ginning to reach the people, and cloture

in an overwhelmine; proportion of in-

I am prepared in this instance to vote for

ail. bring this issue before the Senate, or
foil. It is intolerable to have this kind
of dilatory practice and procedure pre-
venting the consideration of measures
vital to the interest of the Nation. The
President has said that it is important
to the national interest that these meas-
ures be considered.
I expect to support the motion for
cloture. I believe it will carry. However,
11 it should not carry, I shall join in the
suggestion of the chairman of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations to have eve-
ning meetings of his committee. He has
already had certain members of his com-
mittee say that they would help by
pledging that they would be present. I
pledge that I will be present.
Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. President, I be-
lieve all Members of the Senate should
fuel somewhat distressed over the fact
that a request of the chairman of the
i'orcign Relations Committee, to hold
hearings on subjects the administration
considers to be vital and urgent, should
be denied by the Senate itself.
11 any committee should be given spe-
cial permission to meet, it is the Foreign
Relations Committee, because that com-
mittee, above all other committees, in-
cluding the Armed Services Committee
anc, the Appropriations Committee, is
the instrument of the Senate in meeting
the unique constitutional responsibility
wh.ch the Senate has.
The duty of making appropriations is
certainly shared with the House, unless
the House believes it has a particular
priority with respect to a certain matter.
Yet permission is given to the Committee
on Appropriations to meet while the Sen-
ate is in session.
The Armed Services Committee shares
he responsibility with the Armed Serv-
icess Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the subjects that are con-
sidered by it. Both the Senate and House
have responsibility in that field.
I at, under the Constitution and the
traditions of this country, the Senate has
a special and prior responsibility in the
field of foreign relations and foreign pol-
icy. I regret to hear denied by this body
t, ie request of the chairman of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations to sit while
the Senate is in session, when other com-
mittees are permitted to sit. I believe
that every Senator should give thought
to the function of the Senate in this
lirld and to the special responsibility
which the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions carries. Perhaps, in the future, we
should obtain unanimous consent, or
r:henge the rules, in order to allow this
committee to meet. The Committee on
Foreign. Relations should be a primary
committee of the Senate, because it has a
unique responsibility and should. be given
special treatment instead of being denied
the opportunity to meet, as is being given
to other committees of the Senate.
Mr.:HRUSKA. Mr. President---?-
'I'he PRESIDING OFFICER:. The
Senator from Nebraska.
Mr. 1IRUSKA. The question has been
raised repeatedly today as to wkly com-
mittees are prevented from sitting to con-
sider vital measures. Some of these
measures are considered so important
that they merit special recommendations
by the President that they be given ex-
peditious treatment. Included in this
group and the authorization of $13 billion
supplemental for the Department of De-
fense in Vietnam, the foreign aid supple-
mental bill, treaties and various nom-
inations. It is being suggested that the
Senators who insist that the Senate fol-
low its rules bear a high responsibility
in that they are disrupting the orderly
legislative processes. I believe it is im-
perative that we put that situation in
proper focus.
What; is the Senate considering at the
present moment? It is engaged in con-
sidering a motion with respect to it meas-
ure which those in charge of the Sen-
ate's business have determined. to be of
top priority, No. 1. So long as it, is prior-
ity No. 1, the Senate should devote its
exclusive time and talents to this issue.
Any time the Senate grows tired of the
business of assigning first priority to the
issue of compulsory unionism, over such
important matters as the $13 billion in
supplemental appropriations for our
boys in Vietnam and the prosecution of
the war there, or the :foreign aid supple-
mental, or confirmation of various im-
portant; nominations, it should impress
those In charge of the order of business
in the Senate of these feelings. The
majority leadership alone has the power
to reassign priorities. Let those that are
assessing blame for disruption of the
orderly processes lay the Mamie at the
proper doorstep.
That. is what is involved here. It
seems to me that the burden does not
rest on those who say, "Let us give full
intent as to the designation of priority."
It is the business of Senators who are in
charge of the order of the Senate to say
that the issue of compulsory unionism,
of repeal of section 14(b), shall or shall
not have top priority. They bear the
burden. I believe that it is important
that we place the burden where it be-
longs. If other matters such as inter-
national, military, and national prob-
lems are more important, they should
say so. Then the Senate can begin dis-
cussion. and debate on these questions
and forsake the pending issue, which can
not compare in importance to interna-
tional :problems facing our Nation. Un-
fortunately the high priority given re-
peat of 14(b) appears to be based. on the
discharging of a political pledge, whether
made on the platform or otherwise, to
those who are interested in compulsory
unionism.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
time of the Senator from Nebraska has
expired.
Mr. BASS. Mr. President--
Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that I may proceed
for 1 additional minute.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. BASS. Mr. President, I should
like to state that this issue can be settled
in a matter of 2 hours. It would be very
simple. The Senate engaged in 3 or 4
weeks debate on it in the past year. We
have already had 8 to 10 days debate on
it this year. I can promise the Senate,
almost without equivocation, that a
majority of the Senate is ready to vote
on this issue.
I believe that we could almost get
unanimous consent--if the opponents
would not object-to a vote at 2 o'clock
this afternoon and settle this issue, and
it would all be over.
So, now, where does the shoe go? It
goes on the foot that is impeding prog-
ress, because the Senate is ready to vote.
A majority of the Senate is ready to vote
to get this issue out of the way. There-
fore, those who say that the Senate
should not work its will on an issue are
the ones who are holding up and imped-
ing the progress of the Senate in pre-
venting important committees from
meeting and performing their duties.
which are so important in the field of
international affairs.
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Nebraska yield?
Mr. HRUSKA. I yield.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time.
of the Senator from Nebraska has ex-
pired.
Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that I may proceed
for 2 additional minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, we do
not need 2 hours. We need only 30 sec-
onds to withdraw the motion. My good
friend the Senator from Tennessee
should look at the Gallup poll and--
Mr. BASS. If the Senator will yield,
let me say that Dr. Gallup does not vote
in the Senate.
Mr. DIRKSEN. It does not make any
difference. I am talking about the pub-
lic.
Mr. BASS. The public is represented
in this body by a majority of the Senate.
Let them vote.
Mr. LONG of Louisiana. Mr. Presi-
dent
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, I do
not propose to let any irreparable injury
be done to the citizens of this country in
a city such as Washington where the
political pressures are so well known.
We take our case to the country in this
fashion, and we propose to continue to
do so as long as we have stamina and
vitality enough to do it.
Mr. BASS. Mr. President--
Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, I should
like to suggest further to my good friend
the Senator from Tennessee that the
motion for cloture is still an available
tool, if the Senate wishes to take up this
issue. I do not believe that they will get
to it because a two-thirds vote is neces-
sary. But the motion for cloture is

North Vietnamese Communist Party co- I suggest also that it is only through
ordinates the whole operation, Chaffard
concludes. As the years pass and the
leaders of the NLF make less and less of
an effort to prove their disguise, it is
more and more openly a clearcut Com-
munist organization.
Mr. President, having suggested that
the National Liberation Front was cre-
ated by Hanoi and controlled by Hanoi, I
should like to make another suggestion.
At most, the National Liberation Front,
even if we allow the very best construc-
tion of what we know about it, is only
one of the smaller of many interest
groups within South Vietnam. Even
considered solely as a group within the
area south of the 17th parallel, it has no
standing that merits its being treated as
anything other than one of the smaller
of the interest groups in the region.
The Front commands a small seg-
ment of military forces and some politi-
cal cadres, but still it is a tiny percent-
age of the total in the areas under dis-
pute.
Thus, if the Front were to be accepted
as an independent negotiating partner,
it would be impossible on grounds of
political reality, as well as on grounds of
moral fairness and rightness, not to ac-
cept in like fashion a host of other and
larger groups. to be represented in such
a political negotiation, whatever it may
be.
Mr. President, I shall mention a few.
The Catholics are at once obvious as a
large group within South Vietnam, and
the Mahayana Buddhists as an even
larger group, particularly in some areas.
There are other segments of Buddhist
groups that have factionalized among
themselves and could make a far better
case for having a voice than the Front.
The northern refugees, nearly a million
strong, have a cause. The Southern
Regionalists may have a case, and the
Hoa Hoa, and the Cao Dai are minority
political groups, larger than the Na-
tional Liberation Front.
The South Vietnamese. Army, the
Vietnamese Civil Service, the labor
unions, the Montagnards, the National-
ist Political Party, and other splinter
political groups would each have as much
validity in claiming the right to be rec-
ognized and to have a voice in a confer-
ence as would the National Liberation
Front.
Whatever else we strive to do in our
own national interest and in the interest
of finding some common denominator
somewhere, somehow that might enable
us to find a less violent solution to the
strife in South Vietnam, it is important
that we not single out one of the more
obscure groups in numbers, one of the
more unrepresentative groups in South
Vietnam, a group that is clearly and pat-
ently identified as an instrumentality
and creature of Hanoi for special con-
sideration in any negotiations, fancied
or real.
At the very most that one could argue
for their case,. the members of the Na-
tional Liberation Front might. be entitled
Hanoi that America can accomplish its
central objective of finding a less violent
end to the aggression from the north
and of obtaining a removal of external
interference from the affairs of South
Vietnam.
We may leave it open to question as to
whether we believe that any member of
the National Liberation Front, or any
member of the Hanoi government, can
survive politically if he dares to nego-
tiate because of the thesis that these
men peddle among their party members
and in the ranks of the faithful. But,
be that as it may, I number myself
among those who say that our own
country should not be inhibited as it con-
tinually probes for any possible break-
through, as the President has striven to
do.
We must make doubly certain that in
the future, as we look backward on this
matter, the judgment of history can
never point a finger of accusation at the
United States and say that we did not
try, that we did not create every con-
ceivable chance.
However, in trying to create that
chance, it is also important that we be
realistic and that we not lose sight of the
reason why we are there, in the dreams
of what we would rather have happen it
we had our way.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President,. will
the Senator yield?
Mr. ERVIN. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the distin-
guished Senator from Wyoming may
yield to the Senator from Ohio for ques-
tions, statements, or observations under
the unanimous-consent agreement under
which I yielded to the Senator from
Wyoming.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. McGEE. I yield to the Senator
from Ohio.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President, I com-
mend the Senator for his thorough and
accurate discussion of the background of
the National Liberation Front in South
Vietnam.
I gather from his statement that he
is of the definite conclusion that the
purpose of all the discussions that have
come from Ho Chi Minh and the Com-
munists of the north has been to es-
tablish the National Liberation Front as
the duly constituted government of
South Vietnam. In substance, that is
what I gather. I should like to have the
Senator comment on that.
`Mr. McGEE. The evidence, both from
sources in our Government, and from in-
dependent sources on the National Com-
mission-which does not include Amer-
icans, but is made up of Canadians,
Polish, and an Indian-establishes that
same incontrovertible hard fact, that it
is an instrumentality of Hanoi, aimed at
imposing by force, or any other devious
means, a Communist government in
South Vietnam under the control of
Hanoi.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President, I am
in thorough accord with what the Sen-
ator has said. I have in my hand a paper
showing 14 points laid.down by the Pres-
ident of the United States as grounds for
the settlement of the controversy in
South Vietnam and North Vietnam.
Point No. 9 states:
We support free elections in South Viet-
nam to give the South Vietnamese a govern-
ment of their own choice.
It seems to me that, with that proposal
made by the President of the United
States, the South Vietnamese should be
given the opportunity to decide for them-
selves what type of government they
want.
It is necessary to look to North Viet-
nam to see what its position is on the
matter of open, free elections, to decide
what type of government shall be had.
In connection with this statement, I
call to the attention of the Senator what
the North Vietnamese have said pertain-
ing to open, free elections.
Mr. McGEE. The North Vietnamese,
under Ho Chi Minh, answered that ques-
tion unequivocally in 1956, when all of
the Geneva agreements broke down,
when the intent of the agreements was
torn to shreds, when we learned, through
Hanoi and Mr. Ho Chi Minh, that by
free elections they meant elections free
of any opposition party except the Com-
munist Party. One party rule: there
was one party, one truth, one set of po-
sitions, one group that should prevail.
That is the heart of his concept of free
elections.
Mr. LAUSCHE. I come down to the
date of April 13, 1965, as further forti-
fication for the statement just made by
the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. Mc-
GEE7. I read:
ToKyo, April 13.-Premier Pham Van Dong
of Communist North Vietnam has laid down
a four-point program for peace that calls
for the exclusion of all foreign interference
in both the North and South.
I shall read point 3 and point 4.
Mr. McGEE. These are statements
from Hanoi?
Mr. LAUSCHE. From Hanoi.
Mr. McGEE. The Premier of North
Vietnam.
Mr. LAUSCHE. And we can assume
that the statements were authorized by
Ho Chi Minh.
These are the statements:
The internal affairs of South Vietnam must
be settled by the South Vietnamese people
themselves-
So far, well enough. I continue-
in accordance with the program of the
South Vietnam National Front for Lib-
eration (Vietcong), without any foreign
interference.
I ask the Senator if that does not
mean that there must be a surrender to
the South Vietnam National Front for
Liberation before there can be what are
supposed to be open free elections.
Mr. McGEE.. Indeed, that is obvious
and conspicous in the statement of the
Premier of North Vietnam. They are
using their own front and party that
they invented, they created, they lead,
and they control, which serves their pur-
pose; and only if the people of South
Vietnam accept the mandate of the Na-

of power politics that Communists have
pursued since the end of World War II.
The role of the Communist Party in
using, implementing, and engulfing the
National Liberation Front is, it seems to
me, beyond question. It is a role that
has been identified in detail by the In-
ternational Commission that the Geneva
agreements of 1954 established in the
hope that somehow a resolution of the
impasse between the two Vietnams
might be arrived at.
In a circular dated December 8, 1961,
and available through the International
Control Commission, the groups involved
in the National Liberation Front were
instructed to realize that:
The Vietnamese People's Revolutionary
Party has only the appearance of being an
endemic group within, south Vietnam.
When we recognize it for what it is.
The directive goes on:
We need this group in our efforts to take
the south in the interests of the north.
However, during any explanations, you-
'Whoever the members of the party
may be-
must take care to keep this intent strictly
secret, especially in South Vietnam, so that
the enemy does not perceive our purpose.
This is only another way of saying
that the old front group operation was
being translated into an operational and
tactical plan. The National Liberation
Front, incidentally, has never claimed
that it was the government. It has never
asserted that it had status as a govern-
ment. It should be noted that the term
"provisional government" has yet to be
employed by the group in describing its
role.
Thus it is not political in the adminis-
trative sense, and never has been. Yet
there are those who refer to it recklessly
as though it were an existing repository
of power responsibility that ought to be
dignified as a subject of negotiation.
This, further, is a characteristic of the
National Liberation Front that helps us
to strip it bare, it seems to me, of its
outward manifestations and to show it
for what it really is at the heart of the
problem. The front is openly and clearly
a creature of the government in Hanoi.
It has operated repeatedly as Hanoi's
political instrument for the purpose of
taking over and imposing upon the south
a Communist government. The front it-
self has no resemblance to genuine na-
tionalist rebel organizations that have
operated in other countries at such times
as this. The fact that there may be
within its membership some genuine
South Vienamese nationalists who are
latecomers, who are looking for a place
to roost, in their sincere sense of protest
against the Diem regime, should not ob-
scure the central fact that the origin,
the leadership, and the purposes of this
front group remain as I have just de-
scribed them-to serve the ends of the
Communist government in Hanoi.
The nature of the National Liberation
Front has-been well summed up by neu-
tral observers, including George Chaf-
fard, of L'Express, who after visiting
National Liberation Front bands, and

many years the boll weevil will be just an
unhappy memory and that we can have
many monuments erected to It in healthy
and prosperous cotton-producing areas so
that future generations may know that there
once existed this very destructive pest. In
many areas production of poultry, livestock,
tobacco, and other crops have substituted,
in whole or in part, for cotton.
When the Agricultural Act of 1964 was
passed, it included a provision authorizing
a.special $10 million cost-cutting research

to know that while I have been extremely
critical of him in other matters and may

for his action in this particular matter.
The second matter in which the adminis-
tration's labor policy offers a grave threat to
agriculture is in the field of proposed en-
largements of the minimum wage laws.
Although hearings on minimum wage leg-
islation were held last year, no action was
taken in the Senate. A bill was reported out
of committee on this subject in the House
of Representatives, which would have im-
posed minimum wages on farmworkers. In
addition it would have eliminated most of
the agricultural processing and handling
exemptions. Apparently, the House leader-
ship decided that they did not have the
votes to pass the bill, so action was post-
poned until this session of congress.
It seems that some of our self-styled
friends of the laboring men are unwilling to
recognize. the inflationary impact and the
inevitable unemployment which would re-
sult from the imposition of a minimum wage
of $1.75 per hour in agricultural employment.
It is my earnest hope that a little more rea-
son and a little more commonsense will
prevail in this field of legislation during this
session of Congress.
A third matter having a serious impact on
agriculture, though it affects other employ-
ment even more greatly, is the most funda-
mental issue facing the Nation this year in
the field of labor. It is, of course, the effort
of the administration and of the labor hier-
archy to have Congress repeal section 14(b)
of the Taft-Hartley Act. This section au-

son's policy, the conclusion is inescapable
that the policy is to seek at the conference
table what we have been unable to obtain by
armed force-a South Vietnam controlled by
a Saigon military government which has no
popular base whatever. In a situation of
military stalemate, any political settlement
must be based on compromise reflecting the
military situation, which means that both
Communists and non-Communists must par-
ticipate in the peace and in the interim gov-
ernment responsible for keeping the peace
until free elections could be held. By re-
jecting this crucial principle the President
has in effect surrounded his offer of uncon-
ditional negotiations with an obviously un-
acceptable condition.
The case for renewed expansion of the
war is attributed in part to top secret mes-
sages from military commanders warning
that during the bombing pause Hanoi has
continued infiltration of troops and supplies
to the south. Yet, according to Secretary
McNamara, the Infiltration continued, at a
steadily increasing rate, throughout all the
11 months of air attack. If the bombing did
not stop it, there is no special significance in
the fact that the cessation of bombing did
not stop it. To make this an excuse for
resumed bombing is specious and deceptive.
The United States did not halt its own
buildup during the bombing pause-we
landed 7,000 troops only 10 days ago-and
so has no ground to demand that the North
Vietnamese should have halted theirs.
The President also can site an urgent dis-
patch from Ambassador Lodge alleging that
the bombing was really a great thing after
all-that if it did not halt the infiltration,
still it hurt the Communists' morale, to such
effect that a lot of them are getting beri-
beri. This looks like the same shabby self-
deception that has been pressed upon our
people at every stage of this dismal war.
At every stage, the people have been told
that the military effort which produced such
minimal results in retrospect was about to
score exciting victories in the future; and at
every succeeding stage the people have pain-
fully learned that the new promises did not
fulfill themselves any more than the old ones.
The reason is quite clear. The United
States occupies the position in Vietnam of
a foreign, white, Western, rich intervener
in a domestic revolution, and in such D. sit-
uation all our awesome military power is
simply Ineffective against the desire of the
Vietnamese people to run their own lives.
The illusion that by waging war in Viet-
nam we are saving the world from commu-
nism can best be dispelled by consulting
those we profess to be saving. The clear and
overwhelming counsel of the non-Commu-
nist nations that matter is for curtailment of
the war and a peaceful settlement. If the
United States now expands the war instead,
and so makes a peaceful settlement more
difficult if not impossible, we shall earn not
the world's gratitude, but moral isolation.
From the New York (N.Y.) Times, Feb. 1,
1966]
PEACE AND WAR
In a dramatic move timed immediately
to follow resumption of the bombing of
North Vietnam, President Johnson has asked
the Security Council of the United Nations
to intervene in the Vietnam conflict by call-
ing for an international conference and a
cease-fire. This is an important if long-
delayed gesture by the United States that
holds the possibility of opening the way to
peace and only emphasizes the sincerity of
President Johnson's desire to put an end to
the war in Vietnam.
It is unfortunate that the resumption of
the bombing of North Vietnam, was not de-
ferred at least until there was some evidence
of the success or failure of the American
move in the United Nations. In fact the
good effect of the appeal to the U.N. was in
part vitiated by the prior order to resume
the bombing. Continuation of the bombing
pause would have been a far more effective
complement to the U.N. resolution than the
renewed bombing attacks on North Viet-
namese targets, which will almost certainly
lead to further escalation of the war. More
men, more planes, more ships, more money,
more materiel, more wounded, more dead-
these are the unmentioned but probable se-
quels to the resumption of the bombing of
North Vietnam. The course the war took
during the previous bombing raids proved
that even if the attacks slowed down infiltra-
tion from North Vietnam, they did not pre-
vent it. North Vietnamese solders and ma-
teriel had been going south in quantity long
before the bombing pause.
There is no reason to believe that renewed
bombing can bring a different result. The
United States could bomb Hanoi and Hai-
phong and even destroy all of North Vietnam
.without wiping out the threat posed by
China. In fact, the danger of a ground war
with Communist China, and perhaps a nu-
clear world wart would thereby be brought
considerably closer.
President Johnson argued that "if con-
tinued immunity" were given to North Viet-
nam, "the cost in lives-Vietnamese, Ameri-
can, and allied-will be greatly increased."
But if 100,000 or even 500,000 more American
troops are sent to Vietnam, as is predicted,
many more lives are surely going to be lost.
What was a morass is becoming a bottomless
pit.
President Johnson said that "the end of
the pause does not mean the end of our
pursuit for peace." In this he Is, of course,
completely sincere.' The great conflict over
Vietnam that has arisen in the United States
is precisely over the meaning of "the pursuit
for peace." A number of respected and in-
formed Senators and Representatives; mili-
tary men like Generals Gavin and Ridgway;
academic specialists, teachers, and clerics;
and a great many friendly foreign statesmen
and commentators, all believed and said that
the bombing of North Vietnam ought not be
resumed. They all felt that peace had not
been given a full and fair chance. They all
fear the consequences of the United States
getting more and more deeply involved in
Vietnam.
So far as the bombing of North Vietnam
is concerned, the decision has now been
made. American troops in the field must
be supported; but so must American efforts-
inside the United Nations and outside it-
to reach an honorable settlement in order
to restore peace and self-determination in
Vietnam.

There being no objection, the resolu-

Whereas consumers today are particularly

THE IMPORTANCE OF HELPING DE-
VELOPING NATIONS TO IMPROVE
THEIR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS
Mr. TYDINGS. Mr. President, Presi-
dent Johnson sent to Congress today his
annual request for foreign aid authoriza-
tion. The President has emphasized the
importance of helping developing na-
tions to improve their educational
systems.
It is not surprising that education is,
almost without exception, the first major
goal of developing nations.
To millions of people in the less-
developed parts of the world, progress is
a schoolhouse.
For that reason, many countries are
asking for-afid getting-more help with
education than any other field of tech-
nical assistance. In fiscal 1965, one out
of every five AID-financed experts over-
seas was working in some aspect of edu-
cation.
Most of these technicians-four out of
every five-are staff members of Amer-
ican colleges and universities at work in
specialized training programs-training
doctors, nurses, public health officers,
farm experts, engineers, and public ad-
ministrators.
Coming the other way, to study in our
universities and colleges, are thousands
of foreign technicians and professionals
who return to their countries to take over
the supervision of public education in
multiple fields. Since point 4 began in
1949, the United States has financed the
training of 94,000 foreign specialists in
U.S. institutions, and 19,000 more in the
educational institutions of other coun-
tries.
In addition, the United States has
helped to finance national construction

THE RESUMPTION OF BOMBING
IN VIETNAM
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, yester-
day's decision by President Johnson to
resume the bombing of military targets
and supply lines in North Vietnam to the
same extent as before the pause-based
as it is on urgent military considera-
tions-deserves the support of the Amer-
ican people.
At the same time, I approve of the
President's determination to continue the
peace offensive on a high-priority basis,
by his new initiative in the United Na-
tions, based on Pope Paul's suggestions.
By the President's action, he is giving
the people of the United States and the
world every reason for confidence in the
determination of the United States to
act as a servant of freedom and justice.
I also believe that it is now more ur-
gent than ever that, Congress launch a
full-scale debate on Vietnam in order
to bring congressional and Presidential
policy into complete accord.
fNfI]RNATIONAL MONETARY
U F ?aRRI
L`.'ir. MUSKIE. Mr. President, for sev-
eral years, experts on international eco-
nonne problems have stressed the need
for monetary :reform.. Many of them de-
vised plans for such reform. But the
discussion stayed in the wings, a theo-
retical problem debated by specialists.
Last fall, monetary reform moved to
the center of the stage, as a result of the
bold initiatives undertaken by the Presi-
dent. Secretary of the Treasury Fowler
carried to all the European capitals the
President's plea to get things moving. As
a result, intensive work has begun to de-
velop agreement among the major in-
dustrial countries on international
monetary pclicy.
Later this year, we expect these nego-
tiations to move into a second stage
where other nations of the free world
will also be represented. Before long, the
world should be able to free its monetary
system from domination by th pace of
gold mining in South Africa, and the
willingness of the Russians to part with
their gold. As the President says, we can
look forward to "an agreement that will
make creation of new reserve assets a de-
liberate decision of the community of
nations to serve the economic welfare of
all."
Progress on this front is urgent. The
Council of Economic Advisers' report
shows how far world monetary reserves
are lagging behind world trade, and it
explains the threat to the growth of
trade that can arise unless funds for in-
ternational payments begin to grow more
rapidly.
The Council's report also describes a
promising road to new reserve creation
in a. two-pronged approach that creates
a brandnew reserve unit and simultane-
ously expands the important automatic
lines of credit at the International Mone-
tary Fund. Such a program will give
new life and new vigor to world trade
hand the world's economy. This is a com-
plicated technical area-many countries
and many views have to be heard. But
it is an issue that is. central to the eco-
nomic welfare of the whole world.
The administration deserves congratu-
lations for fulfilling so clearly America's
role of world leadership on this impor-
tant issue.
THE BOMBING:: BEFORE AND
AFTER
Mr. CHURCH. Mr. President, last
week I joined with 14 other Senators-
all Democrats-in a letter to the Presi-
dent, in which we expressed our collec-
tive judgment against the resumption of
the bombing of North Vietnam.
The President has now made his de-
cision to resume the bombing. He has
given his reasons, and the issue is set-
tled.
However, two editorials have come to
my attention that I think should be
made a part of this RECORD. The first,
appearing in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
on January 27, summed up the case
against a renewal of the bombings at
this time. It was written prior to the
announcement of the President's de-
cision. The second editorial appeared in
this morning's edition of the New York
Times. It is an appraisal after-the-Fact
which deserves thoughtful reflection.
I ask that both editorials may be pub-
:tished at this point in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the editorials
were ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
[From the St. Louis (Mo.) Post-Dispatch,
Jan. 27, 1966]
CLOSER TO A TRAGIC MISTAKE
By every sign, the psychological buildup
is underway for a resumption of the bombing
of North Vietnam and for another escalation
of the American military commitment. We
believe President Johnson will make a tragic
mistake if he adopts this course.
He will be doing what the responsible lead-
ers of Britain, France, Japan, and the United
Nations, among others, have explicitly urged
him not to do. He will be rejecting the
counsel of many of the wisest Senators in, his
own party, and defying the opinion of large
:numbers of his countrymen. Having pro-
jected himself before the world as a cham-
pion of peace in Vietnam, he will be creating
a situation that not only makes peace im-
probable, but greatly increases the risks of
Chinese intervention.
The President is said to believe that his
peace offensive has fully convinced all well-
disposed people around the world that only
Hanoi stands in the way of negotiations for
an honorable settlement. He should beware
of becoming the captive of his own propa-
ganda. Even those who accept the sincerity
of his desire for negotiations would not nec-
essarily agree that the way to obtain them is
to escalate the war once more. And it is im-
possible for the most favorably disposed
friends to ignore the :inconsistency between
his generally admirable 14 points and his re-
fusal, at the critical point, to make the one
concession most obviously necessary to bring
about negotiations.
The critical point is the role of the V ict-
cong, which controls two-thirds of South
Vietnam's territory, in both the peace talks
and the political future of South Vietnam.
So far as his own words go, Mr. Johnson has
adopted the ambiguous stance that the Viet-
cong might be represented in negotiations by
Hanoi, and that their views would be con-
sidered. But at the level of Secretary Husk
there is no ambiguity. Mr. Rusk repeatedly
states that any peace talks must exclude par-
ticipation by those who have been doing most
of the actual fighting, and that there is no
place for them in the olitical future of the
country.
Since Mr. Rusk would not hold the position
he does if he were not carrying out Mr. John-

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE February 1, 1966
concerned to request from the Congress
such appropriations as may be n ecessary
to comply with these standards. The act
requires future Federal construction,
building, or installation to be provided
with waste disposal facilities.
On January 25 of this year, the Sen-
ate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pol-
lution, under the able direction of the
Senator from Maine [Mr. MUSx1E], as
a result of hearings held in major cities
throughout the country, issued a report
calling for a national expenditure of $20
billion, including a $6 billion Federal
contribution over the next 6 years, to
control water pollution.
In his budget message, the President
proposed a program and funds to imple-
ment this important legislation enacted
by the Congress last session, in the fol-
lowing terms:
Increased urbanization and industrializa-
tion have resulted in a rapid buildup of pol-
lutants in the environment. Expenditures
to deal with these problems will increase by
$92 million to $331 million in 1967.
This increase will allow acceleration of
research on pollution and training of more
manpower to deal with pollution problems.
The attack on air and water pollution and
the solid waste problem will be intensified
under recently enacted legislation which also
established a Water Pollution Control Ad-
ministration.
A new program will be started in selected
river basins to demonstrate methods for a
broad attack on the water pollution prob-
lems of an entire basin. Water pollution
from existing Federal installations will be
reduced in accordance with the recent Ex-
ecutive Order No. 11258, and a similar
directive governing air pollution is planned.
Legislation will be proposed to (1) strength-
en water pollution enforcement authority,
including the registration of those responsi-
ble for discharging effluents into interstate
and navigable streams, and (2) expand re-
search, training, and control programs and
demonstrate new techniques for waste treat-
ment.
The trend in legislation seems to look
solely to the Federal Government to
solve this problem through increased
financial contributions. This will be
necessary, but we must remember that
the increase in pollution is caused by
more advanced agricultural and indus-
trial uses and if we are to come to grips
with this problem we must have the sup-
port of private industry. One way of
increasing the participation of private
industry is to give industry a financial
incentive to purchase and install facili-
ties for the abatement of water and air
pollution. It is only proper that where
industries purchase expensive equipment
and facilities to reduce pollution-which
facilities bring no financial return on
their investment but are devoted to the
greater public purpose and benefit-that
a portion of that cost should be borne
by the public.
In the January issue of the monthly
letter published by the Morgan Guaranty
Trust Co., of New York, there is an
interesting article on this subject en-
titled, "Progress and Pollution-Can The
Link Be Broken." In the body of that
article the question of private industry
purchasing equipment to control air and
water pollution receives the following
comment:
If businesses and communities are to be ex-
pected to install control equipment on. a mas-
sive scale to abate air and water pollution,
more thought will have to be given to meth-
ods of inducing them to make the necessary
investment. It needs to be frankly recog-
nized that there is little motive in most cases
for the individual business unit to assume
unusual costs in order to reduce or prevent
pollution, particularly if competitors aren't
doing so. Control equipment is nonproduc-
tive so far as yielding any marketable prod-
uct is concerned. In a competitive industry,
it may represent the marginal item of cost
that prices a company out of some market.
Recognizing this, a community eager to at-
tract new plants may be tempted to relax in
enforcing pollution regulations.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to have this article printed in the
RECORD at the conclusion of my remarks.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
(See exhibit 1.)
Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, despite
the fact that installation does not pro-
duce profits many segments of industry
with a sense of public. obligation are in-
vesting large sums of their own operat-
ing funds.
There is wide interest everywhere in
water conservation and water pollution
controls. The National Junior Chamber
of Commerce has made this subject a
major objective and it is important to
the whole Nation.
The bill we introduce today on behalf
of myself and the distinguished Senator
from West Virginia [Mr. RANDOLPH]
would amend the Internal Revenue Code
by increasing from 7 to 14 percent the
investment credit to those companies
that purchase equipment and facilities
abating, controlling, or eliminating air
and water pollution.
I should like to speak of the work of
the distinguished junior Senator from
Connecticut [Mr. RIDICOPPI who has
been in the forefront in proposing eco-
nomic incentives to private industry as
a method for the control and elimination
of pollution. The bill which we now
introduce was offered by him on the floor
of the Senate as an amendment to the
Revenue Act of 1964 and was cospon-
sored by some 25 Senators. The Senate
voted to accept the amendment. I re-
gret, however, that the amendment was
dropped in the ensuing conference with
the House. On April 1 of last year, Sen-
ator RIBICOFF introduced a bill, S. 1670,
which would encourage the abatement
of water and air pollution by permitting
companies to amortize for income tax
purposes the cost of this equipment over
a period of 36 months. As a start, I do
not believe it matters greatly which ap-
proach the Congress takes; that is,
whether the Congress increases the in-
vestment credit or provides for a faster
writeoff of equipment and facilities or
a combination of both.
I hope that these bills will be con-
sidered by the Finance Committee of the
Senate as well as the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, and that in
their studies and research they will com-
pare the merits of the two bills. I feel
strongly that Congress should give pri-
vate industry an incentive to carry out
this difficult, expensive, but altogether
necessary task of clearing up our streams
and :air. In the last analysis, many of
the problems are caused by the great
technological advances in our industrial
development. Unless we enlist the sup-
port of Industry in this battle, I do not
feel that the problem can be adequately
dealt with by Federal and State govern-
ments-and, indeed, municipal govern-
ments.
In conclusion, I should like to point
out with respect to the bill we introduce
today, that the Treasury has estimated
in 1964-at the time the amendment was
offered-that the loss of revenue for the
first year would be $25 million; the sec-
ond year $30 million, and over the long
run approximately $50 million annually.
This, of course, might be subject to some
change today, but I do not believe by
any substantial amount.
When we think of the huge amount of
funds the Federal Government is con-
tributing and the even greater amount of
funds it is urged to contribute, our bill
represents a modest start in aiding pri-
vate industry in this most important
field.
Mr. RANDOLPH. Mr. President, I
associate myself with the well-reasoned
remarks of the senior Senator from Ken-
tucky [Mr. COOPER] in support of the
legislation which he has introduced to
accelerate industrial investment in facil-
ities to control and abate environmental
pollution.
As ranking majority member of the
Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water
Pollution I have been actively involved
in recent legislative efforts to combat air
and water pollution. The 88th Congress
enacted the Clean Air Act, of which the
able junior Senator from Connecticut
[Mr. RIBICOFF] was the primary sponsor.
And last year, under the vigorous leader-
ship of the junior Senator from Maine
[Mr. MUSKIEI, the 89th Congress en-
acted the Federal Water Pollution Con-
trol Amendments of 1965.
It was my privilege to cosponsor both
these measures and to participate in the
hearings, the executive sessions, and the
drafting of the final legislation.
Throughout this process, it has been my
conviction, shared by other members of
the Senate Committee on Public Works
as well as many Members of this body,
that the protean tasks of combating and
eliminating environmental pollution
will not be accomplished without the
cooperation of private industry.
Many segments of business, especially
in recent months and years,- have evi-
denced a highly cooperative attitude in
this field and have given every indica-
tion of a desire to control air and water
pollution. However, the Federal Gov-
ernment has not yet applied all the in-
struments at our disposal to enlist in-
dustrial cooperation to the fullest ex-
tent. I speak with specific reference to
tax incentive legislation to promote
greater investments in pollution abate-
ment facilities.
The cost of abatement of industrial
pollution, Mr. President, is truly a stag-
gering one. Though we do not have re-
fined figures on the problem for all seg-
ments of Industry, informed persons tell
me that it will- be much greater than the

it; is this on which our decision rides.
It is this on which the course of the de-
bates in this body hinge. That is the
season why I have taken these few min-
utes today to make a part of the RECORD
what I think is an unassailable, factual
:teceunt of the origin of the National
liberation Front, of the role it occupies
with and for Hanoi, and plead with my
cufie3gues in this body, in all the differ-
ences we may have, at least to strip away
the falsehood, strip away the hoax that
engulfs the NLF.
Once we do that, it seems to me that
we have a better chance more realisti-
cally to deal with the hard-gut issues of
Vietnam.
As I terminate these comments, thank
roy colleague from North Carolina I. Mr.
f,in.vrv I for his courtesy in yielding to me
at this time that I might develop for the
RECORD the story of the beginnings of the
ational Liberation Front. how it was
conceived, and for what purpose it was
conceived. That is what really counts.
The point; of the National Liberation
Font remains what is described in the
simple word "front." It is a front. It is
a facade, and nothing more. Let us not
be deceived any more than we were de-
ceived anywhere else around the world
by new psychological tactics of the Com-
tnutwists in Moscow in one interval, and
by the psychological tactics of the Com-
munists in Peiping at another interval,
and now the Communist group operating
currently out of Hanoi.
If my friend from North Carolina is
of such mind, I would like to return the
[lour to him, and thank him for his cour-
tesy.
M:r. ERVIN. Let me assure my good
frier.d from Wyoming that I was asked
to yield the floor to him in order for him
to make a very clear statement about
the status of the Vietcong. I think it
was a most worthwhile statement be-
cause of the need to have that status
clarified. We have had much loose talk
about negotiating with the Vietcong. To
me the Senatorfrom Wyoming has made
it clear that it would be about as sound
a basis for negotiation as if some country
would demand that when it entered into
negotiations with the United States, in
addition to the officials representing the
United States, there should also be ne-
totiations with members of the Masonic
1.,od6,e, members of the Knights of Co-
lumbus, members of the Ku Klux Klan,
he :Protestant churches and the Catho-
lic churches
;'JIr. McGEE. And the B'nai B'rith.
Nfr. ERVIN. Yes: the B'nai B'rith, the
Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai
Il'rith; and the various unions, the mem-
bers thereof, and different social organi-
zations as well, because they have been
sustained within the borders of the
United States on the same basis, except
that they have been less turbulent
and their activities have been more
,ratifying.
Mr. McGEE. The Senator's comment
is gt;ite appropriate. The point of paral-
lelism is drawn excellently. I would as-
sume that the Senator would want these
comments to be included in the context
of my remarks rather than as a part of
his remarks.
Mr. ERVIN. Yes, because they are
relevant to the speech that the Senator
made, and not to my speech.
During the delivery of Mr. ERVIN's
speech,
Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I thank
the Senator from North Carolina very
much for yielding to me. I note that,
with his usual legal ability, he has
covered every eventuality which might
occur within the next few minutes.
Mr. :ERVIN. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that my previous
unanimous-consent request be broadened
to permit the Senator from Kentucky to
introduce bills, and to engage in colloquy
with other Senators for such questions,
answers, observations, and statements as
he or they may care to make in connec-
tion with such bills, under the same
conditions.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
INVESTMENT CREDIT FOR PRIVATE
INDUSTRY COM13ATING WATER
AND AIR POLLUTION
Mr. COOPER. I thank the Senator
from North Carolina for his courtesy in
yielding to me. I know it is very difficult
for him to give up his time to me, but I
appreciate it very much.
Mr. ERVIN. I will say to the Senator
from Kentucky that it is always wonder-
ful to have an opportunity to be cour-
teous to such a courteous gentleman. I
yielded to him notwithstanding the fact
that I had a long speech to deliver, and I
do not know whether I shall have suffi-
cient time to complete the speech today.
For that reason, I intend to ask unani-
mous consent that I be permitted to
continue. my speech at a subsequent day
without having- my speech of today
counted. as a speech on the. pending
eubj ect.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, in be-
half of the distinguished Senator from
West Virginia [Mr. RANDOLPH] and my-
self, I send to the desk a bill to increase
the investment credit allowable with
respect to facilities to control water and
air pollution. I ask that the bill be
printed in the body of the RECORD follow-
ing my remarks, and that it lie on the
desk until a week from tomorrow,
through next Wednesday, for additional
cosponsors.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, this bill
would increase the present investment
credit of 7 to 14 percent for those indus-
tries purchasing and installing facilities
and equipment controls that would abate
or eliminate air and water polluation.
The Public Works Committee, of which
I am a 'member, during the last several
sessions of Congress has held extensive
hearings on the subject of water and air
pollution. As a result of this study by
the committee, several bills were passed
by the Senate and enacted into law.
The Water Quality Act, which became
Public Law 89-234, provides for a Federal
Water Pollution Control Administration,
increases from $100 million annually to
$150 million annually the grants for
waste treatment facilities over the next
2 years, and increases individual project
grants from $600,000 to $1.2 million, and
multiproject grants from $2.4 to
$4.8 million. It sets up a 4-year, $80 mil-
lion program for demonstration grants
involving new or improved methods of
controlling pollution from storm sewers.
Finally, it authorizes the Secretary of
Health, Education, and Welfare to estab-
lish water quality standards in interstate
waters in those situations where the
States have failed to take action.
The Senator from Maine [Mr. MusKos I
deserves great credit for his leadership in
this field. He introduced the bill and
conducted the hearings. The Senator
from Delaware i Mr. BOGGS] also, as the
ranking member of the subcommittee,
deserves great credit, as does my cospon-
sor. I opposed the bill first introduced
and passed, for, as I stated in my indi-
vidual views and in debate on the floor of
the Senate, I thought the first bill gave
too large a grant of authority to the
Secretary of Health, Education, and Wel-
fare in fixing water quality standards.
f pointed out also that private industry
in the State and local communities
would be required to bear the chief bur-
den of installing antipollution facilities,
and that the bill as originally passed by
the Senate did not provide adequate pro-
visions for their participation in the
establishment of these standards.
However, these provisions of the Sen-
ate bill were remedied in great measure
by the House bill, and I supported the
bill finally agreed upon in the House and
Senate conference.
In April of last year, the committee
held hearings on amendments to the
Clean Air Act. The purpose of that act
is to provide for the establishment of
standards for automotive vehicle emis-
sions, the establishment of a new Fed-
eral Air Pollution Control Laboratory to
conduct a national research and develop-
ment program, and for international
control of air pollution where a foreign
country is adversely affected by air pol-
lution from sources within the United
States.
This law also contains a title 2 desig-
nated as the "Solid Waste Disposal Act,"
which authorizes a total of $92.5 million
for 4 years to be used by the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare and
Interior for research, demonstrations
.and training in connection with disposal
of garbage, refuse, and other discarded
solid materials.
The committee reported favorably and
the Senate passed S. 560, the Federal
Installations, Facilities and Equipment
Pollution Control Act, which is designed
to provide for improved cooperation by
Federal agencies to control water and
air pollution of Federal installations and
facilities and to control automotive ve-
hicle air pollution. The bill authorized
necessary funds for the installation and
maintenance of waste disposal systems
in Federal buildings to meet the stand-
ards established by the Secretary and
makes it mandatory upon the agency

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE February 1, 1966
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent to have printed in
the RECORD an article published in the
Washington Post for April 14, 1965, en-
titled "North Vietnamese Peace Program
Calls for End of All Interference"; and
a statement on U.S. official position on
Vietnam.
There being no objection, the article
and statement were ordered to be printed
in the RECORD, as follows:
NORTH VIETNAMESE PEACE PROGRAM CALLS FOR
END or ALL INTERFERENCE
Toxro, April 13-Premier Pham Van Dong
of Communist North Vietnam has laid down
a four-point program for peace that calls for
the exclusion of all foreign Interference in
both the North and South.
The Now China news agency, quoting a
North Vietnamese broadcast, said the points
were made by Dong Monday in a report to
the national assembly in Hanoi.
The four points made by Dong, the agency
said were:
"1. Recognition of the basic national
rights of the Vietnam people: Peace, inde-
pendence, sovereignty, unity and territorial
integrity.
"2. Pending peaceful reunification of Viet-
nam, while Vietnam is- still temporarily di-
vided Into two zones, the military provisions
of the 1954 Geneva agreements on Vietnam
must be -strictly respected; the two zones
must refrain from joining any military alli-
ance with foreign countries, there must be
no foreign military bases, troops and mili-
tary personnel in their respective territory.
"3. The internal affairs of South Vietnam
must be settled by the South Vietnamese
people themselves, in accordance with the
program of the South Vietnam National
Front for Liberation (Vietcong), without any
foreign interference.
"4. The peaceful reunification of Vietnam
Is to be settled by the Vietnamese people
In both zones, without any foreign interfer-
ence."
The "stand expounded above * * Is the
basis for the soundest political settlement
of the Vietnam problem," Dong said. "If
this basis is recognized, favorable conditions
will be created for the peaceful settlement
of the Vietnam problem and it will be possi-
ble to- consider the reconvening of an Inter-
national conference along the pattern of
the 1954 Geneva Conference on Vietnam."
The New China news agency said that on
the first point "according to the Geneva
agreements, the U.S. Government must with-
draw from South Vietnam U.S. troops, mili-
tary personnel and weapons of all kinds, dis-
mantle all U.S. military bases there, cancel
its 'military alliance' with South Vietnam.
It must end its policy of intervention and
aggression in South Vietnam * * * The
U.S. Government must stop its acts of war
against North Vietnam."
Dong said U.N. intervention in Vietnam
would be "inappropriate" because the United
Nations Is 'hhasically at variance with the
1954 agreement." The 1954 agreement halted
the war between the French and the forces
of Ho Chi Minh, new president of North
Vietnam, and left the country divided.
U.S. OFFICIAL POSITION ON VIETNAM
The following statements are on the pub-
lic record about elements which the United
States believes can go into peace in south-
east Asia:
1. The Geneva Agreements of 1954 and
1962 are an adequate basis for peace in
southeast Asia.
2. We would welcome a conference on
southeast Asia or on any part thereof.
3. We would welcome "negotiations with-
out preconditions" as the 17 nations put It.
4. We would welcome unconditional dis-
cussions as President Johnson put it.
5. -A cessation of hostilities could be the
first order of business at a conference or
could be the subject of preliminary dis-
cussions.
6. Hanoi's four points could be discussed
along with other points which others might
wish to propose.
7. We want no U.S. bases in southeast
Asia.
8. We do not desire to retain U.S. troops in
South Vietnam after peace is assured.
We support free elections in South
Vietnam to give the South Vietnamese a
government of their own choice.
10. The question of reunification of Viet-
nam should be determined by the Vietna-
mese through their own free decision.
11. The countries of southeast Asia can
be nonalined or neutral if that be their
option.
12. We would much prefer to use our
resources for the economic reconstruction of
southeast Asia than in war. If there is
peace, North Vietnam could participate in
a regional effort to which we would be pre-
pared to contribute at least $1 billion.
13. The President has said "The Vietcong
would not have difficulty being represented
and having their views represented if for a
moment Hanoi decided she wanted to cease
aggression. I don't think that would be an
insurmountable problem."
14. We have said publicly and privately
that we could stop the bombing of North
Vietnam as a step toward peace although
there has not been the slightest hint or sug-
gestion from the other side as to what they
would do if the bombing stopped.
Mr. McGEE. Mr. President, I hasten
to add that at the beginning of this prob-
lem, in 1954, 1955, and 1956, we did not
divide Vietnam. Vietnam was ultimately
divided by the forces and the power blocs
which were operating in that area at that
time. We did not divide Korea. That
was an expedient aimed at trying to
achieve the transition from total war to
some kind of peace. -
We did not divide Berlin. We did not
divide Germany, but, we are confronted
by the hard facts of a divided world,
nonetheless.
As Adlai Stevenson put it on one occa-
sion so much more eloquently than I:
Our real choice is not that of a divided
world or one world, but a divided world or
no world.
We have long since learned of the ne-
cessity to accommodate ourselves to a
reasonable division of the areas of power.
It is what some in the old fashioned days
used to call, "restoring the balance of
power," Those are dirty words. The
mete mention of balance of power in-
flames some of our friends in this body.
It also inflames many of my former co-
horts in the academic world who regard
balance of power as a dirty phrase. In-
deed, it is. It is wrong. It is immoral.
But, it is a fact of life. For, in all of the
great progress which we have made in
technological know-how, in scientific en-
deavor, in medical solutions to hitherto
defiant health problems, in all of this
great progress which we have made, we
have made virtually no progress in the
science of orderly existence on earth.
If Napoleon Bonaparte were to cone
back to earth today, he would recognize
the same vestments of nationalism and
national power in the world, they have
changed little in 250 years,
It is a sorry commentary that the only
substitute that civilized man, so-called,
has been willing to accept for war, is the
balance of power. Therefore, it be-
hooves us, upon whose shoulders has
been thrust by history the responsibility
to reestablish that balance in the world,
to start with the hard facts of interna-
tional life; namely, the balance of power.
Of course, that is not the end that we
seek. That is not the goal. But, that
is our starting point, not our stopping
point.
Unless we can reestablish the balance
of power in the world, we cannot mean-
ingfully plan or even hope for a more
stable society of man in the years ahead.
That is what rests upon our conscience
as well as upon our shoulders in this role
of leadership which we assume. We did
not choose it. We did not seek it. But,
as the emerging power of great strength
in the wake of the disasters of World
War II, we inherited it. We inherited
it from the British, from the French, and
from the Dutch.
Unless we can re-establish the balance
of power, we will simply forfeit to a world
in chaos and international anarchy.
This opportunity gives us our begin-
ning. Once we achieve it, Mr. President,
we will have then won the opportunity
for which the war was waged-that is,
the opportunity to do it a little better, the
opportunity to improve upon the trap-
pings of the world order, if we can.
But, we have got to -win the oppor-
tunity first. That opportunity remains
ever elusive if we do not restore the
balance of power. We have come a long
way along the road of balancing the
world in the wake of World War II-a
long way. We were tested in Greece and
Turkey, Iran, Berlin, Korea, and Cuba.
Now it is Vietnam.
Each crisis, in its own terms, by its own
forces, was the measure of our willing-
ness to assume the responsibility of
power in drawing the line of balance
around the globe. Such a line has al-
most been drawn. We can begin in the
northern area of our earthly domain In
Finland, and with a piece of chalk
sketch a line on the globe down across
eastern Europe, above Greece and Tur-
key, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and India, al-
most to the China Sea.
That represents a firm line that has
been drawn, not by a geographer, not by
a theoretician, not by by a philosopher,
but by the sheer balancing force of the
counter power. One source of that power
was vested in Moscow, and the other in
the United States of America. But the
line has been drawn, and it has produced
a greater semblance of order in the
world-in that part of the world; that
is-than at any time since World War
II. But only in the East has it remained
in a vacuum, in a total state of fluility.
We have come so close to rebalancing
the globe that it would be a forfeiture of
deep responsibility finally to stop now,
finally to be so near and yet stop when
it is still so far.
That is the reason why it makes a dif-
ference what we do now, and that is why
we are in Vietnam. That is why we have
no rational, no meaningful, no moral al-
ternative but to stay there for the pres-
ent, to draw that line there, and to epito-
mize in our own vestments of power the
hopes of those nations and lesser people
in numbers, though no lesser than the

tional Liberation Front, directed from
ITa.noi, will they be permitted to make
"their own self-determining way" for the
futu::e.
Ar. LAUSCHE. I hope the Senator
from Wyoming will suffer my repeating
the statement, because it is very signifi-
cant, and it has not been emphasized
anywhere, so far as I know:
'I be internal affairs of South Vietnam must
be settled by the South Vietnamese people
6herrselves, in accordance with the program
of the South Vietnam National Front for
Liberation, without any foreign interference.
1A es that not mean that all the other
people whom the Senator has mentioned
will have nothing to say, except that the
election shall be conducted by the South
Vietnam Liberation Front?
Mr. McGEE. Not only conducted by
i t but counted by it.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Now I ask the ques-
Lion : If the election is carried on in that
way, will it or will it not be a duplica-
tion of the one-party elections which
have been held in all other countries
where the Communists have said, "We
will have open, free elections"?
Mr. McGEE. Indeed it would be. We
should learn that fact from history.
[Tistory can teach us some important
lessons in that respect. I hope it taught
its that lesson in Greece, where exactly
the same demands were made in 1945
and 1.946, and we were compelled to hold
the line, even in support of a king and
royalty and some black-market groups,
in o:der to win the votes for a genuine
,elf-determining development in Greece.
It meant that for a time we had to aban-
don the good guys in the rural areas of
Greece who were involved in that civil
war situation.
In Germany the same thing was time.
This was exactly what the Communists
had in mind when they wanted free elec-
Lions in Germany, provided that mem-
bers of the Communist Party conduct
those elections.
The Communists cannot stand free
elections in Berlin. They cannot stand
free elections in Eastern Germany, be-
cau:se they would be swept out immedi-
ately by the German people. This is an
old hoax, and the fact that some of our
people here in America are taken in
by that hoax, after the lessons we should
have learned from the cold war, is an
exceedingly distressing factor of our
time, and makes the chances of an op-
portunity for winning peace in Viet-
narn all the more difficult, even now.
MM :r. LAUSCHE. It seems to be a
travesty and an insult to the intelligence
of ,he people, when the North Viet-
narr_ese state that: "We want the issue
settled by the South Vietnamese people
themselves, but in accordance with the
program of the South Vietnam National
Front for Liberation."
Our Government has said that it is
com:ent to permit the people of South
Vietnam to determine what type of gov-
ernment they want. In twisted words,
Nor:h Vietnam, through its Premier, has
said chat it wants the people of South
Vietnam to determine what type of gov-
ernment they want.
Yesterday the President of the United
States asked that Ambassador Goldberg
take up the matter in the United Nations.
I suggest at this time that an exploration
of the legitimacy of the proposals by
North Vietnam and by our Government
should be made by the United Nations,
with a view of bringing about open, free
elections, supervised by the United Na-
tions or by a new international agency
created to observe the elections. I should
be happy to hear the Senator comment
on that suggestion.
Mr. :McGEE. I say to my friend
from Ohio that this IS indeed an inter-
esting and provocative suggestion. I feel
compelled to say, on my own behalf, that
it will probably be a great deal more
complicated than that. It is not like
aiming toward elections in Greece, where
they have had a far more sophisticated
experience with. some of the trappings of
self-government or responsible local gov,
ernment, at least, for many years, or in
Germany, where such capabilities exist-
ed wherever free elections could be had.
In South Vietnam, we have the tragic
,circumstance that there has been almost
no experience in self-responsibility in
government. We would only be delud-
ing one another if we agreed that in try-
ing to stage now what we might call free
elections, we would achieve elections
such as we think of in the American
vernacular or in the experience of other
countries in the so-called free world. I
do not believe that can happen very soon.
But I believe that we should try to win
them by drawing a line. We must try to
draw a line in Vietnam for the Viet-
namese to grow into that kind of respon-
sibility, allowing time and opportunity
for them to rise to this capacity, which
all peoples can do if they are not sup-
pressed from the outside by forces that
are deliberately geared to prevent their
self -expression.
If we include the timing in our con-
cept, and realize that perhaps in our time
we shall not see any genuine free elec-
tions so-called,, because the people yet
have to grow up with that kind of ex-
perience, then we could say, "Yes, in-
deed; take any means for a chance for
whatever determination they choose to
make, but free from any imposition on
what they do from Hanoi or any of the
other areas to the north."
Mr. LAUSCHE. There is soundness in
what the Senator has declared. The
point, however, which I am trying to
make is the approach to the problem
from the standpoint of the immediate
time that our Government is prepared to
have open and free elections, to the ex-
tent they can be obtained with the pres-
ent untrained experience of the South
Vietnamese, while the North Vietnamese
have made, in the words of their
Premier, false and beguiling statements
that they wish the people of South Viet-
nam to determine what shall be done
but, quote, "in accordance with the pro-
gram of the liberation front." This
absolutely means the old Communist type
of election.
Mr. McGEE. The Senator is correct.
Let me suggest that even if there may be
some dispute over the degree to which
the people of South Vietnam-or similar
areas which were too long under colonial
domination-might be capable of rising
to self-governrrient, the fact remains that
we know the surest way they will never
obtain it would be to turn them over to
the Communists. Whatever else our
feelings may be, at least we have a moral
goal in the matter of what we believe,
and political righteousness in terms of
freedom for all people to make their own
determination of what they wish to live
with, and what conditions they will ac-
cept, and so forth. We also know how
they cannot get that by surrendering to
forces from the outside that would move
in by sheer power, and cram its doctrine,
its methodology, and its leadership down
the throats of its neighbors.
It is the prevention of such a situation
that we stand for in this country.
I hope we are not trying to make little
democrats out of everyone-and with all
due respect to my friends on the other
side of the aisle, I mean little democrats
with a small "d." I hope we are not try-
ing to make little Americans out of
everyone.
To me, American foreign policy is sim-
ple, and that is to uphold the right of
every nation, of every people, anywhere,
to determine its own future, its own
destiny within its own confines, so long
as it does not impose its attitudes upon
its neighbors by force, or have to suc-
cumb to imposition from its neighbors by
force.
That is as simple and as plainly as it
can be put. Let the nations work out the
variations of the future they want.
Mr. LAUSCHE. It is my position, and
I am quite certain that it is the position
also of the Senator from Wyoming, that
when we made the statement that we
support free elections in South Vietnam,
to give the South Vietnamese a govern-
ment of their own choice-which we did
in a brief statement, and simply put-
we declared what the Senator has just
stated a moment ago to be his concept
of the philosophy of our Government.
If the Liberation Front really wishes
peace, it would seem to me that it would
go to the negotiating table and there dis-
cuss ways and means to insure free and
open elections. But, that they will not
do.
Mr. McGEE. The Senator does not
blame them, does he?
Mr. LAUSCHE. I blame them be-
cause--
Mr. McGEE. Because that would de-
stroy them.
Mr. LAUSCHE. They wish South
Vietnam to be surrendered to them-
Mr. McGEE. Of course. They cannot
afford to negotiate. They cannot afford
to compromise. They cannot afford to
settle. Their only hope is to settle by the
imposition of force-their force-on only
one kind of peace; namely, their peace.
They cannot afford anything else.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Another condition
laid down by the Premier is that all for-
eign troops be pulled out, and then that
elections be held in accordance with the
concept of the Communists in holding an
election.
I thank the Senator from Wyoming
very much for his comments.
Mr. McGEE. I also wish to thank the
Senator from Ohio for his valuable con-
tribution in this dialog that we have been
able to spell out on. the floor of the
Senate.

February 1, 1966 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
What we are now witnessing is the Ameri-
can economic miracle and, since the Nation
is now into the sixth year without recession,
it is time to recognize that this miracle is
not accidental.
At a time when communism is still claim-
ing it is the wave of the future-though
neither in Red China nor in the Soviet Union
can Communist agriculture feed its own
people-maybe competitive private enter-
prise has something to be said for it.
We must be doing something right.
When President Eisenhower submitted
a 1958-59 budget of $72 billion, Secretary of
the Treasury George Humphrey screamed at
the White House that such a spending binge
would "bring on a recession that would curl
your hair." It didn't.
The $112.8 billion budget Mr. Johnson
presented to Congress this week is a big bud-
get but, because of the vigor and growth of
the economy, it does not dangerously strain
the resources of the Nation.
Eisenhower's $72 billion was often cited as
the biggest peacetime budget ever. But it
wasn't. Not that it wasn't the biggest to
that moment, but it wasn't a peacetime
budget. It was a peace-plus-cold-War
budget.
And Mr. Johnson's $112.8 billion is not a
peacetime budget. It is a peace-plus-cold-
war-plus-hot-war budget and the President
put his finger on its economic soundness
when he pointed out in his economic mes-
sage that, while our defense needs are great,
our economic growth is far greater.
There is no doubt that there are large
uncertainties in the budget. The uncer-
tainties are the war-cost estimates and the
revenue estimates. They could both be
wrong. They usually are.
If they prove to be, the President will have
to propose higher taxes and cutting back
some homefront spending to hold inflation
in check.
NEED FOR BAIL REFORM
(Mr. SCHWEIKER asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. SCHWEIKER. Mr. Speaker, I
introduce today a bill which will estab-
lish for the first time a formal statutory
removal procedure to be followed by bail
bondsmen and supervised by U.S. judicial
officers in the State to which an alleged
bail jumper has moved. It is a simpli-
fied form of the current extradition
process and requires that bondsmen pro-
cure an arrest warrant from a U.S. com-
missioner or U.S. judge and then bring
the bailee before that official for a hear-
Ing. The Federal officer would issue a
removal warrant to the bondsman only
after he had satisfied himself that the
accused was the person sought, that he
had been admitted to bail in another
State and had violated the provisions of
that bail, and that the bondsman is a
valid representative of the bonding com-
pany. If the removal warrant was
issued, the accused would have to be re-
turned promptly to the State from which
he had fled. Bondsmen who fail to com-
ply with these provisions of my bill would
be subject to a fine of not more than
$5,000, or imprisonment for not more
than 2 years, or both.
The dangers of the present system
have been made clear by the actions of
bondsmen in a recent episode involving
one of my constituents. Presently, con-
victed criminals that escape have more
rights than alleged bail jumpers who
have not been convicted of any crime.
At present, the law does not prescribe
procedures in this field. In fact, bonds-
men today base their actions on a Su-
preme Court decision handed down in
1872. I believe that the due process of
the law can only be assured by enactment
of this bill. It will merely require bonds-
men to follow the same procedures now
used by policemen under similar circum-
stances. Presently, bondsmen enjoy
special powers not given even to the
police. I feel that is is imperative that
the operations of bail bondsmen engaged
in recovering fugitives in another State
must be subject to the careful super-
vision of the courts to protect the basic
rights of all concerned.
I am pleased to be joined in this effort
by my colleague, Senator TYDINGS, who
is introducing this bill today in the
Senate.
(Mr. SCHWEIKER asked and was
given permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
BENEFITS FOR VETERANS OF CUR-
RENT MILITARY SERVICE
(Mr. ADAIR asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. ADAIR. Mr. Speaker, much con-
cern has been expressed in recent months
over the benefits that were available to
veterans of current military service.
These men are, of course, entitled to
many of the benefits that our grateful
Nation has bestowed upon its war vet-
erans. Two notable exceptions, however,
are educational benefits and hospitaliza-
tion for the treatment of non-service
connected disabilities.
I have introduced a bill to authorize
educational benefits for veterans of serv-
ice after January 31, 1955, and I antici-
pate that my colleagues in the House of
Representatives will soon have an oppor-
tunity to vote on a bill on this subject.
I am today introducing a bill making
veterans with service after January 31,
1955, also eligible for hospitalization for
non-service-connected disabilities on the
same basis as veterans of a period of
war. We have all seen instances, Mr.
Speaker, of men who were separated for
disabilities which the Veterans' Admin-
istration holds are not service connected.
These men, in many instances, are un-
able to establish the fact that their dis-
abilities originated in service. When
they require treatment for such condi-
tions, the existing law prohibits it.
It is my understanding that the Vet-
erans' Administration will accept a vet-
eran applicant for treatment in one of
its hospitals until such time as service
connection is either established or ruled
out. The bill I am introducing today will
provide statutory entitlement to this
hospitalization with the same limitations
regarding the veteran's ability to pay
and the availability of a bed as is con-
tained in existing law for war veterans.
I urge my colleagues to join in support
of this measure.
(Mr. BRAY asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. BRAY. Mr. Speaker, the Presi-
dent has stated some of the compelling
reasons that the United States is again
using air power against the Vietcong and
their North Vietnamese supporters.
He could have told in more detail how
much the bombing pause has allowed the
Vietcong to increase their supplies and
strengthen their resources. There is no
question but that the Vietcong have
benefited from a buildup in supplies dur-
ing the bombing pause. How much this
may lengthen the war and how much it
will cost in lives no one can say.
This was a decision of the President,
and only time will tell whether the pause
contributed to finding a peaceful solu-
tion to the Vietnamese problem.
What has been most disturbing is
the public appeals of several prominent
Senators to continue the bombing pause.
I do not question the right of these repre-
sentatives to voice their dissent to the
policies of the President, even though
they are of his party, but to publicly ask
for an extension of the pause after he
had already told congressional leaders of
the compelling arguments for resump-
tion of the bombing could serve little
purpose here and was misinterpreted
abroad.
Everytime a prominent American sug-
gests a softening of our policy in Viet-
nam unfortunate consequences follow in
Asia. Our friends, the South Viet-
namese, are constantly concerned that
that United States will pull out of Viet-
nam and leave them to the retaliation
of the Vietcong.
The North Vietnamese and the Chinese
take each such statement as further
proof that our strength is ebbing and
our determination is weak.
The most important factor in bringing
the Communists to negotiations is to con-
vince them that we are absolutely deter-
mined to see the problem through to a
reasonable solution. If they think we
are about to withdraw or give up, such
misconceptions will only prolong the
fighting, causing more American service-
men to be killed, and hamper efforts to
find a peaceful solution.
Consequently for several Senators to
publicly pressure the President on this
subject, even after the decision to resume
had been made, was a move unwise in
conception and harmful in execution.
If further debate is to be had on this
subject, let us try to keep it within the
realm of matters which can still be
changed, and let us try to phrase our
questions in such a way as to leave no
doubt of our firm resolution.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTING

Mr. MATHIAS. Mr. Speaker, I would

:ional primary and general elections is
considered.
In my remarks I have pointed out that
more than 25 percent of the Members of
this House will be affected if a congres-
sional districting bill, already passed
here and amended and now pending in
the other body, is enacted into law to
bring congressional districts to within
10 percent of each other in population.
One-fourth of flee districts represented
in this House would have to be altered to
conform to that legislation, and although
its effective date may be postponed, its
tarovisions could be influential with leg-
islatures now discussing congressional
redistricting.
Mr. Speaker, in my compilation of sta-
tistics on that subject I have used the
li;;ures which existed in North Carolina
prior to the veo recent redistricting in
that State.
I would like further permission, Mr.
Speaker, to note that the figures used in
my previous remarks must be adjusted

North Carolina districts.

is so ordered.
There was no objection.

THE FOREIGN AID PROGRAM
(Mr. HAYS asked and was given per-
mission to address the House for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extends his re-
marks.)
Mr. HAYS. Mr. Speaker, I have sup-
ported the foreign aid program for 17
years, sometimes somewhat reluctantly,
but at the samr. time I have felt free
to criticize the foreign aid administra-
tion when I thought they were wrong.
They do not like criticism, and con-
sequently I was not one of those who got
an advance notice of what they are pro-
posing in a new foreign aid program, nor
was I one of those invited down for a
briefing yesterday. But if what I hear
around the floor is correct, it has taken
them 6 or 7 years to approach what I
have been suggesting that they do for a
lung time, and that is quit trying to in-
dustrialize emerging nations, nations
which have no basis for industrialization,
no technical know-how, and no skilled
personnel.
We should try to concentrate upon the
basic things, namely, teaching them
how to feed themselves and how to pro-
duce enough food so that they will not
be on a starvation diet, and how to start
with very basic and elementary educa-
tion. If the AID agency is sincere in try-
ing to carry forward a program like this,
1. might find it possible to support for-
eign aid for the 18th time. But having
watched them in action, I will be very
careful to scrutinize their requests and
ask questions, even if it is at the risk of
being left out of the briefings. I think
I will be able to survive and get the in-
formation anyway.
THE FOREIGN GIVEAWAY
(Mr. GROSS asked a- .gas given per-
mission to address the , _ _Kse for 1 min-
ute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, I wondered
where one of the previous speakers got
so much information about the Presi-
de:st's foreign aid program in view of
the fact that the White House message
has not been read. The gentleman from
Ohio, my friend Mr. HAYS, throws some
light on the subject. Apparently it was
at a closed-door meeting at the White
House yesterday.
.1 would hope that the President, if he
is :doing to ask for a 5-year foreign give-
away program, would let a few more of
us in on the takeoff as well as the land-
ings.
,Nir. HAYS. Mr. Speaker, will the E'.en-
tlernan yield?
:Hr. GROSS. I am happy to yield to
the gentleman from Ohio,
Mr. HAYS. I was not concerned about
not being invited to the briefing. I Just
hope that they do not take me off the list
when they have food down there. That
is what I like to know about .
Mr. GROSS. I was not personally
concerned about it either, but I do think
that perhaps others ought to be in on
the takeoffs as they are staged.
Tl i.IE; FOREIGN AID PROGRAM--
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC.
NO. 374)
The SPEAKER laid before the House
the following message from the Presi-
dent of the United States, which was
read, and together with the accompany-
ing papers, referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be
printed:
To the Congress of the United State:,:
I recommend a foreign aid program to
help those nations who are determined
to help themselves.
I recommend a program to help give
the people of the less developed world
the food, the health, the skills and edu-
cation-arid the strength-lead their
nations to self-sufficient lives of plenty
and freedom.
:[ propose to carry forward the best of
what we are now doing in the less devel-
oped world, and cut out the worst. I
also propose to make the basic changes
the times demand.
My recommendations are grounded in
the deep conviction that we must use
foreign assistance to attack the root
causes of poverty. We must concentrate
on countries not hostile to us that ?,,ive
solid evidence that they are determined
to help themselves.
'1 his is the lesson of the past. It is
the hope for the future. It is the guiding
principle for a nation ready and will.-
Ing to cooperate with the industrious,
but unwilling to subsidize those who do
not assume responsibility for their own
fate.
During the past year I have given cur
foreign assistance program the most so-
ber and searching review. I have ques-
tioned the merit of each program. Spe-
cial groups have concentrated on the
particular areas of food, education, and
health. A Cabinet committee has ex-
amined the details of our general eco-
nomic and military assistance.
Thus, the steps I recommend. today
have been developed in the light of ad-
vice from senior officials in the execu-
tive branch, congressional leaders, and
experienced advisers from outside Gov-
ernment. They also have been developed
with full recognition of our balance-of-
payments situation.
They emerge from a rigorous examina-
tion of our past experience.
They are informed by compassion and
shaped by the history of two decades.
They are the proof of our devotion to
the works of peace.
They reflect our vision of a world free
from fear and ripe with opportunity.
They will shape the legacy we leave
our children.
I
The quest for :peace is as old as man-
kind.
For countless centuries man struggled
to secure first his home, then his village,
then his city. It is the unique heritage
of our century that men must strive for
a secure world.
Peace, plenty, freedom-our fathers
aspired to these as we do now. But the
fateful truth of our age is that all our
personal and national hopes hang in a
balance affected by events and attitudes
half a world away.
We have paid a fearful price to learn
the folly of isolation. We have learned
that the human misery which infects
whole nations with a thirst for violent
change does not give way to mere slogans.
We have learned that the works of peace
require courage and foresight. The need
knows neither national boundary nor
narrow ideology.
We have demonstrated this under-
standing in many ways over the past two
decades. Our military strength has pro-
tected many countries threatened by in-
vasion from without or subversion from
within. Our economic assistance pro-
grams have rebuilt Europe. We have
helped untold millions to gain confidence
in peaceful progress, where there has
been neither peace nor progress for cen-
turies.
We will never know how many cri:;es
have been averted, how much violence
avoided, or how many minds have been
won to the cause of freedom In these
years. But I believe we have many such
achievements to our credit.
Yet today the citizens of many develop-
ing nations walk in the shadow of mis-
ery: half the adults have never been to
school; over half the people are hungry
or malnourished; food production per
person is falling; at present rates of
growth, population will double before the
year 2000.

House of Representatives
The House met at 12 o'clock noon.
George R. Davis, minister, National
City Christian Church, Washington,
D.C., offered the following prayer:
Let us pray.
Eternal Spirit of- Truth, whose ways
are higher than our ways, and whose
thoughts are higher than our thoughts,
we feel Thy call to us. We cannot rest
until we have more nearly approached
Thy goodness, Thy love, Thy holiness.
We pray in all of our human agencies a
deepening of the desire to find and fol-
low Thy laws for men. Just now espe-
cially we long for this in governments.
And we pray especially In these hours
for our own Government. We thank
Thee for her greatness, her ideals, her
achievements. In these very critical
days let Thy blessing rest upon this
House of Representatives, the President
of the United States, our courts, and all
the governing bodies of our Nation.
Help us to be strong and unwavering as
we carry the burdens of world leader-
ship. Keep us humble. Keep us per-
sistent in the quest for world peace, by
every legitimate means, even as we stand
faithfully against aggression and tyr-
anny. 0 God, our Father, hear our
earnest prayer, for all men and nations,
and be to us all not only the God of the
nations, but the Father of each of us,
In the name of Him who Is the Wonder-
ful Counselor, the Mighty God, the
Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1966
United States cannot induce progress in
other nations from the outside.
On the other hand, the people of Asia,
Africa, and Latin America now know
that a far better life Is possible. They
know that ignorance, poverty, and de-
spair are not inevitable facts of life. In
the face of this new awareness and the
new aspirations to which it gives rise,
the rich nations of the world can no
longer afford just to help their under-
developed neighbors sustain themselves
on the brink of survival. Such a course
would eventually lead to worldwide
disaster. There is no doubt that we
must assist in this struggle for a better
life. In doing so, however, we should
continue to insist upon adequate stand-
ards of performance from those who seek
our aid. Our most vital contribution
should be assisting the drive toward self-
reliance. For us, this is the only prac-
ticable course; for new nations with a
strong sense of national pride and pur-
pose, it is the only acceptable course.
As the President has emphasized, self-
help means more than cost-sharing on
individual projects. It means firm com-
mitments about how the finished proj-
ects will be used and maintained. In the
President's concept, self-help must in-
clude such things.as the restructuring of
a tax system to make it more effective
and more equitable; the enactment of
stringent fiscal measures to insure that
temporary gains are not swept away in
a tide of inflation; the institution of
agricultural and land reform so that the
farmers may realize a better return for
their labor.
What we are trying to do in Asia,
Africa, and Latin America is to get the
less-developed countries started on an
upward spiral of rising production, rising
income, and rising standards of living so
that they eventually will be able to con-
tinue on their way unaided.
President Johnson has made clear his
determination that U.S. foreign aid
shall not be used as a worldwide relief
program with the needy nations lined up
for handouts from the rich. He is de-
termined, rather, that our aid will be
used to help developing nations achieve
economic independence as well as politi-
cal independence. I know that he will
receive the enthusiastic support of the
Congress in his efforts.
Communist aggressor. The President
extended the olive branch of peace. He
even gave the aggressor time to recon-
sider his infamous actions and offered
to negotiate. The President's gesture of
peace was rejected by additional ruth-
less aggression. The President had no
alternative but to attack the source of
aggression.
The enemy took advantage of the
truce to strengthen his base of aggres-
sion. The enemy used this time to pre-
pare for further aggressive action
against the peaceful Vietnamese people
and against American soldiers stationed
in Vietnam for peace and to prevent the
spread of war.
Having returned from Vietnam only
last week, Mr. Speaker, I can assure you
this is welcome news to the American
men at the fighting front and to free-
dom fighters of all nationalities. We
cannot permit sanctuaries free of at-
tack when aggression is spawned and
nurtured against freemen from those
sanctuaries. We must destroy those
bases of aggressions and International
crime. We are in war and every means
at our disposal should be used to insure
final victory over the forces of tyranny
and evil oppression. We must protect
our men with every means at our com-
mand. We should barricade the coast of
North Vietnam and prevent their instru-
mentalities of death from reaching our
boys at the fighting front. We should
destroy the airfields, generating plants,
and industrial complexes of North Viet-
nam. The President's action will en-
courage the Koreans, the Thais, the
Philippine people, the Republic of China,
and the forces of freedom all over the
world.
Mr. Speaker, our men in South Viet-
nam from General Westmoreland to the
private in the foxhole, the Vietnamese
military, news correspondents, and civi-
lians in every walk of life are virtually
united in their desire to see victory in
the cause of freedom in southeast Asia.
Upon my return from South Vietnam,
I, along with others, made this recom-
mendation to the President. President
Johnson has my support In his heroic ef-
fort to halt Communist aggression and
restore peace to the world.

Mr. ZABLOCKI. Mr. Speaker, I was
most pleased by the stress President
Johnson placed on the need for more
self-help by countries seeking economic
aid from the United States. This em-
phasis on more self-reliance reflects a
growing recognition that our economic
assistance programs must be genuine
partnerships if they are to succeed. The
burden must be shared, but the major
portion of the burden should be carried
by the developing nations themselves.
Economic development is an inside job.

peaceful negotiation has clearly indi-
cated that there is no possibility for
peace at this time.
It must be said by any unbiased ob-
server that the efforts of the President
have been overwhelming in the pursuit of
a peaceful solution. He has gone far
more than the second mile. He has re-
peatedly committed the administration
to the principle of unconditional discus-
sions leading to the negotiation of the
cessation of hostilities and a peace set-
tlement. He has expressed readiness to
utilize mediation efforts by United Na-
tions members, and especially by United
Nations Secretary-General U Thant. He
has also proposed a billion dollar devel-
opment fund for southeast Asia.
All of this indicates a deep sense of re-
sponsibility on the part of the President
to explore every means possible to find
a solution to problems in Vietnam.
With his announcement of today, the
President has again forcefully asserted
his sincerity of purpose by instructing
Ambassador Goldberg to immediately
take this problem to the Security Coun-
cil of the United Nations.
If the request by the President for the
intervention by the United Nations
achieves success, we will all rejoice. I

hand of the President in this matter and
giving him my prayerful support.

veterans to see that they actually saved
the United States money. Veterans who
availed themselves of these p:rograms-
includirig myself-have raised their in-
ome and educational levels. As a re-
sult, our society as a whole has improved.
The old GI Bill of Rights cost the Gov-
ernment $14.5 billion. However, the
persons who took advantage of this bill
are now better educated and are :return-
ing higher taxes to the U.S. coffers at a
rate expected to pay back the amount
twice a:nd possibly three times over in the
course of a lifetime.
Our draft law is necessary but it does
require these young men to serve on ac-
tive duty in the Armed Forces for a re-
quired period of time. These young men
have been called upon to make the per-
sonal sacrifices associated with military
service; yet they have been denied the
readjustment aids to vitally needed to
help them catch up with those of their
contemporaries who were not in service.
Some Members of Congress favor a
very limited so-called "hot war" bill but
I think this falls short of our need.;. The
bill I alrm about to introduce will provide
a plan which is coherent and equitable,
and applicable to all servicemen without
regard to where they .may be directed to
serve in response to the exigencies of the
cold war or crisis situations.
A leading New Jersey newspaper, the
Red Bank Daily Register, recently car-
ried an editorial which I hope every
member of this House will read. At this
point I would like to insert into the
RECORD the editorial which recently ap-
peared.
In terms of dollars alone, the return In
taxes from the men and women who used the
educational provisions of the first GI bill is
expected to total 21/2 times the $14.5 billion
governmental outlay. But more important
are the services supplied by the doctors,
dentists, teachers, lawyers, clergymen, busi-
nessmen, tradesmen, and thousands of others
who got their schooling with the aid of the
law.
It was the most extensive Federal aid to
education program in the country's history,
which makes continued carping about the
"threat" of such Federal aid the more difficult
to understand. Still, that is no harder to
understand than arguing against a new bill
on the ground that it would cost too much.
By the same token, there is no need to
justify support for the legislation as a Viet-
namese war GI bill of rights. Regardless of
whether the servicemen fighting in the
jungles there merit a reward, the return on
investment is so promising that the Nation
can scarcely afford to pass it up for its own
sake alone.
Instead of passing a Vietnamese war GI
bill-as there were GI bills after World War
II and the Korean war-Congress ought to
pass a permanent GI bill..
EUGENE MEYER PAVILION
(Mr. McCORMACK: (at the request of
Mr. Moss) was granted permission to
extend his remarks in this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous mat-
ter.)
Mr. McCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, on
Friday, January 21, 1966, the Eugene
Meyer Pavilion was dedicated at the
George Washington University Hospital.
The late Eugene Meyer was a great sup-
porter of George Washington University,
and as everyone knows, he was very ac-
tive in the field of business, philanthropy
any civil works. The pavilion is a won-
derful tribute to his memory and repre-
sents the latest of medical equipment,
which truly emphasizes the greatness of
the late Eugene Meyer. The pavilion,
with its excellent medical facilities, will
be of great assistance to the hospital it-
self, and patients will derive much bene-
fit from the medical improvements.
The George Washington University
honored Senator BIBLE and me by pre-
senting to us two very fine plaques,
which have been installed in the lobby
of the Eugene Meyer Pavilion. On that
occasion I had the honor to address the
group that was assembled to dedicate the
pavilion. In my extension of remarks, I
include the speech that I made on that
occasion:
Dr. Elliott, president of George Washing-
ton University, Mrs. Eugene Meyer, board of
trustees, Senator BIBLE, distinguished guests
and friends, born of pioneer stock, in the
literal sense, Eugene Meyer was to become, in
time, a poineer in his own right, blazing
paths of glory in several areas of endeavor,
and establishing a record unsurpassed in
the field of business, philanthropy and civil
works.
Eugene Meyer's father immigrated from
France to California via the Isthmus of Pana-
ma, settling In Los Angeles, in the 1870's.
There he became successful as a commercial
banker in the French firm of Lazard Freres.
Young Eugene Meyer was educated in the
public schools of San Francisco and spent
it year at the University of California, con-
cluding his studies at Yale, from which he
graduated in 1895. Six years later he opened
his own investment banking house in New
York City.
GI BILL FOR Goon
Long-stymied efforts to enact a new GI bill
oi rights are expected to succeed early in this
year's session of Congress, The administra-
tion and its spokesmen in the Ilouse re-
portedly have relaxed their opposition to a
measure already passed by the Senate to
grant education and home loan benefits to
men who have served in the Armed Forces
since the Korean war GI bill expired in 1955.
The administration blocked the legislation
in the past because of its cost, which is not
a sound reason for opposing a program which
would be as much in the Nation's interest as
that of its individual beneficiaries. The
change in attitude apparently arises from the
political climate generated by the increasing
hazard to U.S. servicemen in Vietnam, which
is not the best reason for adopting the
program.
There is no better argument for a new GI
bill than the experience with the original
one for the veterans of World War II. While
it was conceived primarily as a way to reward
the millions whose lives were interrupted and
permanently changed by that great struggle,
the Nation. as a society got a great deal more
out of the program than it put in.

not a comfortable position for the heavy-
handed Texan who is used to having his
own way in most everything except per-
haps, his daughter's marriage.
The state of the Union message was dis-
turbing In that it carried the message of a
man who labors for a consensus on the one
hand with a program of massive welfare
now being extended into a worldwide appli-
cation in apparent hopes that the impover-
ished across the land will join the legions
of L.B.J. boosters among the welfare recip-
ients here at home. On the other hand the
tone came through of a man who realizes
that two centuries of progress, bringing us
to the point of being the greatest and most
generous civilization the world has ever
known, still find leaders of rival world forces
bent on our destruction. The obligations
of protecting that civilization at the expense
of losing points in the "world opinion poll"
are not as easy to face as are suggestions
for spending money among the poor.
LYNDON; WHAT HE DIDN'T SAY
Midst all of the suggestions for advancing
the spending for welfare, the new Depart-
ment of Transportation, and the 4-year terms
for Congressmen (well calculated to gain
congressional favor) there were a number
of pertinent points that were totally ignored.
We hope that responsible Members of the
Congress will raise these points on the floor
for debate and demand that they be included
in any program of action that we may em-
bark upon.
We heard nothing of the demands of labor
for wage increases of 30 percent and more
in the railroad operating unions and in the
transit unions of New York. lie did admit
in a press conference, the following day, that
the settlement of the transit strike in New
York had far exceeded the guidelines of non-
inflationary price and wage adjustments. He
didn't do anything about it though, to no
one's surprise.
Floridians noted a lack of emphasis on the
space program. With all other aspects of
Government spending given a good leg up on
the Great Society train. it seemed significant
that this vital program was totally ignored
in the picture Lyndon painted. A sharp cut-
back in spending, for space could have a
quick reaction on the economy of Florida.
The rights of people in Vietnam to deter-
mine their own destiny was made clear. The
rights of the millions of people who have
been gathered unwillingly into the commu-
nity of captive nations to those same rights
of determining their destiny was ignored.
In fact it was strongly suggested that we step
up our trade with those who had done the
captivating of these people.
Mounting evidence of Communist terror-
ism in South and Central America was ig-
nored. Numerous countries are feeling the
increase in this reprehensible tactic of the
Vietcong in this hemisphere from the Domin-
ican Republic to Brazil. Plans for assistance
to these nations were not mentioned.
There was no mention of the plan recently
announced to settle the problem with Pana-
ma by a treaty amounting to almost total
surrender to forces of the radical left. When
sovereign U.S. territory is given away by
treaty, or at least is in the position where
it is about to be offered to the Senate for
ratification, it would seem to be worth men-
tioning in the state of the Union message.
Rising threats of inflation were skimmed
over without a backward glance. Cost-of-liv-
ing figures are rising at a rate that should
create some interest among people other
than those getting hurt. No one thing can
defeat the aims of the war on poverty
faster than inflation. If there is to be any
victory in that war there must be curbs on
inflation. An example on your own table
is the reduction of the weight of a standard
loaf of bread from 11/2 to 11/ pounds while
retaining the same size. Perhaps you haven't
read the wrapper; it might be interesting.
There was no mention of accepting the
help of the well-trained and equipped army
of Nationalist China to aid our cause in
South Vietnam. There was also no mention
of extreme 'vulnerability of our forces to a
sudden and massive air attack from China
with nuclear weapons or conventional
bombs. There was no mention of the tre-
mendous stock of supplies being shipped
regularly to our enemies by our so-called
friends.
There was no mention of the weapons of
war being supplied by Russia and her Eastern
European stooges to the Hanoi war effort.
The idea of increasing trade with these coun-
tries must seem strange to a man looking
down the barrel of a Polish-made rifle, built
with steel from a plant supplied by the
United States and delivered with trucks
along a road we cannot bomb; trucks built
with the capacity of plants assisted by U.S.
dollars.
The state of the Union is not quite as
suggested by last Wednesday's message.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
of
HON. J. WILLIAM STANTON
OF OHIO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 27, 1966
Mr. STANTON. Mr. Speaker, this
coming Friday evening, February 21,
1966, there is scheduled in my hometown
of Painesville, Ohio, a surprise dinner in
honor of one of Lake County, Ohio's out-
standing citizens. The dinner is in
honor of Mr. Louis Vinocur, county
administrator, Lake County, Ohio.
Mr. Speaker, for the benefit of those
who will be present, and for the count-
less thousands of taxpayers of Lake
County who have benefited by Mr. Vino-
cur's services, I would like to outline a
few facts about this very likeable gentle-
man.
Louis Vinocur started to work for the
Lake County Commissioners on Decem-
ber 1, 1960. At that time it was my
pleasure to be serving on the board of
county commissioners. He was recom-
mended to me by my fellow commis-
sioner, John D. Hadden. Mr. Vinocur
brought with him over 15 years of ex-
perience in the State auditor's office and
a thorough knowledge of county finances
and procedure. As the years went by,
Lake County became the fastest growing
county in the.State.and Mr. Vinocur's
experience proved to be of tremendous
value. His insistence on the investment
of idle county funds has saved the tax-
payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A great personal tribute to Mr. Vinocur
is the fact that, while he himself is a
stanch and loyal member of the Grand
Old Party, he has served in the capacity
of administrator under the administra-
tion of both political parties. In his job
he has always put the good of the public
before personal political consideration.
Louis Vinocur is a strong family man.
He now resides with his wife, Mercedes,
at 7 North Park Place In Painesville. A
daughter, Mrs. Roberta Friedkin of Mas-
A443
sachusetts, and a son, Sander, have made
him the proud grandfather of five lovely
children.
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to call
Louis Vinocur a personal friend. He is a
close confidant of mine whose advice I
have often sought and will continue to do
so. I hope to be in Lake County -on Fri-
day night to say along with his hundreds
of friends, "Thanks Louie."
Mr. Speaker, at this point in the CON-
GRESSIONAL RECORD I wish to insert a
statement by County Commissioner
John Hadden concerning Louis Vinocur.
This excellent statement most ade-
quately reflects the thoughts of thou-
sands of Mr. Vinocur's friends:
As an example to the youth of today who
may feel an inadequacy in the future of
America or in the benefits of education, we
of Lake County, Ohio, point with pride to
our appointed county administrator as an
ideal to strive toward.
This gentleman, Mr. Louis Vinocur, as a
peasant lad in southern Russia-with his
family at the turn of the century-walked
across Russia to the North Sea to seek a bet-
ter life in America. Going first to Montreal
and then to Cleveland, he progressed through
education and application, working his way
through school and earning his degree from
Ohio Northern University.
He has served the public of Lake County
and the State of Ohio faithfully and well and
has now reached the pinnacle of his years.
A successful man-with a fine family-a
faithful public servant with integrity, hon-
esty, candor, and fearlessness, combined with
friendliness and a warm human nature. His
legacy will be a good life and a dedication to
duty that the student of today would do well
to emulate.

OF
HON. BENJAMIN S. ROSENTHAL
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, February 1, 1966
Mr. ROSENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, un-
der leave to extend my remarks in
the Appendix of the RECORD, I take
the liberty of including herein two
editorials which appeared in the New
York Times-one in the January 31 edi-
tion entitled "Congress and Vietnam,"
and the other in this morning's edition
entitled "Peace and War."
I believe these articles merit the con-
sideration of all Members of the Con-
gress, and I therefore commend them to
the attention of my colleagues:

CONGRESS AND VIETNAM
With 200,000 American troops in Vietnam
and growing concern that many more may
have to join them there, pressure is increas-
ing in Washington for a formal, full-dress
congressional, debate on U.S. policy in this
area.
We believe that a comprehensive discus-
sion of this issue in the Senate-or in both
the House and the Senate-is extremely de-
sirable. A matter of this great importance
deserves more adequate and more organized
attention than is provided by the occasional
statements individual legislators have made
in recent months. Moreover, the situation in
Vietnam and the scale of American Involve-

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX February 1, 1966
fnent there have changed drastically since
the Tonkin Gulf incidents of the summer of
1364 that produced the blank check congres-
sional joint resolution President Johnson has
recently cited as legal authority for his pres-
ent use of American forces in Vietnam.
There is certainly no lack of opportunity
for the needed great debate on Vietnam
policy. Both chambers of Congress have be-
fore them the President's request for an
additional appropriation of $12.7-billion to
finance military and economic activities in
that area. Senator GRUENING has introduced
a resolution to deprive the President of au-
thority to send draftees to southeast Asia,
while Senator MonsE has sponsored a bill to
repeal the 1964 joint resolution on which the
President relies. A major discussion of Viet-
ruun would be appropriate to consideration
of any or all of these matters.
The argument can be made that such an
open clash of opinion would strengthen the
conviction in Hanoi and Peiping that the
United States is tiring of the Vietnam war
and will abandon Saigon sooner or later.
But this argument is not very persuasive
since the North Vietnamese and Chinese
Communists are already well aware that a
significant number of Congressmen and
other Americans have publicly indicated
their lack of enthusiasm for escalating that
conflict.
Congress must engage in a full and syste-
matic debate on Vietnam policy if it is to
meet its constitutional duties as well as its
members' moral obligation to the voters they
represent. Such a debate could help educate
the people of this Nation--many of whom
are undoubtedly hazy about why American
boys are fighting and dying so far from
borne-on the issues involved, and the na-
ture of the choices before the country. Life
might be simpler for the administration if
Congress merely continued to rubberstamp
its Vietnam policy, but President Johnson's
political position both at home and through-
out the world would be much stronger if his
actions won formal and explicit congressional
endorsement after full airing of all points of
view. Those who oppose a congressional de-
aate encourage belief, in Hanoi and else-
where, that the present White House policy
in Vietnam has less domestic support than
the President claims it has..
1From the New York Times, Feb. 1, 1966]
1'a,,CE AND WAR
In a dramatic move timed immediately to
follow resumption of the bombing of North
Vietnam, President Johnson has asked the
Socurity Council of the United Nations to
intervene in the Vietnam conflict by calling
for an international conference and a cease-
lire. This is an. important if long-delayed
gesture by the United States that holds the
possibility of opening the way to peace and
Only emphasizes the sincerity of President
Johnson's desire to put an end to the war
in Vietnam.
It is unfortunate that the resumption of
the bombing of North Vietnam was not de-
ferred at least until there was some evidence
of the success or failure of the American
move in the United Nations. In fact the
good effect of the appeal to the U.N. was in
part vitiated by the prior order to resume the
bombing. Continuation of the bombing
pause would have been a far more effective
complement to the U.N. resolution than the
renewed bombing attacks on North Vietna-
mese targets, which will almost certainly
lead to further escalation of the war. More
nien, more planes, more ships, more money,
more materiel, more wounded, more dead-
these are the unmentioned but probable se-
quals to the resumption of the bombing of
North Vietnam. The course the war took
during the previous bombing raids proved
that even if the attacks slowed down infiltra-
tion from North Vietnam, they did not pre-
vent it. North Vietnamese soldiers and ma-
teriel had been going south in quantity long
before the bombing pause.
There is no reason to believe that renewed
T
bombing can bring a different result. The
United States could bomb Hanoi and Hai-
phong and even destroy all of North Vietnam
without wiping out the threat posed by
China. In fact, the danger of it ground war
with Communist China, and p;rhaps a nu-
clear world war, would thereb', be brought
considerably closer.
President Johnson argued that "if nen-
tinued immunity" were given to North Vlet-
naai, "the cost in lives-Vietnamese, Ameri-
can and allied- will be greatly increased."
But if 100,000 or even 500,000 more American
troops are sent to Vietnam, as is predicted,
many more lives are surely going to be tort.
What was a, morass is becoming a bottomless
pit..
President Johnson said that "the end of the
pause does not mean the end of our pursuit
for peace." In this he is, of course, com-
pletely sincere. The great conflict over Viet-
nam that has arisen in the United States is
precisely over the meaning of "the pursuit
for peace." A number of respected and in-
formed Senators and Representatives; mili-
tarv men like General Gavin and Ridgway;
academic specialists, teachers and clerics; and
a great many friendly foreign statesmen and
commentators, all believed and said that the
bombing of North Vietnam ought no' be
resumed. They all felt that "peace" had not
given a full and fair chance. They all fear
the consequences of the United States getting
more and more deeply involved in Vietnam.
So far as the bombing of N )rth Vietnam
is concerned, the decision has now been made.
American troops in the field must be sup-
ported; but. so must American efforts-inside
the United Nations and ouside it-to reach
an honorable settlement in order to restore
peace and self-determination in Vietnam.

OF
HON. JOHN J. ROONEY
OF NEW YORK?;
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 27, 1966
Mr. ROONEY of Nev York. Mr.
Speaker, :25 years ago the people of the
Fourth District of Arkansas sent to this
body a bright, young and aggressive at-
torney from El Dorado, Ark. Ever since
then the people of Arkansas and the
United States have greatly benefited
from the service here of the Honorable
Or-:EN HARRIS. Unfortunately, OREN is
now leaving this body to assume a seat
on the bench of the Federal District
Court in Arkansas. The House of Rep-
resentatives will sorely miss him.
For the past 8 years as chairman of
the House Interstate and Foreign Com-
Irlerce Committee OREN HARRIS has orig-
inated, fought for, and succeeded in en-
actment of legislation which touches
deeply upon the life of every person in
this country. His investigative and
legislative skills have led to progressive
laws in fields ranging from the make be-
lieve world of radio and television to
the very real worlds of public health,
commerce, and transportation. Under
his chairmanship the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee-a
very difficult one because of the sensi-
tive and complex nature of its jurisdic-
tion-has gained a stature seldom known
in the history of this body.
I think I speak for all my colleagues
here when I say that I am happy to see
the Federal judiciary gain a member
Of OREN HARRIS' stature. And I think
I also speak for them when I say I am
sad to see OREN HARris leave the House
of Representatives. We wish him god-
speed and good fortune.

been on record as opposing this type legisla-
tion since its introduction several sessions
ago.
This legislation would empower the Fed-
eral Trade Commission and the Food and
Drug Administration to adopt and enforce
rigid regulations over the packaging and
labeling of consumer nondurable goods, in-
eluding:
Control of the weights and volumes in
which goods may be packaged and sold, re-
gardless of whether existing practices are
deceptive.
Control of the sizes, shapes, and. dimen-
sions of packages.
Absolute prohibition of "cents-off" promo-
tions and the use of such label terms as
"economy size."
Control of pictorial illustrations on labels.
Specification of label terms that may be
used to describe package sizes, such as
"small," "medium.," and "large."
Requirement that sufficient Information
as to ingredients be stated on labels.
Specification of type-size and location of
net contents on labels.
In addition to foods, drugs, and cosmetics,
the law would cover hundreds of consumer
package goods, and. affect many heavy indus-
tries engaged in producing or fabricating
packaging materials.
Our association cannot support this legis-
lation for the following reasons:

duplicates provisions in the existing law.

iv
AIR ATTACKS ON NORTH VIETNAM
Mr. SYMINGTON. Mr. President,
now that the President, as a matter of
national policy, has made the decision to
renew air attacks on North Vietnam, I
would hope they would be undertaken
against more meaningful military tar-
gets. The result to us of such a change
in military policy would be a major in-
crease in the effectiveness of our conduct
of this war.
In my report to Chairmen RussELL and
PULBRIGI-IT about my recent visit to
South Vietnam, I said:
Air operations against North Vietnam have
been relatively ineffective, to the point where
these operations should not be resumed un-
less there is more target license; license to
hit such military targets as powerplants, oil
stores, docks, etc.
My conclusions in this regard were
partly the result of rereading the con-
clusions of the strategic bombing surveys
of 1945 and 1946.
It would seem that we are attacking
the least important targets most, the
more important targets less, and the
most important military targets not at
all.
I agree with some leading military au-
thorities that a real air effort to knock
out important military targets, instead
of periodic attacks on targets of far less
importance such as bridges, barracks,
and buses, might eliminate the necessity
of sending hundreds of thousands of ad-
ditional ground troops to South Vietnam.
In this way we would be using the
qualitative advantage characteristic of
our sea and air power, instead of strug-
gling with the enemy on a quantitative
basis where they are strongest, on the
ground, in Asia.
So far our attacks on North Vietnam
have been a nuisance but they have not
done any real damage to the enemy's
growing military potential.
Attacking more important North Viet-
nam military targets could be done with
the same planes and pilots that are now
being used; and would result in less cost
and less casualties in South Vietnam.

On behalf of the-National Board, YWCA,
I urge your support for a policy of con-
tinued patience and conciliation in the Viet-
nam situation. We have the deepest sym-
pathy with the President in his heavy
burden of crucial decision and are pro-
foundly anxious that he should be fortified
and encouraged to the utmost by realizing
the great public support behind his efforts
to avoid escalation and keep the spirit of
negotiation even when these efforts appear
to elicit no response as yet.

Following is copy of telegram sent to Presi-

North Vietnam will inevitably shatter
chances of peace. War with China will draw
in Soviet Russia on the side of China. We
urge that you accept the counseling of Sen-
ators FULBRIGHT, CLARK, MANSFIELD, and
others who are dedicated to the preserva.

After World War I Germany was, according
to the Versailles Treaty, to be policed to pre-
vent rearming for 20 years by the United
States, France, and England and was forbid-
den submarines forever but $90 million per
year. The U.S. Army policed Germany and
prevented them from rearming from 1918 un-
til 1924, the French Rothchilds from 1924 un-
til 1928 did the same. The English Roths-
childs paradoxically instead of preventing
Germany rearming rearmed Hitler to fight
Communistic Russia and In 1933 in violation
of the Versailles Treaty gave Hitler the right
to build 10 submarines which grew to 400 and
they would have in World War II, as in
World War I, have starved England if the
United States had not entered World War II
that the English Rothschilds started by
not policing Germany and preventing their
rearming from 1928 until 1932. After France
pulled out of Germany the Rothschild
Industries of France and England are now
selling munitions to Hanoi and our troops are
a proving ground for the developing of deadly
Russian weapons. According to trade jour-
nals L.B.J. has used up the stockpile of World
War II 1,000-pound bombs and to tool up
to make them again would cost millions of
dollars, wreck our economy and take a years
time to get started. The 1,200 tons of bombs
we dropped per day for the past year is a lot
of bombs to make every day this year. Actu-
ally the French tried to save the Rothschilds
rubber plantations in Laos but failed and
actually that is what the United States is
trying to do now. You according to my
thinking were the only sensible Senator on
the TV panel today.

Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, the fol-
lowing telegrams were received and an-
swered by me. I also ask unanimous
consent that they be printed in the REc-
one at this point.
There being no objection, the tele-
grams were ordered to be printed in the

January 31, 1966.
Senator WAYNE MORSE,
Senate Office Building,
Washington, D.C.:
Your files will indicate my support of
much of what you fought for over these
many years. Perhaps it is time you take a
back seat. America needs no disappointed
politicians to bite at her heels. President
Johnson deserves your support. Your ego
is proving your undoing.

Mr. MANUEL HERMIDA,
Rowayton, Conn.:
You will fail as did MacBeth in washing
the blood off your hands. Ordinarily I put

crackpot mail. However, you should know
better.

I disagree with everything you said on the

un-American and pro-Communist.
Dr. F. X. IPOLYI.
Dr. F. K. IPOLYI,
Saranac Lake, N.Y.:
Your wire makes you look as ridiculous as
you apparently are. Why don't you volun-
teer to substitute yourself for a drafted boy

It is our considered opinion that we must

DEDICATED SERVICE RENDERED IN
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
1)URING RECENT SNOWSTORM
Mr. MORS14. Mr. President, I want
to take a minute or two to call the atten-
tion of the Senate to the public services
being rendered in the District of Colum-
bia by a large number of dedicated pub-
lic servants who have worked on behalf
of the District of Columbia far beyond
the call of duty.
I speak for a moment as chairman of
a subcommittee of the Committee on the
District of Columbia which works closely
with the District Commissioners, the Po-
lice Department, the Fire Department,
and various welfare agencies.
I hope we are cognizant of the fact
that since the disastrous storm struck,
our District Commissioners have been at
their desks through long hours of the day
and into the night. Also, our Police De-
partment has performed great dedicated
service for all of us as has our wonderful
Fire Department.
.f have taken some time, Mr. President,
to go to the various parts of the city to
observe our Police Department and Fire
Department at work.
I wish to say to our policemen and fire-
men this morning that we are greatly
indebted to them. All of the people of
the District of Columbia are indebted to
them. The people of the District of Co-
lumbia are also indebted to the service
department in charge of cleaning the
streets.
What is being done is a herculean ef-
fort to remove this snow. A word of
commendation and. congratulation is
certainly due for the devoted public serv-?
ice that is being extended to us up and
down the line by District employees.
'T'he people whom we have hired by the
hour to work in our behalf under very
inclement weather conditions also de-
serve our thanks.
I talked with one of the Commission-
ers yesterday. He said that some of these
men have gone to work at 6 a.m. and
have worked until 9 o'clock and 10
o'clock at night with no time off for
meals except for the coffee and s:!iid-
wiches that have been handed to iooem
on the job.
'I.'.oo often in our busy lives in the ore-
cincts of the Senate we re not fallly
aware of the services beint render, ,,5 to
us by officials of the District: of Columbia
wed its employees. I am proud to ,,.and
on the flDor of the Senate today as a
member if the District of Columbia (Com-
nlittee and express my thanks and pay
this deserved tribute to not only the
Commissioners, the Police Department,
the Fire Department, the welfare :.-en-
cies, and the service department tl-oi,t is
working on the snow removal, but to each
and every one of those who have worked
so hard in behalf of all of us to mer this
emergency.
The P.RE'3iDING OFFICER (Mr.
NELSON in the chair). Is there further
morning business?
RIGHT-TO-WORK LAWS,
:i0-CALLED
Mr. VOUNU of Ohio. Mr. 'resi-
d.ent, I fully agree with the statement
of the distinguished senior Senator from
Oregon [Mr. MoesF], who urged in this
Chamber that the majority leader : hould
propose maintaining the Senate 4.-1 ses-
ion around the clock, 24 hours a day,
until such time as this prolonged dis-
cussion in depth or filibuster againss. tak-
ing up and considering repeal of erection
14(b) of the Taft-Hartley law e,n the

am one of the older U.S. Senators, but
I am certain that no one need fi:ar my
