August 3, 1973, any ,-.presentations or objections they may to present concerning the above :,ominations, with a further statement conceal cost overruns and other prob- leins on the LDD-963 program until it is :;uu late for Congress or the Navy to "et. GAO REPORT According to the report, the action by Congress last year when it declined to authorize more than 16 ships out of `.he planned 30-ship destroyer program wot'=ed "stress in. Litton" and tended to "freeze the announced cost estimates for the 30-ship program and the delivery ;schedule." The GAO report goes on to say : Ir reriances arise, Litton is likely not to eliselose them until after authorization or sometime in the future when the full pro- gram seems committed. Congress and the Navy have been put on notice that Litton may be planning r noverup of DD-?963 shipbuilding prob- Fcros in order to obtain approval for the l*_il')0-ship program. Once the Navy is committed to pur- chase 30 ships the likelihood of multi- ? union dollar bailouts to Litton will be nreatly enhanced. PROBLEDT ALREADY OCCURRING Although the Navy has taken some ateps to avoid cost overruns or schedule delays in the destroyer program, there are clear signs that, problems are already occurring. i:a?ri,truction of the destroyers is be- ginning to overlap with construction of the LHA in the Litton shipyard. GAO eunc:iudes- t"-;c believe some slippage in delivery of the destroyers must be anticipated and some cost Rrowth in this program probably can be expected. Congress and the Navy will have no but themselves to blame for yet an- . thcr procurement fiasco if we continue to dio., nothing until we are surprised with the inevitable announcement of a huge cost overrun on the new destroyer program. RF.CQIJE'S IN G,tIRTERLY AUDITS I am formally recommending to.Adm. Isaac C. Kidd, Chief of Naval Material, that the Navy initiate a series of quar- terly audits of the Litton shipyard to determine physical progress of the de- stroyer program in a reliable, timely, and systematic manner. I am also requesting that the Comp- troller General review the Navy quar- terly audits of the Litton shipyard and report its findings to Congress. Congress should assure itself that ade- quate progress is being made on the de- s:troyers already authorized before com- mitting itself to any additional ships. Tice full costs of the DD-963 program have already increased by $224 million from the original estimate of $2.58 bil- lion to a current estimate of $2.8 billion. t y'ZD.:411Cr 14 1.9 411011 1114C1141t,11 o appea a - S WORKERS SUP- ry nearing which may be scheduled.

Mr. President, the Com- munications Workers of America, a union PROXMIRE. Mr. Presiders';, the representing more than 550,00(1 working -"west GAO report on Litton's Navy men and women in the United States =shipbuilding programs contains an un- and Canada under the leadership of usual warning that Litton is likely to Joseph A. Beirne, has adopted a resolu- S 14913 tion of support for legislation to providE continued funding of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty and to establish a Board of International Broadcasting. The resolution was adopted at the an- nual convention of the Communications Workers of America in Miami Beach during the week of June 18. I bring it to the attention of my colleagues as an- other indication of a broad support in this Nation for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. The authorization bill, S. 1914, will. soon be on the floor after being approved by the Committee on Foreign Relations by a vote of 13 to 3. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the resolution of the Communications Workers of America be printed in the RECORD. There being no objection, the resolu- tion was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: RESOLUTION In the tense years immediately after World War II, the rebuilding of a devastated Eu- rope was underway. The United States or- ganized and let the effort in the western nations. At the same time, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics undertook both a physical and psychological rebuilding effort in eastern Europe. Thus, in the late 1940's, the "cold war" began. Communist propaganda spread throughout Europe-beyond the "Iron Cur- tain"--into western Europe, by radio and other means. To counter the Communist ideological thrusts, Radio Free Europe was founded in 1950, and Radio Liberty in 1953. Radio Free Europe's transmitters were beamed to send programs into Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hun- gary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Radio Liberty programs were prepared and transmitted in 10 languages in use in the USSR. Each of these radio services was established as a "surrogate free press" for the six eastern European nations, to offer those millions of people facts about the real world. From their beginning days, the Central Intelligence Agency gave financial support to Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, because the pri- vate contributions were not enough to pay for the stations' services. In 1971, because the CIA funding support was loudly criticized all over the world, the Department of State be- gan supplying the funds, but on a "stop- gap" basis. In 1972, the Presidential Study Commission on International Radio Broad- casting, headed by Dr. Milton Eisenhower, was directed by President Nixon to learn hether Radio Free Europe and Radio Lib- nrtty still are needed, in light of the gradual reduction in international tensions of recent years. and then to recommend how to ensure that Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty could continue to exist without their being propaganda outlets. The Eisenhower Commission made its re- port in February 1973, recommending that Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty con- tinue, but under an entirely new structure and financing arrangement. The Commis- sion recommended that Congress establish the "Board for International Broadcasting," with these important duties: "To accept government appropriated funds and private contributions. "To guarantee sufficient funds to accom- plish the main job-informing the people of .stern Europe of current affairs. "To serve as the "buffer" between govern- ment; and the stations, in order that they may remain private, non-government cor- porations exercising independent judgment _r_ programming. The Board would be com- posed. of five eminent citizens chosen by the President and the chief executives of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, serving ex officio.

RECORD - SEN physically suitable for plywood, lumber, or fiberwood. The analyst's study did not in- clude estimates of what portions of the total volume were suitable for each of these prod- ucts or how much could have been econom- ically marketed by the purchasers. Forest Service reports published both be- fore and after the research study indicated, however, that substantial volumes of such wood were of the size normally suitable for lumber and plywood, for which there is a strong demand. For example: A 1965 Forest Service report on U.S. tim- ber trends stated that nearly 400 million cubic feet of logging residues, including 1.5 billion board feet of wood included in the sawtimber (timber suitable for making lum- ber and plywood) inventory, had been left behind annually on Federal, State, and pri- vate logged-over areas on the Pacific coast. A 1972 Forest Service report on forest statistics for the United States showed that about 525 million cubic feet of logging resi- dues, including about 1.6 billion board feet of wood included in the sawtimber inven- tory, was left on Federal, State, and private logged-over areas on the Pacific coast dur- ing 1970. The above reports did not state why the timber purchasers did not removed the felled wood. The research report stated, however, that, as economic and technological changes occur, felled wood being left in sale areas may represent a substantial base for in- creases in paper and board production with no additional drain on the timber resource. peared in the summer edition of Dixie Business entitled "It Seems to Me" by dential Campaign Activities, Senator TALMADGE has ably demonstrated his in the U.S. Senate, is serving his State and his Nation with honor and dignity. of the Joint Economic shown the good sense t would buy now an7 thoughtless actionsecou tion to economic He has worke ong 1: nation's leader that w tention to t needs our cities ar to surviv not gone noticed sa esearch and hours of warded in this area legislat' n decad Ev now, as the lea( s seeks out its bes Stat e leadership whic of i H se itself, the Chab t to sit in judgement h occupies the White does so now, with dignity and courage be- fitting such a call to service. Senator Herman E. Talmadge is a great Georgian, an outstanding American. He Is Presidential Timber of the highest sort. Those of us who know him best, perhaps appre- ciate his greatness least. Let's begin now, to sound the call. States Senator from the Statelof Georgia, is my candidate as the next pesident of the Forest Service officials in the Intermoun- tain Region told us that the volume of felled wood left in Forest Service sale areas in that region-which includes national forests in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada-was sig- nificant, but that no studies for determining that region's overall volume had been made. One Forest Service research study showed that felled wood left in a typical lodgepole pine sale area in Wyoming would amount to about 3,600 cubic feet per acre. Regional officials told us that nearly all of the felled wood left in Forest Service sale areas in that region was physically suitable for fiberwood products and that some was suitable for lumber. Information obtained from a Forest Serv- ice research official in the Forest Service's Northern Region-which includes national forests in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington-indi- cated that large volumes of felled wood had been left in sale areas in that region. For- est Service researchers had surveyed several sale areas in two national forests in western Montana and estimated that an average of th 100 tons of felled wood per acre n names have been promiantly mentioned for that high office. There/is no doubt in my mind but that the ~enior Senator from Georgia is as knowlecJ,eable and understand- ing of that which ?'onstitutes the best in- terests of the peop}fe of the United States as does any other fiFStiire in public office in our country today. He stands as/an equal to men like Hum- phrey of Min sota, Jackson of Washington State, Walle of Alabama, Connally of Texas, Goldwater of Arizona, Church of Idaho, Per?'y of Illinois, Bayh of Indiana, Kennedy if Massachusetts, Muskie of Maine, and the host of other contenders. Then "is no doubt but that Governor Wal- lace h opened the door of the White House to ottstanding southern leaders who find therriselves capable and qualified to seek the office of the Presidency.

My heart goes out to the families of those lost, and I am sure that I express the sympathy of all Members of this body on the sudden loss of those loved ones. Moments after the tragic crash, the city of Boston Police Department and Fire Department had taken action to provide emergency assistance. Massa- chusetts General Hospital and the Bos- ton City Hospital immediately responded to provide crucial service. All of the men and women who worked so efficiently and quickly are to be commended for their efforts. Mr. Alexander Butterfield, the Admin- istrator of the Federal Aviation Adminis- tration has informed me that Isabel A. Burgess of the National Transportation Safety Board has already arrived on the scene to investigate the cause of the crash. Once again, let me express the heart- felt sympathy of the Members of the Senate to the families of those who died this morning, and let them know that our prayers are with them. .INTERNATIONAL SPACE HALL OF FAME Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, today I would like to go on record by saying that the city of Alamogordo, N. Mex., has announced that they will establish an international Space Hall of Fame, with an appropriate shrine to be sup- ported by the historical foundation of the city. A charter for this Interna- tional Space Hall of Fame was pro- claimed by resolution of the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce and City Com- mission. Following this, the Governor of the State of New Mexico issued an of- ficial proclamation designating Alamo- gordo as the site for an International Space Hall of Fame.

MIT,TON EISENHOWER IS RIGHT-- __, RADIO FREE EUROPE AND RADIO 1:BERTY SHOULD CONTINUE or, :F{RIJSKA. Mr. President, I wish address a few words on the subiect of -ontinued funding for Radio Free Europe ,~. id Radio Liberty. In August of 1972, 1 ' -nnie ent Nixon established Study c'-,mmission on International Radio. The i:`csrnniission. after thorough study, sub- r_i.tted its report this year. Its findings _: ,-ak loud and clear for the continuation i Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, lie Commission also recommended the i;reation by congressional action of a l i >ard for International Broadcasting to receive appropriated funds for allocation to Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. Despite the Commission's findings, there have been arguments that Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty are no longer needed. These arguments point to the bettering of relations between the Soviet Union and the United States and seek to end the operations of the radios on the grounds that they are "throw- backs" to the cold war era. Naturally. all of us are -oleased with the recent events that have occurred in United States-Soviet relations. Insofar as they lead to peace, they are good. President Nixon's trip to the Soviet Union in May of 1972 and the recent June visit of Leonid Brez.hnev to the United States are evidences of that progress. But such arguments which link the improved :relations between the United States and the Soviet Union to the dis- continuance of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty miss the basic thrust of the Commission's Report on Interna- tional Radio. The thrust of the report is that the very progress that has been made in United States-Soviet relations does not diminish the need for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, In fact, progress toward detente: increases the value of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. Observing that "it is unfortunate that the spirit of detente has not filtered into Soviet internal policies for their peoples and for the citizens of Eastern Europe." the Commission report; goes on to state that: Ti would be a mistake for us to assume that Detente will. bring an end to tight in- terrial security of the Soviet Union and East- ern Europe. Soviet security leaders fear the dissemination of the free rlow of news. So lung as they continue to do so there is an .=iirarent need for Radio Free Europe and RArito Liberty. Recent reports do not indicate that in- tei nal security in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union has been reduced to any significant degree. The free flow of news and ideas has yet to become a real- ity in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe. Soviet citizens are perhaps the uivst isolated of all peoples on this earth when it comes to the free flow of infor- niation. A Western newspaper in the So- viet Union is a rarity. Even Commuru t newspapers from the West are screened and censored if they are critical of par- iu ilar developments in the Soviet Union Eastern Europe. Were it not for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, the peoples of the Soviet union and Eastern Europe would receive oily the news that their governments choose to give them. The Commission re- rnrt states : Whether we lake it or not, we must recd:- -rive that detente in relations with the OLe- side world is for the communist governments by no means congruent with relaxation -f restrictions, censorship, and all other inhi- bitions which impede the right of their own people to be infcrined. Nor has detente reduced the amount of Soviet shortwave broadcasting. In fact, quite the contrary seems to be oc- curring. Two Soviet stations-Radio Moscow and Radio Peace and Progress-- maintain the largest foreign radio serv- ice in the world. During the period from 1962 to 1972 Soviet shortwave broadcast- frig increased from 1,000 program hours a week to nearly 1,900 program hours a week. Soviet and Eastern European broadcasts directed at North America and Western Europe now total about 1,350 program hours a week. There is a great need on our part to insure that the peoples of Eastern Eu- rope and the Soviet Union continue to receive much needed news and informa- tion. The particular advantage that Ra- dio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have is that they are not considered by the people who listen to them to be official government radios. Broadcasting in the languages of East- ern Europe and the Soviet Union, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty devote major attention to Soviet and East Eu- ropean domestic affairs. They fill in news that the government chooses to leave out. A people who are informed can never be totally controlled. Immeasurably, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have fos- tered detente by giving the peoples of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe infor- mation. Hopefully, an informed citizenry in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe can provide the pressure needed to make East-West detente a workable reality. As we know, detente is a two-way street. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union continues to reject the premise of the free flow of information. As long as this is the case, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have a job to fulfill by providing information to the peoples o; the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. f BEEF SUPPLY CRISIS Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, it has been nearly 2 weeks since the President announced his phase IV program of eco- nomic controls. At the time of his an- nouncement, I commended the President for his efforts to bring this inflation under control and get our economy back to its rightful operation under the laws of supply and demand. At the same time, I recognized the dif- ficulties the administration faced in choosing the right combination of con- trols for phase IV. I expressed disap- pointment that the administration chose to retain the price ceilings on beef. It is unrealistic to have a national policy that singles one product out as being infla- tionary. Although there is definite relief in sight with the announced end of con- trols in September, I am vitally con- cerned with the effect this singling out will have on all phases of the beef industry. Mr. President, in the last 2 weeks it has become abundantly clear that my con- cerns have proven correct-the beef in- du_istry is in turmoil. I rise today to re- spectfully urge the President to recon- sider his phase IV policy with regard to the price ceiling on beef. Renorts to my office in the past week have been grim. Shortages in the sup- ply of beef will surely re.;ult if the freeze is continued. The beef packing industry Approved For Release 2005/04/27 : CIA-RDP75B0038OR000400020011-8 September 17, 1A)pproved F gggi /QJJ2l]G .DP W R000400020011-8 S 16671 Mr. President, I have been dismayed to learn, that a high American official, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Com- merce for East-West trade, recently sent an intermediary to meet with a group of Russian Jews-brave men who have been waging an heroic struggle for the right to emigrate freely-to advise them to lob- by American citizens against my amend- ment to the trade bill that would make trade concessions to the Soviet Union contingent on free emigration. But what is perhaps most shameful is the indica- tion, in a statement by 12 Jewish scien- tists in Moscow, that this American offi- cial warned that the Soviet Government would "wreak vengeance" on its Jewish citizens and that "no one would be able to come to [their] aid" if the Jackson amendment were to be approved by the Congress. In contrast to the ugly spectacle of a high administration official conveying a Soviet warning of reprisals, there is this response from the brave Jews of the So- viet Union: Apprehension for our future fate must not become a ... pretext to abandon the fight for our human rights. And, of course, as Sakharov well un- derstands, the Jackson amendment and the struggle for free emigration extend to citizens in the Soviet Union, Jews and non-Jews alike, who, in Sakharov's words : Want to leave the country and who have been seeking to exercise that right for years and for decades at the cost of endless diffi- culty and humiliation. Mr. President, Andrei Sakharov, in his open letter to us, has courageously and eloquently urged that the Congress agree to my amendment to the trade bill and to its companion measure, the Mills- Vanik provision in the House. It is ironic that Sakharov's forceful argument should come to us at a moment when the trade bill is before the House Com- mittee on Ways and Means and when there is a move underway-which I am certain will not succeed-to kill the Mills-Vanik measure by a hastily drafted administration-backed Corman-Pettis alternative that would disappoint the hopes of thousands of people to whom we are trying to help bring just a little bit of freedom. I am confident that the House of Representatives, and the 18 co- sponsors of the Mills-Vanik amendment on the Ways and Means Committee, will reject this or any such maneuver and keep their promise to those innocent men and women who desire only to emigrate to the free world. Withholding most-favored-nation treatment and subsidized credits from nonmarket countries until they imple- ment the right to emigrate is the most effective action the Congress can take in the area of human rights. The Mills- Vanik amendment in the House and the Jackson amendment in the Senate do just that. As a nation of immigrants, we can do no less. Mr. President, Andrei Sakharov, by speaking out at this moment when both he himself and the movement for human ,rights in the Soviet Union are gravely threatened by the full power of the So- viet state, has challenged each of us to higher levels of conscience and responsi- bility. Let me conclude with his words- and with my affirmation that we shall meet our responsibilities before history: The abandonment of a policy of principle would be a betrayal of the thousands of Jews and non-Jews who want to emigrate, of the hundreds in camps and mental hospitals, of the victims of the Berlin Wall. Such a denial would lead to stronger re- pressions on ideological grounds. It would be tantamount to total capitulation of demo- cratic principles in face of blackmail, deceit and violence. The consequences of such 'a capitulation for international confidence, detente and the entire future of mankind are difficult to predict. I express the hope that the Congress of the United States, reflecting the will and the traditional love of freedom of the Amer- ican people, will realize its historical respon- sibility before mankind and will find the strength to rise above temporary partisan considerations of commercialism and pres- tige. I hope that the Congress will support the Jackson Amendment. STATE, JUSTICE, AND COMMERCE, THE JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS, 1974 The Senate continued with the con- sideration of the bill (H.R.?8916) mak- ing appropriations for the Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, the Judiciary and related agencies for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, and for other purposes. Mr. MONDALE. Mr. President, I send to the desk an amendment and ask unanimous consent that its reading be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered, and reading of the amendment will be dispensed with. It will be printed in the RECORD at this point. The text of the amendment is as fol- lows: On page 14, between lines 3 and 4, insert the following new section: SEC. 105. (a) The Senate finds that- (1) physicist Andrei Sakharov, novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn, historian Pyotr Yakir, economist Viktor Krasin, and other citizens of the Soviet Union have demon- strated enormous courage and intellectual honesty in advocating and defending the importance of fundamental civil and political liberty, the necessity for the free and unre- pressed dissemination of ideas, and the meaning of basic human decency although faced with increasing harassment and im- minent danger of criminal sanction: (2) the intensive and thorough campaign of the Soviet Government to intimidate and deter those who have spoken out against re- pression of political and intellectual dissent profoundly offends the conscience of a free people; and (3) recent incidents of Soviet Government- sanctioned anti-Semitism violate interna- tionally agreed-upon principles of human rights, including free emigration and free expression of ideas. (b) It Is, therefore, the sense of the Sen- ate that the President should take immedi- ate and determined steps to- (1) impress upon the Soviet Government the grave concern of the American people with the intimidation of those within the Soviet Union who do not adhere to prevailing ideology; (2) call upon the Soviet Government to permit the free expression of ideas and free emigration by all its citizens in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and (3) use the medium of current negotia- tions with the Soviet Union as well as in- formal contacts with Soviet officials in an effort to secure an end to repression of dissent. Mr. MONDALE. Mr. President, this is a sense of the Senate resolution in the form of an amendment, and follows the comments of the distinguished Senator from Washington (Mr. JACKSON) con- cerning the outrageous and repressive treatment by the Soviet Government of many distinguished critics in the Soviet Union, led by such great world citizens as Mr. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel laureate, and Dr. Sakharov, the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, and many other men of letters and science, as well as literally millions of minorities and others in the Soviet Union who have been intimidated and repressed, as the Sen- ator from Washington (Mr. JACKSON) so clearly and eloquently , just described earlier. Mr. President, I was offended, as- tounded, and shocked the other day when, following a most moving resolution by the National Academy of Sciences, under the direction of Dr. Handler, con- demning the harassment and detention of Sakharov and the other repressive acts to which we have made reference, our own Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Mr. Weinberger, upon his return from a tour of health facilities in the Soviet Union-I wish he would visit some of our own-incredibly criticized the National Academy of Sciences for taking this position on behalf of hu- manity and condemned it as being con- trary to the policy of the United States. Mr. President, on many occasions our country has made clear its support of article 5 of the United Nations, which calls for an international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination-which, incidentally, was ratified by the Soviet Union in 1969- and article 19, the so-called Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interfer- ence and to seek, receive and impart in- formation and ideas through any media and regardless of subject. It is not only these articles, but also such things as the recent public humili- ation of Mr. Yakir and Mr. Krasin, who, in an appearance that was remindful of the sham trials described by Arthur Koestler in "Darkness at Noon," were forced to appear in front of western journalists and-plead guilty to phony charges which had been placed against them by the Soviet Government. These practices, it seems to me, re- quire at least an expression of outrage by the Senate and some of the other steps to which Senator JACKSON and others have made reference. That is what this sense of the Senate resolution is designed to do, and I hope the distin- guished floor manager will accept it. Mr. President, I ask unanimous con- sent that the name of the Senator from Approved For Release 2005/04/27 : CIA-RDP75B0038OR000400020011-8 Approved For RV &fiff J, Cfq- L5B0fi 040002Oe1fflmbey 17, 1973 Massachusetts (Mr. KENNEDY) be added o, a cosponsor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without rbjection, it is so ordered. Mr. PASTORE. Mr. President, there is relevancy between this amendment :,.r d the State Department, although it ~1.S not binding. It is merely a sense of the enate resolution. We all feel as strongly :bout this as does the Senator from YAjnnesota, and I do not think: anybody n. the Chamber is opposed to it-at least, so far as I know. I am going to accept it. Mr. HRUSKA. I have no objection. Mr. PASTORE. I yield back the re- rnainder of my time- Mr. MONDALE. I wish to make one ;,Modification, so that the amendment will read "section 106." It is a technical ,+hange. ( yield back the remainder of my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amend- 'inent of the Senator from Minnesota, as modified. The amendment. as modified, was x? reed to. Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President? I ,;end an amendment to the desk and ask that it be stated. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The meudment will be stated. The assistant legislative clerk read as Follows: On page 47. line 24. strike out "$40,000; 1)110" and insert in lieu thereof "$?65,834,000". Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, the ,,,:niendment merely adds $5 million to i.he Radio Free Europe appropriation. i his still would be below the authoriza- Uon. It would make the sum o;P $45,934,- 000 Instead of $40 million. Mr_ PASTORE. Mr. President, will the senator yield? Mr. HUMPHREY, I yield. Mr: PASTORE. The House cut the es- ale by $5 million. We cut it further million. I understand that this ,.mendment brings it back to the House figure. Mr. HUMPHREY. That is correct. Mr. PASTORE. If that is the case, I. rir i_)erfectiy willing to accept it. if the 'enator from Nebraska is. Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, the suggestion is agreeable to this Senator. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is all fife yielded back? Mr. HUMPHREY. I yield back the re- mainder of my time. Mr. PASTORE. I yield back the re- c:minder of my time. the PRESIDING OFFICER. The ulestion is on agreeing to the amend- of the Senator from Minnesota. The amendment was agreed to. r1r. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I ic unanimous consent that the names the following Senators be added as rosponsors of the amendment: Mr. st2ATHIAS, Mr. PERCY, Mr. McGEE, Mr. i , DICOFF, Mr. SCHWEU ER, Mr. Coox, Mr. I uCKLEY, and Mr. BROCK. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill is open to further amendment. It there be no further amendment to be proposed, the question is on the engross- ment of the amendments and the third reading of the! bill. The amendments were ordered to be engrossed and the bill to be read a third time. The bill was read the third time. Mr. PASTO:RE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Secretary of the Senate be authorized, in the engross- ment of the Senate amendments to H.R. 8916, to correct any technical or clerical errors. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. HATHAWAY. Mr. President, I shall be brief but I do wish to express my concern at the continuing low level of support we are giving to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Jus- tice. I am aware that our distinguished committee did see fit to raise the Divi- sion's appropriation from $13 million in the budget request to $14 million, and I commend the committee on this action. Unfortunately? however, this is not enough. I am becoming more and more con- vinced, as our economic troubles pile up, that a renewed emphasis on antitrust- both new legislation and enforcement- is critical if the traditional American economic system is to survive. Since 1950, our GNP has grown from $285 billion to well over a trillion dollars, an increase in the "size" of the economy of 312 per- cent. During this same period, the pro- fessional staff of the Antitrust Division grew from 314 to 354, an increase of only 12 percent. Meanwhile, the country's 200 largest industrial corporations increased their share of manufacturing assets from 4Gi to 66 percent, the bulk of the increase attributable to mergers, not internal cor- porate growth. Those 354 staffers at the Justice Department, plus a somewhat suialler contingent at the Federal Trade Commission, are being asked to police the activities of 1.5 million corporations, 245 of which have assets of more than e. billion dollaxs and more than 85,000 of which have assets of over a million dollars. I submit that in a free enterprise econ- omy, where the basic decisions on re- source allocation, prices, and production are supposedly made by the market mechanism through the force of compe- tition, this paltry amount to keep com- petition alive is scandalous. As the Nader report on antitrust enforcement pointed out, this amount represents one-twenti- e,h of Procter & Gamble's advertising budget, one-tenth of the cost of a C-5A transport plane, and one-fifth of the appropriation of the Bureau of Commer- eml Fisheries. To put it in another per- spective, it has been estimated that IBM will spend in the neighborhood of $20 million in defense of the antitrust enarges presently pending against it- an amount equal to the total antitrust enforcement expenditures of the entire U.S. Government. Still another way to assess this prob- lem is to consider that we spend over $30 billion a year-local, State, and Fed- eral-on the prevention of ordinary "street crime" while the threat of "busi- ness crime" merits only a few million dollars. And lest anyone think that busi- ness crime Is not significant, I would point out that the electrical conspiracy of 1961 stole more from the consumers that year than the total of all the con- ventional robberies in the Nation that year. I could go on and on with examples to dramatize the inadequacy of our anti- trust effort; suffice it to say that if we are serious about preserving competition, we are going to have to start paying some attention to-and spending some money on-antitrust. I realize that even if we give them an extra $1 million the administration is not likely to spend it. This is not like other types of appropriations. One of the reasons we do not have better enforce- ment of our antitrust laws is that the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice is grossly understaffed. About 80 percent of the cases coming before the Antitrust Division are settled: they do not have the manpower to take them all to court. Many large corporations in this country spend more money defending themselves in antitrust cases than we are spending in the Antitrust Division. If we are going to restore competition in our society which will go a long way toward bringing down higher prices that we are suffering today we should beef up the Antitrust Division. Mr. PASTORE. Mr. President, I assure my distinguished colleague from Maine that the committee gave very serious consideration to this matter of anti- trust. The request was made that we in- crease the amount over and above the budget estimate by $3 million. We talked on that matter hard and long for a long time and we finally decided to make it $1 million. I think it will be sufficient. It will allow them to engage 56 addi- tional employees on a 9-month basis during this fiscal year. By the time this gets to the President, it will be the end of September or Octo- ber before it is signed. Practically one- half of the fiscal year has passed. Let us give it a trial with the $1 million addi- tional. I do not know how we are going to make out in the House, but we will do the best we can. Mr. HATHAWAY. I thank the Senator from Rhode Island. Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, I wish to call attention to some budget addi- tions made by our committee that I be- lieve to be wise investments. They are all ocean or coastal related items, and are of great interest in my State of Oregon. The important aspect of this also can be seen when we see that even with these budget additions of $14.9 million, our overall bill as we sent it to the floor is some $52 million under the adminis- tration budget request. I think we have beefed-up programs with obvious bene- fits, while cutting needless expenses else- where in the budget. The Oregon pro- grains that will be increased all are people-centered ones I support strongly. I refer specifically to the budget ad- ditions of $1 million for the sea-grant college program, $348,000 for the moni- toring of foreign fishing activities off our Approved For Release 2005/04/27 : CIA-RDP75B0038OR000400020011-8 Approved For Release 2005/04/27 : CIA-RDP75B0038OR000400020011-8 December 22, 1973 CONGRESSIONAL cent; requires that the country receiving as- sistance provide at least 25 percent of the total costs of the project or program, which may be on an "in kind" basis, if necessary; repeals section 203 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, thereby eliminating the loan re- payment revolving fund administered by the Agency for International Development, from which loan repayment dollar receipts were used to make furtherdevelopment loans, and making all such loans subject to the regular authorization and appropriation process of the Congress; cuts off all funds for the con- tinued involvement of U.S. military forces in hostilities in Indochina by prohibiting the use of funds under this or any other law for military or paramilitary operations by the U.S. in or over Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia, thus requiring specific Congressional action to authorize and fund any renewal of Amer- ican involvement in war in these countries; prohibits U.S. funding or support for any military or paramilitary activities by third country military personnel in Laos, Cam- bodia, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, or Thailand, unless specifically authorized by net of Congress enacted after this bill be- comes law; contains a sense of the Congress resolution that the United States should not furnish aid to South Vietnam or any other party to the Vietnam cease-fire agreement if that party does not comply with the agree- ment; and contains other provisions.
