There was described in some of the
correspondence I have had with
agencies and I am sure he has copies of
it, but I did not get all the answers-a
case In which the Redwood National
Bank of California was trying to obtain
a charter for a bank. It filed its applica-
tion for a charter on June 22, 1962.
This charter was filed by the Redwood
National Bank of Sari Rafael, Calif. The
application was routinely filed by its at-
torney, Mr. Roderick Martinelli.
The bank's application for a charter
was approved on September 15, 1962.
The bank opened Its doors on January
5,1963:. :.
'What gives me concern and the ques-
tion 1 have is:- After the application had
been filed, one of the corporate officers
wa, advised by their attorney Mr.
Martinelli, that one of the friends or
relatives of one of the proposed stock-
hhglcders of` the bank had told him that in
order to get the charter approved it
would bebetter"'to hire a Washington
lobbyist at '$5 0. --He could not say
why it was necessary.
Anywthey had to have the charter,
so they agree-to-pay-the $5,000 to the
Washington lobbyist who presumably
could help them.
V hen the check was sent to this Wash-
ington lobbyist, the check was made out
to, him but it was not mailed to him.
On the contrary the check was left in
faker s office After 'the check was left
in Baker's office the lobbyist came in and
indorsed the check. After he had en-
doxsed it the reeors `show that Bobby
Baker took the check- and went down to
Mr. Brenkworth's` office in the Senate
Disbursing_ Of ce and cashed it and that
Maker picked up 50 $100 bills for the
check
Now where and why did Mr. Baker
enter Into this transaction?
T1#d heget a part o_ -the fee, or just
what was is part"
I understand that the lobbyist says he
`ultimately got all of the money. To
what extent did _the ' committee call on
the; bank or the lobbyist to get all the
detils" of this strange transaction? By
"the" way, ` this lobbyist was-a former em-
ployee of the Senate, so both could be
Called. To what extent did the com-
mittee pursue that line? I was very
much concerned that any bank would
feel obliged to pay_``$5,000 in this manner.
I checked with the Comptroller of the
Currency, Mr Saxon and -have a letter
from him in which he states that at no
time did he everea
hrfrom either Mr.
Baker or the lobbyist to whom reference
was made.' 1e di"d not know that they
were even lawyers of record. So, appar-
ently they received `$5,000 for doing
nothing.
I" am wondering who it was that
thought it, was necessary `to pay this
$5,000 to get a, charter to this bank and
who did really" get the money.
Did the committee question Mr. Baker
on this strange deal?
I know the committee was aware of
this transaction long before 1 found it.
have the greatest respect for the Sen-
ator from North Carolina. He has some
information in his files, or at least the
committee has, which contains the an-
No.143-9
swers I should like to get. Surely he
would not overlook the significance of the
$5,000 check paid to a Washington
lobbyist to get a charter, and particu-
larly when the committee was advised
that Mr. Baker cashed the check.
Mr. JORDAN of North Carolina. In
answer to the Senator's question, I am
sorry, but that is something that I had
not heard of before. I know nothing
about it. If the Senator would give us
more information, I assure the Senator
that it will be checked. We still have
two investigators on the committee-one
Republican and one Democrat. I know
that one is Republican. I do not know
what the other one is.
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. I re-
spectfully suggest that the Senator check
with his investigators. This information
has been in their possession for some
time, and they must have had my cor-
respondence.
Mr. JORDAN of North Carolina.
What does the Senator mean by stating
they had copies of them?
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. Perhaps
it would have been far better if we had
kept it on the basis of not trying to inter-
cept my mail before I got it.
Mr. JORDAN of North Carolina. I re-
sent that statement. I did not intercept
anything. The committee did not inter-
cept anything.
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. Copies
of my mail have been sent to the com-
mittee, and I know it is a fact that the
committee did have some information in
connection with the cashing of this
$5,000 check. I do not mean that the
Senator personally knew it, but whether
the committee staff got it and figured it
was not worth very much in the way of
information, I do not know. The check,
however, was made out to a Washington
lobbyist who the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency said did nothing whatever to earn
the money as far as he was concerned.
The check was delivered to Bobby
Baker's office. It was endorsed by the
lobbyist and Bobby Baker cashed it and
picked up 50 $100 bills in the Disbursing
Office.
Mr. JORDAN of North Carolina. I
am glad to receive that information.
The staff might have had the informa-
tion. I do not know.
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. The in-
formation is there. Once again I point
out that we cannot legislate morals. We
know that. We cannot pass a bill which
would require a man to file an accurate
financial return. We can require the
filing of a financial statement listing his
assets and liabilities. We can require
the riling of an income tax return. The
two together, if they are properly filed,
would give the select committee the prop-
er authority and material with which it
could do the job of preventing a recur-
rence of the Bobby Baker situation by
anyone else in the future who may want
to exploit the use of his public office.
I think the very least the Senate could
do is to adopt my amendment which, in
my opinion, will definitely give the com-
mittee all the power it needs to break up
the skulduggery that might be going on.
And any attempted influence peddling
could be picked up In the initial stages.

Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. I yield.
Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, I have
not listened to all of the remarks of the
Senator this afternoon. But I have lis-
tened to many of them. As the Senator
knows, I have always been interested in
procedural reform that would be much
broader in scope than the amendment
the Senator from Delaware is offering.
The Senator knows that ever since
1946 I have sought to have whatever dis-
closure legislation was passed be broad
enough to cover the executive branch
and the judicial branch as well as the
legislative branch of our Government. I
still think that we ought to come to grips
with this matter by passing a bill-not
a resolution, but a bill-that would in
effect accomplish what the Senator has
in mind.
I do not think that limiting it to the
Senate is sufficient. I do not think it is
fair to give the people of the country the
impression that there is only one branch
of our Government-namely the Senate
of the United States-that ought to be
brought under a full disclosure bill. I
think it ought to. extend it to all Fed-
eral employees. Human failings being
what they are, we will find those failings
in all branches of the Government.
After 20 years here, I say that I am
proud to serve in the Senate of the
United States.
I think the rotten apples in the Senate
barrel have been very, very few in those
20 years. It is an honorable group of
men and women who I am proud to serve
with at the present time. If there are
any misdoings that any of them are
guilty of they should be disclosed. I am
for legislation that will disclose any such
conduct In all branches of the Federal
Government.
Relevant to that, although not directly
in point as far as the Senator's resolu-
tion is concerned, but bearing upon the
observation that I have just made about
this matter of human failings in gov-
ernment as well as in all other branches
of human activity I have a news clipping
I wish to read. If we were to try to apply
the same standards to American business
that the Senator from Delaware suggests
and I think they ought to be applied to
Government officials, we would be quite
surprised at how many business execu-
tives would be found wanting.
I have just taken off the ticker a little
item that I thought the Senator from
Delaware would be interested in. It
reads:
WAsnINoTON.-Government aud~tors said
today the Air Force built a golf course and
riding stables with $272,000 that Congress
thought was being used for a new airbase
runway.
The General Accounting Office accused the
Air Force of playing fast and loose with the
law and its own rules in construction of the
recreational facilities at Lockbourne Air
Force Base, Ohio.
The GAO auditors said much the same
kind of operation was found in the construc-
tion of a parking lot for the officers swim-
ming pool at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.,
and a dog and cat hospital at Lockbourne.
The Air Force conceded that reports to
Congress on the Lockbourne golf course may
not have represented adequate disclosure;

but upheld the legality of Its actions. The
Defense Department said Its directives gov-
erntng such construction were being revised
to make afire the rules would not be m1s-
Interpreted In tllelu .ure.
As the Senator from ,Delaware knows,
we cone antly receive the kind of alibi
by way of a defense which the Air Force
offers once again in this instance. The
military got caught with their hands in
the cookie jar. Now they are going to
revise the rules so that the cookie Jar
will at least be higher on the shelf and
'It 'will be more difficult for them to get
their , hands In it the next time.
I rea4 ;this news item because I think
It is apropos. I think that what we need
to face up to Is What I have been trying
to aFco fish for the last 18 years, ever
`since first introduced my disclosure
btll In 1946-to get a uniform rule that
would be applicable to all three branches
of the Government. I think it ought to
be done by way of a bill, and not by way
of a resolution limited in scope to the
Senate of the United States but if that is
the best we can pass now I shall vote
'for it.
So our only difference is as to the pro-
cedural approach t?'we ought to make.
But there is too much misconduct of
the `type I have pointed out. This is
merely a little introductory statement
to a bill of particulars that I shall pre-
-tent before the week is over in connection
with the shocking waste of the taxpayers'
dollars in connection with the whole
iXilitary aid program, as well as other
features of our foreign aid program.
What goes on, here, as the item on the
ticker shows, exists all over the world on
the, part of the Pentagon Building. As a
result, the American people have been
fleeced ? by the Pentagon Building out of
hundreds of millions of dollars for years.
Mr'. of Delaware. I thank
the Senator front Oregon. Normally, I
would not agree that the Senate should
be singled out alone, but we are dealing
with a situation where we have a resolu-
tion dealingonly with the Senate. That
Is the reason that my amendment deals
only with the Senate. I do so with full
recognition that we will not have solved
the problem, until we lay down some
ground rules for the House as well as
the Senate.
I wish to emphasize before I conclude
that I concur with the Senator. I am
proud of, my, membership in the U.S.
Senate. , ;.agree wholly that merely be-
cause we have a rotten apple does not
mean that the finger of scorn should be
pointed at all of us. ,
I am not presenting this argument to-
any politi-
cal party. That political party can only
be indicted when it falls to meet Its re-
sponsibility. 1 ,am not unmindful of the
fact that we ,hare. had corruption over
the years udder the Republican adminis-
tration as well as under the. Democratic
administration. We, had the Teapot
Dome scandal, as I mentioned the other
clay. I regret it very much. I would re-
sent anyone using that as an indictment
of the Republican Party. I certainly do
not join in any such indictment, and I
know the Senator from Oregon feels the
Same way.
As a result of my 18 years of service.
I am far more convinced now than I was
when I came to Washington that the
overwhelming percer 4age of the Ameri-
?cari people, whether they be in Govern-
ment or out of government, whether they
be on the Democratic side of the aisle
or on the Republican side of the aisle,
in the Senate or in the executive branch,
are honest and law-abiding citizens who
are trying to do a good job. Unfortu-
nately we have a few who forget that
public office Is a public trust, and It
Is for those cases that we must create and
establish groundrules.
We are all In here, and we have the
same objective. It is In that spirit that
I have offered the amendment.
Before yielding the floor, I should like
to ask for the yeas and nays on the
amendment.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
RIOTS IN ROCHESTER, N.Y.
Mr. KEA't'ING. Mr. President, will
the Senator from Oregon yield for a brief
statement?
Mr. MORSE. I shall yield only with
the understanding that I shall not lose
my right to the floor. I should like to
make a preliminary statement. I shall
make a very brief report to the Senate
with regard to the Conference of Foreign
Ministers of the Western Hemisphere
that has Just been completed. I agreed
that I would make the report earlier to-
day, but it has been impossible to make
it earlier. I am perfectly willing to yield
to the Senator with the understanding
that I do not lose my right to the floor.
My report will not take more than 10 or
15 minutes when I make it.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. KEATING. I appreciate that
very much.
I wish to make a short report to the
Senate on the very unfortunate happen-
ings in my home city of Rochester, N.Y.,
which this weekend was the scene of
rioting and disorder unprecedented In the
city's history.
With the aid of local, county, and
State police as well as the National
Guard, It appears today that the dis-
turbances have been quelled. It is hoped
that In this calm after the storm we will
be able rations and with deliberation
to survey what happened, what has
caused this violence, and to take steps to
see that such incidents will not recur,
Rochester, like many cities in this Na-
tion. has had its problems. But no prog-
ress can be made in dealing with any
grievances which exist until law and or-
der are restored.
Lawlessness is the very antithesis of
freedom and must not be accepted as?a
legitimate means of achieving a goal
when other lawful means exist.
No one can sanction such methods to
bring whatever grievances exist to the
attention of the public. Violence can
only serve to alienate the support of men
of good will which is essential to prog-
ress.
Violence did not bring about the pas-
sage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964-the
greatest stride forward for Negroes in
July 27
100 years. It was the patience, determi-
nation, and hard work of many-both
white and Negro-which effected its pas-
sage.
America is a land where the rule of
law prevails, a nation where the ballot
box and the conference table have been
the most effective instruments of change.
Extremists who believe that any means
Justify the end are acting in defiance of
our whole tradition of liberty under law.
Responsible civil rights leaders have
condemned the riots and violence.
Roy Wilkens, the head of the NAACP,
has said that hoodlums who assault, de-
stroy, and steal disgrace the thousands
of dedicated young people who went
peacefully to jail to advance freedom for
20 million American Negroes. These
riots must be condemned in the strongest
terms. Respect for the rule of law must
be restored. Every possible step must
be taken to prevent irresponsible ele-
ments in our country from engendering
hatred and setting back the cause of
civil rights for many decades.
I am very appreciative of the Sena-
tors yielding to me for the purpose of
making this brief statement, which I felt
I should make because this is my home,
and I am deeply troubled by the events
of the last 3 days.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Oregon yield to me briefly?
Mr. MORSE. I yield with the under-
standing that I shall not lose my right to
the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I wish
merely to state, because this Is uniquely
the home territory of my colleague, that
I should like to join with him in sup-
porting the statement which he has
made, which I hope for the people of
Rochester-and this goes for the great
majority of the Negroes in Rochester-
will represent the views of both New
York Senators. I thank the Senator for
uttering them in his usual able and elo-
quent way.
Mr. KEATING. I am very grateful to
my colleague and the Senator. from
REPORT OF THE NINTH MEETING
OF CONSULTATION OF MINIS-
TERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, the
ninth meeting of Consultation of Min-
isters of Foreign Affairs, serving as organ
of consultation in application of the In-
ter-American Treaty of Reciprocal As-
sistance, was held in Washington, D.C.,
at the Pan-American Union Building, on
July 21-26, 1964.
Mr. President, as time I am sure will
show, this was truly a historic meeting.
The head of the American delegation
was the very able Secretary of State
Dean Rusk. As I pointed out on the floor
of the Senate last week in a preliminary
report of the conference, at which time
I inserted in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
the major address made by Secretary
Rusk in his representation of the United
States at the conference, our Secretary
of State served with great distinction
throughout the conference. In fact, I

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
The Ninth Meeting of Consultation of Min-
isters of Foreign -.Affairs. Serving as Organ

American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
Having seen the report of the Investigat-
ing Committee designated on December 3,
19f13, by the Council of the Organization of
American States, acting provisionally as
Organ of Consultation, and
Considering: That the said report estab-
lishes among its conclusions that "the Re-
public of Venezuela has been the target of a
series of actions sponsored and directed by
the Governmentof Cuba, openly intended to
subvert Venezuelan Institutions and to over-
throw the democratic Government of Vene-
zuela through terrorism, sabotage, assault,
and guerrilla warfare," and
That the aforementioned acts,, like all acts
of intervention and aggression, conflict with
the principles and aims of the Inter-Ameri-
can system.
Resolves:
1. To declare that the acts verified by the
Investigating Committee constitute an
aggression and an intervention on the part
of the Government of Cuba in the internal
affairs of Venezuela, which affects all of the
member states.
2. To condemn emphatically the present
Government of Cuba for Its acts of aggres-
sion and of intervention against the terri-
torial inviolability, the sovereignty, and the
political independence of Venezuela.

stitute a danger to the peace and security
of the hemisphere.
5. To warn the Government of Cuba that
If It should persist in carrying out acts that
possess characteristics of aggression and in-
tervention against one or more of the member
States of the Organization, the member
states shall preserve their essential rights
as sovereign states by the use of self-defense
in either individual orcollective form, which
could go so far as resort to armed force,
until such time as the Organ of Consulta-
tion takes measures to guarantee the peace-
and security of the hemisphere.
6. To urge those states not members of
the Organization of American States that
are animated by the same Ideals as the inter-
American system to examine the possibility

the Organization of American States to
transmit to the United Nations Security

Whereas:
The preamble to the Charter of the Orga-
nization of American States declares that,
"the historic mission of America Is to offer
to man a land of liberty, and a favorable
environment for the development of his per-
sonality and the realization of his just
aspirations"; and that "the true significance
of American solidarity and good neighborli-
ness can only mean the consolidation on this
continent, within the framework of demo-
cratic Institutions, ' of a system of individ-
ual liberty and social justice based on respect
for the essential rights of man";
The Charter of the Organization declares
that the the solidarity of the American
states and the high purposes toward which It
is dedicated demand that the political orga-
nization of these states be based on the
effective exercise of representative de-
mocracy:
The Charter also proclaims "the funda-
mental rights of the individual" and re-
affirms that the "education of peoples should
be directed toward justice, freedom, and
peace.,
The Declaration of Santiago, Chile,

tion of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and
signed by the present Cuban Government,

Approved For Release 2005/01/27 : CIA-RDP66B00403R000200170029-9
America in the effective exercise of repre-
sentative democracy is *the beet vehicle for
the promotion of their social and political
.progress (Resolution XCV of the Tenth In-
ter-American Conference), while well-
planned and intensive development of the
ecohomies of, the American countries and
improvement' in the standard of living of
their peoples represent the -best and firm-
est foundation on which the practical exer-
cise pt democracy and the stabilization of
their institutions can be established;
The Ninth Ynternational' Conference of
American States" condemned "the methods of
every system tending to suppress political
and civil rights and liberties, and in par-
tioular the action of international commu-
nism or any other totalitarian, doctrine";
The present Government -of Cuba, iden-
tifying itself with the principles of Marx-
ist-Leninist ideology; has established a po-
litical, economic, and social system alien to
the democratic and Christian traditions of
`the American family of nations and contrary
to hg r ncipTes of juridical organization
upon` ich_ rest: the security and peaceful
harmonious relatloons of the peoples of the
hemisphere; and
The exclusion of the present Government
Of Cuba from participation in the inter-
American system, by virtue of the provisions
of Resolution Vf of the Eighth Meeting of
Consultation of Ministers of 'Foreign Affairs,
by no means"signifies any intention to deny
the Cuban people their rightful place in the
nuirugity of American peoples;
vQThe plinth feting of Consultation of Min-
isters of Foreign Affairs, Serving as Organ of
Consultation in Application of the Inter-
erican Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
declares
That the free peoples of the Americas are
convinced that the inter American system
offers to the Cuban people unequaled con
ditions or, the realization of" their ideals of
Pence, liberty, and social and economic prog-
ress; . .
That. the peoples belonging to the inter-
American eystem are in complete sympathy
with the C Can people in all heir sufferings,
in the f ica o th total loss of their liberty

of a lal s stem that was op

bility, and
That, within this spirit of solidarity, the
free peoples bf America "cannot and must

Expresses:
1, Itc profound concern for the fate of the
brother people of Cuba
."Its deepest hope that the Cuban people,

that oppresses them and to establish in that

III. REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC
COORDINATION
Whereas:
The objectives of liberty and democracy
that inspire the inter-American system,
threatened as they are by communist sub-
version, cannot be fully attained if the
peoples of the states that compose it lack
adequate and sufficient means for bringing
about vigorous social progress and better
standards of living;
The persistence of a situation In which the
world Is divided into areas of poverty and
plenty is a serious obstacle to any possibil-
ity that may present Itself in the American
hemisphere for achieving an economically
more just society;
Harmonious and decisive action is indis-
pensable, In both the regional and the inter-
national spheres, to combat the causes of
economic underdevelopment and social back-
wardness, since prosperity and world peace
based on the freedom of man cannot be
achieved unless all the American countries
attain equality in the economic and social
field;
In particular, the continued existence of
such a 'State of underdevelopment and
poverty among large sectors of mankind,
which becomes more acute in spite of the
world increase in wealth and the advance of
science and technology from which these sec-
tors cannot derive full benefit; encourages
the subversive action of international com-
munism;
The countries of Latin America expressed
their aspirations In the Charter of Alta
Gracia and declared their determined in-
tention to work together to build a better
world in which there will be a more equit-
ablo distribution of income;
The Conference on Trade and Develop-
ment, held recently in Geneva, provided, a
forum fora full discussion of the problems
Of international economips,and established-
the basis for adequate solutions to problems
arising in the fields of raw materials, manu-
factured products, and international fi-
nancing; and
The instruments adopted at the two afore-
mentioned meetings supplement and perfect
those signed at the Special Meeting of the
Inter-American Economic and Social Coun-
cil held at Punta del Este In August 1961,
and especially, the Charter of Punta del Este,
The Ninth Meeting of Consultation of
Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Serving as Organ
of Consultation In Application of the Inter-
American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
Declares: That the aims of unity and peace
with liberty and democracy pursued In the
struggle against international communism,
which threatens the stability of the institu-
tions of the Inter-American system and of
the countries that compose it, must be
achieved by eliminating those obstacles that
hinder social progress and economic develop-
ment, and
Resolves:
1. To reaffirm the determined will of their
peoples to work, in the regional and interna-
tional spheres, for the achievement of the
objectives expressed in the Charter of Alta
Gracia and at the Conference on Trade and
Development, which are in line with the aims
and purposes of the Alliance for Progress.
2. To request the Inter-American Eco-
nomic and Social Council to continue the
necessary studies in order to find adequate
solutions to the problems involved.
IV. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS AMONG THE
MEMBER STATES
The Ninth Meeting of Consultation of
Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Serving as Organ
of Consultation In Application of the Inter-
American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
Resolves: To transmit to the Council of
the Organization of American States the
16467
draft resolution ''Diplomatic Relations
-Among the Member States," presented by
the Delegation of Argentina (Document No.
30, Rev. 2).
V. VOTE OF RECOGNITION

isters of Foreign Affairs, Serving as Organ of

American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,

Mr..Vasco Leitto,da Cunha, Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs of Brazil, on the wise and
intelligent manner in -which he guided the

VI. VOTE OF THANKS

Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Serving as Organ
of Consultation in Application of the Inter-
American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
Resolves:

A. Mora, Secretary General of the Organiza-
tion of American States, its appreciation for
all the attentions and courtesies extended to
.-the delegates in connection with this Meet-
ing.
2. To place on record its gratitude to the
Secretary General of the Meeting, Mr. Wil-
liam Sanders, and to all who collaborated
with him, for the manner In which the
advisory and secretariat services of the Meet-
ing were organized and carried out.

sphere and world press and other informa-
tion media for the efficient service they

STATEMENTS
Statement of Chile
The Delegation of Chile abstained from
voting on paragraphs :i and 2 of the opera-
tive part of Resolution I, because of its
doubts regarding the legality of the use of
the term "aggression" in describing the acts.
It voted negatively on paragraph 3, because
it is firmly convinced that the measures
agreed to are not appropriate to the partic-
ular case that has brought about the appli-
cation of the Inter-American Treaty of Re-
ciprocal Assistance. It also voted against
paragraph 5, because it believes that there
are discrepancies between the provisions of
that paragraph and those of Article 61 of the
Charter of the United Nations and of Article
3 of the Rio Treaty. With reference to its
abstention on paragraph 6, Its attitude is
consistent with the attitude taken with re-
spect to the measures called for In para-
graph 3.
The Delegation of Chile abstained from
voting on the Declaration to the People of
Cuba since, although agreeing with its basic
content, it maintains relations with the Re-
public of Cuba and since it believes precisely
In the principle of nonintervention, it has
deemed it preferable not to give positive
support to this resolution.
Statement of Mexico
The Delegation of Mexico wishes to make
It a matter of record in the Final Act, that
the Government of Mexico:
1. Is convinced that the measures provided
for in the third paragraph of the operative
part of Resolution I (which the Delegation
of Mexico voted against) lack foundation
inasmuch as the Inter-American Treaty of
Reciprocal Assistance does not envisage, in
any part, the application of such measures
in situations of the kind and nature dealt
with'by this Meeting of Consultation.
2. Makes a specific reservation to the fifth
paragraph of the operative part of the same
resolution since it endeavors to extend, in
such a way as to be incompatible with the
provisions of Articles 3 and 10 of the Inter-
American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance,
the right to individual or collective self-
defense.

Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, I shall
not take the time to read the entire act.
I wanted to read the section that dealt
with the so-called sanctions, about
which there was so much public discus-
sion in the press and elsewhere.
In closing, I not only again extend my
congratulations and compliments to the
Secretary of State, Mr. Rusk, but from
my desk today I want to say that not
only all the United States but all the free
nations of the Western Hemisphere are
indebted to Secretary Rusk and to each
of the other Foreign Ministers who sat
through the days of this historic debate
and Foreign Ministers Conference.
Let us not overlook the fact that what
has happened in Washington, D.C., in
regard to a great crisis which is devel-
oping In the Western Hemisphere, the
Foreign Ministers of the member coun-
tf'ies of the Organization of American
States did 'resort to the rule of law.
They did in this conference resort to ex-
isting treaties for a determination of
their differences. They did meet around
the conference table to seek to apply the
International law commitments which
each member of the Organization of
American States previously had com-
mitted Itself to follow.
It was a great satisfaction to see my
country participate in such a kind of
international conference and join in
applying the rules and the principles of
International law to a'threat to the peace
In the Western Herjmisphere.
It wa4 right .to do it in this Instance.
I respectfully say that is the way at least
to try to resolve every crisis that
threatens the peace of the world.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
wish to commend the distinguished Sena-
tor from Oregon for the remarks he made
today about the meeting of the Foreign
Ministers of the Organization of Ameri-
can States, held in Washington.
I am delighted that the Senate was
represented by two such outstanding
Members of the Senate as the Senator
from Oregon [Mr. MORSE] and the Sena-
tor from Iowa [Mr. HICKENLOOPER], both
of whom have made a special avocation
and study of our relations with all the
countries of Latin America.
As I look back on the results of this
hemispheric meeting, I believe that they
will rank not only with Punta del Este,
but above It in what was accomplished.
I am delighted that this report has been
made this afternoon. I am delighted
because it brings to the attention of the
Senate at first hand by one of our repre-
sentatives what happened there. It Is
also proof of the fact that under law
much can be accomplished, and that
what happened In the conference was
accomplished under law.
DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INTER-
EST AND ENUMERATION OF CER-
TAIN PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the resolution (S. Res. 337) to provide
disclosure of financial interest and to
enumerate certain prohibited activities.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
ask unanimous consent that there be a
time limitation on the pending measure
after the Senator from Pennsylvania
[Mr. CLARK] makes his opening state-
ment, that limitation to be 1 hour on each
amendment and 2 hours on the
resolution.
Mr. CASE. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield so that I may clarify the
request?
Mr. MANSFIELD. I yield.
Mr. CASE, It is my understanding
that the Senator from Pennsylvania will
offer, on his behalf and on my own, a
substitute for the amendment now pend-
ing, offered by the Senator from Dela-
ware. How would the suggested limita-
tion apply to the substitute amendment?
Mr. CLARK. For my part-and 3 con-
ferred with the majority leader about
this point-I would make an opening
statement on the amendment of the Sen-
ator from New Jersey and myself. I
would be happy during my statement to
yield to the Senator from New Jersey
or any other Senator afterI have con-
cluded my opening statement, which
would be In about a half hour. Then the
unanimous consent agreement would
take effect.
Mr. CASE. Would it be possibe to
allot 15 minutes to the Senator -from
New Jersey out of the time within the
limited period?
Mr. CLARK. I believe so. If not, I
am sure Lippe can be taken from the time
on the bill.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection?
Mr. MA 1$ Il ,,p, The limitation to
include motions, as well.
The PRMIDTI?T? OFFICER. Is there
objection? The Chair hears none, and
It is so ordered.
Mr. MANSFIELD. The limitation be-
gins after the distinguished Senator
from Pennsylvania concludes his opening
statement.
Mr. CLARK. And he yields the floor.
Mr. President, on behalf of the Sen-
ator from New Jersey [Mr. CASE] and
myself I send to the desk an amend-
ment in the nature of a substitute for the
amendment offered by the Senator from
Delaware [Mr. Wn1,LaMsl. I ask that
the amendment be not read, but printed
in the RECORD at this point. I can ex-
plain It very briefly, and much more
succinctly than if it were read.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
The amendment, ordered to be print-
ed in the RECORD, is as follows:
AMENDMENT No. -
Amendment intended to be proposed by Mr.
CLARK and Mr. CASE to S. Res. 337, a reso-
lution to provide disclosure of financial
interests and to enumerate certain pro-
hibited activities, as a substitute to the
amendment of the Senator from Delaware
