THE ART OF GOVERNMENT
HON. TOM HAGEDORN
OP M174111/11101%
IN THE HOUSE OP REPRESMNTATIVES
Wednesday, June 28, 1978
I Mr. HAGEDORN. Mr. Speaker, while
t is the multi-billion-dollar expenditures
hat do them the most damage, it is Ire-
fuently the petty indignities heaped
mon taxpayers by many public officials
hat most infuriate them. A recent ex-
unple is the case of the 257 "unlocated"
vorks of art that have been loaned out
)7 the National Collection of Fine Arts to
rarious executive offices.
According to a report by Dom Bona-
!.ede in the National Journal, at least 257
original works of art, purchased with tax
dollars for the enjoyment of the public,
and loaned primarily to Presidential
aides, are likely never to be recovered.
While no total value has been placed on
these works, it is worth noting that only
the highest quality art work is ever ac-
cepted or purchased by the collection in
the first place.
This bipartisan thievery, and there is
no other name for it in my opinion, typi-
fies the lack of respect, manifested in so
many other ways, that too many public
officials have for taxpayer dollars. I
would like to bring to the attention of my
colleagues the complete list of these miss-
ing paintings. While I doubt it, I would
hope that some of their current
"possessors" would be shamed into re-
turning their stolen property.
The list follows:

Freud told: about a. patient of his, whose
wife had given him ? book. Patient and
wife weren't getting along. The patient, lost
the new book before he had a. chance to.
read it.. Ile looked everywhere; he could not
find the book.
Six months. later, when the- patient and
his wife were getting along better, the, pa-
tient. found, the book, in an. obvious place in

Life." IPreud's conclusion. was. that ordinary
accidents/end inaidents?of absentmindedness

ORDINAAT JUSTICZ Or ErlytY DAT LIM
Ordinary justice Is what' we people give
one to. another because we hops to be able to
live together. This justice is a quiet,. every-
day thing. Our access to. justice is quiet and
ordinary, too?as quiet and. ordinary as the.
psychopathologyof everyday life,.
Contractsare an example. Law students.
study complex cases or disputed. contracts.
Hollywood' even makes movies about law stu-
dents, studying contract disputes. The courts
in one Indiana county may decide a hundred
lawsuits this month and which Involve con-
tracts, But today, In the same county, tens
of thousands of contracts will be performed
without-dispute?everything from two neigh-
bors who agree to share the cost of repairing
common driveway to a term loan agreement.
to finance a new factory at the edge of town.
For every lawsuit over a will which I. tried
In our courts, hundreds of wills are opened,
read; and quietly carried out.
For every criminal case which goes to trial,
hundreds of violations and the law are re-
solved or avoided by police officers, public of-
ficials, and such ingenious institutions as
the night prosecutor's office In St. Joseph
County:
All of this happens-because most of us are
willing to- give pence to one another. We
are willing; even, to give more than justice;
we are willing to- pay a little extra as an in-
vestment in order and mutual confidence
and a peaceful community:
And so, if we are wise enough, we don't
demand' all' our rights. The mortgage com-
pany takes a late payment,. The man next
door throws- my- son's ball back over the
fence. The police officer takes more abuse
than- he should have to take from a drunk
or a cocky teenager.
That Is the justice of everyday life,, and.
everyday life is our main access to justice.
Everyday justice is not an accident, anymore
than the psychopathology of everyday- life
Is an accident.
317STICR. IS A VIRTUE
The justice of everday life depends on good
will, but the good will on which everday
justice depends Is not good will at large. It
is not a matter of my extending kindness
when I feel like being kind. The good will on
which justice depends la more disciplined
than. that. Thla good will, has been built on
habit?the habit of justice under law. That's
what we- mean when we say- justice IsaL vir-
tue. That it is a habit. Virtues, are good
habits:
One reason. tens of thousands of contracts
are being performed today, without dispute,.
Is. that. we expect one, another to. keep prom-
ises. And every year hundreds of lawyers.
