requested is available, I trust the whole
matter can be worked out. The people
who have indicated an interest In this
bill-and they were of rather responsible
character-were not in town and were
not back until this morning. I did not
realize the calendar was going to be
cak]ed.Llaopede able to adjust the
wa* establi shed. z. It. Is, now fzmctioning'..
as s, part-, of'.,-.the general', unification
scheme. order' to conduct its bust-
ness Droperly` with= the other agencies: of' the' Government lb-should have a seal Of
its-.own~.and the 'necessary, authority, to
act in the ordinary way other bureaus
of the Government act. The bill is es-
sentially for that purpose. It gives the
Agency, several advantages over other
departments; because of the confidential
nature of its undertaking and of the
necessity of many of its employees being
located in foreign country under cir-
cumstances not open to disclosure.
The Committee on Armed Services
considered the bill very carefully, and
spent several days on it. I believe if we
want the Unification Act to function, if
we want the Central Intelligence to have
full opportunity to take its proper place
in the activities of the Government at
this stage, particularly in our relations
with other countries, and in obtaining
knowledge from other countries, the bill
should become a law at this time.
Mr. BREWSTER. Mr. President, I was
the one who raised the objection, and I
want to assure the Senator from. Massa-
chusetts and the" other members of the
committee that the objection I have is
not captious. I have assured Senators
that as soon as the information I have
hope a Senator Wha obiectedto the bill;
will withhold hisob3ection if he feels he
can ? do so.:: Last? year under the Unifica- ;
tion At the Central Intelligence Agency,
