tion which is permanently at war must
slide into dictatorship.
That fear is my principal reason for
opposing the present war in Indochina.
It is my principal reason too for believ-
ing that as a Senator I have not just
the right but the duty to "stand up" to
the President rather than "behind" him
in a policy which seems more likely to
perpetuate the war than to end it. Peace-
ful, constructive dissent is the only avail-
able means through which we can prac-
tice democracy now in such a way as
to have some hope of preserving it for
the future.
Mr. President, I want to make clear
again as I have in the past that that is
the concern I have about the war. It is
not because of my lack of interest in the
people of South Vietnam or Cambodia;
it is simply and solely my interest in the
constituents I represent in the State of
Arkansas and, of course, the citizens of
the United States.
I have believed for a number of years
that this war in destroying our economy
and that it is destroying gradually and
slowly, as De Tocqueville mentioned, the
functioning of a democratic system, and
that if we continue indefinitely in waging
war we will have to forego a democratic
system in this country.
RECESS
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the Senate
stand in recess, subject to the call of the
Chair, but in no case later than 3:50
p.m.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Without ob-
jection, it is so ordered.
Thereupon, at 3:29 p.m. the Senate
took a recess subject to the call of the
Chair.
The Senate reassembled at 3:50 p.m.
when called to order by the Presiding
Officer (Mr. ALLOTT).
AMENDMENT OF THE FOREIGN
MILITARY SALES ACT
The Senate continued with the con-
sideration of the bill (H.R. 15628) to
amend the Foreign Military Sales Act.
Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, my
opposition today to passage of the Mili-
tary Sales Act in its present form rests
on the crippling amendments affixed to
the bill by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. While I support military
sales and credits to our allies abroad, the
bill is replete with unwise amend-
ments. These amendments, including the
Cooper-Church amendment, repudiate
the Nixon doctrine of providing sufficient
military arms to our allies in Southeast
Asia and encouraging them to provide for
their own defense. A number of Senators
have stood on the Senate floor and stated
it is not important to the United States
who governs in Southeast Asia. Several
have gone so far as to state that a Com-
munist government in South Vietnam
would promote tranquility in that area
on the grounds the North Vietnamese
conquerors would not submit to Red
China. Such reasoning is devastating to
the hopes of free men everywhere and
encourages the forces of oppression,
thereby prolonging the murder of inno-
cent people. The removal of U.S. fighting
men from Southeast Asia is one thing,
but restricting aid to local forces op-
posing Communist invaders is quite an-
other. This trend in the Senate reveals
the frustrations of the Vietnam war and
could mark the beginning of a return to
a fortress America policy which would
doom the struggle of freedom-loving
people throughout the world.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
for the yeas and nays on the bill.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
is open to further amendment. If there
be no further amendment to be pro-
posed, the question is on the engross-
ment of the amendments, and the third
reading of the bill.
The amendments were ordered to be
engrossed and the bill to be read a third
time.
The bill was read the third time.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. AL-
LOTT). The hour of 4 o'clock has ar-
rived. The bill (H.R. 15628) having been
read the third time, the question is,
Shall it pass?
On this question the yeas and nays
have been ordered, and the clerk will
call the roll.
The bill clerk called the roll.
Mr. KENNEDY. I announce that the
Senator from Connecticut (Mr. DODD),
the Senator from Hawaii (Mr. INOUYE),
the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. NEL-
SON), and the Senator from Georgia
(Mr. RUSSELL) are necessarily absent.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I announce that the
Senator from South Dakota (Mr. MUNDT)
is absent because of illness and, if pres-
ent and voting, would vote "yea."
The result was announced--yeas 75,
nays 20, as follows:

So the bill (H.R. 15628) was passed.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
move to reconsider the vote by which the
bill was passed.
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I move to
lay that motion on the table.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I
move to lay that motion on the table.
The motion to lay on the table was
agreed to.
The title was amended, so as to react:
"An act to amend the Foreign Military
Sales Act, and for other purposes."
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I
move that the Senate insist upon 1
amendments an request coniermnm-
Vith We alr
au Fior rizea to appoint the conterees on
Presiding Officer (Mr. ALLOTT) appointed
Mr. FULBRIGHT, Mr. SPARKMAN, Mr. MANS-
FIELD, Mr. CHURCH, Mr. AIKEN, Mr. CASE,
and Mr. COOPER conferees on the part of
the Senate.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
that the bill be printed and passed, so
that Senators may be informed of the
many changes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I
wish to commend the distinguished Sen-
ator from Idaho (Mr. CHURCH) for his
great patience and wisdom in handling
this bill. This bill has been under con-
sideration for nearly 8 weeks-I think it
will be 8 weeks on Thursday. This is one
of the most arduous and difficult bills
we have had this year. The Senator from
Idaho has done an outstanding job and
has handled it with great tact and wis-
dom and has been most conscientious in
his attendance. I believe the effect of his
management and the cooperation of the
Senator from Kentucky (Mr. COOPER)
has been very beneficial to the work of
the Senate. I commend both of them.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, hav-
ing spent over 7 weeks on this one piece
of legislation, it is impossible to single
out any particular Senator for com-
mendation; the Senate as a whole has
participated in a truly historic event.
The issue of the separate responsibilities
of the Congress and the executive
branch have never been more fully ex-
plored; the final action on this bill marks
a significant breakthrough in the reas-
sertion of the responsibilities of the Sen-
ate in the essential decisions affecting
the foreign policy of this country as well
as the issue of war and peace.
The Senator from Idaho (Mr. CHURCH)
who managed this bill along with the
Senator from Kentucky (Mr. COOPER)
must however he mentioned. The long
hours spent in shepherding this bill to
passage demonstrated a dedication to
duty and principle that sets a noble ex-
ample to every public official.
To the Senate as a whole I wish to ex-
press my appreciation, gratitude and
pride for the level of the debate during
these weeks and for the cooperation af-
forded the leadership while these issues
were before us.

AMENDMENTS OF 1970-VETO
MESSAGE
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. AL-
LOTTO. Under the previous unanimous-
consent agreement, the Chair now lays
before the Senate a veto message. which
will be reported.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
The House of Representatives having pro-
ceeded to reconsider the bill (H.R. 11102)
entitled "An Act to amend the Public Health
Service Act to revise. extend. and Improve
the program established by title VI of such
Act, and for other purposes", returned by the
President of the United States with his ob-
jections, to the House of Representatives. In
whtch it originated. it was
Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-
thirds of the House of representatives agree-
ing to pass the same.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. AL-
LOTTI. The question is, Shall the bill
pass, the objections of the President of
the United States to the contrary not-
withstanding?
Under the previous unanimous-consent
agreement to vote at 5:30, the time is to
be controlled respectively by the major-
ity leader and the minority leader. Who
yields time?
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I yield my-
self 2 minutes for the purpose of ad-
dressing an inquiry to the distinguished
majority leader.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. May we
have order in the Senate. please?
The Senator from Pennsylvania may
proceed.
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President. following
the consideration of the pending busi-
ness. there will be a continuation of the
consideration of the postal reform bill.
I understand that there is. as far as I
can find out, a disposition to accelerate
action on the matter pending before us.
I would like to suggest to the distin-
guished majority leader that perhaps we
could have an agreement on an earlier
vote.
UNANIMOUS-CONSENT REQUEST
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President. one
of thereasons that the leadership asked
the Senators to stay after the vote was
taken was to raise that possibility.
I have discussed the matter not only
with the distinguished minority leader
but also with the committee chairman.
the Senator from Texas Mr. YARHOR-
OUCH ), and the ranking minority member
of the committee, the Senator from New
York (Mr. JAVITS.).
They have indicated that it would be
fair to say that a 30-minute limitation.
with the time to be divided between them,
would be satisfactory, and that any Sen-
ator would be given recognition regard-
less of his point of view, the vote to occur
at the end of the 30 minutes.
Mr. President, just on the chance that
that might be acceptable, I make that
unanimous-consent request at this time.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President. will the
Senator yield?
4ir. MANSFIELD. I yield.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President. I wish to
state to the Senator that I will support
the overriding of the veto. But I will
yield time to any Member of the minor-
ity or to any Senator who desires time
to oppose the override.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I am
sure the manager of the bill will do the
same.
Mr. YARBOROUGH. Mr. President,
will the Senator yield?
Mr. MANSFIELD. I yield.
Mr. YARBOROUGH. Mr. President,
since we discussed this matter originally,
other members of the committee have
indicated they want to speak. I suggest
we have 30 minutes to a side rather than
15 minutes.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I think we had bet-
ter let it go as it is. That would take
it up to 5:30 p.m. anyway. I withdraw
lily request.
Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and
nays on the pending business.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. AL-
LOTT (. The Chair is happy to inform the
Senate that under the Constitution a
yea-and-nay vote is automatic. The re-
quesst for the yeas and nays is not nee-

EMERGENCY HOME FINANCE -ACT
OF 1970
Mr. SPARKMAN. Mr. President. I ask
the Chair to lay before the Senate a mes-
sage from the House of Representatives
on S. 3685.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.
ALLOT? laid before the Senate the
amendment of the House of Representa-
tives to the bill I S. 3685) to increase the
availability of mortgage credit for the
financing of urgently needed housing,
and for other purposes, which was to
strike out all after the enacting clause,
and insert:
That this Art may be cited as the "Emer-
