November 7, 1969 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE S 13963
Not long ago, we were told that business as
a whole planned a $2 billion increase in
spending for plant and equipment in the
fourth quarter of this year. More recent
figures show that no such increase is con-
templated. This may reflect in part the capac-
ity limitations of producer goods industries,
but the pattern is very similar to that of past
periods when capital spending .began to flat-
ten.
Wholesale and consumer prices have not
turned down, but their rate of increase has
slowed perceptibly, and retail sales have been
essentially flat for the past six months.
No one of those indicators offers proof
that we are out of the burning woods. But
they do tell us that the firemen have arrived
and things are beginning to happen.
In view of these signs of easing in the
economy, it may be asked whether or not
the time has come to let up on the brakes.
The question is especially relevant because
the repeal of the investment credit and ex-
tension of the tax surcharge at 5 percent
through mid-1970 are now before the Senate.
Let me emphasize as strongly as I can that
this Administration continues to believe that
these tax measures are essential to our over-
all strategy of inflation control. Without their
enactment, the budget in the current fiscal
year would be perilously close to deficit
rather than in a position of healthy, non-
inflationary surplus.
Certainly we will be alert to the moment
when policy should change course. The care-
ful transition to a more stable, less inflation-
ary economy is an exacting exercise in eco-
nomic policy-making. During this transition,
the most important and difficult decisions
are those which involve the proper timing of
policy changes.
Not until we have reasonable evidence that
inflation and inflationary expectations are
definitely receding can we consider any re-
laxation of present policy. Inflation Is too
deeply embedded for us to ease up until
such evidence is unmistakably clear. Our
past ekperience indicates the danger of
changing the direction of policy too soon.
In fact, a premature reversal contributes to
the build up of basic inflationary conditions,
requiring an even more painful adjustment
in the end.
I should point out to you, however, that
when the time arrives for such a change in
policy we will be equipped with a variety
of automatic and discretionary tools for
implementing that change. Not only do we
have the traditional monetary and expendi-
ture actions which can be undertaken, but
also there are a number of built-in features
which will operate to sustain the economy
in the coming year and to support those seg-
ments of society who are least able to pro-
tect themselves from any economic reversal:
If approved by the Congress, the income
tax surcharge will drop to 5 percent on
January 1, 1970, and disappear completely
on June 30, 1970.
Enactment of the Family Assistance Pro-
gram for reforming our welfare system will
assure income support for a large number
of low-income and dependent families.
Enactment of our tax reform proposals?
especially the low-income allowance?will
remove millions of low-income individuals
from the tax rolls.
Enactment of the President's proposd re-
forms in the Social Security System will pro-
vide both increased payments and protection
from inflation to those living on fixed
incomes.
Enactment of our proposals to modernize
the Federal-State unemployment insurance
system will provide us with a more respon-
sive mechanism for stabilizing the economy
automatically.
I have dwelt at some length at govern-
ment's role in this national effort to control
inflation. But all of us are aware that gov-
ernment is only the economic weather-
maker; Washington's function is to try to
create the climate in which this complex
market economy can function successfully.
Government alone cannot put out the
inflationary fire. Business and labor alike
must make their contributions to economic
stability. And it is most certainly in their
self-interest to do so.
Leadership in business and In labor car-
ries with it a high public responsibility. In
these difficult times, it calls for economic
statesmanship of the highest order. It calls
for restraint in private decision-making, for
resistance to the all-too-tempting line of
charging what the traffic will bear,
This kind of statesmanship is neither easy
nor painless, as those of us in government
who are charged with carrying out an anti-
inflation policy know all to well. But its suc-
cessful achievement is vital to the best In-
terests of every working man and woman
in America, and of every businessman as
well.
Inflation control also ranks as one of our
top international priorities. The world finan-
cial outlook is much brighter today than
it has been for many years, With the de-
cision taken at last week's meeting of the
Board of Governors of the International
Monetary Fund to create substantial
amounts of Special Drawing Rights, we can
look forward to an orderly increase in in-
ternational liquidity.
In addition, a number of important recent
developments have strengthened the world
financial system. The United Kingdom has
moved into a noticeably stronger position.
The French parity was adjusted without
serious disturbance. The German govern-
ment has taken significant action to deal
with speculative threats. The Interna
Monetary Fund staff will begin sVti
various proposals for limited excha g
flexibility. And perhaps the most i
stabilizing factor?in the view
Finance Ministers with whom I vi
week?has been the strong efforts ken by
the United States to control inflation. The
dollar is a key international currency. The
United States has a major responsibility to
preserve confidence in the value of its cur-
rency in order to maintain an open world
economy in which mutually beneficial trade,
travel, and investment can flourish.
Until this inflationary spiral was set in
motion four years and more ago, our prog-
ress in terms of economic growth and in-
dividual betterment was manifest. Reason-
able price stability made it possible for
working people to transform wage increases
directly into higher standards of living. The
same stability made possible a real growth
rate of 5 percent annually for the national
economy as a whole.
It is our firm purpose to restore that sta-
bility, to permit the resumption of produc-
tive economic growth, to give the working
people of this country an ever-rising stand-
ard of living instead of the paper pay raises
of inflation which is all they have received
for the past three years.
These are troubled times, and ours is a
deeply troubled society. But we are not a
fearful society. We know the job that has
to be done, and we have set about doing it,
as we have before in other troubled times.
As one who is proud to be a member of
the Nixon Administration, I can assure you
that your government is going to continue
to follow an enlightened economic policy
which will meet the basic economic objec-
tives of our Nation?rising employment,
productivity, and purchasing power in a
noninflationary environment.
filled his constitutional duties in the
Senate by presiding for 56 hours and 24
minutes. In 1966, Vice President Hum-
phrey presided over Senate deliberations
for 25 hours and 6 minutes, and in 1967
for 25 hours and 11 minutes.
Vice President AGNEW, as of October 23,
1969, has presided over the Senate for
58 hours and 38 minutes, a fact care-
fully noted by our distinguished junior
Senator from California.
Perhaps it would be well to note that
the time thus far spent in the chair by
Vice President AGNEW is more since Jan-
uary 21, 1969, than Vice President Hum-
phery accumulated from January 1966
to December 1967.
This information seems to be particu-
larly applicable to the Senettor's Oc-
tober 22 suggestion to the Vice President,
and I trust he will find it useful.

COMMENDATION FOR SENATORS
ON PASSAGE OF FAIR CREDIT
REPORTING ACT
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, yes-
terday, the Senate passed S. 823, the
consumer protection?or, as popularly
called, the fair credit reporting bill. The
Senate may be proud of this achieve-
ment, and I think the RECORD should
spow clearly that it was the devotion and
untiring efforts of the distinguished Sen-
ator from Wisconsin (Mr. PaoxrdnzE)
that made possible such an outstanding
success. Senator PROXMIRE can add this
as another fine contribution in his
abundant record in behalf of the Ameri-
can consumer. In steering this important
measure through the Senate, the able
and outstanding legislative skill that is
so apparent on every proposal handled
by Senator PROXMIRE was once again evi-
denced. The American public is deeply
grateful. Senator PROXMIRE is to be com-
mended.
Joining Senator PROXMIRE to assure
such an outstanding success was the dis-
tinguished senior Senator from Utah
(Mr. BENNETT) . His cooperation, devo-
tion, and able assistance was deeply
appreciated as well.

"(a) The Congress makes the following
findings:
"(1) The banking system is dependent

accurate credit reports directly impair the
efficiency of the banking system, and unfair
credit reporting methods undermine the
public confidence which is essential to the
continued functioning of the banking system.
"(2) An elaborate mechanism has been de-
veloped for investigating and evaluating the
credit worthiness, credit standing, credit
capacity, character, and general reputation
of consumers.
"(3) Consumer reporting agencies have as-
sumed a vital role in assembling and
evaluating consumer credit and other in-
formation on consumers.
"(4) There is a need to ensure that con-
sumer reporting agencies exercise their grave
responsibilities with fairness, impartiality,
and a respect for the consumer's right to
privacy.
"(b) It is the purpose of this title to re-
quire that consumer reporting agencies
adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the
needs of commerce for consumer credit, per-
sonnel, insurance, and other information in
a manner which is fair and equitable to the
consumer, with regard to the confidentiality,
accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of
such information in accordance with the re-
quirements of this title.

taining information solely ae to transactions
or experiences between the consumer and
the person making the report; (B) any au-
thorization or approval of a specific exten-
sion of credit directly or indirectly by the
issuer of a credit card or similar device; or
(C) any report in which a person who has
been requested by a third party to make a
specific extension of credit directly or in-
directly to a consumer conveys his decision
with respect to such request, if the third
party advises the consumer of the name and
address of the person to whom the request
was made and such person makes the dis-
closures to the consumer required under
section 615.
"(e) The term 'investigative consumer re-
Ea' means a consumer report or portion
t-h-eFeof in which information on a consumer's
character, general reputation,?personal char-
acteristics, or mode of living is obtained

sumer or from the consumer.
" (f ) 'the term 'consumer reporting agency'
means any person which, for monetary fees,
dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, reg-
ularly engages in whole or in part in the

sumer credit information or other informa-
tion on consumers for the purpose of fur-
nishing consumer reports to third parties,
and which uses cut means or facility of
interstate commerce for the purpose of pre-
paring or furnshing consumer reports.
"(g) The term 'file', when used in con-
nection with information on any cons-timer,

sumer recorded and retained by a consumer
reporting agency regardless of how the in-
formation is stored.
"(h) The term 'employment purposes,' when
used in connectibii witii a consumer report

CONTROL OF OUTDOOR ADVERTIS-
ING ALONG FEDERAL-AID HIGH-
WAYS
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the pending
business be laid aside temporarily and
that the Senate turn to the consideration
of Calendar No. 513, Senate bill 1442.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
will be stated by title.
The ASSISTANT LEGISLATIVE CLERK. A
bill (S. 1442) to amend section 131 of title
23 of the United States Code, relating to
control of outdoor advertising along Fed-
eral-aid highways, in order to authorize
one or more pilot programs for the pur-
pose of such section.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection to the request of the Senator
from Montana?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the bill, which had
been reported from the Committee on
Public Works with amendments, on page
1, line 8, after the word "out", strike out
"one or more"; at the top of page 2, in-
sert "Preference shall be given to any
State or States which have undertaken
agreements with the Secretary and pri-
vate individuals or business concerns to
carry out the provisions of this section.";
in line 9, after the Word "are", insert
"hereby"; in the same line, after the
word "appropriated", strike out the
comma and "out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated,";
in line 11, after the word "exceed",
strike out "$5,000,000" and insert "$15,-
000,000"; in line 13, after the word
"shall", strike out "remain available un-
til expended.'" and insert "be available
in accordance with the provisions of sub-
section (m) of this section."; and after
line 16, insert a new section, as follows:
(3) The Secretary is directed to report to
the Congress on the results of any pilot pro-
grams funded under this section together
with such recommendations as he deems
necessary to improve the administration of
the policy set forth in this section.
So as to make the bill read:

Mr. MOSS. Mr. Pr- ident, I am plea.sed
to speak in behalf , f 5.1442, a bill to
create a pilot outdo r advertising sign
removal program, iich I introduced
March 7, 1969.
This bill would e rmit one or more
pilot programs for e removal of non-
conforming billboar+ under the highway
beautification progt n. It is the result of
more than 2 year: A discussions and
meetings with Salt ; ike advertising ex-
ecutive Douglas T. iarr and numerous
of our key highway - icials,
Basically, the p: cram calls for ac-
quiring by contract ll the nonconform-
ing signs of a come. iy at one time, and
authorizing the ow: rig company to dis-
mantle and Tema-, the signs on an
agreed time schedu
The alternative : to remove noncon-
forming signs on a iighway beautifica-
tion project which .volves the condem-
nation of signs on sign-by-sign basis.
Research by the U State Department
of Highways prove: ach a procedure, the
second procedures would be extremely
expensive, costing tp to two to three
times as much moi:,

NOMINATION OF HON. CLEMKNT F.
HAYNSWORTH, JR., TO BE AN AS-
SOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SU-
PREME COURT
Mr. GURNEY, Mr. President, the dis-
tineuished majority leader announced
yesterday that the nomination of Judge
Clement P. Haynsworth. Jr., to be As-
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court may
be brought to the floor next Wednesday.
This is welcome news. The nomination is
of the greatest importance and it is the
hone of this Senator that we will be able
to act upon it next week.
I understand that the committee re-
poe-ts are having the final touches put on
them and should be available soon for the
study and consideration of all Senators.
An enormous amount of work has already
ben made available to 113 by our col-
leagues on the Judiciary Committee and
the issues have been pretty well drawn.
The distinguished junior Senator from
Indiana (Mr. Bavn) has provided a bill of
particulars for our consideration. The
ranking Republican on the Judiciary
Committee (Mr. HRUSKA) and the dis-
tinguished junior Senator from Ken-
tucky (Mr. Come), who also serves on
the committee, have made several excel-
lent speeches on the floor and have dis-
tributed to each Senator three memo-
randums dealing with the issues of ethics,
civil rights, and labor. These distin-
guished gentlemen and all members of
the Judiciary Committee are to be com-
mended for their efforts to clearly draw
and define the issues.
Mr. President, I have reviewed the
materials and the issues and I intend
to vote for the confirmation of Judge
if aynswunli. It is clear to me that Judge
Haynsworth Is a man of honor and high
ethical standards. His opinions are
scholarly. and they exhibit the intel-
lectual honesty that is the mark of a truly
impartial judge.
A great deal has been written and said
about this nomination. The primary
source, the hearing record, itself, Ls 762
pages long. Observers and commentators,
union officials. Senators, and the Presi-
dent of the United States have all spoken.
Judge Haynsworth's personal and ju-
dicial philosophy differs from that of
some other recent nominees. There is no
question about that. I will not attempt
to define this philosophy or predict his
behavior on the Court because history
November 6, 1969
has amply demonstrated the futility of
such a course. I will observe that it is not
surprising, in view of type of man and
philosophy that President Nixon wanted
to serve on the Supreme Court, that
those of a contrary philosophy have
waged a war against this nomination.
This was to be expected.
The adverse arguments brought for-
ward by those philosophically opposed
to Judge Haynsworth's nomination de-
serve our careful study. No Senator can
intelligently cast his vote if he knows
only one side of the question.
What are of greater interest to me,
however, are the testimony and observa-
tions of many who, although philosophi-
cally opposed to Judge Haynsworth,
commend the nomination or, at least
find the criticism of him unjust. The
opinions of those who speak against
their own philosophical Interests shoulc
be entitled to great weight.
Mr. John P. Prank, attorney, testifiec
in favor of Judge Haynsworth. He serve<
as law clerk to Justice Black, he ha:
taught at Yale and Indiana Law Schools
and has written about the Suprenn
Court, he Is a member of the Advisor
Committee of the Supreme Court an(
the Judicial Conference on Civil Proce
dure. He filed the first brief calling to
total school desegregation in 1950 in th
case of Sweatt against Painter. He wa
the first to write in favor of what ha
become known as the one-man, one-vot
rule. He was cocounsel in Mirand
against Arizona. In his testimony h
said:
I would without doubt have preferred
different administration to be appointing
more liberal Justice. But my aide lost e
election, and the fact of the matter Is th.
as a member of the bar we are called up<
by canon 8 to rise to the defense of judg

viction, sir, that the criticism directed to t
disqualification or nondisqualification
Judge Haynsworth is truly an unjust cri
elm which cannot be fairly made.

hearings record.
Mr. Prank's testimony was direci

titled to have the benefit- of accu-
rate information when decisions are
made regarding his purchase of insur-
ance, his employment, or the granting of
credit to him. In nearly all cases, there
are no problems. The reporting of infor-
mation on individuals is based on confi-
dence, honesty, and good will between
the reporting agency, the individual
seeking credit insurance or employment,
and the individual making the final de-
cision.
Many reporting agencies have proc-
essed millions of reports without any
complaints regarding the invasion of
privacy, inaccuracy of thelN reports, or
irrelevancy of the data. To be sure, errors
are made in this industry, despite the
good intentions of those involved. But
what errors may occur in the normal
process of the reporting business gen-
erally have little, if any, detrimental ef-
fect upon the person involved. No amount
of legislation will completely do away
with inaccuracy. On the other hand, it
is important that individuals know that
they have access to information which
Is being used regarding their activities.
This bill provides that individuals may
have access to information contained in
reports made on them. To many report-
ing agencies, this will bring no change in
their operations because they have al-
ways been willing to discuss the informa-
tion they have with individuals to whom
it applies. They have done this because
of their desire that the information be
accurate. Despite the relatively few
abuses in the reporting industry, there
are some individuals bath in the report-
ing industry and outside of the reporting
Industry who misuse information on in-
dividuals.
I think it is important that we under-
stand that this is not limited to reporting
agencies. During our hearings, several in-
dividuals complained about their experi-
ence with reporting agencies. As might be
expected, a careful study of the back-
ground of these indivdiuuals and the in-
formation contained on them in the files
of reporting agencies showed that in
some instances the information con-
tained was completely accurate so far as
could be determined. In other instances,
there were errors. We discovered, how-
ever, that often the problem that a con-
sumer has is because of a misunderstand-
ing rather than improper reporting by an
agency.
In our hearings, we also discovered
that we cannot protect an individual's
privacy or assure accuracy of information
by dealing only with reporting agencies.
It is necessary in some instances also to
deal with those who provide information
to reporting agencies and those who re-
ceive the information from those agen-
cies. We found cases where individuals
whom one would not suspect of misrepre-
sentation had intentionally fabricated
situations in order to receive information
from reporting agencies to which they
were not entitled. In one case, this was
done by a professor at a well-known uni-
versity who said that he was considering
promoting an employee, when no such
change was under consideration. He did
receive a report and used the report to
prove his feeling that credit-reporting
agencies provide information to unau-
thorized individuals. In another case, a
program was shown on a major television
network which proved that information
could be received from a credit-reporting
agency by individuals who should not
have access to the information. In this
case, a fictitious company was established
and reports were sought on individuals
stating that they desired credit from the
company.
It is because of this type of unau-
thorized use and the unauthorized se-
curing of information that the bill pro-
vides a penalty of up to $5,000 and 1
year's imprisonment for any person who
knowingly and willfully obtains a con-
sumer report under false pretenses.
Mr. President, it should also be
brought to the attention of the Senate
that this legislation is not supported by
reporting firms involved in making em-
ployment and insurance reports, the in-
surance industry, or the banking com-
munity. None of these disagree with the
purpose of the legislation to assure the
accuracy and confidentiality of infor-
mation reported on consumers. They do
disagree, however, with some of the re-
quirements contained in this legislation.
It is these particular disagreements
that we in the committee should watch
carefully over the next year or two to see
whether they are justified. If they are
not, we should change the law.
Despite the possible shortcomings and
despite the difficulties which may arise
as a result of this proposal, I believe that
on balance it deserves the support of the
Senate.
I am happy to join my colleague from
Wisconsin in urging that the Senate pass
the bill.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. BENNETT. I yield.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I thank the Senator
very much for an excellent speech. The
bill, in its present, practical, workable
form would not have been possible with-
out the kind of work the Senator from
Utah put into it. The Senator from
Utah brings to this kind of legislation a
very solid experience in business, a prac-
tical turn of mind, and both the diligence
and the willingness to work hard on de-
tails that are rare in any kind of activity.
His contributions have been essential.
Although we may have disagreed on
various aspects of the measure, we have
reached a compromise that I can en-
thusiastically support, as I think he does.
Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, I appre-
ciate what the Senator has said about
me.
I hope the Senate will pass the bill.

NOMINATION OF JUDGE HAYNS -
WORTH TO THE SUPREME COURT
Mr. MILLER. Last May 5, in my speech
to the Senate regarding the disclosure
that Mr. Justice Fortas had received a
$20,000 fee from a family foundation of
financier Louis Wolfson, recently sen-
tenced to prison for violating our se-
curities laws, I expressed the hope "that
any future nominations to the Supreme
Court and, for that matter, to any other
court, will be given far more thorough
scrutiny by both the administration and
the Senate Judiciary Committee than
was the case with the nomination of Mr.
Justice Fortas."
Although I deeply regret the discom-
fort and inconvenience caused Judge
Haynsworth by the fact that his nomina-
tion to the Supreme Court has been be-
fore the Senate since last August 18, I
nevertheless believe my words of last
May have been heeded and that it has
been in the public interest that they
were.
Until recently, the confidence of the
public in the Supreme Court had reached
what might be termed an all-time low.
In a Gallup poll published on July 10,
1968, only 36 percent of the public was
indicated as giving a favorable rating to
tille Court. With the resignation of Mr.
Justice Fortas and the appointment of
Judge Burger to be Chief Justice, this
confidence has begun to be restored. I be-
lieve I have a duty, as a Member of the
Senate, to do what I can, through the
confirming power of the Senate, to see to
it that public confidence in the Supreme
Court is fully restored. Unless it is, all of
our democratic institutions are threat-
ened.
As I said on July 26, 1968, during the
debate on the Fortas nomination:

Thi Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill IS. 8231 to enable consumers
to protect themselves against arbitrary,
erroneous, and malicious credit infor-
mation.
Mg. BENNETT. Mr. President, I ap-
preciate the courtesy of the Senate. and
of my colleague from Wisconsin (Mr.
PROXMIRE) in particular, in giving me
this opportunity to participate in the
presentation of the bill.
T am sorry I could not be on the floor
during my colleague's discussion of it,
but I am involved in a conference down-
stairs end I hope that what I shall say
will fit in with what has gone before,
because obviously I am in no position to
be sure
Mr President, I support this legisla-
tion, all hough I believe that the need for
it has been greatly exaggerated.
The committee members and repre-
senta; ives of both the reporting agencies
and the industries which they serve have
worked hard to reach agreement on re-
sponsible legislation which would protect
the legitimate interests of both consum-
ers and industry. I believe that those
representing the industries which will be
covered by this legislation should be
commended for their untiring efforts and
their willingness to view not only their
own interest but that of consumers
whom they ultimately serve.
Of course, I realize that there are some
segments of the industry which are dis-
appointed, which feel that it does not
adequately take care of their particular
and perhaps different needs. But, with
this bill, we are breaking new ground,
and I am sure if time reveals that we
have made mistakes, or we have over-
looked situations, the committee can
come track and remedy the deficiencies.
This bill covers all types of reports on
consumers, even though one might be
led to believe that it covers only credit
reports. In addition to credit reports, re-
ports are also made on individuals seek-
ing employment and individuals seeking
insurance. In fact, reports dealing with
insurance and employment are neces-
sarily more detailed in most instances
than those on individuals seeking credit.
Because of this additional detail, this
legislation is more onerous on reporting
agencies which arc engaged in this type
of activity.
Mr. President. I would like to point out
the fact that credit reporting agencies
have been established to serve not only
industry but also consumers. Without in-
formation on an individual, it is difficult
to make a decision as to whether he
should receive credit, what rate he should
pay for insurance if it is to be sold to
him at all, or whether he would fill the
needs of his employer. We should keep
in mind that retailers want to sell mer-
chandise, not refrain from selling it. Em-
ployers desire to fill their job require-
ments. They are not seeking to turn
down prospective employees. Insurance
companies desire to sell insurance. They
have no interest in turning down pro-
spective customers unless there are rea-
sons why they would not be good cus-
tomers. Decisions made by retailers, em-
ployers, and insurance companies can
only be as good as the information which
they have upon which it is based. It is
important, therefore, that we not enact
legislation which -would reduce the in-
formation which is legitimately required
in order to make these decisions, and
which information becomes available to
them through accurate and complete
reporting.
As this bill has been considered by our
committee, many changes have been
made in order that the flow of credit
information would not be unduly ham-
pered.
At this point, Mr. President, I should
like to pay personal tribute to the Sena-
tor from Wisconsin (Mr. PROXMIRE) who
has been the author and is the Senator
in charge of the bill.
He has been most patient with the
rest of us on the committee. He has been
very willing to accept our ideas for
changes in the bill. I like to think that
the bill is very much better because of
the way it has been handled in com-
mittee.
Despite our efforts, in our eagerness
to reach the enactment of legislation, we
may have made some mistakes which,
as I have just said, may later need to
be corrected. The major purposes of the
legislation, however, are important.
I believe that every consumer is en-
