenographer to
a cotton broker at 16 and an economic dip-,
lomat at 63, was a cofounder in 1904 of
Anderson, Clayton & Co., at Oklahoma City.
The firm today buys and- sells a large part of
the country's cotton crop and operates
cotton-producing andmarketing subsidiaries
in Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil,
and Egypt.
It was estimated a few years ago that, with
his family, Mr. Clayton hold over 40 percent
of the $50 million capital, surplus, and un-
divided profits of the cotton company.
Mr. Clayton retired from administrative
duties for the cotton company in 1951 but
remained a director and worked in - his
Houston office 6 days a week.

We in 'Congress also appreciate the fine
job now being done with the CIA by the
various congressional committees. But
there is a need for line authority and
responsibility in exercising the legisla-
tive oversight function of the Congress.
The joint committee proposed by the
Senator from Ohio [Mr. YouNG] seems to
fit the bill, for the following reasons:
First. Intelligence gathering is a ma-
jor operation in foreign policy and na-
tional security affairs, involving the ex-
penditure of vast amount of funds.
Second. Intelligence agencies some-
times find themselves making policy
rather than simply executing it. This
sometimes occurs without conscious de-
sign an the part of the intelligence
agency either because policy directives
from above do not exist in certain areas
or because the CIA has people on the
scene when the action happens who are
not responsible to the local ambassadors.
By force of circumstance, then, the Work
of the CIA sometimes in effect creates
the policy where the President has not
acted or even had a chance to act. There
must be accountability to Congress for
these on-the-spot decisions.
Third. The intelligence field is broad
and complicated. Congress needs ex-
pertise on these matters, and the staff
of the joint committee would be a step
in that direction.
Congress has demonstrated restraint
and reliability in past cooperation with
the executive branch in respect of intel-
ligence. The Joint Atomic Energy Com-
mittee is a good example of this. There
is little reason for the executive branch
to fear that Congress through the joint
committee would now abuse this privi-
lege. Congress has the responsibility to
exercise legislative oversight over future
intelligence operations and activities on
a closer, continuing, and formal basis.
For these reasons, I join with the Sen-
ator from Ohio [Mr. Y'ouNG] in cospon-
soring S. 2815, a bill to establish a Joint
Committee on the Central Intelligence
JAgency.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I invite
the attention of Senators to a forth-
coming meeting in the Philippines which
will have significant effect on our re-
lations with the Philippines. Philippine-
American friendship from time to time
is taken for granted, or even overlooked.
This relationship, forged before Philip-
pine independence, has survived a war
and has been strengthened through the
years. I do not mean to suggest that
there have been no irritants in our re-
lationship, nor that there are none now.
Innumberable differences have arisen
which could have weakened the bonds
between our two countries. Neverthe-
less, the benefits of the friendship and
the mutuality of interest have caused
us to work just a little harder to resolve
these disagreements before they reached
the danger point.
There are probably many explanations
for the strong bonds of friendship that
exist between our two peoples-so un-
like each other in culture, history, and
temperament. They are all probably
No. 27-7
correct. How they were forged is not
so important as how they are kept strong.
Filipinos and Americans, both, have
continued this friendship on the govern-
ment level, through the trade that flows
between our two countries, and in the
cultural exchange that draws us closer
together. We all owe a debt of grati-
tude to these people, for without their
determination, the traditional ties might
have weakened.
Less than 3 years ago, prominent citi-
zens of both countries established the
American-Philippine Society, a nonprofit
and nonpolitical organization devoted to
clarifying and elevating United States-
Philippine understanding.
The first honorary chairman of the
society was Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Mr. MacArthur has succeeded her hus-
band and shares his desire to perpetuate
the good will between the two countries.
Other Prominent Americans and Fili-
pinos-Howard Cullman, chairman of
the New York Port Authority; George
S. Moore, President of the First National
City Bank; Miss Helena Benitez, Philip-
pine educator and diplomat; and Gen.
Carlos P. Romulo, Secretary of Educa-
tion, are among the society's officers.
The society was organized for the pur-
pose of promoting intercultural relations
between the peoples of the two nations
through the mutual exchange of persons,
groups, exhibits, and publications and
through the presentation of lectures,
forums, and similar media with respect to
education and the humanities; namely,
music, dance, language, and other art
forms. It also seeks the clarification and
elevation of United States-Philippine un-
derstanding through conferences by
leaders of both countries.
The society's first major project is
such a conference on the future of United
States-Philippine relations soon to take
place in Davao, in the Philippines, on
February 23 to 28. The conference will
be under the direction of the American
Assembly, an affiliate of Columbia Uni-
versity established in 1950 by Dwight D.
Eisenhower when he was president of the
university.
The assembly at Davao, the first bina-
tional meeting of its kind under the
American Assembly, will bring together a
group of distinguished Filipinos and
Americans to discuss social, political,
military, and economic ties between the
two countries.
In small discussion groups these Fili-
pino and American representatives of
government, industry, finance, labor, the
humanities, science, and the press will
consider the full range of problems of
United States-Philippine relations. They
will hear formal addresses by three per-
sons of stature. On the fourth day, in
plenary session, the participants will
draw upon their own experiences and
knowledge to review a final report of con-
clusions and recommendations for the
improvement of Philippine and United
States relations. As is the practice for
these assemblies, the statement will be
issued immediately to the press and then
printed for distribution in both nations.
It is expected that this consideration of
questions such as military bases and
mutual security, foreign policy, and the
Laurel-Langley a?;reen:a will be re-
peated in subsequent re! inal assemblies
in both nations.
I hope that their , oo iclusions and
recommendations will 1 c jive the most
serious consideration b sloth our gov-
ernments. We would b- negligent if we
did not listen to-tbis di.ii irguished group
of Filipinos and Amel Leans. I shall
await their report lager'; and hope that
my colleagues in these ( hambers and in
the Philippine Coiigresr .,ill accept the
report as the judi:men! z of responsible
men seeking to perpetu ~t.~ a friendship
which has been mutuaii v advantageous.
I also hope that by gi iiig this dialog
the importance it desel es, we will en-
courage the organization .ti of other bina-
tional assemblies.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER "CASEY"
JONES, INFLUENTIAL AND FIERY
EDITOR
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I invite
the attention of the Senate to the death
of Alexander "Casey" Jones, an influen-
tial and what the press calls, a fiery edi-
tor of one of the leading newspapers in
the State of New York, the Syracuse
Herald-Journal.
Mr. President, Casey was a great re-
porter and a great newspaperman and a
man greatly responsible-through his
hard-hitting editorials-for much that is
good and true in the politics and public
policy of our State.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
to have printed in the RECORD two obitu-
ary notices on Mr. Jones.
There being no objection, the obitu-
aries were ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
[From the New York Herald Tribune]
ALEXANDER "CASEY JONES, INFLUENTIAL, FIERY
EDrroa
ORLANDO, FLA.-Alexander F. Jones, 74,
former president of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors, died here yesterday,
apparently of a heart attack.
Former managing editor of the Washington
Post, Mr. Jones once fought the admission of
Tass (the Soviet news agency) representa-
tives to the Senate press gallery on the
grounds that they were not newsmen, but
government representatives.
Later in his career, he successfully fought
an order by President Truman that put se-
vere curbs on -information made available by
Federal departments. He urged the Nation's
newspaper editors to investigate the possi-
bility of Federal legislation that would
break down governmental news barriers.
Mr. Jones, who retired after 53 years in the
newspaper business last April, became ex-
ecutive editor of the Syracuse Herald-Journal
In 1950.
Surviving are his wife, Edna, two sons, and
a daughter.
