PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 90 CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION
WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1968 No. 163
Senate
The Senate met at 10 a.m., and was
called to order by the President pro tem-
pore.
Rev. Edward B. ? Lewis, D.D., pastor,
Capitol Hill United Methodist Church,
Washington, D.C., offered the following
prayer:
Gracious dod, we remember with hope
the words of Holy Scripture, "With God
all things are possible."
We know that any condition can be
changed by faith in ourselves and our
fellow men based on faith in Thee. Thus,
we pray for the healing of the nations of
this world.
First, we pray for our own healing.
Administer to us a love that will prepare
our hearts and minds to help and un-
derstand others. Give us a new dose of
the medicine of repentent hearts and
humble dependence. May we feel the re-
lief of forgiving grace relieving our
troubled conscience.
Pour upon this world of war and frus-
tration the balm of peace from the source
of all life-Thou God, the ruler and
healer of us all. We find new hope when
we find our faith in Thee. We pray in
the Master's name. Amen.
THE JOURNAL
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the reading of
the Journal of the proceedings of
Wednesday, October 2, 1968, be dispensed
with.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT
Messages in writing from the President
of the United States submitting nomi-
nations were communicated to the Sen-
ate by Mr. Leonard, one of his secre-
taries.
EXECUTIVE MESSAGES REFERRED
As in executive session,
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid
before the Senate messages from the
President of the United States submit-
ting sundry nominations, which were re-
ferred to the Committee on Armed Serv-
ices.
(For nominations this day received,
see the end of Senate proceedings.)
LIMITATION ON STATEMENTS DUR-
ING TRANSACTION OF ROUTINE
MORNING BUSINESS
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that statements. in
relation to the transaction of routine
morning business, be limited to 3 min-
utes.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
COMMITTEE MEETING DURING
SENATE SESSION
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the Committee
on Aeronautical and Space Sciences be
authorized to meet during the session of
the Senate today.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent to have printed at
this point in the RECORD a press release
I prepared on the basis of the letter sent
to the President by Mr. Justice Fortas
requesting the withdrawal of his nomi-
nation as Chief Justice of the United
States, and the acceptance of that letter
by the President.
There being no objection, the press
release was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
The necessity on the part of Associate Jus-
tice Fortas to withdraw his name is regretta-
ble and unfortunate. It is regrettable be-
cause Mr. Fortas was not given the opportu-
nity to have his name considered on the basis
of merit. It is unfortunate because of the
manner in which he was denied this oppor-
tunity. A dangerous precedent has been in-
stituted by the Senate in this matter which
may afflict not only future nominations for
the Supreme Court but all other Presidential
appointments.
In a Constitutional sense this could be a
sad day for the doctrine of separation of
powers as it has been maintained since the
founding of the nation.
The Leadership understands the action of
Mr. Justice Fortes and respects his wishes.
It will abide by his request and the Presi-
dent's decision. I know that Mr. Justice For-
tas will continue to serve the nation by
giving of his outstanding qualities and ca-
pabilities to the Supreme Court where he has
already served with distinction.
ORDER OF BUSINESS
Mr. JACKSON. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that I may proceed
for. 12 minutes.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. With-
out objection it is so ordered.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA AND WESTERN
SECURITY
Mr. JACKSON. Mr. President, there
have been 'those in recent years who
argued that the Soviet Union was on an
irreversible course toward more moder-
ate policies, and that detente was here
to stay. We were told that "the cold war
is history," that "the threat of military
aggression by the Communists in Europe
has all but vanished."
As my colleagues in the Senate know,
I have not shared this optimistic view.
But whether we have been optimistic
or pessimistic about Russian policy, the
brutal invasion of Czechoslovakia has
been a sobering experience for all of us.
It evokes memories of comparable acts in
other years-the Nazi military occupa-
tion of Czechoslovakia in 1938-39, and
the Kremlin takeover of Czechoslovakia
in 1948.
Our task now, as I see it, is th keep our
eye on what is going on in the real world,
on what our Soviet adversary is up to,
and then be sure we undertake_ appropri-
ate actions.
I
Mr. President, let us look at the mili-
tary situation in central Europe as it
actually is today, not as we might wish it
were. The cold fact is that the military
balance in central Europe has been very.
significantly altered, to the disadvan-
tage of the West.
Within the past 2 months, the Soviets
have mobilized several hundred thousand
additional men. They have added at least
10 combat-ready divisions to the forces
they previously had deployed in the cen-
tral European area.
The U.S.S.R. has brought into being
extensive support and logistic services to
sustain the forward deployed forces. It
has established, and is exercising on a
continuing basis, improved and expanded
lines of communication for the support
of military operations in central Europe.
Moscow has undertaken this massive
expansion of its military capability in

Europe while continuing to increase the
forces deployed along the Soviet frontier
with China.
The Soviets now have in central
Europe the largest and most readily
usable combat force they have put into
the field since World War II. It is a force
that has the capability for further moves.
And there is no indication that this ex-
panded force is Soon going to return
home.-Even now, Soviet troops in Czecho-
slovakia are preparing winter quarters..
With this grim picture in mind, what
can we say about Soviet intentions
toward Rumania, Yugoslavia, and Aus-
tria? At this stage, I do not think any of
us can be sanguine.
Certainly we cannot discount the dan-
gers that the course of suppression and
counteraction in East Europe will pro-
duce new crises spilling over the borders
of East European states. There is always
the possibility that Moscow may try to
restore some unity to the Warsaw Pact
nations by manufacturing a major crisis
centered on Berlin and West Germany.
I expect'to see some repercussions of
recent events in the policy councils of
the Soviet Union. I would not be too
surprised at some shifts in the Politburo
that could portend still more difficulties
for the Western nations. There are al-
ready some indications of a move to the
right within the Kremlin.
Nor is the prospect reassuring in the
Middle East and north Africa. Will the
Soviet leaders seek to step up Arab-
Israeli tensions? Will they promote
greater Algerian pressure on its neigh-
bor states?
Nor does the bitter rivalry between
Moscow and Peking necessarily presage
"less troubles for the free world. In fact,
China's brand of communism is gen-
erating pressures on Moscow to demon-
strate its own forms of militancy. And
we cannot assume that Moscow and
Peking are headed for a final separation.
Some reconciliation is conceivable in the
post-Mao period.,
I think we can all agree that the future
is filled with grave uncertainties and con-
tinuing perils for free nations and the
cause of individual liberty. It was difficult
enough to do business with the U.S.S.R.,
to identify areas, of shared interests and
to make progress in those areas, before
Czechoslovakia. This most recent demon-
stration of Soviet suppression surely
does not make our problems easier.
n
In all this the growing productive
power of the Soviet Union is a factor of
great significance. With its large com-
mand economy the U.S.S.R. can now
produce across-the-board capabilities
that enable the Kremlin to move simul-
,taneously on many fronts: increased
consumer goods and services for Soviet
citizens; a massive space program; aid
to other Communist nations-including
substantial support for North Vietnam;
and a steady rise in its defense budget,
permitting it to build a large and diversi-
fied arsenal of sophisticated weapons.
Of special significance is Moscows for-
midable olive to reach a level of nuclear
parity with the United States. This is
a very serious worry.
The Soviets are increasing their ICBM
force at a very fast rate. The number
of operational ICBM's targeted against
the United States has nearly tripled in
the last 2 years. The evidence I have
indicates the Soviets will have rough
parity with the United States in opera-
tional land-based missiles within a year
or so, and that they intend to surpass
us in numbers of ICBM's shortly. By
the mid-1970's, about 80 percent of Soviet
ICBM's will be in dispersed single silos;
2 years ago the bulk of the force was
in vulnerable soft sites or in clustered
silos. Also, the larger missile payload the
Soviets can mount on their bigger ICBM's
gives them the capability to deploy
higher yield nuclear warheads per missile
than we can.
In addition, Moscow has in full swing
the production of the new 16-tube Po-
laris-type submarine, and the number of
submarine-launched ballistic missiles
available to the U.S.S.R. in mid-1970
will be two and a half times the level of
1966. It is likely that their goal is a sea-
borne nuclear force comparable to our
own Polaris capability.
At the same time, the Soviet leaders
are deploying the Galosh defensive mis-
sile system in the Moscow area and our
best intelligence is that they are continu-
ing to build and improve their ballistic
missile defense.
The U.S.S.R. is also making heavy in-
vestments in mobile long-range forces
capable of conventional operations at ex-
tended distances from its own borders.
Soviet ships are no longer confined to
the Russian coastal areas of the Baltic
and Arctic Oceans and the Black Sea;
Moscow has boldly extended its naval
strength into the Mediterranean Sea,
the Indian Ocean, and also into the Per-
sian Gulf.
Even when the Russians have been in
a condition vis-a-vis the West of ad-
mitted inferiority in strategic power and
in mobile long-range capabilities, Moscow
has periodically pressed forward policies
designed to extend its influence and to
push history along the path of Soviet ex-
pectations. One recalls the repeated
threats to the freedom of Berlin, the Cu-
ban missile venture and now the ruthless
subjugation of Czechoslovakia.
In past Soviet adventures, the strate-
gic inferiority. of Soviet power has set
limits to the extent of the risks that
Moscow was willing to run. It is disquiet-
ing to contemplate the still more danger-
ous range of risks which the Kremlin
might accept in the future if it was con-
fident of being closer to an equal-
ity or a superiority of overall deter-
rent strength-however that is measured
in terms of the ratio between offensive
and defensive nuclear systems-and also
possessed a local superiority of force in
the area of intervention. The stage would
be set for the most perilous kind of con-
frontations-showdowns between nuclear
powers in which Moscow did not feel fully
deterred by our nuclear forces.
Mr. President, the Soviet Union is a
dangerous and unpredictable adversary.
We cannot be confident that a Soviet
Union that spearheads a five-nation in-
tervention in Czechoslovakia will not use
military force in pursuing its objectives
in other situations, when it believes this
can be done without incurring unaccept-
able risks.
In the wake of Czechoslovakia,. there is
no excuse for any American to ignore the
first priority of American policy. And the.
first priority in this uncertain and dan-
gerous world is to maintain ?a greater nu-
clear power and strength than the Soviet
Union. Strategic parity with the Soviet
adversary is not good enough. The sur-
vival of our Nation and our allies in free-
dom depends not on a parity of nuclear
power but on a margin of advantage in
nuclear power for the peace-keepers over
the peace-upsetters.
Our aim is not, of course, an unlim-
ited accumulation of nuclear weapons.
Our policy should be to create and main-
tain a relationship of nuclear forces fa-
vorable to the deterrence of adventurism
and aggression.
In this connection, I commend Secre-
tary Clifford for going forward with the
tests of the MIRV principle and for pro-
ceeding, without delay, in the deploy-
ment of the Sentinel ABM. Also, given
the rapid buildup of Soviet offensive nu-
clear strength, this country must
promptly provide for a new generation
of ICBM's with a larger payload and for
more advanced Poseidon-type nuclear
submarines.
III
We have been told that if we concede
nuclear parity to the Soviets, we will be
in a better position to persuade the Soviet
Union to limit or reduce their nuclear
arms. I do not accept this notion. On the
contrary; I believe the Soviets are less
likely to engage in productive arms limi-
tation talks if we let our margin of stra-
tegic advantage go by default. All of us
should understand by now that the way
to encourage a reasonable response from
Moscow is to maintain strong positions
which make negotiated agreements more
attractive . to them than continued dis-
agreements.
Quite obviously, the assault on Czecho-
slovakia has set back the prospects for
top-level East-West discussions on the
control and limitation of nuclear offen-
sive and defensive forces. We will con-
tinue to hope for such discussions-at a
proper time under appropriate circum-
stances.
If and when such arms talks material-
ize, however, we and our allies should be
prepared to bargain toughly. The pro-
ductive power of the Soviet economy is
not nearly as great as that of the Amer-
ican economy. Any big expenditures on
a new generation of nuclear weapons
puts greater pressures on the Soviet
economy than on ours and means greater
sacrifices for the Russians than for us.
In possible negotiations with the Soviets,
we should not give up the idea of a mar-
gin of safety for the free - world in
nuclear power. .
And in the aftermath of the Czech in-
vasion, I hope that we will be more vigi-
lant than ever in insisting upon adequate
safeguards in any armaments agree-
ments we may negotiate with Moscow.
What we and our allies are after in any
arms talks with the U.S.S.R. is a system
of limitation and control of armaments

that will reduce existing risks in the
world without introducing new ones. Ob-
viously, we should avoid entrusting our
security to any agreements with the
Soviet Union that are not self-enforcing,
or that cannot be effectively enforced at
every stage.
Iv
Mr. President, the struggle in Vietnam
is very important and clearly requires
much of our national thought and effort.
We want to end not just the bombing
of the North; we want to end the war.
We are trying to achieve a political set-
tlement on honorable terms that would
not increase the danger of a later, larger
conflict in Asia. But it is high time that
we in this country again gave the prob-
lems of Europe the close and sustained
attention they deserve.
The North Atlantic area is still the
most decisive region for the future of
this Nation. The strength and mutual
confidence of the Atlantic allies are the
single most important safeguard of peace
with freedom in the Western World.
It is of fundamental importance that
this country meet its responsibilities in
the Atlantic Alliance with the mature
judgment that marks a great nation.
Given the lightning-like Czech inva-
sion, it is now necessary to reexamine
the assumption of Western defense plan-
ners that there would be early "political
warning" of a Soviet conventional mili-
tary move against NATO. The.assump-
tion of early warning-warning that
would give us time to get our forces back
to Germany-was behind the decision
announced last year to redeploy 35,000
U.S. NATO-assigned troops from Ger-
many to the United States. Also, NATO's
heavy reliance on mobilization arrange-
ments has. been justified on the ground
that there would be ample political warn-
ing of attack.
Yet in the Czech crisis, until the mo-
ment of assault, the political signals from
Moscow were at best ambiguous. The So-
viet leaders used Warsaw Pact maneuv-
ers to conceal plans for the invasion. The
discussions inside the Kremlin were se-
cret and thoroughly guarded.. The five-
nation move on the morning of August 21
took almost everybody by surprise.
With the military balance in central
Europe ? now significantly changed to
the disadvantage of the West, it makes
no sense to talk about any early reduc-
tion in the ready combat capability of
NATO forces in Europe. All NATO mem-
bers should stop discussing cutbacks and
redeployments and start preparing to
carry, for as far ahead as one can see,
their full share in the forward defense
of Europe.'
As a starter, the proposed reductions
in force contributions by certain Euro-
pean governments and by Canada should
be suspended and concrete steps should
be taken by our NATO partners to
strengthen and improve the readiness of
their NATO-assigned forces. For our
part, we should move promptly to bring
American combat units in Europe up
to full strength, return needed special-
ists and longer experienced officers, and
increase the scale and quality of U.S.
troop training and maneuvers in Europe.
Looking ahead, we can reasonable ex-
pest our European allies to share more of
the common load in the defense of Eu-
rope. What is needed is a NATO program
for the orderly and fair adjustment over
a period of years of burden- sharing
among all the Atlantic allies. This task
is at the heart of effective force plan-
ning under the North Atlantic Council
and its Defense Planning Committee.
I believe it is time for a European ini-
tiative to get such a NATO program
underway.
v
Mr. President, the occupation of
Czechoslovakia may clear the air in an-
other respect. We are often told to cut
back key defense programs because they
divert funds from urgent homefront
tasks. Certainly, the attack on poverty
and the drive to overcome the remaining
barriers to full and equal participation
in American life of all our citizens are
urgent. I, for one, am no recent convert
to this point bf view. Over the years I
have sponsored and fought for liberal
legislation to improve the plight of the
poor, to protect the health of all our peo-
ple, and to open up educational oppor-
tunities to every American child. We
should do many more things for justice
and fairness at home. We will. But make
no mistake about it: we will not be able
to keep building a better America at
home unless we also attend to our fun-
damental security requirements abroad.
A sound national policy, of course,
rests on an understanding that the
Nation's resources are limited. Our
capabilities must be committed with
discrimination and prudence.
But unless Americans are prepared to
accept the responsibilities of a great
Nation in the fateful and difficult years
ahead, the problems can become worse
and worse and the international crises
finally unmanageable.
Winston Churchill said the right words
to us:
The price of greatness is responsibility.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. JACKSON. I yield.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, I wish
to highly commend the distinguished
Senator from Washington for his
thoughtful speech. It presents for all
of us a serious challenge.

"Whereas, on September 28, 1964, the Sec-
retary of the Interior promulgated Secre-

the Congress of Micronesia and granting to
it certain legislative authority; and

the power of the Congress of Micronesia to
appropriate revenues raised pursuant to the

"Whereas, since the United States provides
the bulk of funds required to administer the
