1964 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT OF
1964-M1 MOt2.ANDUM RELATING
TO JOB CORPS
(Mr. ROOSEVELT asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. ROOSEVELT. Mr. Speaker, dur-
ing the debate in the Committee of the
Whole a letter from Mr. Adam Yar-
molinsky addressed to Mr. Joseph A.
Califano, Jr., Assistant Secretary of De-
fense, was referred to. In order that the
matter might be taken in the proper con-
text, I ask unanimous consent that the
entire memorandum be printed in the
RECORD at this point.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Cali-
fornia?
There was no objection.
The letter referred to follows:
JUNE 13, 1964.
Memorandum for Mr. Joseph A. Califano,
Jr.:
I understand from Bob McNamara that he
has designated you as our personal contact
in Defense to coordinate planning for the
proposed job corps. I appreciate very much
the interest in this program which has been
expressed by Mr. McNamara, Mr. Vance, and
yourself.
To keep you up to date on our present
thinking, we anticipate the necessity of
starting the job corps in a clearly visible way
throughout the country during the early
fall, assuming passage of our bill in the next
month or so.
We expect to start a large number of con-
servation camps within 3 months after pas-
sage of the bill. These will be spread
throughout the country in a large number
of States, based to some extent on the amount
of Federal conservation work required in each
State. Our present thinking does not in-
clude a requirement for very major logistical
support for these camps from the Defense
Department. We expect instead that the
Departments of Agriculture and Interior with
the assistance of GSA can handle a good deal
of this. There may be, however, a need to
call on Defense for provision of some initial
issues of individual clothing and equipment,
major real property items and some trans-
portation assistance, unless we are able to
get this quickly through GSA. Another area
that will be a problem and a challenge is the
provision of medical and dental support,
which I hope Defense will analyze thoroughly
in conjunction with the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. This would
help us to determine a workable solution.
During the first year, we hope to open
about 10 of the large training centers with
1,000 to 2,000 enrollees each. Here again, we
would like to make a visible, impact by open-
ing perhaps half of these in. the first 3 or 4
months after the bill passes. There are a
number of complex considerations which will
influence our decision on which of these
locations will. be selected. My staff, however,
will be able to give you our current think-
ing on these at any time you wish.
It would be, of course, very helpful if we
had some kind of preliminary engineering
surveys of possible facilities to help us in
our decision. Rehabilitation of the selected
facilities will eventually be needed to accom-
modate 1,000 or 2,000 enrollees, plus an
approximate 20 percent overhead for provi-
sional staff, administrative and logistical sup-
port. We would be interested in determin-
ing the estimated costs and leadtime for
this rehabilitation work. I realize that to
give us the major logistical support we have
contemplated may require initially the com-
mitment of Defense resources and active
military personnel to some extent. After
No. 152-11
the initial period I would hope, and I am
sure this is in accord with your desires, that
we can turn to contract support to accom-
plish as much of this as is practicable.
I hope this will give you an indictaion of
our current thinking, and that it will be of
value to you in your planning.
ADAM YARMOLINSKY.

THE LATE JUDGE ALFRED J. CI_
LIMA OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF
COOK COUNTY
(Mr. LIBONATI (at the request of Mr.
ALBERT) was granted permission to ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RzcoRD and to Include extraneous mat-
ter.)
Mr. LIBONATL Mr. Speaker, Judge
Alfred J. dells, of the circuit court of
Cook County, was one of the most popu-
lar Italo-American young leaders in the
Chicago area. His recent sudden death
was a terrific shock to the whole com-
munity. The very incident of his death
was tragic-suddenly collapsing due to
heart failure while playing golf with his
son Alfred, Jr. at the Butterfield Coun-
try Club, south of Lombard, Ill.
He received his law degree from
Northwestern University after graduat-
ing from McKinley High School and
Crane Junior College. He was a star
baseball player and received bids from
the major leagues.
He was admitted to the bar in 1935
and entered public life in 1943 as a State
representative. He became committee-
man of the 36th ward until his election
to the city council as alderman, 1951.
He was reelected in 1955 and later was
elected to the circuit bench in June 1958.
His great interest in youth activities
and their problems prepared him for a
great work in this field upon his assign-
ment to the family court where he
served for 21,42 years. His improvements
in procedures and modern concept of
youth reforms were instituted during his
judicial service there. As alderman he
was chairman of the youth commission
as well as serving on the executive board
of the Chicago Council of the Boy Scouts
of America 1955-61.
During his career he received many
honors for his civic. political and spirit-
ual leadership in many causes. In 1961,
he was given the Order of Merit of the
Italian Republic.
His whole career was based upon a
high standard of moral, honesty in deal-
ing with others. He was a quiet individ-
ual unless unduly aroused by brazen and
crazy conduct of those appearing before
him. He was fair but positive in his
thinking. Once he made up his mind
be became immovable in voicing his
decision. He came from as humble
background and knew the trials and
tribulations of the poor and unfortunate.
John Cilella was a man through and
through-and a brilliant judge who
dealt out real justice.
Although some misjudged his actions
as Indicative of puritanic reasoning-in
reality he was a man of decision-and
was unswerving in his determination to
see things through. At most levels of
human reaction to court problems he was
In reality a softy-but if the facts con-
tradicted his natural personal feelings
he became rigid and stern In carrying
out his judicial determination. He cer-
tainly was too young to die. The ma-
turity of years of experience were upon
him-his greatest work still remained
undone.
The members of the Illinois delegation
mourn his sad loss and extend to his
darling wife, Mabel, his loving children,
Alfred, Jr., and Linda Mary our heart-
felt condolences.
The citizens of the city, county and
State have lost a great leader, judge
and public servant. May God bless him
with everlasting life.
SUPPORT PRESIDENT JOHNSON IN
VIETNAM
(Mr. MONAGAN (at the request of
Mr. ALBERT) was granted permission to
extend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous mat-
ter.)
Mr. MONAGAN. Mr. Speaker, the
Committee on Foreign Affairs this morn-
ing reported out a joint resolution sup-
porting the action of President Johnson
in response to the recent attacks by
Communist North Vietnam on U.S. naval
vessels. and supporting the President's
determination "as Commander in Chief,
to take all necessary measures to repel
any armed attack against the forces of
the United States and to prevent further
aggression."
President Johnson has responded to
these unlawful attacks on our ships with
firmness and with responsibility. It is
imperative that we give him our full sup-
port and that we express our conviction
that the United States does not intend
to be badgered or frightened out of its
role as the foremost defender of freedom
in the world.
This Nation has pledged to the people
of South Vietnam that we shall protect
them from being gobbled up by the Com-
munist oppressors from the north. More
importantly we are determined under no
circumstances to countenance an attack
upon the forces of this country in inter-
national waters without taking appro-
priate action to repel the attack and pre-
vent its repetition.
Our objective has been and remains
world peace, and we must be firm in our
pursuit of that objective--even If it re-
quires strong action such as we took in
the Tonkin Gulf.
As a member of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, I had the honor of support-
ing President John F. Kennedy under
the somewhat similar circumstances of
the Cuban missile crisis. Today our
committee voted a resolution of strong
support for President Johnson as did the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I
now urge the House to confirm, by acting
favorably on this resolution, our full
support for President Johnson in taking
such measures as may be necessary to
insure the safety of this country and of
the free world.
EFFECT OF URBAN RENEWAL ON
SMALL BUSINESSES
(Mr. SISK (at the request of Mr. AL-
BERT) was granted permission to extend
his remarks at this point in the RECORD
and to include extraneous matter.)
Mr. SISK. Mr. Speaker, from time to
time we have both heard and read about
the supposed adverse effect that urban
renewal Is having on small businesses.
In my home city of Fresno, we have
several urban renewal projects under-
way, and in connection with our down-
town project, a survey was made by the
Fresno Redevelopment Agency of 75 busi-
nesses which had moved from the project
area as of February 25, 1964.
In brief, this survey shows that 51 of
the 75 businesses have reestablished. Of
these, 33 relocated within the project
area--10 of whom selected temporary
