closely with our partners-fn Industry and It has been a pleasure being with you this
other research organizations to insure that morning,
we maintain the tech:geal advantage so I wish you a successful conference and
necessary in the field ty missile electronic every success in meeting the challenges that
warfare. you will encounter in the future.
The true effectiveness of electronic warfare
systems, the vulnerability of our missile sys-
tems, and future electronic:: warfare, systems
requirements can only l defined by exten-
sive and realistic operational testing in a
suitable environment.
White Sands is}vell suited to perform more
of this type of testing and evaluation.
I will continue to work with the Depart-
ment of Defense to assure'thed the resources
of White Sands Missile Range, MEWTA and
other New Mexico facilitieS are recognized
and that they will be given the opportunity
to realize their full potetltial in the test and
evaluation of future missile programs and
related electronic warfare systems.
We should examine the possibilities of
utilizing this area as a central test area for
other electronic warfare, testing to include
aircraft as well as missile systems.
We should also consider the MEWTA assets
at White Sands as an Anti-Ballistic missile
system defense taboratorl%
New Mexico State University has played an
important role in supporting the activities
of White Sands Missile Range. I anticipate
that it will. contribute even more in the
future to the work being` done by White
Sands Missile Range and MEWTA in the
technical evaluations and analysis Of mis-
sile systems.
The significance of electronic warfare is
quite apparent in Department of Defense
thinking these days. A Department of De-
fense Electronic Warfare Board has recently
been formed to review the electronic warfare
programs of the military Services. The Presi-
dent's Science Advisory Committee is also
devoting serious attention to the subject of
electronic warfare and the role that it plays
in modern clay military operations.
I personally plan to he:.p further an under-
standing of electronic warfare among my
associates in Washington.; It is a subject not
widely understood nor its importance rec-
ognized. I will need your cooperation and
support in keeping me abreast of develop-
ments in this field.
Each of you here this morning is con-
tributing to the Army's missile electronic
warfare program. It is up. to you to help
analyze the problems, define the require-
ments, and. deliver the equipment to meet
the needs. Every task is of extreme impor-
tance to the future survival of our nation.
My technical advisors have remarked about
the fine scientific coverage in this sym-
posium. When we convene next year at the
same time, in the sane place, on the same
subject at this national Missile EW Center,
I expect that the sharp focus which will have
been established in your support, will show
up in your vastly enhanced Capabilities. I ex-
pect that this region shall be ringed with
developmental and production facilities of
private enterprise, adegdateiy supported by
the government. With our form of govern-
ment this is always the vibirling combination.
And win we shall. Let all know, the price
of war against us has gone up-, we complain
only about the pace of`oiUr'past advance-
ments and the cost-effectiveness of our
measures.
I am of peaceful mind, but of a rrind to
say that, confident of our strength, we may
more testily lose patience in. the face of crises
intentionally created by our adversaries. They
should right now hesitate and ponder over

HON. PHILIP E. RUPPE
OF MICHIGAN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday? November 1, .1967
Mr. RUPPE, Mr. Speaker, a beloved
civic leader in Michigan's copper coun-
try and cherished friend, Mrs. Mary
Regan, died recently at the age of 84,
Mrs. Regan was an artist, writer, mu-
sician, historian, and an integral part
of the colorful history of northern Michi-
gan. Great granddaughter of Capt. John
Sutter, of California's goldrush, daugh-
ter of Benjamin Jeffs, one of the mining
pioneers of the copper country, Mrs.
Regan lived and told the history of the
early mining era as no one else could.
I grieve at the passing of a dear friend;
those of us from the copper country
will long miss her presence.
I wish to include the following article
from the Ontonagon Herald of Ontona-
gon, Mich.
MRS. REAGAN, 84, PIONEER RESIDENT, DIES IN
CHICAGO
Mrs Joseph M. (Mary) Regan, 84, one of
the most widely-known and respected resi-
dents of this area, died suddenly on Sunday,
Sept. 17 sit St. Ann's Hospital, in Chicago,
where she has been convalescing.
She wa, the widow of John M. Regan,
publisher of a number of financial books
and magazines.
Mrs. Re;an was a native of Rockland and
was born :in 1883, a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Benjamin Jeffs, who were widely-
know:a early Ontonagon County pioneers.
Her father was the owner of the famed
Minnesota Mine, once one of the greatest
copper producing operations in the United
States, and he also controlled the Michigan
Mining Co. and other mining properties.
Her mother was a Sutter girl and a grand-
daughter of General John Sutter, on whose
California mill property gold was discovered
in 1848, precipitating the famous California
gold rush
Mrs. Regan received her early education
in the Rockland schools and later attended
Sacred Heart Convent in Grosse Pointe. She
also attended the Cincinnati Conservatory
of Music and Radcliffe College, Boston,
graduating from both institutions.
Mrs. Re;an's interests were varied and her
talents many. She was an accomplished
violinist, writer and historian, and in the
early part of the century she became in-
terested in the publishing field and founded
Child Life Magazine. She wrote many articles
for both this and many other periodicals.
A considerable number of her children's
stories were written while she was rearing
seven children of her own.

"The Profession of Truth"-An Address
by Robert Mitchell White II, at the
101st Annual Meeting of the Missouri
Press Association, at Kansas City, Mo.,
on October 20, 1967
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. PAUL C. JONES
OF MISSOURI
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, November 1, 1967
Mr. JONES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker,
it was my privilege on October 20 to at-
tend the 101st annual convention of the
Missouri Press Association held at
Kansas City, Mo.
One of the highlights of the outstand-
ing 2-day program was an address by
Robert Mitchell White II, a third-gen-
eration editor and publisher of the Mex-
ico, Mo., Evening Ledger. The White
family has made many outstanding con-
tributions to the State of Missouri since
the Ledger was purchased by the late
Col. Robert M. White in 1876, and the
present publisher, who is the national
president of Sigma Delta Chi, the society
of journalists, has in a brief span of
years made a brilliant record in his
chosen profession and has been the re-
cipient of many national awards.
Perhaps I am prejudiced because of
Mr. White's reference,, to the late Walter
Williams, founder of the School of
Journalism at the University of Missouri,
r~lbecame president-and
f0014y flfniration for Dean Wil-
liams who, in my opinion, made some of
the greatest contributions to the profes-
sion of .journalism--- I was particularly
