M. CONABLE. Mr. Speaker, I hereby
submit a statement by the Republican
Policy Committee on Congressional
Oversight of Intelligence Activities:
CONGRESSIONAL. OVERSIGHT OF INTELLIGENCE
AOTrvrTrEs
Recent books and press accounts of abuses
in government intelligence activities at home
and abroad have focused attention on the,
need for Congress to strengthen its over-
sight of this sensitive area. The Republican
Policy Committee urges the concentration of
effort, in a single, bipartisan committee to
investigate these reports, formulate such
remedies as might be needed and provide
continuing oversight of the intelligence
activities necessary to national security. A
joint House-Senate committee would, of
course, be preferable,
What is at issue is not whether Congress

but rather how this task should be accom-

Our first concern Is the alarming prolifer-
ation of Intelligence oversight committees.

tutional Rights has scheduled hearings later
this week on the FBI's role In the alleged
abuses, and the Subcommittee on Courts,
Civil Liberties and Administration Is con-
ducting hearings on FBI and military sur

Against this background of burgeoning
intelligence oversight, the House later this
week will consider whether to establish yet
another House Select Committee on Intelli-

quiry and feel strongly that any Select
Committee should preempt the separate in-

HON. STEVEN D. SYMMS
OF IDAHO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, February 24, 1975
Mr. SYMMS. Mr. Speaker, I recently
received one of the finest articles I have
read to date on the subject of deregula-
tion of natural gas at the wellhead. For
the, benefit of my colleagues who will be
oonsidering this issue in the, 94th Con-
gress, I would like to enter it into the
RECORD at this point:
LOW PRICE, BUT WHERE'S THE GAS?
(By Earl W. McMunn)
We are hurting because of the shortage of
natural gas. Government orders have forced
Industries to make big cutbacks to conserve
fuel. This has created layoffs and loss of in-

than capacity, because they can't get enough
gas. This will mean less fertilizer and farm
chemicals for the coming crop season.

of steak. That is what is happening to gas.
And, for an obvious reason. Political controls
were substituted for the economic forces of
supply and demand.
Again, we are learning that you don't "pro-
tect consumers" by controlling prices at un-
realistic levels. At least, you can't do it over
long periods of time. When prices get out of
line, supplies become scarce or disappear
completely. There must be gas in the pipe-
lines, just as there must be livestock in feed-
lots if the people are to prosper.
.No one has yet been able to devise a sys-
tem which combines low prices with ade-
quate supplies. The socialist countries have
tried, but with little success. This Is the
major reason our production has so far out-
paced theirs. Where profit incentives have
been permitted to operate, we have had eco-
nomic development unmatched in the his-
tory of the world.
Edward J. Mitchell of the University of
Michigan says it this way:
"To create a shortage, you simply depress
the market price below the level that equates
supply and demand. To eliminate the short-
age, you free the price and allow it to rise.
People clamor for government to "do some- to equate supply' and demand once more.

a price that gives us shortages; a price that
gives us surpluses."
These principles are easy enough to under-
stand. They are not going to operate in a
controlled economy. They don't get the
chance. Political pressures are always to keep
prices low as a "protection for consumers."
.It Is only when supplies disappear that
we become aware of the danger. There is lit-
tle question but what arbitrary price con-
trol on natural gas has been one of the
greatest handicaps to energy production.
Congress much deregulate the gas business
if we are to get production moving in the
right direction.
Already, there is firm evidence to show
that producers will respond to higher prices.
Increases In oil prices and higher natural
gas prices in the intrastate market have
resulted In a sharp turnaround In drilling
activity. During the first 16 years after the
Supreme Court decision, the number of ex-
ploratory gas wells dropped by about 50
percent. During the past three years the
number of drill rigs in operation went up
more than 50 percent.
Energy experts say that our reserves of
natural gas are far from exhaustion. But
gas in the pipeline is what counts now. And
recent price increases to oil and gas pro-
ducers can't stimulate enough production
any time soon. It takes time-as much as
three to five years--to build new equip-
ment, find and develop new fields. Vast
amounts of new capital must be plowed back
into exploration and development. All this
in the face of opposition from some dream-
ers who clamor that "profits must be elim-
inated." We may eliminate profits. If we do,
we will also eliminate production. And, it's
production we need.
It is obvious that federal price control
on gas at the wellhead was a bad choice.
Only Congress can make a change. And the
lawmakers have been slow to act. In fact,
legislation to decontrol the Industry has
been stalled in the Senate Commerce Com-
mittee and the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee for well over
a year,
Soln'e members say the industry Is "hold-
ing back" natural gas reserves. There Is am-
ple evidence to the contrary. Others claim
that decontrol would cause retail prices to
rise, thus hurting individual consumers. Un-
til this winter they didn't have to face the
stark reality of plant shut down because
of gas shortages. This hurts people too!
Now we are face to face with the question
of whether we want enough gas at higher
prices, or low prices and no gas.
Gas is much more than a source of heat
and power. It is also an important input
in farm production. This is because a sub-
stantial part of our nitrogen fertilizer
production depends upon the use of nat-
ural gas. And fertilizer plants in many parts
of the country have already had their gas
supplies interrupted by action of the Federal
Power Commission.
Just how much government limitations
will affect next spring's fertilizer supplies
remains to be seen. Fertilizer shortfalls for
1974 were estimated at between five and
10 percent. Edwin M. Wheeler, president of
The Fertilizer Institute, says: "With nitro-
gen inventories almost non-existent, the
dangers to next year's food production are
alarming. Our industry is making an all-
out effort to prepare for a booming demand,
but with our feedstocks cut off we are pow-
erless."
We know food reserves are at low levels
both here and abroad. Production Is the
only cure for shortages. Fertilizer is a nec-
essary ingredient if we are to get the pro-
duction. We can't leave, enough fertilizer
if natural gas supplies are unavailable or
interrupted over long periods of time. It is
time for Congress to correct the mistake
the Supreme Court made 20 years ago.
MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A CITIZEN-
WINNING ESSAY
HON. MARK ANDREWS
OF NORTH DAKOTA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, February 24, 1975
Mr. ANDREWS of North Dakota. Mr.
Speaker, I am proud to announce that
Miss Janet Doreen Sims of Enderlin,
N. Dak., has won the Voice of Democracy
essay contest in North Dakota.
Miss Sims is currently an 11th grader
in high school and an outstanding stu-
dent. She has held several school offices
and has many achievements and awards
to her credit. She plans to enter the
University of North Dakota to pursue a
career in nursing.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Pershing Sims of Enderlin.
In her winning essay, entitled "My Re-
sponsibility as a Citizen," Miss Sims
stressed that freedom is both a privilege
and a responsibility, The spirit of respon-
sibility that all of us as citizens must
have, she says, is "one of generosity, de-
termination, and perseverance. It gives
freely of its time and energy and is never
spent out, because it Is identified with the
will to serve."
Miss Sims is an outstanding example
of one who puts her ideas of citizenship
into practice. She has demonstrated her
sense of responsibility and citizenship
through her accomplishments and activ-
ities inside and outside of school.
I would again like to congratulate Miss
Sims. Her essay deserves public atten-
tion and at this time I would like to in-
sert it into the RECORD:
MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A CITIZEN
Being a citizen is certainly a right, but in.
a deeper sense, it is truly a privilege. After
all, as full-fledged citizens, we are not de-
prived of our fundamental rights: freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of re-
ligipn and the right to petition the govern-
ment to correct unjust actions. What do
these freedoms consist of? Freedom is often
misunderstood as privileges without limita-
tions or restrictions: in other words, doing
ust as one pleases. Along with freedoms
.tome duties or obligations. When children
are not taught to follow rules, they will most
likely disregard regulations later in life. They
will live along the side lines, hesitant, cow-
:irdly, and selfish, ready to enjoy the benefits
that others provide. The sense of responsibil-
ty is rather the realization that one has
iertain duties and obligations to fulfill to the
neat of one's ability. It involves a recognition
of definite laws or principles of behavior and
understanding of the distinction between
right and wrong, and good and better,
The spirit of responsibility Is one of gen-
irosity, determination, and perseverance. It
fives freely of its time and energy and is
never spent out, because it is identified with
the will to serve.
What is citizenship? Citizenship means full
nembership in it country. It signifies some-
:hing much more than just a dictionary
.neaning. One could read a whole book on
eing a responsible citizen, but the reading
would be worthless unless the ideas discussed
were put into practice.
In the days when the Romans ruled, the
,act of being a 'Roman citizen' was a source
if individual pride second to none. We, too.
should develop this sense of pride in our
.ountry.
Do we take our citizenship for gran
Do we realize how fortunate we are td+,
guaranteed of certain rights?
The establishment of a goal is the key t(,
successful living. The most important step
toward achieving responsibility is to firs:
define it. To be responsible we must all be
leaders, setting good exemples. An effective
leader has such qualities. as confidence. en-
ergy, concern, a good e t of morals, and
above all, faith.
When does the sense cf responsibility be-
gin? It begins in the home with the parents'
influence. If the parents are loyal and honest,
their children will most likely radiate their
likeness. The seeds of confidence are planted
long before a child goes to school. It begins
with the successful performance of limited
tasks. Parents must see that certain values
exist in the home: respect, pride, cooperation,
and sharing. Good citizenship goes farther,
though, out of the home and into the com-
munity and country.
In your community, take part in church
and school doings, social affairs, organiza-
tions and clubs, and so on. Being an active
member keeps you well-informed of the com-
munity's operations and goals, not only to
be informed, but to help the community.
Most important, be loyal and true to your
country, Have faith in your nation's leaders,
even in crucial times, regarding such things
as wars, energy crises, and scandalism. These
problems implore an increasing need for all
people to unite into one Body to solve them.
We gain from this atmosphere of unity an
inner strength, a sense ou belonging, as well
as of responsibility to others.
"Life must be revealed not as a dubious and
pointless struggle but as a magnificent priv-
ilege, a torch that must ')urn as brightly as
possible before it is handed on to the next
generation," 1

that for a period of ninety days that the fol-
lowing six points be implemented:
1. Mandatory allocation per station at 90-
95% of 1972 sales, and equal allocation for
every dealer.
2. Major oil companies refinery capacity

the shortages and animosities that have

and natural resource stockpiles that
grant us the highest degree of independ-
ence from the influences of third world

must erect safeguards to 1mit foreign

recognized for 15 minutes.
Mr. FRENZEL. I rise on behalf of my-
self and Representative STEELMAN of
Texas. Recently there has been a grow-
ing concern, both here and in the other
body, with the obvious lack of oversight
which we in the Congress have over the
various Federal intelligence-oriented
agencies.
It is our own fault that the present
situation exists. For too many years Con-
gress has been extremely reluctant to ask
the kind of questions which could insure
policy supervision and accountability for
actions taken by the CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, Defense Intelligence Agency, the
National Security Agency, and several
others which we are only now learning
about.
To correct some of the ab ises which
we have seen and to strengthen congres-
sional oversight, Congressman STEELMAN
and I are today reintroducing legislation

- HOUSE COMMITTEE ON INTERNAL
SECURITY
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a
previous order of the House, the gentle-
man from Maryland (Mr. BAUMAN) is rec-
ognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. BAUMAN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday
the House, in an extremely unfortunate
decision, decided to abolish the House
Committee on Internal Security. The
crucial vote came on the previous ques-
tion on the new House rules and the vote
was 247 in favor of abolishing the com-
mittee and 172 against. On this vote, the
House accomplished what the commit-
tee's enemies including the Communist
Party have been trying to do for more
than thirty years; to destroy one of the
most effective arms anticommunism has
had in this Nation.
I'have no doubt in my mind that if a
separate roll call vote on abolishing the
committee had been allowed, the major-
ity would have favored its continuance.
Unfortunately, the Democratic Caucus
voted in secret on this matter and be-
cause of the parliamentary situation
members were not forced, as they should
have been, to vote directly on this issue.
In past sessions of the Congress a ma-
jority has voted consistently to,'retain
this committee-most recently on Octo-
ber 2, 1974, when the vote was 246 in
favor and 164 opposed. As was pointed out
in yesterday's debate, the Committee on
Internal Security has been the only
stalding committee in the House charged
with conducting continuing investiga-
tions in order to inform the House con-
cerning subversion. At a time when our
democratic institutions are threatened,
both within and without our borders, by
international revolutionary forces, this
House has voted to weaken the internal
security of our Nation.
During the Republican Conference
which was held yesterday, I offered a mo-
tion that the Republican Party in the
House go on record in' support of the
colitinuation of the House Committee on
Internal Security. This motion was
adopted on a standing vote of 68 to 26
which demonstrates the overwhelming
support the committee has amongst our
Republican members. I am proud that my
party was willing to take this stand and
was also willing to go on record on this
issue.
I intend to join others in the House in
an, effort to renew the mandate of this
committee and its existence because I be-
lieve it is a vital part of our national in-
terest in fighting subversion.

COMPREHENSIVE 'RIGHT TO
PRIVACY
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a
previous order of the House, the gentle-
man from California (Mr. GOLDWATER)
is recognized for 30 minutes.
Mr. GOLDWATER. Mr. Speaker, it
gives me a great deal of pleasure to an-
nounce to the House that the bipartisan
coalition of Congressman ED KOCH and
myself on the issue of comprehensive
privacy legislation will continue in the
94th Congress. Today, we are introducing
a revised Koch-Goldwater Comprehen-
sive Right to Privacy Act.
Because of the successful passage of
privacy legislation in the closing days of
the last Congress, and because that leg-
islation applied solely to the Federal
Government, the new Koch-Goldwater
legislation will contain provisions that
apply only to the States and localities,
to private enterprise and to nonprofit
organizations. A brief description of the
legislation and the text, as introduced,
will follow my remarks.
Congressman KocH and myself intend
to offer this legislation for cosponsor-
ship and a "Dear Colleague" soliciting
your support will be sent out in a few
days. Both of us encourage each of our
colleagues to consider our proposal care-
fully. We believe that you will find the
simplicity, clarity, and flexibility of our
proposal worthy of your support.
Our legislation contains the following
provisions:
RIGHT To PRIVACY ACT: SUMMARY OF NEW
LEGISLATION
FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSE
An individual's personal privacy is af-
fected by the extensiveness of collection,
use, and disclosure of information about
him.
Organizations keeping personal infor-
mation should allow individuals the right
to know files exist, to inspect them, and
correct inaccurate statements.
The increasing use of computers and
sophisticated information technology has
greatly magnified the harm that can
occur from misuse of personal informa-
tion.
Personal information includes any-
thing that describes an individual, such
as his education, financial transactions,
medical or employment records, and life-
style.
SAFEGUARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
All State and local governments and.
business organizations and nonprofit
organizations must comply with these
requirements, whether having manual
or computer based information systems.
Information collected should be ap-
propriate to needs of the organization
seeking it, maintained completely and
competently, and personal information
must not be given to third parties with-
out the individual's consent.
Whefi information is collected, the in-
dividual must be told if the request is
mandatory or voluntary and what pen-
alty or loss of benefit will result for non-
compliance.
Several categories of privileged, sensi-
tive information should be established
by organizations and particular require-

ments set before the information is dis-
seminated.
Information about Americans cannot
be transferred to a foreign e)untry un-
less the provisions of the act are extended
by any receiving country.
Persons involved in handling personal
information must act under a code of
professional secrecy and be subject to
penalties for any breaches.
Anyone wishing to stop receiving mail
because his name is on a mailing list can
do so.
Individuals cannot be required to give
their social security number fcr any pur-
pose not related to their social security
account.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Organizations using personal informa-
tion must give annual public notice
describing their information systems.
An individual may receive at reason-
able cost a copy of his file including in-
vestigative reports, which must contain
its uses and transfers to third parties, be
able to challenge inaccurate c:r undocu-
mented information, and have his posi-
tion in a dispute added to his file.
Individuals must be notified that in-
formation is being maintained about
them.
for private lands. County governments
would then:, at their option, receive pay-
ments from the Federal Government
based on the actual value of the Federal
lands within their boundaries or con-
tinue to receive the Federal revenues
that normally flow from those lands un-
der other Federal programs.
The bill is relatively simple in concept,
uncomplicated to administer, and it of-
fers a solution to a number of serious
Problems associated with Federal land
ownership.
In the Western States, where much of
the land is publicly owned, the impact
of the Federal presence is highly visible.
But anywhere that the Federal Govern-
ment owns land, there is an impact, and
'eason dictates that there should be an
)rderly and logical way to deal with that
mpact. In Utah, with over 70 percent
;)f the land owned by the Federal Gov-
-,rnment, the impact of public lands on
adjacent communities is of real concern
to us. We enjoy benefits from Federal
:and, but the Federal presence generates
certain responsibilities and certain diffi-
.ulties that are being met only haphaz-
urdly.
There are a number of programs under
which local governments are compen-
=ated in part for Federal land holdings.
however, none of these programs is tied
o the actual impact of Federal land, nor
,to they assure the localities that the
oats generated by the Federal presence
will be met in Federal revenues.
Life in rural America traditionally has
reen complicated by some unique prob-
?ems. The many services taken for
,.ranted in our towns and cities, such as
, lectricity, water, telephones, health
ervices, and law enforcement, are
carce, high priced, or even nonexistent.
One major cause for this situation is the
lack of a strong property tax base to
inance services. In more densely popu-
ated areas of the Nation, local govern-
=nents have come under increasing pres-
ure as they try to reconcile rising ex-
>ectations for services with inflation that
'
Eats into budgets and increase prices be-
,ond the scope of affordability. Rural
,;;overnments suffer these burdens, as well
s the added problems of low tax bases
.rid greater per capita expenses. And the
i problem is compounded where the pres-
nee of Federal lands generate a need
or governmental services, while denying
he corresponding tax base to finance
hose services.
Installations located on Federal land,
laineral development and recreational
i se of Federal land-all attract popu:la-
i on to adjacent areas. This population
requires many services and services cost
i lre State and local governments money.

i tderal land is nontaxable. The injustice
c'f this situation has been recognized in

ments where Federal Installations have

eral land. Under a sy,c, ';em of pa` a,.
in lieu of taxes, feirne s would be ins?

a logical share of the coats associated
with the impact of Fedt rat lands.

mended by the Public and Law Revie+x

ments the flexibility tli ey must have to

ment.

EXCEPTIONS
Criminal law enforcement, press files,
and certain administrative ir. formation
systems are excluded if specifically ex-
empted by statute or Executive order
where Congress is duly informed.
FEDERAL PRIVACY BOARD
Establish a five-member Federal Pri-
vacy Board serving on a full-Line basis,
appointed by the President a th Senate
confirmation, having 3-year te.-ms.
The Board will collect and publish
information on personal information sys-
tems, issue regulations, conduct research
on improving standards, inspect systems
when noncompliance is suspe,ted, hear
requesst for exceptions, and transmit
annual reports to Congress anc the Pres-
ident.
Only Congress can grant e.semptions
or exclusions from this act. States and
localities will be encouraged to establish
privacy authorities to have the same
duties as the Federal Board.
PENAL"IES
There are civil and criminal penalties
to be assessed by the courts, at the re-
quest of individuals or the Board.
Injunctions can be sought by the
Attorney General to s' op practices violat-
ing the act.

IMMUNI rY
The SPEAKER, pro t=pore. Under a
previous order of the P Ouse, the gentle-
man from Utah (Mr. h-IowE) is recog-
nized for 5 minutes.
Mr. HOWE. Mr. Speaker, many of our
Western States have substantial portions
of their land areas in F?,deral ownership,
Unlike most other States, these lands
have never passed thror gh the historical
process of grant and h mmestead to pri-
vate ownership. While I -altzing the ulti-
mate goal would be th, s private owner-
ship of these lands, the 1. ill offered, today,
addresses the more exi ?ent demand for
tax equity and econon-fc development.
The Federal ownershir of these lands
creates substantial reve::ue inequities for
these States by deprivir;g their counties
of any right to levy taxes on these lands.
An artificial expedient has been at-
tempted through the r?-turn of royalty
payments and grazing I .,?es to the coun-
ties affected. In my ow-i State of Utah
these fees uniformally 'all far short of
what the individual co=rntfes would re-
ceive in property tax r lvenues if these
lands were privately ovuied. On Forest
Service lands, for examp_e, these counties
get an average return f-om the Federal
Government of 4 cents = oer acre. In con-
trast{ to this temporizfnt solution now in
effect, both reason and c qulty would dic-
tate the Federal Gover-ment should be
treated as the land owi-er which It has
become. The Federal Government would,
then, be required to mak a fair payment
in lieu of those taxes wh; ^h such counties

visory role, our oversight authority in
this area.
I cannot help but recall for the Mem-
bers of this body, as I did for the mem-
bers of my committee, that it was 12
years ago, in the` 88th Congress, that I
sponsored a resolution for a joint com-
mitter;. Our now absent colleague, at that
time the gentleman from New York, Mr.
Lindsay being the principal sponsor, I
felt then and I feel now that a committee
specifically devoted and charged with the
responsibility of oversight in this area is
necessary and is important.
But having said all of that, it seems to
me, as I read this particular resolution,
that it grants the most sweeping au-
thority imaginable. There is literally no
Federal agency, as I read this legisla-
tion,' that would be entirely immune
from a probe because it gives no deft-
nitioi7. of "intelligence."
In section 3 it lists all of the agencies
that were mentioned a moment ago by
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. MUR-
PHY). These include all great depart-
ments of the Government like the De-
partment of Justice and the Department
of the Treasury, even the Energy, Re-
search and Development Administration,
as well as those intelligence agencies
with which we are more familiar, the
Q1Pyy the FBI, the Defense Intelligence
Agency, and all of the defense intelli-
gence components of the Departments
of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.
This is sweeping authority indeed, and
it. seems to me that we have to be very
careful that we do, therefore, make the
terms of the investigative effort so broad
and so all-encompassing, without any
'Zoundarles,,wh tsoever, that we get into
tly mirk andh morass of investiga-
tive ctivity that would cost untold hun-
dredS,of.tlaausando, even millions, of dol
lars and yet not be productive of the kind
of recommendations that we hope will
come out of this committee if it is created
and out of the committee in the Senate
It is for that reason, not because I
oppose the idea that we have a legitimate
oversight function with which we ought
to be concerned, that I have circulated
these four amendments and commended
them to the membership of this body,
with the hope that . they would adopt
them today as amendments to House
Resolution 138.
First of all, I want to refer to the one
that would provide for a five and five
membership on, the committee. This res-
olution will follow otherwise the rule of
the Democratic caucus, which provides
for two-thirds plus ,one as the ratio of
Democrats to Republicans on this
committee.
This is not a legislative committee.
Whatever justification the Members on
this side of the aisle may have for such
a rule in the House caucus as it applies
to legislative committees, it should not
apply to a select committee investigating
one of the most delicate, sensitive areas
that could possibly be encompassed
within the scope of any congressional
investigation.
I make no blind, blatant charges of
partisanship over here. I make no
charges that anyone is out on a fishing
expedition designed to embarrass the
past administration or the present ad-
ministration, because this problem ex-
tends back for many years into adminis-
trations both Democrat and Republican.
At least since the time, I believe, of,
John F. Kennedy there has been increas-
ing involvement, apparently, on the part
of the CIA particularly and perhaps
other ii "efl1 ence agencies of the Federal
Government as well, in some of these
activities, both covert and overt, that
have stirred recent alarms. Therefore,
I think that it is a bipartisan problem.
It ought to be approached in a biparti-
san fashion, and I would hope, therefore,
that in establishing ratios on this com-
mittee, we would not be bound by some
standard rule as it deals with the ordi-
nary legislative committee.
Let me point out one specific example.
In the last Congress, when we set out to
investigate the operations of this Con-
gress-and what could be nearer and
dearer to our hearts than that? And more
sensitive, really, to our individual role
as legislators, than the operations of this
body? We did not establish that com-
mittee with a partisan ratio. We estab-
lished it under the chairmanship-and
the very able chairmanship-of the gen-
tleman from Missouri (Mr. BOLLING) on
a 5-to-5 ratio, 5 Democrats and 5 Re-
publicans. They went very thoroughly,
for almost 18 months, into all of the
ramifications and operations of this
House and its committees, and came up
with a very excellent report.
I think a bipartisan committee can do
the same kind of job if they are allowed
to function in a truly bipartisan manner,
as I have suggested.
Second, I think that the fact that
there is no price tag on this resolution
makes it defective; that, just as the Sen-
ate did in its resolution, it provided $750,-
000 as an expense budget, and a $100,-
000 subceiling budget for outside con-
sultants. It makes good sense to do, that
in this resolution. If the committee finds
that it is going` to have to expend more
funds than it can come back an'd get an
additional authorization, am sure, for
additional expenditures. But let us not
start out with what the gentleman from
Maryland was worried. about a few min-
utes ago so that we get into the kind of
boundless investigation that just prolif-
erates in all directions at once, because
there is absolutely no ceiling at all on
the expenditure of funds. I hope that
amendment when it is offered will have
your support.
Third, instead of waiting until next
year, until the end of January, let us
give, it a September 1 reporting date. Let
us coordinate our activities with the
activities of the other body. The senior
Senator from Idaho, as I said a few
minutes ago, said that he is willing to
coordinate his efforts and give their re-
port by September I. 'So it makes sense
to me that we have a similar reporting
date so that we can work in tandem with
that comittee, then, and better coordi-
nate the activities of the two Houses in
this area.
dealing with the very important matter
of specific safeguards for protecting clas-
sified materials.
There is some very general language
in the resolution dealing with, this sub-
ject, and it merely says that the com-
mittee shall establish rules as they deem
necessary to prevent unauthorized dis-
closures of information and testimony.
I would suggest that better language
would be language identical to that in
the Senate resolution. I have taken that
language exactly as it was passed in the
other body, providing that the committee
shall set up specific procedures to clear
individuals, to provide them with the
necessary security clearances before they
deal with these very sensitive and, I am
sure, highly classified materials.
There is nothing very radical about the
proposals I have made. I think they will
give us the sense in this House that we
are moving in a bipartisan and very or-
derly fashion in coordination with the
activities of the other body so as to get
on with the needed business of deciding
what went wrong, if it did go wrong and,
more importantly, what we can now do
to recommend a better and more con-
tinuing type of oversight of the intel-
ligence community in the future.
So I hope the Members will support
the amendments that I have described
when they are offered, when we debate
this under the 5-minute rule, and with
those amendments I think we will be able
to get on with the very important task
that has to be dealt with.
Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Chairman,
will the gentleman yield?
Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois. I yield to
the gentleman from Indiana.
Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Chairman
I think no one would disagree about the
oversight authority and responsibility
this House has, so far as that oversight
pertains to amendments and changes in
the law and in the statutes, and also so
far as responsibility as to how funds ap-
propriated by this Congress are spent as
respects various activities, but I am not
at all sure that it is intended by the over-
sight responsibility to limit them to that.
Does the gentleman foresee the pos-
sibility that this oversight select com-
mittee might get into the policymaking
duties of the various agencies?
Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois. No, I do
not think it would attempt to do that.
We would have to physically decry any
effort to interfere with the legitimate
intelligence-gathering functions.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gen-
tleman has expired.
Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois. Mr. Chair-
man, I yield myself 3 additional minutes.
I do not think there. is any disagree-
ment-or, I hope there is not any wide-
spread disagreement-with the proposi-
tion that we need an intelligence service
in this country to properly guarantee our
national security. Agencies of the kind
'that are listed in this resolution-the
Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI, the
-.all are needed. It is a question,
however, of making sure that they carry
out that intelligence function in a way
that does not unconstitutionally violate
individual rights of Americans here at
Finally, I will offer an amendment home, and also, I think, does not involve

them in activities that are re=:ily nonger-

function.
Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Will the gen-
tleman yield further?
Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois,. I yield to
the gentleman from Ladiana.
Mr. MYERS of Indiana. I thank the
gentleman for yielding.
If I understand his response, there is
absolutely no intent to give this select
committee the authority to influence
policymaking by any of the agencies,
that they will have the responsibility
overall, but it is simply to limit the au-
thority to oversight as to Ani ricaus and
funds used; is that corect?
Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois. I want to
be very candid with the gentleman. I
cannot assure him that they will not
make recommendations that in effect
would deal in the policy area or with
the policymaking function of ;here agen-
cies, but let me remind him that this
committee has legislative author':

Mr. BAUMAN. Mr. Chairman, will the

Mr. ANDERSON of Illinois. I yield to
the gentleman from Marylatd.
Mr. BAUMAN. I thank the gentleman
for yielding.
There are at least seven different
standing committees that have some sort
of jurisdiction over intellige:ice activi-
ties in the House. I have heard rumors
that, regardless of what the :louse may
do in creating a select committee, some
of these committees or the subcommittee
chairmen will proceed with collateral in-
vestigations of the same issue.
Does the gentleman have any informa-
tion about any plans to at least try to
consolidate all of these investigations,
or are we going to go off in all different
directions at once for whatever purposes
the individual committees involved may
have?
Mr. ANDERSON of Iliinoii;. My per-
sonal hope would certainly bf that dur-
ing the period that this select committee
is functioning, if it is establi;;hed, there.
would be a moratorium on a lot of in-
vestigative activity by these other sub-
committees. Obviously. I am x of in a po-
sition to speak, however, for the gentle-
men who might be in a position to con-
tinue to assert that jurisdiction.
Mr. BAUMAN. If the gentleman will
yield further, there is, however, notsting
in this resolution that says Sc'?
Mr. ANDERSON of "zilinois. No. There
is nothing in here that specifically says
there is a moratorium.
Mr. GIAIMO. Mr. Chairman, will the

There are about seven committees or sub-
committees that do have an Involvement
or a partial involvement. Possibly only
one could have the overall jurisdiction to
cover all aspects.
For example, some have jurisdiction
over the FBI.- others have jurisdiction
over the CIA, et cetera. It is designed
that these committees will continue to do
what they are empowered to do under
the existing rules of the House.
This committee Is designed to look at
several factors primarily: Is there sub-
stance to the allegations of wrong-
doing?
Should there be recommendations for
changes in the methods in which the
v: arious intelligence services are condilct-
ing their activities-things of that type?
It would not be to usurp the powers of
the existing committees or subcommit-
tees.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gen-
tleman has expired.
Mr. MURPHY of Illinois. Mr. Chair-
man, I yield 7 minutes to the gentleman
from Connecticut (Mr. GIAIMO).
(Mr. GIAIMO asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. GIAIMO. Mr. Chairman, let me
explain to the Members why we are ap-
fearing here today on this resolution to
establish a Select Committee on Intelli-
gence. There has been a growing belief
among the Members of Congress and
among the public at large that all is not
well with the Intelligence agencies of the
United States or that all may not be
well and a growing concern that Con-
gress should exercise to a greater degree
than it has Its oversight function.
We are intending to maintain a good
and adequate Intelligence service for
the United States. We are equally de-
termined to assure the rights of the citi-
zens of the United States so that these
rights will not be infringed in any way
by anyone, and particularly by Federal
intelligence agencies.

Beyond that, many or-M-ese Intelli-
gence agencies have been in existence for
many, many years, some from before
World War II, and some of our ma.ior
ones certainly came into prominence
right after World War II. Their means of
e.onducting their activities developed in
those years, particularly in the late 1940's
and early 1950's. Are these activities still
proper ones? Are they still wise ones in
which those agencies should he involved?
Should we, for example. conduct covert
operations, in the same way in which we
have been doing? This is another area of
=nvestigation by this select committee.
Therefore, it was the feeling of the
averwhelming majority of those Mem-
hers of the majority party In their caucus
that a committee of the Congress should
took into this entire matter of activities
of the intelligence agencies. We do not
deny to the Executive the right to set en
the Commission which they have to look
Into the allegations of Impropriety, no='
do we intend to prej clge the work an;i
the recommendations of that Carrmis-
sion. But certainly as the executive
branch has the right te: oversee those ac-
tions, very clearly the,'ongresss also does.
and this is what we intend to do today.
We have many committees which have
jurisdiction. For Instance, the Commit-
tee on the Judiciary hfc; jurisdiction ove'
the FBI. and the Committee on Armed:
Services has jurisdiction over the CIA
and the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency has jurisdiction aver the Treasury
and Internal Revenue There are man"
committees. The A pprc' riations Commit-
tee also has a function here. But I doubt,
whether there is e.ny one committee the
has overall jurisdiction and can look a f.
all the intelligence branches of the U.S.
Government, with the possible exception,
and I say with the possible exception, o'
the Government Operations Committee
It may have.
Be that as it may. there has been
growing feeling among the overwhelm-
ing majority of Members that there
should be a per se Intelligence Commit-
tee to look Into thr e allegations Of
wrongdoing.
I myself would havw- preferred a joint
committee. I am sum that many of w
would have, and I am sure the gentle-
man from Illinois (11i. ANDERSON) rec-
ognizes that as a practical matter the
other body has already begun with its
select committee and `here is very little

to establish a select committee. It is this
institution which I& golr:g? to conduct the
oversight and the investigation of the
alleged innapairmem of 'lie rights of in-
dividual citizens, by mason of illegal,
immoral, and unethical activities alleged
to have been carried c-;t by the intelli-

quently, it seems to m:: that we should
do this in a responsiblr-, objective man-
ner through the establi, iment of a select
committee which will he even balanced
between the majority 1=nd the minority
parties.
I want to assure those who are oppos-
ing this amendment on the other side of
the aisle of our sinterft interest on this
side of the aisle of doing the kind of
thorough job, not onl;; with respect to
this administration, but with respect to
prior administrations, and we do not
want to have any cove up of any earlier
activities, which certainly could result,
if the control is there and the political
interest is there, to protect and to cover
up with respect to an e"-rlier administra-
tion. Consequently, I believe that If we
are to be truly biparti_~.an and truly ob-
jective and truly responsible to the
American people in catrnection with this
select committee. we should support
overwhelmingly the amendment offered
by my colleague, the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. ANDERSON).
I hope the House v =1l give that kind
of support to this amendment.
Mr. RHODES. Mr. chairman, I move
to strike the requisite number of words,
(Mr. RHODES asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. RHODES. Mr. ( =iairman, the gen-.
tleman from Illinois (1M1r, ANDERSON) has
offered four amendments, all of which
I think would be a ? rest improvement
to this bill. I axn particularly interested
in the amendment which would change
the composition of the committee so that
it would be equal be?:ween the parties.
Select committees, without legislative
authority, should be bpartisan. They are
customarily evenly, or nearly evenly
divided between the 1. arties and I think
this precedent follow:td in both Houses
should not be abando red.
I recognise the ab :icy of the Demo-
cratic side, and o< the Democratic
caucus, to impose :,.s will upon the
House. It Las the vo os to do it, and if
it wants to do it, it certainly can, but
I ask the Members on my right to think
ahead to the possible time when the
majorities might be cifferent, and I ask
them if they think it would be a good
idea for a select committee to be set up
by this body which would be seven to
three.
I also auk the if they think it Is a

I .also suggest that this investigation is
necessary. I agree that it.is. I am,pleased
that it is going to be done, by a select
committee instead. of by various other
committees in which there would be
overlapping investigations made. That
part of it I agree with completely. But
it seems to me the people, the citizens
of the Republic, would feel much better
about the whole thing and would feel
much more confident about the findings
of this committee--that there would not
be a witch hunt-if the members of the
committee were evenly divided between
the parties.
So, Mr. Chairman, I speak for all of
the amendments offered by the gentle.
man from Illinois, and I particularly
address myself to the one involving the
content of the committee.
Mr. BRODHEAD. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the requisite number of
words, and I rise, in opposition to the
amendment.
(Mr. BRODHEAD asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his
remarks.),
Mr. BRODHEAD, Mr. Chairman, it
seems' to me that the amendment to
make this committee evenly divided be-
tween the two parties would have the
effect of to be trying to reverse the re-
sults of the last election. If the people
wanted the responsibilities to be divided
5O-5o between the two parties they would
have voted that way. They did not. They
voted two-thirds for one party and one-
third for the, other. I do not understand
why the minority is trying to obstruct
the work of this HQuse by offering such
an amendment with respect to this
committee..
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. ANEEasON).
The question was taken; and the
Chairman announced that the noes ap-
peared to have it,

like to point out to the members of the
Committee that we have taken precau-
tions here to see to it that the select com-
mittee is limited in duration to the end
of this year, January 31, 1976. It is not
our intention nor our desire to perpetu-
ate the Select Committee on Intelligence
year after year after year. At the same
time-and I am sure that my good friend,
the gentleman from Illinois, will agree
with me-we want to assure the commit-
tee sufficient time to do a creditable job
and proper investigation in this area of
intelligence activities. We think that the
September deadline mentioned in the
amendment of the gentleman is not real-
istic. It gives very little time.
I recognize the fact that the other body
has selected that date. However, I would
say that the other body has already
passed its legislation. It has.a head start
of some weeks on this body and, quite
frankly, it is our opinion and that of
the cosponsors of this legislation that the
deadline date which the other body has
incorporated into this legislation will not
be sufficient to do a proper job, and my
guess will be that they will be extend-
ing theirs.
I do not think it is unreasonable to
'limit the duration of this select commit-
tee until January 31, 1976, and I ask
that the amendment be voted down.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentle-
man from Illinois (Mr. ANDERSON)
The amendment was rejected.
Mrs. FENWICK. Mr. Chairman, I move
to strike the last word.
(Mrs. FENWICK asked and was given
permission to revise and extend her
remarks.)
Mrs. FENWICK. I should like to ap-
peal, Mr. Chairman, to the Members of
this House, and most particularly to my
friends on the other side of the aisle. I
think we all know that patriotism rath-
er than partisanship is what must guide
us if we are to respond to what the peo-
ple told us to do In the last election.
There is more to it. I think an investiga-
tory body has to not only do justice but
be seen to do justice. I think that we
should rise to it. I hope very much, since
the section does not describe the mem-
bership of the committee, but leaves it
entirely to the generosity and the spirit
of bipartisanship of the Speaker and of
the leadership and of the great majority
of Democrats in this House, that per-
haps it could be at least 6-to-4, if not
5-to-5.
I know that my friends on the other
side of the aisle know that I speak in no
partisan spirit, but I think it would con-
vince'the people of this Nation that we
can rise above party, that we are ear-
nestly seeking the truth, that we are not
trying to go on witch hunts or hurt peo-
ple, but that we are trying to protect the
integrity of our institutions and the ur-
gent and necessary fact that the institu-
tions of government cannot be used for
personal or political reasons. All this
needs to be driven home, and I hope that
the composition of the committee will ef-
fect it.
I thank the Chairman.

The CHAIRMAN. If there are no
further amendments, under the rule, the
Committee rises.
Accordingly the Committee rose; and
the Speaker having resumed the chair,
Mr. FLYNT, Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole House on the State of the
Union, reported that that Committee,
having had under consideration the res-
olution (H. Res, 138) establishing a
Select Committee on Intelligence, pur-
suant to House Resolution 174, he re-
ported the resolution back to the House
with sundry amendments adopted by the
Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER. Under the rule, the
previous question Is ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any
amendment? If not, the Chair will put

The amendments were agreed to.
The SPEAKER. The question is on the
resolution.
