Approved Fo elease 2005101/27 : CIA-RDP66B004033R000200170029-9' 1964 - 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. 16469 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; Approved For Release 2005/01/27 : CIA-RDP66B00403R000200170029-9 Approved F^elease 2005/01/27 : CIA-RDP6613004038000200170029-9 ?16464 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE 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.

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.

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. 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.
