On motion by Mr. Mansfield, The Senate, at 8 o’clock and 42 minutes p.m., proceeded to the Hall of the House of Representatives, pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 1, to hear an address by the President of the United States; and
The two Houses being assembled, The President of the United States addressed them, as follows:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of Congress, My Fellow Americans:
On this Hill, which was my home, I am stirred by old friendships.
Though total agreement between the Executive and the Congress is impossible, total respect is important.
I am proud to be among my colleagues of the Congress whose legacy to their trust is their loyalty to their Nation.
I am not unaware of the inner emotions of the new Members of this body.
Twenty-eight years ago, I felt as you do now. You will soon learn that you are among men whose first love is their country, men who try each day to do what they believe is right.
We are entering the third century of the pursuit of American union.
Two hundred years ago, in 1765, nine assembled colonies first joined together to demand freedom from arbitrary power.
For the first century we struggled to hold together the first continental union of democracy in the history of man. One hundred years ago, in 1865, following a
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
5
terrible test of blood and fire, the compact of union was finally sealed.
For a second century we labored to establish a unity of purpose and interest among the many groups which make up the American community.
That struggle has often brought pain and violence. It is not yet over. But we have achieved a unity of interest among our people unmatched in the history of freedom.
And now, in 1965, we begin a new quest for union. We seek the unity of man with the world he has built—with the knowledge that can save or destroy him—with the cities which can stimulate or stifle him—with the wealth and machines which can enrich or menace his spirit.
We seek to establish a harmony between man and society which will allow each of us to enlarge the meaning of his life and all of us to elevate the quality of our civilization.
This is the search we begin tonight.
State of the World
But the unity we seek cannot realize its full promise in isolation. For today the state of the Union depends, in large measure, upon the state of the world.
Our concern and interest, compassion and vigilance, extend to every corner of a dwindling planet.
Yet, it is not merely our concern but the concern of all freemen. We will not, and should not, assume it is the task of Americans alone to settle all the conflicts of a torn and troubled world.
Let the foes of freedom take no comfort from this. For in concert with other nations, we shall help men defend their freedom.
Our first aim remains the safety and well-being of our own country.
We are prepared to live as good neighbors with all, but we cannot be indifferent to acts designed to injure our interests, our citizens, or our establishments abroad. The community of nations requires mutual respect. We shall extend it—and we shall expect it.
In our relations with the world we shall follow the example of Andrew Jackson who said: “I intend to ask for nothing that is not clearly right and to submit to nothing that is wrong.” And he promised, “the honor of my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth or the performance of duty.” That was our policy in the 1830’s and that is our policy today.
Our own freedom and growth have never been the final goal of the American dream.
We were never meant to be an oasis of liberty and abundance in a worldwide desert of disappointed dreams. Our Nation was created to help strike away the chains of ignorance and misery and tyranny wherever they keep man less than God means him to be.
We are moving toward that destiny, never more rapidly than in the last 4 years.
In this period we have built a military power strong enough to meet any threat
and destroy any adversary. And that superiority will continue to grow so long as this office is mine—and you sit on Capitol Hill.
In this period no new nation has become Communist, and the unity of the Communist empire has begun to crumble.
In this period we have resolved in friendship our disputes with our neighbors of the hemisphere, and joined in an Alliance for Progress toward economic growth and political democracy.
In this period we have taken more steps toward peace—including the test ban treaty—than at any time since the cold war began.
In this period we have relentlessly pursued our advances toward the conquest of space.
Most important of all, in this period, the United States has reemerged into the fullness of its self-confidence and purpose. No longer are we called upon to get America moving. We are moving. No longer do we doubt our strength or resolution. We are strong and we have proven our resolve.
No longer can anyone wonder whether we are in the grip of historical decay. We know that history is ours to make. And if there is great danger, there is now also the excitement of great expectations.
America and the Communist Nations
Yet we still live in a troubled and perilous world. There is no longer a single threat. There are many. They differ in intensity and danger. They require different attitudes and different answers.
With the Soviet Union we seek peaceful understandings that can lessen the danger to freedom.
Last fall I asked the American people to choose that course.
I will carry forward their command.
If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
I am sure the American people would welcome a chance to listen to the Soviet leaders on our television—as I would like the Soviet people to hear our leaders.
I hope the new Soviet leaders can visit America so they can learn about this country at firsthand.
In Eastern Europe restless nations are slowly beginning to assert their identity. Your Government, assisted by leaders in labor and business, is exploring ways to increase peaceful trade with these countries and the Soviet Union. I will report our conclusions to the Congress.
In Asia, communism wears a more aggressive face.
We see that in Vietnam.
Why are we there?
We are there, first, because a friendly nation has asked us for help against Communist aggression. Ten years ago we pledged our help. Three Presidents have supported that pledge. We will not break it.
Second, our own security is tied to the peace of Asia. Twice in one generation we have had to fight against aggression in the Far East. To ignore aggression would only increase the danger of a larger war.
Our goal is peace in southeast Asia. That will come only when aggressors leave their neighbors in peace.
What is at stake is the cause of freedom. In that cause we shall never be found wanting.
The Non-Communist World
But communism is not the only source of trouble and unrest. There are older and deeper sources—in the misery of nations and in man’s irrepressible ambition for liberty and a better life.
With the free Republics of Latin America I have always felt—and my country has always felt—special ties of interest and affection. It will be the purpose of this administration to strengthen these ties. Together we share and shape the destiny of the new world. In the coming year I hope to pay a visit to Latin America. And I will steadily enlarge our commitment to the Alliance for Progress as the instrument of our war against poverty and injustice in the hemisphere.
In the Atlantic community we continue to pursue our goal of 20 years—a Europe growing in strength, unity, and cooperation with America. A great unfinished task is the reunification of Germany through self-determination.
This European policy is not based on any abstract design. It is based on the realities of common interests and common values, common dangers and common expectations. These realities will continue to have their way—especially in our expanding trade and our common defense.
Free Americans have shaped the policies of the United States. And because we know these realities, those policies have been, and will be, in the interest of Europe.
Free Europeans must shape the course of Europe. And, for the same reasons, that course has been, and will be, in our interest and the interest of freedom.
I found this truth confirmed in my talks with European leaders in the last year. I hope to repay these visits to some of our friends in Europe this year.
In Africa and Asia we are witnessing the turbulent unfolding of new nations and continents.
We welcome them to the society of nations.
We are committed to help those seeking to strengthen their own independence, and to work most closely with those governments dedicated to the welfare of all their people.
We seek not fidelity to an iron faith but a diversity of belief as varied as man himself. We seek not to extend the power of America but the progress of humanity. We seek not to dominate others but to strengthen the freedom of all.
I will seek new ways to use our knowledge to help deal with the explosion in world population and the growing scarcity in world resources.
Finally, we renew our commitment to the continued growth and effectiveness of the United Nations. The frustrations of the U.N. are a product of the world

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 4
we live in, not of the institution which gives them voice. It is far better to throw these differences open to the assembly of nations than permit them to fester in silent danger.
These are some of the goals of the American Nation in the world.
For ourselves we seek neither praise nor blame, gratitude nor obedience.
We seek peace.
We seek freedom.
We seek to enrich the life of man.
For that is the world in which we will flourish.
That is the world we mean for all men to have.
Toward the Great Society
World affairs will continue to call upon our energy and courage.
But today we can turn increased attention to the character of American life.
We are in the midst of the greatest upward surge of economic well-being in the history of any nation.
Our flourishing progress has been marked by price stability unequalled In the world. Our balance-of-payments deficit has declined and the soundness of our dollar is unquestioned. I pledge to keep it that way. I urge business and labor to cooperate to that end.
We worked for two centuries to climb this peak of prosperity. But we are only at the beginning of the road to the Great Society. Ahead now is a summit where freedom from the wants of the body can help fulfill the needs of the spirit.
We built this Nation to serve its people.
We want to grow and build and create, but we want progress to be the servant and not the master of man.
We do not intend to live—in the midst of abundance—isolated from neighbors and nature, confined by blighted cities and bleak suburbs, stunted by a poverty of learning and an emptiness of leisure.
The Great Society asks not only how much, but how good; not only how to create wealth, but how to use it; not only how fast we are going, but where we are headed.
It proposes as the first test for a nation : the quality of its people.
This kind of society will not flower spontaneously from swelling riches and surging power.
It will not be the gift of Government or the creation of Presidents.
It will require of every American, for many generations, both faith in the destination and the fortitude to make the journey.
Like freedom itself, it will always be challenge and not fulfillment.
Tonight we accept that challenge.
A National Agenda
I propose we begin a program in education to insure every American child the fullest development of his mind and skills.
I propose we begin a massive attack on crippling and killing diseases.
I propose we launch a national effort to make the American city a better and more stimulating place to live.
I propose we increase the beauty of
America and end the poisoning of our rivers and the air we breathe.
I propose we carry out a new program to develop regions of our country now suffering from distress and depression.
I propose we make new efforts to control and prevent crime and delinquency.
I propose we eliminate every remaining obstacle to the right and opportunity to vote.
I propose we honor and support the achievements of thought and the creations of art.
I propose we make an all-out campaign against waste and inefficiency.
THE TASK
Our basic task is threefold:
—	to keep our economy growing;
—	to open for all Americans the opportunities now enjoyed by most Americans;
—	to improve the quality of life for all.
In the next 6 weeks I will submit special messages with detailed proposals for national action in each of these areas.
Tonight I would like briefly to explain some of my major recommendations in the three main areas of national need.
I.	A Growing Economy basic POLICIES
First, we must keep our Nation prosperous. We seek full employment opportunity for every American. I will present a budget designed to move the economy forward. More money will be left in the hands of the consumer by a substantial cut in excise taxes. We will continue along the path toward a balanced budget in a balanced economy.
I confidently predict—what every economic sign now tells us—the continued flourishing of the American economy.
But we must remember that fear of a recession can contribute to the fact of a recession. The knowledge that our Government will, and can, move swiftly will strengthen the confidence of investors and business.
Congress can reinforce this confidence by insuring that its procedures permit rapid action on temporary income tax cuts. And special funds for job-creating public programs should be made available for immediate use if recession threatens.
Our continued prosperity demands continued price stability. Business, labor, and the consumer all have a high stake in keeping wages and prices within the framework of the guideposts that have already served the Nation so well.
Finding new markets abroad for our goods depends on the initiative of American business. But we stand ready—with credit and other help—to assist the flow of trade which will benefit the entire Nation.
ON THE FARMS
Our economy owes much to the efficiency of our farmers. We must continue to assure them the opportunity to earn a fair reward. I have instructed the Secretary of Agriculture to lead a major effort to find new approaches to
reduce the heavy cost of our farm programs and to direct more of our effort to the small farmer who needs help most.
INCREASED PROSPERITY
We can help insure continued prosperity through—
—a regional recovery program to assist development of stricken areas left behind by our national progress;
—further efforts to provide our workers with the skills demanded by modern technology, for the laboring man is an indispensable force in the American system;
—extension of the minimum wage to more than 2 million unprotected workers;
—improvement and modernization of the unemployment compensation system.
As pledged in our 1960 and 1964 Democratic platforms, I will propose to Congress changes in the Taft-Hartley Act including section 14-B. I will do so hoping to reduce conflicts that for several years have divided Americans in various States.
In a country that spans a continent, modern transportation is vital to continued growth.
TRANSPORTATION FOR GROWTH
I will recommend heavier reliance on competition in transportation and a new policy for our merchant marine.
I will ask for funds to study high-speed rail transportation between urban centers. We will begin with test projects between Boston and Washington. On high-speed trains, passengers could travel this distance in less than 4 hours.
II.	Opportunity for All
Second, we must open opportunity to all our people.
Most Americans tonight enjoy a good life. But far too many are still trapped in poverty, idleness, and fear.
Let a just nation throw open to them the city of promise:
—	to the elderly, by providing hospital care under social security and by raising benefit payments to those struggling to maintain the dignity of their later years;
—	to the poor, through doubling the war against poverty this year;
—	to Negro Americans, through enforcement of the civil rights law and elimination of barriers to the right to vote;
—	to those in other lands seeking the promise of America, through an immigration law based on the work a man can do and not where he was bom or how he spells his name.
III.	To Enrich the Life of All
Our third goal is to improve the quality of American life.
THROUGH EDUCATION
We begin with learning.
Every child must have the best education our Nation can provide.
Thomas Jefferson said no nation can be both ignorant and free. Today no nation can be both ignorant and great.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

In addition to our existing programs, I will recommend a new program for schools and students with a first-year authorization of $1,500 million.
It will help at every stage along the road to learning.
For the preschool years we will help needy children become aware of the excitement of learning.
For the primary and secondary school years we will aid public schools serving low-income families and assist students in both public and private schools.
For the college years we will provide scholarships to high school students of the greatest promise and greatest need and guaranteed low-interest loans to students continuing their college studies.
New laboratories and centers will help our schools lift their standards of excellence and explore new methods of teaching. These centers will provide special training for those who need and deserve special treatment.
THROUGH BETTER HEALTH
Greatness requires not only an educated people but a healthy people.
Our goal is to match the achievements of our medicine to the afflictions of our people.
We already carry on a large program for research and health.
In addition, regional medical centers can provide the most advanced diagnosis and treatment for heart disease, cancer, stroke, and other major diseases.
New support for medical and dental education will provide the trained men to apply our knowledge.
Community centers can help the mentally ill and improve health care for school-age children from poor families, including services for the mentally retarded.
THROUGH IMPROVING THE WORLD WE LIVE IN
The city
An educated and healthy people require surroundings in harmony with their hopes.
In our urban areas the central problem today is to protect and restore man’s satisfaction in belonging to a community where he can find security and significance.
The first step is to break old patterns—to begin to think, work, and plan for the development of entire metropolitan areas. We will take this step with new programs of help for basic community facilities and neighborhood centers of health and recreation.
New and existing programs will be open to those cities which work together to develop unified long-range policies for metropolitan areas.
We must also make important changes in our housing programs if we are to pursue these same basic goals.
A Department of Housing and Urban Development will be needed to spearhead this effort in our cities.
Every citizen has the right to feel secure in his home and on the streets of his community.
To help control crime, we will recommend programs—
—to train local law enforcement officers;
—to put the best techniques of modern science at their disposal;
—to discover the causes of crime and better ways to prevent it.
I will soon assemble a panel of outstanding experts to search out answers to the national problem of crime and delinquency.
The beauty of America
For over three centuries the beauty of America has sustained our spirit and enlarged our vision. We must act now to protect this heritage. In a fruitful new partnership with the States and cities the next decade should be a conservation milestone. We must make a massive effort to save the countryside and establish—as a green legacy for tomorrow—more large and small parks, more seashores and open spaces than have been created during any period in our history.
A new and substantial effort must be made to landscape highways and provide places of relaxation and recreation wherever our roads run.
Within our cities imaginative programs are needed to landscape streets and transform open areas into places of beauty and recreation.
We will seek legal power to prevent pollution of oui’ air and water before it happens. We will step up our effort to control harmful wastes, giving first priority to the cleanup of our most contaminated rivers. We will increase research to learn more about control of pollution.
We hope to make the Potomac a model of beauty and recreation for the entire country—and preserve unspoiled stretches of some of our waterways with a wild rivers bill.
More ideas for a beautiful America will emerge from a White House Conference on Natural Beauty which I will soon call. Art and science
We must also recognize and encourage those who can be pathfinders for the Nation’s imagination and understanding.
To help promote and honor creative achievements, I will propose a National Foundation on the Arts.
To develop knowledge which will enrich our lives and insure our progress, I will recommend programs to encourage basic science, particularly in the universities—and to bring closer the day when the oceans will supply our growing need for fresh water.
IV.	The Government
For government to serve these goals it must be modern in structure, efficient in action, and ready for any emergency.
I am currently reviewing the structure of the executive branch. I hope to reshape and reorganize it to meet more effectively the tasks of today.
Wherever waste is found, I will eliminate it.
Last year we saved almost $3^2 billion by eliminating waste.
I intend to do better this year.
And I will soon report to you on our progress and on new economies we plan to make.
Even the best of government is subject to the vzorst of hazards.
I will propose laws to insure the necessary continuity of leadership should the President become disabled or die.
In addition, I will propose reforms in the electoral college—leaving undisturbed the vote by States—but making sure no elector can substitute his will for that of the people.
Last year I spoke to you after 33 years of public service—most of them on this Hill.
This year I speak after 1 year as President of the United States.
Many of you in this Chamber are among my oldest friends. We have shared many happy moments and many hours of work. And we have watched many Presidents together. Yet, only in the White House can you finally know the full weight of this Office.
The greatest burden is not running the huge operations of government—or meeting daily troubles, large and small— or even working with the Congress.
A President’s hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.
Yet the Presidency brings no special gift of prophecy or foresight. You take an oath—step into an office—and must then help guide a great democracy.
The answer was waiting for me in the land where I was born.
It was once barren land. The angular hills were covered with scrub cedar and a few live oaks. Little would grow in the harsh caliche soil. And each spring the Pedernales River would flood the valley.
But men came and worked and endured and built.
Today that country is abundant with fruit, cattle, goats, and sheep. There are pleasant homes, and lakes, and the floods are gone.
Why did men come to that once forbidding land?
They were restless, of course, and had to be moving on. But there was more than that. There was a dream—a dream of a place where a freeman could build for himself, and raise his children to a better life—a dream of a continent to be conquered, a world to be won, a nation to be made.
Remembering this, I knew the answer.
A President does not shape a new and personal vision of America.
He collects it from the scattered hopes of the American past.
It existed when the first settlers saw the coast of a new world, and when the first pioneers moved westward.
It has guided us every step of the way.
It sustains every President. But it is also your inheritance and it belongs equally to the people we serve.
It must be interpreted anew by each generation for its own needs; as I have tried, in part, to do today.
It shall lead us as we enter this third century of the search for “a more perfect Union.”

The PRESIDENT pro tempore called the Senate to order, and the Chaplain offered prayer.
THE JOURNAL
On motion by Mr. Mansfield, and by unanimous consent,
The reading of the Journal of the proceedings of Wednesday, January 6, 1965, was dispensed with.
MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE
A message from the House of Representatives by Mr. Hackney, one of its clerks:
Mr. President: The House of Representatives has passed the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 123) to fix the dates for transmitting the budget and the Economic Report during the month of January 1965, in which it requests the concurrence of the Senate.
MODIFICATION OF UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO ON YESTERDAY
Mr. MANSFIELD asked and obtained permission to modify his unanimous-consent request entered into late in the proceedings on yesterday relative to the introduction of routine morning business during today’s session, to conform with his earlier unanimous consent request made on yesterday to submit bills, resolutions, etc., without prejudicing the rights of any Senator as it relates to the parliamentary situation affecting any proposed amendments to the Senate rules.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore announced that morning business is in order.
QUESTION OF PROCEDURE DURING MORNING BUSINESS
Mr. DIRKSEN asked if the rule for morning business does not provide first the presentation of petitions and memorials, following that reports of standing and select committees, and following that the introduction of bills and joint resolutions.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore stated that the Senate is now operating under a unanimous-consent agreement and that such agreement supersedes the procedure which Mr. Dirksen has read under rule VII.
ADVANCING THE NATION’S HEALTH
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Finance:
To the Congress of the United States:
In 1787 Thomes Jefferson wrote that “without health there is no happiness. An attention to health, then, should take the place of every other object.”
That priority has remained fixed in both the private and public values of our society through generations of Americans since.
Our rewards have been immeasurably bountiful. “An attention to health”—of the individual, the family, the community and the Nation—has contributed to the vitality and efficiency of our system
as well as to the happiness and prosperity of our people.
Today, at this point in our history, we are privileged to contemplate new horizons of national advance and achievement in many sectors. But it is imperative that we give first attention to our opportunities—and our obligations— for advancing the Nation’s health. For the health of our people is, inescapably, the foundation for fulfillment of all our aspirations.
In these years of the 1960’s, we live as beneficiaries of this century’s great— and continuing—revolution of medical knowledge and capabilities. Smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, and typhus are conquered in this country. Infant deaths have been reduced by half every two decades. Poliomyelitis, which took 3,154 lives so recently as 1952, cost only 5 lives in 1964. Over the brief span of the past two decades, death rates have been reduced for influenza by 88 percent, tuberculosis by 87 percent, rheumatic fever by 90 percent.
A baby born in America today has a life expectancy half again as long as those born in the year the 20th century began.
The successes of the century are many. The pace of medical progress is rapid. The potential for the future is unlimited.
But we must not allow the modern miracles of medicine to mesmerize us. The work most needed to advance the Nation’s health will not be done for us by miracles. We must undertake that work ourselves through practical, prudent, and patient programs—to put more firmly in place the foundation for the healthiest, happiest, and most hopeful society in the history of man.
Our first concern must be to assure that the advance of medical knowledge leaves none behind. We can—and we must—strive now to assure the availability of and accessibility to the best health care for all Americans, regardless of age or geography or economic status.
With this as Ofir goal, we must strengthen our Nation’s health facilities and services, assure the adequacy and quality of our health manpower, continue to assist our States and communities in meeting their health responsibilities, and respond alertly to the new hazards of our new and complex environment.
We must, certainly, continue and intensify our health research and research facilities. Despite all that has been done, we cannot be complacent before the facts that—
Forty-eight million people now living will become victims of cancer.
Nearly 15 million people suffer from heart disease and this, together with strokes, accounts for more than half the deaths in the United States each year.
Twelve million people suffer arthritis and rheumatic disease and 10 million are burdened with neurological disorders.
Five and one-half million Americans are afflicted by mental retarda
tion and the number increases by 126,000 new cases each year.
In our struggle against disease great advances have been made, but the battle is far from won. While that battle will not end in our lifetime—or any time to come—we have the high privilege and high promise of making longer strides forward now than any other generation of Americans.
The measures I am outlining today will carry us forward in the oldest tradition of our society—to give “an attention to health” for all our people. Our advances, thus far, have been most dramatic in the field of health knowledge. We are challenged now to give attention to advances in the field of health care— and this is the emphasis of the recommendations I am placing before you at this time.
I. REMOVING BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE
In this century medical scientists have done much to improve human health and prolong human life. Yet as these advances come, vital segments of our populace are being left behind—behind barriers of age, economics, geography, or community resources. Today the political community is challenged to help all our people surmount these needless barriers to the enjoyment of the promise and reality of better health.
A.	Hospital insurance for the aged
Thirty years ago the American people made a basic decision that the later years of life should not be years of despondency and drift. The result was enactment of our social security program, a program now fixed as a valued part of our national life. Since World War II there has been increasing awareness of the fact that the full value of social security would not be realized unless provision were made to deal with the problem of costs of illnesses among our elder citizens.
I believe this year is the year when, with the sure knowledge of public support, the Congress should enact a hospital insurance program for the aged.
The facts of the need are well and widely known:
Four out of five persons 65 or older have a disability or chronic disease.
People over 65 go to the hospital more frequently and stay twice as long as younger people.
Health costs for them are twice as high as for the young.
Where health insurance is available it is usually associated with an employeremployee plan. However, since most of our older people are not employed they are usually not eligible under these plans.
Almost half of the elderly have no health insurance at all.
The average retired couple cannot afford the cost of adequate health protection under private health insurance.
I ask that our social security system— proved and tested by three decades of successful operation—be extended to finance the cost of basic health services. In this way, the specter of catastrophic hospital bills can be lifted from the lives of our older citizens. I again strongly
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
35
urge the Congress to enact a hospital insurance program for the aged.
Such a program should—
Be financed under social security by regular, modest contributions during working years;
Provide protection against the costs of hospital and posthospital extended care, home nursing services, and outpatient diagnostic services;
Provide similar protection to those who are not now covered by social security, with the costs being paid from the administrative budget;
Clearly indicate that the plan in no way interferes with the patient’s complete freedom to select his doctor or hospital.
Like our existing social security cash retirement benefits, this hospital insurance plan will be a basic protection plan. It should cover the heaviest cost elements in serious illnesses. In addition, we should encourage private insurance to provide supplementary protection.
I consider this measure to be of utmost urgency. Compassion and reason dictate that this logical extension of our proven social security system will supply the prudent, feasible, and dignified way to free the aged from the fear of financial hardship in the event of illness.
Also, I urge all States to provide adequate medical assistance under the existing Kerr-Mills program for the aged who cannot afford to meet the nonInsured costs.
B.	Better health, services for children and youth
America’s tradition of compassion for the aged is matched by our traditional devotion to our most priceless resource of all—our young. Today, far more than many realize, there are great and growing needs among our children for better health services.
Acute illness strikes children under 15 nearly twice as frequently as it does adults.
One in five children under age 17 is afflicted with a chronic ailment.
Three out of every 100 children suffer some form of paralysis or orthopedic impairment.
At least 2 million children are mentally retarded, with a higher concentration of them from poor families.
Four million children are emotionally disturbed.
At age 15, the average child has more than 10 decayed teeth.
If the health of our Nation is to be substantially improved in the years to come, we must improve the care of the health of our 75 million preschool and school-age children and youth.
There is much to do if we are to make available the medical and dental services our rising generation needs. Nowhere are the needs greater than for the 15 million children of families who live in poverty.
Children in families with incomes of less than $2,000 are able to visit a doctor only half as frequently as those in families with incomes of more than $7,000.
Public assistance payments for medical services to the 3 million needy children receiving dependent children’s benefits throughout the Nation average only $2.80 a month, and in some States such medical benefits are not provided at all.
Poor families increasingly are forced to turn to overcrowded hospital emergency rooms and to overburdened city clinics as their only resource to meet their routine health needs.
Military entrance examinations reveal the consequences. Half of those rejected cannot pass the medical tests. Three-fourths of then} would benefit from treatment, and earlier treatment would greatly increase recovery and decrease lifelong disability.
The States and localities bear the major responsibility for providing modem medical care to our children and youth. But the Federal Government can help. I recommend legislation to—
Increase the authorizations for maternal and child health and crippled children’s services, earmarking funds for project grants to provide health screening and diagnosis for children of preschool and school age, as well as treatment and followup care services for disabled children and youth. This should include funds to help defray the operational costs of university-affiliated mental retardation clinical centers. Provisions should also be made for the training of personnel who will operate medical facilities for children.
Broaden the public assistance program to permit specific Federal participation in paying costs of medical and dental care for children in medically needy families, similar to the Kerr-Mills program for the aged.
Extend the grant programs for (a) family health services and clinics for domestic agricultural migratory workers and their children and (b) community vaccination assistance.
C.	Improved community mental health „ services
Mental illness afflicts 1 out of 10 Americans, fills nearly one-half of all the hospital beds in the Nation* and Costs $3 billion annually. Fortunately* we are entering a new era in the prevention, treatment, and care of mental illness. Mere custodial Care of patients in large, isolated asylums is clearly no longer appropriate. Most patients can be cared for and cured in their own communities.
An important beginning toward community preparation has been made through the legislation enacted by the 88th Congress authorizing aid for constructing community mental health centers. But facilities alone cannot assure services.
It has been estimated that at least 10,-000 more psychiatrists are needed.
Few communities have the funds to support adequate programs, particularly during the first years.
Communities with the greatest needs hesitate to build centers without being able to identify the source of operating funds.
Most of the people in need are children, the aged, or patients with low incomes.
I therefore recommend legislation to authorize a 5-year program of grants for the initial costs of personnel to man community mental health centers which offer comprehensive services.
D.	A new life for the disabled
Today, we are rehabilitating about 120,000 disabled persons each year. I recommend a stepped-up program to overcome this costly waste of human resources. My 1966 budget will propose increased funds to rehabilitate an additional 25,000.
Our goal should be at least 200,000 a year. I recommend legislation to authorize—
Project grants to help States expand their services.
Special Federal matching so that rehabilitative services can be provided to a greater number of the mentally retarded and other seriously disabled individuals.
Construction and modernization of workshops and rehabilitation centers, n. strengthening the nation’s health
FACILITIES AND SERVICES
In our urbanized society today, the availability of health care depends uniquely upon the availability and accessibility of modern facilities, located in convenient and efficient places, and on well-organized and adequately supported services. The lack of such facilities and services is, of itself, a barrier to good health care.
A.	Multipurpose regional medical complexes
In this century, we have made more advance than in all other centuries toward overcoming diseases which have taken the heaviest toll of human life. Today we are challenged to meet and master the 3 killers which alone account for 7 out of 10 deaths in the United States each year—heart disease, cancer, and stroke. The Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke has pointed the way for us toward that goal.
The newest and most effective diagnostic methods and the most recent and most promising methods of treatment Often require equipment or skills of great scarcity and expense such as open heart surgery, advanced and very high voltage radiation therapy, advanced diseasedetection methods.
It is not necessary for each hospital or clinic to have such facilities, equipment, or services, but it is essential that every patient requiring such specialized and expensive procedures and services have access to them. Multipurpose medical complexes can meet these needs. 'Ihey would—
Speed the application of research knowledge to patient care, so as to turn otherwise hollow laboratory triumphs into health victories;
Save thousands of lives now needlessly taken annually by the three gieat killers—heart disease, cancer, and stroke—and by other major diseases.
36
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 7
A plan to improve our attack upon these major causes of death and disability should become a part of the fabric of oui’ regional and community health services. The services provided under this plan will help the practicing physician keep in touch with the latest medical knowledge and by making available to him the latest techniques, specialized knowledge, and the most efficient methods.
To meet these objectives such complexes should—
Be regional in scope.
Provide services for a variety of diseases—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and other major illnesses.
Be affiliated with medical schools, teaching hospitals, and medical centers.
Be supported by diagnostic services in community hospitals.
Provide diagnosis and treatment of patients, together with research and teaching in a coordinated system.
Permit clinical trial of advanced techniques and drugs.
Medical complexes—consisting of regional organizations of medical schools, teaching hospitals, and treatment centers tied into community diagnostic and treatment facilities—represent a new kind of organization for providing coordinated teaching, research, and patient care. When we consider that the economic cost of heart disease alone amounts to 540,000 lost man-years annually—worth some $2.5 billion—the urgency and value of effective action is unmistakable.
Action on this new approach, stemming from recommendations of the Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke, will provide significant improvements in many fields of medicine.
I recommend legislation to authorize a 5-year program of project grants to develop multipurpose regional medical complexes for an all-out attack on heart disease, cancer, stroke, and other major dfseases.
B.	Improved services far the mentally retarded
Mental retardation in any individual is a lifelong problem of the most serious nature for the family and for the community. But we know today that the problem need not and must not lead to tragic hopelessness. Much is being done to provide a decent, dignified place in society for these unfortunate individuals.
The 88 th Congress provided a substantial foundation for building an effective national program for the prevention of mental retardation and care of the mentally retarded. Under this authority, grants are authorized—
For construction of mental retardation research centers, community mental retardation centers, and university-affiliated mental retardation centers.
For planning by all the States of comprehensive action to combat mental retardation at the State and community levels.
The 1966 budget includes $282 million—a $40 million increase—for these
programs and other mental retardation services, including preventive activities and the training of teachers of the retarded. I urge that this full amount be appropriated.
Extensive resources and programs need to be developed in the States and communities to prevent mental retardation and to care for the mentally retarded. The existing authority for planning grants will end on June 30, 1965. The developmental needs and effective utilization of the construction grants require followup action.
I recommend the enactment of mental retardation program development grants for 2 additional years to help the States continue this essential work.
C.	Modernization of health facilities
Great progress has been made throughout the Nation in the provision of new general hospitals under the Hill-Burton program. But relatively little assistance has been available for modernization of the older hospitals, found particularly in our large cities. Without aid, deterioration threatens and rapid scientific and technical change is passing by these essential links to health care for millions of our people.
The 1966 budget will include funds for a greatly increased hospital modernization effort as well as for expansion in the number and quality of nursing homes. I urge the Congress to approve the full amount requested for each of these purposes.
D.	Aid for group practice facilities
New approaches are needed to stretch the supply of medical specialists and to provide a wider range of medical services in the communities. The growth of voluntary, comprehensive group practice programs has demonstrated the feasibility of grouping health services for the mutual benefit of physicians and patients by—
Integrating the burgeoning medical specialties into an efficient and economical system of patient care.
Reducing the incidence of hospitalization which may now occui' because there are few alternative centers for specialized care.
The initial capital requirements for group practice are substantial, and the funds are not now sufficiently available to stimulate the expansion and establishment of group practice. To facilitate and encourage this desirable trend, I recommend legislation to authorize a program of direct loans and loan guarantees to assist voluntary associations in the construction and equipping of facilities for comprehensive group practice.
III.	MANPOWER FOR THE HEALTH SERVICES
The advance of our Nation’s health in this century has, in the final measure, been possible because of the unique quality and fortunate quantity of men and women serving in our health professions. Americans respect and are grateful for our doctors, dentists, nurses, and others who serve our Nation’s health. But it is clear that the future
requires our support now to increase the quantity and assure the continuing high quality of such vital personnel.
In all sectors of health care, the need for trained personnel continues to outstrip the supply.
At present, the United States has 290,000 physicians. In a decade, we shall need 346,000.
Today, we are keeping pace with our needs largely because of the influx of numbers of foreign-trained doctors. Last year 1,600 came into the United States, the equivalent of the output from 16 medical schools and 21 percent of our medical school graduates.
Population growth has badly outpaced the increase in dentists and the shortage of dentists is now acute.
To begin to meet the Nation’s health needs the number of new physicians graduated each year must increase at least 50 percent by 1975, and the output of new dentists by 100 percent.
The Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1963, authorizing grants to schools for construction of medical and other health education schools and loans to students, will help meet this problem. The magnitude of the needs is demonstrated by the response.
Ninety applications have been received from medical and dental schools, requesting $247 million in Federal aid for construction.
Only $100 million is available in 1965; and the full authorization for 1966, which I will shortly request in the budget I am submitting, will provide $75 million more.
In the light of these needs, I urge the Congress to appropriate the full amount authorized and requested for the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act program.
While we must build new medical and dental schools, we must also retain and sustain the ones we have. To be neglectful of such schools would be wasteful folly.
We must face the fact that high operating costs and shortages of operating funds are jeopardizing our health professions educational system. Tuition and fees paid by medical and dental students meet less than half the institutional costs of their education. Several underfinanced medical and dental schools are threatened with failure to meet educational standards. New schools are slow to start, even when construction funds are available due to lack of operating funds.
I therefore recommend legislation to authorize—
Formula grants to help cover basic operating costs of our health profession schools in order that they may significantly expand both their capacity and the quality of their educational programs;
Project grants to enable health profession schools to experiment and demonstrate new and improved educational methods.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
37
Traditionally, our medical profession has attracted outstanding young talent, and we must be certain that this tradition is not compromised. We must draw the best available talent into the medical profession. Half of the last June’s medical school graduates came from families with incomes of over $10,000 a year. The high costs of medical school must not deny access to the medical profession for able youths from low- and middle-income families.
I therefore recommend legislation td authorize scholarships for medical and dental students who would otherwise not be able to enter or complete such training.
Looking to the future
We must also look to the future in planning to meet the health manpower requirements of the Nation.
Unmet health needs are already large. American families are demanding and expecting more and better health services. In the past decades the proportion of our gross national product devoted to health has increased by more than 50 percent. The trend is still upward. If we are to meet our future needs and raise the health of the Nation, we must—•
Improve utilization of available professional health personnel;
Expand the use and training of technicians and ancillary health workers through special schools and under the Vocational Education Act and Manpower Development and Training Act programs;
Expand and improve training programs for professional and for supporting health personnel;
Plan ahead to meet requirements for Which the leadtime is often 10 years or more.
With these objectives in mind, I have asked the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to develop a long-range health manpower program for the Nation and to recommend to me the steps which should be taken to put it into effect.
IV.	HEALTH research and RESEARCH FACILITIES
Two decades ago this Nation decided that its Government should be a strong supporter of the health research to advance the well-being of its people. This year that support amounts to more than two-thirds of the total national expenditure of $1.5 billion for health research.
Continued growth of this research is necessary and the 1966 budget includes—
Ten-percent growth in expenditures for health research and for the related training.
Funds to begin an automated system for processing the exploding volume of information on drugs and other chemicals related to health.
Health research, no less than patient care, requires adequate facilities. Over the past 8 years the Health Research Facilities Act has been highly successful in helping provide research facilities to universities and other nonprofit institutions. Federal grants of $320 million to 990 ^construction projects have generated
over $500 million in matching institutional dollars.
This authority expires on June 30, 1966, and I recommend that it be extended for 5 years with an increased authorization and with a larger Federal share for specialized research facilities of a national or regional character.
V.	HEALTH GRANTS AND PROTECTION MEASURES
Our complex modern society is creating health hazards never before encountered. The pollution of our environment is assuming such important proportion I shall shortly send to the Congress a special message dealing with this challenge.
But the protection of the public health also requires action on other fronts.
A.	Health grants to communities and States
In safeguarding and advancing the Nation’s health, States and communities have long had special responsibilities. General and special-purpose health grants have proved an effective means of strengthening the Federal Government’s partnership with them in improving the public health.
I have directed the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to study these programs thoroughly and to recommend to me necessary legislation to increase their usefulness.
Authorizations for many of these programs expire at the close of fiscal year 1966. So that a thorough review may be made, I recommend that the Congress extend the authorizations through June 30, 1967.
B.	Consumers health protection
Modernization of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is imperative if our health protection program is to keep pace with the technological and industrial advances of recent years.
The health of all Americans depends on the reliability and safety of the products of the—
Food industry which alone generates nearly $100 billion in retail sales each year;
Drug industry with sales reaching $6 billion;
Cosmetic industry which markets $2.5 billion of products.
All must be operated under the highest standards of purity and safety.
Yet, despite recent improvements in food and drug legislation, serious gaps in our ability to protect the consumei still exist. The law should be strengthened to provide adequate authority in the regulation of nonprescription drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and food.
Narcotics are not alone among the hazardous, habit-forming drugs subject to improper use. Barbiturates, amphetamines, and other drugs have harmful effects when improperly used. Widespread traffic resulting from inadequate controls over the manufacture, distiibu-tion, and sale of these drugs is creating a growing problem which must be met. We must also counter the threat fiom counterfeit drugs.	.
I recommend legislation to bring the production and distribution of barbitu
rates, amphetamines, and other psycho-toxic drugs under more effective control.
For the fuller protection of our families, I recommend legislation to require—
Adequate labeling of hazardous substances.
Safety regulation of cosmetics and therapeutic devices by premarketing examination by the Food and Drug Administration.
Authority to seize counterfeit drugs at their source.
CONCLUSION
I believe we have come to a rare moment of opportunity and challenge in the evolution of our society. In the message I have presented to you—and in other messages I shall be sending—my purpose is to outline the attainable horizons of a greater society which a confident and prudent people can begin to build for the future.
Whatever we aspire to do together, our success in those enterprises—and our enjoyment of the fruits that result— will rest finally upon the health of our people. We cannot and we will not overcome all the barriers—or surmount all the obstacles—in one effort, no matter how intensive. But in all the sectors I have mentioned we are already behind our capability and our potential. Further delay will only compound our problems and deny our people the health and happiness that could be theirs.
The 88th Congress wrote a proud and significant record of accomplishment in the field of health legislation. I have every confidence that this Congress will write an even finer record that will be remembered with honor by generations of Americans to come.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, January 7, 1965.

Mr. DIRKSEN, by unanimous consent, submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 6); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations :
Whereas the Communist regime of the Soviet Union did not come to power in the middle Eastern European countries by legal or democratic processes, but has flouted even the solemn assurances and agreements entered into at the Yalta Conference of February 1945; and
Whereas the Soviet Union has denied self-determination by free election in those countries, resorting not only to heavily manned occupational forces, but also to genocidal activities in the cases of the Baltic States Republics; and
Whereas the sovereignty and independence of the former free governments of the Baltic States were duly recognized and continue to be given diplomatic recognition by the United States, as confirmed by House Resolution 346 of the Eighty-third Congress, agreed to July 27, 1563; and
Whereas the suppression of human freedoms and the denial of free trade and communications with other sovereign countries present a threat to peace, intolerable either to the United States, other free nations, or the international law agencies; and
Whereas the governments and peoples of the Baltic States have always been in close relation with the United States and constantly continue to prove their belief in democracy through the work and blood of their peoples: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President is hereby requested to take such action as may be necessary to bring before the United Nations for its consideration the question of the forceful incorporation of the Baltic States Republics into the Soviet Union, and a resolution declaring that—

PROPOSALS ON EDUCATION
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
To the Congress of the United States:
In 1787, the Continental Congress declared in the Northwest Ordinance, “Schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”
January 12
America is strong and prosperous and free because for 178 years we have honored that commitment.
In the United States today, one-quarter of all Americans are in the Nation’s classrooms.
High school attendance has grown eighteenfold since the turn of the century—six times as fast as the population.
College enrollment has advanced eightyfold. Americans today support a fourth of the world’s institutions of higher learning and a third of its professors and college students.
In the life of the individual, education is always an unfinished task.
And in the life of this Nation, the advancement of education is a continuing challenge.
There is a darker side to education in America.
One student out of every three now in the fifth grade will drop out before finishing high school—if the present rate continues.
Almost a million young people will continue to quit school each year—if our schools fail to stimulate their desire to learn.
Over 100,000 of our brightest high school graduates each year will not go to college—and many others will leave college—if the opportunity for higher education is not expanded.
The cost of this neglect runs high— both for the youth and the Nation: Unemployment of young people with an eighth grade education or less is four times the national average. Jobs filled by high school graduates rose by 40 percent in the last 10 years. Jobs for those with less schooling decreased by nearly 10 percent.
We can measure the cost in even starker terms. We now spend about $450 a year per child in our public schools. But we spend $1,800 a year to keep a delinquent youth in a detention home, $2,500 a year for a family on relief, $3,500 a year for a criminal in State prison.
The growing numbers of young people reaching school age demand that we move swiftly even to stand still. Attendance in elementary and secondary schools will increase by 4 million in the next 5 years; 400,000 new classrooms will be needed to meet this growth. But almost one-half million of the Nation’s existing classrooms are already more than 30 years old. The post-World War II boom in babies has now reached college age. And by 1970, our colleges must be prepared to add 50 percent more enrollment to their presently overcrowded facilities.
In the past, Congress has supported an increasing commitment to education in America. Last year, I signed historic measures passed by the 88th Congress to provide—
Facilities badly needed by universities, colleges, and community colleges;
Major new resources for vocational training;
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
47
More loans and fellowships for students enrolled in higher education; and
Enlarged and improved training for physicians, dentists, and nurses.
I propose that the 89th Congress join me in extending the commitment still further. I propose that we declare a national goal of full educational opportunity.
Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take.
We want this not only for his sake— but for the Nation’s sake.
Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not our military preparedness, for armed might is worthless if we lack the brainpower to build a world of peace; not our productive economy, for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government, for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.
We must demand that our schools increase not only the quantity but the quality of America’s education. For we recognize that nuclear age problems cannot be solved with horse-and-buggy learning. The three R’s of our school system must be supported by the three T’s—teachers who are superior, techniques of instruction that are modern, and thinking about education which places it first in all our plans and hopes.
Specifically, four major tasks confront
To bring better education to millions of disadvantaged youth who need it most;
To put the best educational equipment and ideas and innovations within reach of all students;
To advantage the technology of teaching and the training of teachers; and
To provide incentives for those who wish to learn at every stage along the road to learning.
Our program must match the magnitude of these tasks. The budget on education which I request for fiscal year 1966 will contain a total of $4.1 billion. This includes $1.1 billion to finance programs established by the 88th Congress. I will submit a request for $1.5 billion in new obligational authority to finance the programs described in this message. This expenditure is a small price to pay for developing our Nation’s most priceless resource.
In all that we do, we mean to strengthen our State and community educational systems. Federal assistance does not mean Federal control—as past programs have proven. The late Senator Robert Taft declared: “Education is primarily a State function—but in the field of education, as in the fields of health, relief, and medical care, the Federal Government has a secondary obligation to see that there is a basic floor under those essential services for all adults and children in the United States.”
In this spirit, I urge that we now push ahead with the No. 1 business of the American people—the education of our youth in preschools, elementary and sec-
35-100— s J—89-1--4
ondary schools, and in the colleges and universities.
I.	PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
My budget will include up to $150 million for preschool projects under the community action program of the Economic Opportunity Act.
Education must begin with the very young. The child from the urban or rural slum frequently misses his chance even before he begins school. Tests show that he is usually a year behind in academic attainment by the time he reaches the third grade—and up to 3 years behind if he reaches the eighth grade. By then the handicap has grown too great for many children. Their horizons have narrowed; their prospects for lifetimes of failure have hardened. A large percentage of our young people whose family incomes are less than $2,000 do not go beyond the eighth grade.
Preschool programs have demonstrated marked success in overcoming this initial handicap. In New York City, children from slum neighborhoods who attended nursery school have performed better when tested in the third and fourth grades than those who did not attend. In Baltimore, children with language and cultural handicaps are being helped greatly by a preschool program. According to preliminary reports, two-thirds of them are in the top 50 percent of their kindergarten and first grade classes on a citywide measure; one-sixth of them are in the top quarter.
But today, almost half of our school districts conduct no kindergarten classes. Public nursery schools are found in only about 100 of our 26,000 school districts. We must expand our preschool program in order to reach disadvantaged children early.
Action on a wide front will begin this summer through a special headstart program for children who are scheduled to begin school next fall. In addition, funds for low-income schools, regional education laboratories, and supplementary educational centers and services (recommended below) will be devoted to these vital preschool programs.
II.	ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Elementary and secondary schools are the foundation of our education system. Forty-eight million students are now in our grade and high schools. Seventy-one percent of the Nation’s expenditures for education are spent on elementary and secondary schooling.
If these schools are to do their job properly, they need help and they need it now. I propose that we give first priority to a program of:
A.	To low-income school districts
I recommend that legislation be enacted to authorize a major program of assistance to public elementary and secondary schools serving children of low-income families. My budget for fiscal year 1966 will request $1 billion for this new program.
One hundred years ago, a man with 6 or 7 years of schooling stood well above the average. His chances to get ahead
were as good as the next man’s. But today, lack of formal education is likely to mean low wages, frequent unemployment, and a home in an urban or rural slum.
Poverty has many roots, but the taproot is ignorance. Poverty is the lot of two-thirds of the families in which the family head has had 8 years or less of schooling. Twenty percent of the youth aged 18 to 24 with an eighth-grade education or less are unemployed—four times the national average.
Just as ignorance breeds proverty, poverty all too often breeds ignorance in the next generation. Nearly half the youths rejected by selective service for educational deficiency have fathers who are unemployed or else working in unskilled and low income jobs. Fathers of more than one-half of the draft rejectees did not complete the eighth grade.
The burden on the Nation’s schools is not evenly distributed. Low-income families are heavily concentrated in particular urban neighborhoods or rural areas. Faced with the largest educational needs, many of these school districts have inadequate financial resources. This imbalance has been increased by the movement of high-income families from the center of cities to the suburbs—and their replacement by low-income families from rural areas. The five States with the lowest incomes spend only an average of $276 per pupil, less than half the average of the five highest income States. Despite a massive effort, our big cities generally spend only about two-thirds as much per pupil as their adjacent suburbs. In our 15 largest cities, 60 percent of the lOth-grade students from poverty neighborhoods drop out before finishing high school.
This is a national problem. Federal action is needed to assist the States and localities in bringing the full benefits of education to children of low-income families.
Assistance will be provided—
On the basis of census data showing the distribution of low-income families among the counties or school districts within States.
Through payments made to States for distribution to school districts.
With the assurance that the funds will be used for improving the quality of education in schools serving low-income areas.
On the condition that Federal funds will not be used to reduce State and local fiscal efforts.
For the benefit of all children within the area served, including those who participate in shared services or other special educational projects.
B.	School library resources and instructional materials
I recommend legislation to authorize Federal grants to States to assist in the purchase of books for school libraries and for student use, to be made available to children in public and private nonprofit elementary and secondary schools.
Thomas Carlyle once said, “All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or
48
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 12
been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.”
Yet our school libraries are limping along. Almost 70 percent of the public elementary schools have no libraries; 84 percent lack librarians to teach children the value of learning through good books. Many schools have an average of less than one-half book per child. To meet the accepted standards for library materials would require a fourfold increase in current expenditures in our major cities.
The explosion of knowledge and the rapid revision of curriculums in the schools has created new demands for school textbooks. The obsolete text can suffocate the learning process. Yet the cost of purchasing textbooks at increasing prices puts a major obstacle in the path of education—an obstacle that can and must be eliminated.
C.	Supplementary educational center and services
I recommend a program of Federal grants for supplementary education centers and services within the community.
We think of schools as places where youth learns, but our schools also need to learn.
The educational gap we fact is one of quality as well as quantity.
Exciting experiments in education are underway, supported by the National Science Foundation, by the Office of Education, and other Government agencies, and by private philanthropic foundations. Many of our children have studied the “new” math. There are highly effective ways of teaching high school physics, biology, chemistry, and foreign languages.
We need to take full advantage of these and other innovations. Specialists can spark the interest of disadvantaged students. Remedial reading courses open up new vistas for slow learners. Gifted students can be brought along at a faster pace.
Yet such special educational services are not available in many communities. A limited local tax base cannot stand the expense. Most individual schools are not large enough to justify the services.
The supplementary center can provide such services as—
Special courses in science, foreign languages, literature, music, and art.
Programs for the physically handicapped and mentally retarded.
Instruction in the sciences and humanities during the summer for economically and culturally deprived children.
Special assistance after regular school hours.
Common facilities that can be maintained more efficiently for a group of schools than for a single school— laboratories, libraries, auditoriums, and theaters.
A system by which gifted persons can teach part time to provide scarce talents.
A means of introducing into the school system new courses, instructional materials, and teaching practices.
A way of tapping the community’s extracurricular- resources for the benefits of students—museums, concert and lecture programs, and industrial laboratories.
Within each community, public and private nonprofit schools and agencies will cooperate to devise the plan and administer the program for these supplementary centers. Their services should be adapted to meet the pressing needs of each locality.
D.	Regional educational laboratories
I recommend the establishment under the Cooperative Research Act of regional educational laboratories which will undertake research, train teachers, and implement tested research findings.
I further recommend amendments to the act to—
Broaden the types of research organizations now eligible for educational projects.
Train educational research personnel.
Provide grants for research, development of new curriculums, dissemination of information, and implementation of educational innovations.
Support construction of research facilities and the purchase of research equipment.
Under auspices of the National Science Foundation, educators have worked with scientists—including Nobel laureates—to develop courses which capture the excitement of contemporary science. They have prepared totally new instructional materials—laboratory equipment, textbooks, teachers’ guides, films, supplementary reading, and examinations. After testing, they are made available to public and private schools.
We need to extend our research and development to history, literature, and economics; to art and music; to reading, writing, and speaking; to occupational, vocational, and technical education. We need to extend it to all stages of learning—preschool, elementary and secondary schools, college and graduate training.
Regional laboratories for education offer great promise. They draw equally upon educators and the practitioners in all fields of learning—mathematicians, scientists, social scientists, linguists, musicians, artists, and writers. They help both to improve curriculums and to train teachers.
E.	Strengthening State educational agencies
I recommend a program of grants to State educational agencies.
State leadership becomes increasingly important as we seek to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education.
We should assist the States by strengthening State departments of education in their efforts to—
Provide consultative and technical assistance for local school districts and local school leadership.
Formulate long-range plans.
Expand educational research and development.
Improve local and State information about education.
Identify emerging educational problems.
Provide for the training of State and local education personnel.
Conduct periodic evaluation of educational programs.
Promote teacher improvement courses.
These new programs will substantially augment community resources in the war against poverty. As provided by sections 611 and 612 of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, I will see that the new efforts are kept in step with our other antipoverty efforts.
In those localities where the community has undertaken a community action program under the Economic Opportunity Act, the community agency should participate in the planning of these new educational programs and in their coordination with ongoing and developing antipoverty efforts.
Enactment of these proposals for elementary and secondary education is of utmost urgency. I urge early and favorable consideration by the Congress.
III. HIGHER EDUCATION
Higher education is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
Programs enacted by Congress in the past have contributed greatly to strengthening our colleges and universities. These will be carried forward under my 1966 budget, which includes—
An additional $179 million to assist construction of college classrooms, libraries, and laboratories.
An additional $25 million for 4,500 more graduate fellowships to overcome college teaching shortages.
An additional $110 million to further basic research in the universities, to provide science fellowships, and to promote science education.
But we need to do more—
To extend the opportunity for higher education more broadly among lower and middle income families.
To help small and less well developed colleges improve their programs.
To enrich the library resources cf colleges and universities.
To draw upon the unique and invaluable resources of our great universities to deal with national problems of poverty and community development.
A.	Assistance to students
1.	Scholarships:
I recommend a program of scholarships for needy and qualified high school graduates to enable them to enter and to continue in college.
Loans authorized by the National Defense Education Act currently assist nearly 300,000 college students. Still the following conditions exist:
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
49
Each year an estimated 100,000 young people of demonstrated ability fail to go on to college because of lack of money. Many thousands more from low-income families must borrow heavily to meet college costs.
Only one out of three young people from low-income families attend college compared with four out of five from high-income families.
For many young people from poor families, loans are not enough to open the way to higher education.
Under this program, a special effort will be made to identify needy students of promise early in their high school careers. The scholarship will serve as a building block, to be augmented by work-study and other support, so that the needy student can chart his own course in higher studies.
My 1966 budget provides sufficient funds for grants to help up to 140,000 students in the first year.
2.	Expansion of work-study opportunity and guaranteed low-interest loans:
I recommend—
That the existing college work-study program be made available to more students and that authority for the program be transferred to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
That a part of the cost of interest payments on guaranteed private loans to college students be paid by the Federal Government.
Going to college is increasingly expensive. A student must pay nearly $2,400 a year in a private college and about $1,600 in a public college. These costs may rise by one-third over the next decade.
Two aids should be extended to meet the heavy costs of college education. First, the existing work-study program should be expanded for students from low-income families and extended to students from middle-income families. Under this program the Federal Government pays 90 percent of the wages earned by students on useful projects. This will enable a student to earn on the average of $450 during a school year, and up to $500 more during the summer.
Second, many families cannot cover all of college expenses on an out-of-pocket basis. We should assure greater availability of private credit on reasonable terms and conditions. This can best be done by paying part of interest cost of guaranteed loans made by private lenders—a more effective, fairer, and far less costly way of providing assistance than the various tax credit devices which have been proposed.
B.	Aid to smaller colleges
I recommend that legislation be enacted to strengthen less developed colleges.
Many of our smaller colleges are battling for survival. About 10 percent lack proper accreditation, and others face constantly the threat of losing accreditation. Many are isolated from the main currents of academic life.
Private sources and States alone cannot carry the whole burden of doing what must be done for these important units in oui’ total educational system. Federal aid is essential.
Universities should be encouraged to enter into cooperative relationships to help less developed colleges, including such assistance as—
A program of faculty exchanges.
Special programs to enable faculty members of small colleges to renew and extend knowledge of their fields.
A national fellowship program to encourage highly qualified young graduate students and instructors in large universities to augment the teaching resources of small colleges.
The development of joint programs to make more efficient use of available facilities and faculty.
In union there is strength. This is the basic premise of my recommendation.
C.	More support for college library resources
I recommend enactment of legislation for purchase of books and library materials to strengthen college teaching and research.
Fifty percent of our 4-year institutions and 82 percent of our 2-year institutions fall below accepted professional standards in the number of volumes possessed.
As student enrollment mounts, we must look not only to the physical growth of our colleges and universities. They must be developed as true centers of intellectual activity. To construct a library building is meaningless unless there are books to bring life to the library.
D.	University-community extension program
I recommend a program of grants to support university extension concentrating on problems of the community.
Institutions of higher learning are being called on ever more frecuently for public service—for defense research, foreign development, and countless other programs. They have performed magnificently. We must now call upon them to meet new needs.
Once 90 percent of our population earned its living from the land. A wise Congress enacted the Morrill Act of 1862 and the Hatch Act of 1887 which helped the State universities help the American people. With the aid of the land-grant colleges, American agriculture produced overwhelming abundance.
Today, 70 percent of our people live in urban communities. They are confronted by problems of poverty, residential blight, polluted air and water, inadequate mass transportation and health services, strained human relations, and overburdened municipal services.
Our great universities have the skills and knowledge to match these mountainous problems. They can offer expert guidance, in community planning; research and development in pressing educational problems; economic and job market studies; continuing education of the community’s professional and business leadership; and programs for the disadvantaged.
The role of the university must extend far beyond the ordinary extensive-type operation. Its research findings and talents must be made available to the community. Faculty must be called upon for consulting activities. Pilot projects, seminars, conferences, TV programs, and task forces drawing on many departments of the university—all should be brought into play.
This is a demanding assignment for the universities, and many are not now ready for it. The time has come for us to help the university to face problems of the city as it once faced problems of the farm.
E.	Special manpower needs
We must also ask the colleges and universities to help overcome certain acute deficiencies in trained manpower. At least 100,000 more professional librarians are needed for service in public libraries and in schools and colleges. We need 140,000 more teachers for handicapped children.
I recommend—
Grants to institutions of higher education for training of school, college, and community librarians and related services.
Extension and expansion of grants for training teachers and handicapped children.
CONCLUSION
In 1838, Mirabeau B. Lamar, the second President of the Republic of Texas and the father of Texas education, declared: “The cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy. It is the only dictator that freeman acknowledges. It is the only security that freeman desires.”
Throughout the history of our Nation, the United States has recognized this truth. But during the periods when the country has been most astir with creative activity, when it most keenly sensed the sturdiness of the old reaching out for the vigor of the new, it has given special attention to its educational system.
This was true in the expansive 1820’s and 1830’s, when the American people acted decisively to build a public school system for the lower grades. It was no less true at the vigorous turn of the 20th century, when high schools were developed for the millions. Again, during the questing 1930’s, fresh ideas stirred the traditions of the ruler and blackboard.
We are now embarked on another venture to put the American dream to work in meeting the new demands of a new day. Once again we must start where men who would improve their society have always known they must begin— with an educational system restudied, reinforced, and revitalized.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THE SENATE
Mr. JAVITS submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 26); which was referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration:
Section 1. (a) One of the most vital concerns of a free and representative government is the maintenance of moral and ethical standards for their representatives which are above cause for reproach and warrant the confidence of the people. The people are entitled to expect from their elected representatives in the Federal Government and the employees of the legislative branch a standard above that of the marketplace, for these public servants are entrusted with the welfare of the Nation. Yet these standards must be practical and should be fairly representative of the people who elect their representatives. Some conflicts of interest are clearly wrong and should be proscribed by sanctions in the criminal law; however, many are composed of such diverse circumstances, events, and intangible and indirect concerns that only the individual conscience can serve as a practical guide. But there are many possibilities of conflict in that shadowland of conduct for which guidance would be useful and healthy, but for which the criminal law is neither suited nor suitable. Therefore, the Senate finds that a Code of Ethics is desirable for the guidance and protection of its Members and the officers and employees of the Senate, by establishing the standards of conduct reasonably to be expected of them.
(b) It is also the purpose of this resolution to provide for a thorough study and investigation to determine necessary and desirable changes in existing conflicts of interest statutes applying to Members of the Senate and to officers and employees of the Senate, and to develop a comprehensive code of ethics for the guidance of such Members, officers, and employees, by which the purposes of this resolution may be more fully assured in the conduct of the public business in the Senate.
DUTIES OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON STANDARDS AND CONDUCT
Sec. 2. (a) It shall be the duty of the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct (referred to hereinafter as the “Select Committee”) to undertake a thorough study and investigation of the ways and means by which the policy objectives set forth in section 1 of this resolution can further be assured. In the conduct of such study and investigation the Select Committee shall, among other things, determine to what extent existing conflict of interest laws or regulations applicable to the legislative branch should be strengthened, and it shall recommend a comprehensive Senate Code of Ethics, in the formulation of which it shall have considered the following subjects:
(1)	Outside employment or professional or business activity by Members
January 12
of the Senate or officers or employees of the Senate;
(2)	Disclosure by Members of the Senate or officers or employees of the Senate of confidential information acquired in the course of official duties or the use thereof for personal advantage;
(3)	Use of their official position by Members of the Senate or officers or employees of the Senate to secure unwarranted privileges or exemptions for themselves or others;
(4)	Dealing by Members of the Senate or officers or employees of the Senate in their official capacities with matters in which they have a substantial pecuniary interest;
(5)	Conduct by Members of the Senate or officers or employees of the Senate which gives reasonable cause for public suspicion of violation of public trust; and
(6)	Other matters concerning official propriety and the integrity of the public service as it relates to Members of the Senate and to officers or employees of the Senate.
(b) The Select Committee shall report to the Senate the result of its investigations together with such recommendations for the establishment of a Senate Code of Ethics as it may deem advisable. Such report shall be submitted no later than one year after the effective date of this resolution.
INTERIM CODE OF ETHICS
Sec. 3. Senate Resolution 338, 88th Congress, agreed to July 24, 1964 (relating to the establishment of the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct), is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new section:
“Sec. 6. For the purposes of guidance for Members of the Senate and officers and employees of the Senate during the period during which the select committee is considering the provisions of an appropriate Senate Code of Ethics, the Senate hereby adopts the following standards as a guide to such Members, officers, and employees:
“ (a) No Member of the Senate, or officer or employee of the Senate, should have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect or engage in any business transaction, or professional activity or incur any obligation of any nature whether financial or moral, which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest; nor should any Member of the Senate, or any officer or employee of the Senate, give substantial and reasonable cause to the public to believe that he is acting in breach of his public trust.
“(b) In addition to the general rule set forth in paragraph (a), the following standards are applied to certain specified transactions:
“(1) No Member of the Senate, or any officer or employee of the Senate, should accept other employment which will tend to impair his independence of judgment in the exercise of his official duties.
“(2) No Member of the Senate, or any officer or employee of the Senate, should accept employment or engage in any business or professional activity which
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

will tend to involve his disclosure or use of confidential information which he has gained by reason of his official position or authority.
“(3) No Member of the Senate, or any officer or employee of the Senate, should disclose confidential information acquired by him in the course of his official duties or use such information for other than official purposes.
“(4) No Member of the Senate, or any officer or employee of the Senate, should use or attempt to use his official position to secure unwarranted privileges or exemptions for himself or others.
“(5) A Member of the Senate, or an officer or employee of the Senate, should not by his conduct give reasonable cause for belief that any person can improperly influence him or unduly enjoy his favor in the performance of his official duties, or that he is affected by the kinship, rank, position, or influence of any person or political party.
“(6) A Member of the Senate, or an officer or employee of the Senate, should endeavor to pursue a course of conduct which will not give reasonable cause for belief that he is likely to violate his trust.
“(7) Any Member of the Senate, and any officer or employee of the Senate having a financial interest, direct or indirect, which has a value of $5,000 or more, in any activity which is subject to the jurisdiction of a regulatory agency, should file with the Comptroller General a statement setting forth the nature of such interest in such reasonable detail, and in accordance with such regulations as shall be prescribed by the Comptroller General. As used herein, the term ‘regulatory agency’ shall include such agencies as shall be designated by the Comptroller General, which list shall be published in the Federal Register as soon as practicable.
“(8) Any Member of the Senate who has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the passage or defeat of any legislative measure should declare the nature and extent of such pecuniary interest before casting any vote with respect thereto upon the floor of the Senate or in any committee or subcommittee of the Senate.
“(9) Any officer or employee of the Senate who has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the passage or defeat of any legislative measure, before engaging in the rendition of any service with respect to that measure for or on behalf of any Member of the Senate or any committee or subcommittee of the Senate, should declare to such Member, committee, or subcommittee the nature and extent of such pecuniary interest.
“(10) No Member of the Senate, and no officer or employee of the Senate, should solicit or accept any substantial loan or gift from any other person who has or may have any substantial direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the passage or defeat of any legislative measure upon which such Member has or may have occasion to cast his vote as a Member of the Senate, or with respect to which such officer or employee has or
may have occasion to render any service as an officer or employee of the Senate.”

The White House, January 14,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I transmit herewith a copy of a letter dated January 8, 1965, to me for transmittal to the Congress by the Administrator of the National Capital Transportation Agency in accordance with the provisions of section 204(b) (2) of the National Capital Transportation Act of 1960.

Sincerely,

INCREASING APPROPRIATIONS FOR ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT ACT
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
The White House, January 15,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to forward today to the Congress—with my strongest urging that it be enacted promptly—a draft of a bill to assure the continuing leadership of the United States in the purposeful pursuit of peace.
Four years ago, the United States became the first nation in the world to establish an Agency for Arms Control and Disarmament. The record of achievement since has refuted the doubts of those who questioned whether there was effective work for such an agency to perform. While the journey toward peace remains long, we have begun to take the first steps—and we have found others of the family of nations willing to walk with us.
In the last year and a half, we have concluded the nuclear test ban treaty now joined by over 100 other nations. We have established a direct communications link between Washington and Moscow, joined in a United Nations resolution against weapons in space, and initiated cutbacks in the planned production of fissionable material—a step which the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union have announced that they intend to take also.
We have, in addition, placed before the 18-nation Disarmament Conference in Geneva a number of important, concrete proposals for the control and reduction of armaments on which agreement has not yet been achieved.
In our times, as always, vigilance remains the price of liberty and we stand today as a strong, ready, and vigilant nation, prepared and determined to defend our freedom and the freedom of those who stand with us. But, as a na
tion vigilant to danger, we must also be vigilant for opportunities for improving the hopes for peace. The Arms Control and Disarmament Agency helps us keep this most vital vigil.
Since existing authorization expires on June 30, 1965, I am asking the Congress to extend that authority for 4 years. I do so because it is my purpose to intensify our efforts in this critical area. I am determined to work in every way that I can for safeguarded agreements that will halt the spread of nuclear weapons, lessen the risk of war, and reduce the dangers and costly burdens of armaments. This effort—as much as our continuing preparedness efforts militarily—is essential to our security for a continued increase and spread of modern weapons can actually decrease our security.
The first legislation creating the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is a proud and honored memorial to the initiative and vision of President John F. Kennedy. It is also a living tribute to the responsibility of the Members of Congress and, in particular, to the dedicated leadership offered through the years by the Vice-President-elect. Such legislation so clearly reflects the spirit and the will of the American people that I hope the Congress will act with all dispatch to give approval to this extension of the Agency’s valuable role.
The background and justification for my recommendation are amplified in the accompanying letter to me from the Director of the Agency, William C. Foster. I share Mr. Foster’s conclusions fully and confidently trust that the action of the Congress will impressively reaffirm to the world the dedication of this generation of Americans to the untiring quest for peace for ourselves and all mankind.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Carl Hayden, President pro tempore of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

WORLD’S FAIR IN CHICAGO IN 1976
Mr. DIRKSEN (for himself and Mr. Douglas) submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 7); which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
Whereas the United States of America will commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of its independence in the year 1976; and
Whereas it is appropriate that there be held a world’s fair in the United States of America dedicated to the memory of the historic events that culminated in the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the year 1776; and
Whereas the President of the United States has declared that there will be held a gigantic world’s fair in the United States in the year 1976 to celebrate the two centuries of independence of this Nation; and
Whereas the first city in the United States to commence planning for a gigantic world’s fair to be held in the year 1976 to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of the independence of this Nation was the city of Chicago where such planning was commenced in the year 1954 through a group of public spirited citizens residing in the State of Illinois and which group constituted the “Committee of ’76”; and
Whereas the city of Chicago, located in the geographic heart of the United States, is the proper place to observe and celebrate this epic and historic event, since the transportation facilities, the housing facilities and restaurant accommodations of the city of Chicago are unsurpassed anywhere in the world and since the city of Chicago has a record of sponsoring successful world’s fairs, such as the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and the Century of Progress in 1933; and since by 1976 the city of Chicago will not have sponsored a world’s fair for more than forty years; and
Whereas the citizens of the city of Chicago, the mayor of the city of Chicago, the president of the board of commissioners of Cook County, and the Governor of the State of Illinois, and the Legislature of the State of Illinois have gone on record encouraging and promoting the holding of a world’s fair in Chicago in the year 1976, and responsible and important planning has already taken place toward the objective of holding such a world’s fair in Chicago in 1976: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the two Houses view with great favor and encouragement the activities of the Chicago citizens of the “Committee of ’76” in their efforts to plan a world’s fair in Chicago in the year 1976 to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of the independence of the United States of America.

Whereas this intrepid girl, with a newborn baby strapped to her back, facing hunger, danger, and the adversities of weather, led the expedition through Indian territory and uncharted areas; and
Whereas Sakakawea is a symbol of devotion to duty and country and an inspiration to the Girl Scouts of America: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Sakakawea Council of the Girl Scouts of America, consider and determine that proper respect, honor, and appreciation be symbolized through the erection of a fitting monument to her to be located in or near Bismarck, North Dakota, the place where she joined the historymaking expedition; and it is further
Resolved, That the city of Bismarck, county of Burleigh, State of North Dakota, and the United States of America be and are hereby memorialized to assist in the perpetuation of the memory of Sakakawea.

Here is our difference with the Communists—and our strength. They would use their skills to forge new chains of tyranny. We would use ours to free men from the bonds of the past.
The Communists are hard at work to dominate the less-developed nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Their allies are the ancient enemies of mankind: Tyranny, poverty, ignorance, and disease. If freedom is to prevail, we must do more than meet the immediate threat to free world security, whether in southeast Asia or elsewhere. We must look beyond—to the long-range needs of the developing nations.
Foreign assistance programs reach beyond today’s crises, to offer—
Strength to those who would be free;
Hope for those who would otherwise despair;
Progress for those who would help themselves.
Through these programs we help build stable nations in a stable world.
ii
Acting on the experience of the past 4 years, I am presenting a program which—
Is selective and concentrated;
Emphasizes self-help and the fastest possible termination of dependence on aid;
Provides an increasing role for private enterprise;
Improves multilateral coordination of development aid; and
Reflects continuing improvement in management.
Specifically, for fiscal year 1966 I recommend—
No additional authorizations for development lending or the Alliance for Progress; existing authorizations for those purposes are adequate;
Authorizations of $1,170 million for military assistance;
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

$369 million for supporting assistance;
$210 million for technical cooperation;
$155 million for contributions to international organizations ;
$50 million for the President’s contingency fund; and
$62 million for administrative and miscellaneous expenses.
I am also requesting a special standby authorization for use if necessary in Vietnam only.
My appropriation request for fiscal year 1966 under these authorizations is for $3,380 million: $1,170 million will be used for military assistance; $2,210 million is for the other categories of aid.
This is a minimum request, the smallest in the history of the foreign aid program. It is $136 million less than requested last year, and will impose the smallest assistance burden on the American people since the beginning of the Marshall plan in 1948.
This minimum request reflects my determination to present to the Congress the lowest aid budget consistent with the national interest. It takes full account of the increasing efficiency of the assistance program, and the increasing availability of assistance funds from international agencies in which the costs are shared among a number of countries.
I believe that in carrying out this program the American people will get full value for their money. Indeed, we cannot afford to do less. Russia and Red China have tripled their promises of aid in the past year. They are doing more than they have ever done before; the competition between them has led to increased efforts by each to influence the course of events in the developing nations.
If, during the year, situations should arise which require additional amounts of U.S. assistance to advance vital U.S. interests, I shall not hesitate to inform the Congress and request additional funds.
m
I am requesting $1,170 million for the military assistance program. This is an increase of $115 million over the total appropriation for military assistance for the current fiscal year. In order to meet urgent requirements in southeast Asia during fiscal year 1965, we cut back programs in other countries which are under pressure. Some of the fiscal year 1966 appropriation will be needed to make up what we have left undone.
Still, the program is highly concentrated. Nearly three-quarters of the money will go to 11 countries around the great arc from Greece to Korea. Vietnam alone will absorb an important share.
Military assistance makes it possible for nations to survive. It provides a shield behind which economic and social development can take place. It is vital to our own security as well. It helps to maintain more than 3 V2 million men under arms as a deterrent to aggression in countries bordering on the Sino-Soviet world. Without them, more American
men would have to be stationed overseas, and we would have to spend far more for defense than we now do.
IV
As a supplement to military assistance, I am requesting $369 million for supporting assistance—economic aid which is directly related to the maintenance of stability and security. Eighty-eight percent of the money will be used in Vietnam, Laos, Korea, and Jordan.
v
The world’s trouble spots—the Vietnams and the Congos—dominate the headlines. This is no wonder, for they represent serious problems. Over $500 million of the current request for military and supporting assistance will be deployed to meet the frontal attack in Vietnam and Laos.
Indeed, $500 million may not be enough. I am therefore requesting for fiscal year 1966 an additional standby authorization for military or supporting assistance which would be used only in Vietnam and only in case we should need more funds to protect our interests there. Any program which would make use of this additional authorization will be presented to the authorizing committees of the Congress concurrently with the appropriation request.
Our past investment in the defense of the free world through the military assistance and supporting assistance programs has paid great dividends. Not only has it foiled aggressions, but it has brought stability to a number of countries. Since the beginning of this decade, the funds used each year for military aid and supporting assistance have been sharply reduced. Today, we are spending $1 billion less on these accounts than we did in 1960 and 1961.
VI
Military security in the developing world will not be sufficient to our purposes unless the ordinary people begin to feel some improvement in their lives and see ahead to a time when their children can live in decency. It follows that economic growth in these regions means as much to our security as their military strength. That is an important reason why the United States has taken the lead during the past few years in organizing, on an international basis, a program of development assistance.
Of course, such assistance is and must be concentrated where it will contribute to lasting progress. Experience has demonstrated that certain requirements need to be met by the developing countries if such progress is to occur.
They need to undertake sound measures of self-help—to mobilize their own resources, eliminate waste, and do what they can to meet their own needs. And they need to avoid spending their resources on unnecessary armaments and foreign adventures. Our aid can contribute to their economic and social progress only if it can be provided within a framework of constructive and sensible policies and programs.
Fortunately, most of the developing countries recognize the relationship between the wise use of their own resources and the effectiveness and availability of external aid.
It is a cardinal principle of U.S. policy that development assistance will go to countries which have undertaken effective programs of self-help and are, therefore, able to make good use of aid. During fiscal year 1964, for example, 64 percent of our development assistance went to seven such countries: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Brazil, and Chile. In other countries as well, including a number of smaller countries, sound self-help efforts are making it possible for us to provide effective development aid.
With development assistance we seek to help countries reach, as rapidly as possible, the point at which further progress is possible without external aid.
A striking example of how, through self-help, a developing country can reach the point where it can carry on without concessional aid is the Republic of China. Little more than 10 years ago, free China faced enormous security and development problems. The prospects for economic growth looked dim. But in only 10 years, as a result of determined self-help supplemented by effective U.S. aid—
Per capita gross national product has risen 45 percent;
Saving accounts for one-fifth of the national income;
Exports have tripled;
Industrial output has tripled;
The private share of output has doubled, and now accounts for two-thirds of all industrial production;
Agricultural production has increased by 50 percent.
Free China has also joined other nations as a good cash customer for U.S. exports, particularly agricultural commodities.
This remarkable cooperative effort has brought the Republic of China to the point where it no longer needs AID assistance. Fiscal year 1965 marks the end of this successful program.
I am requesting $580 million as our fiscal year 1966 aid commitment to the Alliance for Progress. This is an increase of $70 million over last year’s appropriation.
Impatient expectations of this great joint undertaking have sometimes in the past blinded us to its achievements— achievements which now touch the lives of nearly half of the 200 million people of Latin America. Increasingly, however, the people of the United States have come to recognize what the Alliance means.
To date, a result of U.S. assistance in support of the Alliance—
Over 75,000 teachers have been trained;
Nearly 10 million schoolbooks have been put in circulation;
Over 12 million children are now participating in school lunch pro-

grams—an increase of over 8 million in the past 2y2 years;
Development banks and other credit institutions which support the private sector have been established in 15 countries;
Over 300,000 houses have been or are being built;
Savings and loan associations, nonexistent a few years ago, have now accumulated and are investing local deposits of $75 million;
Twenty-five of our own States have joined the partners for the Alliance program—they bring to bear a vital people-to-people effort on our relationships with Latin America;
Forty U.S. colleges and universities are working to modernize teaching and training in Latin America.
The Inter-American Committee for the Alliance for Progress (CIAP), established to provide even closer ties for mutual economic effort, successfully completed its first review of country performance under the Alliance. The work of this Committee is further evidence that the governments and people of Latin America are accepting increasing responsibility for their own development. The failure of Castroism is becoming clearer each day. More and more, Latin America is facing up to the fundamental problems of poverty, a rapidly growing population, and financial disorder. Increasingly, more and more of these countries are moving toward economic viability and self-sustaining growth.
The Alliance is taking hold. The war on poverty in Latin America is underway. We in the United States are proud of the way our good neighbors to the south are meeting the challenge of development. We are proud, too, of the role the United States is playing in this great effort and pledge our steadily enlarged support.
The problem of food requires special mention.
Growing population and rising standards of living increase the demand for food. Production in most developing countries is barely keeping pace. In some countries, it is actually falling behind.
In the years ahead, if the developing countries are to continue to grow, they must rapidly enlarge their capacity to provide food for their people. Up to a point, they can and should improve their ability to buy some of their food from abroad. For the most part, however, they must expand and diversify their own production of food. This will require many things: Changes in traditional methods, abundant use of fertilizer, greater incentives for producers, and, frequently, changes in pricing practices and more effective organization of distribution.
To meet their needs for food, the developing countries will need help.
We, in the United States, are uniquely equipped to give it.
We are rightly proud of our dynamic and progressive agriculture, with its record of success which contrasts so sharply
with the agricultural failures of the Communist countries. We must use our agricultural abundance and our extensive technical skills to assist the less developed countries to strengthen their ability both to produce and to buy agricultural commodities and, more generally, to support rural development.
We can and must mount a more comprehensive program of technical assistance in agriculture engaging the U.S. Department of Agriculture, our State universities and land-grant colleges, and the most creative of our people in agriculture, marketing, and industry.
At the same time, we can help meet the food needs of the developing nations through our food-for-peace program under Public Law 480. Even under the most favorable conditions, it will be a number of years before the developing countries can produce and import on commercial terms all the food they need. In the interim, our own agricultural plenty can help provide for the hungry and speed the day when these countries can stand on their own feet and pay for their food imports on commercial terms—as happened in the case of Japan and Europe.
VII
We are placing increasing emphasis on the role of private institutions and private enterprise in the development process, and we shall continue to do so.
Foreign aid cannot succeed if we view it as a job for government alone. For government can only do a small part on the job. We must bring to bear on the problems of the developing world, the knowledge and skills and good judgment of people from all walks of American life. The Agency for International Development provides the means for utilizing the resources of private business, of our universities and colleges, of farm groups, labor unions, banks, cooperatives, savings and loan associations, and professional groups.
I am happy to report that most AID-financed capital projects and a large and growing part of technical assistance are already administered by contract with private American firms and institutions.
In this connection, the privately managed International Executive Service Corps has an important role to play. I welcome the interest of business executives in serving overseas.
The Advisory Committee on Private Enterprise in Foreign Aid established by the 88th Congress has been meeting for a number of months. It is working hard. We are looking forward to their report which we hope will suggest new ways of enlarging the role of the private sector in the aid program.
To mobilize additional private capital, and the skills which go with it, I am asking the Congress to enact an investment tax credit. I am also asking for expanded authority in connection with the investment guarantee program of the Foreign Assistance Act. However, such measures to encourage the flow of capital to the developing world can do only a part of the job. The less-developed
countries must pursue policies that will create new opportunities for their own businessmen and a favorable climate for investors from abroad.
We are making a special effort to encourage private enterprise in the developing countries, through—
Technical assistance for private enterprise ;
Productivity centers and schools of business administration for training in management and new techniques;
Commodity loans to provide materials and parts for private business;
Loans to industrial development banks and agricultural credit banks;
Loans to private business.
All of these programs have one object— to get private enterprise more heavily engaged in the task of development.
VIII
We will persist in our efforts to put more aid on a multilateral basis, to improve the coordination of bilateral aid, and to increase the share of the burden borne by other free world nations.
A growing proportion of economic assistance is directly administered by international financial institutions such as the World Bank, IDA, and the InterAmerican Bank. In the past 4 years, such multinational institutions increased their capital assistance to the developing nations by 50 percent. We, in turn, are prepared to increase our contribution to those organizations—as rapidly as other members do so. It is essential that these institutions maintain their international character.
To strengthen multinational aid, and further to strengthen the Alliance for Progress, I urge the Congress promptly to approve the 3-year authorization of $750 million which constitutes the U.S. contribution to the Fund for Special Operations of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Besides channeling aid through multilateral institutions, we are increasingly relying on international consortia and consultative groups to coordinate our bilateral aid with that of others. India, Pakistan, Turkey, Nigeria, and Tunisia are among the countries where such arrangements have been established, in most cases under the auspices of the World Bank. The Inter-American Committee for the Alliance for Progress (CIAP) is fast becoming a most useful forum for the coordination of assistance to Latin American countries.
In addition to these arrangements in support of individual countries and regions, the United States consults regularly with other major donor countries and international agencies in the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
All in all, in fiscal year 1966, 85 percent of U.S. development loans in Asia and Africa will be committed under international arrangements. All U.S. aid to Latin America is made available within the international framework of the Alliance for Progress.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

We are continuing to urge other donors to give more aid on better terms.
Since 1960, new commitments of bilateral economic assistance by other free world nations have increased by 50 percent. In the past year, the United Kingdom has organized a Ministry of Overseas Development. Canada has undertaken a program of lending on terms which are more liberal than ours.
We are particularly concerned about the terms of aid. The burden of debt borne by the developing countries is rising. Their accumulated public foreign debt now runs to about $30 billion. The volume of repayments comes to nearly $5 billion per year and it is rising by 15 percent each year. This is a heavy load for nations with small resources struggling to raise the capital they need for economic and social betterment.
We will continue to emphasize in our discussion with other donors during the coming year the need to improve the terms on which aid is extended.
IX
Tight, effective management is essential for a tight, effective aid program.
I am especially pleased to report to the Congress about the progress being made by the Administrator of the Agency for International Development in improving the management and operations of the program. The result is greater efficiency for less money.
In keeping with our Government-wide economy program, the Agency—
Cut direct hire employment during fiscal year 1964 by 1,200; the downward trend has continued during the past 6 months;
Cut superstructure and overhead; during the past 18 months, separate AID organizations in 13 countries and 27 positions at the mission director and deputy level have been eliminated;
Streamlined management procedures.
Since the Congress adopted the unified approach to the organization of assistance which is reflected in the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act, our aid programs have been better coordinated, better planned, and have better served the requirements of U.S. foreign policy.
We are giving continuing attention to the problem of improving the Agency’s personnel structure and achieving the highest possible quality in our staff. We expect to do so in the context of a program which is designed to strengthen the personnel capabilities of all the foreign affairs agencies of the Government.
AID has made great progress in reducing the effect of economic assistance on our balance of payments.
The bulk of our assistance—well over 80 percent—now take the form of U.S. goods and services, not dollars. Dollar payments abroad have sharply declined. In 1960, the dollar drain to other countries which resulted from the aid program measured over $1 billion. This year and next the drain is expected to be less than $500 million. Moreover, a significant part of this is offset by interest on and repayment of past U.S. loan assistance,
x
In my message on the state of the Union, I spoke of the need to create a harmony between man and society—a harmony which will allow each of us to enlarge the meaning of his life and all of us to elevate the quality of our civilization. The summons is not—and cannot be—addressed to Americans alone. For our own security and well-being, and as responsible freemen, we must seek to share our capacity for growth, and the promise of a better life, with our fellow men around the world.
That is what foreign aid is all about.
We have pledged our strength—economic and military—in defense of those who would be free and in support of those who would join in working toward a stable, prosperous world.
I call upon the Congress to join with me in renewing this pledge and to provide the tools to do the job.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

immigration
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tydings in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
To the Congress of the United States:
A change is needed in our laws dealing with immigration. Four Presidents have called attention to serious defects in this legislation. Action is long overdue.
I am therefore submitting, at the outset of this Congress, a bill designed to correct the deficiencies. I urge that it be accorded priority consideration.
The principal reform called for is the elimination of the national origins quota system. That system is incompatible with our basic American tradition.
Over the years the ancestors of all of us—some 42 million human beings—have migrated to these shores. The fundamental, longtime American attitude has been to ask not where a person comes from but what are his personal qualities. On this basis men and women migrated from every quarter of the globe. By their hard work and their enormously varied talents they hewed a great nation out of a wilderness. By their dedication to liberty and equality, they created a society reflecting man’s most cherished ideals.
Long ago the poet Walt Whitman spoke our pride; “These States are the amplest poem.” We are not merely a nation but a “nation of nations.”
Violation of this tradition by the national origins quota system does incalculable harm. The procedures imply that men and women from some countries are, just because of where they come from, more desirable citizens than others. We have no right to disparage the ancestors of millions of our fellow Americans in this way. Relationships with a number of countries, and hence the success of our foreign policy, is needlessly impeded by this proposition.
The quota system has other grave defects. Too often it arbitrarily denies us immigrants who have outstanding and
sorely needed talents and skills. I do not believe this is either good government or good sense.
Thousands of our citizens are needlessly separated from their parents or other close relatives.
To replace the quota system, the proposed bill relies on a technique of preferential admissions based upon the advantage to our Nation of the skills of the immigrant, and the existence of a close family relationship between the immigrant and the people who are already citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Within this system of preferences, and within the numerical and other limitations prescribed by law, the issuance of visas to prospective immigrants would be based on the order of their application.
First preference under the bill would be given to those with the kind of skills or attainments which make the admission especially advantageous to our society. Other preferences would favor close relatives of citizens and permanent residents, and thus serve to promote the reuniting of families—long a primary goal of American immigration policy. Parents of U.S. citizens could obtain admission without waiting for a quota number.
Transition to the new system would be gradual, over a 5-year period. Thus the possibility of abrupt changes in the pattern of immigration from any nation is eliminated. In addition, the bill would provide that as a general rule no country could be allocated more than 10 percent of the quota numbers available in any one year.
In order to insure that the new system would not impose undue hardship on any of our close allies by suddenly curtailing their emigration, the bill authorizes the President, after consultation with an Immigration Board established by the legislation, to utilize up to 30 percent of the quota numbers available in any year for the purpose of restoring cuts made by the new system in the quotas established by existing law.
Similar authority, permitting the reservation of up to 10 percent of the numbers available in any year, would enable us to meet the needs of refugees fleeing from catastrophe or oppression.
In addition, the bill would—
(1)	Permit numbers not used by any country to be made available to countries where they are needed;
(2)	Eliminate the discriminatory “Asia-Pacific triangle” provisions of the existing law;
(3)	Eliminate discrimination against newly independent countries of the Western Hemisphere by providing nonquota status for natives of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago;
(4)	Afford nonquota status to parents of citizens, and fourth preference to parents of resident aliens;
(5)	Eliminate the requirement that skilled first preference immigrants needed in our economy must actually find an employer here before they can come to the United States;
68
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 19
(6)	Afford a preference to workers with lesser skills who can fill specific needs in short supply;
(7)	Eliminate technical restrictions that have hampered the effective use of the existing fair-share refugee law; and
(8)	Authorize the Secretary of State to require reregistration of quota immigrant visa applicants and to regulate the time of payment of visa fees.
This bill would not alter in any way the many limitations in existing law which prevent an influx of undesirables and safeguard our people against excessive or unregulated immigration. Nothing in the legislation relieves any immigrant of the necessity of satisfying all of the security requirements we now have, or the requirements designed to exclude persons likely to become public charges. No immigrants admitted under this bill could contribute to unemployment in the United States.
The total number of immigrants would not be substantially changed. Under this bill, authorized quota immigration, which now amounts to 158,361 per year, would be increased by less than 7,000.
I urge the Congress to return the United States to an immigration policy which both serves the national interest and continues our traditional ideals. No move could more effectively reaffirm our fundamental belief that a man is to be judged—and judged exclusively—on his worth as a human being.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

STATE OF OUR DEFENSES
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Harris in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services:
To the Congress of the United States:
One hundred seventy-five years ago, in his first annual message, President Washington told the Congress: “Among the many interesting objects which will engage your attention that of providing for the common defense will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.”
For the 89th Congress—as for the 1st Congress—those words of the first President remain a timely charge.
In the 20th year since the end of mankind’s most tragic war you and I are beginning new terms of service. The danger of war remains ever with us. But if the hope of peace is sturdier than at any other time in these two decades, it is because we—and freemen everywhere—have proved preparedness to be “the most effectual means of preserving peace.”
Arms alone cannot assure the security of any society or the preservation of any peace. The health and education of our people, the vitality of our economy, the equality of our justice, the vision and fulfillment of our aspirations are all factors in America’s strength and wellbeing.
Today we can walk the road of peace because we have the strength we need. We have built that strength with courage. We have employed it with care. We have maintained it with conviction that the reward of our resolution will be peace and freedom.
We covet no territory; we seek no dominion; we fear no nation; we despise
no people. With our arms we seek to shelter the peace of mankind.
In this spirit, then, I wish to consider with you the state of our defenses, the policies we pursue, and—as Commander in Chief—to offer recommendations on our course for the future.
i
THE STATE OF OUR DEFENSES
I am able to report to you that the United States today is stronger militarily than at any other time in our peacetime history.
Under our free and open society, the American people have succeeded in building a strength of arms greater than that ever assembled by any other nation and greater now than that of any combination of adversaries.
This strength is not the handiwork of any one administration. Our force in being and in place reflects the continuity and constancy of America’s purpose under four administrations and eight Congresses—and this responsible conduct of our system is, of itself, a source of meaningful strength.
For the past 4 years, the focus of our national effort has been upon assuring an indisputable margin of superiority for our defenses. I can report today that effort has succeeded.
Our strategic nuclear power on alert has increased threefold in 4 years.
Our tactical nuclear power has been greatly expanded.
Our forces have been made as versatile as the threats to peace are various.
Our Special Forces, trained for the undeclared, twilight wars of today have been expanded eightfold.
Our combat-ready Army divisions have been increased by 45 percent.
Our Marine Corps has been increased by 15,000 men.
Our airlift capacity to move these troops rapidly anywhere in the world has been doubled.
Our tactical Air Force firepower to support these divisions in the field has increased 100 percent.
This strength has been developed to support our basic military strategy—a strategy of strength and readiness, capable of countering aggression with appropriate force from ballistic missiles to guerrilla bands.
Our forces are balanced and ready, mobile and diverse. Our allies trust our strength and our adversaries respect it. But the challenge is unceasing. The forms of conflict become more subtle and more complex every day. We must—and we shall—adapt our forces and our tactics to fulfill our purposes.
If our military strength is to be fully usable in times requiring adaptation and response to changing challenges, that strength must be so organized and so managed that it may be employed with planned precision as well as promptness.
The state of our defense is enhanced today because we have established an orderly system for informed decisionmaking and planning.
Our planning and budgeting programs are now conducted on a continuing 5-year basis and cover our total military requirements.
Our national strategy, military force structure, contingency plans, and defense budget are all now related in an integrated plan.
Our orderly decisionmaking now combines our best military judgment with the most advanced scientific and analytical techniques.
Our military policy under the Secretary of Defense is now more closely tied than ever to the conduct of foreign policy under the Secretary of State.
Thus, we now have the ability to provide and maintain a balanced, flexible military force, capable of meeting the changing requirements of a constantly changing challenge.
II
BASIC DEFENSE POLICIES
1.	Four years ago, President John F. Kennedy stated to the Congress and the world: “The primary purpose of our arms is peace, not war.” That is still their purpose. We are armed, not for conquest, but to insure our own security and to encourage the settlement of international differences by peaceful processes.
We are not a militaristic people, and we have long denounced the use of force in pursuit of national ambition. We seek to avoid a nuclear holocaust in which there can be neither victory nor victors. But we shall never again return to a world where peace-loving men must stand helpless in the path of those who, heedless of destruction and human suffering, take up war and oppression in pursuit of their own ambitions.
2.	The strength of our strategic retaliatory forces must deter nuclear attack on the United States or our allies.
The forces we now have give that capability.
The United States has—
More than 850 land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles;
More than 300 nuclear-armed missiles in Polaris submarines;
More than 900 strategic bombers, half of them ready at all times to be airborne within 15 minutes.
These strategic forces on alert are superior, in number and in quality, to those of any other nation.
To maintain our superiority, the immediate future will see further increases in our missile strength, as well as concentration on further technological improvements and continuing vigorous research and development.
We are—
Requesting more than $300 million to continue our program for extending the life and improving the capabilities of our B-52 strategic bombers, while eliminating two squadrons of B-52B’s, the earliest—and least effective— model of this plane.
Continuing development of engines and other systems for advanced aircraft to retain our option for a new
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
73
manned bomber, should the need arise.
Continuing deployment of the SR-71, the world’s fastest airplane, which will enter the Active Forces this year.
Continuing installation of the new over-the-horizon radars, giving us almost instantaneous knowledge of ballistic missiles launched for attack.
Continuing procurement and deployment of our latest strategic missiles, Minuteman II and Polaris A-3, greatly extending the range, accuracy, and striking power of the strategic forces.
Replacing older, more costly, and vulnerable elements of our strategic forces. The outdated Atlas and Titan I missiles will be retired this year and the remainder of the B-47 forces will be phased out during fiscal year 1966. All this is part of a continuing process. There will always be changes, replacing the old with the new.
Major new developments in strategic weapons systems we propose to begin this year are:
A new missile system, the Poseidon, to increase the striking power of our missile-carrying nuclear submarines The Poseidon missile will have double the payload of the highly successful Polaris A-3. The increased accuracy and flexibility of the Poseidon will permit its use effectively against a broader range of possible targets and give added insurance of penetration of enemy defenses.
A series of remarkable new payloads for strategic missiles. These include penetration aids, to assure that the missile reaches its target through any defense; guidance and reentry vehicle design, to increase manifold the effectiveness of our missiles against various kinds of targets; and methods of reporting the arrival of our missiles on target, up to and even including the time of explosion.
A new, short-range attack missile (SRAM) that can, if needed, be deployed operationally with the B-52 or other bombers. This aerodynamic missile—a vast improvement over existing systems—would permit the bomber to attack a far larger number of targets and to do so from beyond the range of their local defenses.
3.	The strength, deployment, and mobility of our forces must be such that, combined with those of our allies, they can prevent the erosion of the free world by limited, nonnuclear aggression.
Our nonnuclear forces must be strong enough to insure that we are never limited to nuclear weapons alone as our sole option in the face of aggression. These forces must contribute to our strategy of responding flexibility and appropriately to varied threats to peace.
I have already cited increases achieved during recent years in the strength and mobility of our Army, Navy, Marines, and of our air transport which gets them to the scene of battle and the tactical aircraft which support them there. These forces, furthermore, are now better balanced, better integrated, and under more effective command and control
than ever before. We shall maintain our present high degree of readiness.
We must further improve our ability to concentrate our power rapidly in a threatened area, so as to halt aggression early and swiftly. We plan expansion of our airlift, improvement of our sealift, and more pre-positioned equipment to enable us to move our troops overseas in a matter of days, rather than weeks.
To this end, we will—
Start development of the C-5A cargo transport. This extraordinary aircraft capable of carrying 750 passengers will bring a new era of air transportation. It will represent a dramatic step forward in the worldwide mobility of our forces and in American leadership in the field of aviation.
Build fast deployment cargo ships, capable of delivering military equipment quickly to any theater. This represents a new concept in the rapid deployment of military forces. These ships will have a gas turbine engine propulsion system, a major advance in marine engineering for ships of this size. Such vessels will be deployed around the globe, able to begin deliveries of heavy combat-ready equipment into battle zones within days or even hours.
Increase our forward floating depot ships stationed close to areas of potential crisis.
Begin large-scale procurement of the revolutionary sweptwing F-lll and the new A-7 Navy attack aircraft. We will also begin construction of 4 new nuclear-powered attack submarines, and 10 new destroyer escorts. And we will continue to develop a much smaller, more efficient, nuclear powerplant for possible use in our future aircraft carriers.
4.	While confident that our present strength will continue to deter a thermonuclear war, we must always be alert to the possibilities for limiting destruction which might be inflicted upon our people, cities, and industry—should such a war be forced upon us.
Many proposals have been advanced for means of limiting damage and destruction to the United States in the event of a thermonuclear war. Shifting strategy and advancing technology make the program of building adequate defenses against nuclear attack extremely complex.
Decisions with respect to further limitation of damage require complex calculations concerning the effectiveness of many interrelated elements. Any comprehensive program would involve the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars. We must not shrink from any expense that is justified by its effectiveness, but we must not hastily expend vast sums on massive programs that do not meet this test.
It is already clear that without fallout shelter protection for our citizens, all defense weapons lose much of their effectiveness in saving lives. This also appears to be the least expensive way of saving millions of lives, and the one
which has clear value even without other systems. We will continue our existing programs and start a program to increase the total inventory of shelters through a survey of private homes and other small structures.
We shall continue the research and development which retains the options to deploy an anti-ballistic-missile system, and manned interceptors and surface-to-air missiles against bombers.
5.	Our military forces must be so organized and directed that they can be used in a measured, controlled, and deliberate way as a versatile instrument to support our foreign policy.
Military and civilian leaders alike are unanimous in their conviction that our armed might is and always must be so controlled as to permit measured response in whatever crises may confront us.
We have made dramatic improvements in our ability to communicate with and command our forces, both at the national level and at the level of the theater commanders. We have established a national military command system, with the most advanced electronic and communications equipment, to gather and present the military information necessary for top-level management of crises and to assure the continuity of control through all levels of command. Its survival under attack is insured by a system of airborne, shipborne, and other command posts, and a variety of alternative protected communications.
We have developed and procured the postattack command control system of the Strategic Air Command, to assure continued control of our strategic forces following a nuclear attack.
We have installed new safety procedures and systems designed to guarantee that our nuclear weapons are not used except at the direction of the highest national authority.
This year we are requesting funds to extend similar improvements in the survivability and effectiveness of our command and control to other commands in our oversea theaters.
6.	America vzill continue to be first in the use of science and technology to insure the security of its people.
We are currently investing more than $6 billion per year for military research and development. Among other major developments, our investment has recently produced antisatellite systems that can intercept and destroy armed satellites that might be launched, and such revolutionary new aircraft as the F-lll fighter-bomber and the SR-71 supersonic reconnaissance aircraft. Our investment has effected an enormous improvement in the design of antiballistic missile systems. We will pursue our program for the development of the Nike X antimissile system, to permit deployment of this antiballistic missile should the national security require. Research will continue on even more advanced antimissile components and concepts.
About $2 billion a year of this program is invested in innovations in technology and in experimental programs. Thus, we provide full play for the ingenuity and

inventiveness of the best scientific and technical talent in our Nation and the free world.
American science, industry, and technology are foremost in the world. Their resources represent a prime asset to our national security.
7.	Our soldiers, sailors, and airmen, and marines, from whom we ask so much, are the cornerstone of our military might.
The success of all our policies depends upon our ability to attract, develop fully, utilize, and retain the talents of outstanding men and women in the military services. We have sought to improve housing conditions for military families and educational opportunities for military personnel.
Since 1961, we have proposed—and the Congress has authorized—the largest military pay increases in our history, totaling more than $2 billion.
To insure that the pay of military personnel, and indeed of all Government employees, retains an appropriate relation to the compensation of other elements of our society, we will review their pay annually. The procedures for this review will be discussed in my budget message.
It is imperative that our men in uniform have the necessary background and training to keep up with the complexities of the ever-changing military, political, and technical problems they face each day. To insure this, the Secretary of Defense is undertaking a study of military education to make certain that the education available to our servicemen and women at their academies, at their war colleges, and at the command and staff colleges, is excellent in its quality.
In recent years large numbers of volunteers have been rejected by the military services because of their failure to meet certain mental or physical standards, even though many of their deficiencies could have been corrected. To broaden the opportunity for service and increase the supply of potentially qualified volunteers, the Army is planning to initiate an experimental program of military training, education, and physical rehabilitation for men who fail at first to met minimum requirements for service. This pilot program, which will involve about 10,000 men in 1965, will establish how many of these young volunteers can be upgraded so as to qualify for service.
8.	Our citizen-soldiers must be the best organized, best equipped reserve forces in the world. We must make certain that this force, which has served our country so well from the time of the Revolution to the Berlin and Cuban crises of recent years, keeps pace with the changing demands of our national security.
To this end, we are taking steps to realine our Army Reserves and National Guard to improve significantly their combat readiness and effectiveness in times of emergency. This realinement will bring our Army Reserve structure into balance with our contingency war plans and will place all remaining units of the Army Reserve Forces in the Na
tional Guard. At the same time, by eliminating units for which there is no military requirement, we will realize each year savings approximating $150 million. Under our plan, all units will be fully equipped with combat-ready equipment and will be given training in the form of monthly weekend drills that will greatly increase their readiness. Under the revised organization, both the old and the new units of the National Guard, as well as individual trainees who remain in the Reserves, will make a much greater and continuing contribution to our national security.
We shall continue to study our Reserve Forces and take whatever action is necessary to increase their combat effectiveness.
9.	The Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Defense must continue to receive the best professional military advice available to the leaders of any government in the world.
The importance of a strong line of command running from the Commander in Chief to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the unified and specified commanders in the field has been repeatedly demonstrated during recent years.
The Secretary of Defense will present to you certain recommendations to strengthen the Joint Staff.
10.	We will strengthen our military alliances, assist freedom-loving peoples, and continue our military assistance program.
It is essential to continue to strengthen our alliances with other free and independent nations. We reaffirm our unwavering determination that efforts to divide and conquer freemen shall not be successful in our time. We shall continue to assist those who struggle to preserve their own independence.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a strong shield against aggression. We reaffirm our belief in the necessity of unified planning and execution of strategy. We invite our NATO allies to work with us in developing better methods for mutual consultation and joint strategic study. We shall continue to seek ways to bind the alliance even more strongly together by sharing the tasks of defense through collective action.
We shall continue our program of military and economic assistance to allies elsewhere in the world and to those nations struggling against covert aggression in the form of externally directed, undeclared guerrilla warfare. In southeast Asia, our program remains unchanged. From 1950, the United States has demonstrated its commitment to the freedom, independence, and neutrality of Laos by strengthening the economic and military security of that nation. The problem of Laos is the refusal of the Communist forces to honor the Geneva accords into which they entered in 1962. We shall continue to support the legitimate government of that country. The Geneva accords established the right of Laos to be left alone in peace.
Similarly, the problem of Vietnam is the refusal of Communist forces to honor
their agreement in 1954. The North Vietnam regime, supported by the Chinese Communists, has openly and repeatedly avowed its intention to destroy the independence of the Republic of Vietnam through massive, ruthless, and incessant guerilla terrorism against Government and people alike.
Our purpose, under three American Presidents, has been to assist the Vietnamese to live in peace, free to choose both their own way of life and their own foreign policy. We shall continue to honor our commitments in Vietnam.
PRINCIPLES OF DEFENSE MANAGEMENT
1.	To carry out our strategy and enforce our policies requires a large budget for defense.
The world’s most affluent society can surely afford to spend whatever must be spent for its freedom and security. We shall continue to maintain the military forces necessary for our security without regard to arbitrary or predeterminded budget ceilings. But we shall continue to insist that those forces be procured at the lowest possible cost and operated with the greatest possible economy and efficiency.
To acquire and maintain our unprecedented military power, we have been obliged to invest more than one-half of every dollar paid in taxes to the Federal Government. The defense budget has grown from $43 billion in fiscal year 1960 to more than $51 billion in fiscal year 1964. I now estimate the defense expenditures for fiscal year 1965 to be about $49.3 billion, or approximately $2 billion less than in fiscal year 1964. I further estimate that Defense expenditures for fiscal year 1966 will be reduced still another $300 million.
There are two main reasons for this leveling off in defense expenditures:
First, we have achieved many of the needed changes and increases in our military force structure.
Second, we are now realizing the benefits of the rigorous cost reduction program introduced into the Defense Establishment during the past 4 years.
As I have stated—and as our enemies well know—this country now possesses a range of credible, usable military power enabling us to deal with every form of military challenge from guerrilla terrorism to thermonuclear war. Barring a significant shift in the international situation, we are not likely to require further increments on so large a scale during the next several years. Expenditures for defense will thus constitute a declining portion of our expanding annual gross national product, which is now growing at the rate of 5 percent each year. If, over the next several years, we continue to spend approximately the same amount of dollars annually for our national defense that we are spending today, an ever-larger share of our expanding national wealth will be free to meet other vital needs, both public and private.
Let me be clear, however, to friend and foe alike. So long as I am President, we shall spend whatever is necessary for the security of our people.
1965

2.	Defense expenditures in the years ahead must continue to be guided by the relentless pursuit of efficiency and intelligent economy.
There is no necessary conflict between the need for a strong defense and the principles of economy and sound management. If we are to remain strong—
Outmoded weapons must be replaced by new ones.
Obsolete equipment and installations must be eliminated.
Costly duplication of effort must be eliminated.
We are following this policy now, and, so long as I am President, I intend to continue to follow this policy.
We have recently announced the consolidation, reduction, or discontinuance of defense activities in some 95 locations. When added to those previously completed, these actions will produce annual savings of more than $1 billion each year, every year, in the operations of the Defense Department, and release about 1,400,000 acres of land for civilian purposes. These economies—which represent more prudent and effective allocation of our resources—have not diminished the strength and efficiency of our defense forces, but rather have enhanced them.
We are the wealthiest nation in the world and the keystone of the largest alliance of free nations in history. We can, and will, spend whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom. But we cannot afford to spend 1 cent more than is necessary, for there is too much waiting to be done, too many other pressing needs waiting to be met. I urge the Congress to support our efforts to assure the American people a dollar’s worth of defense for every dollar spent.
3.	While our primary goal is to maintain the most powerful military force in the world at the lowest possible cost, we will never be unmindful of those communities and individuals who are temporarily affected by changes in the pattern of defense spending.
Men and women, who have devoted their lives and their resources to the needs of their country, are entitled to help and consideration in making the transition to other pursuits.
We will continue to help local communities by mobilizing and coordinating all the resources of the Federal Government to overcome temporary difficulties created by the curtailment of any Defense activity. We will phase out unnecessary Defense operations in such a way as to lessen the impact on any community, and we will work with local communities to develop energetic programs of self-help, calling on the resources of State and local governments— and of private industry—as well as those of the Federal Government.
There is ample evidence that such measures can succeed. Former military bases are now in use throughout the country in communities which have not only adjusted to necessary change, but have created greater prosperity for themselves as a result. Their accomplishments are a tribute to the ingenuity
of thousands of our citizens, and a testimony to the strength and resiliency of our economy and our system of government.
4.	We must continue to make whatever changes are necessary in our Defense Establishment to increase its efficiency and to insure that it keeps pace with the demands of an ever-changing world; we must continue to improve the decisionmaking process of those in command.
The experience of several years has shown that certain activities of the Defense Establishment can be conducted not only with greater economy, but far more effectively when carried out on a departmentwide basis, either by a military department as executive agent or by a Defense agency. The Defense Communications Agency, established in 1959, and the Defense Supply Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency, established in 1961, have all eliminated duplication of effort, improved management, and achieved better fulfillment of their missions. In addition, we have recently announced—
Consolidation of the field contract administration offices of the military department under the Defense Supply Agency;
Formation of the Department of Defense Contract Audit Agency, to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of Government auditing of Defense contracts;
Formation of the Traffic Management and Terminal Command, under the single management of the Department of the Army, to regulate surface transportation of military cargo and personnel within the continental United States.
Each of these actions will lead to better performance, surer control, and less cost. Most important, these actions are informing and expediting the decisionmaking process. We will continue to seek out opportunities to further increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our Defense Establishment.
CONCLUSION
The Secretary of Defense will soon come before you with our detailed proposals for the coming year. He will have recommendations for further strengthening of our strategic forces and our conventional forces. He will have additional suggestions for achieving greater efficiency, and therefore greater economy.
As you consider the state of our defenses and form your judgments as to our future course, I know that you will do so in the knowledge that today we Americans are responsible not only for our own security but, in concert with our allies, for the security of the free world. Upon our strength and our wisdom rests the future not only of our American way of life, but that of the whole society of freemen.
This is an awesome responsibility. So far, we have borne it well. As our strength rose—and largely as a consequence of that strength—we have been
able to take encouraging steps toward peace. We have established an Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. We have signed a limited nuclear test ban agreement with the Soviet Union. We have, at the same time, met the challenge of force, unflinchingly, from Berlin to Cuba. In each case, the threat has receded and international tensions have diminished.
In a world of 120 nations, there are still great dangers to be faced. As old threats are turned back, change and turmoil will present new ones. The vigilance and courage we have shown in the last 20 years must be sustained as far ahead as we can see. The defense of freedom remains our duty—24 hours a day and every day of the year.
We cannot know the future and what it holds. But all our experience of two centuries reminds us that “to be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.”

76
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 20
our future as a people rest not upon one citizen, but upon all citizens.
This is the majesty and the meaning of this moment.
For every generation, there is a destiny. For some, history decides. For this generation, the choice must be our own.
Even now, a rocket moves toward Mars. It reminds us that the world will not be the same for our children, or even for ourselves, in a short span of years. The next man to stand here will look out on a scene different from our own, because ours is a time of change—rapid and fantastic change—baring the secrets of Nature, multiplying the nations, placing in uncertain hands new weapons for mastery and destruction, shaking old values, and uprooting old ways.
Our destiny in the midst of change will rest on the unchanged character of our people, and on their faith.
They came here—the exile and the stranger, brave but frightened—to find a place where a man could be his own man. They made a covenant with this land. Conceived in justice, written in liberty, bound in union, it was meant one day to inspire the hopes of all mankind; and it binds us still. If we keep its terms, we shall flourish.
First, justice was the promise that all who made the journey would share in the fruits of the land.
In a land of great wealth, families must not live in hopeless poverty.
In a land rich in harvest, children just must not go hungry.
In a land of healing miracles, neighbors must not suffer and die unattended.
In a great land of learning and scholars, young people must be taught to read and write.
For the more than 30 years that I have served this Nation, I have believed that this injustice to our people, this waste of our resources, was our real enemy. For 30 years or more, with the resources I have had, I have vigilantly fought against it. I have learned, and I know, that it will not surrender easily.
But change has given us new weapons. Before this generation of Americans is finished, this enemy will not only retreat—it will be conquered.
Justice requires us to remember that when any citizen denies his fellow, saying, “His color is not mine,” or “His beliefs are strange and different,” in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this Nation.
Liberty was the second article of our covenant. It was self-government. It was our Bill of Rights. But it was more. America would be a place where each man could be proud to be himself: stretching his talents, rejoicing in his work, important in the life of his neighbors and his nation.
This has become more difficult in a world where change and growth seem to tower beyond the control, and even the judgment, of men. We must work to provide the knowledge and the surroundings which can enlarge the possibilities of every citizen.
The American covenant called on us
to help show the way for the liberation of man. And that is today our goal. Thus, if as a nation there is much outside our control, as a people no stranger is outside our hope.
Change has brought new meaning to that old mission. We can never again stand aside, prideful in isolation. Terrific dangers and troubles that we once called “foreign” now constantly live among us. If American lives must end and American treasure be spilled, in countries we barely know, that is the price that change has demanded of conviction and of our enduring government.
Think of our world as it looks from the rocket that is heading toward Mars. It is like a child’s globe, hanging in space, the continents stuck to its side like colored maps. We are all fellow passengers on a dot of earth. And each of us, in the span of time, has really only a moment among his companions.
How incredible it is that in this fragile existence, we should hate and destroy one another. There are possibilities enough for all who will abandon mastery over others to pursue mastery over nature. There is world enough for all to seek their happiness in their own way.
Our Nation’s course is abundantly clear. We aspire to nothing that belongs to others. We seek no dominion over our fellow man, but man’s dominion over tyranny and misery.
But more is required. Men want to be a part of a common enterprise—a cause greater than themselves. Each of us must find a way to advance the purpose of the Nation, thus finding new purpose for ourselves. Without this, we shall become a nation of strangers.
The third article was union. To those who were small and few against the wilderness, the success of liberty demanded the strength of union. Two centuries of change have made this true again.
No longer need capitalist and worker, farmer and clerk, city and countryside, struggle to divide our bounty. By working shoulder to shoulder, together we can increase the bounty of all.
We have discovered that every child who learns, every man who finds work, every sick body that is made whole—like a candle added to an altar—brightens the hope of all the faithful.
So let us reject any among us who seek to reopen old wounds and to rekindle old hatreds. They stand in the way of a seeking nation.
Let us now join reason to faith and action to experience, to transform our unity of interest into a unity of purpose. For the hour and the day and the time are here to achieve progress without strife, to achieve change without hatred—not without difference of opinion, but without the deep and abiding divisions which scar the Union for generations.
Under this covenant—of justice, liberty, and union—we have become a nation—prosperous, great, and mighty. And we have kept our freedom.
But we have no promise from God that our greatness will endure.
We have been allowed by Him to seek greatness with the sweat of our hands and the strength of our spirit.
I do not believe that the Great Society is the ordered, changeless, and sterile battalion of the ants.
It is the excitement of becoming—always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again—but always trying and always gaining.
In each generation—with toil and tears—we have had to earn our heritage again.
If we fail now, we shall have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship: that democracy rests on faith, that freedom asks more than it gives, and that the judgment of God is harshest on those who are most favored.
If we succeed, it will not be because of what we have, but it will be because of what we are; not because of what we own, but, rather, because of what we believe.
For we are a nation of believers. Underneath the clamor of building and the rush of our day’s pursuits, we are believers in justice and liberty and union, and in our own Union. We believe that every man must someday be free. And we believe in ourselves.
Our enemies have always made the same mistake. In my lifetime—in depression and in war—they have awaited our defeat. Each time, from the secret places of the American heart, came forth the faith they could not see or that they could not even imagine. It brought us victory. And it will again.
For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that it not reached and the harvest sleeping in the unplowed ground.
Is our world gone? We say farewell. Is a new world coming? We welcome it—and we will bend it to the hopes of man.
To these trusted public servants and to my family and those close friends of mine who have followed me down a long, winding road, and to all the people of this Union and the world, I will repeat today what I said on that sorrowful day in November 1963: “I will lead and I will do the best I can.”
But you must look within your own hearts to the old promises and to the old dream. They will lead you best of all.
For myself, I ask only, in the words of an ancient leader: “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this, thy people, that is so great?”

BUDGET FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Appropriations:
To the Congress of the United States:
I present the budget for the District of Columbia for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1965.
I have spoken in recent weeks of our resolve to advance toward the Great Society—in our cities, in our countryside, and in our classrooms. What we do in our Capital City, I believe, will stand as a measure of our overall progress to that end.
I shall shortly send to the Congress a special message defining the specific goals and the steps for achieving them that will lead the District of Columbia toward the Great Society. The budget which I am transmitting will provide the means by which progress toward many
of those goals can be made in fiscal year 1966.
Adequate financial support is necessary if the District is to have needed services and facilities. Improvements were made by the last Congress, but provisions for the Federal payment to the District and for District borrowing for capital improvements are still inadequate, and certain local tax rates should be increased.
1.	The Federal payment: The authorization for the Federal payment is a fixed amount. While this authorization was substantially increased by the last Congress, from $32 million to $50 million, it still does not reflect an equitable sharing by the Federal Government of the expense of government in the District. Of even more importance, a fixed amount necessarily fails to reflect adjustments which should be made in the authorization in order to maintain an equitable balance between Federal and local responsibility in the future. I urge the

It has been suggested that the proposed formula would create a precedent requiring the Federal Government to make similar payments for Federal property located in other jurisdictions. This is not a valid argument. The Congress has recognized for well over a century the special responsibility of the Federal Government for providing a share of the funds needed for the operation of the District government. The Congress has often changed the amount authorized for that purpose. The Federal payment authorization which I am now recommending is equitable and will provide a predictable basis for determining the amount which is authorized for the Federal payment. The issue has never been whether there should be a Federal payment but only as to the proper amount.
2.	Borrowing authority: While the
Congress to enact legislation authorizing an annual Federal payment based on a formula which provides a continuing and equitable measure of Federal financial responsibility.
The formula proposed by President Kennedy and approved by the Senate in 1963 will accomplish this purpose. Under it, the payment will be computed on the basis of the assessed value of real estate and personal property owned and used by the Federal Government in the District, and will represent the amount the District would receive if Federal Government activities were subject to local District taxes. Such a formula will relate the Federal payment directly both to District needs and to the contribution of its own citizens through local taxes. Under this formula, the Federal payment authorized in fiscal year 1966 would be approximately $57 million—see table—and is estimated to increase to approximately $75 million by fiscal year 1971.
limit of debt which may be incurred for purposes of the general fund of the District was increased by the last Congress to $175 million, it, too, is still a specified dollar limit, which must be renewed when exhausted. I recommend the enactment of legislation which will provide a flexible and at the same time prudent general fund debt limit based on ability to repay, namely, 6 percent of the 10-year average of the combined assessed value of taxable real and personal property—including property owned and used by the Federal Government as specified in the Federal payment formula. This would provide for the District a debt limit comparable in form with that in effect in most State and local jurisdictions. The adoption of this proposal would result in a general fund debt limit of approximately $233 million
78
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 22
in fiscal year 1966, and of $293 million by fiscal year 1971. While borrowing will continue to require in each case the approval of the Congress, a debt limit of this kind will permit both the District and the Congress to make more soundly based long-range plans.
3.	Local taxes: The major share of the expense of financing the District government is, and should be, borne by District residents. They should also assume their fair share of the increased costs which the District must incur if it is to maintain its development and achieve its proper place as a Captial City worthy of our country. For this reason, I fully support legislation which will be recommended by the Commissioners to increase certain District taxes. Together with an accompanying increase in the real estate tax planned by the Commissioners under existing law, these proposals will produce about $10.1 million of additional revenue in fiscal year 1966. This amount will accrue to the general fund, increasing the revenues from local taxes in that fund to a total of $253.2 million.
These tax changes, the change in the authorized Federal payment and the change in the District borrowing authorization, provide the basis for future stable general fund financing. There must be, however, a concurrent recognition of the responsibility of the Federal Government not only to authorize an equitable Federal payment but also to appropriate it. Meeting the legitimate financial needs of the District by authorizing larger borrowing by the District to compensate for a failure to appropriate the full amount of the Federal payment which has been authorized is neither sound nor fair.
It is quite appropriate for the District to incur long-term debt for capital improvements the useful life of which will extend over many years. It is equally appropriate to utilize more than might be considered a normal amount of such borrowing in order to catch up on capital improvement programs, such as for schools, in which the District has fallen far behind. It is neither appropriate nor prudent, however, to require the District to use borrowed money as a substitute for amounts which should be available on a current basis.
The District’s budget is constructed in the belief that the Federal Government will provide its equitable share of District needs as indicated by the authorized Federal payment. The District is penalized unjustly when a portion of this proper Federal responsibility is transferred to the shoulders of future District taxpayers who must repay the loans.
EDUCATION
Appropriations of $77.7 million are needed to provide for the operation of the District’s school system in 1966, an increase of $5.8 million over 1965. The additional funds will provide for 517 new teaching positions needed to keep abreast of the requirements of a rapidly increasing school population, which will reach almost 150,000 by fiscal year 1966.

additional teachers will permit the achievement throughout the system of the pupil-teacher ratios approved by the Board of Education.
Funds are also provided to achieve the ratios recommended by the Board for school counselors and to provide librarians for about half of the elementary schools that now do not have them. Deficiencies will still remain but the budget reflects a major effort to remedy shortcomings and to make the District’s educational system a model for the Nation.
The budget also includes $29.4 million for the vital program of improving the school plant. Construction of new schools and additions to existing school buildings will increase the capacity of the system by some 5,000 pupil spaces. Funds for sites and plans are provided to permit a similar enlargement in fiscal year 1967. Nothing less will suffice if the District is to have available modem, well-equipped school buildings, eliminate part-time classes, and provide adequate space for its increasing school population, including students who are staying in school rather than dropping out. In
no other area has the District’s capital construction program lagged so far behind. In no other area is the need to catch up more urgent.
The inclusion of the District in the program of Federal aid to school districts impacted by children of Federal employees does not lessen the need for these appropriations. The Federal aid provided under Public Law 88-665 is properly being allocated to those schools in the District most in need of enrichment of programs and services above the level provided in the regular budget. Use of these funds as a substitute for regular educational appropriations not only would deprive District children of these additional educational resources, but also would conflict with the intention of the Congress.
Special programs for the schools in the Cardozo area which have been funded through the Economic Opportunity Act and the program to prevent juvenile delinquency should also be regarded as additional to those provided in the regular budget.
WELFARE AND HEALTH
The budget includes appropriations of $81.3 million for operating expenses of the welfare and health departments, an increase of $5.1 million over 1965.
The welfare programs for which funds are provided are directed so far as possible to the rehabilitation of persons and families by positive action which will advance them toward self-sufficiency. Consistent with this, although not a part of the welfare budget, matching funds are provided to enable the District to participate in a number of training projects under the Manpower Development and Training Act.
The budget reflects my belief that the District should be in a position of leadership in putting into effect the welfare and health programs which the Congress has authorized in recent years. I remain particularly concerned with the plight of dependent children, and the continuing upward trend in the population of Junior Village. For that reason the budget contains funds which will permit the District to participate in the national program of aid to dependent children of unemployed parents. In the massive effort now being undertaken on many fronts to improve the conditions of the District’s poverty-stricken families, we can ill afford not to utilize every available program which will help to maintain families intact. I strongly urge the Congress to reconsider its previous position on District participation in this program.
The budget continues the health programs already established and provides funds for more intensive efforts in the fields of maternal and child health, in the control of venereal disease, and in the food pesticide residue program.
Proposed capital outlays total $7.8 million. The substantial increase over last year is occasioned by the need to construct a facility for the detention and rehabilitation of District youths now being accommodated at the National Training School for Boys, which will be moved to
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

Morgantown, W. Va., in 1967. A badly needed school activities building at Junior Village is also included in the Welfare Department budget.
The Health Department budget includes funds urgently needed to plan for community health centers. The establishment of such centers in several parts of the city is important to the District’s general health program and is basic to the implementation in the District of new concepts in the prevention, treatment, and care of mental illness and mental retardation.
PUBLIC SAFETY
The budget provides operating ex penses of $77.6 million for public safety, an increase of $3.4 million over 1965.
The District is engaged on many fronts in an attack on the prevention and punishment of criminal acts, and the elimination of the causes of crime. It is apparent that more must be done. I shall shortly make further recommendations on this subject to the Congress. The budget provides funds for the enlargement of the police force by 100 men, and continues the program to release officers for active police work by increased use of civilian personnel for administrative activities.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The funds provided in the budget for the Recreation Department will continue the improvements which were instituted last year, as well as accelerate the program of enlargement and improvement of playground and recreation facilities. The John F. Kennedy Playground in the near Northwest section of the District—an area seriously deficient in playground resources—is a welcome addition to the city’s recreation facilities. Funds have been provided for a new site for Shaw Junior High School, thereby making it possible to preserve the needed playground.
HIGHWAYS AND TRAFFIC
The highway program has been coordinated with the proposed rapid transit program in order to achieve a balanced transportation system for the District and the Washington metropolitan area. I shall shortly send to the Congress my recommendations with respect to the rapid transit program. Funds to meet the District’s share of initial costs are included in the budget.
The highway program, which is also urgently needed, will be delayed for lack of funds in fiscal year 1966 unless the resources of the highway fund are increased. I am, therefore, again recommending an increase of $35 million in the loan authorization for the highway fund and an increase of 1 cent in the gasoline tax. The new District gasoline tax rate of 7 cents will correspond with the rates in Maryland and Virginia, and will yield an additional $2 million annually, a sum sufficient to retire the $35 million loan in 30 years. This tax and borrowing program continues the sound policy of financing the street and highway system by taxes based upon use. Additional taxes of this kind may be necessary as the District faces increased
35-100—s J—89-1--6
expenses in maintaining its portion of the Interstate System and in constructing, maintaining, and improving other highways and streets. I am therefore instructing the Commissioners to consider proposals for financing the highway fund for the next decade.
CONCLUSION
The needs of the District, as of other great cities, continue to grow. As our Nation’s Capital, the District of Columbia should exemplify the best in programs for the health, education, and welfare of its citizens. This budget, together with the proposals in this message for additional funds, will, in my judgment, significantly advance the District toward that goal. At the same time, it is designed, like the Federal budget, to avoid waste and inefficiency. The District is continuing to strengthen its management improvement programs. In the District, as elsewhere in our Government, staff must be used effectively, unnecessary work and positions must be eliminated, and additional personnel added only when absolutely essential.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

FREEDOM FOR CAPTIVE NATIONS BEHIND IRON CURTAIN
Mr. DIRKSEN submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 10); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations :
Whereas the Communist regime of the Soviet Union did not come to power in the Eastern European countries by legal or democratic processes, but has flouted even the solemn assurances and agreements entered into at the Yalta Conference of February 1945; and
Whereas the Soviet Union has denied self-determination by free election in those countries, resorting not only to heavily manned occupational forces, but also to genocidal activities in the cases of the many countries known as captive nations; and
Whereas the sovereignty and independence of the former free governments of those captive nations under the yoke of Soviet communism were duly recognized and continue to be given recognition and moral support; and
Whereas the suppression of human freedoms and the denial of free trade and communications with other sovereign countries present a threat to peace, intolerable either to the United States, other free nations, or the international law agencies; and
Whereas the governments and peoples of said captive nations now under the yoke of Soviet communism have always been in close relation with the United States and constantly continue to prove their belief in democracy through the work and blood of their peoples: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (.the House of Representatives concurring), That the

THE BUDGET, 1966
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Appropriations :
To the Congress of the United States:
I am presenting to you today the budget of the United States for the fiscal year 1966.
A budget is a plan of action. It defines our goals, charts our courses, and outlines our expectations. It reflects hard decisions and difficult choices. This budget is no exception.
It is a budget of priorities. It provides for what we must do, but not for all we would like to do.
It is a budget of both opportunity and sacrifice. It begins to grasp the opportunities of the Great Society. It is restrained by the sacrifices we must continue to make in order to keep our defenses strong and flexible.
This budget provides reasonably for our needs. It is not extravagant. Neither is it miserly.
It stands on five basic principles:
Government fiscal policies must promote national strength, economic progress, and individual opportunity.
Our tax system must continue to be made less burdensome, more equitable, and more conducive to continued economic expansion.
The Great Society must be a bold society. It must not fear to meet new challenges. It must not fail to seize new opportunities.
The Great Society must be a compassionate society. It must always be responsive to human needs.
The Great Society must be an efficient society. Less urgent programs must give way to make room for higher priority needs. And each program, old and new, must be conducted with maximum efficiency, economy, and productivity.
The major features of the 1966 budget translate these principles into action.
First, excise taxes are substantially reduced. Social security benefits, including hospital insurance, are increased. These are combined with other expenditure increases to yield an overall fiscal policy designed to maintain our steady economic expansion.
Second, the budget supports a massive defense establishment of steadily growing power, within reduced outlays.
Third, our international and space programs are being advanced at a satisfac
tory rate, but with smaller increases than in earlier years.
Fourth, expanded programs and higher expenditures are proposed to—
Provide better and more education for our children.
Extend the war against poverty.
Promote advances in the Nation’s health.
Improve conditions in the urban areas where most of us live.
Help the Appalachian region lift itself out of its present depressed condition.
Strengthen our social security protection.
Increase economic opportunities in rural communities.
Encourage sound use of our natural resources.
Conserve natural beauty in our land.
Fifth, a large part of the funds for needed program expansion has come from savings, reductions, and economies in other parts of the budget.
FISCAL POLICY
This budget recognizes that a growing economy is needed to promote national strength and progress. It is also needed to move us toward a balanced budget. When the economy slows down, Federal revenues fall and spending tends to increase. The result is larger, not smaller, budget deficits.
Nearly 4 years ago, this Nation began its fourth postwar economic expansion. With the help of last year’s income tax reduction—the largest and most comprehensive ever enacted—this expansion has already outlasted each of the previous three postwar recoveries.
During the past 4 years, the Nation’s real output of goods and services—the gross national product—has grown at an average rate of about 5 percent per year.
New highs have been achieved in employment, income, and profits. Unemployment has been reduced. Price stability has been maintained.
This is a creditable record of achievement. And we look forward to continued growth in the year ahead. The Nation’s output in calendar year 1965 is expected to reach $660 billion, plus or minus $5 billion.
Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that our economy is still producing at a level well below its potential. Nearly 4 million people are out of work. The unemployment rate is still nearly 5 percent. Plants and machines are standing idle while human wants and needs go unmet. An estimated 35 million people continue to live in poverty.
We cannot substitute last year’s achievements for next year’s goals; nor can we meet next year’s challenge with last year’s budget.
The revenue and expenditure proposals presented in the 1966 budget are carefully designed to promote continued economic expansion and improved economic opportunities.
This budget takes into account the need to reduce the Nation’s balance-of-payments deficit. During the last calendar year, the deficit showed a signifl-

cant decline. To help insure continued improvement, I will intensify efforts to carry out Federal activities with the least possible burden on our balance of payments.
BUDGET SUMMARY
Administrative budget: In preparing this budget, I have applied exacting tests of efficiency and necessity to all proposed expenditures. As a result, total administrative budget expenditures are being held to $99.7 billion in 1966. Although expenditures will rise by a relatively small amount, they will decline as a percent of the gross national product—to less than 15 percent, the lowest ratio achieved in 15 years.
Administrative budget receipts are expected to increase in 1966 to $94.4 billion. This is $3.2 billion over the estimated level for 1965. This increase reflects the economic growth anticipated in calendar year 1965. It also takes into account the revenue losses from proposed excise tax changes and from the second stage of income tax cuts enacted last year.
The resulting 1966 administrative budget deficit of $5.3 billion is $1 billion lower than the 1965 deficit, marking continued progress toward a balanced budget.
As our population increases, as science and technology change our methods of doing things, as our wants multiply with

Consolidated cash statement: The administrative budget is based on a definition of Federal spending which excludes such important Federal activities as social security and highway construction that are financed through trust funds. A more comprehensive measure of the Government’s finances is the consolidated cash budget which covers all of the Government’s programs.
On the consolidated cash basis, total payments to the public are estimated at $127.4 billion in 1966. Total receipts from the public are estimated at $123.5 billion, resulting in a net excess of payments of $3.9 billion. The estimated increase of $6 billion in cash payments in 1966 over 1965 is mostly in trust funds which are financed by special taxes.
About $9.5 billion of the nondefense payments recommended in this budget— almost 2% times the size of the entire
the growth in our incomes, and as urbanization creates new problems, there is growing need for more public and private services. It is evident that unless defense needs should decline substantially, Government expenditures will continue to rise over the long run.
At the same time, we have good reason to expect that Government expenditures in the years ahead will grow more slowly than the gross national product, so that the ratio of Federal spending to our total output will continue to decline.
The expenditures proposed in this budget reflect a careful balancing of national goals against budgetary costs. The budget I now present will, in my judgment, carry out the responsibilities of the Federal Government efficiently and wisely. It was constructed on that basis alone.
My budgets for both 1965 and 1966 have provided for major increases in areas of high national priority—particularly education, health, aid to the needy, housing, and the war on poverty. Also, for these 2 consecutive years, careful pruning of less urgent programs and vigorous cost reduction efforts have, on balance, resulted in lower expenditures in other major sectors of the budget. The application of these strict policies of priority and frugality is evident in the modest growth in administrative budget expenditures.
cash deficit—represent an investment in physical and financial assets which will provide benefits to the Nation for many years to come. These payments are made for Federal civil public works, equipment, and loans as well as for highways, hospitals, and other State, local, and private assets.
Federal sector, national income accounts: Another measure of Federal finance which includes trust funds emphasizes the direct impact of Government fiscal activities on the economy. This measure is based on the national income accounts. Under this concept, Federal fiscal data are estimated on an accrual rather than a cash basis. Purely financial transactions—such as loan—which do not directly affect production or income are excluded. On this basis, the deficit for 1966 is estimated at $6 billion.

Federal expenditures as measured by the national income accounts are estimated to rise by $6.0 billion in 1966. This increase—covering both purchases of goods and services and other types of payments—will provide a strong stimulus for continued economic growth.
FEDERAL REVENUES
The Revenue Act of 1964 has played a major role in widening and strengthening our prosperity. At the beginning of this month, the second stage of the rate reductions provided under the act became effective. In total, last year’s tax law will decrease consumer and business tax liabilities by about $14 billion in the current calendar year.
With this substantial change in income taxes completed, it is now appropriate to revise and adjust excise taxes as well. Some of the present excises are costly and inefficient to administer. Some impose onerous recordkeeping burdens on small business. Some distort consumer choices as among different kinds of goods.
Within the revenue requirements for continued progress toward a balanced budget, I believe it is vital that we correct the most pressing of these deficiencies this year. I plan to transmit to the
88

Congress recommendations to repeal some excise taxes and reduce others. In addition to improving the tax system, the recommended changes will increase purchasing power and stimulate further growth in the economy.

These changes should become effective July 1, 1965. They will reduce tax liabilities on a full-year basis by $1.75 billion. Revenues collected by the Treasury in 1966 will be reduced by $1.5 billion.
My other major revenue proposals this year involve important activities financed through trust funds.
I am recommending prompt enactment of a hospital insurance program for elderly persons, who are finding hospital and medical costs far greater than their ability to pay. This program should be self-financing, with a combined employer-employee payroll contribution of 0.6 percent on the first $5,600 of income to start in calendar year 1966.
I am also recommending an increase from $4,800 to $5,600 in the wage base on which social security taxes are paid. This would take effect on January 1, 1966, and would be coupled with a smaller increase in the payroll tax than is scheduled at that date under existing law. These changes will provide the funds for the needed increases being proposed in old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.
While I am recommending reductions in certain excise taxes, I am also proposing increases in certain other excise taxes which are in the nature of user charges. The excise taxes for which I am recommending reduction or repeal are not associated with the provision of particular Government services. However, certain existing excises on transportation are in effect a charge for the use of facilities and services provided by the Government. In these cases, I am proposing changes in user charges for transportation so that different modes of transportation can compete on more
equitable and efficient terms and users of special Government services will pay a greater share of the costs.
The estimated cost of completing the Interstate Highway System—which is financed by highway user taxes—has recently been increased by $5.8 billion. To avoid serious delay in completing the system, while remaining on a pay-as-you-go basis, I will include in my excise tax proposals specific recommendations for increasing certain highway user charges.
In contrast to the users of the highways, the users of the airways and inland waterways bear considerably less than the full cost of the Government investments and services provided them. Accordingly, I am recommending increased or new taxes on aviation gasoline and jet fuels and a new tax on air freight for commercial aviation. Receipts from the existing 2-cent tax on aviation gasoline should be kept in the general fund rather than transferred to the highway trust fund, and the 5-percent ticket tax on air passengers should be made permanent. A fuel tax for inland waterway users is also being proposed.
I will continue to press for other user charges in Government programs where benefits are provided to specific, identifiable individuals and businesses. Fairness to all taxpayers demands that those who enjoy special benefits should bear a greater share of the costs. Legislation is needed for some of the charges, such as patent and meat inspection fees. In other instances, equitable user charges will be instituted through administrative action.
I will also present recommendations to correct certain abuses in the tax-exempt privileges enjoyed by private foundations.
NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY
This budget includes new obligational authority for 1966 of $106.4 billion in the administrative budget.
Ninety-three billion five hundred million dollars of this requires congressional action this year.
Twelve billion nine hundred million dollars represents permanent authorizations that do not require further congressional action, mainly the appropriation for interest on the public debt.
Most of the $34.5 billion in new obligational authority recommended for 1966 for trust funds represents revenues from special taxes which are automatically appropriated.

The 1965 estimate in the administrative budget includes $6.0 billion of recommended supplemental authorizations. These authorizations will provide funds for several programs for which I am requesting immediate consideration and enactment—for example, housing activities and aid to Appalachia. The new obligational authority and related expenditures under these supplemental proposals are reflected fully in the estimates presented in this budget.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES
The soundness of a budget can only be judged by the merits of the programs it proposes and the levels of expenditure it recommends. For both old and new programs, merit turns on a weighing of benefits against costs. In constructing this budget, I have tried to apply this approach to the entire range of Government operations.

As the year unfolds, developments may occur which call for prompt action by the Government. This is particularly true in international affairs, in the civil supersonic aircraft program, and in moving ahead with the recommendations resulting from various studies and analyses I am requesting such as that related to military and civilian pay.
Specific legislation and appropriations to meet such contingencies will be pro
1965	JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
posed as needed, but the amounts which may be required cannot now be estimated with any confidence. The budget therefore includes an allowance for contingencies of $650 million in new obliga-tional authority and $400 million in expenditures. These amounts are larger than is customary. Their inclusion makes it clear that the budget totals are intended to provide adequately for meeting new needs that may arise or seizing new opportunities that may be presented.
Here are the highlights of my expenditure recommendations:
National defense: We cannot afford second-best defense forces. Neither can we afford to be wasteful.
Our defense forces have reached new levels of strength. With the rapid strides made in the past 4 years and the future gains already scheduled, our powerful modern forces will be adequate to their tasks for years to come. In cooperation with our allies, we have now provided for—
Forces able to deter nuclear attack.
Forces able to counter conventional aggression and prevent the piecemeal erosion of the free world.
Forces, in short, able to promote peace.
We still have improvements to make. We must maintain a strong research and development program to insure that our forces are always the most modern in the world.
The 1966 budget fully provides for these needs.
However, we are able to reduce our defense expenditures in 1966 because—
The buildup of our forces, which started in 1961, is nearly complete.
The vigorous cost reduction program of the Department of Defense is producing large savings.
Less effective and less economical forces are being retired or reduced as promptly as possible.
International affairs and finance: We cannot achieve lasting world peace with armaments alone. Nor can greater worldwide prosperity be bought with money alone. These goals will be achieved only through the hard work, patience, understanding, and strength of men of good will everywhere.
Yet it is essential that we continue to put our best energies and some of our vast economic resources to work in solving the problems the world faces today. Prudent and careful expenditures for our international programs can help to keep men free, to promote understanding, and to substitute cooperation and negotiation for force in world affairs.
The 1966 budget calls for only a very modest increase in foreign economic assistance expenditures. With these funds, we will continue to concentrate our aid efforts in those less developed countries that are demonstrating the will and determination required to achieve political stability and economic growth.
We shall maintain our firm commitment to the Alliance for Progress—the focus of our efforts to achieve unity and understanding in this hemisphere. As an important part of this commitment, I
recommend prompt action to permit our participation in the expansion of the Inter-American Development Bank.
This budget also enables us to—
Continue our participation in and support for the United Nations.
Maintain an adequate and alert network of diplomatic posts around the world.
Improve our oversea information activities, so that others may know us not just as a rich nation, but as a free and responsible nation as well.
Expand the Peace Corps, by now a proven experiment in international cooperation.
In an important step to strengthen the free world’s financial system, the members of the International Monetary Fund are considering an increase in quotas. Upon completion of these discussions, expected shortly, I shall recommend that the Congress authorize promptly the funds needed to provide the U.S. share of this increase.
Space research and technology: This Nation has embarked on a bold program of space exploration and research which holds promise of rich rewards in many fields of American life. Our boldness is clearly indicated by the broad scope of our program and by our intent to send men to the moon within this decade.
The costs are high—as we knew they would be when we launched this effort. We have seen a rise in annual expenditures for the space program from less than one-half billion dollars in 1960 to over $4 billion in 1964.
Expenditures are continuing to increase. However, we have built up momentum and are concentrating on our highest priority goals. Therefore, we will no longer need to increase space outlays by huge sums each year in order to meet our present objectives.
This budget proposes that expenditures increase by $200 million in 1966 over 1965. This is the smallest annual increase since 1959. The new obliga-tional authority requested is about the same as enacted for 1965.
Agriculture and agricultural resources: The increased production efficiency of our farms has contributed greatly to growth of the national economy. This efficiency, in turn, has contributed, along with our high per capita income, to making us the best-fed Nation in the world, while men are leaving farms and entering other occupations.
However, because of lack of adequate employment opportunities, the rapidly declining need for people to operate our farms has also meant low incomes for all too many of our rural families. We must therefore find ways to help provide a greater share of our national prosperity for those rural families that do not farm or who can no longer look to farming as a sole source of income.
Progress toward this goal will be made both through broader programs to fight poverty and through programs specially aimed at increasing economic opportunities and improving living conditions for rural people. The latter include a proposal for an insured loan program
89
which will help provide more and better housing in rural areas.
I shall shortly transmit to the Congress my recomendations to continue and improve our farm commodity programs.
For the longer run, we need to explore new approaches to the problems with which the farm commodity programs are designed to deal.
I have directed the Secretary of Agriculture to make a comprehensive review of the kinds of programs needed for the changing farm economy. I strongly believe that programs can be designed that will continue the national benefit from our present highly efficient commercial agriculture, bolster farm income, put less burden on the Federal budget, and direct more of our effort to the problems of low-income farmers.
Natural resources: During its last session, the Congress passed a number of far-reaching laws that will advance significantly the development, conservation, and use of our natural resources. They include the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, the Wilderness Act, and the Water Resources Research Act. The 1966 budget will implement these measures.
The budget also recommends the start of 37 new projects by the Corps of Engineers, 9 new projects by the Bureau of Reclamation, and 5 new projects by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
About two-thirds of the total expenditures for natural resources will be used to continue construction and operation of projects to provide water, control floods, improve navigation, and generate power.
Increased attention has been focused in recent years on the importance of the wise use and conservation of our water resources. Federal investment in water and related resources development has grown sharply—and is expected to grow further in the period ahead.
Urban, industrial, and recreational requirements for water have increased greatly in recent years and will continue to increase as our economy grows. The relative priorities of many historic water uses, including cropland, are changing. The implications of the changing needs for water resources programs and the most effective means of achieving our objectives are under intensified review to meet changing priorities.
The budget provides for a major expansion in research to develop improved technology for desalting water, including the use of nuclear energy. This program holds important promise in a world where water is a key to economic development and well-being.
I am also again recommending legislation to authorize river basin planning commissions and grants to States for planning the best use of water resources.
Nuclear energy will become increasingly important in meeting the rapidly growing demand for electric power. Power reactors must be improved, however, to make better use of nuclear fuel resources than they do today, as well as to provide economical electricity. In 1966, the Atomic Energy Commission plans to join with non-Federal groups in
90
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 26
the construction of two different advanced power reactors which incorporate substantial improvements over those now in use.
The Commission is also working toward the long-range objective of high-gain breeder reactors which produce significantly more fuel than they consume. These breeders would insure a tremendous energy source for centuries to come.
Commerce and transportation: The vitality of the millions of privately owned businesses is essential to our continued economic development. The Federal Government will continue to provide extensive encouragement toward this end.
In the depressed areas of our Nation, we must create a constructive partnership between industry and Government which will improve opportunities for new investment and new jobs.
I urge prompt congressional action to:
Extend the program begun by the Area Redevelopment Act of 1961, now scheduled to expire on June 30, 1965.
Amend the act so that Federal aids can be concentrated in areas of greatest need and can emphasize the most effective types of assistance.
If the Nation is to have a truly efficient system of transportation, we must revise the traditional Government programs of regulation and operating subsidies to place greater reliance upon the forces of free competition. My proposals for charging users of Government transportation services a greater share of the costs incurred on their behalf are consistent with this objective. In addition, my proposals for transportation will provide for greater emphasis on the recreational and scenic aspects of our road system.
To encourage long-overdue improvements in surface transportation in our densely populated regions, I will propose legislation to authorize a comprehensive program of technical research and development on high-speed intercity surface transport. As a first step, we will begin demonstrations of possible improvements in existing rail passenger services in the northeast corridor of the Nation.
By increasing efficiency and productivity, the Post Office Department has been able to avoid a general increase in postal rates since calendar year 1962. Despite these efforts, however, significant postal deficits are now estimated in the current and future years. At my request, a panel of distinguished citizens will consider whether certain postal rates should be increased to bring them into line with postal costs.
Housing and community development: The Federal Government’s role in the Nation’s huge annual investment in housing and community development is largely indirect. The Government insures savings and loan accounts and mortgages, encouraging private investment and making large direct Federal investments unnecessary. Today these insurance programs are involved in about half of the homes purchased or being built.
Yet, some direct Federal aid is, and will remain, necessary. This type of aid
gives incentives to forward-looking communities, lenders and builders, and private citizens, who share the national concern over the unsatisfactory state of American cities.
In a message on housing and urban development, I will present my proposals for further extension of the Federal-local-private partnership in meeting city problems. Revitalized Federal leadership through a new Department of Housing and Urban Development will be coupled with increased emphasis on comprehensive local planning.
Federal financial assistance will be offered to—
Support the neighborhood facilities needed to serve the city’s people.
Increase the supply of low- and moderate-income housing.
Continue the attack on urban blight.
Encourage better standards of development and more adequate public facilities at the growing urban fringe. No recent step in improving the prospects for future urban development has been more significant than the enactment of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964. To extend similar opportunities to the local communities of the National Capital region, I urge authorization of the special Federal assistance required to provide the nucleus of an adequate system of high-speed urban transportation for this area.
Health, labor, and welfare: The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 rededicated the Nation to a vigorous attack on the causes of the poverty which grips one-fifth of our population—including 15 million children. Our objective is to mobilize local, State, and Federal resources in a coordinated effort to assist the poor—especially children and youth—to achieve a better life.
The 1966 budget provides for almost doubling the new obligational authority and quadrupling the expenditures for this effort. These funds will—
Support 300 urban and rural community action programs.
Provide work opportunities, remedial education, and vocational training for 330,000 youths in the Job Corps and the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
Provide work-study opportunities for 100,000 needy college students and work experience for 110,000 unemployed adults.
Support the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA); finance literacy training for adults; and assist migrant workers, farmers, and other low-income rural families.
To improve health care and facilities for the American people, the 1966 budget includes new proposals for—
Hospital insurance for the aged under social security.
Multipurpose regional medical centers to provide the most advanced diagnosis and treatment for heart disease, cancer, stroke, and other major diseases.
Grants for operating expenses of medical and dental schools.
Initial staffing of community mental health centers.
Improved medical diagnostic and treatment services for preschool and school-age children and youth.
Grants for projects to reduce water pollution caused by combined storm and sanitary sewers.
Increased aid to State and local air and water pollution control agencies for research and for more vigorous enforcement.
Our social security system provides needed day-in and day-out support to the millions who have contributed to it during their working years. This system needs strengthening.
In addition to hospital insurance for the aged, I am proposing legislation to provide an average 7-percent increase in social security benefits, retroactive to January 1, 1965. The increase in benefit payments will amount to about $2 billion in 1966.
I am proposing legislation to authorize long overdue improvements in the unemployment insurance system.
Improvements are also needed in our public assistance and manpower training programs.
Legislation will be recommended to increase the Federal share of public assistance payments, establish a program of medical care for children in families unable to afford such care, and authorize payments for needy aged persons in mental and tuberculosis hospitals.
Recommendations will also be made to broaden the Manpower Development and Training Act and increase the Federal share of project costs to 90 percent from the 66 percent which would go into effect under present law in 1966.
Education: Among the unfinished tasks of our Nation, the improvement of education deserves first priority.
It is our primary weapon in the war on poverty and the principal tool for building a Great Society.
This budget recognizes the increasing Federal responsibility to expand educational opportunity for all people and at all levels. It provides an increase in 1966 of over 60 percent in new obligational authority and over 75 percent in outlays. The programs of the Office of Education alone are more than doubled in 1966.
The 88th Congress enacted more education legislation than any previous Congress. About 30 percent of the estimated increase in expenditures for education in 1966 is to carry out the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, the Vocational Education Act of 1963, the Library Services and Construction Act of 1964, and the National Defense Education Act Amendments of 1964.
But much remains to be done. Federal aid to meet critical needs in elementary and secondary education has not been enacted. Such aid is vital if we are to end the situation in which children are handicapped for life because they happen to live in communities which cannot support good schools.
The program I am proposing emphasizes assistance to improve elementary and secondary education, particularly for children who live in poverty. It will

I also propose to expand present programs of support for academic research and science education. In 1966, expenditures by the National Science Foundation will increase by 25 percent, primarily to help provide an adequate rate of growth in Federal support for basic research in universities. Consistent with these objectives, I recommend that the Congress remove its restrictions on payments to universities for indirect costs of research grants.
Veterans benefits and services: Veterans benefits and services under the basic, continuing compensation, pension, and medical care programs will be at record levels in 1966.
Nearly 4% million veterans or their survivors will receive compensation and pension payments.
Six hundred and ninety thousand veterans will be admitted to hospitals, domiciliary homes, or nursing homes.
Legislation enacted in 1964 by the 88th Congress to increase pension rates and to establish new nursing home programs will entail expenditures in 1966 of more than $100 million.
In line with the trend of recent years, an increasing part of the expenditures for veterans will be for non-service-con-nected benefits and services. As we continue to improve our social security and health protection programs, we should place greater reliance on these programs for meeting veterans needs not connected with their military service. Our major emphasis in veterans programs should be concentrated on meeting fully our obligation to those who were disabled in the defense of the country and to their dependents and survivors.
The Appalachian region: The Appalachian region of the United States has not shared fully in the great growth and prosperity enjoyed by the Nation as a whole. The 16 million people of this 165,000-square-mile area deserve a better opportunity to improve their region.
Many of the education, health, housing, and economic opportunity programs already outlined in the budget will help to overcome the problems brought on by chronic poverty. We need to make the most effective use of these programs.
panding assistance to colleges and to college students. My proposals were presented more fully in a special message on education.
But a special effort is required to help this region. This means that Federal, State, local, and private institutions must combine to—
Improve access to the region. Develop its natural resources. Promote better employment opportunities for its people.
I urge the enactment of legislation to make this possible.
Employee pay: In preparing this budget, I have given close attention to the matter of Government pay.
Federal pay raises in the past 3 years have moved us much nearer to realizing the principle that civilian pay rates should be comparable to those in private enterprise for the same levels of work and that changes in pay and allowances of members of the uniformed forces should keep pace with advances in the general economy. These policies have been firmly established after careful congressional review. Taken together, they assure that civilian and military pay are effectively interrelated and maintained at rates which are fair to taxpayers and to Federal employees.
I believe, however, that it is equally essential to assure that any proposals for further pay adjustments during this calendar year accurately reflect pay developments in the private economy and be compatible with our national wage and price objectives.
For these reasons, I am appointing a special panel to make a prompt review of the present situation. This panel will be composed equally of distinguished public members and officers of the executive branch. It will report to me on April 1, 1965, after which I will make a recommendation to the Congress. Provision has been made in the allowance for contingencies for a possible military and civilian pay increase.
PUBLIC DEBT
Changes in the amount of public debt from year to year reflect primarily the amount of the budget surplus or deficit. Base don the estimates presented in this budget, the debt on June 30, 1965, will be $316.9 billion and on June 30, 1966, $322.5 billion.
Public debt at end of year [Fiscal years. In billions]
Description	1963 actual	1964 actual	1965 estimate	1966 estimate
Owned by Federal agencies and trust funds		$57.9	$60.7	$62.5	$64.4
Owned privately and by Federal Reserve banks.	248.6	251.8	254.4	258.1
Total		306.5	312.5	316.9	322.5
Note.—For further details see table 11 in pt. 2 of this document.
Under present law, the temporary debt limit of $324 billion will continue in effect through June 30, 1965. Then—if no action is taken—the permanent legislative ceiling of $285 billion will again become effective. It will be necessary, therefore, to raise the legal debt ceiling before that date.
The size of the debt limit needed is strongly affected by the seasonal pattern of Federal receipts and expenditures. Since receipts are always larger in the last half of the fiscal year, the public debt during 1966 will, from time to time, exceed the level presently estimated for June 30, 1966.
These seasonal fluctuations will require a higher debt limit than would be necessary if we had only to consider the amount of debt at the end of the fiscal year.
The need for flexibility in managing the debt must also be considered in fixing the debt limit. The Treasury generally borrows relatively large amounts of cash at periodic intervals during the year. These sizable financing operations are—and should be—carefully timed to take full advantage of favorable market conditions when they exist.
REDUCING GOVERNMENT COSTS
As we focus attention on improving the quality of American life, we must also see to the quality of American Government.
The tasks we face are formidable. They require new dedication, new vision, and new skills. We have neither the resources nor the right to saddle our people with unproductive and inefficient Government organization, services, or practices.
This must be a year of renewal—a year that will be long remembered for what we accomplish in bringing the public service to its highest state of readiness.
To realize this renewal, action will be necessary on a wide front. I pledge that this administration will strive to conduct the work of the Government by the same exacting standards that would apply in the most expertly managed private business.
Government organization: We must reorganize and modernize the structure of the executive branch in order to focus responsibilities and increase efficiency. I will shortly propose certain reorganizations which will constitute the initial and most urgent steps that I deem necessary to consolidate functions and strengthen coordination of related activities.
I will ask that permanent reorganization authority be granted to the Presi

dent to initiate improvements in Government organization, subject to the disapproval of the Congress.
Controlling employment: In this budget, as in the budget for 1965, I have insisted upon stringent criteria to control the growth of Federal civilian employment. It is important that we have enough people to carry on the Government’s business efficiently, but we must also see that we have no more employees than we need.
Realistic guidelines and goals have been established to aid administrators in the effective management of the Government’s large and diverse work force. Controls on employment have been established for each agency. To remove the guesswork from determination of employment needs, agencies are installing improved work measurement systems, and the Bureau of the Budget is providing advice and assistance in introducing measures of productivity into agency management systems. The result of such efforts has been and will continue to be a reduction in the size of the Federal work force relative to the work being accomplished. The effectiveness of these controls may be seen in the fact that had Federal civilian employment kept its 1955 relationship to total population, Federal employees would have totaled 2,747,000 on June 30, 1964, more than 275,000 above the actual number as of that date.
Modest and highly selective increases in employment are proposed in the budget for 1966, mainly to carry out new and expanded programs recommended in this budget and to reduce excessive overtime in the Post Office Department. At the same time, we will take full advantage of every opportunity to keep the work force at minimum levels by eliminating functions, consolidating operations, closing unnecessary offices and installations, and abolishing vacancies. Total civilian employment proposed for 1966 is about 1 percent above the totals for the current year, and I am confident that we will be able to keep actual employment somewhat below these estimates.
Management improvement and cost reduction: The past year has been a suc-cesful one from the standpoint of improved management and cost reduction. Next year will be still better.
Led by the outstanding performance of the Department of Defense, Government agencies last year undertook cost reductions that saved almost $3.5 billion. These economies were not easy to come by. They have resulted from the concentrated work of Government officials and employees in all agencies, large and small. They reflect a wide variety of actions ranging from the abolition of reports and other publications to the introduction of computers, the application of modern business equipment, the adoption of new purchasing methods, and decisions to close major installations.
I am counting heavily on the continuation and acceleration of cost reduction and management improvement efforts. Every dollar saved in this way can be put
to better use in carrying on more urgent business. And today every dollar is important. Among other things, we must—
Continue our war on excessive paperwork.
Increase our capacity to find and correct management weaknesses throughout the Government.
Reexamine our career services, making certain that they are all they should be with respect to selection, training, placement, promotion, rotation, retirement, and removal.
Seek legislation that will remove legal barriers to efficient operation.
I have instructed the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to give direction to a comprehensive, Government-wide cost reduction program to be put into effect in every department and agency. In general, this program will require the head of each agency to—
Take personal charge of cost reduction efforts.
Set specific goals for reductions in cost.
Reassess priorities for all programs and operations.
Identify and remove roadblocks to economy.
Verify reported savings.
I believe the Congress and the American people approve my goals of economy and efficiency. I believe they are as opposed to waste as I am. We can and will eliminate it.
CONCLUSION
Since I sent you my first budget a year ago—
Four million Americans have been born.
Three million two hundred thousand young people have reached college age.
One million seven hundred thousand new families have been formed.
One million three hundred thousand persons have entered the labor force.
One million five hundred thousand persons have reached retirement age. Thus, our Nation faces growing responsibilities. But we also possess growing resources to meet them.
One result of our expanding economy is a larger revenue potential. This means a potential for—
Necessary increases in Federal expenditures.
Reductions in taxes.
Reductions in the public debt.
No one of these goals is paramount at all times. Each must be balanced against the others to assure our continued progress toward a Great Society.
This progress does not rest on economic growth alone. It is aimed at improving the quality of our way of life. And it is aimed at insuring that all Americans share in this way of life.
The Federal Government must do its part.
This does not mean simply spending more.
It does mean spending more on some new and vital activities. But it also means cutting back or eliminating activities which are less urgent or no longer necessary.
Where there is waste, to end it; where there are needs, to meet them; where there are just hopes, to move toward their fulfillment—that is the object of the budget which I now submit to your consideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

To the Congress of the United States:
I am proud to transmit—as I know the Congress will be proud to receive—this review of the significant successes of our Nation’s aeronautic and space efforts in the calendar year of 1964.
The advances of 1964 were gratifying and heartening omens of the gains and good to come from our determined national undertaking in exploring the frontiers of space. While this great enterprise is still young, we began during the year past to realize its potential in our life on earth. As this report notes, practical uses of the benefits of space technology were almost commonplace around the globe—warning us of gathering storms, guiding our ships at sea, assisting our mapmakers, and serving, most valuably of all, to bring the peoples of many nations closer together in joint peaceful endeavors.
Substantial strides have been made in a very brief span of time—and more are
to come. We expect to explore the moon, not just visit it or photograph it. We plan to explore and chart planets as well. We shall expand our earth laboratories into space laboratories and extend our national strength into the space dimension.
The purpose of the American people— expressed in the earliest days of the space age—remains unchanged and unwavering. We are determined that space shall be an avenue toward peace and we both invite and welcome all men to join with us in this great opportunity.
In summary form, the accompanying report depicts the contributions of the various departments and agencies of the Government to the Nation’s aeronautic and space accomplishments during 1964.

ECONOMIC REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Joint Economic Committee:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to report—
That the state of our economy is excellent;
That the rising tide of our prosperity, drawing new strength from the 1964 tax cut, is about to enter its fifth consecutive year;
That, with sound policy measures, we can look forward to uninterrupted and vigorous expansion in the year ahead.
PROGRESS TOWARD OUR ECONOMIC GOALS
FULL EMPLOYMENT
In the year just ended, we have made notable progress toward the Employment Act’s central goal of “useful employment opportunities, including self-employment, for those able, willing, and seeking to work, and maximum employment, production, and purchasing power.”
Employment
Additional jobs for 1% million persons have been created in the past year, bringing the total of new jobs since January 1961 to 4y2 million.
Unemployment dropped from 5.7 percent in 1963 to 5.2 percent in 1964 and was down to 5 percent at year’s end.
Production
Gross national product (GNP) advanced strongly from $584 billion in 1963 to $622 billion in 1964.
Industrial production rose 8 percent in the past 12 months.
Purchasing power
The average weekly wage in manufacturing stands at a record $106.55, a gain of $3.89 from a year ago and of $17.50 from early 1961.
Average personal income after taxes has reached $2,288 a year—up 17 percent in 4 years.
Corporate profits after taxes have now risen continuously for 4 straight years—
from a rate of $19 y2 billion early in 1961 to nearly $32 billion at the end of 1964.
But high levels of employment, production, and purchasing power cannot rest on a sound base if we are plagued by slow growth, inflation, or a lack of confidence in the dollar. Since 1946, therefore, we have come to recognize that the mandate of the Employment Act implies a series of objectives closely related to the goal of full employment; rapid growth, price stability, and equilibrium in our balance of payments.
RAPID GROWTH
True prosperity means more than the full use of the productive powers available at any given time. It also means the rapid expansion of those powers. In the long run, it is only a growth of overall productive capacity that can swell individual incomes and raise living standards. Thus, rapid economic growth is clearly an added goal of economic policy.
Our gain of $132 billion in GNP since the first quarter of 1961 represents an average growth rate (in constant prices) of 5 percent a year.
This contrasts with the average growth rate of 2^2 percent a year between 1953 and 1960.
Part of our faster gain in the last 4 years has narrowed the “gap” that had opened up between our actual output and our potential in the preceding years of slow expansion. But the growth of our potential is also speeding up. Estimated at 3 V2 percent a year during most of the 195O’s, it is estimated at 4 percent in the years ahead; and sound policies can and should raise it above that, even while moving our actual performance closer to our potential.
PRICE STABILITY
I regard the goal of overall price stability as fully implied in the language of the Employment Act of 1946.
We can be proud of our recent record on prices:
Wholesale prices are essentially unchanged from 4 years ago, and from a year ago.
Consumer prices have inched upward at an average rate of 1.2 percent a year since early 1961, and 1.2 percent in the past 12 months. Much of this increase probably reflects our inability fully to measure improvements in the quality of consumer goods and services.
BALANCE OF PAYMENTS EQUILIBRIUM
The Employment Act requires that employment policy be “consistent” with “other essential considerations of national policy.” Persistent balance of payments deficits in the 1950’s reached an annual average of nearly $4 billion in 1958-60. Deficits of this size threatened to undermine confidence in the dollar abroad and limited our ability to pursue, simultaneously, our domestic and oversea objectives. As a result, restoring and maintaining equilibrium in the U.S. balance of payments has for some years been recognized as a vital goal of economic policy.
During the past 4 years—
Our overall balance of payments position has improved, and the outflow of our gold has been greatly reduced.
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 28
106
Our commercial exports have risen more than 25 percent since I960, bringing our trade surplus to a new postwar record.
The annual dollar outflow arising from our aid and defense commitments has been cut $1 billion, without impairing programs.
Our means of financing the deficit have been strengthened, reducing the gold outflow and helping to build confidence in the dollar.
CONSISTENCY OF OUR GOALS
Thus, the record of our past 4 years has been one of simultaneous advance toward full employment, rapid growth, price stability, and international balance.
We have proved that with proper policies these goals are not mutually inconsistent. They can be mutually reinforcing.
THE ROLE OF ECONOMIC POLICY
The unparalleled economic achievements of these past 4 years have been founded on the imagination, prudence, and skill of our businessmen, workers, investors, farmers, and consumers. In our basically private economy, gains can come in no other way.
But since 1960 a new factor has emerged to invigorate private efforts. The vital margin of difference has come from Government policies which have sustained a steady, but noninfiationary, growth of markets.
I believe that 1964 will go down in our economic and political history as the “year of the tax cut.”
It was not the first time that taxes were cut, of course, nor will it be the last time. But it was the first time our Nation cut taxes for the declared purpose of speeding the advance of the private economy toward “maximum employment, production, and purchasing power.” And it was done in a period already prosperous by the standard tests of rising production and incomes. In short, the tax cut was an expression of faith in the American economy:
It expressed confidence that our economy would translate higher aftertax incomes and stronger incentives into increased expenditures in our markets.
It recognized the presence of untapped productive capacity. We cut taxes confident that the economy would respond to increased buying by producing more goods at stable prices rather than the same output at higher prices.
It insisted on getting full performance from the American economy. The promise of the tax cut for 1964 was fulfilled. Production, employment, and incomes jumped ahead. Unemployment was whittled down steadily.
Since 1960, the balance between budget expenditures and taxes has been boldly adjusted to the needs of economic growth. We have recognized as self-defeating the effort to balance our budget too quickly in an economy operating well beloiY its potential. And we have recognized as fallacious the idea that economic stimulation can come only
from a rapid expansion of Federal spending.
Monetary policy has supported fiscal measures. The supply of credit has been wisely tailored to the legitimate credit needs of a noninfiationary expansion, while care has been taken to avoid the leakage of short-term funds in response to higher interest rates abroad.
Fiscal and monetary policies to build our prosperity have been buttressed by measures—
To improve the education, skills, and mobility of our labor force;
To stimulate investment in new and modern plants and machinery;
To expand exports;
To assist in rebuilding the economic base of communities and areas that have lagged behind;
To strengthen our farm economy and support farm income;
To conserve and develop our natural resources;
To keep a sound flow of credit moving to home buyers and small businesses;
To redevelop decaying urban areas;
To strengthen our transportation network; and
To offer business and labor a guide for sound and noninfiationary price and wage decisions.
Public policies to build a sound prosperity have found their response in equally constructive private efforts.
Our businessmen have controlled their costs, increased their efficiency, and developed new markets at home and abroad.
They have kept their inventories under tight control and have prudently geared their plant expansion to rising markets in an expanding economy.
Consumers have used rising incomes and tax savings to lift their standards of living, while adding to their wealth to assure their future standards of living.
Workers have realized that wage gains which justify employers’ raising prices vanish when they take their pay envelopes into the stores—and cost them much when they draw on their savings.
Workers and managers have cooperated to facilitate the adoption of new technology, while solving the human problems it sometimes creates.
As a result of public and private policies, we have come to our present state of prosperity without pressures or imbalances that would foretell an early end to our expansion. Instead, we look forward to another year of sustained and healthy economic growth.
THE UNFINISHED TASKS
Our prosperity is widespread, but it is not complete. Our growth has been steady, but its permanence is not assured. Our achievements are great, but our tasks are unfinished.
1.	Four years of steadily expanding job opportunities have not brought us to full employment. Some 3.7 million of our citizens want work but are unable to find it. Up to 1 million more—“the hidden unemployed”—would enter the labor force if the unemployment rate
could be brought down just 1 percentage point.
In the next year, 1.3 million more potential workers will be added to our labor force, including a net increase of one-half million below the age of 20.
The more of these 6 million potential workers who find jobs in 1965—
The faster our total output will grow;
The greater will be the markets for the products of our factories and farms;
The larger will be our Federal revenues;
The greater will be the number of our citizens who know they are contributing to our society, not subsisting on the contributions of others;
The smaller will be the number who know the pangs of insecurity, deprivation, even of hunger;
The larger will be the number of teenagers who feel that society has a useful purpose for them.
The promise in the Employment Act of job opportunities for all those able and wanting to work has not yet been fulfilled. We cannot rest until it is.
2.	Four years of vigorous efforts have not yet brought our external payments into balance. We need to complete that task—and we will.
The stability of the American dollar is central not only to progress at home but to all our objectives abroad. There can be no question of our capacity and determination to maintain the gold value of the dollar at $35 an ounce. The full resources of this Nation are pledged to that end.
Progress in key sectors of our international payments has been good, but not enough. Gains in trade and savings in Government oversea payments have been offset in large measure by larger capital outflows. As a result our deficit remains far too large. We must and will reduce and eliminate it.
In the process of restoring external balance we must continue—in concert with other nations of the free world—to build an international economic order—
Based on maximum freedom of trade and payments;
In which imbalances in payment, whether surpluses or deficits, are soundly financed while being effectively eliminated;
In which no major currency can be undermined by speculative runs; and
In which the poorer nations are helped—through investment, trade, and aid—to raise progressively their living standards toward those of the developed world.
3.	Ceaseless change is the hallmark of a progressive and dynamic economy. No planned economy can have the flexibility and adaptability that flow from the voluntary response of workers, consumers, and managements to the shifting financial incentives provided by free markets.
In those activities entrusted to governments—as in those where private profit provides the spur—the search for efficiency and economy must never cease.
The American economy is the most efficient and flexible in the world. But
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE	107
1965
the task of improving its efficiency and flexibility is never done.
4.	American prosperity is widely shared. But too many are still precluded from its benefits by discrimination; by handicaps of illness, disability, old age, or family circumstance; by unemployment or low productivity; by lack of mobility or bargaining power; by failure to receive the education and training from which they could benefit.
The war against poverty has begun; its prosecution is one of our most urgent tasks in the years ahead.
5.	Our goals for individuals and our Nation extend far beyond mere affluence. The quality of American life remains a constant concern.
The task of economic policy is to create a prosperous America. The unfinished task of prosperous Americans is to build a Great Society.
Our accomplishments have been many, these tasks remain unfinished:
To achieve full employment without inflation;
To restore external equilibrium and defend the dollar;
To enhance the efficiency and flexibility of our private and public economies ;
To widen the benefits of prosperity; and
To improve the quality of American life.
ECONOMIC PROSPECTS FOR 1965
Approval of the fiscal program I have recommended means that GNP in 1965 should expand over 1964’s record level and reach—as the midpoint of a $10 billion range—$660 billion for the year.
Carried forward by the momentum of last year’s gains and fueled by the continuing stimulus of profits enlarged through tax reduction, private business investment in plant and equipment should grow nearly as much in 1965 as it did in 1964.
Current rapid gains in sales, and slim stocks in 1964, should produce a higher rate of production for inventory in 1965.
Residential construction will remain high.
State and local governments will continue to enlarge their buying.
Consumers’ confidence is strong. They will respond to rising earnings, higher social security benefits, and a cut in excise taxes by lifting their purchases, thereby providing a market for a full two-thirds of our expected overall gain in production.
FEDERAL FISCAL POLICY
Private demand will be strong in 1965. It will be further sustained by Federal fiscal measures.
The 1966 budget message outlines my fiscal philosophy. We have four priorities :
To strengthen our national defense;
To meet our pressing human needs;
To maximize the efficiency of Government operations;
To sustain the advance of our Nation’s economy.
In these priorities lies the key to our whole strategy of attack on waste:
The waste of lives and property and progress which is the cost of war;
The waste of human potential and self-respect which is the cost of poverty and lack of opportunity;
The waste of excessive Government personnel, obsolete installations, and outmoded public services which is the cost of inefficient government;
The waste of men and facilities and resources which is the cost of economic stagnation.
Purposeful expenditures, stimulative tax reduction, and economy in Government operations are the three weapons which, if used effectively, can relieve our society of the costs and consequences of waste.
Carrying out these principles, I have submitted a budget which will once again contribute expansionary force rather than restrictive pressure on our economy.
As measured by their effects on incomes and production, Federal expenditures, grants, and transfer payments in calendar 1965 will exceed by $5 billion their amount in 1964. The largest single part of this increase will arise from the 7-percent increase in social security payments I have proposed.
The reduction or elimination of many excise taxes—when fully effective, $1.75 billion a year—partially offset by appropriate new or increased user charges— will accomplish a net tax reduction of nearly $700 million within calendar year 1965. In addition, another $1 billion reduction in corporate income tax liabilities becomes effective this year. So does a further $3 billion reduction in personal tax liabilties—although not in withholding rates.
Should unfavorable developments in the private economy during 1965 unexpectedly make this budgetary stimulus inadequate to maintain a strong pace of expansion, I shall be prepared to consider additional fiscal action.
PROGRESS TOWARD FULL EMPLOYMENT
A GNP of around $660 billion, with expansion throughout the year, will give us our fifth straight year of substantial economic gains—a record without peacetime precedent.
The productive powers of our dynamic economy are now expanding so rapidly that a gain of $38 billion will do little more than keep up with the expansion of our capacity, and will make only modest inroads into the still too heavy unemployment of our human and physical resources. But unemployment in 1965 should average less than the 5.2 percent of 1964.
The road to maximum employment, production, and purchasing powei’ will not be easily or quickly traveled. And it has no final destination. The challenge of maintaining full employment once reached will be as urgent and as difficult as reaching it.
COMBATING RECESSIONS
A time of prosperity with no recession in sight is the time to plan our defenses against future dips in business activity.
I do not believe recessions are inevitable. Up to now, every past expansion
has ended in recession or depression— usually within 3 years from its start. But the vulnerability of an expansion cannot be determined by the calendar. Imbalance—not old age—is the threat to sustained advance.
In principle, public measures can head off recessions before they start. Unforeseen events and mistakes of public or private policy will nonetheless occur. Recessions may be upon us before we recognize their warning signs.
We can head them off, or greatly moderate their length and force—if we are able to act promptly.
The stimulating force of tax cuts is now generally recognized.
The Congress could reinforce confidence that jobs and markets will be sustained by insuring that its procedures will permit rapid action on temporary income tax cuts if recession threatens.
Recessions usually arise from a reduction in the intensity of private demand for goods and services. At such a time, it may be appropriate to employ idle or potentially idle resources in sound programs of public expenditure.
The programs which should be considered for expansion at such times would be those—
That meet important public needs;
That are capable of quick acceleration—not just in the assignment of funds but in the hiring of workers and the production of goods;
That in any event would have been increased in the next regular budget, or that are capable of quick and efficient termination when the need has passed.
MONETARY POLICY IN 1965
As in 1964, an expansionary monetary policy will be tempered by the urgency of our balance-of-payments problem. But barring domestic or international emergency, our monetary and debt-management policies can serve—as they have since 1960—to accommodate the credit needs of a noninflationary expansion.
Long-term interest rates, in particular, will continue to be held down by the vast flow of savings into private financial institutions. Long-term borrowers now reasonably plan on the essential stability of long-term interest rates in 1965.
Monetary policy must be free of arbitrary restriction. It must be prepared to move quickly—
If excessive demand should threaten inflation;
If an outflow of liquid funds should unexpectedly worsen our balance of payments.
We expect neither of these in 1965. Rather, we expect a continuation of sound and healthy economic expansion.
The Federal Reserve System must be free to accommodate that expansion— in 1965 and in the years beyond 1965. Such an expansion needs to be supported by further orderly growth in money and credit. But this growth, as it is reflected in Federal Reserve note and deposit liabilities, could easily absorb—within 2 years or less, and without the outflow of a single ounce of gold—the present oper
108
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 28
ating margin over the 25 percent “gold cover” required by existing law.
Clearly, we should place beyond any doubt the ability of the Federal Reserve to meet its responsibility for providing an adequate but not excessive volume of bank reserves.
Clearly, we should place beyond any doubt our ability to use our gold to make good our pledge to maintain the gold value of the dollar at $35 an ounce with every resource at our command.
I am requesting the Congress, therefore, to eliminate the arbitrary requirement that the Federal Reserve banks maintain a gold certificate reserve against their deposit liabilities.
The desirability of prompt action does not arise from any sudden emergency. If required at any time in defense of the dollar, gold could and would be released from the present requirement under the provisions of existing law.
But we should not permit a provision of law framed for the different circumstances of an earlier day to raise any questions about our ability to carry out effective and responsible monetary and credit policies for domestic prosperity with stable prices, and for defense of the dollar abroad.
MAINTAINING WAGE-PRICE STABILITY
The remarkable price stability of 1959-63 persisted throughout 1964. There is good reason to believe that it will continue in 1965.
Yet watchful caution must govern public and private policies in 1965.
Though the margin remains substantial, our economy is now closer to full utilization than at any time since 1957. Despite the general moderation of labor settlements and the general restraint by pricemakers in industries that have price discretion, there have been disturbing exceptions. Moreover, temporary and accidental factors—such as those that affected some nonferrous metals in 1964—could spark price increases in another sector of our economy in the year ahead.
Individual prices will have to rise, where productivity gains are small or materials costs go up. But these should be balanced by price cuts elsewhere.
We can no more afford inflation in 1965 than we could in 1964. Our bal-ance-of-payments problem is not solved. We have only recently begun to regain the competitive edge in international markets that was impaired by the inflation of the mid-1950’s.
Federal budgetary and monetary policies must not permit a generalized excess of demand over supply to pull up prices. But, equally, private price and wage decisions must not push up costs and prices.
I count on the sense of public responsibility of our labor leaders and our industrial leaders to do their full part to protect and extend our price stability.
Reasonable price and wage guideposts are again spelled out in the accompanying report of the Council of Economic Advisers. I commend them to the attention of the American public and leaders of labor and industry.
With the help of the Council and of other agencies of Government, I intend—
To maintain a close watch on wage and price developments;
To draw public attention to those private actions which threaten the public interest;
To ask, as I have recently done in the case of steel prices, for special, detailed analysis of price or wage increases in key sectors of the economy; and
To oppose legislative enactments that threaten to raise costs and prices and to support those that will stabilize or reduce costs and prices.
INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICIES
Restoring balance in our external payments
Continued cost and price stability is fundamental to correction of our bal-ance-of-payments deficit; it is the foundation on which we must build our entire effort to achieve external equilibrium. In addition, we must continue and intensify more specific attacks on the problem.
We are continuously reviewing our aid and defense programs to achieve the maximum savings in dollar expenditures abroad. Our aid programs must remain closely tied to exports of U.S. goods and services, until the balance-of-payments problem has been eliminated.
We must continue and strengthen measures to promote U.S. exports.
We will be alert to restrain any persistent outflow of short-term private funds in response to relatively high short-term interest rates in foreign countries.
To increase oui’ ability to attract foreign investment in U.S. securities, legislation will be proposed to improve the tax treatment of such investments.
More broadly, we need to reassess the adequacy of existing programs to deal with the balance-of-payments problem. The results of this reassessment will be set forth in a separate message to the Congress.
Building a stronger world order
Through expanded trade: In the Kennedy round of trade negotiations now underway at Geneva, we are working intensively for a broad liberalization of world trade in both industrial and agricultural products.
A successful outcome can be of crucial benefit not only to the industrialized countries but also to the developing countries of the world.
Through improved international monetary arrangements: We take pride in oui-leadership in the building of the postwar system of international monetary cooperation. We find reassurance in the wholehearted resolve of the industrialized countries of the free world to avoid repeating the costly mistakes of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The strength of international monetary cooperation was demonstrated dramatically in 1964 in repelling speculative attacks on the Italian lira and the British pound.
We will continue to pursue orderly growth at home and abroad—
On the basis of stable convertible currencies and the fixed $35 price for gold;
Through a wide network of bilateral and multilateral credit arrangements; and
Through frequent consultation between countries.
But we still have more to learn about— How best to share the burden of making necessary mutual adjustments when countries run persistent deficits or surpluses in their balances of payments; and
How best to meet the need of insuring orderly growth in world liquidity to finance expanding world trade.
We will continue to seek agreement on these problems with other countries; we are confident that effective solutions will be found. We look toward early agreement on an increase in the resources of the International Monetary Fund, which will further strengthen the international monetary system.
Through helping to raise incomes in less developed countries: U.S. foreign assistance programs further three basic American aims. By helping to advance the economic growth of the less developed nations, they—
Create the kind of world in which peace and freedom are most likely to flourish;
Bring closer a world economic order in which all nations will be strong partners;
Simultaneously, give a major stimulus to U.S. exports both in the present through direct financing of U.S. goods and services and for the future by developing the recipient’s ability to buy and his preference for American products.
MANPOWER POLICIES FOR A FLEXIBLE ECONOMY
Fiscal and monetary measures have the primary responsibility for furnishing “employment opportunities for those able, willing, and seeking to work.”
But the creation of jobs is not enough. Job opportunities and men must be matched. Workers must have the requisite skills—and the opportunity to gain new skills if advancing technology finds less use for their old ones.
To a substantial degree, strong demand for labor will bring workers and jobs together. But sole reliance on strong demand would place price stability under an unnecessary threat. And the time needed for such adjustments would place unnecessary burdens upon displaced employees and new entrants to the labor market.
To reduce human costs, raise productivity, and make possible full employment without inflation, this administration is developing an active manpower policy.

An efficient labor market brings together employers and potential employees—matching workers and jobs over time, space, and occupations. Most manjob matches occur unassisted, but a strong Federal-State employment service can make the difference between an effective and an inefficient labor market.
1965	JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
The efficiency of the U.S. Employment Service has improved in recent years, but further strengthening is required for truly efficient labor markets. My budget provides for that strengthening.
MANPOWER TRAINING
The Manpower Development and Training Act was passed in 1962 and broadened in 1963. Its purpose is to supply skills to those who, whether for lack of wisdom or lack of opportunity, failed to acquire them earlier. It aims to make possible retraining of those who would otherwise bear the burdens of society’s technological progress.
We intend to improve and expand our training programs in 1965. We will give special attention to basic training and basic education for those at the bottom of the ladder of skills.
PRIVATE PENSION AND WELFARE FUNDS
Spectacular growth has occurred in postwar years in private pension and welfare plans. They provide a vital supplement to public programs to assist older workers, disabled workers, and workers who lose their jobs. But potential problems have become evident.
Failure to give the worker a right to his pension if he should change his employment hampers labor mobility. And in some instances, absence of full funding has imperiled the retirement incomes of the affected workers.
I have asked several groups to study these and other difficult problems. I am now releasing—for consideration by unions, employers, the public, and the Congress—the report of my Committee on Corporate Pension Funds and Other Private Retirement and Welfare Programs.
MAINTAINING INCOMES OF THE DISADVANTAGED
Not every person can share fully in the fruits of our progress through his own daily productive effort. Large numbers of our retired and handicapped cannot work. Many workers still suffer unemployment. Even in prosperous times, some receive wages below our standards. And the poverty of one-fifth of our families traps too many of our children in lives without opportunity or aspiration.
I am proposing new programs and extensions of old ones to meet more effectively our obligation to the weak and disadvantaged.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Cash benefits must be increased to provide adequate support for the aged. I urge a 7-percent rise in social security benefits this year, retroactive to January 1, financed by an increase next January in the covered wage base and in the combined employer and employee contribution rates. Increases in public assistance payments to the needy aged, blind and disabled, and to needy children, should be enacted. We must continue to maintain the financial soundness of the social security system, at the same time taking care that its financing avoids the “fiscal drag” which could endanger our prosperity.
HOSPITAL INSURANCE FOR THE ELDERLY
We can and must assure improved health services for the aged whose health needs are greatest and whose financial resources most meager. A hospital insurance program for the elderly, financed by contributions through social security, will provide protection against the costs of hospital and posthospital extended care, home health visits, and outpatient diagnostic services. I urge the Congress to act promptly on this program.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Improved protection against the risks of unemployment is long overdue. A comprehensive program requires that—
Coverage be extended to additional workers under our Federal-State unemployment insurance program;
Benefits be kept in step with wages;
The duration of benefits be extended beyond the 26 weeks now authorized in most States for workers with a firm and substantial labor force attachment.
I shall recommend such a program.
FAIR LABOR STANDARDS
A large number of workers still lack the protection of Federal minimum standards.
I shall recommend coverage for an additional 2 million workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
POVERTY
America’s efforts to eradicate poverty are quickly taking shape under the Office of Economic Opportunity. Programs of community action, education, training, and work experience will strike at the roots of poverty, especially among our youth. I urge a doubling of appropriations to intensify these efforts .
IMPROVING URBAN LIFE
Our cities are the homes of more than two-thirds of the American people.
They must be communities where men can find security, significance, and fulfillment.
They must be centers of economic strength and commercial vitality.
They must be seats of learning, sources of culture, and centers of scientific achievement.
They must challenge and release the full productive and creative capacities of the people.
Our first task is to recognize that the city and its suburbs—often, indeed, several cities and their suburbs—constitute a single metropolitan area.
The Federal Government has neither wish nor power to abolish the legal boundaries that divide an urban area. But the Federal Government helps cit-ites because many aspects of urban life pose problems of national as well as local concern. We can increasingly require— as a condition for Federal help—that the separate units work and plan together to assure that Federal aid and federally financed facilities will be used effectively in improving urban life.
We must increasingly help our cities
109
Develop unified metropolitan transportation systems;
Supply adequate water and sewage service;
Provide community facilities and neighborhood centers;
Build adequate housing for low- and middle-income families;
Promote more efficient land use;
Set aside open spaces and develop new suburbs;
Replace or rehabilitate slum areas; and
Improve housing codes and code enforcement.
We need a new Department of Housing and Urban Development to strengthen our ability to cope with these problems.
I shall shortly send to the Congress a message containing my recommendations.
OTHER ECONOMIC POLICIES FOR 1965 AND
BEYOND
Natural resource development
America owes her greatness partly to the large public and private investments made to develop her abundant natural resources. Rapid growth and urbanization require intensified efforts to solve old problems and imaginative approaches to new challenges.
Especially requiring study and action are:
The protection of our environment. We need to strengthen our attack on air, water, and soil pollution.
Water resource programs: We must improve the efficiency, coordination, and comprehensiveness of our major water resource development programs. More realistic charges and user fees will improve equity and strengthen private incentives for efficient use.
Research programs: We must find new and more efficient ways of utilizing available resources. I have recommended increased research efforts in several areas, including the desalting of sea water.
Recreational resources: Urbanization, higher incomes, and expanded leisure time pose new demands for outdoor recreation. New and improved facilities are needed, particularly near metropolitan areas.
STRENGTHENING THE ECONOMIC BASE OF
COMMUNITIES
In 1961, the Congress recognized the special needs of distressed areas by passing the Area Redevelopment Act. Since then, hundreds of urban and rural communities have been strengthened by grants, loans, technical assistance, and training programs to help to build or restore their economic base. This program has helped distressed areas to benefit more fully from sustained prosperity.
Redirection of this program can benefit from the experience of the last 4 years. Future assistance should be sufficient to make a significant impact on the economic growth of the communities assisted. Integrated development plans must be devised for larger economic
110
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

areas with high promise of future viability, and communities must be helped to mobilize public and private leadership in an attack on local blight and depression.
I shall propose measures to achieve these goals, through an extension and strengthening of the Area Redevelopment Act.
I also urge the Congress to enact the special program to assist in redeveloping the Appalachian region.
CONSUMER INFORMATION
Informed consumer choice among increasingly varied and complex products requires frank, honest information concerning quantity, quality, and prices. Truth-in-packaging will help to protect consumers against product misrepresentation. Truth-in-lending will help consumers more easily to compare the costs of alternative credit sources.
TRANSPORTATION
The technological revolution in transportation, and large public and private investments in our highways, railroads, airways, and waterways, have greatly altered the nature of our transportation system. Our national transportation policy should be revised to reflect these changes, particularly by placing greater emphasis on competition and private initiative in interstate transportation. Fair and adequate user fees for our inland waterways, our Federal airways, and our Federal-aid highways will improve equity and efficiency in the use of these public resources.
As part of a well-rounded system of moving goods and people, there is urgent need and opportunity for high-speed, comfortable, and economical passenger transportation on densely traveled routes, such as in the northeast corridor.
I am recommending an enlarged program of research and demonstration projects to determine the best and cheapest way to meet this need.
INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The Department of Commerce—
Has proposed a State technical services program to enable States to join with universities and industry to create new jobs through wider application of advanced technology;
Is establishing a coordinated system for scientific and technical data, to reduce unnecessary duplication of research and lower the costs of obtaining scientific data.
My budget contains funds for these desirable programs.
AGRICULTURE
Americans owe much to the efficiency of our farmers. Their independent spirit and productive genius are the envy of the world. We must continue to assure them the opportunity to earn a fair reward for their efforts.
I will transmit to the Congress recommendations for improving the effectiveness of our expenditures on price and income supports.
Many small farmers cannot expect to earn good incomes from farming. But they—along with other rural Americans—will have an opportunity to share
in the fruits of our society through faster economic growth, better education and training opportunities, and improved health and community facilities. We must extend the benefits of American prosperity to all our people, including those in rural America.
EDUCATION AND HEALTH
In my message on education I proposed a program to insure an opportunity to every American child to develop to the full his mind and his skills.
In my message on health I proposed a massive new attack on diseases which afflict mankind.
We value education and health for their direct benefits to human understanding and happiness. But they also yield major economic benefits.
Investments in human resources are among our most profitable investments. Such investments raise individual productivity and incomes, with benefits to our whole society. They raise our rate of economic growth, increase our economy’s efficiency and flexibility, and form the cornerstone of our attack on poverty.
I believe that the Congress will find economic as well as human reasons to support my proposals on education and health.
CONCLUSION
In our economic affairs, as in every other aspect of our lives, ceaseless change is the one constant.
Revolutionary changes in technology, in forms of economic organization, in commercial relations with our neighbors, in the structure and education of our labor force converge in our markets. Free choices in free markets—as always—accommodate these tides of change.
But the adjustments are sometimes slow or imperfect. And our standards for the performance of our economy are continually on the rise. No longer will we tolerate widespread involuntary idleness, unnecessary human hardship and misery, the impoverishment of whole areas, the spoiling of our natural heritage, the human and physical ugliness of our cities, the ravages of the business cycle, or the arbitrary redistribution of purchasing power through inflation.
But as our standards for the performance of our economy have risen, so has our ability to cope with our economic problems.
Economic policy has begun to liberate itself from the preconceptions of an earlier day, and from the bitterness of class or partisan division that becloud rational discussion and hamper rational action.
Our tools of economic policy are much better tools than existed a generation ago. We are able to proceed with much greater confidence and flexibility in seeking effective answers to the changing problems of our changing economy.
The accomplishments of the past 4 years are a measure of the constructive response that can be expected from workers, consumers, investors, managers, farmers, and merchants to effective public policies that strive to define and achieve the national interest in—
Full employment with stable prices; Rapid economic growth;
Balance in our external relationships ;
Maximum efficiency in our public and private economies.
These perennial challenges to economic policy are not fully mastered; but we are well on our way to their solution.
As increasingly we do master them, economic policy can more than ever become the servant of our quest to make American society not only prosperous but progressive, not only affluent but humane, offering not only higher incomes but wider opportunities, its people enjoying not only full employment but fuller lives.

Whereas these liabilities constitute a potential claim against the United States gold stock of $15,200,000,000, of which less than $1,400,000,000 is “free gold” not required to serve as backing for our currency; and
Whereas the health of our domestic economy and strength of the dollar and its ability to serve as a key international reserve currency depends upon the early elimination of the balance-of-payments deficit and the creation of improved arrangements to serve the liquidity needs of an expanding international trade and payments system: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress of the United States that achievement of balance-of-payments equilibrium in a manner consistent with the dollar’s role as a key international reserve currency should receive the highest priority in the formation of national economic policy; and be it further
Resolved, That the maintenance of equilibrium in its international accounts should be a continuing and major goal of United States international economic policy; and be it further
Resolved, That the United States take the initiative to devise new and improved methods of permanently strengthening the international monetary and credit mechanism in order to provide (a) improved means of financing balance-of-payments deficits until basic corrective forces restore equilibrium, and (b) sufficient liquidity to finance future increases in world trade and payments; and be it further
Resolved, That the President be requested to call for an International Economic Conference to review the longterm adequacy of international credit; to recommend needed changes in existing financial institutions; to consider increased sharing of economic aid for development and military assistance; and to consider other pressing international economic problems placed before it by a preparatory committee for such Conference.
EXPRESSING SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MEANS OF RESTRAINING OUTFLOW OF PRIVATE CAPITAL
Mr. JAVITS submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 15);
113
which was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency:
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That, in order to develop more effective and acceptable means for restraining the outflow of capital from the United States as a necessary and positive step toward the elimination of the balance-of-payments deficit, it is the sense of the Congress that an Advisory Committee on Capital Export Policy should be established by the President; that such committee should consist of twelve persons of outstanding qualifications who are collectively representative of the banking community (commercial and investment) and of industry; and that such committee should report its findings and recommendations to the President and to the Congress not later than ninety days after its establishment.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
January 28
DISABILITY OF THE PRESIDENT
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
To the Congress of the United States:
In 1787, Benjamin Franklin remarked near the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia, “It astonishes me, sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does.”
One hundred and seventy-eight years later the relevance of that Constitution of 1789 to our society of 1965 is remarkable. Yet it is truly astonishing that, over this span, we have neither perfected the provisions for orderly continuity in the Executive direction of our system nor, as yet, paid the price our continuing inaction so clearly invites and so recklessly risks.
I refer, of course, to three conspicuous and long-recognized defects in the Constitution relating to the office of the Presidency:
1.	The lack of a constitutional provision assuring the orderly discharge of the powers and duties of the President— Commander in Chief—in the event of the disability or incapacity of the incumbent.
2.	The lack of a constitutional provision assuring continuity in the office of the Vice President, an office which itself is provided within our system for the primary purpose of assuring continuity.
3.	The lack of a constitutional provision assuring that the votes of electors in the electoral college shall without question reflect the expressed will of the people in the actual election of their President and Vice President.
Over the years, as I have noted, we have escaped the mischief these obvious omissions invite and permit. Our escape has been more the result of providence than of any prudence on our part. For it is not necessary to conjure the nightmare of nuclear holocaust or other national catastrophe to identify these omissions as chasms of chaos into which normal human frailties might plunge us at any time.
On at least two occasions in our history, and perhaps others, American Presidents—James Garfield and Woodrow Wilson—have for prolonged periods been rendered incapable of discharging their Presidential duties. On 16 occasions in our 36 administrations, the office of Vice President has been vacant—and over the two perilous decades since the end of the Second World War, that vital office has been vacant the equivalent of 1 year out of 4. Finally, over recent years, complex but concerted campaigns have been openly undertaken—fortunately without success, as yet—to subvert the electoral college so that it would register not the will of the people of individual States but, rather, the wishes of the electors themselves.
The potential of paralysis implicit in these conditions constitutes an indefensible folly for our responsible society in
these times. Commonsense impels, duty requires us to act—and to act now—without further delay.
Action is in the tradition of our forebears: Since adoption of the Bill of Rights—the first 10 amendments to our Constitution—9 of the 14 subsequent amendments have related directly either to the offices of the Presidency and VicePresidency or to assuring the responsiveness of our voting processes to the will of the people. As long ago as 1804 and as recently as 1964, Americans have amended their Constitution in striving for its greater perfection in these most sensitive and critical areas.
I believe it is the strong and overriding will of the people today that we should act now to eliminate these unhappy possibilities inherent in our system as it now exists. Likewise, I believe it is the consensus of an overwhelming majority of the Congress—without thought of partisanship—that effective action be taken promptly. I am, accordingly, addressing this communication to both Houses to ask that this prevailing will be translated into action which would permit the people, through the process of constitutional amendment, to overcome these omissions so clearly evident in our system.
I.	presidential inability
Our Constitution clearly prescribes the order of procedure for assuring continuity in the office of the Presidency in the event of the death of the incumbent. These provisions have met their tragic tests successfully. Our system, unlike many others, has never experienced the catastrophe of disputed succession or the chaos of uncertain command.
Our stability is, nonetheless, more superficial than sure. While we are prepared for the possibility of a President’s death, we are all but defenseless against the probability of a President’s incapacity by injury, illness, senility, or other affliction. A nation bearing the responsibilities we are privileged to bear for our own security—and the security of the free world—cannot justify the appalling gamble of entrusting its security to the immobilized hands or uncomprehending mind of a Commander in Chief unable to command.
On September 29, 1964, the Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 139, proposing a constitutional amendment to deal with this perplexing question of presidential disability—as well as the question, which I shall discuss below, of filling vacancies in the office of Vice President. The same measure has been introduced in this Congress as Senate Joint Resolution 1 and House Joint Resolution 1. The provisions of these measures have been carefully considered and are the product of many of our finest constitutional and legal minds. Believing, as I do, that Senate Joint Resolution 1 and House Joint Resolution 1 would responsibly meet the pressing need I have outlined, I urge the Congress to approve them forthwith for submission to ratification by the States.
II.	VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
Indelible personal experience has impressed upon me the indisputable logic and imperative necessity of assuring that the second office of our system shall, like the first office, be at all times occupied by an incumbent who is able and who is ready to assume the powers and duties of the Chief Executive and Commander in Chief.
In our history, to this point, the office of the Presidency has never devolved below the first clearly prescribed step of constitutional succession. In moments of need, there has always been a Vice President, yet Vice Presidents are no less mortal than Presidents. Seven men have died in the office and one has resigned— in addition to the eight who left the office vacant to succeed to the Presidency.
We recognized long ago the necessity of assuring automatic succession in the absence of a Vice President. Various statutes have been enacted at various times prescribing orders of succession from among either the presiding officers of the Houses of Congress or the heads of executive departments who, together comprise the traditional Cabinet of the President. In these times, such orders of succession are no substitute for an office of succession.
Since the last order of succession was prescribed by the Congress in 1947, the office of the Vice-Presidency has undergone the most significant transformation and enlargement of duties in its history.
Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy have successively expanded the role of the Vice President, even as I expect to do in this administration.
Once only an appendage, the office of Vice President is an integral part of the chain of command and its occupancy on a full-time basis is imperative.
For this reason, I most strongly endorse the objective of both Senate Joint Resolution 1 and House Joint Resolution 1 in providing that whenever there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President, provision shall exist for that office to be filled with a person qualified to succeed to the Presidency.
III.	REFORM OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM
We believe that the people should elect their President and Vice President. One of the earliest amendments to our Constitution was submitted and ratified in response to the unhappy experience of an electoral college stalemate which jeopardized this principle. Today there lurks in the electoral college system the everpresent possibility that electors may substitute their own will for the will of the people. I believe that possibility should be foreclosed.
Our present system of computing and awarding electoral votes by States is an essential counterpart of our Federal system and the provisions of our Constitution which recognize and maintain our Nation as a union of States. It supports the two party system which has served our Nation well. I believe this system
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
119
should be retained. But it is imperative that the electoral votes of a State be cast for those persons who receive the greatest number of votes for President and Vice President—and for no one else.
At the same time, I believe we should eliminate the omission in our present system which leaves the continuity of the offices of President and Vice President unprotected if the persons receiving a majority of the electoral votes for either or both of these offices should die after the election in November and before the inauguration of the President.
Electors are now legally free to choose the President without regard to the outcome of the election. I believe that if the President-elect dies under these circumstances, our laws should provide that the Vice-President-elect should become President when the new term begins. Conversely, if death should come to the Vice-President-elect during this interim, I believe the President-elect should, upon taking office, be required to follow the procedures otherwise prescribed for filling the unexpired term of the Vice President. If both should die or become unable to serve in this interim, I believe the Congress should be made responsible for providing the method of selecting officials for both positions. I am transmitting herewith a draft amendment to the Constitution to resolve these problems.
Favorable action by the Congress on the measures here recommended will, I believe, assure the orderly continuity in the Presidency that is imperative to the success and stability of our system. Action on these measures now will allay future anxiety among our own people— and among the peoples of the world—in the event senseless tragedy or unforeseeable disability should strike again at either or both of the principal offices of our constitutional system. If we act now, without undue delay, we shall have moved closer to achieving perfection of the great constitutional document on which the strength and success of our system have rested for nearly two centuries.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT ON INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations :
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange
Act of 1961—Public Law 87-256, the Fulbright-Hays Act—I transmit herewith the annual report on the international cultural exchange program for the fiscal year 1963.
This report deals with the influence for peace and progress which exchange-of-persons activities have become in the world of the 1960’s.
The varying stages of nationhood in the world today require a varying range of relationships on our part. I am convinced that exchanges of persons are uniquely appropriate and unusually effective activities for the needs and opportunities of these times. Such exchanges touch our societies at many points—involving students, teachers, professors, research scholars, athletes, government leaders, judges, economists, labor leaders, social workers, actors, authors, coaches, and many others—a broad panorama of professions and the arts.
In the single year covered by this report, some 10,000 people were overseas from this country, or here from other countries, in the friendly, constructive interchange the United States now sponsors. This exchange involved more than 130 countries and territories.
Congress can take particular and proper pride in this program. Since World War II—with full bipartisan support, as in Public Law 87-256—Congress has fathered and fostered this activity. Many Members of both Houses have a special knowledge of the vital role which exchanges now play in our relations and understandings with other nations. All along the way, the articulate leadership of the Congress has been a major strength for the program’s success.
The warm and strong support of the American people likewise deserves our praise. The volunteer services and family hospitality which our citizens and communities give to thousands of students and visitors from other countries is of incalculable value to the interest of international understanding.
I hope that our exchange activities, public and private, may grow. An enlarging investment means an enlarging return—not merely from the understanding others may acquire of us, but from the understanding we acquire of those with whom we share the hopes of these times and the destiny of this planet.
We in the United States have an abiding faith in the value of education to our own society’s success, and we are affirming that faith with a new and strengthened commitment to education in America. But education as a force for freedom, justice, and rationality knows no national boundaries—it is the great universal force for good. Our efforts in the exchange programs give that force added strength and justified support. For when we help other peoples achieve their highest and best aspirations, we truly work for understanding, for progress, and for peace. In this work, let us continue with new enthusiasm and confidence, for out of the un

expressing sense of congress relative TO EXTENSION OF WEST GERMAN STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON NAZI WAR CRIMINALS Mr. JAVITS (for himself and Mr.
Ribicoff), by unanimous consent, submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 16); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations :
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
Whereas the West German Bundestag is currently considering whether to extend a twenty-year period of limitation on the institution of criminal actions, otherwise barred by statute after May 1965, against Nazi war criminals charged with genocide or murder; and
Whereas under the law of the German Federal Republic such statute of limitations may be tolled by the institution of a judicially sanctioned investigation of any person suspected of a crime; and
Whereas as a result of the efforts of the Government of the German Federal Republic prosecutions or investigations of presently known war criminals have been instituted to the end that these felons will not escape justice; and
Whereas despite such efforts there is the distinct chance that some war criminals will escape justice through the operation of the statute of limitations and this is a question for the world and for morality; and
Whereas the chance that some war criminals will escape is enhanced by the possibility that certain files pertaining to their wartime activities are being withheld by the East German Government (Communist) for propaganda advantage in the event prosecution is no longer possible under the laws of the German Federal Republic; Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the President should request the Government of the German Federal Republic to take whatever action it deems necessary in providing for an extension of the statute of limitations affecting Nazi war criminals so that there will exist no possibility that any war criminal will escape justice through the operation of that statute.

Whereas the Federal Aviation Act recognizes that air transport is essential to economic progress, and hundreds of communities, with or without aid under the Federal Airport Act, have financed airports to keep their place in a growing nation; and
Whereas complaints as to lack of adequate airline service have been sent to Congress; and
Whereas cases before the Civil Aeronautics Board threaten the discontinuance of airline service at more than 100 points and there is narrow division within the Board between a policy of restriction and one of expanding service: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on Commerce shall make a thorough review of the needs of airline service, to set a progressive national policy and recommend any necessary legislation; and
That it is the sense of the Senate that, pending the outcome of such review, airline service be maintained to all points now served, on a frequency not less than at present.

Whereas the Congress of the United States deeply believes in freedom of religion for all people and is opposed to infringement of this freedom anywhere in the world; and
Whereas abundant evidence has made clear that the Government of the Soviet Union is persecuting Jewish citizens by singling them out for extreme punishment for alleged economic offenses, by confiscating synagogues, by closing Jewish cemeteries, by arresting rabbis and lay religious leaders, by curtailing religious observances, by discriminating against Jews in cultural activities and access to higher education, by imposing restrictions that prevent the reuniting of Jews with their families in other lands, and by other acts that oppress Jews in the free exercise of their faith; and
Whereas the Soviet Union has a clear opportunity to match the words of its constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion with specific actions so that the world may know whether there is a genuine hope for a new day of better understanding among all people: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (.the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that persecution of any persons because of their religion by the Soviet Union be condemned, and that the Soviet Union in the name of decency and humanity cease executing persons for alleged economic offenses, and fully permit the free exercise of religion and the pursuit of culture by Jews and all others within its borders.

HOME RULE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tydings in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia:
To the Congress of the United States:
The restoration of home rule to the citizens of the District of Columbia must no longer be delayed.
Our Federal, State, and local governments rest on the principle of democratic representation—the people elect those who govern them. We cherish the credo declared by our forefathers: no taxation without representation. We know full well that men and women give the most of themselves when they are permitted to attack problems which directly affect them.
Yet the citizens of the District of Columbia, at the very seat of the government created by our Constitution, have no vote in the government of their city. They are taxed without representation. They are asked to assume the responsibilities of citizenship while denied one of its basic rights. No major capital in the free world is in a comparable condition of disenfranchisement.
The denial of home rule to the District creates serious practical difficulties. The District is the ninth largest city in the United States—more populous than 11 of the States. Its government must handle the same problems which press with increasing urgency on the legislative, executive, and judicial arms of city governments throughout the Nation, and it must perform as well as many of the functions of State and county governments. Under the present system these duties fall upon busy Members of the Senate and the House who—in addition to their congressional responsibilities— must serve as State representatives, county supervisors, and city councilmen for Washington.
Self-government for the District would not be an innovation. It is a return to the views of the Founding Fathers and to the practice of the early days of the Nation. James Madison wrote in the Federalist that the inhabitants of the Nation’s Capital “* * * will have had their voice in the election of the government which is to exercise authority over
them; as a municipal legislature for local purposes, derived from their own suffrages, will of course be allowed them;
* * *.” Such a “municipal legislature” was established in 1802 under President Jefferson. It was strengthened in 1812 under President Madison, and in 1820, under President Monroe, it was enlarged to include an elected mayor.
Had it not been for the tragedy of tht, Civil War, local government would have continued. In 1871 the people of the District, deep in the problems of the reconstruction period and urgently needing a program of public works, acquiesced in a change to a territorial form of government under which they lost the right to elect their chief executive. The program of public works was badly executed and the territorial government was soon in virtual bankruptcy. In 1874 Congress withdrew the voting franchise entirely and substituted a commission form of government. The intent was to make the change temporary—a receivership which would be replaced by self-government as soon as the fiscal affairs of the city were on a sound basis. But this “receivership” has now lingered on for 90 years.
There is a fundamental Federal interest in the National Capital. The Constitution wisely delegates to the Congress supreme legislative power over “the seat of the Government of the United States.” The Congress can, however, delegate to a municipal legislature all the powers necessary for local self-government, and at the same time preserve fully its ultimate power and the Interests of the Federal Government.
The District of Columbia Charter Act which I am transmitting to the Congress today will relieve the Congress, to the maximum practical extent, of detailed legislative direction of District affairs while retaining essential control in the Congress. The bill—
(1)	Creates a representative local government for the District;
(2)	Provides a link between the Congress and the local government in the form of an elected delegate to the House of Representatives; and
(3)	Preserves intact the powers of the Congress and the President by (a) an express provision that the Congress is in no way deprived of its power to legislate for the District, and may repeal or modify any act of the local council, (b) a provision for an absolute veto by the President of any act of the local council, and (c) provisions for supervision of the fiscal affairs of the District by the General Accounting Office.
Home rule for the District has been unfinished business for far too long a time. Presidents of both parties—Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy—have urged it. Measures to provide it were passed by the Senate in the 81st, 82d, 84th, and 86th Congresses.
The people of the District are ready and eager to join fully in the democratic process. In the presidential election of 1964, more than 90 percent of the registered voters went to the polls.

INCREASED FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN MAINTAINING NATION’S CAPITAL CITY
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia:
The White House, February 2, 1965.
Dear Mr. President; I transmit herewith a proposed bill to provide for increased participation by the Federal Government in meeting the general governmental costs of the District of Columbia and to authorize additional Federal loans to the District for capital improvement programs.
The basis for the proposed bill is set out in the message which I sent to the Congress on January 21, 1965, transmitting the District of Columbia budget. The bill is intended to implement two of the three parts of my proposed fiscal program for the general government of the District. Implementation of the third part—the increases in certain local taxes, some of which require legislative authorization—will be proposed in a draft bill which the District Commissioners will shortly submit to the Congress.
Title I of the enclosed bill deals with the Federal payment to the District. It would establish an authorization based essentially on a formula designed to reflect the amount the Federal Government would pay toward the general governmental expenses of the District if it were a taxable entity. Because the formula is related to both local tax rates and the size of the Federal establishment within the District, the authorization would change upward or downward as changes occurred in local tax rates and property values, and in the size and extent of the Federal establishment. As my budget message states, this formula would produce an authorization in fiscal year 1966 of approximately $57 million, and changes in the several components of the formula are estimated to increase the authorization to approximately $75 million by fiscal year 1971.
Title II of the draft bill deals with the authority of the District to borrow for general fund purposes from the Treasury. In place of the present fixed sum authorization, which must be renewed when it is exhausted, the bill would establish a debt limit similar to that established for most State and local jurisdictions, but fixed conservatively at only 6 percent of the assessed value of real and personal property in the District. Under the proposal the limit would be approximately $233 million in fiscal year 1966, and it is estimated that it would rise to approximately $293 million in fiscal year 1971.
At the same time that the Federal Government is enlarging its demands on the District for space, facilities, and services, the District finds itself needing additional resources to meet its current requirements, and to catch up on its program of capital improvements. The Dis-
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
1965
trict is making progress, but enactment of this legislation is essential to the proper assignment between the Federal Government and the local citizens of the responsibility for providing the necessary funds.
I hope that hearings on the bill can be held promptly, and that the Congress will give it early approval.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

FARM PROGRAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry:
To the Congress of the United States:
The bounty of the earth is the foundation of our economy.
Progress in every aspect of our Nation’s life depends upon the abundant harvest of our farms.
Because 7 percent of our work force can produce our food and fiber, the vast majority of Americans can work at other tasks that make our democracy strong and prosperous.
Because our people eat better at less cost than any other people in all the world’s history, we can spend our earnings for the many other things which make life rewarding.
Because we have the means to conquer hunger, we can wage an unconditional war on poverty—and win it.
The farm people of this Nation have made and are continuing to make a lasting contribution to our national prosperity. As a matter of simple justice they should share equitably in this prosperity. They deserve a place of dignity and opportunity.
Farmers want new and expanding markets for their efficient production. Farmers want freedom to grow and prosper, freedom to operate competively and profitably in our present economic system.
As a nation we are increasingly recognizing that food and agricultural policies affect our entire economy. Sound agricultural policy must give full consideration not only to the role of the producer, but also of the processor, the distributor, the exporter, and the ultimate consumer. This is one major reason for a national investment in agricultural programs.
Farm policy is not something separate. It is part of an overall effort to serve our national interest, at home and around the world.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO
These are the objectives which should guide us:
1.	An abundance of food and fiber at reasonable and stable prices for the people of the United States.
2.	Effective use of our agricultural resources to promote the interest of the United States and world peace through trade and aid.
3.	A workable balance between supply and demand at lower costs to the Government.
4.	Opportunity for the efficient family farmer to earn parity of income from farming operations.
5.	Parity of opportunity for all rural people, including new opportunity for small farmers.
The gains which we have made in the past 4 years—in raising farm income, in reducing surplus stocks, in promoting new economic opportunity in rural areas—point the direction we should continue to follow.
THE RURAL SCENE
Rural America is the scene of one of the greatest productive triumphs in the history of man. Yet, despite its service
to the Nation, rural America is also the scene of wasted human talent, where there are too many people without jobs and too many with only part-time jobs.
Opportunity in rural America will require wise farm programs to support and stabilize the incomes of commercial family farmers. It will require solutions to the problems of small farmers and those who live in the towns and villages of rural America.
Only one of four rural families now lives on a farm. Only 1 out of 10 boys now growing up on farms can expect to earn a good living as a full-time farmer. Most young people in rural areas must go elsewhere to find their opportunities.
I am determined that the farmers who have been efficient and successful in agriculture shall be fairly rewarded for their success. And I am equally determined that the rural community which has sustained the growth of agriculture shall have the chance to broaden its economic base and the range of opportunity which it can offer the children of its families.
To the White House in recent months have come hundreds and thousands of letters from men and women who live in rural America. Their words are eloquent testimony to the changes which are occurring there and to the uncertainty which those changes are causing:
Thirty years ago, over 7 million American families lived on the farm. Today 3^ million families feed a population that has grown by 50 percent. Enough food is left over to fight hunger among free people all around the globe.
Thirty years ago, a good farm in the Midwest operated with a capital investment of $18,000. Today, nearly $100,000 is needed. In the Southwest, capital requirements rose from $4,500 to $30,000.
Farmers with inadequate resources make up one segment of rural America’s great unsolved problem of underemployment. Another is made up of families who have left the farm but have not yet found a place in the nonagricultural sector of the economy. A third consists of families displaced by the decline in the rural-based extractive industries—mining and lumbering.
The rural unemployed and underemployed are largely out of sight. Most of them are hidden in the remote valleys of Appalachia and the Ozarks, on the unpaved side roads of the South, in the once-rich timberlands of the North, on Indian reservations, and in the wornout mining communities of the West.
The results of opportunity’s decline in rural America are reflected in harsh facts:
Lack of a decent life is almost twice as prevalent in rural America as it is in urban America. Only 30 percent of our families live in rural areas, but they include 46 percent of those American families with incomes under $3,000.
Rural America has almost three times the proportion of substandard
138
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
February 4
houses found in urban areas. A fourth of all farm homes and a fifth of rural nonfarm homes are without running water. Over 14,000 rural communities of more than 100 population lack central water supplies.
Rural people lag almost 2 years behind urban residents in educational attainment. They often suffer from a low'er quality of education. Per pupil expenditures for elementary and secondary education in rural school districts are substantially below expenditures in urban districts.
Rural communities lag in health facilities. Rural children receive one-third less medical attention than urban children. Their mortality rate is far higher.
These deficiencies feed on one another. They leave too few resources to support education, health, and other public services essential to development of the talent, skills, and earning power of the people.
PARITY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR RURAL AMERICA
These facts require a national policy for rural America with parity of opportunity as its goal.
There has been a steady migration from our countryside. In the 1950’s more than half of America’s rural counties suffered a population loss. But farmers who are handicapped by pool* health, age, or lack of skill in any occupation outside of farming and who leave their home communities for want of opportunity often create new problems—for themselves, for the communities they leave, and for the cities which receive them.
When people move away from rural areas, the area suffers. Migration leaves vacant stores, abandoned churches, empty schoolrooms, declining tax bases, and a declining ability to support a minimum level of public service.
This is what we need to have parity of opportunity for rural Americans:
National economic prosperity to increase their employment opportunities;
Full access to education, training, and health services to expand their earning power; and
Economic development of smaller and medium-sized communities to insure a healthy economic base for rural America.
When the rural citizen, his community, business, and government cooperate, the chances for a better rural life increase. Local leadership and initiative are necessary if rural development is to keep pace with the needs of the people. But government can and should provide information as well as the technical and financial assistance which will speed progress.
Many measures enacted by the Congress in recent years are assisting rural communities in building new opportunities for their citizens. Others I have recommended this year aim at these same objectives.
The Area Redevelopment Act has helped scores of small- and mediumsized communities through loans to new
industrial enterprises and loans and grants for needed public facilities. I will soon make recommendations that will urge this act be improved and made permanent.
Under the Economic Opportunity Act, communities will be carrying out programs to provide new opportunity for low-income rural families.
The Department of Agriculture has a wide range of programs to assist in rural economic development—loans for telephone systems, for recreation enterprises, for development of forest resources, for community water systems, and for rural housing. The small watershed and resources conservation and development programs add to business activity in rural areas.
The development of new job opportunities in rural areas has been considerably aided in the past by a strong program of rural electrification. The ability of rural areas to attract and support industrial activities—one of the fundamental solutions to the basic problem of our farm population—rests in very large part upon the availability of electric power. We must and will continue our efforts to enable those areas that do not presently possess an adequate power supply to meet their growing demands and insure that the benefits of industrial diversification are available in rural areas.
Many other activities of the Government are assisting businessmen and farmers to revive dying economies and raise the level of public services in rural areas. These include aid for community facilities, employment services, health and education programs, small business loans, job training, and development of outdoor recreation.
Yet gaps remain between the levels of living in rural America and those of urban America; in income, in education, in housing, in health and sanitation facilities. Parity of opportunity remains a distant hope for many. It is a challenge we must meet head on.
REACHING OUT TO RURAL AREAS
In my earlier messages to the Congress, particularly those on education and health, I have proposed measures to assist those areas of our country and those families most in need, both urban and rural.
It is not easy to equitably distribute Federal assistance to a scattered rural population. Rural communities often lack the specialized organizations found in major cities which keep informed of development programs and initiate action to make use of them. Special measures must be taken both by the States, and by Federal agencies to reach rural people, particularly in remote areas.
Since it is clear that an administrative office for each Federal agency or program cannot and should not be established in every county, a method must be developed to extend the reach of those Federal agencies and programs which should, but do not now, effectively serve rural areas.
Accordingly, I have asked—
1.	Each Department and agency administering a program which can benefit rural people to assure that its benefits are distributed equitably between urban and rural areas.
2.	The Secretary of Agriculture and the Director of the Budget to review carefully with the head of each department or agency involved, the administrative obstacles which may stand in the way of such equitable distribution. They should propose administrative or legislative steps which can be taken to assure that equity is attained to assure full participation by rural areas.
3.	The Secretary of Agriculture to put the facilities of his field offices at the disposal of all Federal agencies to assist them in making their programs effective in rural areas. The Secretary is creating within the Department of Agriculture a Rural Community Development Service, which will have no operating programs of its own but will devote its energies to assisting other agencies in extending their services. I have requested funds in the 1966 budget to finance this service and to strengthen the capacity of the Cooperative Federal-State Extension Service to assist rural communities in forming strong and active development organizations. In the meantime, I recommend that the Congress—
1.	Enact legislation to equalize the availability of home mortgage credit in rural areas. This can be done by supplementing the mortgage insurance programs of the Federal Housing Administration with a rural mortgage insurance program to be administered by the Department of Agriculture. The Department has administered a direct housing loan program since 1949. But an insurance program will enable the Government to assist effectively a far greater volume of home building with a minimum of budget costs. The Federal Housing Administration has initiated action to extend the effectiveness of its insurance programs in areas where private lenders do not now fully utilize its services.
2.	Increase the annual limit upon the Department of Agriculture’s existing loan insurance program, which insures not only farmownership loans but loans for community water systems and recreation development.
We have the opportunity now to provide the means by which people in rural towns and on inadequate farms can join the march toward a better life. We must seize this opportunity.
PARITY OF INCOME FOR AMERICAN AGRICULTURE
The commodity programs which were initiated 30 years ago in the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt have helped to create a commercially successful agriculture. I propose that these commodity programs be continued and improved.
Over the past 4 years our commodity programs have raised and sustained net farm income at an annual level nearly $1 billion above 1960. Few activities so dramatically indicate the value to
1965

farmers of good programs well administered. Yet the consumer is the major beneficiary of farm progress. While retail food prices have risen in recent years, the prices of what the farmer sells have actually declined 15 percent since 1947-49.
Our agricultural abundance has also made possible the food stamp, school lunch, surplus food distribution, and special milk programs. These projects are essential to our needy people and to our schoolchildren.
The skill of our family farmers is not an accident. It is the product of a century of public policy aimed at improvement of our agriculture.
Research and education, credit and conservation, and price stabilization have all served us well. They have benefited all Americans, though they were designed as programs for farmers.
Progress is never free of problems. Agricultural progress has made price and income support programs increasingly necessary and increasingly difficult.
The basic need for farm programs arises from the farmer’s economic isolation and his enormous capacity to produce. We have today at least 50 million acres more cropland than is required to produce all of the food and fiber that we can consume plus all we can export. Without programs to guide production, new crop surpluses would be inevitable. Even relatively small surplus can depress prices below cost of production levels.
Independent studies by university economists are unanimous in their basic conclusion: the removal of price and income supports would have a catastrophic effect upon farm income.
For three decades we have had programs which, by one means or another, have sought to achieve a balance between supply and demand. Born in the emergency of the 1930’s, they have countered the income-depressing potential of the revolution in agricultural production.
Our farm programs must always be adapted to the requirements of the future. Today they should be focused more precisely on the opportunity for parity of income for America’s family farmers and lower Government costs. But we must recognize that farm programs will be necessary as long as advance in agricultural technology continues to outpace the growth of population at home and markets abroad.
We need to change much of our thinking on farm policy. Just as we do in other segments of our economy, we need to separate the social problems of rural America from the economic problems of commercial agriculture. We need to be concerned about both, but the answers to each may be different.
Our programs should—
provide efficient family farmers an opportunity to earn parity of income;
assist those small farmers who have little chance to enlarge their operations but whose age, physical handicap, or lack of education, prevent their shifting to other employment; and
assist those farm families who seek to enlarge their productive resources
in order to obtain a decent living and have the opportunity and capacity to do so.
We must also continue to tie domestic farm policies to our international trade objectives by pricing our products for export at competitive world levels and by relating our production to the longer term demands of world markets.
Our objective must be for the farmer to get improved income out of the marketplace, with less cost to the Government.
To do this, I am asking the Secretary of Agriculture to so utilize the Commodity Credit Corporation as to make the free market system work more effectively for the farmer. We must encourage the private segment of our economy to carry its own inventories, bought from farmers, rather than depending on the Government as a source of supply. We must urge the private sector to perform as many services as possible now performed by Government agencies.
Price support and production adjustment programs
I recommend to the Congress that the programs now in effect for our major commodities be continued and improved.
These programs can continue to serve oui’ objectives of increased freedom of operation, a steady improvement of incomes, a greater reliance on market forces, and lower Government costs.
Building on present programs, I recommend the following legislation:
Wheat and feed grain: Voluntary feed grain and wheat programs should be extended. Specific recommendations will be transmitted to the Congress which will permit the operation of these programs to be simplified and make it possible for additional crops—particularly soybeans—to be grown as needed on acreage diverted from grains.
Authority should be continued for the Secretary of Agriculture to set price-support levels and to adjust other program features as conditions may require.
Cotton: The cotton program of 1964 should also be extended and improved. It is essential that cotton be competitive with other fibers and in world markets. At the same time we must adopt measures to reduce the cost of this program and the level of stocks. Specific amendments to current legislation will be suggested to accomplish these objectives.
Tobacco: The tobacco program must also be reappraised this year. Yield increases, higher Government costs, deterioration in quality, and loss of foreign markets have weakened what has been a highly successful program.
Legislation is needed to authorize production and marketing limits on an acreage-poundage basis. Consideration should also be given to revisions in our programs which will make American tobacco more competitive in world markets.
Rice: Consideration should be given to amending the price support program for rice to support market prices at competitive world levels, and to provide additional supports for producer incomes from the proceeds of marketing certificates.
Wool: The Wool Act, which expires early next year, is operating successfully to help stabilize wool production and bolster producer income. I recommend that it be extended with minor amendments which will be transmitted to the Congress.
Livestock: The sale of meat animals amounts to nearly one-third of all farm income. The stability of this vital phase of our farm economy is based on the continued stability in our feed supply.
We will continue to cooperate with livestock farmers and ranchers so as to maintain a fair price in the marketplace. We will help them to build markets here and abroad, and to preserve fair competition in the marketing of livestock and livestock products, and continue our present measures which will prevent an undue increase in imports.
Other commodities: Continuing study is being given to programs and needs for other agricultural commodities and appropriate changes and recommendations will be made as circumstances may require.
Transfer of acreage allotments
I recommend that acreage allotments and bases under the several production adjustment programs be made transferable by lease or sale to family farmers in the same State.
This will permit some small farmers to expand their acreage. Others who no longer wish to farm can add to their incomes by leasing or selling their allotments.
Long-range cropland adjustment program
The annual acreage diversion and acreage allotment programs now in effect should be supplemented by a long-term cropland adjustment program.
I recommend to the Congress a program which will reduce the cost of our production adjustment efforts, assist landowners in turning their land to non-agricultural uses such as recreation and to forestry, and assist small farmers who want to do other work while remaining in their communities. The proportion of land which could be covered by this program in any area should be limited to protect our communities.
Agriculture’s excess production capacity is a longrun problem. A long-term land use program can achieve a large part of the needed adjustment more effectively and with greater benefits than annual diversion programs.
This program will reduce the annual cost of other programs by more than its own cost. It will provide enduring benefits not realized under present programs.
The purposes of the cropland adjustment program will be served if much of the lahd is permanently removed from production. Every reason exists, therefore, for applying a contribution from this program to the cost of public purchases of cropland for recreation, for enhancement of natural beauty, for prevention of air and water pollution, or for open space purposes.
I recommend that the authorizing legislation permit funds appropriated for cropland adjustment to be used to aug

ment moneys raised by States and local governments and those which are provided by the Federal Government through the land and water conservation fund and other programs for public land acquisition.
It is time to consider our requirements for agricultural commodities in a reserve for national security, for emergency relief purposes, and for domestic economic stabilization.
The President should be authorized to determine the levels of commodity stocks required and to take actions to insulate these stocks from the market so that they might be preserved for time of emergencies.
The costs incurred in maintaining that part of our commodity stocks designated as reserves should be separated from the cost of farm price and income support programs. The Commodity Credit Corporation would continue to manage the stocks in conjunction with price-support operations.
Agricultural trade
The welfare of American agriculture is closely linked to foreign trade. Our 1968 goal of $6 billion farm product exports was reached in 1964. American farmers last year accounted for onefourth of U.S. merchandise exports.
These exports have strengthened farm prices, brought additional business income, reduced our surpluses and storage costs, and have helped our international balance of payments. Abroad, they have contributed to political stability and economic progress.
We are not content with the gains we have made in world markets. We expect to make additional gains by improving the means by which we can be competitive in price, in quality, in service to our customers. We will merchandise our products actively, but with full regard to rules of commercial conduct between friendly nations.
In the trade negotiations underway in Geneva, we shall make every effort to achieve liberalization in agricultural as well as industrial products.
World progress and peace
The food for peace program is good international policy and it is sound economic policy. Food is a powerful weapon for peace. People who are hungry are weak allies of freedom. Men with empty stomachs do not reason together.
We broadened the food for peace program last year and are continuing to study ways to broaden it further. Food shipments under this program help to expand it by building food habits which increase the demands for U.S. products. As the economies of recipient countries are strengthened through American aid, we are able to shift from outright grants of food to concessional sales for foreign currencies and later to sales for dollars.
Foreign currencies accruing from the sales of commodities under the food-for-peace program have also provided funds for a worldwide market development program, which has played a significant role in bringing about the dramatic increases in commercial farm exports.
This same program has also strengthened growing economies, contributed to rising standards of living, promoted international stability, and literally saved lives in many less-developed countries. Our agricultural resources are thus making a significant contribution to the prospects for peace in the world.
These contributions must continue. They will be increasingly directed toward assisting agricultural development in less-developed, densely populated countries, thus fostering overall economic growth, higher living standards and better nutrition. The disturbing downward trends in food output per person in both Asia and Latin America in recent years must be reversed. And these trends can be arrested and reversed only by a massive mobilization of resources in both the food-deficit countries and the advanced countires of the industrial West.
As I pointed out in my message on foreign aid, we must use both our agricultural abundance and our technical skills in agriculture to assist the developing nations to stand on their own feet. Under our assistance programs we will make full use of the agricultural knowhow in the Department of Agriculture and in the land-grant colleges and State universities. We will enlist the support and cooperation of private agencies and enterprises of all kinds.
To make this food aid most effective, we plan to gear our food-for-peace programs more specifically to the needs of recipient countries and their economic development programs. We may need more flexibility to assure proper nutritional balance in these programs, particularly as they relate to child feeding.
I am asking the Secretary of Agriculture and others concerned to study and recommend changes in agricultural policy that may be needed to accomplish these goals.
Commission on U.S. Food and Fiber Policy
All Americans have shared in the fruits of an efficient agriculture. All Americans share also the problems we face in the farm economy and in rural America in the years ahead.
Accordingly to assist in adapting our farm programs to the needs of tomorrow, and in making rural America, a full partner in our national economic progress, I intend to conduct a fundamental examination of the entire agriculture policy of the United States. I will reorganize the National Agricultural Advisory Commission—which has made an invaluable contribution in years past— into a new Commission on Food and Fiber. It will be broadly representative of rural communities, consumers, producers, industry, Government, and the public. I expect it to make a detailed study of our food and fiber policies and to bring additional viewpoints to bear on the place of rural America.
There are other parts of our agriculture which merit the suport of Congress and the attention of all Americans. Conservation of agricultural land is mak
ing a contribution to the beauty and the development of our Nation. It can help even more as we attack pollution of our streams and the defacement of our landscape. Research and education must continue to speed our progress in agriculture, to insure the protection of consumers, and to make full opportunity more than a distant hope.
We must win the battle for a better diet. At the same time we must increase the demand for farm products. If the income of all low-income families were brought up to the $3,000 annual level, per capita consumption of all food would rise by 2 percent. Meat consumption among these low-income families would rise by 15 to 20 percent, poultry by 10 to 15 percent, milk products by about 7 percent, and fresh fruits and vegetables by 15 to 20 percent.
The Congress has repeatedly enacted legislation to encourage farmers to improve their economic position through cooperatives. This encouragement and assistance will be carried out, in terms of both the letter and the spirit of the law.
The task of achieving a life of quality and dignity in rural as well as in urban America is one that will engage our minds and hearts and our energies for a lifetime.
We begin with the conviction that this is a goal which is right. We go forward with the knowledge that the unparalleled harvest of today’s rural America has been achieved because our ancestors said this too was a reasonable goal.
The path we follow may be long. But I am as certain of eventual success as was President Abraham Lincoln when he founded the Department of Agriculture a century ago and thus started us on the path to abundance.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

AMENDING GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION ACT
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Government Operations:
The White House, February 3,1965.
Dear Mr. President: In my recent budget message I stated that “I will ask that permanent reorganization authority be granted to the President to initiate improvements in Government organization, subject to the disapproval of the Congress.”
Accordingly, there is forwarded herewith a draft of legislation “to further amend section 5 of the Reorganization Act of 1949.” The bill would eliminate the expiration date for the authority to transmit reorganization plans to the Congress under the act.
Under section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, the President has a duty to “examine and from time to time re
examine the organization of all agencies of the Government and * * * determine what changes therein are necessary * * *_» This responsibility under the statute is permanent. However, the authority to transmit reorganization plans to effect changes in the Government’s structure has been limited to specified periods. The Congress has periodically extended that authority and last year renewed it until June 1, 1965.
With only a few lapses since 1932, authority generally similar to that conferred by the present Reorganization Act has been available to the Presidents then in office. The usefulness of the authority to transmit reorganization plans to the Congress and the continuing need for such authority to carry out fully the purposes of the Reorganization Act have been clearly demonstrated. The time has now come, therefore, to eliminate any expiration date with respect to that authority; the authority should be made commensurate with the responsibility of the President under the same statute.
From this authority will come benefits for the people whose Government this is.
The people expect and deserve a government that is lean and fit, organized to take up new challenges and able to surmount them. Reorganization can mean a streamlined leadership ready to do more in less time for the best interests of all the people.
Reorganization authority is not a whim or a fancy. It is the modern approach to the hard, sticky problems of the present and the future. Government has a responsibility to its citizens to administer their business with dispatch, enthusiasm, and effectiveness.
The Congress itself recognizes these ideals and has many times approved the ideas and hopes of this request. It is in that spirit of the Congress I respectfully urge the Congress to an early and favorable consideration of the proposed legislation.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

NATURAL BEAUTY OF OUR COUNTRY
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Harris in the chair) laid before the Sen
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
149
ate the following message from the President of the United States:
To the Congress of the United States:
For centuries Americans have drawn strength and inspiration from the beauty of our country. It would be a neglectful generation indeed, indifferent alike to the judgment of history and the command of principle, which failed to preserve and extend such a heritage for its descendants.
Yet the storm of modern change is threatening to blight and diminish in a few decades what has been cherished and protected for generations.
A growing population is swallowing up areas of natural beauty with its demands for living space, and is placing increased demand on our overburdened areas of recreation and pleasure.
The increasing tempo of urbanization and growth is already depriving many Americans of the right to live in decent surroundings. More of our people are crowding into cities and being cut off from nature. Cities themselves reach out into the countryside, destroying streams and trees and meadows as they go. A modern highway may wipe out the equivalent of a 50-acre park with every mile. And people move out from the city to get closer to nature only to find that nature has moved farther from them.
The modern technology which has added much to our lives can also have a darker side. Its uncontrolled waste products are menacing the world we live in, oui’ enjoyment and our health. The air we breathe, our water, our soil and wildlife, are being blighted by the poisons and chemicals which are the byproducts of technology and industry. The skeletons of discarded cars litter the countryside. The same society which receives the rewards of technology, must, as a cooperating whole, take responsibility for control.
To deal with these new problems will require a new conservation. We must not only protect the countryside and save it from destruction, we must restore what has been destroyed and salvage the beauty and charm of our cities. Our conservation must be not just the classic conservation of protection and development, but a creative conservation of restoration and innovation. Its concern is not with nature alone, but with the total relation between man and the world around him. Its object is not just man’s welfare, but the dignity of man’s spirit.
In this conservation the protection and enhancement of man’s opportunity to be in contact with beauty must play a major role.
This means that beauty must not be just a holiday treat, but a part of our daily life. It means not just easy physical access, but equal social access for rich and poor, Negro and white, city dweller and farmer.
Beauty is not an easy thing to measure. It does not show up in the gross national product, in a weekly paycheck, or in profit and loss statements. But these things are not ends in themselves. They are a road to satisfaction and pleasure and the good life. Beauty makes its own direct
contribution to these final ends. Therefore it is one of the most important components of our true national income, not to be left out simply because statisticians cannot calculate its worth.
And some things we do know. Association with beauty can enlarge man’s imagination and revive his spirit. Ugliness can demean the people who live among it. What a citizen sees every day is his America. If it is attractive it adds to the quality of his life. If it is ugly it can degrade his existence.
Beauty has other immediate values. It adds to safety whether removing direct dangers to health or making highways less monotonous and dangerous. We also know that those who live in blighted and squalid conditions are more susceptible to anxieties and mental disease.
Ugliness is costly. It can be expensive to clean a soot-smeared building, or to build new areas of recreation when the old landscape could have been preserved far more cheaply.
Certainly no one would hazard a national definition of beauty. But we do know that nature is nearly always beautiful. We do, for the most part, know what is ugly. And we can introduce, into all our planning, our programs, our building, and our growth, a conscious and active concern for the values of beauty. If we do this then we can be successful in preserving a beautiful America.
There is much the Federal Government can do, through a range of specific programs, and as a force for public education. But a beautiful American will require the effort of government at every level of business, and of private groups. Above all it will require the concern and action of individual citizens, alert to danger, determined to improve the quality of their surroundings, resisting blight, demanding and building beauty for themselves and their children.
I am hopeful that we can summon such a national effort. For we have not chosen to have an ugly America. We have been careless, and often neglectful. But now that the danger is clear and the hour is late this people can place themselves in the path of a tide of blight which is often irreversible and always destructive.
The Congress and the executive branch have each produced conservation giants in the past. During the 88th Congress it was legislative-executive teamwork, that brought progress. It is this same kind of partnership that will insure our continued progress.
In that spirit as a beginning and stimulus I make the following proposals:
THE CITIES
Thomas Jefferson wrote that communities “should be planned with an eye to the effect made upon the human spirit by being continually surrounded with a maximum of beauty.”
We have often sadly neglected this advice in the modern American city. Yet this is where most of our people live. It is where the character of our young is formed. It is where American civilization will be increasingly concentrated in years to come.
Such a challenge will not be met with a few more parks or playgrounds. It requires attention to the architecture of building, the structure of our roads, preservation of historical buildings and monuments, careful planning of new suburbs. A concern for the enhancement of beauty must infuse every aspect of the growth and development of metropolitan areas. It must be a principal responsibility of local government, supported by active and concerned citizens.
Federal assistance can be a valuable stimulus and help to such local efforts.
I have recommended a community extension program which will bring the resources of the university to focus on problems of the community just as they have long been concerned with our rural areas. Among other things, this program will help provide training and technical assistance to aid in making our communities more attractive and vital. In addition, under the Housing Act of 1964, grants will be made to States for training of local governmental employees needed for community development. I am recommending a 1965 supplemental appropriation to implement this program.
We now have two programs which can be of special help in creating areas of recreation and beauty for our metropolitan area population: the open space land program and the land and water conservation fund.
I have already proposed full funding of the land and water conservation fund, and directed the Secretary of the Interior to give priority attention to serving the needs of our growing urban population.
The primary purpose of the open space program has been to help acquire and assure open spaces in urban areas. I propose a series of new matching grants for improving the natural beauty of urban open space.
The open space program should be adequately financed, and broadened by permitting grants to be made to help city governments asquire and clear areas to create small parks, squares, pedestrian malls, and playgrounds.
In addition I will request authority in this program for a matching program to cities for landscaping, installation of outdoor lights and benches, creating attractive cityscapes along roads and in business areas, and for other beautification purposes.
Our city parks have not, in many cases, realized their full potential as sources of pleasure and play. I recommend on a matching basis a series of Federal demonstration projects in city parks to use the best thought and action to show how the appearance of these parks can better serve the people of our towns and metropolitan areas.
All of these programs should be operated on the same matching formula to avoid unnecessary competition among programs and increase the possibility of cooperative effort. I will propose such a standard formula.
In a future message on the cities I will recommend other changes in our housing programs designed to strengthen the
150

sense of community of which natural beauty is an important component.
In almost every part of the country citizens are rallying to save landmarks of beauty and history. The Government must also do its share to assist these local efforts which have an important national purpose. We will encourage and support the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, chartered by Congress in 1949. I shall propose legislation to authorize supplementary grants to help local authorities acquire, develop, and manage private properties for such purposes.
The Registry of National Historic Landmarks is a fine Federal program with virtually no Federal cost. I commend its work and the new wave of interest it has evoked in historical preservation.
THE COUNTRYSIDE
Oui* present system of parks, seashores, and recreation areas—monuments to the dedication and labor of farsighted men— do not meet the needs of a growing population.
The full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund will be an important step in making this a Parks-for-America decade.
I propose to use this fund to acquire lands needed to establish—
Assateague Island National Seashore, Md.-Va.
Tocks Island National Recreation Area, N.J.-Pa.
Cape Lookout National Seashore, N.C.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Mich.
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Ind.
Oregon Dunes National Seashore, Oreg.
Great Basin National Park, Nev.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Tex.
Spruce Knob, Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, W. Va.
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Mont.-Wyo.
Flaming Gorge National Recreation, Utah-Wyo.
Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, Calif.
In addition, I have requested the Secretary of the Interior, working with interested groups, to conduct a study on the desirability of establishing a Redwood National Park in California.
I will also recommend that we add prime outdoor recreation areas to our national forest system, particularly in the populous East; and proceed on schedule with studies required to define and enlarge the Wilderness System established by the 88th Congress. We will also continue progress on our refuge system for migratory waterfowl.
Faulty strip and surface mining practices have left ugly scars which mar the beauty of the landscape in many of our States. I urge your strong support of the nationwide strip and surface mining study provided by the Appalachian regional legislation, which will furnish the factual basis for a fair and reasonable approach to the correction of these past errors.
I am asking the Secretary of Agriculture to work with State and local organizations in developing a cooperative program for improving the beauty of the privately owned rural lands which comprise three-fourths of the Nation’s area. Much can be done within existing Department of Agriculture programs without adding to cost.
The 28 million acres of land presently held and used by our armed services is an important part of our public estate. Many thousands of these acres will soon become surplus to military needs. Much of this land has great potential for outdoor recreation, wildlife, and conservation uses consistent with military requirements. This potential must be realized through the fullest application of multiple-use principles. To this end I have directed the Secretaries of Defense and Interior to conduct a “conservation inventory” of all surplus lands.
HIGHWAYS
More than any country ours is an automobile society. For most Americans the automobile is a principal instrument of transportation, work, daily activity, recreation, and pleasure. By making our roads highways to the enjoyment of nature and beauty we can greatly enrich the life of nearly all our people in city and countryside alike.
Our task is twofold. First, to insure that roads themselves are not destructive of nature and natural beauty. Second, to make our roads ways to recreation and pleasure.
I have asked the Secretary of Commerce to take a series of steps designed to meet this objective. This includes requiring landscaping on all Federal interstate primary and urban highways, encouraging the construction of rest and recreation areas along highways, and the preservation of natural beauty adjacent to highway rights-of-way.
Our present highway law permits the use of up to 3 percent of all Federal-aid funds to be used without matching for the preservation of natural beauty. This authority has not been used for the purpose intended by Congress. I will take steps, including recommended legislation if necessary, to make sure these funds are, in fact, used to enhance beauty along our highway system. This will dedicate substantial resources to this purpose.
I will also recommend that a portion of the funds now used for secondary roads be set aside in order to provide access to areas of rest and recreation and scenic beauty along our Nation’s roads, and for rerouting or construction of highways for scenic or parkway purposes.
The Recreation Advisory Council is now completing a study of the role which scenic roads and parkways should play in meeting our highway and recreation needs. After receiving the report, I will make appropriate recommendations.
The authority for the existing program of outdoor advertising control expires on June 30, 1965, and its provisions have not been effective in achieving the desired goal. Accordingly, I will recom
mend legislation to insure effective control of billboards along our highways.
In addition, we need urgently to work toward the elimination or screening of unsightly, beauty-destroying junkyards and auto graveyards along our highways. To this end, I will also recommend necessary legislation to achieve effective control, including Federal assistance in appropriate cases where necessary.
I hope that, at all levels of government, our planners and builders will remember that highway beautification is more than a matter of planting trees or setting aside scenic areas. The roads themselves must reflect, in location and design, increased respect for the natural and social integrity and unity of the landscape and communities through which they pass.
RIVERS
Those who first settled this continent found much to marvel at. Nothing was a greater source of wonder and amazement than the power and majesty of American rivers. They occupy a central place in myth and legend, folklore and literature.
They were our first highways, and some remain among the most important. We have had to control then* ravages, harness their power, and use their water to help make whole regions prosper.
Yet even this seemingly indestructible natural resource is in danger.
Through our pollution control programs we can do much to restore our rivers. We will continue to conserve the water and power for tomorrow’s needs with well-planned reservoirs and power dams. But the time has also come to identify and preserve free-flowing stretches of our great scenic rivers before growth and development make the beauty of the unspoiled waterway a memory.
To this end I will shortly send to Congress a bill to establish a national wild rivers system.
THE POTOMAC
The river rich in history and memory which flows by our Nation’s Capital should serve as a model of scenic and recreation values for the entire country. To meet this objective I am asking the Secretary of the Interior to review the Potomac River Basin development plan now under review by the Chief of Army Engineers, and to work with the affected States and local governments, the District of Columbia, and interested Federal agencies to prepare a program for my consideration.
A program must be devised which will—■
(a)	Clean up the river and keep it clean, so it can be used for boating, swimming, and fishing;
(b)	Protect its natural beauties by the acquisition of scenic easements, zoning, or other measures;
(c)	Provide adequate recreational facilities; and
(d)	Complete the presently authorized George Washington Memorial Parkway on both banks.
I hope action here will stimulate and inspire similar efforts by State and local
1965

governments on other urban rivers and waterfronts, such as the Hudson in New York. They are potentially the greatest single source of pleasure for those who live in most of our metropolitan areas.
TRAILS
The forgotten outdoorsmen of today are those who like to walk, hike, ride horseback, or bicycle. For them we must have trails as well as highways. Nor should motor vehicles be permitted to tyrannize the more leisurely human traffic.
Old and young alike can participate. Our doctors recommend and encourage such activity for fitness and fun.
I am requesting, therefore, that the Secretary of the Interior work with his colleagues in the Federal Government and with State and local leaders and recommend to me a cooperative program to encourage a national system of trails, building up the more than hundred thouand miles of trails in our national forests and parks.
There are many new and exciting trail projects underway across the land. In Arizona, a county has arranged for miles of irrigation canal banks to be used by riders and hikers. In Illinois, an abandoned railroad right-of-way is being developed as a “Prairie Path.” In Mexico utility rights-of-way are used as public trails.
As with so much of our quest for beauty and quality, each community has opportunities for action. We can and should have an abundance of trails for walking, cycling, and horseback riding, in and close to our cities. In the back country we need to copy the great Appalachian Trail in all parts of America, and to make full use of rights-of-way and other public paths.
POLLUTION
One aspect of the advance of civilization is the evolution of responsiblity for disposal of waste. Over many generations society gradually developed techniques for this purpose. State and local governments, landlords and private citizens have been held responsible for insuring that sewage and garbage did not menace health or contaminate the environment.
In the last few decades entire new categories of waste have come to plague and menace the American scene. These are the technological wastes—the byproducts of growth, industry, agriculture, and science. We cannot wait for slow evolution over generations to deal with them.
Pollution is growing at a rapid rate. Some pollutants are known to be harmful to health, while the effect of others is uncertain and unknown. In some cases we can control pollution with a larger effort. For other forms of pollution we still do not have effective means of control.
Pollution destroys beauty and menaces health. It cuts down on efficiency, reduces property values, and raises taxes.
The longer we wait to act, the greater the dangers and the larger the problem.
Large-scale pollution of air and waterways is no respecter of political boundaries, and its effects extend far beyond those who cause it.
Air pollution is no longer confined to isolated places. This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through radioactive materials and a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. Entire regional airsheds, crop plant environments, and river basins are heavy with noxious materials. Motor vehicles and home heating plants, municipal dumps, and factories continually hurl pollutants into the air we breathe. Each day almost 50,000 tons of unpleasant, and sometimes poisonous, sulfur dioxide are added to the atmosphere, and our automobiles produce almost 300,000 tons of other pollutants.
In Donora, Pa., in 1948, and New York City in 1953, serious illness and some deaths were produced by sharp increases in air pollution. In New Orleans, epidemic outbreaks of asthmatic attacks are asscoiated with air pollutants. Three-fourths of the 8 million people in the Los Angeles area are annoyed by severe eye irritation much of the year. And our health authorities are increasingly concerned with the damaging effects of the continual breathing of polluted air by all our people in every city in the country.
In addition to its health effects, air pollution creates filth and gloom and depreciates property values of entire neighborhoods. The White House itself is being dirtied with soot from polluted air.
Every major river system is now polluted. Waterways that were once sources of pleasure and beauty and recreation are forbidden to human contact and objectionable to sight and smell. Furthermore, this pollution is costly, requiring expensive treatment for drinking water and inhibiting the operation and growth of industry.
In spite of the efforts and many accomplishments of the past, water pollution is spreading. And new kinds of problems are being added to the old:
Waterborne viruses, particularly hepatitis, are replacing typhoid fever as a significant health hazard.
Mass deaths of fish have occurred in rivers overburdened with wastes.
Some of our rivers contain chemicals which, in concentrated form, produce abnormalities in animals.
Last summer 2,600 square miles of Lake Erie—over a quarter of the entire lake—were almost without oxygen and unable to support life because of algae and plant growths, fed by pollution from cities and farms.
In many older cities storm drains and sanitary sewers are interconnected. As a result, mixtures of storm water and sanitary waste overflow during rains and discharge directly into streams, bypassing treatment works and causing heavy pollution.
In addition to our air and water we must, each and every day, dispose of a half billion pounds of solid waste. These wastes—from discarded cans to discarded
automobiles—litter our country, harbor vermin, and menace our health. Inefficient and improper methods of disposal increase pollution of our air and streams.
Almost all these wastes and pollutions are the result of activities carried on for the benefit of man. A prime national goal must be an environment that is pleasing to the senses and healthy to live in.
Our Government is already doing much in this field. We have made significant progress. But more must be done.
Federal Government activity
I am directing the heads of all agencies to improve measures to abate pollution caused by direct agency operation, contracts and cooperative agreements. Federal procurement practices must make sure that the Government equipment uses the most effective techniques for controlling pollution. The Administrator of General Services has already taken steps to assure that motor vehicles purchased by the Federal Government meet minimum standards of exhaust quality.
Clean water
Enforcement authority must be strengthened to provide positive controls over the discharge of pollutants into our interstate or navigable waters. I recommend enactment of legislation to—
Provide, through the setting of effective water quality standards, combined with a swift and effective enforcement procedure, a national program to prevent water pollution at its source rather than attempting to cure pollution after it occurs.
Increase project grant ceilings and provide additional incentives for multimunicipal projects under the wastetreatment facilities construction program.
Increase the ceilings for grants to State water pollution control programs.
Provide a new research and demonstration construction program leading to the solution of problems caused by the mixing of storm water runoff and sanitary wastes.
The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare will undertake an intensive program to clean up the Nation’s most polluted rivers. With the cooperation of States and cities—using the tools of regulation, grant, and incentives—we can bring the most serious problem of river pollution under control. We cannot afford to do less.
We will work with Canada to develop a pollution control program for the Great Lakes and other border waters.
Through an expanded program carried on by the Departments of Health, Education, and Welfare and Interior, we will continue to seek effective and economical methods for controlling pollution from acid mine drainage.
To improve the quality of our waters will require the fullest cooperation of our State and local governments. Working together, we can and will preserve
152
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

and increase one of our most valuable national resources—clean water.
Clean air
The enactment of the Clean Air Act in December of 1963 represented a long step forward in our ability to understand and control the difficult problem of air pollution. The 1966 budget request of $24 million is almost double the amount spent on air pollution programs in the year prior to its enactment.
In addition, the Clean Air Act should be improved to permit the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to investigate potential air pollution problems before pollution happens, rather than having to wait until the damage occurs, as is now the case, and to make recommendations leading to the prevention of such pollution.
One of the principal unchecked sources of air pollution is the automobile. I intend to institute discussions with industry officials and other interested groups leading to an effective elimination or substantial reduction of pollution from liquid-fueled motor vehicles.
Solid wastes
Continuing technological progress and improvement in methods of manufacture, packaging, and marketing of consumer products has resulted in an evermounting increase of discarded material. We need to seek better solutions to the disposal of these wastes. I recommend legislation to—
Assist the States in developing comprehensive programs for some forms of solid waste disposal.
Provide for research and demonstration projects leading to more effective methods for disposing of or salvaging solid wastes.
Launch a concentrated attack on the accumulation of junk cars by increasing research in the Department of the Interior leading to use of metal from scrap cars where promising leads already exist.
Pesticides
Pesticides may affect living organisms wherever they occur.
In order that we may better understand the effects of these compounds, I have included increased funds in the budget for use by the Secretaries of Agriculture, Interior, and Health, Education, and Welfare to increase their research efforts on pesticides so they can give special attention to the flow of pesticides through the environment; study the means by which pesticides break down and disappear in nature; and to keep a constant check on the level of pesticides in our water, air, soil, and food supply.
I am recommending additional funds for the Secretary of Agriculture to reduce contamination from toxic chemicals through intensified research, regulatory control, and educational programs.
The Secretary of Agriculture will soon submit legislation to tighten control over the manufacture and use of agricultural chemicals, including licensing and factory inspection of manufacturers, clearly placing the burden of proof of safety on
the proponent of the chemical rather than on the Government.
Research resources
Our needs for new knowledge and increasing application of existing knowledge demand a greater supply of trained manpower and research resources.
A National Center for Environmental Health Sciences is being planned as a focal point for health research in this field. In addition, the 1966 budget includes funds for the establishment of university institutes to conduct research and training in environmental pollution problems.
Legislation recommended in my message on health has been introduced to increase Federal support for specialized research facilities of a national or regional character. This proposal, aimed at health research needs generally, would assist in the solution of of environmental health problems and I urge its passage.
We need legislation to provide to the Departments of Agriculture and Interior authority for grants for research in environmental pollution control in their areas of responsibility. I have asked the Secretary of Interior to submit legislation to eliminate the ceiling on pesticide research.
Other efforts
In addition to these needed actions, other proposals are undergoing active study.
I have directed the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, with the appropriate departments to study the use of economic incentives as a technique to stimulate pollution prevention and abatement, and to recommend actions or legislation, if needed.
I have instructed the Director of the Bureau of the Budget and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology to explore the adequacy of the present organization of pollution control and research activities.
I have also asked the Director of the Office of Science and Technology and the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to recommend the best way in which the Federal Government may direct efforts toward advancing our scientific understanding of natural plant and animal communities and their interaction with man and his activities.
The actions and proposals recommended in this message will take us a long way toward immediate reversal of the increase of pollutants in our environments. They will also give us time until new basic knowledge and trained manpower provide opportunities for more dramatic gains in the future.
WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
I intend to call a White House Conference on National Beauty to meet in mid-May of this year. Its Chairman will be Mr. Laurance Rockefeller.
It is my hope that this Conference will produce new ideas and approaches for enhancing the beauty of America. Its scope will not be restricted to Federal action. It will look for ways to help and encourage State and local governments, institutions, and private citizens in their
own efforts. It can serve as a focal point for the large campaign of public education which is needed to alert Americans to the danger to their natural heritage and to the need for action.
In addition to other subjects which this Conference will consider, I recommend the following subjects for discussion in depth:
Automobile junkyards: I am convinced that analysis of the technology and economics can help produce a creative solution to this vexing problem. The Bureau of Mines of the Interior Department can contribute technical advice to the Conference, as can the scrap industry and the steel industry.
Underground installation of utility transmission lines: Further research is badly needed to enable us to cope with this problem.
The greatest single force that shapes the American landscape is private economic development. Our taxation policies should not penalize or discourage conservation and the preservation of beauty.
Ways in which the Federal Government can, through information and technical assistance, help communities and States in their own programs of natural beauty.
The possibilities of a national treeplanting program carried on by government at every level, and private groups and citizens.
CONCLUSION
In my 33 years of public life I have seen the American system move to conserve the natural and human resources of our land.
TVA transformed an entire region that was “depressed.” The rural electrification cooperatives brought electricity to lighten the burdens of rural America. We have seen the forests replanted by the CCC’s, and watched Gifford Pinchot’s sustained-yield concept take hold on forest lands.
It is true that we have often been careless with our natural bounty. At times we have paid a heavy price for this neglect. But once our people were aroused to the danger, we have acted to preserve our resources for the enrichment of our country and the enjoyment of future generations.
The beauty of our land is a natural resource. Its preservation is linked to the inner prosperity of the human spirit.
The tradition of our past is equal to today’s threat to that beauty. Our land will be attractive tomorrow only if we organize for action and rebuild and reclaim the beauty we inherited. Our stewardship will be judged by the foresight with which we carry out these programs. We must rescue our cities and countryside from blight with the same purpose and vigor with which, in other areas, we moved to save the forests and the soil.

NATIONAL WILDERNESS PRESERVATION
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Harris in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
To the Congress of the United States:
The wonder of Nature is the treasure of America.
What we have in woods and forest, valley and stream, in the gorges and the mountains and the hills, we must not destroy. The precious legacy of preservation of beauty will be our gift to posterity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said a long time ago that “in the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods we return to reason and faith.”
Emerson would have been cheered and comforted by the establishment of a national wilderness preservation system. On September 3, 1964, when I signed that law it brought into being the preservation for our time and for all time to come 9 million acres of this vast continent in their original and unchanging beauty and wonder.
The new law designated 54 national forest areas—9.1 million acres—as units of the national wilderness preservation system, with special provisions for certain restricted commercial uses for a limited period. Included were all the wilderness, wild, and canoe areas previously established by the Department of Agriculture.
Thirty-four national forest primitive areas—5.5 million acres—will be reviewed over a 10-year period for possible addition to the system. Also to be reviewed are all roadless areas of 5,000 acres or more in the national park system, as well as all such areas and roadless islands, regardless of size, in the national wildlife refuge and game ranges. None of the areas to be reviewed may be added to the system except as provided for by subsequent acts of Congress.
Only in our country have such positive measures been taken to preserve the wilderness adequately for its scenic and spiritual wealth. In the new conservation of this century, our concern is with the total relation between man and the world around him. Its object is not only man’s material welfare but the dignity of man himself.
The Congress can justly be proud of the contribution of foresight and prudent planning expressed by this measure to perpetuate our rare and rich natural heritage. Generations of Americans to come will enjoy a finer and more meaningful life because of these actions taken in these times.
It is now my privilege to send to the Congress today a report which, in ac
cordance with the terms of the act last year, details the beginnings of our progress on a long road of “reason and faith.”
I am confident that it is a road worth the travel and a journey we shall be proud to have pioneered.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

INTERNATIONAL BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kennedy of New York in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Finance:
To the Congress of the United States:
After a full review of our international balance of payments and our gold position, I can report to the Congress that the state of the dollar in the world today is strong—far stronger than 3 or 4 years ago. To assure its continued and growing strength, however, we need to take new steps to speed our progress toward balance in our external payments.
The strength of our dollar is backed by —
The world’s most productive and efficient economy, moving each year to new heights of output, employment, and income without inflation;
The world’s largest supply of gold, fully pledged to honor this country’s dollar obligations;
The world’s strongest creditor position, based on $88 billion of public and private claims against foreigners, $37 billion greater than their claims against us; counting our private assets
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE	161
1965
only, the margin is about $15 billion, and steadily growing;
The world’s most favorable trade position, based on a rise in our exports by more than one-fourth in 4 years— a rise which has brought our commercial exports (excluding exports financed by the Government) to $22.2 billion and our commercial trade surplus to $3.6 billion.
Clearly, those who fear for the dollar are needlessly afraid. Those who hope for its weakness, hope in vain. A country which exports far more than it imports and whose net asset position abroad is great and growing is not “living beyond its means.” The dollar is, and will remain, as good as gold, freely convertible at $35 an ounce.
That pledge is backed by our firm determination to bring an end to our balance-of-payments deficit.
Last year, our flows of dollars abroad— to pay for our imports and foreign travel, to finance our loans and investments abroad, and to meet our defense and aid obligations—still exceeded our dollar credits from foreigners by $3 billion. This represents steady improvement over the $3.6 billion deficit in 1962 and the $3.3 billion deficit in 1963. But our progress is too slow.
The world willingly uses our dollars as a safe and convenient medium of international exchange. The world’s growing supply of dollars has played a vital role in the postwar growth of the free world’s commerce and finance. But we cannot— and do not—assume that the world’s willingness to hold dollars is unlimited.
On the basis of searching study of the major causes of our continued imbalance of payments, I therefore propose the following program:
First, to maintain and strengthen our checkrein on foreign use of U.S. capital markets, I ask the Congress—
To extend the interest equalization tax for 2 years beyond December 31, 1965;
To broaden its coverage to nonbank credit of 1- to 3-year maturity;
Second, to stem and reverse the swelling tide of U.S. bank loans abroad, I have used the authority available to me under the Gore amendment to the act to apply the interest equalization tax to bank loans of 1 year or more.
Third, to stop any excessive flow of funds to Canada under its special exemption from the equalization tax, I have sought and received firm assurance that the policies of the Canadian Government are and will be directed toward limiting such outflows to the maintenance of a stable level of Canada’s foreign exchange reserves.
Fourth, to limit further the outflow of bank loans, I am asking the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in cooperation with the Secretary of the Treasury to enroll the banking community in a major effort to limit their lending abroad.
Fifth, to insure the effective cooperation of the banking community, I am requesting legislation to make voluntary cooperation by American bankers in sup
port of our balance-of-payments efforts, under the Government’s auspices, exempt from the antitrust laws wherever such cooperation is essential to the national interest.
Sixth, to reduce the outflow of business capital, I am directing the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of the Treasury to enlist the leaders of American business in a national campaign to limit their direct investments abroad, their deposits in foreign banks, and their holding of foreign financial assets until their efforts—and those of all Americans—have restored balance in the country’s international accounts.
Seventh, to minimize the foreign exchange costs of our defense and aid programs, I am directing the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of AID, and othei' officials immediately to step up their efforts to cut oversea dollar costs to the bone.
Eighth, to narrow our tourist gap, I encourage our friends from abroad, as well as our own citizens, to “See the U.S.A.”; and I request legislation further to limit the duty-free exemptions of American tourists returning to the United States.
Ninth, to earn more trade dollars, I am calling for a redoubling of our efforts to promote exports.
Finally, to draw more investment from abroad, I am requesting new tax legislation to increase the incentives for foreigners to invest in U.S. corporate securities.
These measures will deal with our payments deficit and protect the dollar in ways fully consistent with our obligations—
To sustain prosperity at home;
To maintain our defenses abroad;
To supply private and public funds to less developed countries to build both their strength and their freedom;
To avoid “beggar thy neighbor” restrictions on trade and work for a successful conclusion of the Kennedy round trade negotiations;
To work with our trading partners toward a more flexible world monetary system.
These actions should achieve a substantial reduction in our international deficit during 1965, and secure still further improvement in 1966.
WHERE WE STAND TODAY
Our deficit in 1964 was too large. And over half of it occurred in the final quarter of the year—partly because of special and temporary factors.
Yet this disturbing reversal of our progress should not blind us to the solid and significant advances we have made in the past 4 years.
The broad-based attack we launched 4 years ago—and intensified 18 months ago—has in considerable part hit its mark. Tax cuts and other measures to increase output, stimulate cost-cutting investment, and hold prices steady have made U.S. products far more competitive in world markets. Combined with special export promotion efforts, these policies have—
Boosted our commercial exports by $4.7 billion, or 27 percent;
Pushed our commercial trade surplus to a new record of $3.6 billion— $800 million more than in 1960, and a gain of $1.3 billion over 1963.
Unrelenting efforts to cut the dollar drain of defense and foreign aid expenditures have, since 1960—
Reduced oversea dollar spending for aid by more than $400 million;
Reduced oversea military spending by more than $200 million (despite rising prices in the countries where our forces are stationed);
Increased military offset sales to foreign countries through the Department of Defense by $450 million, and expanded sales of military equipment to foreign governments from commercial sources.
Successful policies for expansion both here and overseas have brought a rise by nearly $2 billion in profits and interest on our past foreign investments.
But these impressive gains totaling well over $3.5 billion did not correspondingly narrow our balance-of-payments deficit. They were largely offset by a $2.5 billion rise in the level of private capital outflow since 1960—and $2 billion of this rise occurred from 1963 to 1964.
The interest equalization tax successfully diminished American purchases of foreign securities from the peak rate of 1963; but new issues exempt from the tax—especially by Canada—kept these purchases nearly $500 million above the 1960 level.
Meanwhile, our banks met foreign demands for capital by adding almost $1 billion to their long-term loans abroad in 1964—$800 million above 1960 and $400 million above 1963.
Short-term capital outflows in the form of bank credits and corporate funds rose to an estimated $2 billion, well above the 1960 and 1963 outflows even though our money-market rates were kept generally in line with those abroad.
Direct investment abroad by U.S. companies—vary largely in Canada and Europe—rose by more than $400 million above 1960 levels, and $200 million above 1963.
Moreover, travel and tourist spending abroad rose $600 million from 1960 to 1964, while foreign travel outlays in the United States rose only $200 million.
The net impact of all these changes was to reduce our overall deficit by only $900 million—from $3.9 billion in 1960 to $3 billion last year.
To be sure, we have made more progress than these raw figures suggest. More than half of our 1964 deficit was financed by increased holdings of dollars by foreign citizens and by foreign private banks and businesses. Less than half of it had to be financed by the sale of gold or of dollars to foreign governments and central banks. It is only this “official” part that other countries count as the measure of their deficits. If we measured our deficit their way, it would show in 1962, a deficit of $3.3 billion; in 1963, a
162
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
February 10
deficit of $2.3 billion; and in 1964, a deficit of only $1.3 billion.
This way of measuring our deficit does not reduce our need for further action. But it gives another, and in many ways a better measure of our progress. It gives another and perhaps more realistic measure of how far we still have to go to attain balance. And it reflects the firm confidence of private individuals the world over in the dollar.
This confidence rests on the full convertibility of our dollars into gold—at the fixed price of $35 an ounce. Our gold reserve of $15 billion represents 35 percent of the free world’s official gold reserves. To eliminate any possible doubts about its full availability I have asked the Congress to remove the outmoded gold cover requirement against Federal Reserve deposits. I am glad that the Congress is acting promptly on this recommendation.
As we move ahead to further measures to cope with our balance-of-payments problem, it is clear that we lead from strength. But to safeguard that strength, we must reinforce our programs to bring our external payments into balance and maintain full confidence in the dollar.
MEASURES TO REINFORCE OUR PROGRAMS
Capital
I propose to take further steps to restrain our outflow of capital to the advanced industrial world. I do so reluctantly. The contribution of American capital to the world’s growth and prosperity has been immense. But our balance-of-payments deficit leaves me no choice.
The interest equalization tax has effectively reduced the purchases of foreign securities by Americans since legislation was submitted to Congress in July 1963. At the same time, it has encouraged the broadening and deepening of capital markets in Europe—markets which can make a lasting contribution to the economic growth of the free world.
The tax is now scheduled to expire at the end of this year. But circumstances require that it remain in effect.
Therefore, I request the Congress to extend for 2 years the interest equalization tax on purchases by Americans of foreign securities.
Bank loans abroad with maturities over 1 year—not now covered by the tax— increased by more than one-third, or nearly $1 billion, in 1964. The bulk of this money went to other industrialized countries. Of this, only 15 percent served to finance U.S. exports.
In my judgment this outflow has reflected substitution for new security issues in an amount sufficient materially to impair the effectiveness of the interest equalization tax.
Acting, therefore, under the authority granted me by the Interest Equalization Tax Act, I have today imposed the tax on bank loans abroad with maturities of 1 year or more, with appropriate exemption for borrowers in developing countries.
If the tax did not apply to foreign credits made by nonbank lenders, it would discriminate against banks and
invite an outflow of untaxed funds through nonbanking channels.
Therefore, I request the Congress to amend the interest equalization tax to impose it on extensions of nonbank credit of 1 year or more maturity, effective as of today.
Finally, and as soon as proper authorizations are prepared, I intend to exempt from the interest equalization tax purchases by U.S. residents of new securities issued or guaranteed by the Government of Japan, up to an aggregate amount of $100 million each year. Until now, an exemption for Japan under the interest equalization tax has not proved necessary. However, the application of the tax to bank loans of over 1 year will, in my judgment, create a sufficient threat to the international monetary system to justify a limited exemption.
These measures are designed to serve our balance-of-payments objectives without imposing direct controls on American business abroad. We seek to preserve the freedom of the marketplace. But we cannot succeed without the full cooperation of the business and financial community.
I hereby call on American businessmen and bankers to enter a constructive partnership with their Government to protect and strengthen the position of the dollar in the world today. In doing so, they will perform a major service to their Nation. And they will help assure a setting of economic prosperity at home and economic stability abroad in which to conduct their own business and financial operations.
Let me make clear that the Government does not wish to impede the financing of exports, or the day-to-day operation of American business abroad. But loans and investments which are not essential must be severely curtailed.
Specifically, I ask the bankers and businessmen of America to exercise voluntary restraint in lending money or making investments abroad in the developed countries. This request applies with special force to short-term loans and direct investments; that is, the capital outflows not covered by the interest equalization tax.
In connection with bank loans, I am asking the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to work closely with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Nation’s banks to develop a program that will sharply limit the flow of bank loans abroad. I have directed the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to cooperate with the Federal Reserve and the Treasury in this undertaking.
To initiate this program, I am inviting a group of our leading bankers to meet with me, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in the near future.
Cooperation among competing banking interests could raise problems under the antitrust laws and, if extended beyond measures essential to our balance-of-payments objectives, would damage our competitive system.
Therefore, I request the Congress to grant a statutory exemption from the antitrust laws to make possible the cooperation of American banks in support of our balance-of-payments objectives. I request, also, that the legislation require that this exemption be administered in ways which will not violate the principles of free competition.
Pending enactment of this legislation, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve will guide this program of voluntary restraint along lines which raise no antitrust problems.
In connection with short-term corporate lending and direct investment in advanced countries abroad, I am asking a group of our leading businessmen to meet with me and the Secretary of Commerce for a full discussion of the voluntary methods by which we can achieve the necessary results. The Secretary of Commerce will remain in close contact with the responsible corporate officials. He will request periodic reports as the basis for appraising their contribution to our balance-of-payments targets.
I have no doubt that American bankers and businessmen will respond to the Nation’s need. With their cooperation, we can block the leakage of funds abroad, without blocking the vital flow of credit to American business.
I am confident that the Federal Reserve, in carrying out its responsibilities for monetary policy, will continue its efforts to maintain short-term rates of return in the American money market. The Treasury will fully cooperate. At the same time—and in view of the heavy flow of private savings into our capital markets—I expect the continuation of essential stability in interest rates.
Government expenditures abroad
Since 1960, we have steadily reduced the dollar drain of our foreign aid program. We have steadily raised the percentage of AID dollars spent for U.S. goods and services—85 percent of new AID commitments are now spent within our borders. Until we master our balance-of-payments problem, AID officials will send no aid dollar abroad that can be sent instead in the form of U.S. goods and services.
The same rule will apply to our defense dollars. We have already made major progress in cutting the outflow of dollars for our defenses abroad—without impairing our strength or our defense commitment to the free world. I have directed the Secretary of Defense to intensify his program—
To shift defense buying from sources abroad to sources in the United States;
To reduce the staffs in oversea headquarters;
To streamline oversea support operations;
To work with our defense partners to increase their offset purchases of military equipment in the United States.
The Department of Defense has already conserved hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign exchange by such actions. But the Secretary assures me he

can do more, while fully protecting our security interests and discharging our responsibilities.
Foreign travel
The growing interest of our citizens in foreign lands, and the steady rise in their incomes, have greatly increased American vacation travel abroad. Foreign travel should be encouraged when we can afford it, but not while our payments position remains urgent. Today, our encouragement must be directed to travel in the United States, both by our own citizens and by our friends from abroad.
I ask the tourist industry to strengthen and broaden the appeal of American vacations to foreign and domestic travelers, and I will support its efforts through the “See the U.S.A.” program.
In order to cut the dollar outflows associated with foreign travel, I recommend that the Congress—
Pass legislation to reduce the duty exemption on foreign purchases by U.S. citizens returning from abroad to $50, based on the price actually paid;
Limit the exemption to goods which accompany the returning travelers.
Foreign investment in U.S. securities
A truly worldwide market for capital among industrialized nations requires a two-way flow of investments. In order to stimulate a greater inflow of capital from advanced industrial countries, the Secretary of the Treasury will shortly request legislation, generally along the lines recommended by a Presidential task force, to remove tax deterrents to foreign investment in U.S. corporate securities. This action will encourage— and will be reinforced by—the efforts of American business and finance to market U.S. stocks and bonds to foreign investors.
Exports and competition
Finally, and most important for the long pull, American business, labor, agriculture, and government must work together to maintain stable costs and prices and strengthen our trade position in the world.
Essential to a strong competitive position is an expanding economy operating at or near capacity, yet holding costs and prices in check. Sharp reductions in income taxes—with more liberal depreciation allowances and special incentives for cost-cutting investment—have played a key role in creating such strength. Rising volume, rising productivity, and falling tax rates have enabled U.S. industry to hold the line on costs and prices while earning record profits and paying record wages.
As a result, U.S. prices and wage costs have remained more stable in recent years than those of any of our major competitors. The 27-percent rise in commercial exports since 1960—and especially the 15-percent rise in the past year—bear witness to our growing ability to compete in foreign markets. And the moderate rise in our imports demonstrates our growing ability to meet and beat foreign competition in our home markets.
But we must not take that ability for granted. Unwarranted price and wage increases could destroy it all too quickly. Unless American business and labor hew to the Government’s price-wage guideposts, we will run grave risks of losing our competitive advantage.
Wage increases which exceed economywide productivity gains and price decisions which ignore falling unit costs— and there have been recent instances of both—do us all a disservice.
I call on all Americans to do their share in maintaining our generally excellent record of wage and price moderation. They will thereby strengthen their country both at home and abroad.
On a foundation of stable costs and prices, we will build an increasingly vigorous program of export expansion:
I urge the Congress to approve the 13 million budget request for our export expansion program in the next fiscal year.
We will step up our efforts to assure American industry sound and fully competitive export financing.
We will strive to eliminate such artificial barriers to U.S. exports as discriminatory freight rates on ocean traffic.
Policies for an expanding economy coupled with responsible price and wage decisions and special measures to convert our competitive advantage into greater exports—this is the combination that holds the key to a lasting solution of our balance-of-payments problem.
EVOLUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS SYSTEM
The measures I have proposed in this message will hasten our progress toward international balance without damage to our security abroad or our prosperity at home. But our international monetary responsibilities will not end with our deficit. Healthy growth of the free world economy requires orderly but continuing expansion of the world’s monetary reserves.
During the past decade, our deficits have helped meet that need. The flow of deficit dollars into foreign central banks has made up about half of the increase in free world reserves. As we eliminate that flow, a shortage of reserves could emerge. We need to continue our work on the development of supplementary sources of reserves to head off that threat. And we need to perfect our mechanisms for making international credit available to countries suffering from balance-of-payments difficulties—on terms that will assure orderly correction of imbalances without forcing deflation on deficit countries or inflation on surplus countries.
To go back to a system based on gold alone—to the system which brought us all to disaster in the early 1930’s—is not an answer the world will, or should, accept. Rather we must build on the system we now have, a system which has served the world well during the past 20 years.
We have already made an excellent start. Our short-term defenses against
speculative crises have proved their strength and flexibility. The proposed increase in IMF quotas is a constructive forward step. Further, for some time we have been jointly exploring with our major trading partners how best to create new reserve assets that will be available if needed to supplement gold and dollars.
We must press forward with our studies and beyond, to action—evolving arrangements which will continue to meet the needs of a fast-growing world economy. Unless we make timely progress, international monetary difficulties will exercise a stubborn and increasingly frustrating drag on our policies for prosperity and progress at home and throughout the world.
Let no one doubt it—
We will eliminate our international deficit.
We will maintain the dollar at full value.
Our instruments and our actions must be as strong as our resolve. That is why I have taken the additional steps, and am asking the Congress for the new legislation. These measures will focus our great economic strength more sharply on our payments problem.
This is a problem that involves us all— as workers, as businessmen, as bankers, and as Government officials.
I know that the Congress and the American public will respond in full measure to the challenge.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

Whereas the Soviet Union has occupied, by force of arms, the countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and deprived such countries of their independence; and

Whereas despite such treatment, the spirit of the citizens of such countries is not broken and they remain overwhelmingly anti-Communist; and
Whereas the desire of the citizens of such countries for national freedom remains unabated; and

REPORT ON ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS UNDER COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE ACT
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences:
The White House, Washington, February 15,1965.
To the Congress of the United States:
The past year has seen important advances in the program to develop a global communications satellite system. The first launch of a commercial satellite is to take place in the early months of this year.
Through the initiative of the United States an international joint venture has been established. Under the law I have designated the Communications Satellite Corp, as the U.S. participant. The corporation is to be the manager on behalf of all participants.
The corporation has now been financed, has constituted its first board of directors to replace the original incorporators, and has moved forward with its program. All agencies of the Government with responsibilities under the act have made important and faithful contributions with the sympathetic assistance of the congressional committees concerned.
The new and extraordinary satellite telecommunications medium bringing peoples around the globe into closer relationship is nearer to fulfillment, heralding a new day in world communications.
As required by section 404(a) of the Communications Satellite Act, I herewith transmit to the Congress a report on the national program for development and application of the communications satellite technology to the services of mankind.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND ITS GOVERNMENT
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia:
To the Congress of the United States:
The Nation’s Capital should be a city in which every American can take justifiable pride, for the District of Columbia is more than a city—it is the seat of the Federal Government and the home of our most meaningful national shrines.
Our Founding Fathers not only planned a great nation but a great capital city for that nation. Their foresight and dedication—and the patient work of generations of Americans—have built a beautiful and inspiring National Capital. But for cities, as for men, there is no standing still. We progress or we fall back. This administration will not fail
in the stewardship vested in it for the Nation’s Capital. It is dedicated to enhancing and preserving the beauty and dignity of our Capital and to the improvement of the lives of its citizens.
There is much to be done. The programs that I propose envision immediate as well as long-range changes and improvements. We must continue and strengthen our efforts and more effectively marshal our resources to achieve the goals of an even better city. Every American must always be able to point to his Nation’s Capital as a living expression of the highest ideals of democratic government.
I.	HOME RULE
The most significant requirement, and one which can be accomplished immediately, is the restoration to the citizens of the District of Columbia of the direction and control of their own local affairs. I have already set out my recommendations in this respect in a message to the Congress proposing the necessary legislation.
II.	MUNICIPAL SERVICES
The Federal Government, until home rule has been achieved, and the District government thereafter, must attack the deficiencies in programs which now exist. Those deficiencies which follow are only the most important and the most urgent.
A.	Education
No more important responsibility rests on any local government than the provision of adequate educational facilities for its younger citizens. No need is more urgent than that of providing for all boys and girls the opportunity to secure the highest and best education of which they are capable.
1.	The public school system of the District, which already has many achievements to its credit, must become one of the great school systems in the Nation.
Curriculums and teaching methods must reflect the best experience available in the United States, particularly as it is related to young people who come to the schools from disadvantaged circumstances at home. The most highly qualified teachers must be recruited, and teachers in temporary category reduced to a minimum. More supporting personnel, particularly counselors, are needed. No child should lack adequate textbooks and no school should lack either an adequate library or a trained librarian. Vocational education must be more closely related to the demands of the modern world, as well as to the opportunities for further training which will be afforded by the community college. Improvements can be made in the training of the physically and mentally handicapped which will enable many more to achieve full or partial self-sufficiency.
The physical plant, within a decade at most, should be made adequate. New buildings should continue the principles of modern school design now being pursued. More immediately, there must be adequate space for every child, including, needless to say, those whom improved facilities, improved educational measures, and improved economic conditions
will prevent becoming dropouts. The capital of the richest nation on earth cannot tolerate part-time classes, classes in makeshift rooms, and classes so large that instruction becomes difficult or impossible.
2.	A committee of nationally recognized educators, after careful examination of the District’s situation, has recommended that the District should establish immediately a community college and a college of liberal arts and sciences, under a board of higher education. The former institution would provide a 2-year program, including both the first 2 years of college work and advanced technical training in a variety of subprofessional skills. The latter, which would absorb the present District of Columbia Teachers College, would emphasize teacher training but would also provide instruction in the liberal arts and sciences, growing as the need developed. These two institutions should be brought into being without delay. I will shortly recommend to the Congress the necessary legislation.
3.	The District should participate in the residential vocational school program authorized by the Vocational Education Act of 1963. Such a school can demonstrate the advantages of combining the most modern vocational education with the healthy and stimulating living environment now missing from the lives of many District children. It is my hope that plans for a school will be made immediately with the help of the Commissioner of Education.
B.	Health and welfare
The public health effort in the District has been impressive in recent years, and the momentum must be continued. Health is essential to the productivity and financial independence of individuals, and to a sound economy. Adequate programs to prevent disease and disability, to combat mental retardation, to reduce preventable deaths, especially among infants, and to provide medical care and related services to those unable to pay for them, are essential District needs.
The reconstruction and enlargement of the District of Columbia General Hospital now underway will ease the congestion there, but urgent need exists for the establishment of community health centers in several parts of the city, to bring health services closer to the people for whom they are designed. These centers, by including the facilities needed for comprehensive community-based mental health services, will also bring the District to the forefront in carrying out both the present national mental health program and the additional programs which I have recently recommended.
Improvements in physical plant must be matched by increased availability of services. We know now that denial of preventive services, based on unrealistic standards of medical indigency, are not measures of economy, but rather guarantees of increasing costs of social services later on. The provision of prenatal care is a classic example. Children’s Hospital, which by reason of its specialized facilities for the young is unique,
168
and stands among the best in its field in the United States, must be put on a sound financial basis.
A proper welfare program must not only be tightly administered and free of cheating and fraud, but also must insure that those in actual need of aid are provided for in a manner and at a level consistent with decency and humanity. Not only is this in the American tradition, but it is also prudent. Inadequate programs inadequately staffed exact a price we cannot afford to pay, in delinquency, crime, disease, broken homes, and broken lives. Nor can we ignore the added costs of institutional care for the children and the elderly from families whose resources, tenuous at best in many cases, collapse and are lost in extremes of poverty. Further District participation in the programs made possible by the 1961 and 1962 amendments to the Social Security Act should no longer be delayed.
C.	Public safety
The District has not been spared in the general increase in crime now being experienced throughout the United States. The impairment of the security of person and property, and the mounting rates of juvenile crime, are matters major concern.
The problems run deep, and will not yield to quick and easy answers. We must not weaken our resolve to identify and eliminate the causes of criminal activity. This is the thrust of the District’s program to combat juvenile delinquency in the Cardozo area—a program which must be extended as needed throughout the District as rapidly as its component parts can be evaluated. This is an important aspect of the program to combat poverty, and of the programs for improvement in education, health, welfare, housing, and recreation.
All these are vital, but they are not enough. Crime will not wait while we pull it up by the roots. We must have a fair and effective system of law enforcement to deal with those who break our laws. We have given too low a priority to our methods and institutions of law enforcement—our police, our criminal courts, and our correctional agencies. This neglect must not continue, and the District should be the first to remedy it.
The police are our frontline, both offensive and defensive, in the fight against crime. We ask the policeman to fit our principles to hard realities, to make our rules just in their operation, to apply our laws to an infinite variety of human situations. Because he represents the law to the great majority of our people, we ask him to impart respect for law in his every act. As the representative of government whom we send out in the streets, we impose on him a job of social aid and accommodation as many sided as government itself.
To do all of these things well, the policeman must be a man of high caliber, attracted to police work by sufficiently strong incentives, and trained beyond anything we have heretofore thought necessary. The Police Department must have a closer working relationship with
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
the social agencies of the community, for their problems and objectives are so often connected or concurrent. There is a great need for all people to learn about, to understand, and to assist the policeman in his work.
The courts have traditionally been the symbol and the guardian of our cherished freedoms, but local criminal courts are so overloaded that their image is tarnished, their functioning impeded, and their effectiveness weakened. More courts and judges is one answer, but need not be the only one. Full-scale court proceedings might be eliminated for minor offenses which could be handled by administrative arrangements under close judicial supervision. Certain types of offenders might be referred directly to social agencies for nonjudicial treatment. Some conduct which we now label criminal might better be removed from the criminal system and dealt with more effectively and appropriately elsewhere. EVery possibility must be explored.
Correctional agencies charged with responsibility for those who have been found guilty of a criminal offense face enormously complex problems. Some of the time-honored methods are proving to be inadequate. Many new ideas are being developed and applied, with still uncertain results. We cannot wait until they are certain. We should put to work in the District the most promising attempts to cure the maladjustments which lead to crime. We cannot tolerate an endless, self-defeating cycle of imprisonment, release, and reimprisonment which fails to alter undesirable attitudes and behavior. We must especially find ways to help the first offender avoid a continuing career of crime.
These needs are urgent, and our responses in the District will aid and encourage efforts throughout the Nation. It will not do merely to attempt minor changes; the problem is too big and too important to the community. We must seek the broadest and most imaginative improvements in the entire legal and social structure of our criminal law and its administration. To do this, I shall establish a commission which will concern itself specifically with crime and law enforcement in the District. It will enlist the best advice and assistance available, both in and out of the Federal Government, and will work closely with the national panel to be created shortly. Our goal must be no less than the planning and establishment in the District of a model system which will best achieve fair and effective law enforcement.
There are, in addition, opportunities for immediate action. Some control of firearms within the District is urgently needed. Legislation providing for the registration of pistols, which is an appropriate first step, will shortly be transmitted to the Congress by the Commissioners. The Police Department should be enlarged, as I have recommended in the District’s budget. Moreover, it should be afforded authority and funds to pay for overtime work, and to employ clerical and other workers to permit officers to use their police training to full
February 17
advantage. Both would increase its effective strength.
D.	Recreation
The District has not yet caught up with the needs of its citizens, eithei-young or old, for facilities which permit them to relax and to play. Some areas of the city lack these facilities, particularly areas where incomes are low, and where residents are generally lacking in the resources to enable them to take advantage of recreational facilities elsewhere. The goal must be an adequate system of recreational facilities throughout the District within the next decade.
The John F. Kennedy playground, largely equipped by private citizens, demonstrates not only the possibilities but also the enthusiastic response of the community to adequate play space. Equally desirable facilities should be provided in other parts of the District, particularly in areas now inadequately served.
E.	Housing and urban renewal
The District, in common with other American cities, suffers badly from a major shortage of housing adequate for its lower income groups. Public housing is being supplied for low-income families displaced by public projects; but nonpriority families and large families even with priority are afforded little relief. More public housing is an urgent necessity. Devices such as the housing of large families in individual houses by means of rent subsidies must be continued and expanded. New solutions must be developed and applied.
Equally important are measures to secure decent housing for the families whose incomes are high enough to make them ineligible for public housing, but who cannot find decent, safe, and sanitary private accommodations at prices or rents they can afford. There must be more vigorous efforts in the District, both public and private, to take advantage of all the programs now available under the national housing laws.
The District’s urban renewal program must make a major effort in the years ahead to provide decent housing for low-and moderate-income families. The rehabilitation and renewal project now underway in northwest urban renewal area project No. 1 may well offer an approach which can provide experience for similar projects elsewhere. There must be vigorous and prompt enforcement of the housing code, particularly in those areas where continuing deterioration may escalate into irrecoverable slums. Too little effort has been exerted to assure that violations are detected and corrected promptly. Both tenants and landlords must be made aware of their responsibilities as well as their rights.
Urban renewal powers must be made available to the District, as they are to other cities, to aid in the development of blighted commercial areas. They are particularly needed in the central city, where the demonstrated interest of the business community insures a fruitful cooperation between public and private efforts.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
169
There is need, too, for a reorganization of the urban renewal and public housing machinery of the Disrtict, in order that it may be more responsive to the District’s multiple needs. Immediate attention must be given to changes which will focus appropriate responsibility, and commensurate authority, in the District’s Board of Commissioners. Some delays are inherent in major urban projects, and no doubt this has been particularly true during the early years of the urban renewal program, but we can no longer afford or tolerate such delays.
F.	Poverty
The District can and should be a leader and an example to the Nation in the attack on poverty. Already there is a bold beginning, coordinated by the United Planning Organization, and using the combined resources of the Federal and District Governments and generous aid from both the Ford and the Eugene & Agnes E. Meyer Foundations. But the war on poverty is not to be won in one cataclysmic battle. It is more a war of attrition—in which there must be no letup of effort. The District must continue to provide training, counseling, employment services, and other aid on a coordinated and more intensive basis to those who are now unemployed or so underemployed that they cannot provide support for their families. It must have a minimum wage law expanded to cover men, as well as women and children. It must provide the educational help and other aids which will insure that the next generation—the potential welfare clients of the 1970’s and 1980’s—meet the challenge of our new technology and becomes self-supporting. We must break the cycle of poverty and dependency. It can be done. It will, in the long run, be far less expensive than any other course.
III.	THE DISTRICT AND THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
The District of Columbia is no longer the largest element of the Washington metrolopolitan region, either in number of residents or in area. Increasingly, the problems of the District blend into and become a part of regional problems. Transportation, water, air pollution, sewage and waste disposal, fire and police protection, recreation, employment, and economic development are only a partial list of matters in which neither the District nor any other part of the area can proceed behind its own jurisdictional curtains.
A.	Transportation
The most critical of the regional development needs is transportation. Washington is now the only major capital in the Western World lacking a rail rapid transit system. There is urgent need to begin the construction of such a system— largely within the District at the beginning, but eventually extending into the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia. I have already transmitted to the Congress proposed authorizing legislation.
The highway program, both within and without the District, must likewise not be allowed to lag. The cooperative efforts of District and Federal agencies through the Policy Advisory Committee
to review some elements of the program should be continued. Construction should proceed as rapidly as funds can be made available.
B.	Regional development
I have already indicated my hopes that the Potomac River will become a model of beauty and usefulness for the Capital and the Nation. There are, however, many other problems of the Washington metropolitan area for which long-range metropolitan solutions are necessary. The interest of the Federal Government in the best development of the region is manifest, and its cooperation in resolving regional problems is essential. We must encourage and facilitate local efforts to create effective organs of regional cooperation. In addition, the Federal Government must utilize its own policies and programs to assist the region to develop in a way which will maximize the efficiency and economy of Federal Government operations, and which will permit this region to exemplify to the United States and to the world the best in regional cooperation and metropolitan growth.
IV.	WASHINGTON AS A NATIONAL CAPITAL
The District, as the Nation’s Capital, must meet the special requirements imposed on the Capital City of a great nation. We are committed to preserving and enhancing the great avenues, the great museums and galleries, the great sweep of the Mall.
Legislation is being prepared in connection with the proposals to transform Pennsylvania Avenue from its present shabby state to a new dignity and grandeur. As long as blight and ugliness disfigure any part of this historic link between the Capitol and the White House, it cannot suitably serve as the main ceremonial avenue of the Nation, either to American citizens or to visitors from abroad. The proposal need not be undertaken at once in all of its aspects, but every aid and encouragement should be given to further study and refinement of its details and to the establishment of the creative partnership of Government and private enterprise needed to convert the avenue into a thoroughfare worthy of the Nation’s pride.
There are other areas where needed improvements can also be accelerated. The Washington Monument can be given the setting it deserves as soon as the development of the freeway from the Roosevelt Bridge to the 14th Street Bridge, and the 9th and 14th Street underpasses of the Mall permit the elimination of the 15th Street traffic from near the base of the monument. The temporary buildings which huddled at its base are already gone, and the plans to improve its immediate surroundings must be pushed forward.
The Lincoln Memorial, long throttled by a circle of heavy automobile traffic, can be freed of its noose as soon as the freeway running beneath its grounds permits the area facing the Reflecting Pool and the monument to be reserved for the visitor on foot. The memorial will not achieve its proper setting, however, un
til the remaining obsolete and temporary buildings on Constitution Avenue are eliminated.
There are many other projects. Temporary buildings on public space throughout the monumental area must be removed. There is need to carry forward the plans to develop the potential of the Mall, so that it may be a place of life and beauty, of pleasure and relaxation. There is need for a visitors’ center which will provide perspective and understanding regarding the Federal Government to the myriad students and tourists who come to Washington to see and learn.
There is also urgent need to proceed with the improvement of the central business district in a way which permits full coordination with the progress on Pennsylvania Avenue. The full potential of Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the Anacostia River as a major entranceway to the city has not been realized. There is the development of Washington’s waterfront in connection with the new aquarium. There is the need to identify landmark buildings and places, and to work out means by which to encourage their preservation.
The District presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Here we have natural beauty as well as buildings of historic and architectural value. The great sweep of the Potomac River, Rock Creek Park, and the ring of parks where the old Civil War forts stood make the District a city in a park. In its heart the grandeur of the Mall, the many circles and squares, and the great street trees carry natural beauty to everyone.
Today there is new awareness of our urban environment. We can, if we will, make the District the symbol of the best of our aspirations. We can make it a city in which our citizens will live in comfort and safety, and with pride, and in which commerce and industry will flourish. We can make it a Capital which its millions of visitors will admire. All this we must do. I am sure the Congress will join me in accepting the challenge.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT OF NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
The White House,
February 15,1965.
To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to transmit to the Congress the annual report for fiscal year 1964 of the National Science Foundation as required by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950.
At the end of the war the advance of science was a source of pervading pessimism in our land—and around the world. There were fears that the onrush of man’s knowledge would outrun man’s wisdom and speed humanity toward its own extinction. With the establishment of the NSF, we committed ourselves to
170
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
February 17
the development of peaceful science, and now our times are marked and moved by an optimism and hopefulness rare in all the history of mankind.
At its source much of our optimism flows from the confidence which both the advance and application of scientific knowledge permits. As science has provided us with new insights into man’s antecedents, so science also has unlocked for us new visions of man’s possibilities. Science has given us new knowledge of matter and of living things, a better understanding of natural processes, new and unexpected glimpses into what we can achieve in the future. The power over nature which science is giving our generation permits us to look forward with hope toward the solution of many age-old problems, if we apply results of the scientific advance well and wisely.
In the gains and change of these postwar years, American science has played a central role. Science has flourished in America as never before. While human knowledge has never known—and must never know—national boundaries, it is a fact that our Nation’s resources, stabil-ility, and political purposes have permitted American science to benefit the world to an extent unique in modern times.
A vital factor in our achievements has been our national effort toward understanding, anticipating, and supporting the creative force and constructive ends of science dedicated to peace, not conquest—to elevating human life, not oppressing it. This responsible approach toward science has come broadly, throughout our society, but a key role has been taken by the Federal Government.
While possessed of no special gift of foresight, the Federal Government has taken a forward-looking role, exercising both desirable initiative and appropriate self-restraint. Support for science has come from the Government without thought of making science subservient to the Government. The virtually undisputed leadership held by America today in the realm of science and technology is a conspicuously visible testament to the greater compatibility a free society affords to the spirit of free inquiry.
If balance has been approached in our overall support of our free science, credit is abundantly due the unheralded and frequently underestimated role of the National Science Foundation. Under its first Director, Dr. Alan T. Waterman, and now under the outstanding leadership of Dr. Leland Haworth, whose first annual report I am transmitting, the Foundation has fulfilled many times over the intent and hopes of the Congress which established it at the beginning of the last decade.
Close and understanding accord between science and public affairs is an imperative for free societies today. As I am so acutely aware, no national policy or purpose of the United States is unaffected by the present state or prospective scope of our scientific knowledge.
We look to it—
For the technology and industry which will supply us with new products and new jobs to meet our needs.
For the health programs which will eventually conquer disease and disability.
For the purposeful and useful exploration of the seas around us and the space above us.
And, most especially, for the guidance that will permit us to proceed with greater security and greater confidence toward our goals of peace and justice in a free world.
As no other force has contributed more materially to our effective pursuit of happiness in America, so it is true that no other force is now requiring of us the more careful examination and reexamination of the workings, values, and aspirations of our society. Science is changing many of the very premises on which our greatly successful American society has been built over the past two centuries. If we are to strive toward our society’s continuing success and further greatness, we must not merely commit ourselves to its support—we must involve ourselves in seeking to understand the profound changes which it promises.
For all that has been wrought in this land, we must understand that these are the infant years of a new age—not the aging days of an old era.
Our wisdom must be always the equal of our knowledge and information. For that reason, I commend to you this report from the National Science Foundation, created and supported by the Congress, and encourage your unchanging steadfastness in support of what is required to assure America’s continuing leadership in the science and technology of our times.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
U.S. PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy:
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith, pursuant to the International Atomic Energy Agency Participation Act, the seventh annual report covering U.S. participation in the International Atomic Energy Agency for the year 1963.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, February 15, 1965.
RAIL RAPID TRANSIT FOR THE NATION’S CAPITAL
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report and papers, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia;
The White House, Washington, February 10,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting to the Congress herewith, with my approval, a report submitted to me by the National Capital Transportation Agency on February 1, 1965, entitled “Rail Rapid Transit for the Nation’s
Capital,” and a proposed bill which would authorize the Agency to proceed with the transit development program described in that report. In preparing the proposed bill I have given full consideration to improvements that have been suggested to earlier bills.
The problem of mass transportation in the Washington area is critical. It is also a problem in which the Federal Government has a unique interest and responsibility. As Congress found in the National Capital Transportation Act of 1960, an improved transportation system for this area “is essential for the continued and effective performance of the functions of the Government of the United States, for the welfare of the District of Columbia, for the orderly growth and development of the National Capital region, and for the preservation of the beauty and dignity of the Nation’s Capital.”
There is widespread agreement that a high-speed and high-capacity rail transit system operating over separate rights-of-way through the more densely populated sections of the Washington metropolitan area provides the most promising approach to a long-range solution. Such a system will preserve the beauty, the dignity, and the historic and monumental character of our Capital City. It will exercise a desirable influence on the pattern of growth of the metropolitan area. And such a system is vital if we are to achieve the goal of a balanced transportation system for the area. The highway network now proposed for the area is predicated on an adequate rail transit system.
The report and proposed bill which I am transmitting provide for a system which will furnish the Washington area greatly improved transit service and which can later be expanded to the total system eventually needed. The National Capital Transportation Act of 1960 authorized the negotiation of an interstate compact under which the District would join with Maryland and Virginia in creating an appropriate organization to develop a total system for the area. My hope remains firm that such a compact organization can be brought into being at an early date. In the meantime, however, work on the present proposals can and should go forward without delay.
The Agency estimates, based on engineering studies carried on over the past 5 years, that to construct and equip the system which it proposes will cost $431 million, excluding interest costs. The proposed bill authorizes the appropriation of $150 million—$100 million by the Federal Government and $50 million by the District. With these grants, system revenues will be sufficient to provide for both operating expenses and the balance of the capital costs. The grants will also supply all the funds needed for construction until near the end of fiscal year 1968. By that time I hope that there will be a suitable regional compact agency which can assume the responsibility for issuance and sale of the revenue bonds needed to meet the remainder of the cost. If such a compact agency is not timely created, I will be prepared to
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
present alternative recommendations in time for the Congress to give full consideration to the course to be pursued.
The National Capital area should no longer be denied the forms of urban transportation which are vital to its welfare. The proposed program is an appropriate beginning—indeed, a long step toward the total transportation needs of the area. I hope that the Congress will give prompt and favorable consideration to the legislation which is needed to get the program underway.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

WAR AGAINST POVERTY
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
180
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
February 19
The White House, February 17,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I request the doubling of the war against poverty.
In addition I request legislation to improve our ability to conduct that war.
We reaffirm our faith that poverty can be eliminated from this country and our solemn commitment to prosecute the war against poverty to a successful conclusion. For that struggle is not only for the liberation of those imprisoned in poverty, but for the conscience and the values of a prosperous and free nation.
From the very beginning, this country, the idea of America itself, was the promise that all would have an equal chance to share in the fruits of our society.
As long as children are untrained, men without work, and families shut in gateless poverty, that promise is unkept. New resources and knowledge, our achievements and our growth, have given us the resources to meet this pledge. Not meanly or grudgingly, but in obedience to an old and generous faith, let us make a place for all at the table of American abundance.
Our objective was stated by the Congress in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964: “to eliminate the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty in this Nation by opening to everyone, the opportunity for education and training, the opportunity to work, and the opportunity to live in decency and dignity.”
THE PACE OF PROGRESS
We have already begun to move toward this objective:
Local antipoverty programs have been approved in 44 of the 50 States, and by June every State will be taking part.
Work is now underway on 53 Job Corps centers. Seven are already in operation and 15 will be completed each month. Each will be filled with young men or women anxious to learn and work, and to give themselves a new and often unexpected opportunity for a productive life.
We will, this year, provide a school readiness program for 100,000 children about to enter kindergarten. This will help them overcome the handicaps of experience and feeling which flow from poverty and permit them to receive the full advantages of school experience.
By July 3,500 VISTA volunteers, aged 18 to 82, will be working to help their fellow Americans in communities across the country.
Twenty-five thousand families, eligible for public assistance, are now enrolled in a work-experience program which provides jobs and skills for the family breadwinners, giving them a new prospect of emerging from a poverty which often reaches back through three generations.
We have established procedures, processed applications, and begun to make loans to thousands of struggling rural families and to small businesses.
In 49 cities and 11 rural communities, neighborhood Youth Corps have been established. In these Corps, young men and women between 16 and 21 can work to keep themselves in school, to return
if they have dropped out, or to prepare for permanent jobs.
Thirty-five thousand college level students can now continue their education through the income provided by part-time jobs. And 35,000 adults will be tought to read and write this year.
THE RISE OF NATIONAL CONCERN
All of these programs—the accomplishments of the first year and the hopes of the future—depend upon the concern and initiative of local communities. It is now clear that the war against poverty has touched the hearts and the sense of duty of the American people. This cause has truly become their cause.
Community action organizations, planning and organizing the local effort to end poverty, have sprung up in communities in every part of the country. Over 5,000 prominent citizens are serving, without pay, on such organizations. National groups, such as the American Bar Association, have pledged their special resources to the plight of the poor. And 75 national organizations have banded together in a citizens crusade against poverty to begin specific projects.
And the response of the American Nation is growing each day.
New community action proposals from local groups are coming in at a rate of 130 a month. We have already received 750 applications.
Applications for the Job Corps are arriving at a rate of nearly 6,000 a day.
Eight thousand men and women have volunteers to serve their fellow citizens in the VISTA program.
We estimate that at least 90,000 adults will be ready to enroll in adult basic education programs during the coming year.
And the same steady rise of interest and hope can be seen in every part of our program. We cannot afford, in conscience or in the national interest, to disappoint these hopes or to waste the valuable resources of human skill and energy wh'ch we are now beginning to tap.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Therefore I am requesting the Congress to authorize the continuation of these programs for the next 2 years and to authorize and appropriate $1.5 billion to conduct them during the fiscal year.
I am also asking Congress to extend for 10 months, to June 30, 1967, the period during which certain programs may be funded with 90 percent Federal assistance. If we do not do this, then many communities, especially those in rural or isolated areas and which lack the resources to get underway quickly, will be unable to qualify before the cutoff date.
In addition I recommend transfer of the work-study program to the Office of Education in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, as well as a series of technical amendments.
Last year Congress and my administration took a step unparalleled in the history of any nation. We pledged ourselves to the elimination of poverty in America. That was our commitment to the people we serve, and it reflected not only our own intentions but the will of the American people. We knew, and
said then, that this battle would not be easily or swiftly won. But we began. Today we can take togther another step along the path to the fulfillment of the American dream for all our citizens.
Sincerely,

The Congress intended that this new agency would help peoples of interested countries and areas “in meeting their needs for trained manpower, and to help promote a better understanding of the American people on the part of the peoples served, and a better understanding of other peoples on the part of the American people.”
In the early days, the Peace Corps was portrayed by many at home and abroad as an attractive, ever-gallant gesture, a token of good will, and the symbol of a friendly America. But the Peace Corps success has proven to be deeper. The Peace Corps has a fundamental role abroad above and beyond its symbolic value.
A Peace Corps, 10,000 strong, has been working in 46 countries. Volunteers are now in more than 3,000 different locations around the world. In the countryside of the developing world, the most frequently encountered American is a Peace Corps Volunteer. In several nations, there are more volunteers than individuals from all other American agencies and services combined.
Our Peace Corps has become important to the worldwide process of developing human resources in building nations. It is helping nations, not by preaching but by doing, not by words but by work.
In Africa, the Peace Corps has made an impressive contribution to secondary education. In 6 African nations, our volunteers make up at least one-third of the degree-holding teachers; they represent 90 percent of the degree-holding teachers in Malawi; they reach 50,000 Nigerian students each day. In these and other African countries, they have contributed to a great expansion of the school systems—to an increase of tens of thousands of secondary school students.
In India, Peace Corps volunteers are working with Indians to introduce modern commercial poultry production involving improved breeds, poultry care, feeding, and market development. Production of eggs and poultry has increased manyfold and these new approaches, at present, are being adopted in new areas of the country.
More than 3,700 volunteers in Latin America are engaged in a continental effort in community development, helping to bring the citizens and governments of 17 nations together in self-help programs.
Community development does not produce dramatic statistics. But it does change people, and people change nations.
This essential ingredient of progress— the expansion of the will and capacity of man—is hard to achieve and more difficult to measure. It is, nonetheless, basic to development. One encouraging measurement of Peace Corps success in this field has been the emergence of responsive, effective community-development agencies in many Latin American countries. In Colombia, the Government’s fledgling agency “accion communal,” which had only a limited plan when the first volunteers arrived in 1961, is now firmly established. It is operating vigorous and effective programs in both isolated rural areas and urban slums. In Peru and Bolivia, volunteers are helping to train personnel for those countries’ newly organized development agencies. In the Dominican Republic, the Peace Corps was the energizing force behind that country’s “Desarrollo Comunidad.” Peace Corp participation in El Salvador’s “Educational Brigades” has expanded that program from 3 experimental areas to 18, covering most of that small but significant country.
The task is indeed vast. But in the Peace Corps, we have found a practical way in which Americans—personally, directly, effectively—can play a valuable part. And in doing so, they are encouraging other peoples to mobilize themselves. Over 1,200 university students are now working in the villages of the Andean highlands in a student Peace Corps known as Cooperacion Popular Universitaria. In Chile, 1,500 students are using their vacations to build schools. India is planning a development corps of 5,000 to 10,000 organized along Peace Corps lines. In Thailand, the voluntary rural development corps awaits final Cabinet approval before beginning its work.
So the Peace Corps can no longer be viewed as just a feather in our Nation’s cap. It is an essential part of our democratic program in meeting our world responsibilities and opportunities. It has become a major instrument for economic and social development. And in learning about nation building, it is providing a corps of dedicated and experienced Americans who, upon their return, will help us continue to strengthen this Nation at home.
The urgent yet prudent requests from host countries for volunteers are growing. There is ample justification and great need to satisfy these requests. To meet these needs we must utilize in the Peace Corps the talents, energy, and enthusiasm of all interested and capable citizens who volunteer in such large numbers.
The requested Peace Corps authorization for fiscal year 1966 is an increase of $21.1 million over the amount appropriated by the Congress for fiscal year 1965. This increase will enable the Peace Corps to expand from a level of 15,000 by the end of August 1965 to 17,000 volunteers by the end of August 1966.
It is my belief, therefore, that a growing Peace Corps of increasing capabilities and effectiveness is essential. Our responsibilities to ourselves, to our country, and to the world require no less.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

PROBLEMS AND FUTURE OF THE CITIES
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, received on March 2, 1965, during the adjournment of the Senate, under the authority of the order of the Senate on March 1, 1965; which was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency:
To the Congress of the United States:
Throughout man’s history, the city1 has been at the center of civilization. It is at the center of our own society.
Over 70 percent of our population— 135 million Americans—live in urban areas. A half century from now 320 million of our 400 million Americans will live in such areas. And our largest cities will receive the greatest impact of growth.
Numbers alone do not make this an urban nation. Finance and culture, commerce and government make their home in the city and draw their vitality from it. Within the borders of our urban centers can be found the most impressive achievements of man’s skill and the highest expressions of man’s spirit, as well as the worst examples of degradation and crueltry and misery to be found in modern America.
The city is not an assembly of shops and buildings. It is not a collection of goods and services. It is a community for the enrichment of the life of man. It is a place for the satisfaction of man’s most urgent needs and his highest aspirations. It is an instrument for the advance of civilization. Our task is to put the highest concerns of our people at the center of urban growth and activity. It is to create and preserve the sense of community with others which gives us significance and security, a sense of belonging and sharing in the common life.
Aristotle said: “Men come together in cities in order to live. They remain together in order to live the good life.”
The modern city can be the most ruthless enemy of the good life, or it can be its servant. The choice is up to this generation of Americans. For this is truly the time of decision for the American city.
In our time, two giant and dangerous forces are converging on our cities: the forces of growth and decay.
Between today and the year 2000, more than 80 percent of our population increase will occur in urban areas. During the next 15 years, 30 million people
1 In this message the word “city” is used to mean the entire urban area—the central city and its suburbs.
198
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 4
will be added to our cities—equivalent to the combined population of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Baltimore. Each year, in the coming generation, we will add the equivalent of 15 cities of 200,000 each.
Already old cities are tending to combine into huge clusters. The strip of land from southern New Hampshire to northern Virginia contains 21 percent of America’s population in 1.8 percent of its areas. Along the west coast, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico, other urban giants are merging and growing.
Our new city dwellers will need homes and schools and public services. By 1975 we will need over 2 million new homes a year. We will need schools for 10 million additional children, welfare and health facilities for 5 million more people over the age of 60, transportation facilities for the daily movement of 200 million people and more than 80 million automobiles.
In the remainder of this century—in less than 40 years—urban population will double, city land will double, and we will have to build in our cities as much as all that we have built since the first colonist arrived on these shores. It is as if we had 40 years to rebuild the entire urban United States.
Yet these new overwhelming pressures are being visited upon cities already in distress. We have over 9 million homes, most of them in cities, which are run down or deteriorating; over 4 million do not have running water or even plumbing. Many of our central cities are in need of major surgery to overcome decay. New suburban sprawl reaches out into the countryside, as the process of urbanization consumes a million acres a year. The old, the poor, the discriminated against are increasingly concentrated in central city ghettos; while others move to the suburbs leaving the central city to battle against immense odds.
Physical decay, from obsolescent schools to polluted water and air, helps breed social decay. It casts a pall of ugliness and despair on the spirits of the people. And this is reflected in rising crime rates, school dropouts, delinquency, and social disorganization.
Our cities are making a valiant effort to combat the mounting dangers to the good life. Between 1954 and 1963, per capita municipal tax revenues increased by 43 percent, and local government indebtedness increased by 119 percent. City officials with inadequate resources, limited authority, too few trained people, and often with too little public support, have, in many cases, waged a heroic battle to improve the life of the people they serve.
But we must do far more as a nation if we are to deal effectively with one of the most critical domestic problems of the United States.
Let us be clear about the core of this problem. The problem is people and the quality of the lives they lead. We want to build not just housing units, but neighborhoods; not just to construct schools, but to educate children; not just to raise income, but to create beauty and end the poisoning of our environ
ment. We must extend the range of choices available to all our people so that all, and not just the fortunate, can have access to decent homes and schools, to recreation, and to culture. We must work to overcome the forces which divide our people and erode the vitality which comes from the partnership of those with diverse incomes and interests and backgrounds.
The problems of the city are problems of housing and education. They involve increasing employment and ending poverty. They call for beauty and nature, recreation, and an end to racial discrimination. They are, in large measure, the problems of American society itself. They call for a generosity of vision, a breadth of approach, a magnitude of effort which we have not yet brought to bear on the American city.
Whatever the scale of its programs, the Federal Government will only be able to do a small part of what is required. The vast bulk of resources and energy, of talent, and toil, will have to come from State and local governments, private interests, and individual citizens. But the Federal Government does have a responsibility. It must help to meet the most urgent national needs; in housing, in education, in health, and in many other areas. It must also be sure that its efforts serve as a catalyst and as a lever to help and guide State and local governments toward meeting their problems.
We must also recognize that this message, and the program it proposes, does not fully meet the problems of the city. In part, this is because many other programs, such as those for education and health, are dealt with separately. But it is also because we do not have all the answers. In the last few years there has been an enormous growth of interest and knowledge and intellectual ferment. We need more thought and wisdom and knowledge as we painfully struggle to identify the ills, the dangers, and the cures for the American city. We need to reshape, at every level of government, our approach to problems which are often different than we thought and larger than we had imagined.
I want to begin that process today.
We begin with the awareness that the city, possessed of its own inexorable vitality, has ignored the classic jurisdictions of municipalities and counties and States. That organic unit we call the city spreads across the countryside, enveloping towns, building vast new suburbs destroying trees and streams. Access to suburbs has changed the character of the central city. The jobs and income of suburbanites may depend upon the opportunities for work and learning offered by the central city. Polluted air and water do not respect the jurisdictions of mayors and city councils, or even of Governors. Wealthy suburbs often form an enclave whereby the well to do and the talented can escape from the problems of their neighbors, thus impoverishing the ability of the city to deal with its problems.
The interests and needs of many of the communities which make up the modern
city often seem to be in conflict. But they all have an overriding interest in improving the quality of life of their people. And they have an overriding interest in enriching the quality of American civilization. These interests will only be served by looking at the metropolitan area as a whole, and planning and working for its development.
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
To give greater force and effectiveness to our effort in the cities I ask the Congress to establish a Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Our urban problems are of a scope and magnitude that demand representation at the highest level of government. The Housing and Home Finance Agency was created two decades ago. It has taken on many new programs. Others are proposed in this message. Much of our hopes for American progress will depend on the effectiveness with which these programs are carried forward. These problems are already in the front rank of national concern and interest. They deserve to be in the front rank of government as well.
The new Department will consist of all the present programs of HHFA. In addition it will be primarily responsible for Federal participation in metropolitan area thinking and planning. This new department will provide a focal point for thought and innovation and imagination about the problems of our cities. It will cooperate with other Federal agencies, including those responsible for programs providing essential education, health, employment, and social services. And it will work to strengthen the constructive relationships between Nation, State, and city—the creative federalism—which is essential to progress. This partnership will demand the leadership of mayors, Governors, and State legislatures.
INCENTIVES TO METROPOLITAN AREA COOPERATION
The Federal Government cannot, and should not, require the communities which make up a metropolitan area to cooperate against their wills in the solution of their problems. But we can offer incentives to metropolitan area planning and cooperation. We can help those who want to make the effort but lack the trained personnel and other necessary resources. And the new Department should have regional representatives in our metropolitan areas to assist, where assistance is requested, in the development of metropolitan area plans.
We already have Federal programs in which assistance depends upon the completion of soundly conceived metropolitan area plans, such as the mass transportation program passed by the 88th Congress. This program strikes at the heart of one of our most critical and urgent needs—a transportation system which can relieve congestion and make it possible for people to travel with comparative ease to places of work, learning, and pleasure.
I am proposing other programs which will also require sound, long-range development programs as a condition of Federal assistance. Wherever it can be done without leaving vital needs unmet, exist
1965

ing programs will also be keyed to planning requirements.
Among the most vital needs of our metropolitan areas is the requirement for basic community facilities—for water and sewerage. Many existing systems are obsolete or need major rehabilitation. And population growth will require a vastly increased effort in years ahead.
These basic facilities, by their very nature, require cooperation among adjacent communities. I propose a program of matching grants to local governments for building new basic community facilities with an appropriation of $100 million for fiscal 1966. These grants will be contingent upon comprehensive, areawide planning for future growth; and will be made only for projects consistent with such planning.
One of the greatest handicaps to sound programs for future needs is the difficulty of obtaining desirable land for public buildings and other facilities. As growth is foreseen it should be possible to acquire land in advance of its actual use. Thus, when the need arises, the land will be there. I recommend a Federal program for financial assistance to help in this advance acquisition of land.
Federal grants would be made available to cover the interest charges for 5 years on loans obtained by public bodies. Thus we will cover the cost during the period before the facilities are constructed.
Last year alone 1 million acres were urbanized. As our cities spread, far too often we create the ugliness and waste which we call urban sprawl. At times we find we have built new slum areas in our suburbs. Some of our programs are designed to stem this tide by helping city governments to plan their growth. But we must continue to depend upon the private developer and lender for most of our construction. And they sometimes lack the economic resources to insure high standards of development. I therefore recommend a program of federally insured private loans, backed by Federal mortgage purchases where necessary, to finance the acquisition and development of land for entire new communities and planned subdivisions.
This program should enable us to help build better suburbs. And it will also make it easier to finance the construction of brandnew communities on the rim of the city. Often such communities can help break the pattern of central city ghettos by providing low- and moderateincome housing in suburban areas.
This program will be complemented with a program of Federal financial assistance to State land development agencies. Under this program public bodies would acquire land, install basic facilities, and then resell the improved land to private builders for the construction of suburbs or new communities.
All of these programs would be dependent upon the existence of areawide planning for growth to which the aided developments must conform. They are designed to stimulate the farsighted planning for future growth which is necessary if we are to prevent sprawl and new slums, and to create standards which
will guarantee a decent environment for our future city dwellers, whatever their race or income. In addition, these programs should enable us to build better suburbs, since it will be possible to acquire land and improve it before the imminent approach of the city has sent costs skyrocketing upward.
RESOURCES FOR PLANNING
To plan for the growth and development of an entire metropolitan area takes a wide range of skills and a large number of trained people. These vital human resources are in short supply. They are beyond the command of many of our cities. To help meet this need I propose to establish an Institute of Urban Development as part of the new Department.
This Institute will help support training of local officials in a wide range of administrative and program skills. It will administer grants to States and cities for studies and the other basic work which are the foundation of long-term programs. And it will support research aimed especially at reducing the costs of building and home construction through the development of new technology.
TEMPORARY NATIONAL COMMISSION
Good planning for our metropolitan areas will take not only determination, the spirit of cooperation and added resources. It will also take knowledge, more knowledge than we have now. We need to study the structure of building codes across the country, their impact on housing costs, how building codes can be simplified and made more uniform, and how housing codes might be more effectively enforced to help eliminate slums.
Zoning regulations also affect both the cost and pattern of development. We must better learn how zoning can be made consistent with sound urban development.
Few factors have greater impact on cost, on land speculation, and on the ability of private enterprise to respond to the public interest, than local and Federal tax policies. These, too, must be examined to determine how they can best serve the public interest.
Finally, we must begin to develop better and more realistic standards for suburban development. Even where local authorities wish to prevent sprawl and blight, to preserve natural beauty, and insure decent, durable housing they find it difficult to know what standards should be expected of private builders. We must examine what kind of standards are both economically feasible and will provide livable suburbs.
To examine all these problems I recommend the establishment of a Temporary National Commission on Codes, Zoning, Taxation, and Development Standards. I predict that the body masked by such an unwieldy name may emerge with ideas and instruments for a revolutionary improvement in the quality of the American city.
This entire range of programs is designed to help us begin to think and act across historic boundaries to enrich the life of the people of our metropolitan
areas. We do not believe such planning is a cure-all or a panacea. It can sometimes be a slender reed. It must be flexible and open to change, and we cannot wait for completed plans before trying to meet urgent needs in many areas. But it will teach us to think on a scale as large as the problem itself and act to prepare for the future as well as to repair the past.
I hope that, as time goes by, more and more of our Federal programs can be brought into harmony with metropolitan area programs. For in this approach lies one of our brightest hopes for the effective use of local, as well as Federal, resources in improving the American city.
THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
We owe the quality of American housing to the initiative and vitality of our private housing industry. It has provided the homes which have made most of our citizens the best housed people in the world. Our Federal housing programs are designed to work in support of private effort and to meet the critical needs which can only be met through government action.
After World War n we worked to revitalize the housing market and provide homes for a growing number of our people. This effort has been successful far beyond our initial hopes. However, the problem now has a different shape. It is not enough simply to build more and more units of housing. We must build neighborhoods and communities. This means combining construction with social services and community facilities. It means to build so that people can live in attractive surroundings sharing a strong sense of community.
To meet new objectives we must work to redirect, modernize, and streamline our housing programs. I will ask the Congress to begin the process this year, while continuing those programs which are providing necessary assistance.
We hope to achieve a large increase of homes for low- and moderate-income families—those in greatest need of assistance—through an array of old and new instruments designed to work together toward a single goal—to insist on stricter enforcement of housing codes by communities receiving Federal aid, thus mounting an intensified attack on slums.
But such insistence is not realistic, and often not desirable, unless we can provide realistic alternatives to slum housing. We will do this by—
Providing rent supplements for families across a wide range of lower and moderate income brackets so they can afford decent housing.
Providing rent supplement assistance to those forced out of their homes by code enforcement and all forms of federally assisted Government action, from highways to urban renewal.
Using both urban renewal funds and public housing funds to rehabilitate existing housing and make it available to low- and moderate-income families. There is no reason to tear down and rebuild if existing housing can be improved and made desirable.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 4
Emphasizing residential construction and rehabilitation on a neighborhoodwide scale in the urban renewal program.
These instruments, combined with existing public housing and direct loan programs, will greatly strengthen our existing effort. They should offer direct assistance to the housing of 1 million families over the next 4 years. Moreover they will immensely add to our flexibility in the process of building neighborhoods.
RENT SUPPLEMENTS
The most crucial new instrument in our effort to improve the American city is the rent supplement.
Up to now Government programs for low- and moderate-income families have concentrated on either direct financing of construction; or on making below-the-market-rate loans to private builders: We now propose to add to these programs through direct payment of a portion of the rent of needy individuals and families.
The homes themselves will be built by private builders, with Federal Housing Administration insurance, and, where necessary, mortgage purchases by the Federal National Mortgage Association. The major Federal assistance will be the rent supplement payment for each eligible family.
This approach has immense potential advantages over low-interest loan programs :
First, its flexibility will allow us to help people across a much broader range of income than has hitherto been possible. And it will therefore make it possible significantly to increase the supply of housing available to those of moderate income.
Second, the payment can be keyed to the income of the family. Those with lower incomes will receive a greater supplement. Under present direct loan programs the amount of the subsidy is the same for all who live in a federally assisted development regardless of individual need.
Third, the amount of assistance can be reduced as family income rises. It can be ended completely when income reaches an adequate level. Thus we will not end up, as is sometimes the case, helping those who no longer need help.
Fourth, it will be unnecessary to evict from their homes those whose income has risen above the point of need. This will eliminate what is often a great personal hardship.
Fifth, since the supplement is flexible it will permit us to encourage housing in which families of different incomes, and in different age groups, can live together. It will make it unnecessary for the Government to assist and even require the segregation by income level which detracts from the variety and quality of urban life.
In the long run this may prove the most effective instrument of our new housing policy. In order to give it a fair chance we are limiting it to carefully designed categories of need—
In a program of rental and cooperative housing for those low and moderate income families displaced by
Government action or now living in substandard housing. The subsidy will help them pay rent or meet payments on a federally insured mortgage.
In a program of homeownership for those displaced or living in substandard housing who display a capacity for increasing income and eventually owning their own home.
In a program to provide a broader range of housing for the elderly with inadequate incomes. The existing direct loan program for the elderly will continue at its existing level with the funds already provided by the Congress. I intend to insure a steadily increasing supply of federally assisted housing for older Americans. On this basis our rent supplement program should finance more than 500,000 homes over the next 4 years, while improving our ability to make these homes serve the social needs of those who live in them. If it works as well as we expect, it should be possible to phase out most of our existing programs of low-interest loans.
REHABILITATION
We have concentrated almost all our past effort on building new units, when it is often possible to improve, rebuild, and rehabilitate existing homes with less cost and less human dislocation. Even some areas now classed as slums can be made decent places to live with intensive rehabilitation. In this way it may often be possible to meet our housing objectives without tearing people away from their familiar neighborhoods and friends. Sometimes the same objective can be achieved by helping local authorities to lease standard homes for low-rent families.
I recommend a change in the public housing formula so that we can more readily use public housing funds to acquire and rehabilitate existing dwellings—and to permit local authorities to lease standard housing for low-rent families. This will assist particularly in providing housing for large families.
I recommend the use of urban renewal funds to permit low-income homeowners to repair their homes and nonprofit sponsors to rehabilitate and operate homes for low-income families at rents they can afford.
I have recommended the appropriation of funds for low-interest rehabilitation loans under urban renewal, designed to help rescue our existing housing from blight and decay.
EXISTING PROGRAMS
I ask Congress to continue, on a modified basis, the existing housing programs which have proven their ability to meet important needs. But I also wish to state my intention to reduce or eliminate these programs whenever new and more flexible instruments have shown they can do a better job.
The public housing program should be continued with an authorization ample enough to permit an increase in the number of new units as well as to conduct a program of rehabilitation.
I ask the continuation, at the rate of 40,000 additional units for fiscal 1966,
of the program of below-market interest rate mortgage purchases for housing for moderate income families. At the same time we must recognize that the benefits of this program are decreasing as the rising costs of Federal borrowing narrows the difference between the interest we ask and that demanded in the private market.
I urge continued support for our college housing program which is struggling to keep up with the needs of a rising volume of students.
I ask that our urban renewal program be increased to a level of $750 million a year by 1968. This program has done much to help our cities. But we have also learned, through hard experience, that there is more to eliminating slums and building neighborhoods than knocking down old buildings and putting up new ones.
Through using funds for rebuilding existing housing and by providing more and better assistance to families forced out by urban renewal, we can make this program better serve the people it is meant to help. We will continue to use urban renewal to help revitalize the business and industrial districts which are the economic base of the central city. But this program should be more and more concentrated on the development of residential areas so that all our tools—from the poverty program, to education, and construction—can be used together to create meaningful and livable communities within the city.
To accomplish this purpose cities must develop long-range programs which take into account human as well as construction needs. Therefore I recommend that every city of 50,000 or larger develop a community renewal program as a condition of Federal help for urban renewal. These programs will provide an orderly schedule and pattern for development of areas of blight and decay— combining social and educational services with the planning of physical construction.
neighborhood facilities
A community must offer added dimensions to the possibilities of daily life. It must meet the individual’s most pressing needs and provide places for recreation and for meeting with neighbors. I therefore recommend a new program of matching grants to help local governments build multipurpose neighborhood centers for health and recreation and community activity. Related to our housing programs these centers can help urban renewal and public housing meet the goal of creating a meaningful community.
At the same time these centers must not be isolated expressions of interest. They should be part of an overall program for improving the life of people in disadvantaged areas. - Therefore, I am recommending that in cities participating in the war against poverty these grants be made only when they are consistent with an approved community action program.

BEAUTIFYING THE CITY
In my message on natural beauty, I pointed out that much of the effort of the new conservation would be directed toward the city. I recommend changes in the open space program, broadening its authority to help local governments acquire and clear areas to create small parks and squares, malls, and playgrounds. In addition, I recommend special grants to cities for landscaping, the planting of trees, the improvement of city parks, and other measures to bring beauty and nature to the city dweller.
But beauty is not simply a matter of trees and parks. The attractiveness of our cities depends upon the design and architecture of buildings and blocks and entire urban neighborhoods. I intend to take further steps to insure that Federal construction does not contribute to drab and ugly architecture. But in this field, as in so many others, most of our hopes rest on the concern and work of local governments and private citizens.
CONCLUSION
This message can only deal with a fragment of the effort increasingly directed toward improving the quality of life in the American city. The creation of jobs, the war against poverty, support for education and health, programs for natural beauty and antipollution, are all part of an effort to build the great cities which are at the foundation of our hopes for a Great Society.
Nor can we forget that most of our programs are designed to help all the people, in every part of the country. We do not intend to forget or neglect those who live on the farms, in villages, and in small towns. Coordinated with the Department of Agriculture, the programs I have outlined above can do much to meet rural America’s need for housing and the development of better communities.
Many of these programs are intended to help the poor and those stripped of opportunity. But our goal is more ambitious than that. It is nothing less than to improve the quality of life for every American. In this quest the future of the American city will play the most vital role. There are a few whose affluence enables them to move through the city guarded and masked from the realities of the life around them. But they are few indeed. For the rest of us the quality and condition of our lives is inexorably fixed by the nature of the community in which we live. Slums and ugliness, crime and congestion, growth and decay inevitably touch the life of all. Those who would like to enjoy the lovely parks of some of our great cities soon realize that neither wealth nor position fully protects them against the failures of society. Even among strangers, we are neighbors.
We are still only groping toward solution. The next decade should be a time of experimentation. Our cities will not settle into a drab uniformity directed from a single center. Each will choose its own course of development—whether it is to unite communities or build entirely new metropolitan areas. We will seek new ways to structure our suburbs
and our transportation; new techniques for introducing beauty and improving homes. This is an effort which must command the most talented and trained of our people, and call upon administrators and officials to act with generosity of vision and spaciousness of imagination.
I believe today’s proposals are an important start along that road. They should help us to look upon the city as it really is: a vast and myriad complex of homes and communities, people and their needs, hopes and frustrations. It can liberate the expectations of men, or it can crush them in body and spirit.
For underneath all the rest, at the very bottom of all we do, is the effort to protect, under the conditions of the modern world, values as old as this Nation and the civilization from which it comes. We work in our cities to satisfy our needs for shelter and work and the ability to command a satisfying way of life. We wish to create a city where men and women can feed the hunger of the spirit for beauty and have access to the best of man’s work; where education and the richness of diversity expands our horizons and extends our expectations. But we also look for something more.
The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual’s dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes only from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.

OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Commerce:
The White House, March 2,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am very happy to transmit to the Congress my oceanographic program for fiscal year 1966.
For tens of thousands of years—ever since man has possessed the power to sense and reason—he has been aware of the seas around him. This awareness has varied from disdain to superstition, as man alternately sailed and fished the sea on the one hand, and worshiped it on the other.
But never until recently did man seek great understanding of the oceans, because he saw little necessity. There was always a new frontier, an unexplored land, unexploited territory.
Now our view of the seas has had to undergo a drastic change. We have always considered them as barriers to invasion; we now must see them as links, not only between peoples, but to a vast new untapped resource.
It is becoming increasingly clear that there are large mineral deposits under the oceans. But before this treasure becomes useful we must first locate it and develop the technology to recover it economically. We must also learn much more about marine biology if we are to tap the great potential food resources of the seas.
Our oceanographic research fleet is now the finest and best equipped in the world. Since the turn of the decade our Nation has been engaged in a program of building for oceanic development. We have designed and constructed the first new ships for oceanography, which, to
202
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

gether with our conversions, have added 42 hulls, more than doubling the fleet size.
We have added several new laboratories and supporting activities, fitted out with modern instrumentation. Classrooms in over 50 colleges and universities throughout our land are occupied by over triple their former numbers of students— who in a real sense represent our greatest resource of all.
The challenge now is to expand our utilization of these resources. Our ship construction program is nearly complete so that although the Federal budget of $141 million in oceanography is only 2 percent greater than requested last year, it includes a significantly greater proportion for research and oceanic surveys than in previous years. I believe that the total amount is an absolute minimum if our Nation is to use its capabilities well and to progress toward its objectives in oceanography.
We are looking forward to a period Where our investment in ocean research may bear fruit in terms of faster and more comfortable transportation, more highly developed exploitation of our marine mineral and fisheries resources, increased pollution control, more accurate prediction of storms and tides that endanger life and property, and the strengthening of our national defense.
I especially invite your attention to the manner in which the individual Federal agencies’ programs have been blended toward the attainment of common goals. I consider this coordination, achieved under the guidance of the Federal Council for Science and Technology, to be essential if we are to exploit the seas in an effective manner.
However, it is just as essential that the Congress view this program as a unified thrust seaward. I therefore urgently recommend that when the various committees of the Congress review their portions of this program they keep its entirety in mind. We will all thus be enabled to see, together, that this important aspect of our national interest proceeds toward fullfillment.
Sincerely yours,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
HIGH-SPEED GROUND TRANSPORTATION
The VICE PRESIDENT laid befor the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Commerce :
The White House, March 4, 1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am pleased to transmit to Congress proposed legislation for high-speed ground transportation research and development. This legislation will help us to bring scientific and technical talent to bear on an increasingly important area of transportation not previously subject to intensive, continuing inquiry.
The life of every citizen is influenced by transportation service. This vast economic activity not only absorbs one out of every five GNP dollars; it shapes
the environment in which we live and work. Advances in our transportation system must constantly be made if we are to continue to enjoy growth and prosperity—and if America is to be a livable nation.
The last three decades have produced great technological achievements in air and highway transportation. Commercial planes today fly three times as fast as they did in the 1930’s. Automobiles speed along modern highways at greatly reduced travel time. The progress of our rail transportation system, unfortunately, has not matched these strides.
I believe the power of science and technology, demonstrated so well in the evolution of air and highway travel, can be utilized in the solution of other transportation problems, especially rail transportation.
Striking advances in intercity ground transportation—advances in speed, reliability, comfort, and convenience—are needed and possible. In the last 50 years, intercity freight tonnage has risen four times, and passenger travel has increased 25-fold. In 1960 Americans traveled over 600 billion passenger-miles, exclusive of local movement. That figure will more than double by 1980. We face an imminent need for improved intercity transportation in the densely populated area along the east coast—between Washington and Boston—where travel is expected to increase by 150 to 200 percent between 1960 and 1980. Freight shipments during the same period may nearly double. Other such “corridors” can be identified throughout the Nation. Advances in the transportation of goods and people safely, reliably, and economically in one densely populated area will be directly applicable to other regions.
It is clear that we should explore the feasibility of an improved ground transportation system for such heavily traveled corridors. The program outlined by the Secretary of Commerce calls for research on materials, aerodynamics, vehicle power and control, and guideways. Information requirements for regional studies and evaluations are to be defined and the necessary data collected. We must learn about travel needs and preferences, in part through the use of large-scale demonstration projects. New methods of analyzing the problem will be developed to give adequate consideration to the large number of regional and local characteristics which influence the performance, acceptability, and cost of all kinds of systems.
The task is large and complex. Evolutionary improvement in the existing railroad system must be compared to much more radical and longei- term developments. Systems proposed must be compatible with urban transportation plans. The research and development activity will require the services of many outstanding scientists, engineers, administrators, and business executives. But I know that we will find the skills in industry, in the universities, and in Government—both national and local—to do the job. The consequences of beginning now will be vital, for experience has demonstrated to us that dollars spent in
sound research and development produce benefits many times over.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
USE OF AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Government Operations:
The White House, March 2,1965.
Dear Mr. President: The use of automatic data processing equipment during the past 10 years has contributed significantly to increased effectiveness and rising productivity in governmental operations. The electronic computer has enabled the Government to carry out programs which otherwise would have been impossible. Better and more economical services to the public have been achieved through the use of this equipment.
Government policies with respect to the acquisition and use of automatic data processing equipment have been a matter of interest to a number of congressional committees. In 1963, in response to a congressional request, President Kennedy directed the Bureau of the Budget to undertake a comprehensive review of this subject and to prepare a report to the Congress. This study is now complete. The suggestions for improvement outlined in the enclosed report have my approval.
I have requested the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to work with the interested committees of the Congress and with the executive agencies concerned to assure the most economical and effective use of this highly important area of management.
The Bureau of the Budget at an early date will set forth, in a circular, specific Government-wide responsibilities of the Bureau of the Budget, General Services Administration, Department of Commerce, and Civil Service Commission, to carry out the recommendations contained in the report.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

MANPOWER
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, received on March 5, 1965, during the adjournment of the Senate, under the authority of the order of the Senate on Thursday, March 4, 1965; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
To the Congress of the United States:
I report on a year of progress toward an active manpower policy.
We have raised employment and lowered unemployment through programs: to stimulate more employment opportunities ; to upgrade the skills and adaptability of our work force; and to link the two—jobs and men—more effectively.
Much remains to be done. We are still far from the goals of the Great Society.
Each individual must have a fair chance to develop his abilities and to engage in productive and rewarding activity. In the Great Society, all men must have the self-respect and economic security that flow from full use of their talents.
Remarkable advances of science must be directed to permit increasing freedom of choice in shaping the character and quality of our world. We have the potential in terms of manpower and material resources to apply new knowledge and techniques to insure that the life of all Americans—at home and at work— can be more creative, more productive, and more satisfying. Although we may not fully realize our goal of “human work for human beings” in our lifetime, we can make dramatic progress toward that goal in this generation.
Manpower problems are many and ever changing. But several are paramount—and call for the highest priorities in manpower policy.
The No. 1 problem is still unemployment. Despite recent improvements, unemployment and underemployment are intolerably high, particularly for those lacking education, skills, or opportunity because of poverty and discrimination.
A second problem relates to the needs of the great number of new young jobseekers. An unprecedented increase is occurring at a time when the rate of youth unemployment is already three times greater than adult unemployment.
A third major problem concerns rapid change that burdens many workers and communities, even while benefiting the economy generally. Technological change can be the key to ever-greater prosperity and individual opportunity. But it also brings the growth of new demands and the decline of old ones, readjustments in Government programs, migration of people from rural to urban areas, and other changes that require difficult adjustments.
A fourth problem concerns jobs that remain undeveloped. Despite high levels of unemployment and vast numbers of new workers and workers being released from outmoded work, the desires and needs of many consumers, businesses, and communities for additional services are not being adequately met.
These are the immediate challenges for an affirmative manpower policy: to open the way to employment for the undereducated and poverty stricken; to provide our young people with opportunities for education, training, and constructive work experience needed for satisfying adult worklife; to ease the sting of change for displaced workers and disrupted communities; to develop and fill jobs, especially in the service occupations, to satisfy unmet needs in business, at home, and in the community.
We can and shall meet these challenges. But while I focus here on Federal Government activities, success can come only through cooperation and hard work at all levels of government and by all sectors of our society.
Many policies are involved. Economic policy will have to promote necessary overall economic growth. Policymaking related to scientific, social welfare, health, education, and other fields will have to recognize manpower implications and objectives.
THE CHALLENGES
Some of these challenges are not new. And we have responded to them already. Our progress to date provides a firm foundation for an increased effort in the future.
In 1964—as reflected in the accompanying manpower report from the Secretary of Labor—more men were working, producing greater abundance at higher wages and profits, than ever before in history. Employment was up more than a million and one-half over the previous year, the largest increase since the 1959 recovery from recession. There are now more than 70 million Americans engaged in civilian work.
Last year we also cut into the waste of our manpower. Unemployment was reduced by 300,000, to the lowest percentage of our work force during the last 7 years. Long-term unemployment also decreased, as did the number of people working part time who wished to work full time.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
209
UNEMPLOYMENT
But these lower unemployment levels do not indicate that we have eliminated waste of manpower and the hardship that accompanies such waste. In an average week during 1964, almost 3.9 million jobless persons sought and failed to find employment. Another 2.5 million who wanted full-time jobs could only find part-time work.
Many of our men and women on farms, though technically classified as “employed,” are underemployed. They are working at unacceptably low incomes, as are millions of other workers throughout the economy.
In 1964, the unemployment rate was reduced to 5.2 percent of the labor force; at the beginning of 1965, it stood at just under 5 percent. But it still is considerably higher than it had been in earlier post-World War II years.
The major problems of unemployment do not show up in these aggregate national figures. They show up in the sharp differences in unemployment rates between the undereducated and the highly educated, the unskilled and the skilled, the nonwhite and the white, and the young and the adult workers.
Workers who did not complete high school have unemployment rates nearly twice as high as those with more education, and five times as high as those who have gone through college.
Laborers and many types of semiskilled manual workers are unemployed at rates of two to three times the average for skilled and technical groups.
Unemployment of nonwhites, at nearly 10 percent, is more than twice as prevalent as for whites.
The unemployment rate for teenagers is almost 15 percent—over three times that for all adults and over five times as high as for married men. Nonwhite teenagers are unemployed at a shocking rate of over 25 percent.
Other concentrations of unemployment provide cause for alarm: jobless workers over the age of 45 remain unemployed far longer than do younger persons; more than 35 percent of the jobless in this age group remain unemployed 15 or more weeks; in some areas, joblessness and gross underemployment blight the lives of a quarter of the residents.
There is no simple solution, no single means of providing employment opportunities for all these disadvantaged Americans. For many, greater economic growth will create new opportunities. For many others who are chronically unemployed, or underemployed, there must be special assistance to overcome handicaps barring the way to employment.
YOUNG WORKERS
A recent study has indicated some of the handicaps compounding employment difficulties for young people out of school.
The first handicap is lack of a basic education. There are about 7 million young people between the ages of 16 and 21 who are out of school. Of these, 3 million dropped out before finishing high school; 1 million completed only elementary school or less.
One out of every four dropouts in the labor force could not find employment— twice the unemployment rate of the high school graduates.
A second handicap is lack of skills or work experience. About 65 percent of the dropouts and 40 percent of the graduates had no work experience during the years they were in school. Nine dropouts out of every 10 reported no job training after leaving school. High school graduates, on the other hand, were three times as likely to enter an occupational training program.
A third handicap is poverty: 4 dropouts of every 10 still living at home were in families with less than $3,000 annual income; only 2 high school graduates of every 10 came from such low-income families.
A fourth handicap is lack of knowledge of training and jobs that are available. Of every 10 high school dropouts, 8 reported that they had never been counseled by a school official or by a public employment office about job training or the kind of work to look for. Even among high school graduates, less than half reported that they had received occupational guidance.
A final handicap is the sharp increase in the number of new young jobseekers— crowding into a work force already containing high teenage unemployment.
CHANGE: MANPOWER RESOURCES
In 1965, the number of 18- and 19-year-old workers is expected to increase by 500,000—twice the increase of last year. Succeeding waves of new young workers will swell the 18-to-24-year-old work force by more than 3 million in the next 5 years, an increase two-thirds higher than in the past 5 years.
But the increase in the size of the work force will not be confined to young ages alone. Overall, the labor force is expected to grow by iy2 million workers in the next 5 years—50 percent greater than in the last 5 years.
There will be many more workers in those categories confronted by major employment difficulties—particularly non whites and older workers.
Negroes presently constitute only 10 percent of the work-age population, but they may account for 18 percent of the coming manpower increase. In the next 5 years, almost a million and a half nonwhites will be added to the work force; less than 800,000 were added during the last 5 years. The marked increase of nonwhites in the labor force will intensify the need for eliminating discrimination in employment, training, and education opportunities.
The increase of men age 55 or older in the labor force will require more attention to solving problems of discrimination against older workers. It will raise the importance of retraining and reemploying those with substantial but outmoded skills.
CHANGE: REQUIREMENTS
In our dynamic economy, occupational demands change continually: New skills are needed; old ones become outmoded; individual companies and industries often contract or expand rapidly. As
a result, there are always some workers seeking new employment and some employers seeking new workers. Fluctuations in area growth rates and patterns often lead workers to relocate in order to find or fill job needs.
Too often this change requires workers to undergo dislocation, joblessness, or underemployment. It requires employers to experience unfilled job needs. These burdens and wastes can be minimized substantially by improving the mechanisms for anticipating and aiding needed adjustment to change.
We cannot pinpoint the timing, magnitude, and location of specific changes, but we can interpret broad underlying trends. We can do much to prepare to meet these trends more effectively.
We know that the growth of technology will change the content of many jobs and intensify the need for adaptation and retraining. But the impact of technology on total employment is not foreordained. That remains for us to shape and determine. New technology will not soon curtail need for human labor. Its impact varies by industry, expanding manpower requirements in many industries even while contracting in others.
We know too that we must have large quantities of highly trained manpower in many professional and technical fields if we are to obtain the rate and types of growth we seek for the future. We are now giving more attention to preparing for manpower requirements that will result from major public programs recommended this year.
In the long run, the need for semiskilled production workers and for many types of unskilled workers will continue to shrink in relation to demand in other occupational fields.
Here, we can learn from the experience of 1964. This was the best year for economic and employment growth in this decade; there was a marked increase in the employment of semiskilled production workers and even a small increase in employment of laborers.
But this upturn did not change the long-term trend: most of the employment rise and the greatest rates of increase in 1964 were not in goods production industries, but in trade, services, and State and local government activities. The sharpest upturns in demand continued to be in clerical, professional, and technical occupations.
Demand for agricultural workers will continue to decline, releasing farm manpower for other sectors of the economy. During World War II, one worker of every six in the Nation was employed on the farm. Today only 1 worker in 16 is so employed. The skills required for farm employment are becoming less manual and more mechanical, scientific, technical, and managerial.
In many service fields, there is high and rising demand as consumers spend a growing proportion of rising incomes for various services. But this demand often remains unfulfilled for lack of qualified workers.
Demand for repair services, home maintenance, and hospital and other community services, for example, often
210
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 8
goes unmet because trained workers and efficient firms to provide these services are in short supply.
The service industries provide new challenges for the development of new business enterprises and jobs to put to rewarding use more of the manpower no longer needed for industrial and farm production.
ACTIONS STARTED
Our general progress is no accident. Purposeful action is paying off and building the base for further advance.
The tax cut of 1964 met an immediate and vital objective: it helped generate more jobs. It rapidly spurred consumer and business demand and, in turn, expansion of employment to produce for that demand. It was the prime new moving force in last year’s substantial employment upturn. My economic report outlines more specifically how it and other economic policies will continue to buttress general growth.
Many other actions have been initiated to meet many and varying manpower needs, but three efforts have been in the forefront in tackling the major challenges: the strengthening of education; the opening of the war on poverty; the start of the major program for training the unemployed and underemployed.
First, the education measures enacted by the last Congress are aiding a long-needed substantial expansion of both college education and vocational education. The principal focus of the legislation enacted thus far has been on: construction of facilities needed for universities, colleges, community colleges, technical and vocational schools; increasing and improving training for specific professions, most notably undermanned medical, dental, nursing and other health professions, and specialized teaching fields; support for more students to continue higher education through loans and fellowships; expansion and modernization of vocational education at the high school and post-high-school levels, particularly in fields with expanding manpower requirements.
These steps will provide many long-run returns, but immediate values too are evident. More young people are being encouraged to pursue higher education rather than become part of a large undertrained young labor force seeking full-time employment. And more employment opportunities are being generated by higher education’s expanding demand for construction, services, and supply activities.
In the longer run, these education programs will better equip our youth for the challenge of constructively shaping and adapting to future economic change. And they will help to develop the increased numbers of better prepared professional, technical, and other highly trained manpower required by an advancing society.
Second, under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, the war on poverty puts high priority on providing useful work experience, education, and skill development for disadvantaged youth and undereducated, jobless adults. Programs
are moving ahead to establish: Rural conservation centers and urban residential centers to provide work experience and training away from home for young people who now live in environments which severely hamper their opportunities; work experience and training opportunities in public and nonprofit agencies to help potential or actual high school dropouts to continue or resume education to increase their employability; work opportunities to help needy college students earn their way through college; community action programs which seek, through locally conceived actions ranging from preschool programs for needy children to new types of work programs, to bring in more of those still left out of our record prosperity; basic education and literacy training for the uneducated; work experience projects to help adults on public assistance pave their way to self-support.
And, third, training and retraining for the unemployed and underemployed under the Manpower Development and Training Act is providing another practical tool, in cooperation with the conventional education system and vocational schooling, to adapt skills of the labor force to changing needs.
This program is designed to equip unemployed workers, as well as underemployed farmworkers, with specific occupational training required for available jobs. It is giving thousands of jobless workers a new lease on working life— and is meeting employer demand for qualified manpower.
It is heightening awareness of workers and employers to values of occupational training. It is leading to new training techniques. And, utilizing the initiative of local groups, it is building in every State and hundreds of communities a base of retraining knowledge and experience to meet better the challenge of shifts in skill requirements.
In recent months more of the training opportunities are reaching the young, the nonwhites, the poorly educated, and the long-term unemployed—those with the greatest unemployment difficulties.
Beyond these three basic efforts, I want to summarize briefly other important actions newly initiated to meet today’s and tomorrow’s manpower challenges.
Equal employment opportunity: One way of getting at the employment difficulties afflicting much of the Negro population and other minority groups is to eliminate the discrimination which has excluded too many from the general progress. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 has established as the law of the land that racial and other discrimination in employment shall not blemish the future as it has the past.
Youth services: We are developing additional ways of reaching constructively many of the urban and rural young people who need jobs, training, additional education, and other assistance to become self-supporting adults and contributing members of society.
Youth opportunity centers are being set up, as part of the Federal-State em
ployment service system and youth programs in community action organizations aided by the Office of Economic Opportunity, to assist large numbers not now adequately being reached. Through special services established in or near disadvantaged neighborhoods, they will provide these young people with counseling, testing, information, and appropriate referral to training programs and placement services.
Apprenticeship information centers have been established in nine cities to work with labor and management in assisting young people to take advantage of opportunities for training as craftsmen. Particular emphasis is being placed on opportunities for minority youth.
Young men are being given selective service examinations at the earliest opportunity in order to identify as soon as possible educational or physical deficiencies which would disqualify them for military service. Those who cannot meet the minimum military requirements are being offered aid by the public employment service and other agencies in obtaining education, rehabilitation assistance, job training, job finding, and other needed services.
Appraisal of policies: To evaluate the broad currents of change and help determine how to meet them in a coordinated manner, there have been established a Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress. Its 14 distinguished members, drawn from outside the Government, will examine our technological course, its likely impact on our way of life, and means of channeling technical progress toward meeting unfilled needs of our people. It is to present its report and recommendations by next January; the President’s Committee on Manpower, composed of principal Federal executives. It is providing a continuing assessment of the interrelation of Federal programs and the country’s manpower resources and requirements; an Interagency Committee on Education, composed of representatives of Federal agencies with major education activities. It is serving to review and coordinate Federal policies and programs affecting education.
Communities with major shutdowns: Change can also come when a community is hit by shutdown of a major plant or facility. Experience in many communities has demonstrated that normal mechanisms cannot cope with such economic reversal expeditiously—and we should not rely on time alone to heal economic sores. I have set up a Presidential Task Force on Community Assistance to offer assistance.
On request from a stricken or threatened community, the task force will help draw on the knowledge and resources of Federal agencies to supplement those of local representatives to meet the economic disaster, much as is done when natural catastrophe now strikes an area.
Unfilled manpower requirements: To overcome and prevent unemployment, we must improve information on current and prospective manpower needs. A new
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
211
program for identifying job vacancies has been started. Pilot surveys have been initiated in 16 major communities to collect information on the extent and nature of unfilled job openings by occupation, so that steps can be taken more effectively to match unemployed workers and vacant jobs.
Farm labor: Another measure to match our needs and our manpower stems from termination of the legislation which had authorized temporary importation of Mexican farmworkers. To help employers make the transition to employment of American workers, a major recruiting effort is underway to attract unemployed American workers to fill seasonal farm jobs, at wage levels and working conditions consistent with American standards.
In another notable action, the Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act will provide needed protection for domestic migrant farmworkers by requiring crew leaders to observe certain minimum standards.
Federal Government as employer: It is my intention to have the employment policies of the executive branch of the Government set a constructive example for all employers. I am glad to report that in the past year: operating effectiveness has been improved, without unreasonable burdens on individual employees. Employees facing displacement are helped to adjust by retraining, by transfer and relocation assistance, and by the use of attrition and phasing out rather than abrupt closedown of activities no longer needed; a new manpower analysis program is assessing Federal staffing needs as a basis for efficient program planning and management. The first analysis and projection have been completed for major white-collar occupations; fair employment programs are opening better opportunities for qualified Negroes; they have progressed in larger numbers than ever before into middle and upper salary levels of Federal service; qualified women have moved into higher level positions at an accelerated pace; productive employment opportunity in Federal service is being offered by a new program for mentally retarded persons, as an extension of the longstanding program for employing handicapped persons.
ACTIONS NEEDED
Our progress is cause for pride, but not for pause. Affirmative policy recognizes that vast tasks remain undone.
Far too many Americans still are unemployed and underemployed. Far too many lack skills or assistance needed to enter rewarding employment. Far too many are overwhelmed by change instead of being enabled to ride it to new heights. They are unable to contribute or to share adequately in our unexcelled general prosperity.
And far too many children and young adults are headed for similar underachievement—and waste of their potential contribution to a better society—if we do not do better by them.
We must open opportunity, genuine opportunity for each of them—opportunity to learn and opportunity to earn in
keeping with all their potential. Only then can we truly say and truly know that the Great Society is within our reach.
Our economic policies have a vital role in this task. The 1966 Federal budget provides for new tax changes and expenditure programs which will help fortify the stimulus to economic growth and employment provided by last year’s tax legislation.
As my economic message sets forth, revision of excise taxes and increases in social security benefits this year will bolster needed current and future job growth. So will the change in depreciation rules being made this year to avert an increase in business taxes.
But, as I have also emphasized, fiscal and monetary steps to achieve the full measure of needed growth may encounter problems of inflationary pressures before unemployment targets are reached.
This makes it even more essential that we intensify efforts to improve the caliber of our work force and the effectiveness of our mechanisms for helping match jobs and men.
As we open up new demand and opportunity for work, we must be able to respond by having workers move into such jobs without delay—so that we can move on to full employment without inflation or adverse balance-of-payments effects.
Active manpower policy to upgrade the capacities of the work force and to improve means of bringing workers and jobs together is therefore needed to supplement economic policy to achieve economic growth.
This is why, along with my fiscal program, I have recommended that we build our manpower programs. I urge that we now: Increase investment in education to build basic abilities for all; enlarge occupational training opportunities for the poor, the young, the unemployed, and the underemployed; broaden job development activities to provide new jobs to meet unmet needs; improve assistance and protection for those bypassed or left behind in the general prosperity.
Details of most of the recommendations have already been presented to the Congress. In brief summary:
Education has immediate high priority. Many manpower difficulties can be traced to educational deficiencies.
Today’s and tomorrow’s world of work puts a premium on capacity for skill development—and for redevelopment to meet increasingly frequent changes throughout life. Education is the prime developer of such capacity, as well as of ability to use leisure time enjoyably, and to attain a higher level of life generally.
The educational program I have urged will bring better education to those who need it most. It will improve our educational methods and resources. It will provide greater opportunity for learning at every age level. And it will help insure availability of the highly trained talent needed to spur and sustain broad national advance.
The war on poverty must now be enlarged. Its beginnings have stirred hope and effort.
For the next year I have asked for funds which would permit some 600,000 needy youngsters and adults to be enrolled in the work experience and training programs initiated under the Economic Opportunity Act.
I seek also to help some 300 cities and rural localities mobilize community action antipoverty programs, particularly for children and youth. These efforts would seek in new ways to combat economic and social handicaps which contribute to manpower waste and poverty.
Manpower training must be strengthened. Several major changes are now warranted in the Manpower Development and Training Act.
The feasibility and value of public investment in skill training for the unemployed and underemployed have become apparent. This act need no longer be considered temporary. I have asked that it be put on a continuing basis.
The States were to meet a third of training costs under the act next year. I am asking that this be modified to permit the Federal share to be up to 90 percent, so that the program can be carried forward without disruption.
I have urged also that we strengthen authority to experiment with and demonstrate new wTays of surmounting barriers to skill development for the unemployed and underemployed, lengthen the maximum period of training allowances and liberalize allowance practices, and extend pilot efforts to aid unemployed workers through geographic relocation.
I have requested, too, that we enlarge investment in manpower research, including the establishment of regional manpower research centers, to develop the new knowledge and techniques needed to improve our manpower programs and to train more manpower specialists.
Job-development activities must also be increased. I have recommended expanded efforts under the Manpower Act to help develop many service employment opportunities now wasted because of lack of trained workers and lack of managerial skills necessary to provide such services efficiently.
Our people seek improved services—in home and equipment maintenance and repair, in the hospitals, in our eating places, and in a wide range of personal services. But a large part of such demand remains unmet.
My recommendations seek to tap these areas of job opportunity by offering assistance to the business community and to unemployed workers to take the organizational and training steps necessary to make these potential opportunities materialize into fruitful employment and service.
Area and regional recovery programs are also needed to overcome adverse effects of geographic shifts. Additional job-creating efforts must be focused in areas lagging behind in employment opportunity. This requires comprehensive action to revitalize major regions hampered by large concentrations of poverty and joblessness.
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE	March 8
212
I propose that we strengthen and improve programs initiated under the Area Redevelopment Act.
The Appalachian redevelopment program will inaugurate a farsighted development effort in this hard-hit region.
Employment services must be improved to strengthen national ability to adapt to changing manpower needs. I have recommended increases in budget to strengthen the present Federal-State employment service system’s ability to provide information, counseling, recruiting, placement, and other assistance required for more effective bringing together of workers and employers.
Minimum wage and overtime protection should be extended to protect the unprotected. I will propose extension of coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act for this vital purpose.
Unemployment insurance has to be modernized. Present benefit coverage and levels do not adequately ease the financial blow of job loss. The changes I will propose are needed to better sustain the income of workers during the gaps between jobs and to add to the stability of the economy.
Other recommended programs of major new economic and social action are also directly relevant to our manpower concerns. Improvements recommended in public assistance, social insurance, and medical care programs will contribute to the employability of many of our people.
The reforms I have requested in immigration policy will base admission to this country chiefly on skills and talent rather than place of origin. Such change would be both true to our ideals and advantageous to our need for trained manpower.
And more broadly, I have asked that we undertake programs to rebuild our cities and conserve our countryside, to provide areas for recreation, to modernize mass transit systems, to improve our health, to control pollution.
Each has many manpower implications—but above all each will help build the Great Society and, in so doing, will open vast new opportunities to utilize our growing manpower constructively.
CONCLUSION
Much that I have reported and recommended here has a short-term focus, and necessarily so if today’s actions are to meet immediate challenges.
But beyond seeking to master the current challenges, the directions charted here will move us further toward a vision, newly sensed, even if not yet wholly perceived.
That vision is a new relationship between man and work—to be made possible by advances in man’s power to develop and apply his capacities and new technological capabilities.
In the Great Society, work shall be an outlet for man’s interests and desires. Each individual shall have full opportunity to use his capacities in employment which satisfies personally and contributes generally to the quality of the Nation’s life.
That is the future to which we reach, the goal to which active manpower policy must evolve along with companion policies.
The way there is hardly clear. But we should not underestimate our potential for a rapid pace, lest we fall short of the attainable: seeking little, we will get little and deserve little.
We will have to try, adapt, try anew, and adapt again, but always on to this goal, always on until what is now too often only a dream—that no human talent shall go to waste, that each man shall have full opportunity to be all he can be—can become a reality for all.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
CRIME
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
To the Congress of the United States:
Crime has become a malignant enemy in America’s midst.
Since 1940 the crime rate in this country has doubled. It has increased five times as fast as our population since 1958.
In dollars the cost of crime runs to tens of billions annually. The human costs are simply not measurable.
The problems run deep and will not yield to quick and easy answers. We must identify and eliminate the causes of criminal activity whether they lie in the environment around us or deep in the nature of individual men. This is a major purpose of all we are doing in combating poverty and improving education, health, welfare, housing, and recreation.
All these are vital, but they are not enough. Crime will not wait while we pull it up by the roots. We must arrest and reverse the trend toward lawlessness.
This active combat against crime calls for a fair and efficient system of law enforcement to deal with those who break our laws. It means giving new priority to the methods and institutions of law enforcement—
To our police, who are our frontline, both offensive and defensive, in the fight against crime. There is a great need not only for improved training of policemen but for all people to learn about, to understand, and to assist the policeman in his work;
To our courts, traditionally the symbol and guardian of our cherished freedoms. Local criminal courts are so overloaded that their functioning is impeded and their effectiveness weakened. More courts and judges is one answer, but every possibility of improvement must be explored; and
To our correctional agencies. We cannot tolerate an endless, self-defeating cycle of imprisonment, release, and reimprisonment which fails to alter undesirable attitudes and behavior. We must find ways to help the first offender avoid a continuing career of crime.
No right is more elemental to our society than the right to personal security
and no right needs more urgent protection.
Our streets must be safe. Our homes and places of business must be secure. Experience and wisdom dictate that one of the most legitimate functions of government is the preservation of law and order.
Our system rejects the concept of a national police force. The protection responsibilities lie primarily with State and local governments.
That is right and proper.
Yet, crime is no longer merely a local problem. Every city, every State is troubled by the same hard statistical—and human—facts. The extent and seriousness of the problem have made it of great national concern.
Crime is as old as history. It is hardly new to America. But in our increasingly mobile, urban society, crime problems are not only greater, they are immensely more complex.
We have not stood idly by in the face of these problems. Many cities and States, as well as the Federal Government, have developed new programs reflecting their growing concern.
Yet the crime rate continues to increase.
The time has come now, to check that growth, to contain its spread, and to reduce its toll of lives and property.
I believe the way to do so is to give new recognition to the fact that crime is a national problem and to intensify our crime prevention and crime fighting at all levels of government.
THE ROLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL
The starting point for such efforts is the individual citizen. Law enforcement cannot succeed without the sustained— and informed—interest of all citizens.
It is not enough to reflect our concern over the rise in crime by seeking out single answers or simple answers. They do not exist. The people will get observance of the law and enforcement of the law if they want it, insist on it, and participate in it.
It has been said, for example, that the fault lies with courts which “coddle criminals,” or, on the other hand, that police officers do not observe the rights of the individual.
There is misunderstanding at times between law enforcement officers and some courts. We need to think less, however, about taking sides in such controversies and more about our common objective: law enforcement which is both fair and effective. We are not prepared in our democratic system to pay for improved law enforcement by unreasonable limitations on the individual protections which ennoble our system. Yet there is the undoubted necessity that society be protected from the criminal and that the rights of society be recognized along with the rights of the individual.
As Mr. Justice Frankfurter once said, “A democratic society, in which respect for the dignity of all men is central, naturally guards against the misuse of the law-enforcement process.”
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
213
It has been said that the fault lies in poor living conditions, limited education, and the denial of opportunity.
Plainly, laws are less likely to command the respect of those forced to live at the margins of our society. Stability and ordei’ have little meaning and small advantage to those who exist in poverty, hopelessness, and despair.
The longrun solution to this view of crime is jobs, education, and hope. This is a goal to which this country is now committed. But we should remember that not all crime is committed by those who are impoverished or those denied equal opportunity. In any event, we cannot postpone our responsibilities to act against crimes committed today.
It has also been said that the fault lies in a deep moral decay, particularly among the young; that juvenile delinquency and high crime rates among young adults have their origins in this decay.
In our increasingly complex society, it is becoming harder to perceive and maintain clear moral values. But the great majority of our young people lead law-abiding, creative lives. We need only look to the spirit which characterizes our youth today—the spirit of the Peace Corps, of VISTA, of commitment to the well-being and welfare of society. While crime by young people in our society is of very serious concern, it involves only a small proportion of our youth.
We must, in short, understand that the reasons for the growth of crime are many and complicated. We must accept hard facts at every turn. But like the related problems of poverty and of education, we must face them squarely if we are to succeed. And we must succeed.
Thus, while recognizing that the basic responsibility rests on local authorities, we must also recognize the burdens they now bear. To assist them in bearing these burdens successfuly, I propose—
Increased Federal law enforcement efforts;
Assistance to local law enforcement efforts;
A comprehensive, penetrating analysis of the origins and nature of crime in modern America.
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS
The average citizen is most directly concerned with what is called crime in the streets. Crime of this kind—robberies, muggings, housebreakings—are the primary law enforcement responsibility of State and local governments. When criminals cross State lines, however, Federal enforcement is also available. Thus, Federal, State, and local investigators may all join to pursue the bank robber, the kidnaper, or the auto thief. Federal assistance in this activities has been and can continue to be helpful.
In some areas, however, the Federal Government has a special responsibility—organized crime, narcotic and drug control, regulation of gun sales, and law enforcement activities in the District of Columbia.
1.	Organized crime
Organized crime is a cancer in the city. It has become an entrenched national industry. It embraces gambling, narcotics, stock and bankruptcy fraud, usurious loans, or corruption of public officials or labor-management relations.
Racketeering feeds on itself. Illegal gambling, for example, channels enormous profits to other criminal arenas. The citizen is the loser.
Organized crime also breeds lesser crime. The police in our large cities know from daily experience how much street crime results, for example, from narcotics addiction.
Perhaps the most alarming aspect of organized crime, however, is that it erodes respect for the law. Corrupting a public official may lend respectability to the racketeer, as it destroys the underpinning of law enforcement in a community.
Since 1961, the Federal Government has responded to this challenge in force. We have secured new legislative authority. We have achieved new levels of cooperation among the 26 different Federal law enforcement agencies. We have achieved new prosecutive energy. The result has been a tenfold increase in racketeering convictions.
But this accomplishment represents a mere beginning. Much remains to be done.
Consequently, I am calling on the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the other heads of the Federal law-enforcement arms to enlarge their energetic effort against organized crime. The Department of Justice will submit legislative proposals to the Congress to strengthen and expand these efforts generally.
I urge the prompt enactment of these measures.
2.	Drug control
The return of narcotic and marihuana users to useful, productive lives is of obvious benefit to them and to society at large. But at the same time, it is essential to assure adequate protection of the general public.
To meet these objectives, the President’s Advisory Commission on Narcotic and Drug Abuse recommended enactment of a Federal civil commitment statute to provide an alternative means of dealing with those narcotic and marihuana users likely to respond to treatment and achieve rehabilitation. The Commission also recommended that those penalty provisions of the Federal narcotics and marihuana laws requiring mandatory minimum sentences and precluding probation or parole be applied restrictively in order to provide a greater incentive for rehabilitation.
The Justice Department will shortly submit proposals for a Federal civil commitment statute to the Congress and for limiting the coverage of the mandatory minimum penalty sentences. The proposals will seek to the fullest extent consistent with the public safety to give offenders a maximum opportunity for return to a normal life.
Increasing illegal sales of psychotoxic drugs, such as barbiturates and amphetamines, must be controlled. These sedatives and stimulants, taken so easily in pill form, have been termed the “dangerous drugs”—and with good reason. Senseless killings, robberies, and auto accidents have resulted from the radical personality changes induced by the indiscriminate use of these drugs. Because they are less expensive and more available than narcotics, these drugs appeal to a much broader cross section of our population, particularly the young.
Our existing legal weapons are inadequate. I therefore urge the Congress to enact legislation to control the abuse of these dangerous drugs without constricting their legitimate medical uses.
3.	Firearms control
Drugs are, of course, only one cause of the rise in violent crime in the United States. Another significant factor is the ease with which any person can acquire firearms. Lee Oswald sent for and received a rifle through the U.S. mail. I believe that the people of the United States have learned, through the recent tragic loss of President Kennedy, the need for strengthened control.
Here the Federal Government’s jurisdiction is limited. State and local action will be necessary. But at minimum, we must make effective local regulation of firearms possible by increasing Federal control over interstate shipment of firearms. In addition, limits must be imposed on the importation into this country of surplus military weapons and other used firearms.
I am proposing draft legislation to accomplish these aims. It would amend the Federal Firearms Act to prohibit firearms shipments in interstate commerce except among importers, manufacturers, and dealers licensed by the Treasury Department.
Mail-order sales to individuals would thus stop. The legislation would also strengthen the present statutory standards for Treasury Department licenses and prohibit licensees from selling firearms to persons under 21 years of age (or under 18 in the case of rifles and shotguns). Other provisions of this legislation are designed to make it feasible for the States to impose effective controls over firearms within their own boundaries. I urge the Governors of our States and mayors and other local public officials to review their existing legislation in this critical field with a view to keeping lethal weapons out of the wrong hands.
I recommend this legislation to the Congress as a sensible use of Federal authority to assist local authorities in coping with an undeniable menace to law and order and to the lives of innocent people.
4.	District of Columbia
A fourth opportunity of Federal leadership is the Nation’s Capital. As I said in my special message on the District of Columbia, we must improve law enforcement and the administration of
214
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 8
criminal justice in the District. Washington shares with our large cities the special and acute problems associated with rapid urban population growth.
Both in its own right and as a model for other cities, Washington can and should be a focus for intensive efforts in crime prevention, the detection and prosecution of crimes, rehabilitation, and related activities.
To assist in this effort, I will shortly appoint the Commission to which I referred in my message on the District of Columbia.
ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Whatever we may do to strengthen Federal law enforcement, the principal enforcement responsibility still rests on State and local governments—and that has become a very large burden indeed.
The cost of operating our police departments has risen by 50 percent in the last 5 years alone. Yet our law enforcement and corrections personnel are overworked. Our courts are overcrowded. Our penal and rehabilitative facilities and programs are understaffed or underdeveloped. To meet their large and growing burdens, State and local law enforcement agencies must have additional training and technical assistance from the Federal Government.
Federal assistance has long been provided in various forms to local law enforcement. Because of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover’s early recognition of the need for such assistance, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided a number of valuable services to State and local police organizations. It assists them with training activities and the FBI National Academy in Washington gives comprehensive instructions to State and local career law-enforcement officers each year. The Federal Government also provides support for short-term vocational training for police officers and more extensive training in related fields through the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Treasury Department provides instruction for narcotics enforcement personnel through the Bureau of Narcotics Training School.
The Federal Government has been giving active support to juvenile delinquency control efforts. Under the Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Offenses Control Act, programs have been developed to provide new approaches to the prevention and control of juvenile delinquency and to train needed personnel. Under this act important studies have shed new light on the complex causes of delinquency.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare will shortly submit requests for urgently needed additional appropriations in this field. I support these proposals and request the Congress to act on them favorably and rapidly.
These are present and continuing endeavors. But we must do more. I believe a major opportunity lies in the development and testing of experimental methods of crime control. To this end, I am proposing the Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 1965. This legislation
would authorize the Attorney General to assist State, local, and private groups to improve and strengthen crime control programs and make generally available information as to their effectiveness.
This act would bolster present training programs for local law enforcement personnel and would support the development of new training methods. Fighting crime effectively under modern conditions requires professional police who are expertly trained in a variety of skills. The Federal Government now provides financial assistance for research and training in other professions—science, mathematics, foreign languages, medicine, nursing. Trained, professional law enforcement personnel are fully as essential to the preservation of our national health and strength—and no less deserving of increased Federal support.
This legislation would also authorize Federal support for the development of improved methods of enforcing criminal laws and administering justice. For example, experiments might be undertaken with different kinds and intensity of police coverage in high crime districts in order to learn more about the effective allocation of manpower. The effectiveness of different communication and alarm systems might be studied. By pilot projects in the administration of justice, we may find ways of making the judicial process fairer and speedier and the correctional process more effective.
The dissemination of information about projects supported under the Law Enforcement Assistance Act will be of substantial value to other communities in designing their own crime control programs.
PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION
The proposals which I have discussed are promising immediate approaches to a number of the specific problems of controlling crime. In the longer run we must also deepen our understanding of the causes of crime and of how our society should respond to the challenge of our present levels of crime. Only with such understanding can we undertake more fundamental, far-reaching, and imaginative programs.
As the first step, I am establishing the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice. The Commission will be composed of men and women of distinction who share my belief that we need to know far more about the prevention and control of crime. I will ask the Commission to make a comprehensive report to me by the summer of 1966 and to make interim reports when early action on the basis of its recommendations may be possible.
No agency of government has ever in our history undertaken to probe so fully and deeply into the problems of crime in our Nation. I do not underestimate the difficulty of the assignment. But the very difficulty which these problems present and the staggering cost of inaction make it imperative that this task be undertaken.
It is of the utmost importance that the people of this country understand what is at stake in controlling crime and its
effects. I believe, therefore, that the Commission should disseminate information on its work and findings and build a broad base of public support for constructive action.
Typical of the examples of important and troubling questions on which I believe the Commission can furnish guidance are—
(1) How can law enforcement be organized to meet present needs?
In too many instances present divisions of responsibility for law enforcement reflect unexamined precedent rather than practical organization. In addition to exploring improved law enforcement and correctional techniques, the Commission can be helpful in suggesting possible reorganization of law enforcement functions and methods of achieving greater cooperation where there are separate responsibilities.
(2) What steps can be taken to create greater understanding by those involved in the administration of justice at the State and local level of the efforts of Federal courts to insure pro-■ tection of individual rights?
The Commission should seek understanding of the needs of those responsible for carrying out our criminal laws and the relationship to these needs of the historic protections our Nation has accorded to the accused. The Commission may well serve as a bridge of understanding among all those involved in the fair and effective administration of criminal justice.
(3) Through what kinds of programs can the Federal Government be most effective in assisting State and local enforcement?
The Commission can recommend new and imaginative ways in which the Federal Government can render assistance— without infringing on the primary responsibility of States and localities.
(4) Is the Nation as a whole providing adequate education and training opportunities for those who administer the criminal laws?
The Commission should evaluate the programs and institutions now available for law-enforcement officers, correctional personnel, and both prosecution and defense attorneys and make recommendations on necessary additions.
(5) What correctional programs are most promising in preventing a first offense from leading to a career in crime?
A large proportion of serious crimes is committed by persons who are previous offenders. Thus, reducing the total volume of crime is, to a large extent, a problem of reducing the rate of recidivism. The first offender’s initial contact with our correctional system is often a turning point in his life. The Commission should consider how we can best insure that his first contact will be his last.
(6) What steps can be taken to increase public respect for law and law-enforcement officers?
In a free land, order can never be achieved by police action alone, no matter how efficient. There must be a high level of voluntary observance of the law
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
and cooperation with public authorities. Citizens too often shun their duty to report crimes, summon assistance, or cooperate with law enforcement in other ways. In the light of recent examples of what happens when private citizens remain bystanders at tragedy, I hope the Commission will suggest means of improving public attitudes toward the individual’s sense of responsibility to his community and to his neighbor.
These questions only illustrate those which this Commission must put to itself. It must also—
Consider the problem of making our streets, homes, and places of business safer;
Inquire into the special problems of juvenile crime;
Examine the administration of justice in our shockingly overcrowded lower courts through which so many citizens are herded wholesale;
Explore the means by which organized crime can be arrested by Federal and local authorities.
In its task, the Commission will not be working alone. In addition to its own staff and subpanels of experts in various fields and disciplines, it will have the close cooperation and support of representatives of the Federal Government.
I have directed the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity to work closely with the Commission and to assist it in every possible way. Because of the importance of the Attorney General’s responsibilities within the Federal Government for these problems—ranging from investigation and enforcement through administration of the Federal prison system—I anticipate that the Department of Justice and 'especially its newly created Office of Criminal Justice should take a particularly active role in assisting the work of the Commission.
The Commission also will work closely with representatives of State and local government; with such groups as the American Bar Association, the American Law Institute, State and local bar groups and appropriate law enforcement organizations, and with universities and other institutions and individuals engaged in important work in the social sciences, mental health, and related areas.
The task before the Commission is one of consummate difficulty and complexity. But it could scarcely be more important. I hope and expect that its work will be a landmark to follow for many years to come.
CONCLUSION
This message recognizes that crime is a national problem.
That recognition does not carry with it any threat to the basic prerogatives of State and local governments. It means, rather, that the Federal Government will henceforth take a more meaningful role in meeting the whole spectrum of problems posed by crime.
It means that the Federal Government will seek to exercise leadership and to
assist local authorities in meeting their responsibilities.
It means that we will make a national effort to resolve the problems of law enforcement and the administration of justice—and to direct the attention of the Nation to the problems of crime and the steps that must be taken to meet them.
This effort will involve great difficulties.
It will not produce dramatic, visible results overnight. But it is an effort we must begin now.
I ask the help of the Congress. I believe that these actions and proposals are soundly based and give promise of meeting urgent needs of a growing nation. I commend them to the American people and to the Congress and urge their prompt enactment.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

EXPRESSING SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT NEW
YORK STATE SHOULD RAISE ITS LEGAL DRINKING AGE TO 21
Mr. CASE (for himself and Mr. Ribicoff) submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 24) ; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
Resolved by the Senate (.the House of Representatives concurring):
Whereas the State of New York is the only one of the fifty States which permits by law the sale of liquor to boys and girls of eighteen years of age; and
Whereas the five States which border on New York—New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont—together with the Government of Canada all restrict the sale of alcoholic beverages to persons twenty-one years of age or older; and
Whereas over the years, a thriving trade has developed at many points along the border of New York adjacent to its five neighboring States and Canada in which bars and taverns cater to teenagers from outside New York who are prohibited from purchasing and consuming alcoholic beverages by the laws of their own jurisdictions; and
Whereas many boys and girls as young as fourteen and fifteen years of age, and therefore manifestly immature, are able to misrepresent their age as eighteen and purchase and consume such alcoholic beverages in New York; and
Whereas the unsupervised and unrestricted drinking of alcoholic beverages by teenagers, in public and private, has been demonstrated to result in a variety of harmful, antisocial and immoral activities and behavior including, but not limited to, reckless and drunken driving, assaults upon persons and property and other forms of delinquency; and
Whereas teenage drinking in New York and the behavior associated with it have directly resulted in a growing number of deaths, injuries, and destruction of property in the States adjoining New York; and
Whereas the burdens on law enforcement officials in the jurisdictions adjacent to New York have increased proportionately and have necessitated such extraordinary procedures as the erection of roadblocks to apprehend teenagers returning from drinking in New York; and
Whereas the Governors of the several States, individually and in association with each other through such groups as the New England Governors Conference, together with other State officials outside New York have frequently and formally protested to the Governor and the
Legislature of New York that the disparity in minimum legal drinking ages has created serious health and safety problems for their respective States and have petitioned New York to raise its drinking age to twenty-one; and
Whereas, despite many official and unofficial studies of the issue and massive evidence of the need to increase the drinking age in New York from eighteen to twenty-one, the government of New York has failed to take appropriate action; and
Whereas the issue of teenage drinking in New York has for many years ceased to be an intrastate matter, of interest and concern solely to the people and the government of New York, and has had increasingly critical interstate effects and implications; and
Whereas the failure of New York to take remedial action and its persistence in providing havens wherein young people from outside the State can obtain alcoholic beverages denied them in their own States has caused a severe strain in the official relations between New York and its neighboring States; and
Whereas the only practicable means of resolving the dispute is for the State of New York to raise its legal minimum drinking age to twenty-one; and
Whereas Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States, as elected officials representing the people of their respective States and districts, have an interest in the teenage drinking problem arising from their obligation to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people they represent; and
Whereas serious constitutional questions might be raised with respect to any attempt by the Congress to legislate directly with regard to the transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages within the several States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America hereby express their—•
(1)	concern at the evidence of the harmful effects on young people, the growing threat to highway safety, and the deteriorating relations between the several States directly resulting from New York State’s minimum legal drinking age of eighteen; and
(2)	support of the efforts of responsible officials of the several States adjoining New York to persuade the State of New York to raise its drinking age from eighteen to twenty-one.
Sec. 2. It is the sense of the Senate and House of Representatives that the Governor and the Legislature of the State of New York, in the interests of harmony and cooperation between the States, of the promotion of highway safety, and of the health, safety and welfare of the people of the States bordering on New York, should take appropriate action at the earliest practicable time to raise the State’s minimum legal drinking age from eighteen to twenty-one.

restatement of U.S. foreign policy
Mr. TOWER submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 25); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas the mission of the United States must be to secure victory over tyranny, the end of man’s enslavement of man, and the ultimate impotence of all concentrations of power which may now or hereafter threaten the peace of the world and the freedom of its peoples; and
Whereas this purpose should be enunciated in such a way that whatever enemies we face cannot mistake it, so that the people we represent may determine their own support, and so that the enslaved peoples of the earth may find hope for a future in which their freedom, and the w’hole cause of freedom, is not sacrificed for safety but instead is consecrated as the central cause of our time and all times: Therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the purpose of the United States in its relations with other nations of the world should
(1)	To make the world secure for free peoples and those who aspire to self-determination; reaffirming that the United States does not seek to impose its political and economic system upon any nation which does not want that system;
(2)	To oppose by all effective means the growth of any power dedicated to aggression or the denial of freedom to its own or any other peoples;
(3)	To oppose communism’s worldwide efforts to subvert nations and peoples by the most effective means available;
(4)	To support for all nations submitted to Soviet, Communist Chinese, or
other Communist control since 1939, the right of free choice of government, after proper preparation and under appropriate electoral supervision;
(5)	To press by all diplomatic means for the withdrawal of Soviet, Communist Chinese, or other Communist forces, both uniformed and covert, from all areas entered by them since 1939;
(6)	To reduce Communist war machines, and the economies which support them, to levels at which they can no longer threaten the peace of the world;
(7)	To fully arm, both in material and morally, ourselves for these tasks;
(8)	To support and fully defend those whose independence is threatened;
(9)	To support and assist those whose aspirations for freedom are challenged by internal or external forces whose ultimate path would lead to tyranny;
(10)	To counsel and assist those who, inexperienced in self-rule, are tempted by the promise of rapid growth to embrace coercive economic systems, that they may be preserved instead on the path of the only proven progress to freedom—that of individual dedication, dignity, initiative, and responsibility in a free capitalistic economy;
(11)	To enjoin all nations to a course of full commitment to self-determination; to discourage attitudes of benevolent neutrality which, when men are not free, debase all men, weaken all freedom, and work, not for peace but for the advantage of aggressors; and
(12)	To remind a world often fearfully unsure, that peace in our time depends, not upon the concessions of free nations, but upon their determination and upon the enemy’s assessment of that determination, that life itself is no more dear than the conditions of that life, and that freedom is the only tolerable human condition for the people of these United States and for the world at peace.
SENATE CONSIDERATION OF ANY DISARMAMENT PLANS
Mr. TOWER submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 26); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas the security of the United States and the strength of free world alliances are directly affected in any consideration of arms control and/or disarmament; and
Whereas the Eighteen-Nation Committee on Disarmament, meeting in Geneva, is considering steps toward general and complete disarmament; and
Whereas bilateral negotiations for the removal of intermediate range ballistic missiles are underway between the United States and several of its partners in the Atlantic alliance: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the American negotiating position in arms control or disarmament discussions include these safeguards:
(1)	Complete on-the-spot inspection of all areas involved in arms control or disarmament agreements with Members

of Congress included as members of the inspection team.
(2)	Reporting of the President of the United States to the appropriate committees of Congress, of any and all steps taken by him which would tend to alter existing ratios of weapons and the effectiveness between this Nation and its allies, and the Soviet bloc of nations.

Resolved, That Mr. James P. Kelly, former staff investigator, and Mr. Carmine Bellino, former consultant accountant, of the Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in the Labor or Management Field be authorized to appear and testify in the above-mentioned proceedings.
The Senate, by unanimous consent, proceeded to consider the said resolution; and

SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CHANGES IN OPERATING FREQUENCY IN STANDARD BROADCAST BAND
Mr. SMATHERS (for himself and Mr. Sparkman) submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 88); which was referred to the Committee on Commerce:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate of the United States of America that the operation of radio-broadcast stations in the standard broadcast band
(five hundred and fifty to one thousand six hundred kilocycles) with power in excess of fifty kilowatts is definitely against the public interest, in that such operation would tend to concentrate political, social, and economic power and influence in the hands of a very small group, and is against the public interest for the further reason that the operation of broadcast stations with power in excess of fifty kilowatts has been demonstrated to have adverse and injurious economic effects on other stations operating with less power, in depriving such stations of revenue and in limiting the ability of such stations to adequately or efficiently serve the social, religious, educational, civic, and other like organizations and institutions in the communities in which such stations are located and whch must and do depend on such stations for the carrying on of community welfare work generally; and be it further
Resolved, That it is therefore the sense of the Senate of the United States of America that the Federal Communications Commission should not adopt or promulgate rules to permit or otherwise allow any station operating on a frequency in the standard broadcast band (five hundred and fifty to one thousand six hundred kilocycles) to operate on a regular or other basis with power in excess of fifty kilowatts.

VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS
On motion by Mr. Mansfield, The Senate, at 8 o’clock and 32 minutes p.m., proceeded to the Hall of the House of Representatives, pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 352, to hear an address by the President of the United States; and
The two Houses being assembled,
The President of the United States addressed them as follows:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the Congress, I speak tonight for the dignity of man and the destiny of democracy.
I urge every member of both parties— Americans of all religions and of all colors—from every section of this country—to join me in that cause.
At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man’s unending search for freedom. So it was at Lexington and Concord. So it was a century ago at Appomattox. So it was last week in Selma, Ala.
There, long-suffering men and women peacefully protested the denial of their rights as Americans. Many were brutally assaulted. One good man—a man of God—was killed.
There was no cause for pride in what has happened in Selma.
There is no cause for self-satisfaction in the long denial of equal rights of millions of Americans.
But there is cause for hope and for faith in our democracy in what is happening here tonight.
For the cries of pain, and the hymns and protests of oppressed people, have summoned into convocation all the majesty of this great Government, the Government of the greatest Nation on earth.
Our mission is at once the oldest and most basic of this country: to right wrong, to do justice, to serve man.
In our time we have come to live with the moments of great crisis. Our lives have been marked with debate about great issues—issues of war and peace, issues of prosperity and depression. But rarely, in any time, does an issue lay bare the secret heart of America itself. Rarely are we met with the challenge, not to our growth or abundance, or our welfare or our security—but rather to the values and the purposes and the meaning of our beloved Nation.
The issue of equal rights for American Negroes is such an issue. And should we defeat every enemy, and should we double our wealth and conquer the stars and still be unequal to this issue, then we will have failed as a people and as a nation.
For with a country as with a person, “What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
There is no Negro problem. There is no southern problem. There is no northern problem. There is only an American problem.
And we are met here tonight as Americans—not as Democrats or Republicans—we are met here as Americans to solve that problem.
This was the first nation in the history of the world to be founded with a purpose. The great phrases of that purpose still sound in every American heart, north and south: “All men are created equal”—“Government by consent of the governed”—“Give me liberty or give me death.” And those are not just clever words and those are not just empty theories. In their name Americans have fought and died for two centuries and tonight around the world they stand there as guardians of our liberty risking their lives.
Those words are a promise to every citizen that he shall share in the dignity of man. This dignity cannot be found in a man’s possessions. It cannot be found in his power or in his position. It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others. It says that he shall share in freedom, he shall choose his leaders, educate his children, provide for his family according to his ability and his merits as a human being.
To apply any other test—to deny a man his hopes because of his color or race or his religion or the place of his birth—is not only to do injustice, it is to deny America and to dishonor the dead who gave their lives for American freedom.
Our fathers believed that if this noble view of the rights of man was to flourish, it must be rooted in democracy. The most basic right of all was the right to choose your own leaders. The history of this country in large measure, is the history of the expansion of that right to all of our people.
Many of the issues of civil rights are very complex and most difficult. But about this there can and should be no argument. Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to insure that right.
Yet the harsh fact is that in many places in this country men and women are kept from voting simply because they are Negroes.
Every device of which human ingenuity is capable has been used to deny this right. The Negro citizen may go to register only to be told that the day is wrong, or the hour is late, or the official in charge is absent.
And if he persists, and if he manages to present himself to the registrar, he may be disqualified because he did not spell out his middle name or because he abbreviated a word on the application.
And if he manages to fill out an application he is given a test. The registrar is the sole judge of whether he passes this test. He may be asked to recite the entire Constitution, or explain the most complex provisions of State law and even a college degree cannot be used to prove that he can read and write.
For the fact is that the only way to pass these barriers is to show a white skin.
Experience has clearly shown that the existing process of law cannot overcome systematic and ingenious discrimination. No law that we now have on the books— and I have helped to put three of them there—can insure the right to vote when local officials are determined to deny it.
In such a case our duty must be clear to all of us. The Constitution says that no person shall be kept from voting because of his race or his color. We have all sworn an oath before God to support and to defend that Constitution.
We must now act in obedience to that oath.
Wednesday I will send to Congress a law designed to eliminate illegal barriers to the right to vote.
The broad principles of that bill will be in the hands of the Democratic and Republican leaders tomorrow. After they have reviewed it, it will come here formally as a bill.
I am grateful for this opportunity to come here tonight at the invitation of the leadership to reason with my friends, to
1965	JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
give them my views, and to visit with my former colleagues.
I have had prepared a more comprehensive analysis of the legislation which I had intended to transmit to the Clerk tomorrow, but which I will submit to the Clerk tonight. But I want to really discuss with you now, briefly, the main proposals of this legislation.
This bill will strike down restrictions to voting in all elections—Federal, State, and local—which have been used to deny Negroes the right to vote.
This bill will establish a simple, uniform standard which cannot be used however ingenious the effort to flout our Constitution.
It will provide for citizens to be registered by officials of the U.S. Government if the State officials refuse to register them.
It will eliminate tedious, unnecessary lawsuits which delay the right to vote.
Finally, this legislation will insure that properly registered individuals are not prohibited from voting.
I will welcome the suggestion from all the Members of Congress—I have no doubt that I will get some—on ways and means to strengthen this law and to make it effective. But experience has plainly shown that this is the only path to carry out the command of the Constitution.
To those who seek to avoid action by their National Government in their home communities—who want to and who seek to maintain purely local control over elections—the answer is simple.
Open your polling places to all your people.
Allow men and women to register and vote whatever the color of their skin.
Extend the rights of citizenship to every citizen of this land.
There is no constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain.
There is no moral issue. It is wrong— deadly wrong—to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country.
There is no issue of States rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
I have not the slightest doubt what will be your answer.
But the last time a President sent a civil rights bill to the Congress it contained a provision to protect voting rights in Federal elections. That civil rights bill was passed after 8 long months of debate. And when that bill came to my desk from the Congress for my signature, the heart of the voting provision had been eliminated.
This time, on this issue, there must be no delay, or no hesitation, or no compromise with our purpose.
We cannot, we must not refuse to protect the right of every American to vote in every election that he may desire to participate in.
And we ought not and we cannot and we must not wait another 8 months before we get a bill. We have already waited a hundred years and more. And the time for waiting is gone.
So I ask you to join me in working long-hours, nights, and weekends if necessary to pass this bill. And I do not make this request lightly, for from the window where I sit with the problems of our country, I recognize that from outside this Chamber is the outraged conscience of a nation—the grave concern of many nations—and the harsh judgment of history on our acts.
But even if we pass this bill, the battle will not be over. What happened in Selma is part of a far larger movement which reaches into every section and State of America. It is the effort of American Negroes to secure for themselves the full blessings of American life.
Their cause must be our cause too, because it is not just Negroes but really it is all of us, who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. And we shall overcome.
As a man whose roots go deeply into southern soil I know how agonizing racial feelings are. I know how difficult it is to reshape the attitudes and the structure of our society.
But a century has passed—more than 100 years—since the Negro was freed. And he is not fully free tonight. It was more than 100 years ago that Abraham Lincoln, a great President of another party, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But emancipation is a proclamation and not a fact.
A century has passed—more than 100 years—since equality was promised. And yet the Negro is not equal.
A century has passed since the day of promise. And the promise is unkept.
The time of justice has now come. And I tell you that I believe sincerely that no force can hold it back. It is right—in the eyes of man and God— that it should come. And when it does, I think that day will brighten the lives of every American.
For Negroes are not the only victims. How many white children have gone uneducated and how many white families have lived in stark poverty—how many white lives have been scarred by fear because we have wasted our energy and our substance to maintain the barriers of hatred and terror.
And so I say to all of you here and to all in the Nation tonight that those who appeal to you to hold on to the past do so at the cost of denying you your future.
This great, rich, restless country can offer opportunity and education and hope to all—all black and white, all North and South, sharecropper and city dweller. These are the enemies—poverty, ignorance, disease—they are our enemies, not our fellow man, not our neighbor. And these enemies too—poverty, disease, and ignorance—we shall overcome.
Now let none of us, in any section, look with prideful righteousness on the troubles in another section or the problems of our neighbors. There is really no part of America where the promise of equality has been fully kept. In Buffalo as well as in Birmingham, in Philadelphia as well as Selma, Americans are struggling for the fruits of freedom.
233
This is one nation. What happens in Selma or in Cincinnati is a matter of legitimate concern to every American. But let us look within our own hearts and our own communities, and let each of us put our shoulder to the wheel to root out injustice wherever it exists.
As we meet here in this peaceful, historic Chamber tonight, men from the South, some of whom were at Iwo Jima, men from the North, who have carried Old Glory to far corners of the world and brought it back without a stain on it, men from the East and from the West, are all fighting together without regard to religion or color or region in Vietnam. Men from every region fought for us across the world 20 years ago.
And, now, in these common dangers and these common sacrifices, the South made its contribution of honor and gallantry no less than any other region of the Great Republic, and in some instances—a great many of them—more.
And I have not the slightest doubt that good men from everywhere in this country—from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Golden Gate to the harbors along the Atlantic—will rally now together in this cause to vindicate the freedom of all Americans. For all of us owe this duty, and I believe that all of us will respond to it.
Your President makes that request of every American.
The real hero of this struggle is the American Negro. His actions and protests—his courage to risk safety, and even to risk his life, have awakened the conscience of this Nation. His demonstrations have been designed to call attention to injustice, designed to provoke change, designed to stir reform. He has called upon us to make good the promise of America. And who among us can say that we would have made the same progress were it not for his persistent bravery and his faith in American democracy?
For at the real heart of battle for equality is a deep-seated belief in the democratic process. Equality depends not on the force of arms or tear gas, but depends upon the force of moral right— not on recourse to violence but on respect for law and order.
There have been many pressures upon your President—and there will be others as the days come and go—but I pledge you tonight that we intend to fight this battle where it should be fought, in the courts and in the Congress and in the hearts of men.
We must preserve the right of free speech and the right of free assembly. But the right of free speech does not carry with it, as has been said, the right to holler “fire” in a crowded theater. We must preserve the right to free assembly, but free assembly does not carry with it the right to block public thoroughfares to traffic.
We do have a right to protest and a right to march under conditions that do not infringe the constitutional rights of our neighbors. And I intend to protect all those rights as long as I am permitted to serve in this office.
234
We will guard against violence, knowing it strikes from our hands the very weapons with which we seek progress— obedience to law, and belief in American values.
In Selma, as elsewhere, we seek and pray for peace. We seek order. We seek unity.
But we will not accept the peace of stifled rights, or the order imposed by fear, or the unity that stifles protest. Foi' peace cannot be purchased at the cost of liberty.
In Selma tonight—and we had a good day there—as in every city, we are working for a just and peaceful settlement. And we must all remember—after this speech I am making tonight, after the police and the FBI and the marshals have all gone, and after you have promptly passed this bill—the people of Selma and the other cities of the Nation must still live and work together. And when the attention of the Nation has gone elsewhere they must try to heal the wounds and to build a new community. This cannot be easily done on a battleground of violence, as the history of the South itself shows. It is in recognition of this that men of both races have shown such an outstandingly impressive responsibility in recent days—last Tuesday, and again today.
The bill that I am presenting to you will be known as a civil rights bill. But, in a larger sense, most of the program I am recommending is a civil rights program. Its object is to open the city of hope to all people of all races.
Because all Americans just must have the right to vote. And we are going to give them that right.
All Americans must have the privileges of citizenship regardless of race. And they are going to have those privileges of citizenship regardless of race.
But I would like to caution you and remind you that to exercise these privileges takes much more than legal right. It requires a trained mind and a healthy body. It requires a decent home, and the chance to find a job, and the opportunity to escape from the clutches of poverty.
Of course people cannot contribute to the Nation if they are never taught to read or write, if their bodies are stunted from hunger, if their sickness goes untended, if their life is spent in hopeless poverty just drawing a welfare check.
So we want to open the gates to opportunity. But we are also going to give all our people—black or white—the help that they need to walk through those gates.
My first job after college was as a teacher in Cotulla, Tex., in a small Mexican-American school. Few of them could speak English and I could not speak much Spanish. My students were poor and they often came to class without breakfast—hungry. And they knew, even in their youth the pain of prejudice. They never seemed to know why people disliked them, but they knew it was so because I saw it in their eyes.
I often walked home late in the afternoon after the classes were finished wishing there was more that I could do. But all I knew was to teach them the little
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
that I knew—hoping that it might help them against the hardships that lay ahead.
Somehow you never forget what poverty and hatred can do when you see its scars on the hopeful face of a young child.
I never thought then in 1928 that I would be standing here in 1965. It never even occurred to me in my fondest dreams that I might have the chance to help the sons and daughters of those students—and to help people like them all over this country.
But now I do have that chance and I will let you in on a secret—I mean to use it.
And I hope that you will use it with me.
This is the richest and most powerful country which ever occupied this globe. The might of past empires is little compared to ours.
But I do not want to be the President who built empires, or sought grandeur, or extended dominion.
I want to be the President who educated young children to the wonders of their world.
I want to be the President who helped to feed the hungry and to prepare them to be taxpayers instead of tax-eaters.
I want to be the President who helped the poor to find theii’ own way and who protected the right of every citizen to vote in every election.
I want to be the President who helped to end hatred among his fellow men and who promoted love among the people of all races and all regions and all parties.
I want to be the President who helped to end war among the brothers of this earth.
And so at the request of your beloved Speaker and the Senator from Montana, the majority leader, Mr. Mansfield, and the Senator from Illinois, the minority leader, Mr. Dirksen, and Mr. McCulloch and others, Members of both parties, I come here tonight not as President Roosevelt came down one time in person to veto a bonus bill; not as President Truman came down one time to urge the passage of a railroad bill. But I come here to ask you to share this task with me and to share it with the people we both work for.
I want this to be the Congress—Republicans and Democrats alike—which did all these things for all these people.
Beyond this great Chamber—out yonder in the 50 States are the people we serve. Who can tell what deep and unspoken hopes are in their hearts tonight as they sit there and listen? We all can guess, from our own lives, how difficult they often find their own pursuit of happiness; how many problems each little family has. They look most of all to themselves for their future.
But I think that they also look to each of us.
Above the pyramid on the great seal of the United States it says in Latin, “God has favored our undertaking.”
God will not favor everything that we do. It is rather our duty to divine His will. I cannot help but believe that He truly understands and that He really
March 16
favors the undertaking that we begin here tonight.
Upon the conclusion of the address at 9 o’clock and 54 minutes p.m., the joint session was dissolved; and

VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate a copy of the message delivered by the President of the United States last evening before a joint session of Congress relating to the voting rights of citizens of the United States, the text of same appears in the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
PROPOSALS FOR LEGISLATION RELATING TO THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
To the Congress of the United States: In this same month 95 years ago—on March 30, 1870—the Constitution of the United States was amended for the 15th time to guarantee that no citizen of our land should be denied the right to vote because of race or color.
The command of the 15th amendment is unequivocal and its equal force upon State governments and the Federal Government is unarguable.
Section 1 of this amendment provides: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”
By the oath I have taken “to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” duty directs—and strong personal conviction impels—that I advise the Congress that action is necessary, and necessary now, if the Constitution is to be upheld and the rights of all citizens are not to be mocked, abused, and denied.
I must regretfully report to the Congress the following facts:
(1)	That the 15th amendment of our Constitution is today being systematically and willfully circumvented in certain State and local jurisdictions of our Nation.
(2)	That representatives of such State and local governments, acting “under the color of law,” are denying American citizens the right to vote on the sole basis of race or color.
(3)	That, as a result of these practices, in some areas of our country today no significant number of American citizens of the Negro race can be registered to vote except upon the intervention and order of a Federal court.
(4)	That the remedies available under law to citizens thus denied their constitutional rights—and the authority presently available to the Federal Government to act in their behalf— are clearly inadequate.
(5)	That the denial of these rights and the frustration of efforts to obtain meaningful relief from such denial without undue delay is contributing to the creation of conditions which are both inimical to our domestic order and tranquillity and incompatible with the standards of equal justice and individual dignity on which our society stands.
I am therefore calling upon the Congress to discharge the duty authorized in section 2 of the 15th amendment “to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
I
It could never be a welcome duty for any President to place before Congress such a report of the willful failure and refusal of public officials to honor, respect, and abide by any provision of the Constitution of the United States. It is especially repugnant to report such disregard directed against the 15th amendment by officials at the State and local levels.
The essence of our American tradition of State and local governments is the belief expressed by Thomas Jefferson that government is best which is closest to the people. Yet that belief is betrayed by those State and local officials who engage in denying the right of citizens to vote. Their actions serve only to assure that their State governments and local governments shall be remote from the people, least representative of the people’s will and least responsible to the people’s wishes.
If there were no other reasons, the strengthening and protection of the vital role of State and local governments would be reasons enough to act against the denial of the right to vote for any of our citizens.
But there are other reasons to act-clear, compelling, and present reasons.
(1)	The challenge now presented is more than a challenge to our Constitution—it is a blatant affront to the conscience of this generation of Americans. Discrimination based on race or color is reprehensible and intolerable to the great American majority. In every national forum, where they have chosen to test popular sentiment, defenders of discrimination have met resounding rejection. Americans now are not willing that the acid of a few shall be allowed to corrode the souls of the many.
The Congress, the courts, and the executive, acting together in clear response to the will of the people and the mandate of the Constitution, have achieved more progress toward equality of rights in recent years than in all the years gone before. This tide will not be turned. The purposeful many need not and will not bow to the willful few.
(2)	In our system, the first right and most vital of all our rights is the right to vote. Jefferson described the elective franchise as “the ark of our safety.” It is from the exercise of this right that the guarantee of all our other rights flows.
Unless the right to vote be secure and undenied, all other rights are insecure and subject to denial for all our citizens. The challenge to this right is a challenge to America itself. We must meet this challenge as decisively as we would meet a challenge mounted against our land from enemies abroad.
(3)	In the world, America stands for—and works for—the right of all men to govern themselves through free, uninhibited elections. An ink bottle broken against an American Embassy, a fire set in an American library, an insult committed against our American flag, anywhere in the world, does far less injury to our country and our cause than the discriminatory denial of the right of any American citizen at home to vote on the basis of race or color.
The issue presented by the present challenge to our Constitution and our
236
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 16
conscience transcends legalism, although it does not transcend the law itself. We are challenged to demonstrate that there are no sanctuaries within our law for those who flaunt it. We are challenged, also, to demonstrate by our prompt, fitting, and adequate response, now that the hope of our system is not force, not arms, not the might of militia or marshals—but the law itself.
ii
The problem of discriminatory denial of the right to vote has been with us ever since colonial times.
The test of real property ownership was universal among the Colonies and religious qualifications were numerous. Race, color, sex, age, employment, and residence were all used as the basis for qualifying voters. Such restrictions continued to flourish among the States even after formation of the Union.
The first literacy tests were legislated in northern States in an effort to exclude immigrants—especially Irish—from the franchise. When the 15th amendment was adopted, there were only six States which had never discriminated against voting by Negroes.
If discrimination has been a prevalent practice in our history of voting rights, the struggle against discrimination has been our consistent purpose generation after generation.
Since the adoption of the Bill of Rights, no other right has been strengthened and fortified so often by constitutional amendment as the right to vote. As early as 1804—and as recently as 1964—the Constitution of the United States has been amended on at least six occasions to prohibit discrimination against the right to vote, to enlarge the franchise, and to assure the expression of the people’s will as registered by them at the polls.
The challenge facing us today is not a challenge of what the Constitution of the United States shall say—but of what it shall mean.
What the 15th amendment says is unmistakable. With the 15th amendment actually means for some Americans in some jurisdictions is diametrically opposite to the clear intent of the language.
By the device of equal laws, unequally applied, Negro Americans are being denied the right and opportunity to vote and discrimination is given sanction under color of law. Varieties of techniques are infinite. Three are most commonplace.
1.	The technique of technical “error”: Negro applicants for registration are disqualified on grounds of technical “errors” in their registration forms. Instances of record show Negroes disqualified for “errors” such as failure to write out middle names, abbreviating the words “street” and “avenue” in addresses, or failing to compute age exactly to the day. Where this technique is employed, “errors” are found in substantially all applications filed by Negroes, but few or none in applications filed by whites.
2.	The technique of noncooperation: A technique commonly used in conjunction with the “error” technique
involves simple noncooperation by the registrar. Thus, he may be “out” for most of the day during registration periods. Registration may be possible only on certain days each month. Limits may be imposed upon the number of applicants processed each registration day. The variety of circumventions possible by this device is endless.
3.	The technique of subjective tests: By far the most common technique by which Negro citizens are prevented from exercising their right to register and to vote is the use of subjective tests, unfairly administered literacy tests, tests of “understanding,” and tests of “character.” The only standard used is the whim of the registrar. Such devices are used as vehicles for the rejection of untold thousands of voters—solely on the basis of race and color.
Whatever the technique, the intended purpose of such devices is effectively served.
In one State 10 years ago, 59.6 percent of voting age white persons were registered to vote. Only 4.3 percent of eligible Negroes were registered to vote. The changes since then are negligence.
In several States, there are counties with sizable Negro populations where not a single Negro is registered to vote.
In scores of other counties where discrimination is not so blatant, it remains far more difficult for Negroes to register than for whites.
Too frequently discrimination is the aim and intent of such devices—and discrimination is the result.
in
The Congress and the executive branch of the Federal Government have recognized—and sought to meet—these challenges to the authority of the Constitution of the United States. I am proud to have been closely associated with the succession of Federal enactments, beginning in 1957 with the first civil rights law in more than 80 years.
The major steps taken have been these:
(1)	The Civil Rights Act of 1957: The approach of this statute was to challenge through litigation the discriminatory use of vote tests.
(2)	The Civil Rights Act of 1960: This statute, pursuing the same approach, sought to simplify such litigation.
(3)	The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Still following the same approach, sought to expedite litigation.
In some areas litigation has been effective. But 8 years of litigation has made it clear that the prompt and fair registration of qualified Negro citizens cannot be achieved under present legislation in the face of consistent defiance of the laws of Congress or the command of the Constitution.
IV
The challenge facing us is clear and immediate—it is also profound.
The Constitution is being flouted.
The intent of Congress expressed three times in the last 7 years is being frustrated.
The national will is being denied.
The integrity of our Federal system is in contest.
Unless we act anew, with dispatch and resolution, we shall sanction a sad and sorrowful course for the future. For if the 15th amendment is successfully flouted today, tomorrow the 1st amendment, the 4th amendment, the 5th amendment—the 6th, the 8th, indeed, all the provisions of the Constitution on which our system stands—will be subject to disregard and erosion. Our essential strength as a society governed by the rule of law will be crippled and corrupted and the unity of our system hollowed out and left meaningless.
For these reasons, therefore, I ask the Congress under the power clearly granted by the 15th amendment to enact legislation which would—
(1)	Strike down restrictions to voting in all elections—Federal, State, and local—which have been used to deny Negroes the right to vote.
(2)	Establish in all States and counties where the right to vote has been denied on account of race a simple standard of voter registration which will make it impossible to thwart the 15th amendment.
(3)	Prohibit the use of new tests and devices wherever they may be used for discriminatory purposes.
(4)	Provide adequate power to insure, if necessary, that Federal officials can perform functions essential to the right to vote whenever State officials deny that right.
(5)	Eliminate the opportunity to delay the right to vote by resort to tedious and unnecessary lawsuits.
(6)	Provide authority to insure that properly registered individuals will not be prohibited from voting.
Our purpose is not—and shall never be—either the quest for power or the desire to punish. We seek to increase the power of the people over all their governments, not to enhance the power of the Federal Government over any of the people.
For the life of this Republic, our people have zealously guarded their liberty against abuses of power by their governments. The one weapon they have used is the mightiest weapon in the arsenal of democracy—the vote. This has been enough, for as Woodrow Wilson said, “The instrument of all reform in America is the ballot.”
Yet today, in areas of America, segments of our populace must live in just that involuntary condition—policed by forces they have no voice in choosing and forced to abide by laws they have no vote in adopting.
A people divided over the right to vote can never build a nation united.
I am determined that these years shall be devoted to perfecting our unity so that we may pursue more successfully the fulfillment of our high purposes at home and in the world. While I have proposed to you other measures to serve the strengthening of our free society and the happiness of our free people, I regard action on the measures proposed in this message to be first in priority.

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS

The White House, Washington, March 17,1965. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President; When I addressed the joint session of Congress on Monday night, I said: “Many of the issues of civil rights are complex and difficult. But about this there can be no argument. Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty to insure that right.”
I now submit to you the legislation I discussed on Monday night. This legislation will help rid the Nation of racial discrimination in every aspect of the electoral process and thereby insure the right of ail to vote.
This bill is the product of many minds and much work in the executive branch and of both parties in the Congress. It has been carefully drafted to meet its objective—the end of discrimination in voting in America. I urge the Congress to turn its attention immediately to this legislation and to enact it promptly.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

experienced by the free world in the last two decades. An expansion of the Fund’s resources is now needed if it is to continue to contribute effectively to free world growth in the future. The United States has given its firm support to the Fund since its creation in the Bretton Woods Agreements of 1945. This support must continue.
I recommend to the Congress that the quota of the United States in the International Monetary Fund be increased by 25 percent along with the similar or greater increases proposed for other members. The increases proposed for all members will raise Fund quotas by about $5 billion and bring total quotas to $21 billion. This expansion is vital to the United States. It will—
promote the orderly and stable growth of free world trade and payments in which we so importantly participate;
maintain the strength and central position of the Fund in the evolution of the international monetary system;
help finance the temporary swings in balance of payments associated with the growing volume of international transactions;
support the expansion of bilateral credit facilities which have contributed to the development of the international monetary system; and
provide to the Fund other major currencies to meet drawings that have mainly been financed by dollars in the past, and thus strengthen the present payments system.
Demands on the Fund’s resources have steadily risen as the volume of world trade and financial transactions has grown. In the past 5 years drawings on the Fund have averaged over $1 billion per year; during the period 1955-59, the annual average was $440 million. This increased use of the Fund reflects both the great expansion of current international transactions since 1959 and the increasingly large international movement of capital since the return to convertibility of the major European currencies. Increased use of the Fund has been especially marked among the large industrial countries. Since 1962 Canada, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States have either drawn on Fund resources or entered into standby arrangements, or both.
A significant change in the holdings of the Fund has also occurred. For many years the U.S. dollar was the only currency extensively drawn by other member nations. But because of our balance-of-payments deficits, the Fund has increasingly provided other currencies to drawing members. As a result its holdings of major currencies other than dollars and sterling have declined by over $1 billion since 1959. The proposed quota increase will substantially enlarge the Fund’s holdings of these currencies.
Moreover, the Fund’s credit facilities have been directly useful to the United States. Prior to 1958, the United States attained a large creditor position because of the extensive lending of dollars by the Fund. From 1958 to 1963 reversal of our
earlier Fund creditor position financed over $1 billion of our payments deficit; and since 1963, we have made net drawings of $260 million of the Funds, resources for this same purpose.
I am transmitting legislation which would authorize the U.S. Governor of the Fund to agree to an increase of $1,035 million in the U.S. quota, bringing our total quota to $5,160 million. Three-fourths of the increase, or $776 million, will be obligated in dollars but will be expended only as needed by the Fund. The remaining $259 million will be payable in gold. In return for this gold payment, the United States will receive a substantially equivalent reserve asset in the form of a virtually automatic drawing right on the Fund. Arrangements have been made both to minimize the amount of gold sales by the United States to other Fund members for their gold subscription payments, and to mitigate the impact of any purchases that may occur.
The National Advisory Council on International Monetary and Financial Problems has prepared a report which is being sent separately to the Congress. The report will provide background information for the use of the Congress, and strongly endorses the proposed quota increase.
The increased Fund quotas will contribute importantly to the economic health of the free world. The increase is clearly in the interest of the United States. I urge that Congress give prompt and favorable consideration to this legislation.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
ESTABLISHMENT OF TWO PUBLIC COLLEGES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia:
The White House, Washington, March 18, 1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting to the Congress herewith a proposed bill to authorize the establishment of two public colleges in the District of Columbia.
A distinguished Committee on Public Higher Education in the District of Columbia, appointed by President Kennedy, has unanimously recommended to me the establishment of a public community college and a public college of arts and sciences in the District. As the Committee’s report makes clear, both colleges are urgently needed.
The Committee’s report stressed some of the benefits of establishing two such colleges in the District:
“Higher education for those to whom it was previously inaccessible produces consequences far beyond their own use of it. Availability makes a crucial difference in the motivation for learning at
all levels and for all ages, generating hope and self-esteem among individuals and groups previously relegated to inferior status. Presenting models of successful escape from degrading conditions and providing trained leadership for those still struggling to emerge from an unfavorable background, higher education offers the best hope for community progress in our cities’ battles against poverty, sickness, unemployment, and crime.”
The bill would create immediately a Board of Higher Education to which would be assigned the responsibility and the authority to plan, organize, and operate these colleges. The community college would provide programs, generally extending not more than 2 years beyond the high school level, in both academic and vocational fields, with particular emphasis on the latter. The college of liberal arts and sciences would provide courses leading to bachelor’s and master’s degrees, with initial emphasis on teacher training. It would replace and absorb the present 4-year District of Columbia Teachers College.
The children of the Nation’s Capital have been largely denied opportunities, available to high school graduates in the States, to continue their education beyond high school in publicly supported, low-cost educational institutions. Higher education should be made a universal opportunity for all young people— the Nation’s Capital should set the pace, not lag behind. The Congress has abundantly demonstrated its concern with education, and I hope that the proposed bill will receive its prompt and favorable consideration.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

AREA REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency:
To the Congress of the United States:
The promise of America is opportunity for our people. It must therefore be a matter of concern to all Americans when any of our fellow citizens is denied the chance to build a full life for himself and his family.
Yet this is the condition of life for millions of our fellow citizens in areas of distress scattered across the continent.
At a time of instant communication and swift transport it is difficult to realize how varied are the regions of this country. Abundance and opportunity, progress and hope are, however, not evenly spread over the land. The same diversity of conditions which contribute to the richness of our society and culture, also bears with harsh inequality on those in stricken stretches of America.
A wide array of programs and weapons has been called into action to make sure no American is denied opportunity because of his race, or lack of education, or the poverty of his birth.
As our people more fully realize their human potential, we must be sure that the economic potential in all areas and regions is also realized. Indeed, in order to be fully effective, education programs, health programs, the programs of the war on poverty, and many other activities require complementary efforts to promote sound economic conditions and the proper physical environment.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 25
Opportunity should not be closed to any person because of the circumstances of the area in which he lives.
Moreover the distress or underdevelopment of any part of the country holds back the progress of the entire Nation. This has been one of the great lessons of the last 30 years. Region after region from the Deep South to the Far West has been brought into the mainstream of our economic life. The consequence has been increased vitality and strength, not only in those areas whose resources had been previously underemployed, but for the Nation as a whole. Nonetheless, much remains to be done.
A growing nation cannot afford to waste these resources, human and natural, which are now too often neglected and unused in distressed areas. We cannot afford the loss of buying power and of national growth which flow from widespread poverty. Above all, we cannot afford to shut out large numbers of our fellow citizens from the fulfillment of hope which is shared by the rest. For that would be the denial of the promise of America itself.
The troubles and the potentials of depressed areas which contain approximately 27 million people vary widely. They are scattered across almost every section of the country. But they share certain common characteristics.
Nearly always their population growth is well below the national average, and often it is declining. Large areas in Illinois, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and elsewhere have lost more than 20 percent of their population in the last decade, while America as a whole was increasing its numbers by almost as much.
This pattern of decline is a symptom of economic distress. For in these areas employment and income are far below the national average. Unemployment rates of 10 to 15 percent are not uncommon. In dozens of counties more than 50 percent of all families have annual incomes of less than $2,000.
Worst of all, the distressed area is usually caught in a web of circumstances which block progress and lead to further decline.
Young people are forced to leave school earlier to help support their families, thus depriving themselves of needed skills and knowledge. Many young people must leave families and homes behind them in search of greater opportunity, stripping the area of badly needed skill and energy. Older men and women tend to stay on, clinging to the communities and friends which have been part of their lives and which enrich their existence.
As income goes down, these areas are less and less able to support schools, hospitals, and other public facilities needed to train their people and otherwise equip them to meet the demands of modern life. They are often too poor to provide the public structures—from roads to water—needed to attract new business and new jobs. The result is a steadily mounting toll in human poverty and retardation of the Nation’s progress.
To break this downward spiral, to restore vitality and forward motion to
America’s distressed areas, I recommend a program of area and regional economic development, focused upon the economic needs of distressed areas and aimed at providing the conditions which can lead to growth. This program will be based primarily upon the experience of the accelerated public works program, the Area Redevelopment Administration, and the Appalachian Regional Development Commission.
The economic development of distressed areas, like that of a nation, is an enormously complex process. It requires work and cooperation from both public and private enterprise. It requires partnership between officials at every level of government—local, county, State, and Federal. It demands attention to a wide diversity of development needs—from improved transportation and water supply to industrial incentives and public facilities. It means that the varied resources and abilities of each region must be harnessed in a concerted effort to build a solid economic base for increasing industry, bringing with it more jobs and higher income.
In this effort we build upon the invaluable experience of the experimental area redevelopment program carried on for at least 4 years.
First. ARA has shown that helping businessmen to expand or to build new plants, coupled with financial assistance to provide needed public facilities, can produce new jobs.
As of January 31, 1965, the Area Redevelopment Administration had approved 548 projects of which over 300 were in rural areas. These projects have and will assist in the creation of over 115,000 jobs. According to a recent study, more than three out of every four persons now working on ARA-assisted projects were not working full time prior to their present jobs. All of these jobs were in new, expanded, or restored facilities.
Second. ARA has shown that the cost to the Government of creating these jobs is less than the cost of supporting these workers and their families through public assistance programs.
It has been estimated that, taking into account all outlays, the average nonre-turnable one-time cost to the Federal Government for each job is about $800. More than this is saved in not having to pay unemployment compensation and welfare benefits to persons employed as a result of ARA activities. The cost is made once; the benefits continue as long as the jobs last.
Third. ARA has shown that people in our communities will work together in economic self-help programs.
Under the area redevelopment program, more than 1,000 local committees have been formed to work on overall economic development programs. Some of the programs are producing dividends without any other Federal aid whatsoever.
Fourth. ARA has shown that counties can be advantageously grouped together to promote cooperation on problems of mutual economic interest.
Under the area redevelopment program some 75 multicounty programs have been approved. The counties of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, for example, are tackling common problems with their own regional organization called UPCAP. The counties of southeastern Ohio are jointly organized through Ohio University to assist in the growth of local industries. Northeastern Pennsylvania is working under the leadership of Wilkes College to plan and carry out an areawide economic development program.
Drawing on this past experience we can now move ahead with a long-range program of area and regional economic development to assist in restoring economic health to distressed areas oi America.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Under the new program three basic principles will guide our action.
First. We will devote maximum effort to providing the conditions under which our private enterprise system can provide jobs and increased income. It is up to private business to take advantage of improved conditions for making profits by expanding present businesses or starting new ones, thereby increasing opportunity for the people of the region.
Second. No Federal plan or Federal project will be imposed on any regional, State, or local body. No area will be declared distressed by Federal decree. No economic development district will be designated unless the State and local people want it to be designated. No plan will be approved unless it also has the approval of State and local authorities. No programs or projects will be originated at the Federal level. The initiative, the ideas, and the request for assistance must all come to Washington, not from Washington.
Third. The Federal Government will seek full value from every dollar spent or loaned under this program. Every proposal will be tested to see if it offers substantial promise of increasing economic development commensurate with the Federal funds involved. Only if a project meets this test will it be approved. Over the years the increased economic activity stimulated by this program will return its cost many times to the Federal Treasury.
ORGANIZATION FOR DEVELOPMENT
A key feature of this new program is the proposal to group togethei’ distressed counties and communities in economically viable development districts. Planning and assistance will concentrate on the needs of the area as a whole, as well as on individual counties and towns. Moreover, for planning many programs it makes sense to work in terms of larger regions encompassing in some cases parts of two or more States.
This is merely the recognition of a simple fact. Neither distress nor the potential for development respects State, county, or community boundaries. The economies of many areas are an organic whole. Just as many counties have declined together, they must advance together if they are to advance at all.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

For individual counties and communities are often not capable of individual growth. Their industry must draw upon workers from other areas, and this means educated and trained workers must be available. Factories in communities in other counties can offer employment and rising income to their people. Large-scale public facilities can be built most economically if they are designed to serve the needs of a large area. Many other Federal programs, such as assistance in the construction of hospitals, can be carried on more effectively if they are consistent with a genuine, regionwide program of development.
Often places which are not themselves in distress can with help and stimulation provide new jobs for the people of a surrounding distressed region.
Grouping counties together will permit assistance to be concentrated on those communities and industries whose rapid development offers the most hope for all the people of a region.
Thus we hope to work with regions which contain all the components of economic advance, unhampered by rigid boundaries.
The new organization for development will have four main components:
First. Redevelopment areas: The counties and labor commuting areas which are the basic units of the region, and where employment and income figures reveal conditions of distress and provide a measure of progress.
Second. Economic development districts: Organizations of distressed areas—generally multicounty in nature—which will work together on common problems and can sustain economic growth once the development process is started.
Third. Action planning commissions for regions: Multistate regions where comprehensive, long-range economic planning can be carried out by joint Federal-State commissions, to solve economic problems too large or difficult to be dealt with on a local basis.
Fourth. Economic development centers: The places where resources can be most swiftly and effectively used to create more jobs and higher income for the people of the surrounding area. These centers may or may not themselves be distressed. Successful development is frequently easier to achieve when a number of activities are located in a single community large enough to offer the advantages which flow from size itself. Clusters of industry tend to attract other industry. And such clusters offer the prospect of increased economic activity and improved economic health of the entire area.
To implement this design for development I recommend that the Secretary of Commerce be given authority to (1) designate redevelopment areas on the basis of data relating to unemployment or income: (2) work with States to organize multicounty economic development districts; (3) include in such districts economic development centers not otherwise eligible for designation as redevelopment areas; and (4) invite and encour
age States to establish multistate regional action planning commissions to prepare long-range action programs to improve the economic growth of the region.
This program, national in scope, is intended to aid those areas most in need of assistance throughout the country. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide objective criteria to determine those areas qualified for assistance under the program, and thus the bill contains measurable standards for eligibility based on either unemployment or median family income statistics. Qualifying unemployment data would be the same as in the Area Redevelopment Act. In addition, counties could qualify if the median family income is less than 40 percent of the national median.
Indian areas would be designated after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior.
When there has been a sudden plant shutdown or closing of a military installation, the Secretary would be authorized to designate areas for assistance if he determines that the area can be expected to become eligible within 3 years unless assistance is provided.
The program will contain standards which insure that aid is concentrated on areas of real need, and that it is being distributed on an objective basis.
INSTRUMENTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Our experience with various forms of assistance under ARA and the accelerated public works program has shown us ways to improve our techniques and our tools for providing economic growth.
Direct Grant Program
I recommend a direct grant program for development facilities related to economic development and matched at 50 percent of the cost of the project. In addition, because of the long-term economic depression in many of the depressed areas, I am recommending authorization of supplementary grants to help the most needy communities to meet their matching share of Federal grant-in-aid programs. Additional Federal assistance up to 80 percent of the net project cost would be made available to communities unable to take advantage of regulai’ Federal programs because of their inability to raise the required local share. These supplemental payments to needy communities would be limited to programs assisting in the construction or equipment of development facility projects, including those eligible for 50-percent grants under this proposed legislation.
An annual authorization of $250 million for grants for development facilities and supplemental payments is being requested.
Loan Programs
The existing ARA program of loans for land, building, machinery, and equipment has provided loans at 4 percent interest, of up to 65 percent of the cost of the project for industrial or commercial facilities. As of January 31, 1965, 396 projects have been approved under this program amounting to an investment of $173 million in ARA funds. Private cap
ital has participated with the Federal Government to a great extent in these projects. All told, approximately $127 million has been invested in these projects from all non-Federal sources, of which some 300 private banking institutions have invested more than $40 million.
Nevertheless, we need to do more to encourage greater utilization of private capital in redevelopment projects. To this end, I propose that the Secretary of Commerce be authorized to reimburse approved borrowers 2 percentage points of the cost of interest to them for up to 10 years on money borrowed from private institutions for expansion or establishment of plants in redevelopment areas in accordance with the development programs.
This proposal will stimulate greater use of private capital in recovery and development. Moreover, it avoids tying up large blocks of Federal funds over long periods of time. The Federal Government’s share of these new contracts during any one year would be limited to $5 million. This would facilitate and encourage $250 million of private investment annually in depressed areas.
I am also, recommending that authority be granted to guarantee working capital loans up to 90 percent. These guarantees would be available to supplement other financial assistance under this program.
The present ARA program of low-cost, 40-year loans for development facilities would be continued largely unchanged under the new program.
These direct loans and loan guarantees would be available to firms where their activities promise to create increased long-term employment.
An annual authorization of $170 million is recommended for a revolving fund, which would include direct loans for commercial and industrial facilities, loans for development facilities, and reserve for working capital guarantees.
The present requirement in the Area Redevelopment Act that State or local public agencies provide 10 percent of the cost of industrial projects, and that local investors must wait until the Federal loan has been entirely repaid before receiving repayment of principal, has worked a hardship on many needy communities. Accordingly, I am recommending that this requirement be reduced to 5 percent of the project cost and that repayment be concurrent with repayment of the Federal loan. In exceptionally needy cases, the Secretary of Commerce would be authorized to waive the 5-percent requirement. However, in no case will there be a waiver of the requirement that at least 15 percent of the total project cost be invested as equity or on a lien subordinate to that of the Federal investment.
Special Assistance
It is not enough to simply help finance projects. These projects must be part of a comprehensive plan to build a viable economy. To do this we must provide technical assistance and encourage the
250
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
March 25
formation of development organizations large enough to hire trained people to prepare comprehensive plans and carry them out. For these purposes, I am recommending the following new types of assistance:
Grants and technical assistance to regional action planning commissions to enable them to prepare long-range regional economic development programs within the context of overall industrial, transportation, recreation, and other natural resource planning. An annual authorization of $15 million is proposed for this purpose.
Grants and technical assistance to multicounty economic development districts for formulating overall economic development plans.
Additional Federal grants of 10 percent for development facility projects which are part of an approved district development plan, as a special incentive to encourage communities to work together.
Federal grants and loans for designated economic development centers in order that economic development districts will have resources sufficient to sustain their growth.
For the last two purposes I am recommending an authorization of $50 million. To allow ample time for the States to prepare well-thought-out action programs, no projects would be approved under this authorization until 1 year after enactment of the legislation.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION
This enlarged and redirected program of economic development will be administered by the Department of Commerce, which has also been responsible for the existing experimental program. The legislation I am proposing would create the position of Economic Development Administrator in that Department. The functions and powers of the existing Area Redevelopment Administration would be transferred to a successor organization to be created by the Secretary of Commerce to administer the new act.
Many other Federal programs also can contribute to the economic development of distressed areas. It is essential that these programs be closely coordinated to make sure resources are used with maximum effectiveness in reaching the common goal of a higher standard of living for the people of these regions. Therefore, I have directed the Secretary of Commerce to work closely with interested departments and agencies in achieving a coordinated Federal effort. It is especially important that this effort be carried forward in close cooperation with the Office of Economic Opportunity.
The antipoverty program will help people improve their ability to obtain and hold a job. This program is designed to increase the number of jobs available to those who want to work. Obviously both efforts are essential to the future growth of distressed areas. I intend to see that they work closely together toward the common objective.
CONCLUSION
There are three important things to remember about this program. First, it
is designed to extend opportunity to those now deprived of a full chance to share in the blessings of American life. As such it has a call upon the moral conscience of every citizen.
Second, it will benefit all Americans. The experience of the last 30 years has shown conclusively that the increasing prosperity of any region of this country increases the prosperity of the Nation. We have truly become a national economy. Higher incomes for the people of Illinois or Arkansas mean increased markets for automobiles from Detroit and steel from Pittsburgh. Poverty in one area slows progress in other areas.
Third, the job can be done. We have the resources and the skill to extend American abundance to every citizen and every region of this land. This program will help give us the instruments to match our determination to eliminate poverty in America.
The conditions of our distressed areas today are among our most important economic problems. They hold back the progress of the Nation, and breed a despair and poverty which is inexcusable in the richest land on earth. We will not permit any part of this country to be a prison where hopes are crushed, human beings chained to misery, and the promise of America denied.
The conditions of our depressed areas can and must be righted. In this generation they will be righted.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REORGANIZATION OF THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Government Operations:
To the Congress of the United States:
All that we do to serve the people of this land must be done, as has been my insistent pledge, with the least cost and the most effectiveness.
In my state of the Union message, I announced it was this administration’s intention to “reshape and reorganize” the executive branch. This goal had one objective: “to meet more effectively the tasks of today.”
I report today now one step taken forward toward that goal as part of our progress “on new economies we were planning to make.”
I submit today a plan for reorganization in the Bureau of Customs of the Department of the Treasury.
At present the Bureau maintains 113 independent field offices, each reporting directly to Customs headquarters in Washington, D.C. Under a modernization program of which this reorganization plan is an integral part, the Secretary of the Treasury proposes to establish six regional offices to supervise all Customs field activities. The tightened management controls achieved from these improvements will make possible a net annual saving of $9 million within a few years.
An essential feature will be the abolition of the offices of all Presidential ap
pointees in the Customs Service. The program cannot be effectively carried out without this step.
The following offices, therefore, would be eliminated: Collectors of customs, comptrollers of customs, surveyors of customs, and appraisers of merchandise, to which appointments are now required to be made by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Incumbents of abolished offices will be given consideration for suitable employment under the civil service laws in any positions in customs for which they may be qualified.
When this reorganization is completed, all officials and employees of the Bureau of Customs will be appointed under the civil service laws.
All of the functions of the offices which will be abolished are presently vested in the Secretary of the Treasury by Reorganization Plan No. 26 of 1950 which gives the Secretary power to redelegate these functions. He will exercise this power as the existing offices are abolished.
The estimate of savings that will be achieved by the program of customs modernization and improvement, of which this reorganization plan is a part, is based on present enforcement levels, business volume, and salary scales. Of the amounts saved, approximately $1 million a year will be from salaries no longer paid because of the abolition of offices.
The proposed new organizational framework looks to the establishment of new offices at both headquarters and field levels and abolition of present offices.
This results in a net reduction of more than 50 separate principal field offices by concentration of supervisory responsibilities in fewer officials in charge of regional and district activities. In addition to the 6 offices of regional commissioner, about 25 offices of district director will be established. The regional commissioners and district directors will assume the overall principal supervisory responsibilities and functions of collectors of customs, appraisers of merchandise, comptrollers of customs, laboratories, and supervising customs agents.
At the headquarters level, four new offices will be established to replace seven divisions. A new position of special assistant to the Commissioner will be created and charged with responsibility for insuring that all Customs employees conduct themselves in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Up to now this function has been one of a number lodged with an existing division.
After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.
It should be emphasized that abolition by Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965 of the offices of collector of customs, comptroller of customs, surveyor of customs, and appraiser of merchandise will in no way prejudice any right of any person affected by the laws administered by the Bureau of Customs. The rights of im
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
251
porters and others, for example, before the Customs Court, arising out of the administration of such functions will remain unaffected. In addition it should be emphasized that all essential services to the importing, exporting, and traveling public will continue to be performed.
This reorganization plan will permit a needed modernization of the organization and procedure of the Bureau of Customs. It will permit a more effective administration of the custom laws.
I urge the Congress to permit Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965 to become effective.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

Whereas the Communist regime in North Vietnam continues its deliberate and systematic campaign of aggression against its neighbors and the nations joined with them in the collective defense of their freedom; and
Whereas the United States is continuing to assist the peoples of southeast Asia to protect their freedom and has no territorial, military, or political ambitions in that area, but desires only that these peoples should be left in peace to work out their own destinies in their own way; and
Whereas questions have been raised at home and abroad as to the willingness of the United States to join in negotiations for an end to hostilities in Vietnam: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress (1) that the United States is determined to assist in ending aggression against South Vietnam by the Communist regime in North Vietnam; and the Congress approves and supports the actions of the President, including the use of the Armed Forces, in the defense of the territorial integrity and political independence of South Vietnam, as being in the national interest; (2) that the objectives of the United States are to bring about the cessation of hostilities and the restoration of peace, tranquility, and security in South Vietnam; and to assist South Vietnam in obtaining a full opportunity for self-determination, religious freedom, eco

Whereas in the ten years since the introduction of the Salk vaccine, there has been a 99 per centum reduction in the number of cases of polio in the United States; and
Whereas this dread disease which once attacked as many as fifty-seven thousand Americans in a single year and made the summer months a time of fear and apprehension for parents across the Nation, has now been eliminated as a public health problem; and
Whereas this great medical victory was won through a unique partnership between the American people and medical scientists like Doctor Salk, under the auspices of the National Foundation-March of Dimes, and with the outstanding cooperation of the United States Public Health Service; and
Whereas a leading example of how this partnership is continuing and expanding is the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California; and
Whereas this institute was conceived as a research center where scientists of international reputation could come and map out the high strategy of man’s fight for health; and
Whereas Doctor Salk and his colleagues from all over the world are now at work on projects aimed at discovering the basic concept of life itself; and
Whereas from this research can flow the specific methods to control disease and to promote the health and better understanding of man and his full potential: Now be it
Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Doctor Jonas Salk and the National Foundation-March of Dimes be congratulated on this tenth anniversary of the announcement of the world’s first effective vaccine against polio, and our confidence be expressed that the work of the National Foundation-March of Dimes— specifically its fight against birth defects—and of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies will bring about the blessings of better health for our society and all its citizens.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ON ACTIVITIES UNDER PUBLIC LAW 480
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, recieved on Wednesday, March 31, 1965, during the adjournment of the Senate, under the authority of the order of the Senate on Monday, March 29,1965; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am sending to the Congress the annual report on activities carried on under Public Law 480, 83d Congress, as amended, outlining operations under the act during the calendar year 1964. The report outlines in some detail the significant role of the United States through the years in helping to battle hunger in the world. The record is an impressive one.
The food-for-peace program is one of the most inspiring enterprises ever undertaken by any nation in all of history— and every American can be proud of it, without regard to partisanship or political persuasion.
In cooperation with the developing countries, food for peace is directly benefiting more people than ever before.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

And more importantly, the operating agencies are reaching these people with more meaningful programs. Increasingly the emphasis is on using our agricultural commodities to support projects that help eliminate the need for continued food aid. Today about 40 percent of our Government’s economic development assistance overseas is in the form of agricultural commodities and local currencies received from their sale. To achieve this record, food-for-peace exports reached a new high in 1964 of 18 million tons of agricultural commodities with an estimated export market value of $1.7 billion.
IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION
The food-for-peace program has made a significant contribution to the world attack on hunger and malnutrition— still the most grave health problem of the world. We now recognize that food deficiencies are most serious in infants, the pre-school-age and, to a lesser degree, school-age children. Not only does malnutrition result in high child death rates and widespread disabling diseases, but research has now established that it produces permanent retardation of mental as well as physical development. Studies suggest that in some developing countries as high as 70 percent of preschool children are undernourished or malnourished.
Thus, increasing attention is being given to nutrition in food for peace. Its importance is underscored by the fact that, of the 100 million recipients of our donated foods, 70 million are children, including more than 40 million in organized national school lunch efforts.
The Agency for International Development recently authorized funds which will be used, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, for vitamin enrichment of nonfat dry milk distributed overseas. Experiments will also be undertaken to help developing countries find the techniques and skills needed to process and distribute grain-based, high-protein foods for children.
MEETING HUMAN NEEDS
While the effort goes on to increase the nutritional balance in our commodity use, food for peace continues to seek the humanitarian goal of using our food to meet human needs:
During 1964, more than 3 billion pounds of commodities were programed through U.S. and international oversea relief agencies under title III of Public Law 480 for donation to 67.3 million people. As part of the Alliance for Progress, “Operation Ninos” school lunch programs in Latin America are currently feeding 13 million children— compared to fewer than 4 million when this special emphasis was initiated only 2^2 years ago.
Food-for-work community development projects are expanding to broaden and strengthen the base of country development. In 1964, 9 million people benefited from programs providing a supplementary wage of food—through
food for peace—as payment for participation in local self-help projects.
There were fewer large-scale disasters in the world during 1964 than in previous years, which accounts for the fact that food for peace was called upon to assist only 4 million victims under title II emergency relief programs—the smallest number since the inception of the program. However, an additional 1 million refugees benefited from these food-for-peace supported emergency relief programs.
U.S. commodities are being supplied to 50 of the 72 projects sponsored on a multilateral basis through the world food program. Seventy countries share in supporting these development projects now reaching 2.7 million recipients. U.S. support of multilateral programing is also exemplified by food-for-peace commodities provided to UNICEF and UNRWA.
DEVELOPING COMMERCIAL MARKETS
As food for peace embarks on its second decade, there is growing indication of the program’s substantial contribution to the development of commercial markets for our farm products as well as purely humanitarian efforts. Commercial sales of U.S. agricultural commodities overseas reached a new high of $4.6 billion during this year, more than double the commercial agricultural exports of 1954 when Public Law 480 was first enacted.
The Public Law 480 sales programs are designed to strengthen the economies of the recipient countries and thus hasten the day when they can finance their import requirements on commercial terms. Following are highlights of these sales programs:
Food-for-peace exports under title I (sales for foreign currencies) reached a record high in 1964 of almost $1.2 billion. Shipments amounted to more than 14 million tons, surpassing the previous peak of 13.9 million tons set in 1963.
Public Law 480-generated currencies are paying U.S. oversea expenses, conserving dollars and strengthening our balance-of-payments position. Reimbursements to the Commodity Credit Corporation through 1964 by U.S. Government agencies utilizing these currencies totaled almost $1.1 billion. Additional reimbursements also resulted from barter programs as U.S. agencies financed oversea procurement of goods and services with Public Law 480 commodities. Such reimbursements from both programs totaled over a third of a billion dollars in 1964.
Our balance-of-payments position is also benefiting from increased activity under title IV, long-term dollar credit sales. Almost 1 million tons of agricultural commodities at an export market value of $93 million, were shipped overseas in 1964 under title IV, also a new record. Title IV dollar repayments on principal and interest from previous sales are being made in increasing volume. Repayments during 1964 totaled $5.4 million, compared to $2.3 million in 1963.
PUBLIC LAW 480 SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Agricultural commodities continue to serve as one of our principal assets in international economic developments, contributing substantially to the total U.S. oversea aid effort.
Planned uses of local currencies provided in title I sales agreements concluded during 1964 totaled $580.5 million for economic development—$553.5 million in loans; $27 million in grants. In addition, agricultural commodities sold to foreign governments on longterm dollar credit under title IV provided financing for economic purposes. These currencies are being used to supplement capital investment funds and technical assistance support in a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and socioeconomic development projects.
Fifty-seven million dollars in local currencies generated by title I sales of food-for-peace commodities were loaned in 1964 to United States and local private enterprise for business development and trade expansion in 11 countries.
CHALLENGE OF THE FUTURE
These are only some of the accomplishments of food for peace during the past year. The program has come a long way since 1954 when it was so generally considered only as a temporary means to dispose of “burdensome” agricultural surpluses. Food for peace has proved its worth as an important means to meet human need, encourage economic development and support U.S. foreign policy. It has helped demonstrated to the world that human hunger is no longer an inevitable fact of life. Its elimination is within our grasp.
Yet for all of the many efforts and accomplishments by the United States and other richly endowed countries, millions still suffer from some form of hunger or malnutrition We have long recognized that an insufficient food supply is one of the leading contributors to human misery and political instability. More recently we have begun to recognize that it is also a major deterrent to economic and social development. The resulting loss, in both human and economic terms, is one of the great tragedies and shortcomings of the 20th century.
The long-range solution to the hunger problem rests in improving the productive capacity of the developing nations themselves. In my messages to the Congress this year on agriculture and foreign assistance, I pointed to the need for increased attention directed to the agricultural sectors of less developed countries—specifically to help overcome obstacles such as the present deficiency of fertilizer, the lack of adequate government policies in establishing sufficient incentives for the farmer, and the general insufficiency of education so vitally nedeed to improve farming methods and technology.
Our efforts on these matters must continue. But we must also continue to utilize our own agricultural resources

until the day these other countries become self-sufficient. That will be a number of years away—but food for peace can shorten this time.
Food for peace is an important tool for development. It is good international policy and sound domestic policy. Food for peace is, above all, a program which expresses the great and generous heart of the American people—and is a worthy expression of the compassion always so much a part of America’s character. It deserves the continued support of the Congress and of all Americans.

CANADIAN-AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE TRADE
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Finance:
The White House, Washington, March 31,1965.
Dear Mr. President: On January 16, Prime Minister Pearson, of Canada, and I signed an important agreement looking toward freer trade in automotive products between our two North American countries. This agreement resolves the serious difference which existed between Canada and the United States over our automotive trade. More significantly, it marks a long step forward in U.S. commercial relations with her greatest trading partner. It testifies to the good will and confidence between us.
The automotive producers of the United States and Canada make up a single great North American industry. The same kind of cars, using the same parts, are produced on both sides of the border, in many cases in factories only a few miles apart. Over 90 percent of the automobiles sold in Canada are assembled by firms owned in part or in whole by U.S. companies. The men and women who work in the plants on both sides of the border are members of the same international union.
Tariffs and other restrictions involving Canadian-United States trade in automotive products have been the cause of significant inefficiency in this great industry. Canadian plants produce a great variety of cars, essentially identical with those made in far larger numbers in the United States. Because the Canadian market is relatively small, production runs have been short, and costs and prices have been high. High costs and prices, in turn—supported by the tariff and other restrictions—have contributed to keeping the market small.
Historically Canada’s share in North American automotive production has lagged far behind her share in automotive purchases. In 1963, in an attempt to increase its share of the North American market, the Canadian Government put into effect a plan, involving the remission of tariffs, which was designed to stimulate automotive exports. A number of U.S. manufacturers, believing they would be injured by the plan,
called upon this Government to impose countervailing duties. In all probability, such action would have invited retaliation. We were faced by the prospect of a wasteful contest of stroke and counterstroke, harmful to both Canada and the United States, and helpful to neither. Our broader good relations with our Canadian friends would have suffered serious strain.
To avoid such a dismal outcome, our two Governments bent every effort to find a rational solution to the problems of a divided industry. The automotive products agreement that the Prime Minister and I signed in January is the result of our joint labors.
The agreement will benefit both countries. We will have avoided a serious commercial conflict. Canada will have achieved her objective of increasing her automotive production. U.S. manufacturers will be able to plan their production to make most efficient use of their plants, whether in Canada or the United States. They will save the price of the tariff, and, over the longer run, we will benefit from the faster growth in the Canadian market which lower prices will make possible.
The agreement has already brought results. The Canadian Government revoked its controversial plan and, on January 18, reduced all relevant duties to zero. I am informed that the Canadian Parliament will be asked to give its approval in the near future.
We recognize, of course, that full integration of the North American automobile industry cannot be brought about all at once. To allow time for adjustment, the Canadian sector of the industry—less than one-twentieth the size of ours—will operate initially under special arrangements. The agreement itself will be subject to comprehensive review no later than January 1, 1958. We should then be in a position to judge what further steps are necessary.
In signing the agreement, I pledged myself to ask the Congress to authorize the President to remove all U.S. duties on Canadian automobiles and parts for original equipment. I am today sending to the Congress draft legislation which would give the President that authority. The proposed legislation would also authorize the President to make similar automotive agreements with other countries, and to make agreements leading to mutually beneficial reduction of duties on replacement parts.
I repeat: In my judgment, the agreement will benefit both Canada and the United States, and the automotive industry and automotive workers in both countries. However, we recognize that adjustments in an industry of such size could result in temporary dislocation for particular firms and their workers. To provide appropriate relief, the bill I propose will make applicable the adjustment assistance of title III of the Trade Ex-ansion Act of 1962.
The tariff change contemplated in the automotive agreement is, however, a special case. Tariffs will be cut to zero,
all at one time. Furthermore, dislocation, if it should occur, may well be due as much to the decrease in exports of certain products as to an increase in imports. Therefore, this bill calls for special procedures for obtaining adjustment assistance. These special procedures will be limited in application to this agreement and to a transition period of 3 years. If a similar agreement is made with another country, or if we should make agreements affecting replacement parts, appropriate adjustment assistance legislation will be recommended to the Congress.
The agreement and this bill are designed to lead to a more efficient organization of the North American automotive industry. It is based on mutual trust and will result in mutual benefit— benefit to producers, to labor, and to consumers on both sides of the border.
Canada has acted. It is our turn. In order that we may act, I ask the Congress to approve promptly this legislation.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

construction of a new chancery in SAIGON
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid be-for the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
The White House, Washington, April 1,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting herewith a bill to authorize the construction of a new building to replace our damaged chancery in Saigon, Vietnam. In this bill I am requesting authorization of $1 million which will permit us to build a new chancery promptly. This new building may be either complete in itself or the first stage of a larger chancery, as experience dictates. In either case, it will be a dignified, efficient, economical, secure, and permanent place of business for the United States in Saigon.
This new building will be one more symbol of our solidarity with the people of Vietnam. It will show them that the United States has no intention of abandoning them in the face of Communist terrorism and aggression. It will show them that we intend to live up to our commitments.
This new building will also show the Communists in Hanoi and their tools in the Vietcong that wanton murder of civilians and destruction of civilian property cannot deflect us from our stated purposes in Vietnam.
To emphasize this determination and resolve, I request the Congress to act promptly on this bill.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

SALINE WATER CONVERSION PROGRAM
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
The White House, Washington, March 29,1965.
Dear Mr. President: Past generations of Americans have been blessed with an abundance of sparkling, clean water. But in recent years we have become careless in our stewardship of this vital resource—polluting, wasting, and carelessly exploiting it.
Water sortages—real as well as prospective—already plague some regions of our land. Other areas and communities will soon be threatened. Yet, we must have an abundance of fresh water if we are to continue to grow and prosper.
Action to conserve what nature has so generously provided has often been inadequate and too late. We are determined not to make this mistake again. I have already pledged full support for cleaning up our rivers—and keeping them clean. We will continue to foster conservation by planning for the wisest possible use of all existing water supplies and by curbing and eliminating wasteful and uneconomic uses of water.
But these steps are not enough. New sources of supply at competitive costs are also required if we are to stay abreast of the ever-mounting demands for water. The seas around us offer an inexhaustible reservoir to help meet this need in coastal areas while vast quantities of brackish water are available to supplement the supplies of many inland areas. We must spare no effort in learning how to desalt these waters economically.
For the past 12 years the United States has been engaged in a program of research and development which has brought desalting technology to a point where it shows promise of economic application in the future. To stimulate the translation of this promise into reality, I requested the Department of the Interior last July to develop, in close collaboration with the Atomic Energy Commission, a proposed program which would significantly advance large-scale desalting technology.
The resulting report entitled “Program for Advancing Desalting Technology” was completed promptly and released to the public on October 26, 1964. It recommended—and I am transmitting with this letter draft legislation to accomplish—expansion, extension, and acceleration of the salt water conversion research and development activities now being conducted by the Department of the Interior under authority of the Anderson-Aspinall Act of 1961.
This legislative proposal would increase by $200 million the $75 million appropriation authorization provided in the 1961 act and extend through 1972 the
time during which the authorized funds would be available to support this important program. Enactment of this legislation is vital if the Department of the Interior is to mount and lead the substantial sustained effort necessary to achieve truly economical desalting of sea and brackish waters.
In the meantime, I have already transmitted to the Congress a request for a supplemental appropriation of $3.9 million in 1965 to enable the Department, through a reorganized Office of Saline Water, to accelerate its research and development activities along the general lines outlined in the report mentioned above. Desalting activities will receive continuing emphasis in 1966. My budgetary recommendations to Congress for the coming fiscal year amount to $29 million for the Office of Saline Water, more than double the amount appropriated for 1965.
By pressing ahead with a vigorous program of economic desalting to meet our ever-growing domestic needs for water, we will at the same time provide the technology which can be shared with other nations. This technology could prove to be the key that will unlock the door to economic growth for many of these nations.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the power for good, the palliative effect on age-old animosities and problems, that would result from providing an abundance of water in lands which, for countless generations, have known only shortage. To stimulate cooperation in the field with such great potential for the good of mankind, the United States will convoke a symposium of interested nations in October 1965 to exchange information on desalting technology.
In recommending this measure to the Congress, I wish to acknowledge the foresight of such able legislators as Clinton Anderson, Wayne Aspinall, and the late Clair Engle. Our present efforts in desalting rest in substantial measure upon the sound foundation they laid and on which we intend to build. I earnestly hope that their leadership and the progress which it has inspired can be carried forward without interruption by the prompt enactment of the bill I am transmitting today.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
PUBLIC WORKS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States:
The White House, Washington, March 31,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am today sending for appropriate reference a proposed Public Works and Economic Development Act to carry out the recommendations in my message to the Congress of March 25,1965.
As I said in that message, a growing nation cannot afford to waste its human and natural resources—too often neglected and unused in distressed areas. Nor can we afford to shut out large numbers of our fellow citizens from the fulfillment of hope which is shared by the rest of us. The millions of people living in those areas and regions of our Nation which have not shared fully in our general prosperity are in urgent need of help.
This bill is based upon experience under the accelerated public works program and the area redevelopment program. It rests on the assumption that there is little hope of establishing new industry in an area which does not have the public works and development facilities necessary to support industrial growth. It is, therefore, basically and essentially a public works bill. More than half of the $510 million of annual appropriations authorized by this bill would be used for grants for public works and development facilities.
The bill also contains provisions encouraging the formation of groups of counties into regions. Special inducements would be made available for the creation of multicounty economic development districts. Grants would be authorized for multistate regional action planning commissions to enable them to prepare long-range regional economic development programs, including necessary public works and other development facilities.
To provide maximum utilization of the basic public works and development facilities constructed under this act, and to insure the actual creation of permanent jobs where the opportunities for new long-term employment can immediately be made available. I am recommending that an improved form of the industrial and commercial loan program of the present Area Redevelopment Administration be coupled with a public works grant program. Both forms of assistance are necessary to achieve the effective long-range economic development of these distressed areas—grants for adequate public works and environmental facilities, and loans so that new industrial and commercial enterprises can be formed or expanded to take advantage of these public facilities.
By combining the best features of the accelerated public works program and of the area redevelopment program, we can begin to insure to all Americans the opportunity to maintain their dignity and self-respect as responsible, productive members of our society.
I recommend that the Congress take early action on this legislation so that this program will be in effect when the present Area Redevelopment Act expires on June 30, 1965.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ACT OF 1965
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry:
The White House,
April 5, 1965.
Dear Mr. President: We have set forth five basic policy objectives for our programs in agriculture and the rural community:
An abundance of food and fiber at reasonable and stable prices for the people of the United States;
A workable balance between supply and demand at lower costs to the Government;
Opportunity for the efficient family farmer to earn parity of income from farming operations;
Parity of opportunity for all rural people, including new opportunity for small farmers; and
Effective use of our agricultural resources to promote the interest of the United States and world peace through trade and aid.
The legislative proposals for farm commodity programs which are transmitted herewith have been prepared within the framework of these policy guides. We seek no banner to wave for partisan advantage; we seek to find in this most difficult area the means by which American agriculture and the family farm can share in our rich and growing economy as fully as they contribute to it.
For more than three decades, and particularly since the end of World War II, the United States has experienced a staggering revolution in the techniques of farming. Science and technology, applied to agronomy and animal husbandry, have brought the American people a greater abundance of food and fiber than the citizens of any nation in history have ever known. Prior to the Second World War, farming productivity was increasing at only half the rate of industrial growth; but since 1945, it has increased at twice the speed of industrial growth.
As a result, food expenditures today take a smaller part of the family income than ever before. Less than $1 of take-home pay out of every $5 is spent for food, and the proportion continues to decline.
However, the enormous advances in agricultural efficiency have left the farmer working harder and enjoying it less. Prices for his products are 5 percent lower today than 15 years ago. Only a small fraction of our farmers earn parity of income—returns comparable to earnings for similar work and investment. Many farmers do not even earn the minimum wage.
This inadequate return to the farmer is a consequence of the revolution of abundance in agriculture. If productivity in industry had increased in the past decade at the same rate as in agriculture, the 1963 level of industrial output could have been produced with 8 million fewer workers than were actually employed.
Commodity programs are the primary instrument which the farmer and the national economy use to cushion the force of the output revolution. So long as the advance in agricultural technology continues to outpace the growth of population at home and the markets abroad, farm commodity programs will continue to be an indispensable element of national economic policy.
Even with commodity programs, the farms which require substantially more labor than the farm family can provide have declined in number in the postwar period; only the family farm with adequate resources has grown in number and in the volume of output. All others have declined.
The sensible policy for commercial agriculture is not to do away with commodity programs, but to improve them so that agriculture will provide an opportunity to earn a parity income for that growing group of farm families on farms large enough to be efficient.
In a real sense, the legislative proposals transmitted herewith do more than modify and extend commodity programs. They seek also to apply the forces of a vigorous marketplace to the needs of commercial agriculture so that we can turn more of our attention and more of our tax dollars to revitalizing rural life and rooting out the poverty which is all too prevalent in rural America.
The proposals provide, particularly in the case of wheat and rice, that the farmer should look to the marketplace for the dollars which will bring him closer to parity of income.
There was a time when the cost of food at the farm translated nearly dollar for dollar into retail food costs. That is no longer the case. Today, when marketing charges account for nearly two-thirds of retail food prices, even a significant rise in farm prices has far less impact than do changes in nonfarm cost. A 50-cent increase in the price of a bushel of wheat for example will increase the cost of a loaf of bread by little more than 1 cent.
The modifications in commodity programs also take into account world markets. Price and Income support programs should not prevent the American farmer from competing effectively in world markets. The market prices for commodities under the proposals would
be near world levels, as are the prices for feed grains and soybeans now.
We propose to compete fairly and vigorously for the fast-growing markets in the world. From 1958 to 1964, while the dollar value of farm products sold domestically rose by less than a billion, the dollar sales of food and fiber exports increased by nearly $2.5 billion. The new commodity proposals will help to keep us competitive in world markets, sharing fully in future growth of food and fiber trade.
We also seek to find less costly means to achieve needed adjustments in production. Thus, the proposal for a cropland adjustment program is designed to remove up to 40 million acres of cropland through long-term contracts. We now have over 55 million acres of cropland out of production annually, most of it under the year-to-year diversion features of individual commodity programs. In the first year, with only 8 million acres in the program, we estimate the savings from the cropland adjustment program compared with annual programs will be about $35 million.
The cropland adjustment program, combined with the individual commodity programs, will provide the best and least costly means of bringing production into balance with domestic needs and export opportunities. Thus, the policies for commercial agriculture contained in this legislation are so constructed that all parts acting together provide an effective means of bridging the gap between the farmer and national prosperity while they provide all our people with continued access to food and fiber abundance.
Title I of the draft bill would extend for 2 years, with amendments, the voluntary wheat-marketing certificate program enacted by the Congress last year for the 1964 and 1965 crops of wheat. This program has reduced Government cost and has given wheat farmers added flexibility, especially valuable where crop alternatives are limited. In order to provide adequate support to the incomes of wheat producers while further reducing costs to the Government and increasing our reliance on the market, the maximum level of price support which the Secretary could provide for wheat processed for use as food in the United States would be increased from 90 to 100 percent of parity. The Secretary could permit producers voluntarily to divert up to 50 percent instead of 20 percent of their allotted acreage from production, and the Secretary would be given additional discretion in establishing diversion payment rates. Other major provisions would be continued. The wheat program enacted in the Agricultural Act of 1962 would be inoperative until the 1968 crop.
Title II of the draft bill would extend for another 2 years the voluntary feed grain program first enacted on an emergency basis in 1961. This program has raised the income of feed grain producers, reduced surplus stocks by nearly 30 million tons, given farmers maximum flexibility of operation within a framework of price supports, and has provided
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

needed stability for the livestock industry. The feed grain program would be amended to give the Secretary discretion to establish acreage diversion and price-support payment rates at levels designed to meet the objectives of the program. In addition, the production of soybeans could be encouraged under new authority.
Title III of the draft bill would provide for 2 years for major amendments in the method of making price support available to producers of rice. The proposed marketing certificate program would follow the principle of the wheatmarketing certificate program first enacted by the Congress in 1962 and reenacted in 1964, of providing substantial income support from domestic consumption, while supporting market prices near world levels. The Secretary would be authorized to provide price support through the mechanism of both loans and marketing certificates on the quantity of rice produced for the domestic market, in a range of 65 to 100 percent of parity. Price support for rice produced for export would be provided to producers only through loans. The level of price support loans would be related primarily to world market prices. Marketing certificates would be issued to farmers on a graduated scale in order to provide small producers somewhat higher average unit returns than larger producers. Provisions for acreage allotments and marketing quotas for rice which have operated for many years would remain in effect. The proposed revision in the method of supporting rice prices would make it possible to continue to support the incomes of ricegrowers while reducing Government expenditures and placing more reliance on the domestic market to return adequate incomes to growers. The Secretary would be authorized to take such actions as he determined to be necessary to assist the industry in making the transition from the current program to the proposed program. Existing provisions of law with regard to price supports for rice would be suspended until 1968.
Title IV of the draft bill would provide for a 2-year extension and for further amendment of the Wool Act of 1954, as amended. This act has operated successfully to help stabilize wool production and bolster incomes of wool producers. Funds are provided out of customs receipts on imported wool and wool products. Amendments are proposed which would authorize the Secretary to take into account the production and the prices of lambs in determining the level price support for wool, and would remove the present requirement that the Secretary set wool price supports at levels which would encourage the production of up to 360 million pounds ®f wool in the United States. In addition, provision is made for graduating incentive payments according to the quantity of wool produced in order to provide higher returns to small producers.
Title V of the draft bill would provide a long-term cropland adjustment program to supplement the annual acreage diversion programs in achieving and 35-100—s J—89-1-----------18
maintaining a supply-demand balance for farm products. It is expected that substantial savings would be realized under this program compared with annual diversion under the feed grain and wheat programs. The program is designed not only to supplement the commodity programs, but also to enable elderly farmers to retire from farming while continuing to live on their farms, to assist farmers who want to reduce their farming operations in order to shift to other employment, to conserve natural resources and add to the beauty of the countryside, and to improve the quality of rural and urban life. This program would amend the Soil Bank Act to authorize the Secretary to enter into 5- to 10-year contracts during the period 1965-70 for the diversion of cropland to conservation uses. The Secretary could provide for such payments as would be necessary to encourage producers to enter into such contracts. Provision would be made also for the Secretary to cooperate with other Federal, State, and local agencies in permanently shifting cropland into public uses such as parks or recreational areas. Grazing or other agricultural uses of land contracted under this program would be prohibited, except in case of emergencies. Local communities would be protected by a limitation on the percentage of the cropland acreage in any area that could be contracted. We are convinced that a long-term cropland adjustment program can provide not only substantial savings to the Government and new opportunities for rural people, but also for long-range remedial action which will benefit the farm economy.
Title VI of the draft bill would give the Secretary of Agriculture authority to provide for the lease and sale of acreage allotments under the production adjustment programs of the Department of Agriculture. Such transfers would be limited to family-sized farms in the State of origin of the allotment. Small farmers who decide to stop farming or who have stopped farming can realize the value of their allotments while retaining their farms under this title. Operators of family-sized farms who wish to continue and to expand their farming operations could have the opportunity to increase their acreage of allotment crops.
We are continuing to study and to discuss with producers and the industry the means by which the cotton program can be improved so as to reduce the cost of the program and the level of cotton stocks while keeping cotton competitive with other fibers and in world markets.
Enclosed is a more detailed summary of the provisions of the proposed bill.
I urge that the Congress give these proposals prompt consideration.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

Whereas, in the ten years since the introduction of the Salk vaccine, there has been a 99 per centum reduction in the number of cases of polio in the United States; and
Whereas this dread disease which once attacked as many as fifty-seven thousand Americans in a single year and made the summer months a time of fear and apprehension for parents across the Nation has now been eliminated as a public health problem; and

Whereas a leading example of how this partnership is continuing and expanding is the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California; and
Whereas this institute was conceived as a research center where scientists of international reputation could come and map out the high strategy of man’s fight for health; and
Whereas Doctor Salk and his colleagues from all over the world are now at work on projects aimed at discovering the basic concepts of life itself; and
Whereas from this research can flow the specific methods to control disease and to promote the health and better understanding of man and his full potential: Now be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring'), That Doctor Jonas Salk and the National Foundation March of Dimes be congratulated on this tenth anniversary of the announcement of the world’s first effective vaccine against polio, and that the Nation express its gratitude to Doctor Salk and to his colleagues concerned with this historic discovery and to the Foundation and that our confidence be expressed that the work of the National Foundation March of Dimes—specifically its fight against birth defects—and of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies will bring about the blessings of better health for our society and all its citizens.

Whereas the U.S. program for general and complete disarmament in a peaceful world, introduced at the 16th session of the United Nations General Assembly, defined the objective of the United States as “A world where there shall be a permanent state of general and complete disarmament under effective international control” and the “institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations” and called for the creation of an International Disarmament Organization to insure compliance with disarmament obligations, a U.N. Peace Force to keep the peace during the period of disarmament and thereafter, and improved processes for the peaceful settlement of international disputes; and
Whereas President Kennedy, in addressing the 18th session of the U.N. General Assembly on September 20, 1963, called for the revision of the Charter of the U.N. to permit the development of that body into “a genuine world security system,” and declared that the peacekeeping machinery of the United Nations must be strengthened by the adoption of sound financial arrangements and the maintenance of standby peace force contingents by member nations, and that resort to special missions for the conciliation and adjudication of international disputes be increased; and
Whereas the realization of these goals through international negotiations, U.N. Charter revision, or otherwise, is a matter of urgency because (1) technological and political developments have given rise to new perils to peace through the increasing spread of nuclear weapons, as evidenced by the successful detonation of a nuclear device by the Chinese Communists, the continued development of

an independent nuclear deterrent by France, and the possibility that several other nations, which have the capacity to make nuclear weapons, will follow a similar course; and (2) the increasing cost of the arms race is preventing human needs from being met in all the countries of the world; and
Whereas the U.N. General Assembly, during recent sessions, has resolved to keep in being the Committee on Arrangements for the purpose of reviewing the charter, and has further resolved to ask the Committee to submit periodic reports, with recommendations, to future sessions of the General Assembly; and
Whereas the achievement of an inter-, national accord for general and complete disarmament under effective controls and the development of international peacekeeping machinery require not only the support of the Congress, but also an informed public opinion in the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President should be supported in his efforts to achieve peace and disarmament under legally effective controls and to develop international institutions capable of permanently keeping the peace.
Sec. 2. The President is hereby requested to formulate as speedily as possible specific and detailed proposals for the implementation of the foreign policy objectives of the United States regarding the establishment of an international authority to keep the peace under conditions of general and complete disarmament effectively guaranteed by adequate inspection and controls. In formulating such proposals, the President is requested to consider whether the development of effective international machinery for the supervision of disarmament and the maintenance of peace, including (1) an International Disarmament Organization; (2) a permanent World Peace Force; (3) world tribunals for the peaceful settlement of all international disputes not settled by negotiations; (4) other international institutions necessary for the enforcement of world peace under the rule of law; and (5) appropriate and reliable financial arrangements for the support of such peacekeeping machinery, may best be achieved by revision of the Charter of the United Nations, by a new treaty, or by a combination of the two.
Sec. 3. The President should make such proposals available to the Congress and to the public generally.
Sec. 4. The President is requested to transmit copies of this resolution to the heads of government of all of the nations of the world and to urge them to initiate within their governments studies of matters germane to this resolution and to fomulate and make generally available recommendations based upon such studies.

Under the order of the Senate on yesterday,
The Senate resumed the consideration of its unfinished business, viz, the bill (H.R. 2362) to strengthen and improve educational quality and educational opportunities in the Nation’s elementary and secondary schools.
The question being on agreeing to the amendments yesterday proposed by Mr. Ervin (for himself, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Stennis) (being amendment No. 70), viz, at the end of the bill add a new title designated as “Title VI,” as follows:
Sec. 601. Not less than thirty days before making any disbursement or grant under the provisions of this Act or any appropriation Act implementing it, the Commissioner shall cause to be published in the Federal Register a notice that he proposes to make such disbursement or grant on a day to be specified in such notice. At any time before the day so specified, any taxpayer of the United States suing in behalf of himself and all other taxpayers may bring a civil action in the nature of an action for a declaratory judgment against the Commissioner
in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia alleging that the proposed disbursement or grant is inconsistent with the first amendment, fifth amendment, or any other provision of the Constitution of the United States. Notwithstanding any decision, statute, or rule to the contrary, the United Sates District Court for the District of Columbia shall have jurisdiction to entertain, try, and determine such civil action, and to enjoin the making of the proposed disbursement or grant in case it adjudges that the proposed disbursement or grant is inconsistent with the first amendment, fifth amendment, or any other provision of the Constitution of the United States. Upon the bringing of such civil action, the Commissioner shall refrain from consummating the proposed disbursement or grant and withhold the amount of the proposed disbursement or grant until the final determination of the civil action. In the event two or more civil actions are brought under the provisions of this section challenging the constitutional validity of the same proposed disbursement or grant, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia may consolidate such civil actions for the purpose of trial and judgment.
On pages 74 to 80, both inclusive, renumber title VI as title VII and sections 601, 602, 603, 604, and 605 as sections 701, 702, 703, 704, and 705.

That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the House and agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House amendment insert the following: That this Act may be cited as the “Manpower Act of 1965.”
Sec. 2. Section 101 of the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”), is amended by inserting before the last sentence thereof the following new sentence: “The Congress further finds that many professional employees who have become unemployed because of the specialised nature of their previous employment are in need of brief refresher or reorientation educational courses in order to become qualified for other employment in their professions, where such training would further the purposes of this Act.”
Sec. 3. (a) Section 102(5) of the Act is amended by adding a comma after the word “arrange” and inserting “through grants or contracts,” immediately following the comma.
(b) Section 102 of the Act is further amended by striking out “and” at the end of paragraph (4), by striking out the period at the end of paragraph (5) and inserting in lieu of such period “; and”, and by adding at the end of such section the following new paragraph:
“(6) establish a program of experimental, developmental, demonstration, and pilot projects, through grants to or contracts with public or private nonprofit organizations, or through contracts with other private organizations, for the purpose of improving techniques and demonstrating the effectiveness of specialized methods in meeting the manpower, employment, and training problems of worker groups such as the long-term unemployed, disadvantaged youth, displaced older workers, the handicapped, members of minority groups, and other similar groups. In carrying out this subsection the Secretary of Labor shall, where appropriate, consult with the Secretaries of Health, Education, and Welfare, and Commerce, and the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. Where programs under this paragraph require institutional training, appropriate arrangements for such training shall be agreed to by the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, He shall also seek the advice of consultants with respect to the standards governing the adequacy and design of proposals, the ability of applicants, and the priority of projects in meeting the objectives of this Act.”
Sec. 4. (a) Title I of the Act is amended by renumbering sections 103 and 104 as sections 106 and 107, respectively, and by inserting immediately after section 102 the following new sections:
“Job development programs
“Sec. 103. The Secretary of Labor shall stimulate and assist, in cooperation with interested agencies both public and private, job development programs, through on-the-job training and other suitable methods, that will serve to expand employment by the filling of those service and related needs which are not now being met because of lack of trained workers or other reasons affecting employment or opportunities for employment.
“Labor mobility demonstration projects “Sec. 104. (a) During the period ending June 30, 1967, the Secretary of Labor shall develop and carry out, in a limited number of geographical areas, pilot projects designed to assess or demonstrate the effectiveness in reducing unemployment of programs to increase the mobility of unemployed workers by providing assistance to meet their relocation expenses. In carrying out such projects the Secretary may provide such assistance, in the form of grants or loans, or both, only to involuntarily unemployed individuals who cannot reasonably be expected to secure full-time employment in the community in which they reside, have bona fide offers of em
ployment (other than temporary or seasonal employment), and are deemed qualified to perform the work for which they are being employed.
“(b) Loans or grants provided under this section shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary shall prescribe, with loans subject to the following limitations:
“(1) there is reasonable assurance of repayment of the loan;
“(2) the credit is not otherwise available on reasonable terms from private sources or other Federal, State, or local programs;
“(3) the amount of the loan, together with other funds available, is adequate to assure achievement of the purposes for which the loan is made;
“(4) the loan bears interest at a rate not less than (A) a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the average market yield on outstanding Treasury obligations of comparable maturity, plus (B) such additional charge, if any, toward covering other costs of the program as the Secretary may determine to be consistent with its purposes; and
“(5) the loan is repayable within not more than 10 years.
“(c) Of the funds appropriated for a fiscal year to carry out this Act, not more than $5,000,000 may be used for the purposes of this section.
“Trainee placement assistance demonstration projects
“Sec. 105. During the period ending June 30, 1967, the Secretary of Labor shall develop and carry out experimental and demonstration projects to assist in the placement of persons seeking employment through a public employment office who have successfully completed or participated in a federally assisted or financed training, counseling, work training, or work experience program and who, after appropriate counseling, have been found by the Secretary to be qualified and suitable for the employment in question, but to whom employment is or may be denied for reasons other than ability to perform, including difficulty in securing bonds for indemnifying their employers against loss from the infidelity, dishonesty, or default of such persons. In carrying out these projects the Secretary may make payments to or contracts with employers or institutions authorized to indemnify employers against such losses. Of the funds appropriated for fiscal years ending June 30, 1966, and June 30, 1967, not more than $200,000 and $300,000, respectively, may be used for the purpose of carrying out this section.”
(b)	Section 102(2) of the Act is amended by striking out “104” and inserting in lieu thereof “107”.

REPORT ON PROPOSED ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION AT GRAND COULEE DAM
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
The White House, April 13,1965. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President: Electricity is a basic requirement of modern society. It is vital to our industries, farms, and homes. The Nation’s rapidly expanding use of electricity is expected to more than double and perhaps triple by 1980. This calls for the combined efforts of all segments of the power industry—private, cooperative, and public. Therefore, I am pleased to transmit herewith the report of the Secretary of the Interior concerning the economic and engineering feasibility of a third powerplant at Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River and a draft of authorizing legislation. I have approved the Secretary’s report and recommend that the draft legislation be enacted to authorize the construction of this outstanding proj -ect.
The proposed third powerplant will ultimately add 3.6 million kilowatts of generating capacity to the 2.0 million kilowatts at the two existing powerplants.
When completed, the total capacity of the powerplants at Grand Coulee Dam will total 5.6 million kilowatts. It will be larger than any single hydroelectric development in the world today.
Authorization and construction of the third powerplant at the Grand Coulee Dam will further the orderly development of the vast water resources of the Columbia River. This is the next logical step following two important events which occurred last year.
First, Prime Minister Pearson of Canada and I met last September to proclaim the Columbia River Treaty for Cooperative Development of the Columbia River—one of the great rivers of this continent. Canada has already started construction of huge dams to store water on its side of the border. These reservoirs will provide 15.5 million acre-feet of water storage in Canada. This storage capacity will provide increased protection of people and property in both countries from devastating floods and greatly enhance the hydroelectric potential of powerplants on the Columbia River.
The United States must construct additional power-generating facilities at its existing system of dams to take full advantage of this potential. The Grand Coulee Dam, because of its location in relation to other Columbia River powerplants, its height, its large reservoir capacity, and the reregulation of riverflow by Chief Joseph Dam immediately downstream, will develop a major share of the increased power potential made possible by the treaty.
Second, the Congress approved last year a four-line, extra-high-voltage transmission intertie between the Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Southwest. It represents exciting new developments in electric power technology. It is the largest single electrical transmission program ever undertaken in this country and is one of the finest examples of cooperation among publicly owned and privately owned utilities and the Federal Government.
The rapidly growing demands for electric power in the Pacific Northwest will readily absorb the power produced by the proposed powerplant. However, some peaking power and secondary (not regularly available) power that is surplus to the needs of the Northwest in the early years of the project can be marketed in the Pacific Southwest over the intertie. Thus, the intertie will permit maximum utilization of the waters flowing past Grand Coulee Dam, resulting in conservation in its truest sense.
The economic and financial feasibility of the third powerplant are exceptionally favorable. The benefit-cost ratio is more than 3 to 1. Revenues from the sale of power will more than pay for the capital investment within 50 years. In addition to power benefits, the project will provide increased flood-protection benefits by improving control of water stored in Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake behind Grand Coulee Dam.
Accordingly, I commend the Secretary’s report to your consideration and recommend early enactment of the au
299
thorizing legislation which I have transmitted.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

Whereas it is generally believed that Whitehall, Washington County, New York, formerly Skenesborough, can well be considered the birthplace of the United States Navy, as twelve of the fifteen ships that took part in the Battle of Valcour in October 1776 were built in its harbor; and
Whereas this fleet was constructed after the Declaration of Independence and engaged in the first naval battle after the Colonies asserted their unity and independence; and
Whereas the Battle of Valcour, though dimmed by the glamour sur
rounding the Battle of Saratoga, nevertheless played a very important part in shaping the destinies of the Colonies by forestalling early invasion of the Colonies from the north; and
Whereas Whitehall’s place in history had not heretofore been given the recognition it justly deserves for the contribution made by it in shaping the early destiny of our beloved country: Therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Congress of the United States, hereby recognize the Village of Whitehall, Washington County, New York, as being the birthplace of the United States Navy.

reached a record of nearly $1.4 billion in fiscal 1964, an amount almost triple that of the previous year.
By centering AID’S effort in those countries, relatively few in number, which are able to follow the disciplined and arduous path to progress.
By concentrating more on long-term development which fosters self-sustaining growth and an eventual end to the need for external aid.
In fiscal year 1964, more than 45 percent of the total AID program was in the form of development assistance. This compares to 25 percent 3 years ago.
At the same time, AID was able to make savings of more than $9 million by introducing increasingly higher standards of operating efficiency into its administrative structure and by reducing direct-hire employment by more than 1,100.
Statistics cannot tell the whole story. Recipient countries increasingly understand that we are engaged in a common enterprise. The relatively small measure of resources that the United States can provide must largely serve only as a catalyst for their own efforts. Many nations, accustomed to tradition, are finding solutions to modem problems through new techniques: increased savings, effective land reform, efficient tax systems, and other steps toward progress.
Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than the progress of the Alliance for Progress, which with strong U.S. participation is bringing significant changes in Latin America:
In Ecuador, a 146-mile all-weather highway has been completed connecting the capital city, Quito, and the coastal city of Quevedo. The road traverses some of the most difficult mountain terrain in the world. It has opened up rich coastal land to settlers.
In Chile, a $5 million loan to assist the Central Savings & Loan Bank has supported a nationwide system of new private savings and loan associations. Twenty-two such associations are now operating. These thrift institutions had financed the construction of more than 10,000 homes by the end of 1963, and 10,000 more were to be built in 1964.
In Brazil, an AID agreement is helping improve the living standards of 25 million people in the northeast, one of Latin America’s major underdeveloped areas and politically one of the most vulnerable to Communist influence. A total of 270 health units has been constructed or renovated. Water supply units are under construction in 70 cities and towns. Electricity has come to 73 towns; 2,290 new homes and 2,900 classrooms have been built. Twenty-four teacher-training and supervisory centers have been established. An additional 14,000 classrooms are under construction. Agreements for the training of 28,000 teachers have been made; 4,700 have actually completed their courses.

REPORT ON FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am pleased to transmit the Annual Report on the Foreign Assistanace Program of the United States for fiscal year 1964. It demonstrates that our program of international assistance is fulfilling its promise to the world and to America.
We are engaged in this great effort for many reasons. We seek too alleviate poverty, starvation, and disease. We seek also to resist aggression and to promote independence and self-determination for the people of other nations.
In these pursuits there is no conflict between “humanitarian” goals and “national” goals. Our own security rests on the security of others. Their good health is our good health. As they prosper we prosper. Our concern must—and does— transcend national borders.
Neither is there conflict between “economic” goals and “military” goals. Neither purpose is sufficient by itself. Military security without economic and political development brings no lasting benefits; economic help to people vulnerable to aggression would largely be wasted.
In promoting the growth of free nations, the United States must serve both as partner and leader. We travel a difficult road. On the basis of our experience in recent years. I am persuaded that we are on the right road.
The Agency for International Development is successfully applying a hard test of where and how our limited resources will yield the greatest rewards:
By enlisting America’s private resources in what is increasingly a joint endeavor. AID specific risk guaranties of American private investment in the less developed countries, for instance,
337
AID’S story extends to many other parts of the world:
In west Pakistan, a development loan to expand the capacity of the railway system helped the Pakistan Western Railway to handle the increasing transportation load for the first time in several years.
In India, an intensive effort to streamline the teaching of science and mathematics in order to develop higher skills among Indian youth was conducted with U.S. assistance. AID financed 44 6-week institutes at 34 locations in which 80 U.S. college and high school educators demonstrated modern teaching techniques to some 1,700 Indian teachers.
In Israel, work was completed on the modernization of Lod International Airport, near Tel Aviv, which is used by a dozen international airlines. A local currency loan made earlier by the United States financed the installation of American-made navigation, communications, and radar equipment to improve efficiency and safety at the airport.
In Afghanistan, a U.S. firm of industrial consultants under AID contract is investigating the development possibilities of a variety of local private industries which could produce goods for export or to replace imports, thus strengthening the country’s balance-of-payments position.
In Iran, a project conducted by the Iranian Army with the assistance of the U.S. AID mission and the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group provides training for soldiers in nine vocational fields.
In Taiwan, the Shihmen multipurpose dam was completed in June 1964 with AID assistance. The project includes a 436-foot dam, a 256,000-acre-foot reservoir, two 45,000-kilo-watt generators, a new irrigation canal system, and a public water supply system. Besides providing the new power source, the dam project will irrigate about 145,000 acres of doublecrop paddy fields and reduce flood damage in the Taipei area.
In Korea, 30 new diesel electric locomotives financed by a U.S. loan are now in operation. Because of greater efficiency and load capacity, they are expected to save more than $1 million a year in foreign exchange expenditures for fuel.
In the Philippines, a new coconut-processing system which could revolutionize this food industry was developed in a research project directed by the Armour Research Institute, working withf the National Science Foundation under an AID contract.
In Nigeria, AID-sponsored projects at the University of Nigeria and at the Aijetoro and Port Harcourt comprehensive schools are revolutionizing secondary and higher education, adapting it more closely to that country’s development needs.
Slowly, but I believe steadily, all these efforts are leading nations to greater

economic prosperity and social stability. Countries such as Greece, Taiwan, and Israel, long recipients of our economic support and encouragement, are emerging to a stage of progress where they no longer need or economic assistance. Other nations, poised at the crossroads of political decisions, are watching. We must not—and we will not—falter in building this bridge to a more peaceful future.

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR MILITARY REQUIREMENTS IN VIETNAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Appropriations :
To the Congress of the United States:
I ask the Congress to appropriate at the earliest possible moment an additional $700 million to meet mounting military requirements in Vietnam,
This is not a routine appropriation. For each Member of Congress who supports this request is also voting to persist in our effort to halt Communist aggression in South Vietnam. Each is saying that the Congress and the President stand united before the world in joint determination that the independence of South Vietnam shall be preserved and Communist attack will not succeed.
In fiscal year 1965 we will spend about $1.5 billion to fulfill our commitments in southeast Asia. However, the pace of our activity is steadily rising. In December 1961, we had 3,164 men in South Vietnam. By the end of last week the number of our Armed Forces there had increased to over 35,000. At the request of the Government of South Vietnam in March, we sent Marines to secure the key Da Nang-Phu Bai area; 2 days ago, we sent the 173d Airborne Brigade to the important Bien Hoa-Vung Tau area. More than 400 Americans have given their lives in Vietman.
In the past 2 years, our helicopter activity in South Vietnam has tripled— from 30,000 flying hours in the first quarter of 1963 to 90,000 flying hours in the first quarter of this year.
In February we flew 160 strike sorties against military targets in North Vietnam. In April, we flew over 1,500 strike sorties against such targets.
Prior to mid-February we flew no strike sorties inside South Vietnam. In March and April, we flew more than 3,200 sorties against military targets in hostile areas inside the country.
Just 2 days ago, we dispatched Gen. C. L. Milburn, Jr., Deputy Surgeon General of the Army, to assist U.S. representatives in Vietnam in formulating an expanded program of medical assistance for the people of South Vietnam. We are contemplating the expansion of existing programs under which mobile medical teams travel throughout the countryside providing on-the-spot medical facilities, treatment, and training in rural areas.
The additional funds I am requesting are needed to continue to provide our forces with the best and most modern supplies and equipment. They are needed to keep an abundant inventory of ammunition and other expendable. They are needed to build facilities to house and protect our men and supplies.
The entire $700 million is for this fiscal year.
The Secretary of Defense will today support this request before the appropriate congressional committees.
Nor can I guarantee this will be the last request. If our need expands I will turn again to the Congress. For we will do whatever must be done to insure the safety of South Vietnam from aggression. This is the firm and irrevocable commitment of our people and Nation.
I have reviewed the situation in Vietnam many times with the Congress, the American people, and the world. South Vietnam has been attacked by North Vietnam. It has asked our help. We are giving that help because our commitments, our principles, and our national interest demand it.
342
This is not the same kind of aggression with which the world has been long familiar. Instead of the sweep of invading armies, there is the steady, deadly stream of men and supplies. Instead of open battle between major opposing forces, there is murder in the night, assassination and terror. Instead of dramatic confrontation and sharp division between nationals of different lands, some citizens of South Vietnam have been recruited in the effort to conquer their own country.
All of this shrouds battle in confusion. But this is the face of war in the 1960’s. This is the “war of liberation.” Kept from direct attack by American power, unable to win a free election in any country, those who seek to expand communism by force now use subversion and terror. In this effort they often enlist nationals of the countries they wish to conquer. But it is not civil war. It is sustained by power and resources from without. The very object of this tactic is to create the appearance of an internal revolt and to mask aggression. In this way, they hope to avoid confrontation with American resolution.
But we will not be fooled or deceived, in Vietnam or any place in the world where we have a commitment. This kind of war is war against the independence of nations. And we will meet it, as we have met other shifting dangers for more than a generation.
Our commitment to South Vietnam is nourished by a quarter century of history. It rests on solemn treaties, the demands of principle, and the necessities of American security.
A quarter century ago it became apparent that the United States stood between those who wished to dominate an entire continent and the peoples they sought to conquer.
It was our determined purpose to help protect the independence of the Asian peoples.
The consequence of our determination was a vast war which took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Surely this generation will not lightly yield to new aggressors what the last generation paid for in blood and towering sacrifice.
When the war was over, we supported the effort of Asian peoples to win their freedom from colonial rule. In the Philippines, Korea, Indonesia, and elsewhere we were on the side of national independence. For this was also consistent with our belief in the right of all people to shape their own destinies.
That principle soon received another test in the fire of war. And we fought in Korea, so that South Korea might remain free.
Now, in Vietnam, we pursue the same principle which has infused American action in the Far East for a quarter of a century.
There are those who ask why this responsibility should be ours. The answei' is simple. There is no one else who can do the job. Our power is essential, in the final test, if the nations of Asia are to be secure from expanding communism. Thus, when India was attacked, it looked
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
to us for help, and we gave it gladly. We believe that Asia should be directed by Asians. But that means each Asian people must have the right to find its own way, not that one group or nation should overrun all the others.
Make no mistake about it. The aim in Vietnam is not simply the conquest of the South, tragic as that would be. It is to show that American commitment is worthless. Once that is done, the gates are down and the road is open to expansion and endless conquest. That is why Communist China opposes discussions, even though such discussions are clearly in the interest of North Vietnam.
Moreover, we are directly committed to the defense of South Vietnam. In 1954 we signed the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty. That treaty committed us to act to meet aggression against South Vietnam. The U.S. Senate ratified that treaty and that obligation by a vote of 82 to 1.
Less than a year ago the Congress, by an almost unanimous vote, said that the United States was ready to take all necessary steps to meet its obligations under that treaty.
That resolution of the Congress expressed support for the policies of the administration to help the people of South Vietnam against attack—a policy established by two previous Presidents.
Thus we cannot, and will not, withdraw or be defeated. The stakes are too high, the commitment too deep, the lessons of history too plain.
At every turning point in the last 30 years, there have been those who opposed a firm stand against aggression. They have always been wrong. And when we heeded their cries, when we gave in, the consequence has been more bloodshed and wider war.
We will not repeat that mistake. Nor will we heed those who urge us to use our great power in a reckless or casual manner. We have no desire to expand the conflict. We will do what must be done. And we will do only what must be done.
For, in the long run, there can be no military solution to the problems of Vietnam. We must find the path to peaceful settlement. Time and time again we have worked to open that path. We are still ready to talk, without conditions, to any government We will go anywhere, discuss any subject, listen to any point of view in the interests of a peaceful solution.
I also deeply regret the necessity of bombing North Vietnam.
But we began those bombings only when patience had been transformed from a virtue into a blunder—the mistaken judgment of the attackers. Time and time again men, women, and children—Americans and Vietnamese—were bombed in their villages and homes while we did not reply.
There was the Novembei’ 1 attack on the Bien Hoa Airfield. There was the Christmas Eve bombing of the Brinks Hotel in Saigon. There was the February 7 attack on the Pleiku base. In these attacks 15 Americans were killed and 245 were injured. And they are only
May 4
a few examples of a steady campaign of terror and attack.
We then decided we could no longer stand by and see men and women murdered and crippled while the bases of the aggressors were immune from reply.
But we have no desire to destroy human life. Our attacks have all been aimed at strictly military targets—not hotels and movie theaters, and embassy buildings.
We destroy bridges, so it is harder to convey the instruments of war from North to South. We destroy radar stations to keep our planes from being shot down. We destroy military depots for the infiltration of men and arms to the South. We patrol routes of communications to halt the invaders. We destroy ammunition dumps to prevent the use of explosives against our men and our allies.
Who among us can feel confident that we should allow our soldiers to be killed, while the aggressor sits smiling and secure in his sanctuary, protected by a border which he has violated a thousand times. I do not believe that is the view of the American people or of the Congress.
However, the bombing is not an end in itself. Its purpose is to bring us closer to the day of peace. And whenever it will serve the interests of peace to do so, we will end it.
And let us also remember, when we began the bombings there was little talk of negotiations. There were few worldwide cries for peace. Some who now speak most loudly were quietly content to permit Americans and Vietnamese to die and suffer at the hands of terror without protest. Our firmness may well have already brought us closer to peace.
Our conclusions are plain.
We will not surrender.
We do not wish to enlarge the conflict.
We desire peaceful settlement and talks.
And the aggression continues.
Therefore I see no choice but to continue the course we are on, filled as it is with peril and uncertainty.
I believe the American people support that course. They have learned the great lesson of this generation: Wherever we have stood firm aggression has been halted, peace restored, and liberty maintained.
This was true in Iran, in Greece, and Turkey, and in Korea.
It was true in the Formosa Straits and in Lebanon.
It was true at the Cuban missile crisis.
It will be true again in southeast Asia. Our people do not flinch from sacrifice or risk when the cause of freedom demands it. And they have the deep, abiding, true instinct of the American people: When our Nation is challenged it must respond. When freedom is in danger we must stand up to that danger. When we are attacked we must fight.
I know the Congress shares these beliefs of the people they represent.
I do not ask complete approval for every phrase and action of your Government. I do ask for prompt support of

our basic course; resistance to agrees-sion, moderation in the use of power, and a constant search for peace. Nothing will do more to strengthen your country in the world than the proof of national unity which an overwhelming vote for this appropriation will clearly show. To deny and delay this means to deny and to delay the fullest support of the American people and the American Congress to those brave men who are risking their lives for freedom in Vietnam.

On page 2, line 8, change the figure 6 to the figure 5.
On pages 4 to 8, both inclusive, strike out sections 4 and 5, as follows:
“Sec. 4. (a) To assure that the right of citizens of the United States to vote is not denied or abridged on account of race or color, no citizen shall be denied the right to vote in any Federal, State, or local election because of his failure to comply with any test or device in any State with respect to which the determinations have been made under subsection 4(b) or in any political subdivision with respect to which such determinations have been made as a separate unit, unless the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in an action for a declaratory judgment brought by such State or subdivision against the United States has determined that the effects of denial or abridgment, if any, of the right to vote on account of race or color have been effectively corrected by State or local action and that there is no reasonable cause to believe that any test or device sought to be used by such State or subdivision will be used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color: Provided, That a final judgment heretofore or hereafter rendered by any court of the United States, determining that denials or abridgments of the right to vote on account of race or color through the use of such tests or devices have occurred anywhere in the
territory of any such plaintiff, may be introduced in any such declaratory judgment action brought within five years of such final judgment as prima facie evidence of the facts found by the court, except that notwithstanding this provision the judgment shall retain whatever legal effect it would have under existing law.
“An action pursuant to this subsection shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The court shall retain jurisdiction of any action pursuant to this subsection for five years after judgment and shall reopen the action upon motion of the Attorney General alleging that a test or device has been used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.
“If the Attorney General determines that he has no reason to believe that any such test or device has been used during the five years preceding the filing of the action for the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, he shall consent to the entry of such judgment.
“(b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply in any State or in any political subdivision of a State which (1) the Attorney General determines maintained on November 1, 1964, any test or device, and with respect to which (2) the Director of the Census determines (A) that less than 50 per centum of the persons, other than aliens and persons in active military service and their dependents, of voting age residing therein were registered on November 1, 1964, or that less than 50 per centum of such persons voted in the presidential election of November 1964, and (B) that according to the 1960 census, more than 20 per centum of the persons of voting age were nonwhite; or, (3), notwithstanding the foregoing (1) and (2), the Director of the Census determines, by a survey made upon the request of the Attorney General that the total number of persons of any race or color who are registered to vote in any State or political subdivision is less than 25 per centum of the total number of all persons of such race or color of voting age residing in such State or political subdivision.
“A determination or certification of the Attorney General or of the Director of the Census under this subsection or under section 6 shall be final and effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
“(c) The phrase ‘test or device’ shall mean any requirement that a person as a prerequisite for voting or registration for voting (1) demonstrate the ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter, (2) demonstrate any education achievement or his knowledge of any particular subject, (3) possess good moral character, or (4) prove his qualifications by the voucher of registered voters or members of any other class.
“(d) For purposes of this section no State or political subdivision shall be determined to have engaged in the use of tests or devices for the purpose of deny-

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
ing or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color if (1) incidents of such have been limited in number and have been promptly and effectively corrected by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.
“Sec. 5. Whenever a State or political subdivision with respect to which the prohibitions set forth in section 4(a) are in effect shall enact or seek to administer any voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting different from that in force or effect on November 1, 1964, such State or sub-divison may institute an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for a declatory judgment that such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure does not have the purpose or will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, and unless and until the court enters such judgment no person shall be denied the right to vote for failure to comply with such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure unless such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure has been submitted by the chief legal officer or other appropriate official of such State or subdivision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has not interposed an objection within sixty days after such submission. Neither the Attorney General’s failure to object nor a declaratory judgment entered under this section shall bar a subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure. Such an action shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court.”
and insert in lieu thereof the following:
Sec. 4. When he has reason to believe that any State or political subdivision of a State is engaged in denying or abridging the rights of citizens to vote on account of race or color, the Attorney General may institute an action in the name of the United States in the district court of the United States against such State or political subdivision in the district in which the capital of the State in question is located or in which the political subdivision in question is situated, against such State or political subdivision, alleging that it is engaging in denying or abridging the rights of citizens to vote on account of race or color. Upon demand of the Attorney General, such action shall be tried by a three-judge district court convened in the manner prescribed by Sixty-second Statutes at Large, page 968 (28 U.S.C. 2284). In case the court finds on the trial on such action that the State or political subdivision in question is denying or abridging the rights of citizens to vote on account of race or color, the court shall so adjudge and shall authorize the appointment of examiners by the Civil
Service Commission in accordance with section 5 to serve for such period of time and in such political subdivision of such State or such political subdivision as the court shall determine is appropriate to enforce the guaranties of the fifteenth amendment. It shall be the duty of the judge or judges designated to hear the case to assign the case for hearing at the earliest practicable date, to participate in the hearing and determination thereof, and to cause the case to be in every way expedited.
On page 8, line 22, strike out everything from the semicolon down to and including the word “amendment” on page 9, line 11, as follows: or (b) unless a declaratory judgment has been rendered under section 4(a), with respect to any political subdivision named in, or included within the scope of determinations made under section 4(b) that (1) he has received complaints in writing from twenty or more residents of such political subdivision alleging that they have been denied the right to vote under color of law on account of race or color, and that he believes such complaints to be meritorious, or (2) that in his judgment (considering, among other factors, whether the ratio of nonwhite persons to white persons registered to vote within such subdivision appears to him to be fairly attributable to violations of the fifteenth amendment), the appointment of examiners is otherwise necessary to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment” and insert in lieu thereof the following: or section 4
On page 19, lines 14 and 15, strike out the words “any declaratory judgment pursuant to section 4”.
Renumber sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 as sections 5, 6, 7,

REORGANIZATION OF THE FOREIGN SERVICE
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
The White House, May 6, 1965.
Dear Mr. President: In my message of January 14, 1965, to the Congress relative to foreign aid, I stated that we would develop “a program which is designed to strengthen the personnel capabilities of all the foreign affairs agencies of the Government.”
As part of this program, I have already taken certain important steps. On April 13, 1965,1 transmitted for the advice and consent of the Senate a list of 760 USIA career officers for appointment as Foreign Service officers. By this action, we take a big step toward a unified and flexible career Foreign Service of the United States better equipped to meet the pressing needs of modem diplomacy. Today I have signed an Executive order “providing for the appointment in the competitive service of certain present and former officers and employees of the Foreign Service.” This will permit qualified Foreign Service personnel to obtain appointments to civil service positions without reexamination. This will assist me in placing the right man in the right job.
The appointment of U.S. Information Agency officers as Foreign Service officers and the signing of this order are two steps in the plan to improve and strengthen the administration of personnel employed in the agencies whose business is foreign affairs. Additional reforms will require legislation. Toward this end, there is pending in the House of Representatives a measure (H.R. 6277) to provide much needed amendments to the Foreign Service Act of 1946. That bill has been ably developed by Congressman Wayne Hays, of Ohio, chairman of the House Subcommittee on State Department Organization and Foreign Operations, following discussions with administration officials. Enactment of a bill along the lines of the Hays bill is another vital step.
I urge the Congress to enact amendments to the Foreign Service Act this year. I say “this year,” so that the Secretary of State and I, and the other officials, can get on with the task of providing the very best personnel system we can produce for foreign affairs.
Our ability to seize the opportunities and to use our vast resources to further the aims of U.S. foreign policy must in large measure rest on the dedication and capabilities of people involved in our foreign activities. In no other area of governmental activity is it more vital to our national interest to develop and retain a corps of well-qualified men and
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

women. It must also attract the outstanding youth of today so that tomorrow’s work will be in capable hands.
The new system we seek to establish will be based on the following principles:
(a)	There will be a single foreign affairs personnel system, broad enough to accommodate the personnel needs— domestic as well as overseas—of the Department of State, the Agency for International Development, and the U.S. Information Agency, and to cover appropriate personnel of other agencies engaged in foreign affairs.
(b)	This system must be fully responsive to Presidential requirements and the changing conditions in our foreign relations.
(c)	Although certain basic policies and perquisites will be applied to all members of the system, full recognition will be given to the differences between the various categories of personnel and their respective conditions of service.
(d)	The heads of the participating agencies will be responsible for implementing personnel policies and for the management control of their own personnel.
(e)	Free interchange of personnel among the foreign affairs agencies and between these agencies and the other departments and agencies of the executive branch will be sought.
(f)	Maximum flexibility will be sought in the assignment process to enable management to meet unique requirements and crisis conditions with maximum efficiency and at a minimum cost.
(g)	Increased coordination with the civil service system will be provided for closer liaison with the Civil Service Commission on various personnel activities.
(h)	Appointments, promotions, and selection-out of personnel will be based on the principle of competitive evaluation.
To carry out these principles, legislation is needed to do a number of things. Among these are:
(1)	Provide a new category of professional career officers who would serve in the Foreign Service without time limitation, primarily for service in this country. This category should be called foreign affairs officers. They should have personal rank and be subject to the same merit principles with respect to appointment, promotion, and selection-out as the other categories. Provision should be made for foreign affairs officers of classes 1, 2, and 3 to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and those of classes 4 through 8 to be appointed by the President alone or by the Secretary of State when directed by the President.
(2)	Provide a transitional period of 3 years during which civil service employees of the foreign affairs agencies may decide to become participants in the new system without screening and without loss of compensation. Those who do not wish to participate will be assisted in obtaining suitable employment in other Government agencies.
But after the transitional period the dual Foreign Service-Civil Service personnel systems of the foreign affairs agencies woud be ended, and only the unified Foreign Service would apply. The Secretary of State will be responsible for its overall management.
(3)	Eliminate restrictions on the periods of service of Foreign Service personnel in the headquarters of Government agencies.
(4)	Reduce the requirements regarding length of service in other Government agencies prior to establishing eligibility for appointment into the Foreign Service officer classes 1 through 7.
(5)	Eliminate present restrictions on reappointments of Foreign Service Reserve officers.
(6)	Permit extension of selection-out and serverance pay provisions, now limited to Foreign Service officers, to all officers and employees of the Foreign Service.
To meet the present-day realities of service abroad, legislation also is needed to provide important changes in benefits available to Foreign Service personnel. These have been made necessary by trouble-spot situations of service, such as in the Congo or in Vietnam. It is only right that we properly and compassionately look after the men and women whom we must send to such places to do our Government’s business. These changes are:
Amendment to the Annual and Sick Leave Act to permit continuation of employees in duty status if they incur injury or illness arising from a hostile act in line of duty or stemming from the fact that they were located abroad.
Amendment to the Overseas Differentials and Allowances Act to permit increasing the differential from the present limit of 25 percent to a limit of 50 percent when an employee is assigned duty in a foreign area where there is unusual danger of injury directly due to hostile activity.
Amendment to the Foreign Service Act, section 911, to permit the payment of travel expenses of employees and dependents when warranted by extraordinary conditions, or circumstances involving unusual personal hardship.
Representatives of the Department of State, the Civil Service Commission, and others are prepared to explain the administration’s position on this measure and to help in any way they can.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

REPORT OF NATIONAL CAPITAL HOUSING AUTHORITY
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia:
To the Congress of the United States:
In accordance with the provisions of section 5(a) of Public Law 307, 73d Congress, approved June 12, 1934, I am sending for the information of the Congress the report of the National Capital Housing Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30,1964.
At this period, there is a wholesome and welcome national interest—extending far beyond the geographic limits of this District of Columbia—in developing our Nation’s Capital City as a proud and beautiful showcase of America at its best. This interest is heartening and hopeful. I believe we may reasonably and responsibly expect that these next years immediately ahead will be the finest years in the history of the city of Washington.
As I have indicated in my previous messages to you, the challenges here are many and our efforts must proceed with courage and perseverance on many fronts. The most basic challenge—requiring our most determined perseverance—lies on the front of housing now, as it has for 30 years.
In 1934, early in his administration, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Congress began the attack on slums and blighted housing in the District of Columbia with the Alley Dwelling Act. Over this span, the National Capital Housing Authority has carried forward that attack. But, as this report notes, “The evidence of a critical shortage of adequate housing for low-income families in the District of Columbia is overwhelming.”
We can be pleased that the National Capital Housing Authority is presently accelerating its efforts to enlarge the supply of housing available for low-income families. But this acceleration must continue. If we are to make certain that the city of Washington is a great capital worthy of a great nation, it is fundamental that our families residing here must have good homes in which to live.
Our goal for the Nation is a decent neighborhood for every family. The fulfillment of that goal should—and must— be realized here in the Nation’s Capital.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, May 12,1965.
REPORT OF RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the
358
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
May 12
President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
To the Congress of the United States:
In compliance with the provisions of section 10(b) 4 of the Railroad Retirement Act, approved June 24, 1937, and of section 12(1) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, approved June 25, 1938, I am sending for the information of the Congress, the report of the Railroad Retirement Board for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1964.
Since the inception of these programs nearly 30 years ago, almost $15 billion has been paid to railroad employees and their families in retirement and survivor benefit payments and unemployment-sickness benefits. In the fiscal year covered by this report, retirement and survivor benefit payments were made to 970,000 beneficiaries—$704 million to retired employees, $119 million to wives, and $274 million to survivors of deceased employees.
It is noteworthy that the 423,000 retired employees receiving annuities as of June 30, 1964, averaged 74 years of age and their annuities average $140. Disability annuitants averaged 66 years of age and payments to them average $127.
During the term of this report, an average of 785,000 persons held jobs covered by the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts, 11,000 fewer than in the previous year. On a monthly basis, employment during February 1964, dipped to the lowest total of any month since 1937—this low point total was 767,000. Higher individual earnings—averaging $6,800 per job or $100 more than in 1962-63—largely offset the declining employment, so that the total railroad payroll for 1963-64 amounted to $5.4 billion, about the same as in the preceding year.
The report of Chairman Howard W. Harbermeyer of the Railroad Retirement Board is comprehensive and detailed, and I commend it to the Congress for review and study.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, May 12, 1965.
proposed federal and military pay INCREASES
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service:
To the Congress of the United States:
America expects—and receives—much from her public servants.
In every field of endeavor vital to the security of this Nation—from foreign affairs to science and technology to national defense—we depend on the career men and women of the Federal service for competence, devotion, loyalty, and responsibility.
I have been a part of this service for almost 35 years. I have seen it perform critical and vital tasks. Most of the time
it has performed at its best—and that is the way we want it to stay.
I believe firmly that the merit system is the keystone of good government.
I believe that the public service is a profession of dignity, opportunity, and profound personal achievement.
I reject the proposition that Government employment is somehow inferior to employment in business, in the professions, in university life, or in any other occupation. There can be no class system separating the men and women who are committed to the service of their fellow men or to the defense of their country.
I also believe strongly in the obligation of the Federal Government to be a good employer. And I define a good employer as one who—
Demands excellence and rewards it;
Is fair and just;
Respects the dignity of his employees;
Insists upon ethical standards and sets a good example;
Practices no discrimination;
Welcome fresh ideas and new approaches;
Fulfills his responsibilities to the community;
Provides opportunities for growth and challenge;
Combines prudent business judgment with enlightened policies on compensation and benefits.
We do not have two standards of what makes a good employer in the United States: one standard for private enterprise and another for the Government. A double standard which puts the Government employee at a comparative disadvantage is shortsighted. In the long run, it costs more.
In all respects, save one, the Federal Government today is meeting the test of a good employer. In the last 4 years we have almost—but only almost—achieved adequate, up-to-date, and fair pay systems for all categories of Government personnel.
We must not cease oui’ effort now.
In my budget message on January 25, 1965, I announced the appointment of a Special Panel on Federal Salaries to review Federal military and civilian pay levels.
That Panel presented its report to me on April 15. It is attached to this message. I have been studying it carefully.
The report contains a series of recommendations concerning adjustments of Federal pay in the fiscal year 1966.
I endorse the proposals of the Panel and recommend early action by the Congress to authorize:
An average increase of 3 percent in Federal civilian salaries.
An average increase of 4.8 percent in compensation of all uniformed personnel, except enlisted personnel with under 2 years of service.
A 2.7-percent increase in base pay of enlisted personnel with less than 2 years of service.
These proposed adjustments will restore the relationships between civilian anti military pay established in 1963,
The adjustments will not bring us to full achievement of the comparability standard enunciated in the Federal Salary Reform Act of 1962, but they will prevent loss of ground already attained.
Before including the full effect in retirement plans, the proposed increases will have a total annual cost of approximately $853 million—$447 million for uniformed personnel and $406 million for civilian personnel. In order to hold the costs of pay adjustments in the fiscal year 1966 within amounts included in the budget for that purpose, I recommend that the increases be made effective January 1, 1966.
Legislation to carry out these recommendations is attached. I ask that it be referred to the appropriate committees of the Congress for early consideration.
The pay adjustments proposed in this message emphasize the obligation of the Federal Government to insist upon maximum return from every dollar spent on a salary.
All agencies of the executive branch are working hard to improve the productivity of their employees and to curtail outmoded activities. All agencies have established personnel control programs which should bring to a halt unwarranted increases in average grades and average salaries.
I am continuing my personal efforts to hold down employment. The most recent monthly report of the Civil Service Commission shows that there are now about 22,000 fewer civilian employees in the executive branch than in December 1963.
New employees must replace many who leave, but additional employment will occur only when our responsibilities permit no other course of action.
I am proud of the progress we have made toward lean and fit competence in the discharge of Federal responsibilities. Adequate pay will help us to continue our advance toward that goal.
The report of the Panel proposes new procedures for acting upon compensation matters in the future.
The first proposal would establish a permanent mechanism for impartial review at 4-year intervals of the structure and interrelationships of all Government salary systems. Following these reviews, the President would be authorized to propose changes in salary schedules for top positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The changes would go into effect automatically at a given date, unless disapproved by resolution of either House of the Congress. Other changes proposed by the President as a result of a quadrennial review would be acted upon through the regular processes for the enactment of legislation.
The second proposal would authorize a procedure for acting, between quadrennial reviews, upon such periodic adjustments in pay rates for Federal civilian and military personnel as may be warranted to keep pace with changes in pay rates elsewhere in the economy. Under this proposal, the President would continue to make prescribed reports annual
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
359
ly to the Congress. When any such annual report includes recommendations for revision of salary rates, these revisions would go into effect automatically at a given date, unless disapproved by resolution of either House of the Congress.
I concur in these recommendations of the Panel.
Legislation to establish the first of these new and improved procedures is attached.
Amendments of existing law to make the second recommendation effective are included in the bills authorizing pay adjustments for civilian and uniformed personnel.
The civilian pay bill also includes an amendment of the Federal Salary Reform Act of 1962 which would carry out another of the Panel’s recommendations. This amendment would give the President discretionary authority to make salary surveys and comparisons in additional fields of non-Federal employment.
Existing law limits the annual surveys and comparisons to “private enterprise.” Collection and analysis of salary rate information in such fields of employment as State and local governments and nonprofit institutions would give added assurance that Federal salary rates are kept in appropriate relationship with salary rates prevailing throughout our economy.
Drafts of legislation to carry into effect other important recommendations contained in the Panel’s report will be promptly transmitted to the Congress. These drafts will propose to:
Authorize certain civilian employees not now receiving premium pay for overtime to receive such pay on an equal basis with other civilian employees.
Establish a coordinated and equitable system for payment of moving expenses to employees transferred for the convenience and benefits of the Government.
Authorize payment of readjustment allowances to certain employees separated involuntarily from Federal employment through no fault of their own.
The report of the Special Panel and this message largely take the place this year of the President’s annual report to the Congress, as required by the Federal Salary Reform Act of 1962. Nevertheless, the report and analysis of the Bureau of the Budget and the Civil Service Commission on the comparison of Federal and private enterprise salary levels, and the views of employee organizations, should be available to the Congress. I am transmitting them by separate communication.
With the enactment of the legislation recommended in this message, we shall have taken still another series of steps in the most far-reaching revision of Federal compensation laws in the history of our country.
We shall be much nearer to full achievement of the comparability standards adopted by the Congress in 1962.
We shall have established for the first time sound procedures for maintaining interrelated salary systems for both civilian and military personnel, which will be based upon fair, clear, consistent, and up-to-date policies.
And we shall be in a far better position to attract and retain in Federal service the best talent in America.
I urge prompt consideration of these proposals. Their results will more than justify their costs.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, May 12,1965.

REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 2 OF 1965
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Mondale in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Government Operations:
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1965, prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and providing for the reorganization of two major agencies of the Department of Commerce: the Weather Bureau and the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
The reorganization plan consolidates the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Weather Bureau to form a new agency in the Department of Commerce to be known as the Environmental Science Services Administraiton. It is the intention of the Secretary of Commerce to transfer the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards to the Administration when the reorganization plan takes effect. The new Administration will then provide a single national focus for our efforts to describe, understand, and predict the state of the oceans, the state of the lower and upper atmosphere, and the size and shape of the earth.
Establishment of the Administration will mark a significant step forward in the continual search by the Federal Government for better ways to meet the needs of the Nation for environmental science services. The organizational improvements made possible by the reorganization plan will enhance our ability to develop an adequate warning system for the severe hazards of nature— for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and seismic sea waves, which have proved so disastrous to the Nation in recent years. These improvements will permit us to provide better environmental information to vital segments of the Nation’s economy—to agriculture, transportation, communications, and industry, which continually require information about the physical environment. They will mean better services to other Federal departments and agencies—to those that are concerned with the national defense, the exploration of outer space, the management of our mineral and water resources, the protection of the public health against environmental pollution, and the preservation of our wilderness and recreation areas.
The new Administration will bring together a number of allied scientific disciplines that are concerned with the physical environment. This integration will better enable us to look at man’s physical environment as a scientific whole and to seek to understand the interactions among air, sea, and earth and between the upper and lower atmosphere. It
will facilitate the development of programs dealing with the physical environment and will permit better management of these programs. It will enhance our capability to identify and solve important long-range scientific and technological problems associated with the physical environment. The new Administration will, in consequence, promote a fresh sense of scientific dedication, discovery, and challenge, which are essential if we are to attract scientists and engineers of creativity and talent to Federal employment in this field.
The reorganization plan provides for an Administrator at the head of the Administration, and for a Deputy Administrator, each of whom will be appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. As authorized by the civil service and other laws and regulations, subordinate officers of the Administration will be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce or be assigned by him from among a corps of commissioned officers. The Administration will perform such functions as the Secretary of Commerce may delegate or otherwise assign to it and will be under his direction and control.
Commissioner officers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey will become commissioned officers of the Administration and may serve at the discretion of the Secretary of Commerce throughout the Administration. The reorganization plan authorizes the President at his discretion to fill the office of Deputy Administrator by appointment, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, from the active list of commissioned officers of the Administration.
The reorganization plan transmitted herewith abolishes—and thus excludes from the consolidation mentioned above—the offices of, first, Chief of the Weather Bureau, provided for in the act of October 1, 1890, 15 U.S.C. 312; second, Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, provided for in the acts of June 4, 1920, and February 16, 1929, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 852; 852a; and third, Deputy Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, provided for in the act of January 19, 1942, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 852b.
After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1965 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended. I have also found and hereby declare that by reason of the reorganizations made by the reorganization plan, it is necessary to include in the plan provisions for the appointment and compensation of the officers of the Administration set forth in section 4 of the reorganization plan. The rate of compensation fixed for each of these officers is that which I have found to prevail in respect of comparable officers in the executive branch of the Government.
In addition to permitting more effective management within the Department of Commerce, the new organization will ultimately produce economies, These
362
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
May 13
economies will be of two types. The first, and probably the most significant, is the savings and avoidance of costs which will result from the sharing of complex and expensive facilities such as satellites, computers, communication systems, aircraft, and ships. These economies will increase in significance as developments in science and technology bring into being still more advanced equipment. Second, integration of the existing headquarters and field organizations will permit more efficient utilization of existing administrative staffs and thereby produce future economies. It is, however, impracticable to specify or itemize at this time the reductions of expenditures which it is probable will be brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations included in the reorganization plan.
I recommend that the Congress allow the accompanying reorganization plan to become effective.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

PLAN FOR PRESIDENT TO BRING BALTIC STATES QUESTION BEFORE UNITED NATIONS
Mr. Murphy submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 35); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas the greatness of the United States is in large part attributable to its having been able, through democratic process, to achieve a harmonious national
unity of its people, even though they stem from the most diverse of racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds; and
Whereas this harmonious unification of the diverse elements of our free society has led the people of the United States to possess a warm understanding and sympathy for the aspirations of people everywhere; and
Whereas so many countries under colonial domination have been or are being given the opportunity to establish their own independent states, while, on the other hand, the Baltic nations having a great historical past and having enjoyed the blessings of freedom for centuries are now subjugated to the most brutal colonial oppression; and
Whereas the Communist regime did not come to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia by legal or democratic process, and in fact took over these countries by force of arms; and
Whereas Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians desire, fight, and die for their national independence; and
Whereas the Government of the United States of America maintains diplomatic relations with the Governments of the free Baltic Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia and consistently has refused to recognize their seizure and forced “incorporation” into the Soviet Union; and
Whereas the Select Committee of the House of Representatives, created by H. Res. 346 of the Eighty-third Congress to investigate the incorporation of the Baltic States into the Soviet Union, found that the incorporation of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia was contrary to established principles of international laws: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President of the United States bring the Baltic States question before the United Nations and ask the United Nations to request the Soviet Union to do the following: (1) Withdraw all Soviet troops, secret police, agents, colonists, and all controls from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia; (2) return to their homes all Baltic exiles and deportees from Siberia, prisons, and slave-labor camps in the Soviet Union; and be it further
Resolved, That the United Nations conduct free elections in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia under its supervision and punish all Russian Communists who are guilty of crimes against the people of the Baltic States.

religious persecution by SOVIET RUSSIA
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Bass in the chair) laid before the Senate the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res 17) to express the sense of Congress against the persecution of persons by Soviet Russia because of their religion; and
The Senate, under its order of today, proceeded to consider the said concurrent resolution; and the reported amendments to the text having been agreed to,
The concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to, as follows:
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring'), That it is
the sense of the Congress that persecution of any persons because of their religion by the Soviet Union be condemned, and that the Soviet Union in the name of decency and humanity be urged to cease executing persons for alleged economic offenses, and to permit fully the free exercise of religion and the pursuit of culture by Jews and all others within its borders.
The preamble, as amended, was agreed to as follows:
Whereas the Congress of the United States deeply believes in freedom of religion for all people and is opposed to infringement of this freedom anywhere in the world; and
Whereas abundant evidence has made clear that the Government of the Soviet Union is persecuting, in varying degrees of intensity, elements of its Christian, Jewish, and Muslim citizens; and
Whereas there is also abundant evidence that Jewish citizens have been singled out for extreme punishment for alleged economic offenses, by confiscating synagogues, by closing Jewish cemeteries, by arresting rabbis and lay religious leaders, by curtailing religious observances, by discriminating against Jews in cultural activities and access to higher education, by imposing restrictions that prevent the reuniting of Jews with their families in other lands, and by other acts that oppress Jews in the free exercise of their faith; and
Whereas the Soviet Union has a clear opportunity to match the words of its constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion with specific actions so that the world may know whether there is a genuine hope for a new day of better understanding among all people: Now, therefore, be it

excise tax reductions
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Finance:
To the Congress of the United States:
Fourteen months ago, I signed the Revenue Act of 1964, which reduced the income taxes of the American people by $14 billion.
That action had a profound impact on the American economy:
Consumer buying rose $28 billion.
Business investment in plant and equipment rose $6y2 billion.
Almost 2 million new jobs were created, and unemployment fell to the lowest level in 7 years.
Meanwhile, the stability of our prices— unmatched in the world today—held firm, and our foreign trade surplus set new records.
I am proud of the success of the 1964 tax cut. It proves that taxes do much more than raise revenue to finance Government—they also affect the health and strength of the Nation’s economy.
Unwise tax policy can—
Unduly restrict private purchasing power;
Hold back economic growth;
Stifle incentives;
Distort decisions by consumers and producers ;
Enlarge rather than shrink budget deficits.
On the other hand, wise tax policy can—
Raise the purchasing power of private citizens;
Expand production and create jobs;
Stimulate initiative and improve efficiency ;
Reduce budget deficits by expanding the tax base and increasing tax revenues.
We used tax policy last year to achieve those goals.
As a result, this month we passed a milestone in economic history: more than 50 months of unbroken peacetime expansion.
But we cannot stand still. We must continually adjust our tax system to assure that it makes a maximum contribution to our economic growth.
For that reason I am recommending reductions in excise taxes as well as increases in user charges.
EXCISE TAXES
I recommend an excise tax reduction of $3.5 billion in two equal stages effective July 1, 1965, and January 1, 1966.
I also recommend further reductions on January 1 of each year from 1967 through 1969 totaling $464 million.
Many of our existing excises were born of depression and war. Many were designed to restrain civilian demand in wartime and thereby free resources for military use. They need to be reexamined to assure that they do not hold back an expanding peacetime economy.
368
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
May 17
The proposed program of excise tax cuts and revisions will spur growth and move us closer to full employment by removing an unnecessary drag on consumer and business purchasing power. It will also—
Lower prices to consumers;
Lessen the burden of regressive taxes on low-income families;
Raise business profits by expanding sales and cutting costs of tax compliance;
Cut the Government’s costs of tax collection and enforcement;
End an unfair burden on many businesses and workers who produce the commodities singled out for excise taxation;
Free consumers from the distorting effects of these taxes on their market choices.
THE PROGRAM OF EXCISE TAX REDUCTION
In the budget for fiscal year 1966 I proposed an excise tax reduction of $1.75 billion effective July 1, 1965, and an increase in user charges of $300 million.
Our improving fiscal position, together with our developing economic situation, now makes it possible and desirable to double the recommended excise tax cut.
Responding strongly to an expanding economy, revenues for both fiscal years 1965 and 1966 are now estimated substantially higher than oui’ conservative January estimates:
For fiscal 1965, we now expect revenues to be $1.4 billion above the January figure of $91.2 billion.
For fiscal 1966, we now anticipate— given the tax program as proposed in January—that revenues would be about $1.6 billion above the January estimate of $94.4 billion.
We can make the recommended tax cuts and still realize total revenues well above—and a deficit well below—our earlier estimates for fiscal 1966.
Because the progress of the U.S. economy in 1965 is living up to our expectations, the January proposal for a $1.75 billion reduction this July continues to be appropriate.
But as we look ahead to 1966, we must be alert to the possibility that our taxes will take too much buying power out of the private economy. To foster continued strong expansion of the economy in 1966, I am recommending an additional $1.75 billion reduction of excise taxes, effective January 1, 1966.
The revenue impact on the fiscal 1966 budget of the additional reduction— which will effect only the last half of the fiscal year—will be about $600 million. This will leave a substantial portion of the anticipated increase in revenues above the January budget estimate to reduce the estimated budget deficit.
The reductions I am recommending will accomplish, prudently and responsibly, a major reform of the excise tax structure. We will—
Eliminate most of our present excise taxes on July 1, 1965, and even more on January 1, 1966;
Eliminate the tax on telephone service, in several steps, by January 1, 1969;
Gradually reduce the automobile excise tax from 10 percent now to 5 percent by January 1,1967;
Leave only, in addition, the excises on alcoholic beverages, tobacco, gasoline, tires, trucks, air transportation— and a few other user-charge and special excises—which should remain a part of our tax system.
EXCISE TAX REDUCTION, DEFENSE, AND THE NATION’S ECONOMY
In proposing these reductions, I am fully aware of our present and prospective commitments for the defense of the free world. It is impossible to predict precisely what expenditures these may involve in the future. There is, however, no present indication that expenditures will increase to an extent that would make these excise tax reductions inadvisable.
Indeed, our international responsibilities require that we redouble our efforts to assure the continued healthy growth of our economy. Barring some sudden change in the present world situation, I am sure that these excise tax reductions will be a sound and profitable investment in that growth.
A careful evaluation of our labor supply and industrial capacity—and of the prospective rapid growth of both—indicates that—
The carefully timed stimulus of the excise tax cuts will help us achieve fuller use of the American economy’s great and growing potential without creating pressures that might threaten our fine record of price stability.
Removal of excise taxes will, in fact, cut the prices of many items to consumers and thereby tend to ease pressures on our cost of living.
To insure that the excise tax reductions make the maximum contribution to continued price stability and balanced prosperity, I call on American business to translate lower excise taxes promptly into lower retail prices for consumers.
Business will share fully in the benefits of excise tax cuts through the larger sales volume they will generate. Rising volume will boost profits and create more jobs.
These advances will extend beyond the industries whose taxes are removed or reduced. Consumers and businesses will use some of their gains to enlarge their purchases of other products and services. Demand will be strengthened throughout the economy. And for products bought by businesses, the tax reductions will lower costs.
In these ways excise tax cuts, like income tax cuts, will stimulate total demand in the economy and serve to increase production and incomes by far greater amounts than the cost of the tax reduction itself.
And again, Federal revenues will grow—not shrink—as the final result of tax reduction.
Effective July 1, 1965,1 recommend the following:
Retail taxes: The complete repeal of the existing retail excise taxes on handbags and luggage, toilet articles, jewelry, and furs.
Manufacturers taxes: The complete repeal of the manufacturers excise taxes on business machines, sporting goods— other than fishing equipment—radios, television sets, phonographs, phonograph records, musical instruments, cameras, film and other photographic equipment, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, electric, gas, and oil appliances, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, lighters, matches, and playing cards.
Automobile tax: A reduction of the manufacturers excise tax on passenger automobiles from 10 percent to 7 percent.
Miscellaneous taxes: The complete repeal of the excise taxes on safe deposit boxes, coin-operated amusement devices bowling alleys, and pool tables.
Refunds: To avoid deferral of purchases, the July 1 tax reductions on automobiles and air conditioners to be made retroactive to apply to all consumer purchases after May 14, 1965. Refunds would be made to the manufacturer on presentation of evidence that the final customer had been reimbursed.
I further recommend the following later excise tax reductions:
Local and long-distance telephone service tax: Effective January 1, 1966, a reduction from 10 to 3 percent of the tax on local and long-distance telephone service, including teletypewriter service. A further reduction of 1 percentage point effective each January 1 through January 1, 1969, when the tax will be completely repealed.
Admissions taxes: Effective January 1, 1966, the complete repeal of the excise taxes on admissions, including the tax on general admissions which applies to certain movies, theater performances, concerts, athletic events and racing, the tax on cabarets, and the tax on club dues.
Other manufacturers taxes: Effective January 1, 1966, the complete repeal of the manufacturers taxes on lubricating oil and electric light bulbs, and repeal of the tax on automobile parts and accessories except as it applies to those parts and accessories which are primarily for use only on trucks.
Automobile tax: Effective January 1, 1966, a further reduction to 6 percent in the tax on new passenger automobiles and effective January 1, 1967, a final reduction to 5 percent. I recommend that the excise tax on new automobiles be retained as a continuing revenue source at the 5-percent rate. It is not regressive. It is an important source of Federal revenues. Its compliance and collection costs are exceptionally low.
Documentary stamp taxes: Effective January 1, 1966, the complete repeal of the documentary stamp taxes on the issuance and transfer of stocks and bonds and on deeds of conveyance.
Other communications taxes: Effective January 1, 1966, revision of the tax on local and long-distance telephone service so that it will no longer apply to amounts paid for private communications systems, even where the private system is linked with the general telephone network. This service is almost exclusively a business cost item and competes with nontaxable business communication services. Charges for serv

ice on the general telephone network originating or terminating in the private system would be taxable until the telephone tax is completely repealed. I also recommend complete repeal of the tax on telegraph and wire and equipment service.
In the foregoing program, customer refunds are recommended for purchases after May 14 only in the case of—
Air conditioners, which are unique in their seasonal purchase pattern.
Automobiles, which are unique in the large dollar amount of tax per unit.
I am informed that other business groups affected by the proposed tax cuts have concluded that the advantages of possible refunds are outweighed by the cost and complexity of the paperwork they would involve.
Floor-stock refunds are appropriate for most manufacturers taxes and are so provided in the recommended program.
One further important change concerns the annual automatic reductions in the so-called Korean rates. To avoid the costly and time-consuming process of nullifying these reductions each year, I recommend removal of the automatic reduction dates for the present excise taxes on distilled spirits, wines, beer, and cigarettes.
The Committee on Ways and Means has already held extensive public hearings on excise-tax reduction. Further, the recommended program calls for repeal of the great majority of excises, thereby minimizing the controversy and hard choices that might otherwise have delayed action. Therefore, it is my hope and expectation that the Congress will enact these changes without undue delay.
USER CHARGES
The reductions in excise taxes which I am recommending will contribute to greater economic efficiency and equity in our society.
Pursuit of these very same goals of efficiency and equity demands that we increase certain other excise taxes or impose new ones.
This special class of excise taxes is better described as “user charges.” They are taxes paid by those who benefit from special services provided by the Government. These user charges serve several purposes:
They assess the costs of special services and facilities against those who reap the benefits, instead of imposing unwarranted burdens on the general taxpayer.
They restrain the demands of special groups for expanded services by establishing the principle that the beneficiaries pay at least part of the costs.
In the case of transportation, they help to eliminate the economic distortions which result when competing modes of transportation rely in varying degrees on facilities or services provided by the Government.
Every President since Harry Truman has reaffirmed the principle of user charges and has proposed extension of their use.
President Eisenhower said: “Many services performed and privileges granted by the Government in the public interest also convery a special, added benefit to individuals or groups who can afford to pay for them. In some cases, the fees are substantially below the costs of providing the services. Thus, the general taxpayer is required to subsidize operations which should be self-supporting. The scope and cost of these hidden subsidies have grown considerably during the past decades. I firmly believe in the principle that Government services which give a special benefit to users should be financed by adequate charges paid by the users.”
Substantial constructive action has been taken by the Congress to reaffirm and extend the principle of user charges, particularly in the field of transportation. But user charges have not been applied with an even hand. I would consider it a serious abdication of responsibility if I were to propose a substantial reduction in excise taxes without at the same time moving to correct serious inequities that exist in the field of user charges.
Users of highways come closer to reimbursing the Federal Government for its transportation investment than any other group. But inequities remain among the various classes of highway users.
The airlines and their passengers make substantial—but still insufficient—contributions toward the development and operation of the Federal airways. The airlines operate about 2,000 planes. The private, business, and pleasure aircraft which make up the general aviation sector number some 86,000. Yet general aviation, which receives a large share of the benefits of the Federal airways system, contributes very little toward the cost of the airways.
Users of the inland waterways pay nothing toward the cost either of the initial improvements or of the operation and maintenance of the waterways.
The absence of a fair system of user charges strongly affects the ability of various segments of the transportation industry to compete and obscures the inherent advantages of some modes of transportation. As a result, it unnecessarily increases the cost of transportation to the economy.
I therefore recommend new and additional transportation user charges. These proposals are designed to—
Move toward the elimination of inequities among the several modes of transportation;
Recover a larger part of the outlays by the Federal Government for services and facilities which mainly benefit special groups.
HIGHWAYS
New cost estimates already submitted to the Congress show that the Interstate System will cost $5.6 billion more to complete than previously estimated. The added funds are needed because of increased construction costs, additional design features, and the requirement
that highway capacity be based on estimated traffic 20 years in the future rather than on the traffic anticipated by calendar year 1975. Of this cost increase, $5 billion represents the Federal share.
I recommend that Congress approve this revised cost estimate, as required by law, and authorize the additional necessary appropriations so that the Interstate System can be completed.
Existing user taxes will provide almost $2 billion of the increased costs. This leaves approximately $3 billion to be raised by extending these taxes beyond the present expiration date, or by increasing some of these taxes—or both.
In the interest of advancing this program at an orderly pace, part of this requirement should be met by a short extension of the completion date for the Interstate System and of the existing user charges. I recommend, therefore, that the date for reduction of the taxes earmarked for the highway trust fund be extended from September 30, 1972, to February 28, 1973.
Extending the completion date and the existing user tax program will meet most of the increased costs of the Interstate System. But unless we enact some increase in current revenues to the highway trust fund, a number of States will be required to cut back sharply on their construction programs.
For this reason, I recommend immediate additional user taxes on heavy trucks estimated to yield about $200 million annually until 1973.
Specifically, I recommend—
That the excise tax on highway diesel fuel be raised from 4 cents to 7 cents per gallon;
That the present truck use tax be increased from $3 to $5 per thousand pounds on trucks having a taxable gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds; and
That the tax on tread rubber, largely affecting heavy trucks, be increased from 5 cents to 10 cents per pound. In its extensive study of highway costs and cost responsibilities—submitted to the Congress in preliminary form in 1961 and in final form this year—the Bureau of Public Roads has carefully allocated cost responsibilities among the various classes of highway users. The Bureau’s studies clearly show that heavy trucks are not paying fully for the additional cost of heavier pavement and other design features needed to carry them.
The increases I am proposing will provide the added revenues required to complete the Interstate System. They will also achieve a fairer sharing of costs among the users of the highways.
I have carefully considered proposals for an increase in the limits on sizes and weights of trucks that may legally operate on the Interstate System. As I have noted, substantial undertaxation of heavy trucks now exists. This inequity would be further aggravated if increases in size and weight limits were to be made without imposing the additional user charges. I should not and must not approve legislation to relax these limits for

vehicles on the Interstate System unless the Congress imposes these additional user charges. I will promptly recommend that the size and weight limits on trucks using the Interstate System be raised as soon as just and appropriate user charges are enacted.
AVIATION
In 1961 the Congress took a major step forward in the area of aviation user charges. At that time it dropped the general excise tax of 10 percent on the transportation of persons. But it retained a 5-percent tax on the transportation of persons by air to serve as a user charge. I recommend:
That this tax now be made permanent;
That commercial aviation bear a larger share of its appropriate cost responsibilities through the enactment of a new user tax of 2 cents per gallon on jet fuels and by continuing the existing user tax of 2 cents per gallon on aviation gasoline;
That a user tax of 2 percent be levied on airfreight waybills so that shippers by air as well as air travelers will bear some part of the cost of maintaining the Federal airways.
At the present time general aviation contributes less than 4 percent of its fair share of the cost of developing and maintaining the Federal airways. To replace the present 2-cent tax on aviation gasoline used by general aviation, I recommend a modest user charge of 4 cents per gallon on all fuels used by general aviation. Under this proposal, general aviation would pay 9 percent of its share of total costs.
All of these taxes should be made permanent, and aviation gasoline taxes now transferred to the highway trust fund should be retained in the general fund.
Over the years the Federal Aviation Agency has provided the Congress with careful studies of the appropriate allocation of airways costs among military, commercial, and general aviation users. These studies show that even with these new user charges, the various classes of civil users will still be paying less than their full share of airways costs.
INLAND WATERWAYS
No user charge of any kind is presently in effect on the use of the inland waterways. This is unfair to the taxpayers and to competing modes of transportation. We are currently spending more than $50 million a year for operating and maintaining the inland waterways, and over $200 million a year for new investment. In view of these large and increasing public expenditures, equity requires that users of the inland waterways begin to contribute to the cost of providing their transport network. Accordingly, I recommend a tax of 2 cents per gallon on all fuel used on the inland waterways. The proposed tax will recover a very small fraction of the operating and maintenance costs of the waterways.
DRAFT LEGISLATION AND REVENUE IMPACT
I am transmitting herewith draft legislation to carry out my recommendations.
The attached tables provide the detailed revenue figures associated with my recommendations.
CONCLUSION
I know that the Congress and the country will join me in recognizing our good fortune in being able to declare a new fiscal dividend of nearly $4 billion in excise tax cuts out of the bounty of a prosperous and growing economy—a dividend that will help keep it prosperous and growing.
This is not our first tax cut. It will not be our last. But in consolidating our prosperity and advancing the cause of fairness and balance in our tax system, it will surely rank as one of the most important.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

FAIR LABOR STANDARDS AMENDMENTS OF 1965
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
To the Congress of the United States:
The last thirty years have seen unprecedented economic development in this country and unparalleled improvement in the general standard of living of the working men and women of America.
Most of this has been accomplished privately. These are the fruits of free enterprise.
This process of economic and human growth has been helped by wise legislative enactment, much of it beginning in the decade of the 1930’s.
But progress is never complete. Experience under various existing laws suggests changes which will make them serve even better their purpose, the Nation’s workers, and the economy.
I am accordingly urging early action 1 2 3
1. Amend the Fair Labor Standards to extend its protection to an additional 4y2 million workers, and restrict excessive overtime work through the payment of double time.
2. Strengthen the unemployment insurance program by providing a permanent program of Federal extended benefits for long-term unemployed with substantial work histories.
3. Insure uniform application of our national labor relations policy by the repeal of section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act,
I am transmitting herewith draft bills on the first two proposals. Bills embodying the third have already been introduced in Congress.
FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT
More than a generation of Americans have entered the labor force since we committed ourselves as a nation to the policy of improving the substandard living conditions of millions of our workers.
That policy proposed to eliminate conditions which are “detrimental to the maintenance of the minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency, and general well-being of workers” in industries engaged in interstate commerce;
Many American workers whose employment is clearly within the reach of this law have never enjoyed its benefits. Unfortunately, these workers are generally in the lowest wage groups and most in need of wage and hour protection. We must extend minimum wage and overtime protection to them.
It is also essential to amend the overtime provisions of the act to help achieve a fairer and more effective distribution of employment.
A significant increase in employment can be obtained by distributing to new employees work which is presently performed through excessive overtime. This can be done without impairment of operating efficiency.
The proposed bill will encourage hiring of additional workers by requiring double-time pay for certain overtime work.
It has been urged that the minimum wage level be increased. The present $1.25 hourly rate results in annual earnings, assuming fulltime work throughout the year, of only $2,500. As average wages rise, the minimum wage level should be increased periodically.
The question is not whether the minimum wage should be increased but when and by how much. The Congress should consider carefully the effects of higher minimum wage rates on the incomes of those employed, and also on costs and prices, and on job opportunities—particularly for the flood of teenagers now entering our labor force.
It has also been urged that consideration be given to a reduction in the statutory workweek—the weekly period after which overtime premiums or penalties must be paid.
The developing pattern of collective bargaining reflects changes which are taking place in the practices regarding the length of work periods—daily, weekly, annually, and in terms of the individual’s work life.
I do not think the time for change in the law has come, except with respect to excessive overtime. Careful attention to these developments is nevertheless appropriate and desirable. I am accordingly requesting the National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress to include on its agenda full consideration of the matter of “work periods.”
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE SYSTEM
Improvements in our unemployment compensation system are essential if the program is to exert a stronger stabilizing effect on the economy and provide people with adequate income when out of work. The system has not kept pace with the times. No major improvements have been made since its original enactment 30 years ago.
There are still many workers who are not protected by unemployment compensation. Other workers, through no fault of their own, experience excessively long periods of uncompensated unemployment.
The plight of the long-term unemployed results primarily from economic factors such as automation, other technological changes, and relocation of industry. Their unemployment is a phenomenon of normal as well as recession periods. It can be dealt with effectively only through a nationally coordinated program.
Even in nonrecession periods of recent years, the number of long-term unemployed has remained high. Among unemployment insurance beneficiaries, those unemployed 26 or more weeks represented 15 percent of the total in 1956, 29 percent in 1961, and about 20 percent in 1962 and 1964.
The wider coverage, extended benefit periods, and increased benefit amounts provided in the bill will lessen the hardship and suffering that accompany unemployment and, at the same time, provide stimulus to the economy when it is most needed.
Now, when unemployment is lower than it has been for years, is the appropriate time to modernize the system so that it will better meets the needs of workers, the community, and the Nation.
Today, weekly benefits are often too low in amount and too short in duration in relation to lost wages to enable the workers to meet basic and nondeferrable expenses. Ceilings on compensation all too often fail to yield the original goal of 50 percent of past wages. This is particularly true for workers who have the highest income levels, and these workers are generally heads of family. The bill therefore assures adequate payments for a fixed duration for most regular workers.
The burden of excessively high unemployment costs that exist in several States must be relieved and the financial soundness of the system strengthened. This will be achieved by increasing the amount of wages subject to taxation— the first increase in the history of the program—as well as by increasing the amount of tax and recognizing the Federal responsibility through provision for contributions from general revenues with matching grants for high cost States.
It is essential that this system be administered with both justice and firmness. We know some workers have been denied benefits when justice required payment. We also know some workers have been granted benefits when firmness required their denial. For this
374
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
May 18
reason the proposed legislation calls for steps which will help assure that benefits are paid only to those who are entitled to them and that unreasonable dis-qualificaions are eliminated.
SECTION 14(b) OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT
Finally, with the hope of reducing conflicts in our national labor policy that for several years have divided Americans in various States, I recommend the repeal of section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act with such other technical changes as are made necessary by this action.
I urge that early and favorable consideration be given to the enactment of these three legislative proposals.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT ON WEATHER MODIFICATION
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United
States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Commerce:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am transmitting herewith for the consideration of the Congress the sixth annual report on weather modification for fiscal year 1964, as submitted to me by the Director of the National Science Foundation.
The development of methods for altering weather and climate to the benefit of mankind is a subject of quickening interest in the Congress and the executive branch of the Government of the United States—as, indeed, it is to all of the human race. We recognize that achievement of such a capability would mean vast economic and social gains for human life on this earth. I believe it is both symptomatic and symbolic of the character of the American people that we are now engaged in first steps toward this goal, not for any narrow national purpose, but in the confidence that such benefits will be shared as a mutual blessing with all of our fellow men.
We hope someday to acquire the knowledge permitting us to minimize the incidence and severity of hurricanes, tornadoes, and other violent storms and, also, to be able to improve the temperature and rainfall conditions in agricultural and industrial regions. This hope is not fanciful or unrealistic, but it would be misleading to suggest that such a day is near now.
The scientific and engineering obstacles that must be overcome rank in magnitude with those encountered in developing peaceful uses of nuclear power and compare with those now being encountered in our attempts to place a man on the moon. But weather modification is still several steps behind atomic energy and the exploration of space. These latter are essentially engineering problems—extremely complex, of course, but in areas where the basic scientific laws are well understood. In contrast, the achievement of large-scale purposeful weather modification depends upon scientific knowledge not yet acquired—knowledge about atmospheric phenomena ranging from the interactions of minute water droplets to the behavior of global air circulations. Furthermore, it is essential for us to investigate the manner in which man may at present be inadvertently changing weather and climate.
Substantial progress has been made, as this report reflects. But the pace has been slow. To advance the rate of progress, an effort of larger scope and direction is -needed both in conducting basic research and in developing means to put the knowledge to work.
Over the past year, there have been positive actions which are reviewed in this report. These actions include the following:
First. Increased support for atmospheric research by a number of Federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, U.S. Weather Bureau, National Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration, Department of the Interior, and the Department of Defense.
Second. Establishment of a special Commission on Weather Modification by the National Science Foundation charged with assessing the anticipated benefits to be gained from weather modification efforts; the general paths which research and development should take; the support required; and the legal, social, and political problems that will be encountered if weather modification techniques are more broadly applied.
Third. Greater emphasis on the graduate research and education of promising students who will be involved in atmospheric research.
Fourth. Strengthening cooperation among Federal agencies through the Federal Council for Science and Technology.
Fifth. Stepped up international cooperation in support of weather activities because it is clear that large-scale weather or climate control schemes cannot be contained within national boundaries.
Sixth. It is particularly noteworthy— and welcome—that more activity has been initiated by committees of both Houses of Congress looking carefully into weather modification activities in the light of increased Federal investment in field tests and backup basic research, and in response to increasing interest in moving quickly toward application of our knowledge and capabilities.
If the day is distant and dim when the benefits of weather modification will become real, tangible, and universally enjoyed, it is no longer possible for any to argue justifiably that such a day is beyond the reach of man at all. Our knowledge must be enlarged and perfected, far beyond its present limits. But we can—and we do—believe that eventually these efforts underway now will succeed. That success will inure to the credit of the interest, initiative, and understanding of the Congress in offering encouragement and support to this worthy and important research.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

On motion by Mr. Tower to further amend the substitute amendment, as amended and modified (being No. 124), to the reported amendment, as amended, as follows:
On page 4, line 7, strike out all down to and including line 19, page 5, as follows:
“Sec. 4. (a) To assure that the right of citizens of the United States to vote is not denied or abridged on account of race or color, no citizen shall be denied the right to vote in any Federal, State, or local election because of his failure to comply with any test or device in any State with respect to which the determinations have been made under subsection 4(b) or in any political subdivision with respect to which such determinations have been made as a separate unit, unless the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in an action for a declaratory judgment brought by such State or subdivision against the United States has determined that the effects of denial or abridgment, if any, of the right to vote on account of race or color have been effectively corrected by State or local action and that there is no reasonable cause to believe that any test or device sought to be used by such State or subdivision will be used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color: Provided, That a final judgment heretofore or hereafter rendered by any court of the United States, determining that denials or
abridgments of the right to vote on account of race or color through the use of such tests or devices have occurred anywhere in the territory of any such plaintiff, may be introduced in any such declaratory judgment action brought within five years of such final judgment as prima facie evidence of the facts found by the court, except that notwithstanding this provision the judgment shall retain whatever legal effect it would have under existing law.
“An action pursuant to this subsection shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The court shall retain jurisdiction of any action pursuant to this subsection for five years after judgment and shall reopen the action upon motion of the Attorney General alleging that a test or device has been used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.”
and insert in lieu thereof the following:
Sec. 4. (a) Whenever the Attorney General certifies to the Civil Service Commission (1) that he has received complaints in writing from twenty-five or more residents of a political subdivision of a State each alleging that (A) the complainant can satisfy the voting qualifications of the political subdivision, and (B) the complainant has been denied or deprived of the right to register or to vote on account of race or color within ninety days prior to the filing of his complaint, and (2) that the Attorney General believes such complaints to be meritorious, the Civil Service Commission shall promptly appoint an examiner for such political subdivision who shall be responsible to the Commission. Persons appointed as examiners under this subsection shall be appointed in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as prescribed in section 6 with respect to examiners. A certification by the Attorney General under this subsection shall be final and effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
(b)	The examiner shall examine each person who has filed a complaint certified by the Attorney General to determine whether he was denied or deprived of the right to register or vote within ninety days prior to the filing of such complaint, and to determine whether such person is qualified to vote under State law. A person’s statement under oath shall be prima facie evidence as to his age, residence, and prior efforts to register or otherwise qualify to vote. In determining whether a person is qualified to vote under State law, the examiner shall disregard (1) any literacy test if such person has not been adjudged as incompetent and has completed the sixth grade of education in a public school in, or a private school accredited by, any State or territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or (2) any requirement that such person, as a prerequisite for voting or registration for voting (A) possesses good moral character unrelated to the commission of
May 24
a felony, or (B) prove his qualifications by the voucher of registered voters or members of any other class. If applicable State law requires a literacy test, those persons possessing less than a sixth-grade education shall be administered such test only in writing and the answers to such test shall be included in the examiner’s report.
(c)	If the examiner finds that twenty-five or more of those persons within such political subdivision, who have filed complaints certified by the Attorney General have been denied the right to register or to vote and are qualified to vote under State law, he shall promptly place them on a list of eligible voters, and shall certify and transmit such list to the offices of the appropriate election officials, the Attorney General, and the attorney general of the State, together with a report of his findings as to those persons whom he has found qualified to vote. Service shall be as prescribed by rule 5(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The provisions of sections 7(b) and 7 (c) shall then apply to persons placed on a list of eligible voters. A finding by the examiner under this subsection shall create a presumption of a pattern or practice of denial of the right to register or to vote on account of race or color.
(d)	A challenge to the factual findings of the examiner, contained in the examiner’s report; may be made by the attorney general of the State or by any other person upon whom has been served a certified list and report of persons found qualified to vote, as provided in subsection (c). Such challenge shall be entertained only if filed at such office within the State as the Civil Service Commission shall by regulation designate within ten days after service of the list of eligible voters as provided in subsection (c), and if supported (1) by the affidavit of at least two persons having personal knowledge of the facts constitu-ing grounds for the challenge, and (2) a certification that a copy of the challenge and affidavits have been served by mail or in person upon any person challenged at his place of residence set out in his complaint.
(e)	Upon service of a challenge the Civil Service Commission shall promptly appoint a hearing officer who shall be responsible to the Commission, or promptly designate a hearing officer already appointed, to hear and determine such challenge. A challenge shall be determined within seven days after it has been made. The provisions of section 8(a) shall be applicable with respect to any challenge made under this subsection. A person’s fulfillment of literacy test requirements, if not disregarded by the examiner as provided for in subsection (b), shall be renewed solely on the basis of the written answers included in the examiner’s report required by subsections (c) and (d).
(f)	A pattern or practice of denial of the right to register or to vote on account of race or color is established (1) if a challenge to a finding under subsection (c) has not been made within ten days after service of the list of eligible voters on the appropriate State election officials

The listing of additional persons prescribed in section 7 shall not be stayed pending judicial review of the decision of a hearing officer.
(q) A petition for review of the decision of a hearing officer may be filed in the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which the person challenged resides within fifteen days after service of such decision by mail on the person petitioning for review, but no decision of a hearing officer shall be overturned unless clearly erroneous.

section 4(b) or in any political subdivision with respect to which such determinations have been made as a separate unit, unless the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in an action for a declaratory judgment brought by such State or subdivision against the United States has determined that the effects of denial or abridgment, if any, of the right to vote on account of race or color have been effectively corrected by State or local action and that there is no reasonable cause to believe that any test or device sought to be used by such State or subdivision will be used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color:
“Provided, That a final judgment heretofore or hereafter rendered by any court of the United States, determining that denials or abridgments of the right to vote on account of race or color through the use of such tests or devices have occurred anywhere in the territory of any such plaintiff, may be introduced in any such declaratory judgment action brought within five years of such final judgment as prima facie evidence of the facts found by the court, except that notwithstanding this provision the judgment shall retain whatever legal effect it would have under existing law.
“An action pursuant to this subsection shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The court shall retain jurisdiction of any action pursuant to this subsection for five years after judgment and shall reopen the action upon motion of the Attorney General alleging that a test or device has been used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.
“If the Attorney General determines that he has no reason to believe that any such test or device has been used during the five years preceding the filing of the action for the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, he shall consent to the entry of such judgment.
“(b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply in any State or in any political subdivision of a State which (1) the Attorney General determines maintained on November 1, 1964, any test or device, and with respect to which (2) the Director of the Census determines (A) that less than 50 per centum of the persons, other than aliens and persons in active military service and their dependents, of voting age residing therein were registered on November 1, 1964, or that less than 50 per centum of such persons voted in the presidential election of November 1964, and (B) that according to the 1960 census, more than 20 per centum of the persons of voting age were nonwhite; or, (3), notwithstanding the foregoing (1) and (2), the Directors of the Census determines, by a survey made upon the request of the Attorney General that the total number of persons of any race or color who are registered to vote in any
State or political subdivision is less than 25 per centum of the total number of all persons of such race or color of voting age residing in such State or political subdivision.
“A determination or certification of the Attorney General or of the Director of the Census under this subsection or under section 6 shall be final and effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
“(c) The phrase ‘test or device’ shall mean any requirement that a person as a prerequisite for voting or registration for voting (1) demonstrate the ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter, (2) demonstrate any education achievement or his knowledge of any particular subject, (3) possess good moral character, or (4) prove his qualifications by the voucher of registered voters or members of any other class.
“(d) For purposes of this section no State or political subdivision shall be determined to have engaged in the use of tests or devices for the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color if (1) incidents of such have been limited in number and have been promptly and effectively cor-rested by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.
“Sec. 5. Whenever a State or political subdivision with respect to which the prohibitions set forth in section 4(a) are in effect shall enact or seek to administer any voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting different from that in force or effect on November 1,1964, such State or subdivision may institute an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for a declaratory judgment that such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure does not have the purpose or will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, and unless and until the court enters such judgment no person shall be denied the right to vote for failure to comply with such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure, unless such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure has been submitted by the chief legal officer or other appropriate official of such State or subdivision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has not interposed an objection within sixty days after such submission. Neither the Attorney General’s failure to object nor a declaratory judgment entered under this section shall bar a subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure. Such an action shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court.”

On page 8, line 19, strike out the figures “3(a)”, and insert in lieu thereof the figure 4
On page 8, line 19, strike out all after the semicolon, down to and including the word “amendment,” on line 8, page 9, as follows: “or (b) unless a declaratory judgment has been rendered under section 4(a), with respect to any political subdivision named in, or included within the scope of determinations made under section 4(b) that (1) he has received complaints in writing from twenty or more residents of such political subdivision alleging that they have been denied the right to vote under color of law on account of race or color, and that he believes such complaints to be meritorious, or (2) that in his judgment (considering, among other factors, whether the ratio of nonwhite persons to white persons registered to vote within such subdivision appears to him to be fairly attributable to violations of the fifteenth amendment) , the appointment of examiners is otherwise necessary to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment,”
On page 2, after line 2, insert the following:
Sec. 3 (a) Whenever the Attorney General has determined that in any State or 'political subdivision of a State the rights of citizens to vote are being denied or abridged on account of race or color, he shall institute an action in the name of the United States in the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia against such State or political subdivision alleging that it is engaging in denying or abridging the rights of citizens to vote on account of race or color. Upon demand of the Attorney General, such action shall be tried by a three-judge district court convened in the manner prescribed by section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court.
(b) A presumption of denial or abridgment of the rights of citizens to vote on account of race or color will be raised upon proof by the Attorney General (.1) that the State or political subdivision maintained on November 1,1964, any test or device, and (2) (A) that less than 50 per centum of the persons, other than aliens and persons in active military service and their dependents, of voting age residing therein were registered on November 1, 1964, or that less than 50 per centum of such persons voted in the presidential election of November 1964, and (B) that, according to the 1960 census, more than 20 per centum of the persons of voting age were nonwhite; or, (3) notwithstanding the foregoing (1) and (2), that the total number of persons of any race or color who are registered to vote in such State or political subdivision is less than 25 per centum of the total number of all persons of such race or color of voting age residing in such State or political subdivision.

REPORT ON FEDERAL WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
The White House, May 25,1965.
Dear Mr. President : Even before there was a United States, people of this land were using and developing its water resources. Over the years the nature of the problems has changed and the size and scope of the solutions has increased, but our technology has kept abreast of the needs.
Today far greater demands are pressing upon both our water resources and the technology required to meet our varied water needs. Our streams and groundwater resources must meet the needs of nearly 200 million people for food, fiber, and industrial processing. At the same time we have expected our streams to carry off the waste products of our homes, industries, and farms. We must also protect our people from damaging floods such as those which have recently occurred along the upper Mississippi River.
A projection of our population growth over the next few decades could lead to the conclusion that very serious water shortages might be expected over much of the Nation in the not far distant future. Pollution has already caused serious problems in many of our streams and lakes, and with a growing population, pollution problems could extend to almost all of our water sources.
Such predictions must not come true. Our scientists and engineers will find solutions to meet these problems as they develop, if we maintain a continuing and effective research program. Earlier this year, I transmitted to you legislation expanding and extending one aspect of the water research program—desalting. Today I am pleased to transmit a report summarizing the Federal water-resources research program for fiscal year 1966 prepared by the Committee on Water Resources Research of the Federal Council of Science and Technology.
The program is not large, but it Is vital. The total proposed expenditure for the 1966 fiscal year is only $101 million, less than 1 percent of the total national expenditure on water supply, water control, and water treatment. But the Committee is at work on the preparation of a long-range research program of incalculable importance to our fu
ture. I am asking the Chairman of the Federal Council to press forward on the development of this plan.
We must be sure that our research effort is adequate to guarantee sufficient water for all our future needs. On this there can be no compromise. We must also strive through research to find a better basis for mimimizing the damaging effects of water and to preserve and protect the natural beauty of our streams and lakes for the health and enjoyment of all our people.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington. D.C.

(a) Whenever the Attorney General institutes a proceeding under any statute to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment in any State or political subdivision the court shall authorize the appointment of examiners by the Civil Service Commission in accordance with section 6 to serve for such period of time and in such political subdivisions as the court shall determine is appropriate to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment (1) as part of any interlocutory order if the court determines that the appointment of such examiners is necessary to enforce such guarantees or (2) as part of any final judgment if the court finds that violations of the fifteenth amendment justifying equitable relief have occurred in such State or subdivision: Provided, That the court need not authorize the appointment of examiners if any incidents of denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color (1) have been limited in number and have been promptly and effectively corrected by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.

judgment as prima facie evidence of the facts found by the court, except that notwithstanding this provision the judgment shall retain whatever legal effect it would have under existing law.
An action pursuant to this subsection shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The court shall retain jurisdiction of any action pursuant to his subsection for five years after judgment and shall reopen the action upon motion of the Attorney General alleging that a test or device has been used for the purpose or will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.
If the Attorney General determines that he has no reason to believe that any such test or device is being uesd for the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, he may consent to the entry of such judgment.
(b)	The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply in any State or in any political subdivision of a State which (1) the Attorney General determines maintained on November 1, 1964, any test or device, and with respect to which (2) the Director of the Census determines (A) that less than 50 per centum of the persons of voting age residing therein were registered on November 1, 1964, or that less than 50 per centum of such persons voted in the presidential election of November 1964, and (B) that according to the 1960 census, more than 20 per centum of the persons of voting age were nonwhite; or, (3), notwithstanding the foregoing (1) and (2), the Director of the Census determines, by a survey made upon the request of the Attorney General that the total number of persons of any race or color who are registered to vote in any State or political subdivision is less than 25 per centum of the total number of all persons of such race or color of voting age residing in such State or political subdivision.
A determination or certification of the Attorney General or of the Director of the Census under this subsection or under section 6 or section 13 shall be final and effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
(c)	The phrase “test or device” shall mean any requirement that a person as a prerequisite for voting or registration for voting (1) demonstrate the ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter, (2) demonstrate any educational achievement or his knoweldge of any particular subject, (3) possess good moral character, or (4) prove his qualifications by the voucher of registered voters or members of any other class.
(cZ) For purposes of this section no State or political subdivision shall be determined to have engaged in the use of tests or devices for the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color if (1) incidents of such have been limited in number and have been promptly and effectively corrected by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has
been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.
(e)(1) Congress hereby declares that to secure the rights under the fourteenth amendment of persons educated in American-flag schools in which the predominant classroom language was other than English, it is necessary to prohibit the States from conditioning the right to vote of such persons on ability to read, wirte, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language.
(2) No person who demonstrates that he has successfully completed the sixth primary grade in a public school in, or a private school accredited by, any State or territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in which the predominant classroom language was other than English, shall be denied the right to vote in any Federal, State, or local election because of his inability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language, except that in States in which State law provides that a different level of education is presumptive of literacy, he shall demonstrate that he has successfully completed an equivalent level of education in a public school in, or a private school accredited by, any State or territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in which the predominant classroom language was other than English.
Sec. 5. Whenever a State or political subdivision with respect to which the prohibitions set forth in section 4(a) are in effect shall enact or seek to administer any voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting different from that in force or effect on November 1, 1964, such State or subdivision may institute an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for a declartory judgment that such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure does not have the purpose and will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, and unless and until the court enters such judgment no person shall be denied the right to vote for failure to comply with such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure, unless such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure has been submitted by the chief legal officer or other appropriate official of such State or subdivision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has not interposed an objection within sixty days after such submission. Neither the Attorney General’s failure to object nor a declaratory judgment entered under this section shall bar a subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure. Such an action shall be heard '.and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court.
Sec. 6. Whenever the Attorney General certifies (a) that a court has author

ized the appointment of examiners pursuant to the provisions of section 3(a); or (b) unless a declaratory judgment has been rendered under section 4(a), with respect to any political subdivision named in, or included within the scope of determinations made under section 4(b) that (1) he has received complaints in writing from twenty or more residents of such political subdivision alleging that they have been denied the right to vote under color of law on account of race or color, and that he believes such complaints to be meritorious, or (2) that in his judgment (considering, among other factors, whether the ratio of nonwhite persons to white persons registered to vote within such subdivision appears to him to be fairly attributable to violations of the fifteenth amendment), the appointment of examiners is otherwise necessary to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment, the Civil Service Commission shall appoint as many examiners, who shall to the extent practicable be residents of such State, in such subdivision as it may deemed appropriate to prepare and maintain, by examining applicants pursuant to section 7, lists of persons eligible to vote in Federal, State, and local elections. Such examiners, hearing officers provided for in section 8(a), and other persons deemd necessary by the Commission to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Act shall be appointed, compensated, and separated without regard to the provisions of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, and service under this Act shall not be considered employment for the purposes of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, except the provisions of section 9 of the Act of August 2,1939, as amended (5 U.S.C. 118i), prohibiting partisan political activity: Provided, That the Commission is authorized, after consulting the head of the appropriate department or agency, to designate suitable persons in the official service of the United States, with their consent, to serve in these positions. Examiners and hearing officers shall have the power to administer oaths.
Sec. 7. (a) The examiners for each political subdivision shall, at such places as the Civil Service Commission shall by regulation designate, examine applicants concerning their qualifications for voting. An application to an examiner shall be in such form as provided by section 8(b) and in addition shall contain allegations that the applicant is not registered to vote, and such additional allegations, including an allegation that within ninety days preceding his application the applicant has been denied under color of law the opportunity to register or to vote or has been found not qualified to vote by a person acting under color of law, as the Attorney General may require.
(b)	Any person whom the examiner finds, in accordance with instructions received under section 8(b), to have the qualifications prescribed by State law not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States shall promptly be placed on a list of eligible
voters. A challenge to such listing may be made in accordance with section 8(a) and shall not be the basis for a prosecution under section 11 of this Act. The examiner shall certify and transmit such list, and any supplements as appropriate, at least once a month to the offices of the appropriate election officials, with copies to the Attorney General and the attorney general of the State, and any such lists and supplements thereto transmitted during the month shall be available for public inspection beginning on the last business day of the month and on the forty-fifth day prior to any election. The appropriate State or local election official shall place such names on the official voting list. Any person whose name appears on the examiner’s list shall be entitled and allowed to vote in the election district of his residence unless and until the appropriate election officials shall have been notified that such person has been removed from the examiner’s list in accordance with subsection (d): Provided, That no person shall be entitled to vote in any election by virtue of this Act unless his name shall have been certified and transmitted by the examiner to the offices of the appropriate election officials at least forty-five days prior to such election.
(c)	The examiner shall issue to each person whose name appears on the examiner’s list a certificate evidencing his eligibility to vote.
(d)	A person whose name appears on the examiner’s list shall be removed therefrom by an examiner if (1) such person has been successfully challenged in accordance with the procedure prescribed in section 8, or (2) he has been determined by an examiner to have lost his eligibility to vote under State law not inconsistent with the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
Sec. 8. (a) Any challenge to a listing on an eligibility list prepared by an examiner shall be heard and determined by a hearing officer appointed by and responsible to the Civil Service Commission and under such rules as the Commission shall by regulation prescribe. Such challenge shall be entertained only if filed at such office within the State as the Civil Service Commission shall by regulation designate within ten days after the listing of the challenged person is made available for public inspection, and if supported (1) by the affidavit of at least two persons having personal knowledge of the facts constituting grounds for the challenge, and (2) a certification that a copy of the challenge and affidavits have been served by mail or in person upon the person challenged at his place of residence set out in the application. Such challenge shall be determined within fifteen days after it has been filed. A petition for review of the decision of the hearing officer may be filed in the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which the person challenged resides within fifteen days after service of such decision by mail on the moving party, but no decision of a hearing officer shall be overturned unless clearly erroneous. Any person listed
shall be entitled and allowed to vote pending final determination by the hearing officer and by the court.
(b)	The times, places and procedures and form for application and listing pursuant to this Act and removals from the eligibility lists shall be prescribed by regulations promulgated by the Civil Service Commission and the Commission shall, after consultation with the Attorney General, instruct examiners concerning applicable State law not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States with respect to (1) the qualifications required for listing, and (2) loss of eligibility to vote.
(c)	Upon the request of the applicant or the challenger, the Civil Service Commission shall have the power to require by subpena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of documentary evidence relating to any matter pending before it under the authority of this section. In a case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpena, any district court of the United States or the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, within the jurisdiction of which said person guilty of contumacy or refusal to obey is found or resides or is domiciled or transacts business, or has appointed an agent for receipt of service of process, upon application by the Attorney General of the United States shall have jurisdiction to issue to such person an order requiring such person to appear before the Commission or a hearing officer, there to produce pertinent, relevant, and nonprivileged evidence if so ordered, or there to give testimony touching the matter under investigation; and any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.
Sec. 9. (a) In view of the evidence presented to the Congress that the constitutional right of citizens of the United States to vote is denied or abridged in certain States by the requirement of the payment of a poll tax as a condition of voting, Congress declares that the constitutional right of citizens of the United States to vote is denied or abridged in such States by the requirement of the payment of a poll tax as a condition of voting. To assure that such right is not denied or abridged in violation of the Constitution, the Attorney General shall forthwith institute in such States in the name of the United States actions for declaratory judgment or injunctive relief against the enforcement of any poll tax, or substitute therefor enacted after November 1, 1964, which, as a condition of voting, has the purpose or effect of denying or abridging the right to vote.
(b)	The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of such actions which shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. It shall be the duty of the judges designated to hear the case to assign the case for hearing at the earliest practicable date, to participate in the hearing

and determination thereof, and to cause the case to be in every way expedited.
(c)	During the pendency of such actions, and thereafter if the courts declare the requirement of the payment of a poll tax to be constitutional, no citizen of the United States who is a resident of a State or political subdivision with respect to which determinations have been made under subsection 4(b) and a declaratory judgment has not been entered under subsection 4(a), during the first year he becomes otherwise entitled to vote by reason of registration by State or local officials or listing by an examiner, shall be denied the right to vote for failure to pay a poll tax if he tenders payment of such tax for the current year to an examiner at least forty-five days prior to election, whether or not such tender would be timely or adequate under State law. An examiner shall have authority to accept such payment from any person authorized by this Act to make an application for listing, and shall issue a receipt for such payment. The examiner shall transmit promptly any such poll tax payment to the office of the State or local official authorized to receive such payment under State law, together with the name and address of the applicant.
Sec. 10. (a) Whenever the Attorney General receives at least twenty days prior to any election a complaint in writing signed by twenty or more persons of voting age who are residents of a political subdivision alleging that persons who have been listed in accordance with the provisions of section 7 have not been placed upon the official voting lists by the appropriate local or State election officials he shall institute an action to require that such persons be placed on the official voting lists and be permitted to vote. Such action shall be filed in the appropriate district court which shall have jurisdiction thereof and upon request of the Attorney General shall be determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28, United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The relief in such action shall, upon request of the Attorney General, include the appointment by the court of such persons as may be necessary to observe, at such places as the court may order, whether persons entitled to vote are permitted to vote and have their votes counted and the court may in its discretion impound all ballots cast in such election until such time as all persons whom the court has ordered permitted to vote, and who are refused or denied the opportunity to vote, have the opportunity to vote on election day or the day following. The remedy provided by this section shall not preclude any other remedy available under State or Federal law.
(b) Whenever an examiner is serving under this Act in any political subdivision, the Attorney General may assign one or more persons, who may be officers of the United States, (1) to enter and attend at any place for holding an election in such subdivision for the purpose of observing whether persons who
are entitled to vote are being permitted to vote, and (2) to enter and attend at any place for tabulating the votes cast at any election held in such subdivision for the purpose of observing whether votes cast by persons entitled to vote are being properly tabulated. Persons assigned by the Attorney General pursuant to this subsection shall be appointed, compensated, and separated without regard to the provisions of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, and service under this Act shall not be considered employment for the purposes of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, except the provisions of section 9 of the Act of August 2, 1939, as amended (5 U.S.C. 118i), prohibiting partisan political activity.
Sec. 11. (a) No person acting under color of law shall fail or refuse to permit to vote any person who is entitled to vote under any provision of this Act, or fail or refuse to count such person’s vote.
(b) No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person from voting or attempting to vote or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to initimidate, threaten, or coerce any person from exercising any powers or duties under section 3(a), 6, 8, 10, or 12(e).
Sec. 12. (a) Whoever shall willfully and knowingly deprive or attempt to deprive any person of any right secured by section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, or 10 or who shall willfully and knowingly violate section 11, shall be fined not more than $5,000, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
(b)	Whoever, within a year following an election in a political subdivision in which an examiner has been appointed (1) fraudulently destroys, defaces, mutilates, or otherwise alters the marking of a paper ballot cast in such election, or (2) fraudulently alters any record of voting in such election made by a voting machine or otherwise, shall be fined not more than $5,000, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
(c)	Whoever conspires to violate the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this section, or willfully and knowingly interferes with any right secured by section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9,10, or 11 shall be fined not more than $5,000, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
(d)	Whenever any person has engaged or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage in any act or practice prohibited by section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, or subsection (b) of this section, the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, an action for preventive relief, including an application for a temporary or permanent injunction, restraining order, or other order, and including an order directed to the State and State or local election officials to require them (1) to permit persons listed under this Act to vote and (2) to count such votes.
(e)	Whenever in any political subdivision in which there are examiners ap
pointed pursuant to this Act any persons allege to such an examiner within twenty-four hours after the closing of the polls that notwithstanding (1) their listing under this Act or registration by an appropriate election official and (2) their eligibility to vote, they have not been permitted to vote in such election, the examiner shall forthwith notify the United States attorney for the judicial district if such allegations in his opinion appear to be well founded. Upon receipt of such notification, the United States attorney may not later than seventy-two hours after the closing of the polls file with the district court an application for an order providing for the casting or counting of the ballots of such persons and requiring the inclusion of their votes in the total vote before the results of such election shall be deemed final and any force or effect given thereto. The district court shall hear and determine such matters immediately after the filing of such application. The remedy provided in this subsection shall not preclude any remedy available under State or Federal law.
(f)	The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether a person asserting rights under the provisions of this Act shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.
Sec. 13. Listing procedures shall be terminated in any political subdivision of any State (a) with respect to examiners appointed pursuant to clause (b) of section 6 whenever the Attorney General notifies the Civil Service Commission, or whenever the District Court for the District of Columbia determines in an action for declaratory judgment brought by any political subdivision with respect to which the Director of the Census has determined that more than 50 per centum of the nonwhite persons of voting age residing therein are registered to vote, (1) that all persons listed by the examiner for such subdivision have been placed on the appropriate voting registration roll, (2) that there is no longer reasonable cause to believe that persons will be deprived of or denied the right to vote on account of race or color in such division; and (b), with respect to examiners appointed pursuant to section 3(a), upon order of the authorizing court. A political subdivision may petition the Attorney General for the termination of listing procedures under clause (a) and to petition the Attorney General to request the Director of the Census to take such survey or census as may be appropriate for the making of the determination provided for in this section. The District Court for the District of Columbia shall have jurisdiction to require such survey or census to be made by the Director of the Census and it shall require him to do so if it deems the Attorney General’s refusal to request such survey or census to be arbitrary or unreasonable.

REORGANIZATION PLANS NOS. 3, 4, AND 5 OF 1965
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following three messages from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, were referred to the Committee on Government Operations:
REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 3
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1965, prepared in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and providing for reorganization of the locomotive inspection activities of certain personnel employed by or attached to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
I have stressed that we must reorganize and modernize the Government’s organization structure in order to focus responsibilities, increase efficiency, and meet present day needs more effectively. The reorganization plan, which accords with recommendations made to me by the Interstate Commerce Commission, supports these objectives. It will make possible necessary changes in the organization and administration of the Commission’s railroad safety operations.
The Commission’s ability to organize and carry out most effectively its responsibilities for railroad safety is now severely limited by certain anachronistic provisions of the locomotive inspection statutes. These provisions go back to an
earlier period before steam locomotives were replaced almost completely by diesel engines. At that time locomotive boilers were temperamental and dangerous and special measures were required to enforce adequate safety standards. Present law specifies in detail the method of appointing locomotive inspectors, the functions to be performed by them, and the organization structure for administering inspection activities. While these provisions may have been suited to conditions 50 years ago, they are clearly inappropriate today.
Progress in railroad technology has not eliminated the need for locomotive inspection. Locomotive inspection is still essential for the safety of employees, passengers, and cargo. The Interstate Commerce Commission, however, properly should not be held to account for the performance of this important function as long as it lacks authority to make those changes in organization and operations which it deems necessary to meet current safety needs and to promote maximum economy and efficiency. The primary purpose of the accompanying reorganization plan is to terminate outdated arrangements which now stand in the way of the most effective management of the Commission’s railroad safety program.
Organization flexibility is at present restricted by the statutory requirement that there be 50 locomotive inspection districts and at least 1 inspector for each such district. The number of inspectors and districts cannot be adjusted to accommodate to changes in workload or other relevant factors.
Locomotive inspection is rigidly separated from related railroad safety activities performed under the Interstate Commerce Commission. The locomotive inspection statutes restrict inspectors of locomotives to the inspection of locomotives only and prevent the inspection of locomotives—except brakes and safety appliances—by other Commission railroad safety personnel. Thus, the Commission is prevented from making the most effective utilization of its total staff of locomotive and train inspectors. In order to eliminate the present uneconomical duplicate visits to railroad yards and otherwise to promote the most economical and effective administration of its railroad safety responsibilities, the Commission should have the authority to assign staff to duties for which they may be qualified by training and experience. The reorganization plan will make this possible.
Organizational flexibility is hampered further by the provision for Presidential appointment and Senate confirmation of a Director and two Assistant Directors of Locomotive Inspection. Originally, these officials were to be selected with reference to their practical knowledge of the construction and repair of boilers. Later amendments broadened the’r responsibilities to embrace all parts of the locomotive and tender. These clearly are not policy-making positions, warranting Presidential appointment. As is now the case with other comparable positions where
appointments should be based primarily on professional and technical qualifications, personnel supervising locomotive inspection functions should be appointed under the classified civil service.
By eliminating the present cumbersome restrictions on inspection districts, the duties of locomotive inspectors, and the appointment of the Director and Assistant Directors of Locomotive Inspection, the plan will make it possible for the Commission to utilize its personnel more efficiently, integrate the work performed by locomotive inspectors with that performed by other Commission railroad safety inspectors, and take full advantage of recent improvements in the organization of the Commission’s central office and field activities.
Upon the taking effect of the reorganization plan:
First. All functions of the Director of Locomotive Inspection, the Assistant Directors of Locomotive Inspection, and district locomotive inspectors will be transferred to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Suitable powers of delegation with respect to the functions so transferred will be conferred upon the Commission.
Second. The position of Director of Locomotive Inspection, the two positions of Assistant Director of Locomotive Inspection, and all positions of district locomotive inspector will be abolished. The Commission will be required to appoint to a position under the classified civil service, as provided in the reorganization plan, each person who immediately prior to the taking effect of the plan held the office of district inspector of locomotives; such appointments will be deemed to be made without any break in service.
Third. The function of dividing the territory comprising the several States and the District of Columbia into 50 locomotive boiler-inspection districts will be abolished.
After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in the reorganization plan transmitted herewith is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended. I have also found and hereby declare that by reason of the reorganizations made by the reorganization plan, it is necessary to include in the plan the provisions contained in section 5 thereof. The rates of compensation thereunder are those which I have found to prevail in respect of comparable positions in the executive branch of the Government.
The statutory authority for the exercise of the functions to be abolished by section 2(b) of the reorganization plan is contained in section 4 of the act of February 17, 1911, chapter 103, 36 Stat. 914, as amended.
The reorganizations provided for in the reorganization plan will produce some immediate savings and significant long-range economies. The latter will result from future improvements in the organization and administration of the affected functions made possible by the plan. Since the plan will open the way

for the more effective utilization of safety inspection staffs of the Interstate Commerce Commission, it will yield a significantly increased measure of safety inspection activity for each dollar spent for this purpose. It is, however, impracticable to specify or itemize at this time the reductions of expenditures which it is probable will be brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations included in the reorganization plan.
Under the accompanying reorganization plan, all essential Government railroad safety services to the traveling public and employees will continue to be performed. The plan provides urgently needed modernization of the organization and procedures in the Interstate Commerce Commission’s railroad safety program. I recommend that the Congress allow the reorganization plan to become effective.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, May 27, 1965.
REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 4
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1965, prepared in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and providing for reorganizations of various committees and other similar bodies.
The strength and vitality of our democracy depends in major part upon the Federal Government’s adaptability, on its capacity for fast flexible response to changing needs imposed by changing circumstances. If we are to maintain this capacity, we must have a government that is streamlined and capable of quickly adjusting and readjusting its organization and operating procedures to take up and surmount new challenges.
As government grows more complex and programs increasingly cut across traditional agency lines, we must exercise special care to prevent the continuance of obsolete interagency committees and other coordinating devices which waste time and delay action and the undue proliferation of new committees. Interagency committees are a valuable and often indispensable means for facilitating coordination, but we should be sure that a committee is the most efficient way to accomplish a given task and that it is structured to meet current needs effectively.
At my direction, guidelines for the management of interagency committees have been established. I have recently asked the heads of departments and agencies to give their personal attention to a complete review of all the interagency committees in which their agencies participate to determine which ones might be eliminated, consolidated or otherwise reorganized. We will take appropriate action to obtain essential improvements in the organization and use of those committees which have been established by the executive branch.
The reorganizations accomplished by the reorganization plan transmitted herewith will enable us to take similar action with respect to a number of committees which have been established by statute, In many instances the statu
tory provisions creating these committees are very specific as to membership and describe in detail the functions to be performed. These provisions are rarely sufficiently flexible to permit the membership or role of the committees to be accommodated to changing circumstances or to permit their termination when they have outlived their usefulness.
The accompanying reorganization plan will abolish nine statutory committees. In each case the responsibility for providing suitable arrangements to assure effective consultation and coordination is placed in a specific official. Wherever the continuing need for and usefulness of a committee has been demonstrated, I would anticipate the establishment of a successor committee along the general lines of the body now provided by law. Certainly prompt action will be taken to create successor committees to such bodies as the Board of Foreign Service and the National Advisory Council on International Monetary and Financial Problems. But we will have the flexibility promptly to make such changes in functions and membership as might be required to eliminate overlapping and duplication and to adjust to the development of new programs and shifts in executive branch responsibilities.
A number of the committees affected by the reorganization plan are advisory to the President or have functions which are closely related to responsibilities already vested in the President. The functions of those committees will be transferred to the President by the reorganization plan. The functions of the others will be transferred to the appropriate individual agency heads.
The management and control of interagency committees have been a matter of growing concern to both the executive branch and the Congress. The taking effect of the reorganization plan will contribute significantly to better management of interagency committees and will assist efforts to simplify and modernize coordinating arrangements within the executive branch.
Executive Order No. 10940 of May 11, 1961, provides for the President’s Committee on Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Crime. The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare is required to consult with that Committee on matters of general policy and procedure arising in the administration of the Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Offenses Control Act of 1961 and to consider certain recommendations of that Committee, 42 U.S.C. 2546(b). To require the Secretary by law to consult with a committee established by Executive order is clearly anomalous. The plan abolishes the relevant functions of the Secretary with respect to consulting and considering the recommendations of the President’s Committee. The reorganization plan does not otherwise affect the Committee; it has no effect upon Executive Order No. 10940. The statutory authority for the exercise of the functions to be abolished by section 13(b) of the reorganization plan is contained in section 7(b) of the
Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Offenses Control Act of 1961, 75 Stat. 574.
After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1965 is necessary to accomplish one oi’ more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.
Although the reorganizations provided for in the reorganization plan will not of themselves result in immediate savings, the improvement achieved in administration will in the future allow the performance of the affected functions at lower costs and in a more timely manner than at present. It is, however, impracticable to specify or itemize at this time the reductions of expenditures which it is probably will be brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations included in the reorganization plan. I recommend that the Congress allow the accompanying reorganization plan to become effective.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, May 27, 1965.
REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 5
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 5 of 1965, prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and providing for certain reorganizations relating to the National Science Foundation.
The plan contains two reorganization measures. First, all committees provided for in section 8 of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 would be abolished. That section provides that there shall be a committee for each division of the Foundation, having not less than five members who are appointed by the National Science Board for 2-year terms. Section 8, as affected by section 23(b) (3) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1962, 76 Stat. 1255, directs each such committee to make recommendations to and advise and consult with the Director of the National Science Foundation with respect to matters relating to the program of its division. Originally the Foundation had three such committees, corresponding to its three divisions. With the growth of the Foundation, five additional divisions have been established; consequently the Foundation, in accordance with the requirements of section 8, now has eight divisional committees. This multiplication in the number of committees has proved cumbersome. For example, three committees are now concerned with scientific personnel and education matters instead of the original one committee, even though one committee is all that is required to meet the Foundation’s needs in this area. The elimiation of the various statutory divisional committees will simplify the structure of the Foundation and improve its administration.
The second reorganization measure contained in the accompanying reorganization plan would empower the Director of the National Science Foundation to delegate functions vested in him by law or delegated to him by the National Science Board. The expanding respon
408
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
May 27
sibilities of the Foundation and the Director indicate that it is necessary that the Director clearly have such authority.
Upon the taking effect of the reorganization plan, the National Science Foundation will institute such new arrangements, in lieu of the divisional committees new required by law, as it deems appropriate. Such new arrangements may include the establishment of committees under section 6 of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 and such other devices for obtaining advice as may be available to the Foundation.
After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in the reorganization plan transmitted herewith is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.
The reorganization plan will permit more effective management of the affairs of the National Science Foundation. It is, however, impracticable to specify or itemize at this time the reductions of expenditures which it is probable will be brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations included in the reorganization plan.
The statutory authority for the exercise of certain functions which would be abolished by section 1 of the reorganization plan is contained in section 8 of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, 64 Stat. 152.
I recommend that the Congress allow the reorganization plan to become effective.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR DISASTER RELIEF
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate a communication from the President of the United States, together with a letter from the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, transmitting, pursuant to law, a supplemental estimate of appropriations for funds appropriated to the President, “Disaster relief,” for the fiscal year 1966, amounting to $35 million; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered to be printed.
FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAY SYSTEM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Public Works:
The White House,
May 26,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting four draft bills designed to help make our Nation’s roads, highways to the enjoyment of nature and beauty.
Today’s new conservation must shift from the classic role of protecting threatened nature. It must restore beauty where it has already been destroyed. It must deal with the dangers which urbanization and growth and technology offer to the world we live in. It must make an effort to put beauty within reach of those who live in our
cities, and make it part of the daily life of every American. For its concern is with restoring and enhancing the entire relationship between man and the natural world which is the source of so many treasured human values.
To do this will require imagination and new approaches to old problems. It means we must transform those activities which menace nature into instruments for the enjoyment of beauty. No modern work offers greater promise and opportunity in this regard than the highways of our Nation.
The automobile is a central feature of American life. It takes people to and from work. It is used for travel to friends and relatives. It carries us to places of recreation and beauty. It helps to expand the horizons of our daily life; and the “Sunday drive” has become an American institution.
Therefore, by acting to bring beauty to our roads, by making nature and recreation easily accessible, our highway system can become immensely more valuable in serving the needs of the American people.
The Federal-aid highway system is one of the great achievements of this Nation. It is knitting together the communities of this Nation with an ever-increasing flow of commerce, goods, and people. In a nation of continental size, transportation is essential to the growth and prosperity of the national economy.
But that economy, and the roads that serve it, are not ends in themselves. They are meant to serve the real needs of the people of this country. And those needs include the opportunity to touch nature and see beauty, as well as rising Income and swifter travel.
Therefore we must make sure that the massive resources we now devote to roads also serve to improve and broaden the quality of American life.
Moreover, beauty has an economic aspect. Roads which are highways to pleasure will encourage travel. Increased travel in many areas will mean new opportunities for tourism and for investment.
These bills reflect what I believe to be the human priorities of American society.
First I recommend legislation to strengthen control of outdoor advertising.
In 1958 Congress authorized a bonus payment to States which agreed to regulate outdoor advertising along the Interstate Highway System. Only 20 States have entered into agreements under this voluntary program, and only 8 States have actually become eligible for such payments. The conclusion is clear. The voluntary program has failed to control outdoor advertising.
Therefore I recommend that States— as a condition of receiving Federal-aid highway grants after January 1, 1968— institute control over outdoor advertising along those sections of the Interstate and primary systems not zoned or used predominantly for commercial or industrial purposes. In general such controls would require that no advertising signs be erected in areas within 1,000 feet of the pavement and visible to the passing
motorist. Existing signs would have to be removed by July 1,1970.
Advertising plays an important and valuable role in the life of America. Its contribution to our standard of living is great. But it is neither in the interests of the advertising industry, or the Nation, to permit a further decrease of our dwindling natural beauty.
Second. I propose controls over junkyards. I recommend that as a condition of receiving Federal aid, States must exercise control along the entire Interstate and primary systems. No new junkyards could be established within 1,000 feet of the pavement and visible to the motorist. Existing junkyards would have to be effectively screened or removed by July 1,1970.
We must recognize, both in the case of junkyards and outdoor advertising, that some States may lack adequate police powers for control. Where this is the case the Federal Government would be authorized to pay its share of the cost of purchase or condemnation.
Third. I propose to broaden existing authority to use Federal-aid funds—on a matching basis—for the cost of landscape and roadside development. Under this authority rest and recreation areas can be acquired and developed for use by the traveling public.
For some years States have been permitted, by a related statutory provision, to use 3 percent of their Federal-aid funds without matching to acquire land alongside highways and make that land a source of scenic beauty. In all these years this authority was never used. Not until 1965, in three instances, was application made. Here is another case where a voluntary program was not sufficient to carry out the intent of Congress. Therefore I propose that States be required to use this 3 percent for natural beauty.
Fourth. I propose that each State use one-third of the Federal aid it now receives for secondary roads to (a) construct scenic roads, (b) construct roads leading to scenic and recreational areas, and (c) provide for landscape and roadside developments along Federal-aid highways.
This proposal will add immensely to the value of our highway system. It will provide access to lakes and forests, picnic and historical areas, beaches, and mountain trails. It will provide places to stop and enjoy the view or to picnic. In so doing it will add an entirely new dimension of pleasure and recreation and spiritual satisfaction to the existing goals of our road program. Thus the roads themselves will become more important to our society and more useful to the people of our country.
Earlier this year I said: “For centuries Americans have drawn strength and inspiration from the beauty of our country. It would be a neglectful generation indeed * * * which failed to preserve and extend such a heritage for its descendants.”
These bills are evidence of our determination not to be such a neglectful generation. Their passage will insure this Congress the gratitude of future
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
409
generations of Americans who will be allowed to enjoy the same gifts of nature which are our heritage.
Next fiscal year we will spend an estimated $3.9 billion on Federal-aid highways. This is an investment in the future of America. Surely that future will include the wonders of the natural world, as well as the growth of the world which man has made. We must invest in both these futures if we are to conquer the challenges of the modern world while protecting the values of our past.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHEAST ASIA
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Bass in the chair) laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
To the Congress of the United States:
The American people want their Government to be not only strong but compassionate. They know that a society is secure only where social justice is secure for all its citizens. When there is turmoil anywhere in our own country, our instinct is to inquire if there is injustice. That instinct is sound. And these principles of compassion and justice do not stop at the water’s edge. We do not have one policy for our own people and another for our friends abroad.
A vast revolution is sweeping the southern half of this globe. We do not intend that the Communists shall become the beneficiaries of this revolt against injustice and privation. We intend to lead vigorously in that struggle. We will continue to back that intention with practical and concrete help.
In southeast Asia today, we are offering our hand and our abundance to those who seek to build a brighter future. The effort to create more progressive societies cannot wait for an ideal moment. It cannot wait until peace has been finally secured. We must move ahead now.
I know of no more urgent task ahead. It requires more of us, more of other prosperous nations, and more of the people of southeast Asia.
For our part, I propose that we expand our own economic assistance to the people of South Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos.
I propose we start now to make available our share of the money needed to harness the resources of the entire southeast Asia region for the benefit of all its people. This must be an international venture. That is why I have asked Mr. Eugene Black to consult with the United Nations Secretary General and the leaders of the poor and advanced nations. Our role will be vital, but we hope that all other industrialized nations, including the Soviet Union, will participate.
To support our own effort, I ask the Congress to authorize and appropriate for fiscal year 1966 an additional $89 million for the Agency for International Development for expanded programs of economic and social development in southeast Asia.
This money will serve many purposes:
1.	Approximately $19 million will provide the first installment of our contribution to the accelerated development of the Mekong River Basin. This is an important part of the general program of regional development which I outlined
at Johns Hopkins University on April 7. This money will enable us to meet a request for half the cost of building the Nam Ngum Dam, which the international Mekong Committee has marked “Top Priority” if the Mekong River is to be put to work for the people of the region. This will be the first Mekong power project to serve two countries, promising power to small industry and lights for thousands of homes in northeast Thailand and Laos. The funds will provide also for powerlines across the Mekong, linking Laos and Thailand; extensive studies of further hydroelectric, irrigation, and flood control projects on the Mekong main stream and its tributaries; expansion of distribution lines in Laos.
2.	Five million dollars will be used to support electrification cooperatives near three provincial towns—Long Xuyen, Dalat, and Nha Thang—in South Vietnam. Co-ops which have been so important to the lives of our rural people, will bring the benefits of low-priced electricity to more than 200,000 Vietnamese. We hope this pattern can be duplicated in towns and villages throughout the region. I will ask that we provide further support if the pattern meets the success we believe possible.
3.	Seven million dollars will help provide improved medical and surgical services, especially in the more remote areas of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. South Vietnam is tragically short of doctors; some 200 civilian physicians must care for a population of 15 million. In Laos the system of AID-supported village clinics and rural hospitals now reaches more than a million people. But that is not enough. We propose to extend the program in Laos, assist the Thailand Government to expand its public health services to thousands of rural villages, and to organize additional medical and surgical teams for sick and injured civilians in South Vietnam.
Better health is the first fruit of modern science. For the people of these countries it has far too long been an empty promise. I hope that when peace comes our medical assistance can be expanded and made available to the sick and wounded of the area without regard to political commitmet.
4.	Approximately $6 million will be used to train people for the construction of roads, dams, and other small-scale village projects in Thailand and Laos. In many parts of Asia the chance of the villager for markets, education, and access to public services depends on his getting a road. A nearby water well dramatically lightens the burdens of the farmer’s wife. With these tools and skills local people can build their own schools and clinics—blessings only dreamed of before.
5.	Approximately $45 million will be used to finance increasing imports of iron and steel, cement, chemicals and pesticides, drugs, trucks, and other essential goods necessary for a growing civilian
economy. This money will allow factories not only to continue but, through investment, to expand production of both capital and consumer goods. It will provide materials for urgently needed low-cost housing. And it will maintain production incentives and avoid inflation. It is not easy for a small country, with a low income, to fight a war on its own soil and at the same time persist in the business of nation-building. The additional import support which I propose will help Vietnam to persevere in this difficult task.
6.	An additional $7 million will supplement the present program of agricultural development and support additional government services in all three countries, and will help in the planning of further industrial expansion in the secure areas of Vietnam.
Much of the additional assistance I request is for Vietnam. This is not a poor and unfavored land. There is water and rich soil and ample natural resources. The people are patient, hard-working, the custodians of a proud and ancient civilization. They have been oppressed not by nature but by man. The failures of man can be redeemed. That is the purpose of the aid for which I now ask additional authorization.
We are defending the right of the people of South Vietnam to decide their own destiny. Where this right is attacked by force, we have no alternative but to reply with strength. But military action is not a final solution in this area; it is only a partial means to a much larger goal. Freedom and progress will be possible in Vietnam only as the people are assured that history is on their side—that it will give them a chance to make a living in peace, to educate their children, to escape the ravages of disease, and, above all, to be free of the oppressors who for so long have fed on their labors.
Our effort on behalf of the people of southeast Asia should unite, not divide, the people of that region. Our policy is not to spread conflict but to heal conflict.
I ask the Congress, as part of our continuing affirmation of America’s faith in the cause of man, to respond promptly and fully to this request.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, June 1, 1965.

CHANGES IN SILVER COINAGE
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying papers, was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency:
To the Congress of the United States:
From the early days of our independence the United States has used a system of coinage fully equal in quantity and in quality to all the tasks imposed upon it by the Nation’s commerce,
420
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
June 3
We are today using one of the few existing silver coinages in the world. Our coins, in fact, are little changed from those first established by the Mint Act of 1792. For 173 years, we have maintained a system of abundant coins that with the exception of pennies and nickels is nearly pure silver.
The long tradition of our silver coinage is one of the many marks of the extraordinary stability of our political and economic system.
Continuity, however, is not the only characteristic of a great nation’s coinage. We should not hesitate to change our coinage to meet new and growing needs. I am, therefore, proposing certain changes in our coinage system— changes dictated by need—which will help Americans to carry out their daily transactions in the most efficient way possible.
There has been for some years a worldwide shortage of silver. The United States is not exempt from that shortage—and we will not be exempt as it worsens. Silver is becoming too scarce for continued large-scale use in coins. To maintain unchanged our high silver coinage in the face of this stark reality would only invite a chronic and growing scarcity of coins.
We expect to use more than 300 million troy ounces—over 10,000 tons—of silver for our coinage this year. That is far more than total new production of silver expected in the entire free world this year. Although we have a large stock of silver on hand we cannot continue indefinitely to make coins of a high silver content—in the required quantity—in the face of such an imbalance in the production of silver and the demand for it.
We must take steps to maintain an adequate supply of coins, or face chaos in the myriad transactions of our daily life—from using pay telephones to parking in a metered zone to providing our children with money for lunch at school.
The legislation I am sending to the Congress with this message will insure a stable and dignified coinage fully adequate in quantity and in its specially designed technical characteristics to the needs of our 20th century life. It can be maintained indefinitely, however much the demand for coin may grow.
Much as we all would prefer to retain the silver coins now in use, there is no practical alternative to a new coinage based on materials in adequate supply.
THE NEW COINAGE
I propose no change in either the penny or the nickel.
The new dime and the quarter—while remaining the same size and design as the present dime and quarter—will be composite coins. They will have faces of the same copper-nickel alloy used in our present 5 cent piece, bonded to a core of pure copper. The new dime and quarter will, therefore, outwardly resemble the nickel, except in size and design, but with the further distinction that their copper core will give them a copper edge.
This type of coin was selected because, alone among practical alternatives, it can be used together with our existing silver coins in the millions of coinoperated devices that Americans now depend upon heavily for many kinds of food and other goods.
THE HALF DOLLAR
Our new half dollar will be nearly indistinguishable in appearance from the present half dollar.
It will continue to be made of silver and copper, but the silver content will be reduced from 90 percent to 40 percent. It will be faced with an alloy of 80 percent silver and 20 percent copper, bonded to a core of 21 percent silver and 79 percent copper. The new half dollar will continue to be minted with the image of President Kennedy. Its size will be unchanged.
THE SILVER DOLLAR
No change in this famous old coin, or plans for additional production, are proposed at this time. It is possible that implementation of the new coinage legislation that I am proposing, greatly reducing the requirement for silver in our subsidiary coinage, will actually make feasible the minting of additional silver dollars in the future. Certainly, without this change in the silver content of the subsidiary coinage, further minting of the silver dollar would be forever foreclosed.
It is our intention that the new coinage circulate side by side with oui' existing coinage. We plan to continue the minting of our current silver coins while the new coinage is brought into quantity production.
The new coins will be placed in circulation sometime in 1966.
In terms of the present pattern of coin usage, adoption of the new coinage will permit a saving of some 90 percent of the silver we are now putting into coins annually.
I want to make it absolutely clear that these changes in our coinage will have no effect on the purchasing power of our coins. The new ones will be exchanged at full face value for the paper currency of the United States. They will be accepted by the Treasury and by the Federal Reserve banks for any of the financial obligations of the United States. The legislation I am proposing expressly recognizes the new coins as legal tender.
It is of primary importance, of course, that our new coins be specifically designed to serve our modern, technological society. In the early days of the Republic, silver coins served well because the value of a coin could only be measured by the value of the precious metal contained in it. For many decades now the value of a particular coin has depended not on the value of the metal in it, but on the face value of the coin. Today’s coinage must primarily be utilitarian. The new coinage will meet this requirement fully, while dispensing with the idea that it contain precious metal.
It is, above all, practical. It has been specifically designed to function, without
causing delays or disruptions of service, in coin-operated merchandising machines.
Furthermore, it is composed of materials low enough in value and readily enough available to insure that we can have as many coins as we need.
The legislation I am proposing also contains these additional recommendations :
OTHER AUTHORITY REQUESTED
First. As a useful precautionai’y measure, I request standby authority to institute controls over the melting and export of coins to assist the protection of our existing and our new silver coinage.
Second. I request authority to purchase domestically mined silver at not less than $1.25 per ounce.
Third. I am asking for authority to reactivate minting operations temporarily at the San Francisco Assay Office.
Fourth. As a safeguard for assured availability of the new coinage, I am asking for new contracting authority for the procurement of materials and facilities related to it.
Fifth. I propose the establishment of a Joint Commission on the Coinage, composed of certain Members of the Congress, the public, and the executive branch of the Government, to report to me later the progress made in the installation of the new coinage and to review any new technological developments and to suggest any further modifications which may be needed.
WHY THE SILVER CONTENT OF THE COINAGE MUST BE REDUCED AT THIS SESSION
These recommendations for revision of our silver coinage rest upon extensive study of the silver situation, and of alternatives to our present coinage, by both governmental and private specialists. The Treasury Department’s comprehensive report, known as the Treasury staff silver and coinage study, is being released today as background to my recommendations. Its principal finding was that the supply of silver in the free world has become progressively incompatible with the maintenance of silver in all our subsidiary coins.
On the average, in the 5 years from 1949 through 1953, new silver production in the free world amounted to about 175 million troy ounces per year, while consumption amounted to more than 235 million ounces. There was an average deficit in those 5 postwar years of more than 60 million ounces of silver per year.
In the latest completed 5 years, 1960 through 1964, free world consumption of silver has average 410 million ounces annually, but new production has averaged a little less than 210 million ounces a year. The result has been an average annual deficit of about 200 million ounces. That is three times the average annual deficit in the 5 years from 1949 through 1953.
If no silver at all had been used for coinage there would have been a deficit in new production in free world silver during the last 5 years averaging over 40 million troy ounces, or some 1,370 tons, a year.
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
421
The gap between the production of silver and silver consumption is continuing to increase. In 1964 the silver production deficit swelled to over 300 million ounces—half again the 1963 figure. And in 1964, the use of silver in coinage, and the use of silver for the arts and industry of the free world were each— taken separately—greater than new production.
There is no dependable or likely prospect that new, economically workable sources of silver may be found that could appreciably narrow the gap between silver supply and demand. The optimistic outlook is for an increase in production of about 20 percent over the next 4 years. This would be of little help. Further, because silver is produced chiefly as a byproduct of the mining of copper, lead, and zinc, even a very large increase in the price of silver would not stimulate silver production sufficiently to change the outlook.
Short of controls that are undesirable in a peacetime free society, there is no way to diminish the bounding growth of private demand for silver for use in jewelry, silverware, photographic film, and industrial processes. The one part of the demand for silver that can be reduced is governmental demand for use in coinage.
Most free world countries no longer use silver in their coins. A few—as we now propose—continue to make limited use of it. It is true that U.S. coinage does not currently depend upon new silver production, because for many years we have supplied silver for our coinage out of large Treasury stocks, which still amount to 1 billion troy ounces.
But—and this is the crux of the matter—at the present pace, this stock cannot last even as much as 3 years. We would then be shorn of our ability to maintain the coinage, and, if there were no alternative to our present silver coinage, the Nation would be faced with a chronic coin shortage. That is why definitive action is necessary at this session of the Congress.
PROTECTION OF THE COINAGE
It is necessary for the U.S. Government to have large stocks of silver in addition to the quantity needed for coinage.
We need these stocks because our silver coins in circulation must be protected from hoarding or destruction. Protection of the silver coinage will continue to be a necessity since we plan for it to continue to circulate alongside the new coins. Our silver coins are protected by the fact that the Government stands ready to sell silver bullion from its stocks at $1.29 a troy ounce. This keeps the price of silver, as a commodity, from rising above the face value of our coins. This, in turn, makes hoarding or melting of the silver coinage unprofitable.
It is as additional protection for the existing coinage that I am requesting standby authority to institute controls over the melting, treating, or export of U.S. coins.
It may be asked why we seek standby control authority since we retain a large stock of silver with which to pro
tect our silver coins through operations in the silver market.
The answer is clear. Given the magnitudes by which demand for silver is outrunning new production, we must consider the possibility, however unlikely, that the silver stock we possess could itself require the support and protection that would be afforded by authority to forbid melting and export of our coins.
We believe our present stocks of silver to be adequate, once the large present drains from coinage are greatly reduced, to meet any foreseeable requirements for an indefinite period. However, prompt action on a new coinage will help us protect the silver coinage by freeing our silver reserves for redemption of silver certificates at $1.29 per ounce. Thus, we can assure that no incentive will be created for hoarding our present coins in anticipation of a higher price for their silver content.
There is the opposite, although in all likelihood shortrun, possibility that a fall in the price of silver might result from the enactment of this legislation largely removing silver from our subsidiary coin. It is for the purpose of protesting silver producers from a precipitate drop in the price of silver resulting from the action of the Government that I am requesting authority for the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase any newly mined domestic silver offered to him, at the price of $1.25 per troy ounce.
THE SAN FRANCISCO ASSAY OFFICE
Coinage operations at the San Francisco Mint were ended in 1955. Legislation converting the mint to the San Francisco Assay Office was passed in 1962. As part of our efforts to overcome the coin shortage of the past year, coin blanks have been cut and annealed at the San Francisco Assay Office. Present law forbids full minting there. However, we will temporarily need the facilities of this plant to move into large quantity production of the new coinage and to continue production of existing coins until enough new small money is made to make certain we have adequate supplies. Consequently, I am asking for authority to reactivate minting operations at San Francisco on a temporary basis.
A new, fully modern mint is to be built in Philadelphia. However, it cannot be completed and in operation before late 1967. It is our expectation that when the new Philadelphia Mint’s capacity is added to that of the Denver Mint, our coinage requirements can be met efficiently and economically. Consequently, no more than temporary authority to mint coins in San Francisco is recommended in the draft legislation I am sending to you.
WHY COMPOSITE COINS ARE RECOMMENDED
We have no choice but to eliminate silver, for the most part, from our subsidiary coinage. The question was: What would be the best alternative? After very thorough consideration of all aspects of this highly complex problem, we have settled upon the two types of composite, or clad, coins I have already described. These are 10-cent and 25-
cent pieces with cupronickel alloy faces bonded to a solid copper core, and a new half dollar with outer and inner layers of differing silver-copper alloys.
This type of coin was found to be necessary if the new coinage is to be compatible with the existing silver coinage in all the 12 million coin-operated devices in use in the United States.
The convenience of using coins in automatic merchandising and service devices is a fact that, like the coins in our pockets and in our store tills, we take for granted. But if our coinage were suddenly to be such that it would not work in coin-operated devices, the public would be subjected to very great inconvenience and serious losses would occur to business with harmful effects upon employment.
The automatic merchandising industry is a large and growing part of our national economy. Last year, $3y2 billion worth of consumer items were sold through 3y2 million of these machines. On more than 30 billion separate occasions a consumer made a purchase by putting a coin in a machine. In growing numbers, factories, hospitals, and other places now depend upon automatic vending for the service of goods. A million and a half people now rely upon coin controlled vending for at least one meal a day. The use of coin-operated devices is expanding rapidly, not only in merchandise vending, but also in a number of other services.
Six million of our coin-operated devices, including nearly all vending machines, have selectors set to reject coins or imitations of coins that do not have the electrical properties of our existing silver money. Highly selective rejectors are a necessity in these machines if they are to be a low-cost source of food and other goods and services. Otherwise, fraudulent use would soon make them costly.
The sensors in these machines are set to accept or reject coins on the basis of the electrical properties of our traditional coins, which have a high proportion of silver. To be compatible in operation with our existing coinage, therefore, our new coins must duplicate the electric properties of a coin that is 90 percent silver. No single acceptable metal or alloy does so. The composite coins, made of layers of differing metals and alloys, that I am asking the Congress to approve, are coins made to order to duplicate the electrical properties of coins with a high silver content. They are the only practical alternatives we have discovered to our present coinage.
Selectors exist that can handle coins with the widely varying electrical properties of, say, nearly pure silver and nearly pure nickel. But that is not enough. When the selectors are set to accept coins with greatly differing electrical properties, the selectivity of the mechanism declines and they will accept wrong coins and imitations. Unless the coins in use have very similar electrical properties, the coin-operated machines become subject to a high degree of fraudulent use. This would be costly to all concerned.
422
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
June 3
The future may bring selectors of a different kind able to accept coins of widely varying electrical properties while at the same time rejecting imitations and wrong coins. They are not available now. When and if they become available, our new coinage will work in them. On the other hand, if we now chose an incompatible coinage, there would be delays and interruptions lasting a year to 3 years in the services of these machines. This would impose heavy inconveniences upon the public and would cause business and employment losses in a large and growing industry.
In view of these considerations of public interest, we have concluded that our new coinage must without fail be able to carry out the technical merchandising functions of a modern coinage, working alongside our existing silver coinage. The new coins that I am recommending to you do this, and do it well, because they were specifically designed for the task.
The new half dollar was designed with the strong desire in mind of many Americans to retain some silver in our everyday coinage. We believe that by eliminating silver from use in the dime and the quarter, we will have enough silver to carry out market operations in protection of our existing silver coinage— and to make a half dollar of 40 percent silver content. It is clear and unmistakable that we would not have enough silver to extend this to the dime and quarter; they are heavily used, indispensable coins that we must have at all times in large quantity. We are convinced that we can include a 40-percent silver half dollar in the new coinage, but we cannot safely go beyond that. As a precaution, we intend to concentrate at first on getting out large quantities of the new quarter and dime before we embark upon quantity production of the new half dollar.
THE JOINT COMMISSION ON THE COINAGE
We believe the recommendations being made for a new coinage are sound and durable and in the best public interest. However, the installation of a new coinage is a matter so intimately affecting the life of every citizen, and so delicately related to the Nation’s commerce, that it is impossible to be certain in advance that all problems have been foreseen, even by such a long and arduous process of research as has gone into the selection of the proposed new coins.
Consequently, I am including among my recommendations the proposal for a Joint Commission on the Coinage. It will be composed of the four officers of the executive branch most directly concerned with matters affected by the coinage—the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Director of the Budget Bureau, and the Director of the Mint; of four members representing the public interest, to be appointed by the President; of the chairmen and ranking members of the Banking and Currency Committees of the House and the Senate; of one Member each from the two Houses of the Congress, to be ap
pointed by the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. The Commission will be appointed soon after the new coinage is issued. It will study such matters as new technological developments, the supply of various metals, and the future of the silver dollar. It will report as to the time and circumstances in which the Government should cease to maintain the price of silver. It will be directed to advise the President, the Congress, and the Secretary of the Treasury on the results of its studies.
THE COINAGE--CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE
I am pleased to report to the Congress substantial progress toward overcoming the coin shortage the Nation has been experiencing. Greatly increased minting has eliminated the shortage of pennies and of nickels. We are still somewhat on the short side of the demand for dimes and quarters, but this deficit is rapidly being overtaken. A severe shortage of the half dollar continues, due to the popularity of the new 50-cent pieces bearing the image of President Kennedy.
I want to emphasize that we will continue to make the existing coins while the new ones come into full production, and that we contemplate side-by-side circulation of the old and new coins for the indefinite future. There is no reason for hoarding the silver coinage we now use, because there is no reason for it to disappear.
We are gearing up for maximum production of the new coins as soon as they are authorized by the Congress. Supply of the materials for them is assured. Both copper and nickel are economical and available in North America. Their usage in coins will not add enough to overall employment of these metals to create supply or price problems.
In the first year after new coins are authorized, we expect to make 3^2 billion pieces of the new subsidiary coins. That is a billion and a half more pieces than will be made of the corresponding silver coins in the current fiscal year.
In the second year after authorization of the new coinage, we expect to be able to double the first year’s output of the new coins, reaching a production total of 7 billion pieces.
We expect in this way to avoid any new coin shortage in the transition to production of the new coins, and within a period of less than 3 years to reach a point at which we could if necessary meet total coinage needs out of production of the new coins.
I am satisfied that, taking into account all of the various factors involved in this complex problem, the recommendations that I am making to you are sound and right. Your early and favorable action upon the proposed legislation will make it possible to produce and issue to the public a coinage that will be acceptable, provide the maximum convenience, and serve all the purposes— financial and technical—of modem commerce. In considering this problem the needs of the economy and the convenience of the public have been placed
ahead of all other considerations. They are the factors that have resulted in my recommendations to the Congress. I urge their approval at the earliest possible date.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

VETO OF SENATE BILL 327
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message received during the adjournment of the Senate on Saturday, June 5, 1965, from the President of the United States, which was read:
To the Senate of the United States:
I return herewith, without my approval S. 327, to provide assistance to the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho for the reconstruction of areas damaged by recent floods and high waters.
This bill authorizes additional funds and other special assistance to aid in the reconstruction and repair of damage caused in the Pacific Northwest by the devastating floods of last winter. I am in complete sympathy with the purpose of this legislation. However, in spite of the bill’s general desirability, section 5 seriously violates the spirit of the division of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Despite my strong support for the substantive relief, I must withhold approval until this unwise and objectionable provision is deleted.
The provision is contained in that part of section 5(a) stipulating that:
“The President, acting through the Office of Emergency Planning, is authorized to perform all or any part of the recommended work determined to be in the public interest and to reimburse any common carrier for any of such recommended work performed by such carrier, but no appropriation shall be made for any such work which has not been approved before June 30, 1966, by resolution adopted by the Committees on Public Works of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively.”
The Attorney General advises me that this provision is clearly a “coming into agreement” with a congressional committee requirement. This device requires an executive official to obtain the approval of a committee or other unit of Congress before taking an executive action. It is not only an undesirable and improper encroachment by the Congress and its committees into the area of executive responsibilities—it also leads to inefficient administration. The executive branch is given, by the Constitution, the responsibility to implement all laws—a specific and exclusive responsibility which cannot properly be shared with a committee of Congress.
The proper separation of powers and division of responsibilities between Congress and the executive branch is a matter of continuing concern to me. I must oppose the tendency to use any device to involve congressional committees in the administration of programs and the implementation of laws. I have spoken out against this before. Less than a year ago, in a signing statement on the Water Resources Research Act of 1964, I requested deletion of a provision much the same as the one in S. 327.
Although I am unable to approve S. 327 in its present form for the reasons stated, I am anxious that the relief to the States involved be made available as
quickly as possible. Accordingly, I will approve S. 327 immediately when the Congress has eliminated the provision in section 5 which infringes upon the responsibilities of the executive branch. I see no reason why this cannot be accomplished in a few days and have directed the executive branch to cooperate fully with the Congress to this end.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, June 5, 1965.
Ordered, That the message, with the accompanying bill, be referred to the Committee on Public Works and be printed.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FLORENCE AGREEMENT
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Finance:
The White House, June 1,1965.
Dear Mr. Vice President: The Agreement on the Importation of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Materials, commonly known as the Florence agreement, was opened for signature at Lake Success, N.Y., on November 27, 1950. This agreement is now in force in 47 countries.
The United States participated in the negotiation of the Florence agreement. It was signed on behalf of the United States on June 24, 1959, and the Senate gave its advice and consent to its ratification on February 23, 1960. It now remains for the Congress to approve the legislation to permit the United States to implement this important agreement.
The purpose of the Florence agreement is to promote the growth of international understanding by reducing trade barriers to the flow of knowledge in all directions across all frontiers.
Enactment of the legislation would be of very material benefit to our schools and universities, science laboratories and research foundations, libraries, art galleries, museums, and institutions and organizations devoted to the welfare of the blind.
The fullest freedom of access to the knowledge and culture of other nations is the hallmark of the open society.
Passage of this legislation would be particularly timely in 1965, which has been designated as “International Cooperation Year.”
Accordingly, I ask the Congress to approve promptly the legislation implementing the Florence agreement.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Vice President,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.

Whereas the United Nations General Assembly has designated the year 1965 as International Cooperation Year; and Whereas the President of the United States has proclaimed 1965 as International Cooperation Year, and has set up a broad program within the executive branch to review our present international policies in cooperation with a bipartisan group of distinguished private citizens; and

Whereas the International Cooperation Year program will culminate in a White House Conference on International Cooperation which the President has announced he will convene in November 1965; and
Whereas during the twenty years of its existence the United Nations has played an important, and at times crucial, role in pursuit of one of its stated purposes “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind;” and
Whereas during that time the United Nations has also performed a valuable service through the specialized agencies and otherwise in helping to establish human rights and to eliminate those ancient enemies of mankind—hunger, poverty, disease and ignorance: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the United States of America rededicates itself to the principles of the United Nations and to the furtherance of international cooperation within the framework of law and order; and that all other members of the United Nations are urged to do likewise.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am proud to transmit the Annual Report of the Office of Alien Property for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1964.
This is the 22d report, as required by law, of proceedings under the Trading With the Enemy Act, as amended. There is special significance in this report because it signals the completion of the functions of the Office of Alien Property in the near future. I feel it is appropriate, therefore, to review the record of this Office which has led to the successful conclusion of the purpose for which it was established by the Congress.
Upon our entry into World War II, Congress broadened the terms of the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 to permit effective use of enemy owned or controlled property in our own war effort, and also to deny its use to the enemy.
The Office of Alien Property Custodian was reconstituted as an independent agency in 1942 and by February 1943 personnel of the Office had reached its peak of almost 1,300 persons. Offices were opened in Washington, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Manila, and Honolulu—and after the war in Munich, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan. In 1947, the Office of Alien Property Custodian was terminated and its functions transferred to the Office of Alien Property within the Department of Justice.
Thus far, a total of $861 million has been realized from all World War II
vestings. Seizures affected assets of every description, from the huge General Aniline & Film Corp, stockholdings to script certificates valued at only a few cents. Assets administered and liquidated have included personal property, trusts, estates, patents, copyrights, trademarks, stocks, bonds, industrial equipment, mineral rights, farms, urban real estate, mortgages, entire businesses, and objects of art.
In 1946, following the cessation of hostilities, Congress authorized return of vested property to individuals who were within countries which had been occupied by the enemy and to individuals who had been substantially deprived of their rights of citizenship on racial and religious grounds. Additionally, Congress authorized the payment of claims of American creditors from the vested property of their German debtors. More than 67,000 claims were filed under this authority—and, at this writing, only 134 claims involving about $25 million remain for processing and decision.
Under the act, the net proceeds of vested property which are not returnable must be placed in the war claims fund where it will be used to compensate American citizens who have suffered war damage. To date, about $314 million has been transferred by the Office of Alien Property to the war claims fund. An additional amount of $165 million recently obtained from the sale of the stock of General Aniline & Film Corp, will also be available for deposit to the war claims fund in the future.
During the years since 1942, the Office has participated in more than 7,000 litigated cases involving its assets. I am pleased to report that this caseload has now been cut drastically so that only 60 cases remain in litigation currently.
I am able to report to you now that the Department of Justice expects to complete the administration of World War II property, and to terminate the Office of Alien Property as an organizational entity, by June 30, 1966. This achievement is the result of a planned and purposeful effort made since 1961 to close the Office within 5 years.
Throughout its entire existence, the Office of Alien Property has been self-supporting from the proceeds of its vested property. Since July 1, 1961, the annual budget authorization of $690,000 for each year has supported a staff of about 50 persons. The Office’s budget request of $369,000 for fiscal year 1966 is designed to support a staff of 21 persons during its last year as an organization.
After June 30, 1966, certain minimal functions will remain, including the administration of the blocked assets of several satellite countries which cannot be terminated until adequate financial agreements are reached with those countries. This function which requires the full-time services of only one employee may be assigned to another agency. At present, no other alien property matters are expected to require the full-time services of any employee beyond June 30, 1966.
At an appropriate time, in connection with the budget for fiscal 1967, I will
436
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
June 10
propose recommendations on how the burden of the few remaining alien property functions can continue to be discharged with nonappropriated funds even though the functions may be performed by persons on appropriated fund payrolls.
The termination of the Office of Alien Property as of June 30, 1966, will bring to a close a chapter of American history which began in World War I. The first provision for an Alien Property Custodian in U.S. legislation is found in the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917.
The termination of the last remaining World War I functions—impeded by the outbreak of World War II—was not accomplished until 1956, some 38 years after the conclusion of hostilities. Fortunately, we shall be able to conclude the affairs related to World War II in only 21 years, and I welcome this occasion to report that this objective is now finally in sight.
I would take this opportunity to observe that we of the United States enjoy the unique and blessed distinction of having, as a nation, no traditional or historic, and certainly no natural enemies, among other nations and other peoples on this earth. We greatly prize this good fortune and I know it is the will of the people, of the Congress, and certainly of the Chief Executive that such amity and friendship may be preserved forever, through growing understanding and unwavering pursuit of our objective of peace with honor among all men and nations.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

Mr. LAUSCHE asked that the order for the yeas and nays on the pending amendment be rescinded.
After debate,
Mr. FULBRIGHT made a point of order that the pending amendment (No. 267) proposed by Mr. Dirksen (for himself and others) was not germane under the provisions of the unanimous-consent agreement heretofore entered.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tydings in the chair), in the following language, sustained the point of order:
The pending amendment to S. 1837 is out of order because it brings in new sub-j set matter not in order under the unanimous-consent agreement since no amendment that is not germane to the provisions of the said bill shall be received. There is nothing in the bill relating to the regulation of floating new security issues by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or the Inter-American Development Bank, and therefore the amend* ment is out of ordei.
No further amendment being proposed,
Ordered, That the bill be engrossed and read a third time.
The said bill was read the third time.

The Senate proceeded to consider the bill (H.R. 7750) of an identical title, and having been amended on the motion of Mr. Fulbright by striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof the provisions of the bill (S. 1837), as amended,

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

Pursuant to the announcement of yesterday, as modified today, served notice of the intention to recess the Senate to pay them respects.
On motion by Mr. Mansfield, and by unanimous consent,
Ordered, That the Vice President appoint a committee to escort the distinguished guests into the Chamber.
The VICE PRESIDENT appointed Mr. Mansfield and Mr. Dirksen.
On motion by Mr. Mansfield, at 1 o’clock and 22 minutes p.m„
The Senate took a recess, subject to the call of the Chair.
The committee escorted the distinguished guests into the Chamber;
They were introduced to the Senate by the Vice President, and the following remarks were made:
This is an informal session—the best kind. May I, on behalf of the U.S. Senate, and the people of the Nation, extend a very hearty welcome to Colonel Mc-Divitt, to Colonel White, and to Dr. Mathews, who was the mission director of this great operation of Gemini 4; to Mrs. White, to Mrs. Mathews, and to Mrs. Mc-Divitt. This is a wonderful team that we have here. I know all of you are going to want to meet them, and say hello to them personally and privately. But I just thought that, since we were in the Senate, and this is the forum for speechmaking, it might not be a bad idea if we would hear a word or two from the two astronauts and possibly from the mission director.
I take the privilege of presenting to this august body and to the occupants of the gallery, one and all, the man who was in charge of the space capsule and who was the man who kept it in proper orbit when one of them stepped out and left him—Colonel McDivitt.
Colonel McDIVTTT. Mr. Vice President and Senators, I suppose there have been many words spoken in this room. As a matter of fact, I spoke a few myself in the last couple of days.
I just do not know what to say to a distinguished body like this, except one thing: I am very proud to be an American today.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Thank you, Colonel McDivitt.
I think you would all like to know that as we were riding down the streets here today, people were shouting at him, “Hurrah for Michigan and Illinois.”
He claims at least two or three States.
We had a wonderful time in Chicago, where he was born, and where he has a host of friends.
We also have with us a gentleman from Texas and also from Washington, D.C. That is Colonel White. He attended the schools of the District of Columbia. He is the son of General White. This man needs no introduction from me except to say that to be in his presence is a joy second to none. Colonel White.
Colonel WHITE. Mr. Vice President, Senators, leaders of our country, and friends, it is indeed a very great honor to be here today. As we came into Washington, we were concerned about the
35-100—s J—89-1--30
weather. We were told that it might rain a little. But the weather was controlled pretty well. Someone told us, as we rode down Pennsylvania Avenue, that it was raining. I think the warmth of the people dried it all up; I did not feel a drop.
I am here representing a very great team who made the flight of Gemini 4 possible. I think really what I felt during the last few days was that Jim and I had the very great privilege of representing the people of America in the places we have gone, and the feelings that have been conveyed to us have been so warm that they are difficult to describe.
Again, it is a great honor to be here. Thank you very much.
The VICE PRESIDENT. I am sure that our two distinguished astronauts would be the first to say, as they have said many times in recent days, that their success was not due only to their own proficiency, skill, faith, and training. These men are fine family men, men of deep faith and conviction. I personally believe they represent the living embodiment of the harmony between faith and science. These men have said repeatedly that their success was due to a team—the team of the American people, Government, industry, science, labor, university people—one and all—Defense, NASA, Congress. I think that they would tell you, as they have before, that the success of their flight was due to the men in charge of the operation of Gemini 3 and Gemini 4, Grissom and Young, McDivitt and White.
I am happy to present a gentleman who was born in Duluth, Minn. He went from there to other places of equal fame.
I present Dr. Charles Mathews, program and operational director for Gemini 4.
Dr. MATHEWS. Ladies and gentlemen, yes, I was born in Minnesota. Now I reside in Texas. That ought to put me in fairly good shape.
Truly, a team effort was involved. I represent the team. I am continuously amazed with the ability of the various elements of the program. It is spread countrywide and represents many echelons of our country. It is a marvel to observe how well this group works together. When we get into operations, during the development phases of the program, it is difficult to tell a NASA man from a Department of Defense man or a McDonnell man or a Martin man. I am deeply appreciative of how well this group has welded itself together to perform the excellent operations we have had.
On the other hand, we cannot go forward with the program without the encouragement of the many. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and support that has been given the program by Members of Congress. I thank you sincerely for it. We could not get along without it. Thank you.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Now we want to have a word from the ladies. May I first present Mrs. Pat McDivitt, the mother of Mike, Patrick, and Anne— three wonderful children.
May I next present Mrs. Pat White, the mother of Bonnie and Edward, both of whom, together with the three McDivitt children, as well, have been at the White House today, where they received and invitation from the President to spend the evening at the White House, go to the movies, go into the swimming pool—get the whole works.
Now I present Mrs. Charles Mathews, the mother of Douglas and Betty Anne, who likewise were at the White House today.
Betty Anne told me, “I am so excited. I never believed it could ever happen to me.” So you know how they feel.
Now, if every one of you wonderful people will come down here and be greeted, I know that everyone would like to say hello. I believe that would be the best way to do it. Would you like to do it?
Upon the conclusion of remarks by the Vice President and the distinguished guests, they were greeted individually by Senators and then escorted from the Chamber by the committee.
AT 1 O’CLOCK AND 50 MINUTES P.M.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Ribicoff in the chair) called the Senate to order.

1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
471
following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 39); which was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
Whereas the origin of this Nation was inspired by the timeless quest of man for a destiny commensurate with his potentialities; and
Whereas it was the grandeur of the Renaissance at high noon in England, immortalized by Shakespeare, Bacon, and Raleigh, which gave birth to the American dream; and
Whereas freedom sustained the vision and nourished the faith of those who dedicated themselves to England’s greatness beyond the seas; and
Whereas in 1585 and in 1587, the first colonizing efforts of our English forebears on Roanoke Island crystallized into prophetic commitments, creating in the annals of England a fadeless precedent and a stirring challenge to establish a permanent settlement on American soil, making Roanoke Island the spiritual birthplace of this nation; and
Whereas the education of our people in the basic values of American culture, deepening their patriotism and sense of pride in their country’s origin, could well be enhanced by the erection on Roanoke Island of an Architectural Square, portraying dramatically and vividly the spirit and genius of Elizabethan England: a church to symbolize religion; a governmental building to interpret politics; a replica of the Globe Theater to present literature and reproduce Shakespearean plays; a Tudor Hall to provide facilities for conferences, lectures and music, relating to the epoch; a library to encourage research and study of sixteenth century England; a museum to exhibit the art and artifacts of that period; guild houses to demonstrate its master crafts; and statues to venerate the memory of its immortal leaders; and
Whereas it is fitting that a nation should teach its citizens with immutable fidelity, clarity, and conviction, amid the hallowed shrines of its youth, the eternal principles that gave it birth: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President of the United States is requested to appoint a commission of five persons, to be known as the Roanoke Island Memorial Commission, whose duty it shall be to formulate a proposal which will enable this country to commemorate in a more complete manner the episode of its spiritual birth; and be it further
Resolved, That the Roanoke Island Memorial Commission be invited especially to study in what matter the religious, political, cultural, social, and economic life of Elizabethan England, which initiated the drama of English colonization on American soil, can be portrayed in its true historical significance and natal splendor for the instruction and inspiration of generations to come; and be it further
Resolved, That the Roanoke Island Memorial Commission, moreover, be asked to investigate the proper relationship of its proposed program to the ex
isting activities of the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site already on Roanoke Island; and be it further
Resolved, That the Roanoke Island Memorial Commission be requested to report its findings and recommendations to the Congress of the United States in order that this body may take appropriate action to establish at Roanoke Island a memorial worthy of the enduring importance of this event, which led to the founding of the United States of America.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

ommend and do recommend to their respective Houses as follows:
That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the House and agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by the House amendment insert the following: That it is the policy of the Congress and the intent of this Act that (a) in investigating and planning any Federal navigation, flood control, reclamation, hydroelectric, or multiple-purpose water resource project, full consideration shall be given to the opportunities, if any, which the project affords for outdoor recreation and for fish and wildlife enhancement and that, wherever any such project can reasonably serve either or both of these purposes consistently with the provisions of this Act, it shall be constructed, operated, and maintained accordingly; (b) planning with respect to the development of the recreation potential of any such project shall be based on the coordination of the recreational use of the project area with the use of existing and planned Federal, State, or local public recreation developments; and (c) project construction agencies shall encourage non-Federal public bodies to administer project land and water areas for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement purposes and operate, maintain, and replace facilities provided for those purposes unless such areas or facilities are included or proposed for inclusion within a national recreation area, or are appropriate for administration by a Federal agency as a part of the national forest system, as a part of the public lands classified for retention in Federal ownership, or in connection with an authorized Federal program for the conservation and development of fish and wildlife.
Sec. 2. (a) If, before authorization of a project, non-Federal public bodies indicate their intent in writing to agree to administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or for both of these purposes pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and to bear not less than one-half the separable costs of the project allocated to either or both of said purposes, as the case may be, and all the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement incurred therefor—
(I)	the benefits of the project to said purpose or purposes shall be taken into account in determining the economic benefits of the project;
(2)	costs shall be allocated to said purpose or purposes and to other purposes in a manner which will insure that all project purposes share equitably in the advantages of multiplepurpose construction: Provided That the costs allocated to recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement shall not exceed the lesser of the benefits from those functions or the costs of providing recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits of reasonably equivalent use and
location by the least costly alternative means; and
(3)	not more than one-half the separable costs and all the joint costs of the project allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement shall be borne by the United States and be nonreimbursable.
Projects authorized during the calendar year 1965 may include recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement on the foregoing basis without the required indication of intent. Execution of an agreement as aforesaid shall be a prerequisite to commencement of construction of any project to which this subsection is applicable.
(b) The non-Federal share of the separable costs of the project allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement shall be borne by non-Federal interest, under either or both of the following methods as may be determined appropriate by the head of the Federal agency having jurisdiction over the project: (I) payment, or provision of lands, interests therein, or facilities for the project; or (2) repayment, with interest as a rate comparable to that for other interest-bearing functions of Federal water resource projects, within fifty years of first use of project recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement facilities: Provided, That the source of repayment may be limited to entrance and user fees or charges collected at the project by non-Federal interests if the fee schedule and the portion of fees dedicated to repayments are established on a basis calculated to achieve repayment as aforesaid and are made subject to review and renegotiation at intervals of not more than five years.
Sec. 3. (a) No facilities or project modifications which will furnish recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits shall be provided in the absence of the indication of intent with respect thereto specified in subsection 2 (a') of this Act unless (1) such facilities or modifications serve other project purposes and are justified thereby without regard to such incidental recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits as they may have or (2) they are minimum facilities which are required the public health and safety and are located at access points provided by roads existing at the time of project construction or constructed for the administration and management of the project. Calculation of the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement benefits in any such case shall be based on the number of visitor-days anticipated in the absence of recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement facilities or modifications except as hereinbefore provided and on the value per visitor-day of the project without such facilities or modifications. Project costs allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement on this basis shall be nonreimbursable.
(b) Notwithstanding the absence of an indication of intent as specified in subsection 2(a), lands may be provided in connection with project construction
to preserve the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement potential of the project:
(1)	If non-Federal public bodies execute an agreement within ten years after initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide that the non-Federal public bodies will administer project land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project approved by the head of the agency having administrative jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided for either or both of those purposes, as the case may be, and all costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement attributable thereto), the remainder of the costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be nonreimbursable. Such agreement and subsequent development, however, shall not be the basis for any reallocation of joint costs of the project to recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement.
(2)	If, within ten years after initial operation of the project there is not an executed agreement as specified in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the head of the agency having jurisdiction over the project may utilize the lands for any lawful purpose within the jurisdiction of his agency, or may offer the land for sale to its immediate prior owner or his immediate heirs at its appraised fair market value as approved by the head of the agency at the time of offer or, if a firm agreement by said owner or his immediate heirs is not executed within ninety days of the date of the offer, may transfer custody of the lands to another Federal agency for use for any lawful purpose within the jurisdiction of that agency, or may lease the lands to a non-Federal public body, or may transfer the lands to the Administrator of General Services for disposition in accordance with the surplus property laws of the United States. In no case shall the lands be used or made available for use for any purpose in conflict with the purposes for which the project was constructed, and in every case except that of an offer to purchase made, as hereinbefore provided, by the prior owner or his heirs preference shall be given to uses which will preserve and promote the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement potential of the project or, in the absence thereof, will not detract from that potential.
Sec. 4. At projects, the construction of which has commenced or been completed as of the effective date of this Act, where non-Federal public bodies agree to administer project land and water areas for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement purposes and to bear the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement of existing facilities serving those purposes, such facilities and ap

Sec. 5. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing or discouraging postauthorization development of any project for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement or both by non-Federal public bodies pursuant to agreement with the head of the Federal agency having jurisdiction over the project.

Sec. 6. (a) The views of the Secretary of the Interior developed in accordance with section 3 of the Act of May 28, 1963 (77 Stat. 49), with respect to the outdoor recreation aspects shall be set forth in any report of any project or appropriate unit thereof within the purview of this Act.

(c)	Expenditures for lands or interests in lands hereafter acquired by project construction agencies for the establishment of migratory water fowl refuges recommended by the Secretary of the Interior at Federal water resource projects, when such lands or interests in lands would not have been acquired but for the establishment of a migratory waterfowl refuge at the project, shall not exceed $28,000,000: Provided, That the aforementioned expenditure limitation in this subsection shall not apply to the costs of mitigating damages to migratory waterfowl caused by such water resource project.
(d)	This Act shall not apply to the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor to projects constructed under authority of the Small Reclamation Projects Act, as amended, or under authority of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, as amended.

(h)	All payments and repayment by non-Federal public bodies under the provisions of this Act shall be deposited in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, and revenue from the conveyance by deed, lease, or otherwise, of lands under subsection 3(b) (2) of this Act shall be deposited in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965.

(a) The Secretary is authorized, in conjunction with any reservoir heretofore constructed by him pursuant to the Federal reclamation laws or any reservoir which is otherwise under his control, except reservoirs within national wildlife refuges, to investigate, plan, construct, operate and maintain, or otherwise provide for public outdoor recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement facilities, to acquire or otherwise make available such adjacent lands or interests therein as are necessary for public outdoor recreation or fish and wildlife use, and to provide for public use and enjoyment of project lands, facilities, and water areas in a manner coordinated with the other project purposes: Provided, That not more than $100,000 shall be available to carry out the provisions of this subsection at any one reservoir. Lands, facilities and project modifications for the purposes of this subsection may be provided only after an agreement in accordance with subsection 3(b) of this Act has been executed.
(b)	The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to enter into agreements with Federal agencies or State or local public bodies for the administration of project land and water areas and the operation, maintenance, and replacement of facilities and to transfer project lands or facilities to Federal agencies or State or local public bodies by lease agreement or exchange upon such terms and conditions as will best promote the development and operation of such lands or facilities in the public interest for recrea-tionand fish and wildlife enhancement purposes.

tion of the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of this section. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to transfer jurisdiction over project lands within or adjacent to the exterior boundaries of national forests and facilities thereon to the Secretary of Agriculture for recreation and other national forest system purposes; and such transfer shall be made in each case in which the project reservoir area is located wholly within the exterior boundaries of a national forest unless the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior jointly determine otherwise. Where any project lands are transferred hereunder to the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture, the lands involved shall become national forest lands: Provided, That the lands and waters within the flow lines of any reservoir or otherwise needed or used for the operation of the project for other purposes shall continue to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior to the extent he determines to be necessary for such operation. Nothing herein shall limit the authority of the Secretary of the Interior granted by existing provisions of law relating to recreation or fish and wildlife development in connection with water resource projects or to disposition of public lands for such purposes.
Sec. 8. Effective on and after July 1, 1966, neither the Secretary of the Interior nor any bureau nor any person acting under his authority shall engage in the preparation of any feasibility report under reclamation law with respect to any water resource project unless the preparation of such feasibility report has been specifically authorized by law, any other provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 9. Nothing contained in this Act shall be taken to authorize or to sanction the construction under the Federal reclamation laws or under any Rivers and Harbors or Flood Control Act of any project in which the sum of the allocations to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement exceeds the sum of the allocations to irrigation, hydroelectric power, municipal, domestic and industrial water supply, navigation, and flood control, except that this section shall not apply to any such project for the enhancement of anadromous fisheries, shrimp, or for the conservation of migratory birds protected by treaty, when each of the other functions of such a project has, of itself, a favorable benefitcost ratio.

That section 202 of the Social Security Act is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:
“Cost-of-Living Increase in Benefits
“(v) (I) (A) For purposes of this subsection—■
“(i) the term ‘price index’ means the annual average over a calendar year of the Consumer Price Index (all items—United States city average) published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; and
“(ii) the term ‘base period’ means the calendar year 1964.
“(B) For purposes of determining under this subsection the per centum of increase (if any) of the price index for any year over the price index for the base period, the price index for the base period shall be regarded as 100 per centum.
“(2) As soon after January 1, 1966, and as soon after January 1 of each succeeding year as there becomes available necessary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor, the Secretary shall determine the per centum of increase (if any) in the price index for the calendar year ending with the close of the preceding December over the price index for the base period. For each full 3 per centum of increase occurring in the price index for the latest calendar year with respect to which a determination is made in accordance with this paragraph over the price index for the base period, there shall be made, in accordance with the succeeding provisions of this subsection, an increase of 3 per centum in the monthly insurance benefits payable under this title.
“(3) Increases in such insurance benefits shall be effective for benefits payable with respect to months in the one-year period commencing with April of the year in which the most recent determination pursuant to paragraph (2) is made and ending with the close of the following March.
“(4) In determining the amount of any individual’s monthly insurance benefit for purposes of applying the provisions of section 203(a) (relating to reductions of benefits when necessary to

“(5) Any increase to be made in the monthly benefits payable to or with respect to any individual shall be applied after all other provisions of this title relating to the amount of such benefit have been applied. If the amount of any increase payable by reason of the provisions of this subsection is not a multiple of $0.10, it shall be reduced to the next lower multiple of $0.10.”
Sec. 2. In addition to all sums authorized under other provisions of law to be appropriated to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, there are hereby authorized to be appropriated, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to each of the aforementioned funds, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966, and for each fiscal year thereafter, such sums as may be necessary to place each of such funds in the same financial position as that which it would have occupied if the preceding section of this Act had not been enacted as a result of the first such increase of 3 per centum in monthly insurance benefits for one year only. As soon as the annual cost of the first such increase of 3 per centum in monthly insurance benefits is computed, the Secretary shall determine the increase in social security tax schedules or changes in the wage base, or both, necessary to finance such increase and report the same to the Con
gress.

Such conditions prescribed under any of such subsections may be varied for different areas or different classes of institutions or agencies and may, at the request of a State, provide (subject, in the case of hospitals, to the limitation provided in section 1861(e)(8)) higher requirements for such State than for other States.
“ ‘Use of State Agencies To Determine Compliance by Providers of Services With Conditions of Participation
“ ‘Sec. 1864. (a) The Secretary shall make an agreement with any State which is able and willing to do so under which the services of the State health agency or other appropriate State agency (or the appropriate local agencies) will be utilized by him for the purpose of determining whether an institution therein is a hospital or extended care facility, or whether an agency therein is a home health agency, or whether a laboratory meets the requirements of paragraphs (10) and (11) of section 1861(s). To the extent that the Secretary finds it appropriate, an institution or agency which such a State (or local) agency certifies is a hospital, extended care facility, or home health agency (as those terms are defined in section 1861) may be treated as such by the Secretary. The Secretary may also, pursuant to agreement, utilize the services of State health agencies and other appropriate State agencies (and the appropriate local agencies) to do any one or more of the following: (1) to provide consultative services to institutions or agencies to assist them (A) to establish and maintain fiscal records necessary for purposes of this title, or otherwise to qualify as hospitals, extended care facilities, or home health agencies, or (B) to provide information which may be necessary to permit determination under this title as to whether payments are due and the amounts thereof, and (2) to provide consultative services to institutions, agencies, or organizations to assist in the establishment of utilization review procedures meeting the requirements of section 1861 (k) and in evaluating their effectiveness.

by or on behalf of the Secretary as may be necessary to verify such information.
Any termination shall be applicable—

MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE
A message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Hackney, one of its clerks:
Mr. President: The Speaker of the House of Representatives having signed an enrolled bill, viz, H.R. 2,1 am directed to bring the same to the Senate for the signature of its President.
REPORT ON PASSAMAQUODDY-ST. JOHN RIVER BASIN POWER DEVELOPMENT AND DICKEY-LINCOLN SCHOOL PROJECT
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communi
cation from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Public Works:
The White House, July 12,1965. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting herewith a report on the Passama-quoddy-St. John River Basin power development, together with a recommendation for the immediate authorization of the Dickey-Lincoln School project on the St. John River. Construction of this project would be contingent upon the completion of necessary arrangements with the Government of Canada.
This report, which has my approval, was prepared under the general direction of the Secretary of the Interior, and in cooperation with Federal, State, and local agencies concerned.
The report in draft form has been circulated to the Federal agencies concerned and to the Governors of the New England States for their review and comments. These comments accompany the report.
Authorization of the Dickey-Lincoln School project and the carrying forward of the other recommendations contained in the report is a highly important step in the future economic growth of the New England area.
New England is an area of exceptionally high power costs. The Federal Power Commission’s 1964 national power survey revealed that the cost of producing, transmitting, and distributing power in New England is 28 percent above the national average.
To some extent, this reflects a lack of native resources of coal, oil, and natural gas and the consequent high cost of these fuels when used for electric generation. To an equal extent, however, it reflects the relative lack of large-scale generation and transmission facilities.
The Dickey-Lincoln School project is among the best of the unexploited resources of New England and fits admirably into plans for broad-scale and longterm improvement for energy costs in New England.
Much of the 794,000 kilowatts of power which would be installed ultimately at the Dickey-Lincoln School project can be made available to meet peak loads on systems elsewhere in New England at estimated costs to these systems in the range of $15.50 per kilowatt-year and 3 mills per kilowatt-hour. These costs compare favorably with the more economic sources of peaking power which have been developed in many other parts of the Nation.
The Dickey-Lincoln School project would save New England power consumers more than $7 million annually by comparison, with costs of currently planned alternative new sources of power supply in the area. In comparison with present average costs for equivalent power in New England, the saving would be more than $9 million annually.
The location of the Dickey-Lincoln School project in northern Maine and in

relatively close relation to load centers and transmission networks in neighboring Canadian Provinces, could provide the basis for important mutual gains by Canada and the United States. The further strengthening of the interconnections between our two countries, permitting the appropriate exchange of available capacity and energy and mutual support under emergency conditions, could be a significant extension in the program of international cooperation which has aided so much in the mutual improvement of our electric energy resources.
While power developments will make significant contributions to the economic well-being of the New England region, comprehensive planning for the multiple use of the natural resources of the region should also be pursued to provide for a balanced program of regional economic development.
I am requesting that the Federal agencies, working in full cooperation with State and regional planning groups, continue and accelerate the preparation of an overall plan for the development of the region’s resources. Particular attention will be given to the historic sites and values in New England which form such an important part of our national heritage, including any recommendations the Roosevelt Park Commission may make to the United States and Canadian Governments for a more extensive program of development of President Franklin Roosevelt’s summer home on Campobello Island.
I am confident that this program for the development of the resources of the New England areas will make a major contribution to the region, the Nation, and indeed—looking ahead to the future—to the well-being of the people of Canada as well. I commend this report to the Congress for its consideration.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

“ ‘ (f) The education and training allowance of an eligible veteran who is pursuing a program of education or training under this chapter in an educational institution on a less than halftime basis shall be computed at the rate of (1) the established charges for tuition and fees which the institution requires similarly circumstanced nonveterans enrolled in the same course to pay, or (2) $110 per month for a full-time course, whichever is the lesser.
“‘(g) Each eligible veteran who is pursuing an approved course of flight training shall be paid an education and training allowance to be computed at the rate of 75 per centum of the established charge which similarly circumstanced nonveterans enrolled in the same flight course are required to pay for tuition for the course.

In each such case the eligible veteran’s period of entitlement shall be charged (in addition to any charge made against his entitlement by reason of education or training other than flight training) with one day of each $1.25 which is paid to the veteran as an education and training allowance for such course.
“ ‘(h) No eligible veteran shall be paid an education and training allowance under this chapter for any period during which (1) he is enrolled in and pursuing a course of education or training paid foi* by the United States under any provision of law other than this chapter, where the payment of such allowance would constitute a duplication of benefits paid to the veteran from the Federal Treasury, or (2) he is pursuing a course of apprentice or other training on the job, a course of institutional on-farm training, or a course of education and training described in subsection (b) on a less than full-time basis.
“ ‘§ 1933. Measurement of courses
“‘(a) For the purposes of this chapter (1) an institutional trade or technical course offered on a clock-hour basis below the college level involving shop practice as an integral part thereof, shall be considered a full-time course when a minimum of thirty hours per week of attendance is required with not more than two and one-half hours of rest periods per week allowed, (2) an institutional course offered on a clock-hour basis below the college level in which theoretical or classroom instruction predominates shall be considered a full-time course when a minimum of twenty-five hours per week net of instruction is required, and (3) an institutional undergraduate course offered by a college or university on a quarter or semester-hour basis for which credit is granted toward a standard college degree shall be considered a full-time course when a minimum of fourteen semester hours or its equivalent is required.

TEACHING PROFESSIONS ACT OF 1965
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare:
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
603
The White House, July 17, 1965. Dear Mr. President: As I announced in my remarks before the National Education Association on July 2, I am proposing legislation to bring the best of our Nation’s talent to its schools. This legislation, the Teaching Professsions Act of 1965, will create a National Teacher Corps to serve in city slums and areas of rural poverty; establish a program of fellowships to prepare students for teaching careers in elementary and secondary education and to help experienced teachers enhance their qualifications; aid institutions of higher education to provide better programs for educating teachers.
The National Teacher Corps draws on that spirit of dedication of Americans which has been demonstrated time and again in peace and war, by young and old, at home and abroad. It will provide a challenge and an opportunity for teachers with a sense of mission—those best suited to the momentous tasks this Nation faces in improving education.
The National Teacher Corps can help improve the quality of teaching where quality is most needed and most often in short supply—in city slums and in areas of rural poverty. It will enroll experienced teachers, and, to work with them, students who intend to make teaching a career. They will teach in local schools at the request of local communities and will serve on the same terms as local teachers. They will be local, not Federal, employees.
The fellowships are essential if teaching is to attract a higher proportion of our ablest young people, and if the best teaching is to prevail in the classroom. Students preparing for teaching in these days should have superior graduate training. Teaching is a difficult job at best; the more preparation for it, the better.
The desire of classroom teachers to replenish their skills and knowledge is not only to be applauded but aided. As revolutionary changes take place in all subjects and at all levels of learning, there is a limit to the sacrifice we can ask of our teachers in their efforts to renew their knowledge.
Finally, I propose a program of grants to help institutions of higher education offer first-rate programs to would-be teachers as well as to experienced teachers. This measure, coupled with the fellowship program and the National Teacher Corps, completes a program which is entitled to be called the Teaching Professions Act of 1965.
The Teaching Professions Act of 1965 is a composite of hard thinking about educational problems in the Congress, in the executive branch, and in the teaching profession. It owes much to the proposals of Senators Gaylord Nelson and Edward Kennedy for a national teacher corps; to Senators Wayne Morse and Clifford Case and Representatives Carl Perkins and John Brademas for a program of fellowships for teachers; and to Representative Patsy Mink for a program of Federal grants to teachers for sabbatical leaves.
This bill will deepen the meaning and substance of the already impressive work of the 88th and 89th Congresses in the field of education. I have concluded that it is of sufficient urgency to justify action by this session of the Congress. The problems which face us in education do not grow smaller as time goes by; neither should our determination to attack and solve those problems. I commend to you the Teaching Professions Act of 1965, and hope that you will give it speedy consideration.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT OF COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States, which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry:
To the Congress of the United States:
Thirty years ago, the Congress brought into being the Commodity Credit Corporation. In transmitting the report of this agency for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1964, as provided by section 13 of Public Law 806, 80th Congress, I feel it is appropriate to view, in summary, the three decades of the Corporation operations.
Over the past 30 years, the Commodity Credit Corporation has:
First. Enabled farmers to hold their crops for fair market prices.
Second. Minimized the depressing effect of surpluses by holding them off the market.
Third. Assured a stable flow of food to consumers, deterring inflationary pressures.
Fourth. Created a sound base for banks and other lending institutions which supply the credit needs of farmers.
Fifth. Provided in wartime the means of supplying our allies with food and fiber, and in the postwar period became the instrument which insured that food could also help keep the peace.
Sixth. Acted as the mechanism for executing the food-for-peace program, the International Wheat Agreement, and other similar international programs.
Seventh. Supported the rapid expansion of agricultural exports.
During fiscal 1964, the Commodity Credit Corporation reduced its invest
ment in farm commodity inventories by more than $380 million. The wheat inventory was reduced by about 275 million bushels, and the supplies of dairy products were brought down to manageable levels.
The Commodity Credit Corporation is a creature of legislation. Its ability to fulfill our objectives for the future is no greater than the strength of legislation enacted by the Congress. It can function best when farm commodity programs are responsive to the conditions which exist in the agricultural economy. If these programs are in time with the times, the Commodity Credit Corporation can perform its proper functions for farmers and for the public.
The legislation which I proposed this year, and which is now before the Congress, will help the Corporation to carry forward the objectives it should fulfill in the coming decade. These objectives are:
To continue the financial progress of our farmers;
To further reduce the Corporation’s costs by bringing stocks of farm commodities down to more manageable levels;
To assure an abundant supply of high-quality, reasonably priced foods without fear of severe price fluctuations for our consumers;
To cushion the forces of the revolution in farm productivity which enable output to far exceed our capacity for use by balancing the growth in farm output with our ever-expanding food and fiber requirements;
To use our abundance as a force for peace and progress;
To rely more upon the marketplace as the primary source of fair farm returns.
Instruments of public policy can weight the scales of economic justice on the side of those who are disadvantaged, but they should enhance—not supplant—the equal opportunity for each person to obtain a decent livelihood from our economic system.
The Commodity Credit Corporation has an important place among the instruments of public policy:
Without the programs for which it acts as fiscal agent, the income netted by farmers would decline by half.
Without adequate income, the family farm system which dominates our agriculture would die.
Without family farms the vast abundance of food and fiber we all have come to expect as a natural condition of a highly productive economy would no longer be assured.
The Commodity Credit Corporation as a visible expression of our commitment to abundance continues to be a servant of all people. What began 30 years ago as an experiment to provide economic justice for the farmer has now become a tested instrument in the continuing experiment each generation performs to demonstrate the vitality of our democracy.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, July 22, 1965.

(A)	the mortgagor is not in default with respect to any condition or covenant of the mortgage other than that requiring the payment of installments of principal and/or interest under the mortgage, and
(B)	such action is the only available means whereby a foreclosure of such mortgage can be avoided.
(3)	Prior to the issuance to any distressed mortgagor of a certificate of mor

The foregoing powers shall be subject, however, to the following restrictions and limitations:
(1)	No guarantee shall be issued by the Administration (A) if a guarantee meeting the requirements of the applicant is otherwise available on reasonable terms, and (B) unless the Administration determines that there exists a reasonable expectation that the small business concern in behalf of which the guarantee is issued will perform the covenants and conditions of the lease.
“(2) The Adminstration shall, to the gratest extent practicable, exercise
the powers conferred by this section in cooperation with qualified surety or other companies on a participation basis
“(b) The Administration shall fix a uniform annual fee for its share of any guarantee under this section which shall be payable in advance at such time as may be prescribed by the Administrator.

The Administration may also fix such uniform fees for the processing of applications for guarantees under this section as the Administrator determines are reasonable and necessary to pay the administrative expenses that are incurred in connection therewith.
“(c) In connection with the guarantee of rentals under any lease pursuant to authority conferred by this section, the Administrator may require, in order to minimize the financial risk assumed under such guarantee—
“(1) that the lessee pay an amount, not to exceed one-fourth of the minimum guaranteed annual rental required under the lease, which shall be held in escrow and shall be available (A) to meet rental charges accruing in any month for which the lessee is in default, or (B) if no default occurs during the term of the lease, for application (with accrued interest) toward final payments of rental charges under the lease;
“(2) that upon occurrence of a default under the lease, the lessor shall, as a condition precedent to enforcing any claim under the lease guarantee, utilize the entire period, for which there are funds available in escrow for payment of rentals, in reasonably diligent efforts to eliminate or minimize losses, by releasing the commercial or industrial property covered by the lease to another qualified tenant, and no claim shall be made or paid under the guarantee until such effort has been made and such escrow funds have been exhausted;
“(3) that any guarantor of the lease will become a successor of the lessor for the purpose of collecting from a lessee in default rentals which are in arrears and with respect to which the lessor has received payment under a guarantee made pursuant to this section; and
“(4) such other provisions, not inconsistent with the purposes of this title, as the Administrator may in his discretion require.

REPORT OF ATLANTIC-PACIFIC INTEROCEANIC CANAL STUDY COMMISSION
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Commerce :
To the Congress of the United States:
By Public Law 88-609, I was authorized to appoint five men from private life to make a full study of the most suitable site for, and best means of constructing, a sea-level canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. On April 18, 1965, I appointed five distinguished American citizens to serve on the Atlantic-Pacific Interoceanic Canal Commission. They are: Robert B. Anderson, Chairman; Robert G. Storey, Vice Chairman; Milton S. Eisenhower, Kenneth E. Fields, and Raymond A. Hill.
The Commission immediately set about its difficult and complicated mission. The initial phase of its work has been to develop a program of investigations covering the many aspects of the construction of a sea-level canal. It has selected the Chief of Engineers, U.S. Army, to conduct the engineering feasibility study under the direction of the Commission. The Commission will soon call upon other Government and private agencies to carry out additional studies to aid in assessing the broad national and international implications of a sea
level canal. By early next year the Commission expects to begin on-site surveys of possible canal routes. The Commission is also contemplating a trip to Panama in the near future to study at first hand the present Canal Zone and another possible canal route in Panama’s Darien Province. I am highly gratified by the progress made by the Commission, under the able leadership of Mr. Anderson, during the short period that it has been working.
The Commission has requested the Congress to appropriate sufficient funds in fiscal year 1966 to initiate investigations on the most promising sea level canal routes. On-site surveys would begin in January, with the next annual dry season on the isthmus. I recommend prompt action on the request in order that the Commission be in a position to initiate this important aspect of its work during this 4-month period of favorable weather conditions.
Under the terms of the authorizing legislation, the Commission is required to report to me on its progress for transmittal to the Congress on July 31 of each year and to make its final report not later than June 30, 1968. I take pleasure in submitting the first annual report of the Commission.
In forwarding this report to the Congress, I wish to reiterate the importance which I attach to pressing forward with plans and preparations for a sea level canal. I think this is needed for the protection and promotion of peaceful trade, as well as for the welfare of the hemisphere. It is needed in the true interests of the United States and in fairness and justice to all.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, July 31, 1965.

The question being taken on agreeing to the amendments heretofore proposed by Mr. Dirksen (being No. 366), as modified, as a substitute for the joint resolution, viz:
On page 2, strike out lines 3 through 9, inclusive, as follows: “That, in honor of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the American Legion baseball program, the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating the period from August 31 through September 6 in 1965, as “National American Legion Baseball Week”, and inviting the Governors of the several States to issue similar proclamations:” and insert in lieu thereof the following: (two -thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission by the Congress:
“Article —
“Section 1. The people of a State may apportion one house of a bicameral legislature using population, geography, and political subdivisions as factors, giving each factor such weight as they deem appropriate, or giving reasonable weight to the same factors in apportioning a unicameral legislature, if in either case, such plan of apportionment has been submitted to a vote of the people in accordance with law and with the provisions of this Constitution and has been approved by a majority of those voting on that issue. When a plan of apportionment based on factors of population, geography, and political subdivisions, is submitted to a vote of the people under this section there shall also be submitted, at the same election, an alternative plan of apportionment based upon substantial equality of population.
“Sec. 2. Any plan of apportionment which has been approved under this article shall be resubmitted to a vote of the people, or, another plan may be submitted under the provisions of section 1, at the November general election held two years following each year in which there is commenced any enumeration provided for in section 2 of article I, and upon approval by a majority of those voting thereon, such plan of apportionment

That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the House to the substantive provisions of the bill and agree to the same with an
35-100—S J—89-1---43
amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House amendment insert the following: That this Act be known as the “Voting Rights Act of 1965”.
Sec. 2. No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color.
Sec. 3. (a) Whenever the Attorney General institutes a proceeding under any statute to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment in any State or political subdivision the court shall authorize the appointment of Federal examiners by the United States Civil Service Commission in accordance with section 6 to serve for such period of time and for such political subdivisions as the court shall determine is appropriate to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment (1) as part of any interlocutory order if the court determines that the appointment of such examiners is necessary to enforce such guarantees or (2) as part of any final judgment if the court finds that violations of the fifteenth amendment justifying equitable relief have occurred in such State or subdivision: Provided, That the court need not authorize the appointment of examiners if any incidents of denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color (1) have been few in number and have been promptly and effectively corrected by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.
(b)	If in a proceeding instituted by the Attorney General under any statute to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment in any State or political subdivision the court finds that a test or device has been used for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color, it shall suspend the use of tests and devices in such State or political subdivisions as the court shall determine is appropriate and for such period as it deems necessary.
(c)	If in any proceeding instituted by the Attorney General under any statute to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment in any State or political subdivision the court finds that violations of the fifteenth amendment justifying equitable relief have occurred within the territory of such State or political subdivision, the court, in addition to such relief as it may grant, shall retain jurisdiction for such period as it may deem appropriate and during such period no voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting different from, that in force or effect at the time the proceeding was commenced shall be enforced unless and until the court finds that such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure does not have the purpose and will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right
to vote on account of race or color: Provided, That such qualification, prequisite, standard, practice, or procedure may be enforced if the qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure has been submitted by the chief legal officer or other appropriate official of such State or subdivision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has not interposed an objection within sixty days after such submission, except that neither the court’s finding nor the Attorney General’s failure to object shall bar a subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure.
Sec. 4. (a) To assure that the right of citizens of the United States to vote is not denied or abridged on account of race or color, no citizen shall be denied the right to vote in any Federal, State, or local election because of his failure to comply with any test or device in any State with respect to which the determinations have been made under subsection (b) or in any political subdivision with respect to which such determinations have been made as a separate unit, unless the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in an action for a declaratory judgment brought by such State or subdivision against the United States has determined that no such test or device has been used during the five years preceding the filing of the action for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color: Provided, That no such declaratory judgment shall issue with respect to any plaintiff for a period of five years after the entry of a final judgment of any court of the United States, other than the denial of a declaratory judgment under this section, whether entered prior to or after the enactment of this Act, determining that denials or abridgments of the right to vote on account of race or color through the use of such tests or devices have occurred anywhere in the territory of such plaintiff.
An action pursuant to this subsection shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court. The court shall retain jurisdiction of any action pursuant to this subsection for five years after judgment and shall reopen the action upon motion of the Attorney General alleging that a test or device has been used for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.
If the Attorney General determines that he has no reason to believe that any such test or device has been used during ing the five years preceding the filing of the action for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, he shall consent to the entry of such judgment.
(b)	The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply in any State or in any political subdivision of a State which (1) the Attorney General determines maintained on November 1, 1964, any test
672
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

or device, and with respect to which (2) the Director of the Census determines that less than 50 per centum of the persons of voting age residing therein were registered on November 1, 1964, or that less than 50 per centum of such persons voted in the presidential election of November 1964.
A determination or certification of the Attorney General or of the Director of the Census under this section or under section 6 or section 13 shall not be reviewable in any court and shall be effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
(c)	The phrase “test or device” shall mean any requirement that a person as a prerequisite for voting or registration for voting (1) demonstrate the ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter, (2) demonstrate any educational achievement or his knowledge of any particular subject, (3) possess good moral character, or (4) prove his qualifications by the voucher of registered voters or members of any other class.
(d)	For purposes of this section no State or political subdivision shall be determined to have engaged in the use of tests or devices for the purpose or with the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color if (1) incidents of such use have been few in number and have been promptly and effectively corrected by State or local action, (2) the continuing effect of such incidents has been eliminated, and (3) there is no reasonable probability of their recurrence in the future.
(e)(1) Congress hereby declares that to secure the rights under the fourteenth amendment of persons educated in American-flag schools in which the predominated classroom language was other than English, it is necessary to prohibit the States from conditioning the right to vote of such persons on ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language.
(2) No person who demonstrates that he has successfully completed the sixth primary grade in a public school in, or a private school accredited by, any State or territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonzvealth of Puerto Rico in which the predominant classroom language was other than English, shall be denied the right to vote in any Federal, State, or local election because of his inability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language, except that in States in which State law provides that a different level of education is presumptive of literacy, he shall demonstrate that he has successfully completed an equivalent level of education in a public school in, or a private school accredited by, any State or territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in which the predominant classroom language was other than English.
Sec. 5. Whenever a State or political subdivision with respect to which the prohibitions set forth in section 4(a) are in effect shall enact or seek to administer any voting qualification or prerequisite to
voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting, different from that in force or effect on November 1,1964, such State or subdivision may institute an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for a declaratory judgment that such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure does not have the purpose and will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, and unless and until the court enters such judgment no person shall be denied the right to vote for failure to comply ivith such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure: Provided, That such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure may be enforced, without such proceeding if the qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure has been submitted by the chief legal officer or other appropriate official of such State or subdivision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General has not interposed an objection within sixty days after such submission, except that neither the Attorney General’s failure to object nor a declaratory judgment entered under this section shall bar a subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure. Any action under this section shall be heard and determined by a court of three judges in accordance with the provisions of section 2284 of title 28 of the United States Code and any appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court.
Sec. 6. Whenever (a) a court has authorized the appointment of examiners pursuant to the provisions of section 3 (a), or (b) unless a declaratory judgment has been rendered under section 4(a), the Attorney General certifies with respect to any political subdivision named in, or included within the scope of, determinations made under section 4(b) that (1) he has received complaints in writing from twenty or more residents of such political subdivision alleging that they have been denied the right to vote under color of law on account of race or color, and that he believes such complaints to be meritorious, or (2) that in his judgment (considering, among other factors, whether the ratio of nonwhite persons to white persons registered to vote within such subdivision appears to him to be reasonably attributable to violations of the fifteenth amendment or whether substantial evidence exists that bona fide efforts are being made within such subdivision to comply with the fifteenth amendment), the appointment of examiners is otherwise necessary to enforce the guarantees of the fifteenth amendment, the Civil Service Commission shall appoint as many examiners for such subdivision as it may deem appropriate to prepare and maintain lists of persons eligible to vote in Federal, State, and local elections. Such examiners, hearing officers provided for in section 9(a), and other persons deemed necessary by the Commission to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Act shall be appointed, compensated, and sep
arated without regard to the provisions of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, and service under this Act shall not be considered employment for the purposes of any statute administered by the Civil Service Commission, except the provisions of section 9 of the Act of August 2, 1939, as amended (5 U.S.C. 1181), prohibiting partisan political activity: Provided, That the Commission is authorized, after consulting the head of the appropriate department or agency, to designate suitable persons in the official service of the United States, with their consent, to serve in these positions. Examiners and hearings officers shall have the power to administer oaths.
Sec. 7. (a) The examiners for each political subdivision shall, at such places as the Civil Services Commission shall by regulation designate, examine applicants concerning their qualifications for voting. An application to an examiner shall be in such form as the Commission may require and shall contain allegations that the applicant is not otherwise registered to vote.
(b)	Any person whom the examiner finds, in accordance with instructions received under section 9(b), to have the qualifications prescribed by State law not inconsistent with the Constitution, and laws of the United States shall promptly be placed on a list of eligible voters. A challenge to such listing may be made in accordance with section 9(a) and shall not be the basis for a prosecution under section 12 of this Act. The examiner shall certify and transmit such list, and any supplements as appropriate, at least once a month, to the offices of the appropriate election officials, with copies to the Attorney General and the attorney general of the State, and any such lists and supplements thereto transmitted during the month shall be available for public inspection on the last business day of the month and in any event not later than the forty-fifth day prior to any election. The appropriate State or local election official shall place such names on the official voting list. Any person whose name appears on the examiner’s list shall be entitled and allowed to vote in the election district of his residence unless and until the appropriate election officials shall have been notified that such person has been removed from such list in accordance with subsection (d): Provided, That no person shall be entitled to vote in any election by virtue of this Act unless his name shall have been certified and transmitted on such a list to the offices of the appropriate election officials at least forty-five days prior to such election.
(c)	The examiner shall issue to each person whose name appears on such a list a certificate evidencing his eligibility to vote.
(d)	A person whose name appears on such a list shall be removed therefrom by an examiner if (1) such person has been successfully challenged in accordance with the procedure prescribed in section 9, or (2) he has been determined by an examiner to have lost his eligibility to vote under State law not inconsistent

with the Constitution and the laws oj the United States.
Sec. 8. Whenever an examiner is serving under this Act in any political subdivision, the Civil Service Commission may assign, at the reguest of the Attorney General, one or more persons, who may be officers of the United States, (1) to enter and attend at any place for holding an election in such subdivision for the purpose of observing whether persons who are entitled to vote are being permitted to vote, and (2) to enter and attend at any place for tabulating the votes cast at any election held in such subdivision for the purpose of observing whether votes cast by persons entitled to vote are being properly tabulated. Such persons so assigned shall report to an examiner appointed for such political subdivision, to the Attorney General, and if the appointment of examiners has been authorized pursuant to section 3(a), to the court.
Sec. 9. (a) Any challenge to a listing on an eligibility list prepared by an examiner shall be heard and determined by a hearing officer appointed by and responsible to the Civil Service Commission and under such rules as the Commission shall by regulation prescribe. Such challenge shall be entertained only if filed at such office within the State as the Civil Service Commission shall by regulation designate, and within ten days after the listing of the challenged person is made available for public inspection, and if supported by (1) the affidavits of at least two persons having personal knowledge of the facts constituting grounds for the challenge, and (2) a certification that a copy of the challenge and affidavits have been served by mail or in person upon the person challenged at his place of residence set out in the application. Such challenge shall be determined within fifteen days after it has been filed. A petition for review of the decision of the hearing officer may be filed in the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which the person challenged resides within fifteen days after service of such decision by mail on the person petitioning for review but no decision of a hearing officer shall be reversed unless clearly erroneous. Any person listed shall be entitled and allowed to vote pending final determination by the hearing officer and by the court.
(b)	The times, places, procedures, and form for application and listing pursuant to this Act and removals from the eligibility lists shall be prescribed by regulations promulgated by the Civil Service Commission and the Commission shall, after consultation with the Attorney General, instruct examiners concerning applicable State law not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States with respect to (1) the qualifications required for listings, and (2) loss of eligibility to vote.
(c)	Upon the request of the applicant or the challenger or on its own motion the Civil Service Commission shall have the power to require by subpena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and
the production of documentary evidence relating to any matter pending before it under the authority of this section. In case of continuancy or refusal to obey a subpena, any district court of the United States or the United States court of any territory or possession, or the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, within the jurisdiction of which said person guilty of continuancy or refusal to obey is found or resides or is domiciled or transacts business, or has appointed an agent for receipt of service of process, upon application by the Attorney General of the United States shall have jurisdiction to issue to such person an order requiring such person to appear before the Commission or a hearing officer, there to produce pertinent, relevant, and nonprivileged documentary evidence if so ordered, or there to give testimony touching the matter under investigation; and any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.
Sec. 10. (a) The Congress finds that the requirement of the payment of a poll tax as a precondition to voting (i) precludes persons of limited means from voting or imposes unreasonable financial hardship upon such persons as a precondition to their exercise of the franchise, (ii) does not bear a reasonable relationship to any legitimate state interest in the conduct of elections, and (Ui) in some areas has the purpose or effect of denying persons the right to vote because of race or color. Upon the basis of these findings, Congress declares that the constitutional right of citizens to vote is denied or abridged in some areas by the requirement of the payment of a poll tax as a precondition to voting.
(b)	In the exercise of the powers of Congress under section 5 of the fourteenth amendment and section 2 of the fifteenth amendment, the Attorney General is authorized and directed to institute forthwith in the name of the United States such actions, including actions against States or political subdivisions, for declaratory judgment or injunctive relief against the enforcement of any requirement of the payment of a poll tax as a precondition to voting, or substitute therefor enacted after November 1, 1964, as will be necessary to implement the declaration of subsection (a) and the purposes of this section.

The authority to place permanent or temporary improvements on land includes authority for surveys, administration, overhead, planning, and supervision incident to construction. That authority may be exercised before title to the land is approved under section 355 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (40 U.S.C. 255), and even though the land is held temporarily. The authority to acquire real estate or land includes authority to make surveys and to acquire land, and interests in land (including temporary use), by gift, purchase, exchange of Government-owned land, or otherwise.
Sec. 602. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for the purposes of this Act, but appropriations for public works projects authorized by titles I, II, III, IV, and V shall not exceed—

Sec. 603.

However, the total costs of all projects in each such title may not be more than the total amount authorized to be appropriated for projects in that title.
Sec. 604. Whenever—
(1)	the President determines that compliance with section 2313(b) of title 10, United States Code, for contracts made under this Act for the establishment or development of military installations and facilities in foreign countries would interfere with the carrying out of this Act; and
(2)	the Secretary of Defense and the Comptroller General have agreed upon alternative methods of adequately auditing those contracts;
the President may exempt those contracts from the requirements of that section.
Sec. 605. Contracts for construction made by the United States for performance within the United States and its possessions under this Act shall be executed under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, or the Bureau of Yards and Docks (Department of the Navy, unless the Secretary of Defense determines that because such jurisdiction and supervision is wholly impracticable such contracts should be executed under the jurisdiction and supervision of another department or Government agency, and shall be awarded, insofar as practicable, on a competitive basis to the lowest responsible bidder, if the national security will not be impaired and the award is consistent with chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code. Regulations issued by the Secretary of Defense implementing the provisions of this section shall provide the department or agency requiring such construction with the right to select either the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, or the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Department of the Navy, as its construction agent, providing that under the facts and circumstances that exist at the time of the selection of the construction agent, such selection will not result in any increased cost to the United States. The Secretaries of the military departments shall report semiannually to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives with respect to all contracts awarded on other than a competitive basis to the lowest responsible bidder.
Sec. 606.

CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 5401
Mr. LAUSCHE submitted the following conference report:
The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 5401) to amend the Interstate Commerce Act so as to strengthen and improve the national transportation system, and for other purposes, having met, after full and free conference, have agreed to recommend and do recommend to their respective Houses as follows:
That the House recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate and agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the Senate amendment insert the following: That subsection (/) of section 205 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 305 (/)) is amended by inserting after the second sentence thereof the following new sentence: “In addition, the Commission is authorized to make cooperative agreements with the various States to enforce the economic and safety laws and regulations of the various States and the United States concerning highway transportation.”
Sec. 2. Subsection (b) of section 202 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 302(b)) is amended by inserting “(1)” immediately after “(b)” and by adding at the end thereof the following:
“(2) The requirement by a State that any motor carrier operating in interstate or forcing commerce within the borders of that State register its certificate of public convenience and necessity or permit issued by the Commission shall not constitute an undue burden on interstate commerce provided that such registration is accomplished in accordance with standards, or amendments thereto, determined and officially certified to the Commission by the national organization of the State commissions, as referred to in section 205(f) of this Act, and promulgated by the Commission. As so certified, such standards, or amendments thereto, shall be promulgated forthwith by the Commission and shall become effective five years from the date of such promulgation. As used in this paragraph, ‘standards or amendments thereto’ shall mean specification of forms and procedures required to evidence the lawfulness of interstate operations of a carrier within a State by (a) filing and maintaining current records of the certificates and permits issued by the Commission, (b) registering and identifying vehicles as operating under such certificates and permits, (c) filing and maintaining evidence of currently effective insurance or qualifications as a self-insurer under rules and regulations of the Commission, and (d) filing designations of local agents for service of process. Different standards may be determined and promulgated for each of the classes of carriers as differences in their operations may warrant. In determining or amending such standards, the national organization of the State commissions shall consult with the Commission and with representatives of motor carriers subject to State registration requirements. To the extent that any State requirements for registration of motor carrier certificates or permits issued by the Commission impose obligations which are in excess of the standards or amendments thereto promulgated under this paragraph, such excessive requirements shall, on the effective date of such standards, constitute an undue burden on interstate commerce. If the national organization of the State commissions fails to determine and certify to the Commission such standards within eighteen months from the effective date of the paragraph, or if that organization at any time determines to withdraw in their entirety standards previously determined or promulgated, it shall be the duty of the Commission, within one year thereafter, to devise and promulgate such standards, and to review from time to time the standards to established and make such amendments therto as it may deem necessary, in accordance with the foregoing requirements of this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to deprive the Commission, when there is a reasonable question of interpretation or construction, of its jurisdiction to interpret or construe certificates of public convenience and necessity, permits, or rules and regulations issued by the Commission, nor to authorize promulgation of stand
August 18
ards in conflict with any rule or regulation of the Commission.”
Sec. 3. Subsection (h) of section 222 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 322(h)) is amended by striking out the words “shall forfeit to the United States the sum of $100 for each such offense, and, in case of a continuing violation, not to exceed $50 for each additional day during which such failure or refusal shall continue” in the first sentence therein and by inserting in lieu thereof the following: “or who shall fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of section 203(c) or section 206(a) (1) or section 209(a) (1) shall forfeit to the United States not to exceed $500 for each such offense, and, in case of a continuing violation not to exceed $250 for each additional day during which such failure or refusal shall continue”.
Sec. 4. Subsection (b) of section 222 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 322(b)) is amended to read as follows:
“(b)(1) If any motor carrier or broker operates in violation of any provision of this part (except as to the reasonableness of rates, fares, or charges and the discriminatory character thereof) , or any lawful rule, regulation, or order promulgated by the Commission, or of any term or condition of any certificate or permit, the Commission or its duly authorized agent may apply for the enforcement thereof to the district court of the United States for any district where such motor carrier or broker operates. In any proceeding instituted under the provisions of this subsection, any person, or persons, acting in concert or participating with such carrier or broker in the commission of such violation, may without regard to his or their residence, be included, in addition to the motor carrier or broker, as a party, or parties, to the proceeding. The court shall have jurisdiction to enforce obedience to any such provision of this part, or of such rule, regulation, requirement, order, term, or condition by a writ of injunction or by other process, mandatory or otherwise, restraining such carrier or broker, his or its officers, agents, employees, and representatives, and such other person or persons, acting in concert or participating with such carrier or broker, from further violation of such provision of this part, or of such rule, regulation, requirement, order, term, or condition and enjoining upon it or them obedience thereto. Process in such proceedings may be served upon such motor carrier, or broker, or upon such person, or persons, acting in concert or participating therewith in the commission of such violations, without regard to the territorial limits of the district or of the State in which the proceeding is instituted.
“(2) If any person operates in clear and patent violtaion of any provisions of section 203(c), 206, 209, or 211 of this part, or any rule, regulation, requirement, or order thereunder, any person injured thereby may apply to the district court of the United States for any district where such person so violating operates, for the enforcement of such sec

tion, or of such rule, regulation, requirement or order. The court shall have jurisdiction to enforce obedience thereto by a writ of injunction or by other process, mandatory or otherwise, restraining such person, his or its officers, agents, employees, and representatives from further violation of such section or of such rule, regulation, requirement, or order; and enjoining upon it or them obedience thereto. A copy of any application for relief filed pursuant to this paragraph shall be served upon the Commission and a certificate of such service shall appear in such application. The Commission may appear as of right in any such action. The party who or which prevails in any such action may, in the discretion of the court, recover reasonable attorney’s fees to be fixed by the court, in addition to any costs allowable under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the plaintiff instituting such action shall be required to give security, in such sum as the court deems proper, to protect the interests of the party or parties against whom any temporary restraining order, temporary injunctive, or other process is issued should it later be proven unwarranted by the facts and circumstances.
“(3) In any action brought under paragraph (2) of this subsection, the Commission may notify the district court of the United States in which such action is pending that it intends to consider the matter in a proceeding before the Commission. Upon the filing of such a notice the court shall stay further action pending disposition of the proceeding before the Commission.”
Sec. 5. Subsection (b) of section 417 of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 1017(b)) is amended by inserting “(1)” immediately after “(b)” and by adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph:
“(2) If any person operates in clear and patent violation of section 410 of this part, or any rule, regulation, requirement, or order thereunder, any person injured thereby may apply to the district court of the United States for any district where such person so violating operates, for the enforcement of such section, or of such rule, regulation, requirement, or order. The court shall have jurisdiction to enforce obedience thereto by a writ of injunction or by other process, mandatory or otherwise, restraining such person, his or its officers, agents, employees, and representatives from further violation of such section or of such rule, regulation, requirement, or order; and enjoining upon it or them obedience thereto. A copy of any application for relief filed pursuant to this paragraph shall be served upon the Commission and a certificate of such service shall appear in such application. The Commission may appear as of right in any such action. The party who or which prevails in any such action may, in the discretion of the court, recover reasonable attorney’s fees to be fixed by the court, in addition to any costs allowable under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the plaintiff instituting such action shall be required to give security, in such sum as the court deems proper, to protect the interests of the party or parties against whom any tem
porary restraining order, temporary injunctive or other process is issued should it later be proven unwarranted by the facts and circumstances.
“(3) In any action brought under paragraph (2) of this subsection, the Commission may notify the district court of the United States in which such action is pending that it intends to consider the matter in a proceeding before the Commission. Upon the filing of such a notice the court shall stay further action pending disposition of the proceed-before the Commission.”
Sec. 6. (a) Paragraph (2) of section 204a of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 304a) is amended to read as follows:
“(2) For recovery of reparations, action at law shall be begun against common carriers by motor vehicle subject to this part within two years from the time the cause of action accrues, and not after, and for recovery of overcharges, action at law shall be begun against common carriers by motor vehicle subject to this part within three years from the time the cause of action accrues, and not after, subject to paragraph (3) of this section, except that if claim for the overcharge has been presented in writing to the carrier within the three-year period of limitation said period shall be extended to include six months from the time notice in writing is given by the carrier to the claimant of disalloioance of the claim, or any part or parts thereof, specified in the notice.”
(b) Section 204a of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 304a) is amended by redesignating paragraphs (5), (6), and (7) as paragraphs (6), (7), and (8), respectively, and by inserting immediately after paragraph (4) thereof the following:
“(5) The term ‘reparations’ as used in this section means damages resulting from charges for transportation services to the extent that the Commission, upon complaint made as provided in section 216(e) of this part, finds them to have been unjust and unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory or unduly preferential or unduly prejudicial.”
Sec. 7. (a) Paragraph (2) of section 406a of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. 1006a) is amended to read as follows :

Whereas the United States has since its birth been committed to the principle of the self-determination of peoples; and
Whereas this essential moral principle is also affirmed in the Charter of the United Nations; and
Whereas the three Baltic nations, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, which
were invaded and occupied by the Soviet armed forces in the early days of World War II and subsequently incorporated by terror and fraud into the Soviet Union, have been governed thereafter by quisling dictatorships and completely subservient to the Kremlin and utterly without support among their own peoples; and
Whereas the United States has consistently refused to recognize the unlawful Soviet occupation of the Baltic States and has continued to maintain diplomatic relations with representatives of the free Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia; and
Whereas the United Nations and the American delegation in the United Nations have consistently upheld the right to self-determination of those countries in Asia and Africa that are, or until recently have been, under foreign imperialist rule; and
Whereas the continued enslavement of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union carries with it the implication that future acts of military aggression will also go unpunished and will ultimately be accorded tacit acceptance by the rest of the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring'), That the President is requested to take all necessary measures to bring the Baltic States question before the United Nations and to urge that the United Nations request the Soviet Union—
(1)	to withdraw all Soviet troops, agents, colonists, and controls from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia; and
(2)	to return all Baltic exiles from Siberia, prisons, and slave labor camps in the Soviet Union; and be it further Resolved, That until the liberation of the Baltic States is accomplished, the United States Information Agency and other propaganda agencies of the United States Government shall do their utmost to bring the matter of the Baltic States and of the other captive nations to the attention of world opinion, through special radio programs and publications; and be it further
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1)	the President should request of all map publishers, both governmental and private, that on all maps of Europe published in the United States, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia be shown as independent states, with a footnote explaining that their military occupation and forced incorporation into the Soviet Union has never been recognized by the United States;
(2)	the right of self-determination should be returned to the peoples of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia through free elections conducted under the auspices of the United Nations; and
(3)	the right of self-determination of peoples should be made a prime political objective of the United Nations and should ultimately be accorded to all the captive peoples now subjugated by Soviet communism through free elections under United Nations auspices.

REPORT ON ALASKA EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompany papers, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
The White House, Washington, August 20,1965.
Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report of activity under authority of Public Law 88-451 which covers actions taken by five Federal departments and agencies to assist in the recovery of Alaska following the earthquake of March 27, 1964.
The act, entitled “1964 Amendments to the Alaska Omnibus Act,” was designed to speed additional aid to Alaska following the earthquake.
This report covers the period from January 1, through June 30, 1965. During the period covered in the report, more than $30 million in grants and loans were furnished Alaska under Public Law 88-451. During 12-month period since the amendments have been in force, $52 million have gone to Alaska. This assistance is only a fraction of the total recovery programs that the Federal Government has provided. Submission of this report to the Congress, as required by Public Law 88-451, also affords an opportunity to review briefly the total assistance to Alaska and its meaning to the State.
As of this date, more than $336 million in grants and loans have been made to the State, its communities and its people. Of this amount, nearly $163 million has been in the form of direct grants and still another $91 million in loans to individuals, business concerns, and other organizations. The remainder is for the repair of damaged Federal facilities in Alaska.
This means that $1,360 per citizen has gone to Alaska since the earthquake.
Today, Alaska has substantially recovered from the earthquake. Scars remain, but the worst effects have been overcome by the stamina, courage, and resources of Alaska’s people aided by speedy and significant Federal assistance of many kinds.
Repairs to Alaska’s highways are virtually complete. Damage to airports has been repaired. The Alaska Railroad is running again on a full schedule and with new equipment. Most schools have been repaired or rebuilt. Docks and harbors are being repaired and expanded to meet the growing needs of the populace. Lifeblood industries have fully
recovered from the devastating blow. The fishing industry was put back on its feet at such a rapid rate that it was able to increase its catch by 100 million pounds during 1964, for an increased value of $11,600,000.
The per capita income of the Alaskan citizen has increased from $2,850 at the time of the earthquake to $3,154 today, an increase of 11 percent.
At no time in recent years has an individual State suffered such a catastrophe and at not time was a such a massive and effective program of Federal assistance carried out. It is a tribute to the individual citizens of Alaska, to the Congress, and to the thousands of State and Federal personnel who worked tirelessly in the hours and months that followed this tragedy.
The future of Alaska is one of great potential and immediate fulfillment The damage and dislocation left by the erathquake are gone and the destiny of our 49th State is once again bright with promise.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

To carry out such purpose, and in recognition of the increasing importance of housing and urban development in our national life, the Congress finds that establishment of an executive department is desirable to achieve the best administration of the principal programs of the Federal Government which provides assistance for housing and for the development of the Nation’s communities; to assist the President in achieving maximum coordination of the various Federal activities which have a major effect upon urban community, suburban, or metropolitan development; to encourage the solution of problems of housing, urban dvelopment, and mass transportation through State, county, town, village, or other local and private action, including promotion of interstate, regional, and metropolitan cooperation; to encourage the maximum contributions that may be made by vigorous private homebuilding and mortgage lending industries to housing, urban development, and the national economy; and to provide for full and appropriate consideration, at the national level, of the needs and interests of the Nation’s communities and of the people who live and work in them.

PROPOSED STUDY OF EXPANSION OF ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
Mr. HARTKE, by unanimous consent (for himself, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Moss, Mr. Young of Ohio, Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Yarborough, Mr. Clark, Mr. Douglas, and Mr. Williams of New Jersey, submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 142); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations :
Whereas United States prosperity and economic growth depends upon a soundly growing free world economy based, in turn, upon a stable international monetary system;
Whereas the present international monetary system, known as the gold exchange standard, is founded upon the United States dollar’s role as the number 1 international reserve currency and the number 1 medium for the international exchange of goods, services, and capital;
Whereas expanding free world trade and continuing free world prosperity depend upon an adequate and growing supply of international liquidity, of which the United States dollar is a key component;
Whereas chronic United States balance-of-payments deficits have raised questions with regard to the role of the United States dollar as a stable store of value and medium of exchange and, thereby, have called forth the President’s emergency balance-of-payments program which has successfully restrained the outflow of dollars and produced a balance-of-payments surplus in the second quarter of 1965:
Whereas the elimination of the United States balance-of-payments deficit, by removing a critical, annual increment to the free world’s supply of liquidity, threaten the continued growth of free world trade and the continued maintenance of free world prosperity;
Whereas long-term international financial stability requires internationalization of the burden of financing world trade which the dollar and the British pound now bear largely alone; and
Whereas the International Monetary Fund exists as an internationally accepted institution dedicated to the elimination of international monetary disturbances, with the potential for expansion to meet the changing needs of the Free World economy: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the President is respectfully requested to cause an immediate joint study to be undertaken by the appropriate agencies of the Government, including the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, the Department of the Treasury, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to determine the feasibility of proposing the expansion of the International Monetary Fund’s role to include the issuance of trade credits and banker’s acceptances
to the designated banking institutions of the member nations of the International Monetary Fund against the shipment of goods in international trade; the supply of such credits to be equal to an internationally determined multiple of an internationally determined subscription of gold to the account of the International Monetary Fund by the member nations, apportioned according to the recent allocation of quotas.

JOINT CANADA-U.S. STUDY OF DIVERSION OF SURPLUS ARCTIC WATER
Mr. MOSS submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 55); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas there is a drought which has created a water shortage of unprecedented proportions for the City of New York, and has created serious water problems for the States of New York and Pennsylvania and the entire northeastern regions of the United States;
Whereas most of the Nation’s rivers are contaminated with human sewage and industrial wastes;
Whereas the water supply for large areas of western Canada and Western United States is inadequate to provide for present and future needs;
Whereas the Congress has enacted the Water Resources Planning Act, under which river basin planning authorities will be established, and through which maximum development of existing resources within basins will be achieved;
Whereas more water is necessary to solve the Nation’s problems of water supply and pollution abatement;
Whereas large quantities of Arctic water flow unused into the sea;
Whereas it has been proposed that the nations of Canada and the United States consider diversion of the surplus portions of this water to meet the needs of water-short areas in Canada and the United States;
Whereas water problems of mutual interest to Canada and the United States have previously been referred to the International Joint Commission;
Whereas the International Joint Commission is now considering the crisis arising from lowered water levels of the Great Lakes; and
Whereas the diversion of surplus Arctic water could make a major contribution to the solution of the water problems of the Great Lakes as well as those of other areas of Canada and the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1)	the President of the United States should refer the matter of the diversion of surplus Arctic water to the International Joint Commission with the request that an economic and engineering feasibility study be made and that the respective governments be informed of the results of such study by December 31,1966; and

The Senate resumed the consideration of its unfinished business, viz, the bill (H.R. 3157) to amend the Railroad Retirement Act of 1937 to eliminate the provisions which reduce the annuities of the spouses of retired employees by the amount of certain monthly benefits.
The question being on agreeing to the reported amendment,
Mr. LONG of Louisiana raised a point of order that certain language in the reported amendment related to the raising of revenue, which should originate in the House of Representatives, and was therefore unconstitutional.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Jordan of Idaho in the chair) made the following statement:
“Under the uniform practices of the Senate for more than 100 years, the Chair has no authority to pass upon points of order as to the constitutionality of a proposal. Those are questions for the Senate to determine. Therefore, the Chair submits to the Senate the question whether or not, under the Constitution, the Senate has a right to consider this amendment or whether the point of order is well taken. The question, of course, is debatable.”
Pending debate,
On motion by Mr. Pell, and by unanimous consent,
Ordered, That during the consideration of the pending bill, Mr. David Schrieber and Mr. Charles McLaughlin, of the Office of the General Counsel of the Railroad Retirement Board, be granted the privilege of the floor.

Mr. JAVITS, by unanimous consent (for himself and Mr. Carlson) , submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 56); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas recent events in the Dominican Republic have suggested the desirability of strengthening the inter-Amer-ican system to facilitate the taking of prompt and effective multilateral action when required to maintain the peace, security, and freedom of the Americas; and
Whereas a prime objective of the Organization of American States and of the United States is to strengthen freedom in the Americas by upholding the right of the people to self-determination and by encouraging confidence in and respect for constitutional and democratic governments, and to foster conditions to insure against subversion and infiltration by the forces of international com-munim or ultrarightist forces which pose a constant danger to the freedom of the people of the Americans; and
Whereas the Organization of American States and the United States are committed to accelerated economic development and social progress in the Americas, as the right road toward freedom, dignity, security, and peace for all the people of the Americas, and to prevent infiltration or subversion by Communist or ultra-rightist forces: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
1.	The United States again pledges its faith in the oldest of the regional security systems established in accordance with the United Nations Charter, the collective security system of the Americas under the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance and the Charter of the Organization of American States, and again pledges its efforts to preserve and strengthen free democratic institutions and to encourage and contribute to accelerated economic development and social progress in the Americas, as set
forth in the Act of Bogota of 1960 and the Charter of Punta del Este of 1961.
2.	The United States, while continuing to reserve the inherent right of self-defense, consonant with its treaty obligations under the inter-American system and the United Nations Charter, joins in the determination of the member states of the Organization of American States to maintain a common defense against aggression and subversion within the Americas, including efforts to subvert free institutions by infiltration and other forms of interference in the internal affairs of any nation in the Americas.
3.	The United States should seek to improve the authority and capability of the Organization of American States to take timely action in emergencies affecting the peace and security of any nation in the Americas in accordance with the requirements of a common defense set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Resolution, by standing ready to support and assist in the establishment of means to undertake peacekeeping efforts under the auspices of the Organization of American States, and by such other procedures as the President may deem appropriate, consonant with the Constitution, the inter-American system, and the United Nations Charter.
4.	The United States should encourage and support collective consultation among the members of the inter-American system and with Canada with a view to refraining from the establishment of diplomatic relations with, and denying military and economic aid to, any regime brought into power in a member state by the unconstitutional overthrow of a freely-elected, constitutional, democratic government ruling in accordance with its constitutional mandate, and to requiring, as a precondition to the establishment of diplomatic relations and the extension of military and economic aid, prior commitments for the restoration of constitutional government, for the holding of free elections, and for the application of human and civil rights and liberties, within a reasonable time, and a sincere dedication to accelerated economic development and social progress within the framework of personal dignity and political liberty; and should encourage and support other common efforts to strengthen constitutional, democratic, and progressive government in the Americas.
5.	The United States should continue its active support of the Alliance for Progress with emphasis on self-help and mutual cooperation; economic integration of the Americas through common markets, free trade areas, or other appropriate means; the encouragement of other developed nations to maintain an appropriate level of development aid in the Americas; and the encouragement of the growth of the private enterprise system and of conditions to enhance its capability for accelerating economic development and social progress in the Americas.

The question being on agreeing to the amendment yesterday proposed by Mr. Talmadge (for himself and others) (No. 432) to the reported amendment, striking out pages 104 through 106, inclusive, as follows:
“TITLE VI—COTTON
“Sec. 601. Section 103(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended, effective beginning with the 1966 crop, to read as follows:
“‘(b) If producers have not disapproved marketing quotas, the Secretary shall provide additional price support on each of the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton to cooperators on whose farms the acreage planted to upland cotton for harvest does not exceed the farm domestic allotment established under section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended. For the 1966 crop such additional support shall be 25 per centum of the basic level of support established under subsection (a). For the 1967 and subsequent crops, such additional support shall be at such level, not less than 20
per centum and not in excess of 40 per centum of the basic level of support established under subsection (a), as the Secretary deems necessary to provide for an orderly reduction in supplies of cotton to a reasonable level. Such additional support shall be provided on the projected yield of the acreage planted for harvest within the farm domestic allotment.’
“Sec. 602. (a) The first sentence of section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended to read as follows: ‘In order to provide producers with a choice program of reduced acreage and higher price support, the Secretary shall establish for each farm for each of the 1964 through 1969 crops of upland cotton a farm domestic allotment in acres.’
“(b) The second proviso of the second sentence of such section (which provides for a minimum domestic allotment) is amended, effective beginning with the 1966 crop, by striking out ‘15 acres’ and inserting TO acres’.
“(c) The next to last sentence of such section is amended, effective beginning with the 1966 crop, by changing the period at the end thereof to a colon and adding the following: ‘Provided, That the national domestic acreage allotment shall not be less than 65 per centum of the national acreage allotment.’

“Sec. 604. Section 203 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: ‘Effective for the period beginning August 1, 1966, and ending July 31, 1970, the prices at which cotton is made available in accordance with the requirements of this section shall not be announced in advance of any agreement to make such cotton available; but the price at which any cotton is sold for export, and the amount of any payment made to assist in the exportation of any cotton, by the Commodity Credit Corporation shall be fixed as each bid or offer to purchase cotton, or to export cotton with the aid of a payment by the Commodity Credit Corporation, is accepted. If the Commodity Credit Corporation shall at any time reject a bid or offer to purchase cotton for export at the maximum price prescribed by this section, or to export cotton in consideration of a payment which would make
cotton available for export at the maximum price prescribed by this section, as determined on the basis of the most recent quotations from Liverpool, Bremen, or Osaka available at the time such bid or offer is rejected, the Secretary of Agriculture shall within thirty days after such rejection report such fact to the Congress setting out in full the reasons therefor.’
and inserting in lieu thereof the following :
TITLE VI—COTTON

(1)	Section 348 of the Act is amended by adding the following new sentences at the end thereof: “The Secretary may extend the period for performance of obligations incurred in connection with payments made for the period ending July 31, 1966, or may make payments on raw cotton in inventory on July 31,1966, at the rate in effect on such date. No payments shall be made hereunder with respect to the 1966 crop cotton.”
(2)	Section 346 of the Act is amended by adding at the end thereof a new subsection as follows:
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 69 crops of upland cotton, if the farm operator elects to forego price support for any such crop of cotton by planting an acreage not exceeding 50 per centum in excess of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344, all cotton of such crop produced on the farm may be marketed free of any penalty under this section: Provided, That the foregoing shall be applicable only to farms for which farm acreage allotments were established for 1965 and the farm operator for the current year was the operator of such farm for 1965 or has acquired such farm by inheritance from the operator since such year. The operator of any farm who elects to forego price support for any such year under this subsection shall not be eligible for price support on cotton on any other farm in which he has a controlling or substantial interest as determined by the Secretary. Acreage planted to cotton in excess of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 shall not be taken into account in establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments.
(3)	Section 350 of the Act is amended, effective with the 1966 crop, to read as follows:
“Sec. 350. In order to afford producers an opportunity to participate in a program of reduced acreage and higher price support, as provided in section 103 (d) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, the Secretary shall determine a national domestic allotment for the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton equal to the estimated domestic consumption of upland cotton (standard bales of four hundred and eighty pounds net weight) for the marketing year beginning in the year in which the crop is to be produced. The Secretary shall determine a farm
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
781
domestic acreage allotment percentage for each such year by dividing (1) the national domestic allotment (in net weight pounds) by (2) the total for all States of the product of the State acreage allotment and the projected State yield. The farm domestic acreage allotment shall be established by multiplying the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 by the farm domestic acreage allotment percentage: Provided, That no farm domestic acreage allotment shall be less than 65 per centum of such farm acreage allotment: Provided further, That, except for farms the acreage allotments of which are reduced under section 344 by the farm domestic allotment shall not be less than the smaller of ten acres or the farm acreage allotment established under section 344. Such national domestic allotment shall be determined not later than October 15 of the calendar year preceding the year in which the crop is to be produced.”
Sec. 602. Section 103 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subsection at the end thereof:
“(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if producers have not disapproved marketing quotas, price support shall be made available for the 1966,1967,1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton as provided in this subsection.
“(2) Price support for each such crop of upland cotton shall be made available to cooperators through loans at such level, not exceeding 90 per centum of the estimated average world market price for Middling one-inch upland cotton at average location in the United States for the marketing year for such crop, as the Secretary determines will provide orderly marketing of cotton during the harvest season and will retain an adequate share of the world market for cotton produced in the United States taking into consideration the factors specified in section 401(b) of this Act: Provided, That the national average loan rate for the 1966 crop shall reflect 21 cents per pound for Middling one-inch upland cotton.
“(3) The Secretary shall provide additional price support for each such crop through payments in cash or in kind to cooperators at a rate not less than nine cents per pound: Provided, That the total of the national average loan rate for any crop under paragraph (2) and the rate at which payments are made under this paragraph shall not be less than 65 per centum nor more than 90 per centum of the parity price for cotton. Such payments shall be made on the quantity of icotton determined by multiplying the projected farm yield by the acreage planted to cotton within the farm domestic acreage allotment: Provided, That any such farm planting not less than 90 per centum of such domestic acreage allotment shall be deemed to have planted the entire amount of such allotment.
“(4) The Secretary shall also make price support payments in cash or in kind in addition to the payments authorized in paragraph (3) to cooperators who reduce their cotton acreage by diverting a portion of their cotton acreage
allotment from the production of cotton to approved conservation practices to the extent prescribed by the Secretary: Provided, That the total reduction in such cotton acreage shall not exceed 35 per centum of the farm acreage allotment but no reduction shall be required on small farms with minimum domestic acreage allotments under section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended. The rate of payment under this paragraph shall be such rate as the Secretary determines to be fair and reasonable, but shall not be less than 50 per centum of the national average loan rate established under paragraph (2). Such payment shall be made on a quantity of cotton determined by multiplying the acreage diverted from the production of cotton by the projected farm yield, except that payment to small farms with minimum domestic acreage allotments under section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, shall be made on a quantity of cotton determined by multiplying an acreage equal to 35 per centum of such farm domestic acreage allotment by the projected farm yield.
“(5) The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of the payments under this subsection to producers in advance of determination of performance and the balance of such payments shall be made as soon after determination of performance as practicable.
“(6) Where the farm operator elects to participate in the acreage reduction program authorized in this subsection and no acreage is planted to cotton on the farm, price support payments for the 1966 crop shall be made at a rate equal to 50 per centum of the national average loan rate established under paragraph (2) on the quantity of cotton determined by multiplying 15 per centum of the farm acreage allotment by the projected farm yield, and the remainder of such allotment may be released under the provisions of section 344(m) (2) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended: Provided, That for the 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops such rate of payment shall be that which the Secretary determines to be comparable to the rate of payment under paragraph (4). The acreage on which payment is made under this paragraph shall be regarded as planted to cotton for purposes of establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments and farm bases.
“(7) Payments in kind under this subsection shall be made through the issuance of certificates which the Commodity Credit Corporation shall redeem for cotton under regulations issued by the Secretary at a value per pound equal to not less than the current loan rate therefor. The Corporation may, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, assist the producers in the marketing of such certificates at such times and in such manner as the Secretary determines will best effectuate the purposes of the program authorized by this subsection.
“(8) Payments under paragraphs (4) and (6) of this subsection shall be conditioned on the farm having an acre
age of approved conservation uses equal to the sum of (i) the reduction in cotton acreage required to qualify for payments under paragraph (4) or the acreage with respect to which payments are made under paragraph (6), as the case may be, and (ii) the average acreage of cropland on the farm devoted to designated soilconserving crops or practices, including summer fallow and idle land, during a base period prescribed by the Secretary: Provided, That the Secretary may permit all or any part of such reduced acreage to be devoted to the production of guar, seasame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, and flax, if he determines that such production is necessary to provide an adequate supply of such commodities, is not likely to increase the cost of the price support program, and will not adversely affect farm income.
“(9) The acreage regarded as planted to cotton on any farm which qualifies for payment under paragraph (4) of this subsection shall, for purposes of establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments and farm bases, be the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 of the Agriculturel Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, excluding adjustments under subsection (m) (2) thereof.
“(10) The Secretary shall provide adequate safeguards to protect the interests of tenants and sharecroppers, including provision for sharing on a fair and equitable basis in price support under this subsection.
“(11) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the amount of price-support payments made with respect to any farm may be adjusted for failure to comply fully with the terms and conditions of the program formulated pursuant to this subsection.
“(12) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if as a result of limitations hereafter enacted with respect to price support under this subsection, the Secretary is unable to make available to all cooperators the full amount of combined price support to which they would otherwise be entitled under paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection for any crop of upland cotton, (A) price support to cooperators shall be made available for such crop (if marketing quotas have not been disapproved) through loans or purchases at such level not less than 65 per centum nor more than 90 per centum of the parity price therefor as the Secretary determines appropriate; (B) in order to keep upland cotton to the maximum extent practicable in the normal channels of trade, such price support may be carried out through the simultaneous purchase of cotton at the support price therefor and resale at a lower price or through loans under which the cotton would be redeemable by payment of a price therefor lower than the amount of the loan thereon; and (C) such resale or redemption price shall be such as the Secretary determines will provide orderly marketing of cotton during the harvest season and will retain an adequate share

of the world market for cotton produced in the United States.
“(13) An acreage on a farm in any such year which the Secretary finds was not planted to cotton because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster shall be deemed to be planted to cotton for purposes of payments under this subsection if such acreage is not subsequently devoted to any price-supported crop in such year.
“(14) Section 408(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by changing the period at the end of the first sentence thereof to a colon and adding the following: ‘Provided, That for upland cotton a cooperator shall be a producer on whose farm the acreage planted to such cotton for the 1966 crop does not exceed 90 per centum of such farm acreage allotment and for the 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops do not exceed such percentage, not less than 90 or more than 100 per centum, of such farm acreage allotment as the Secretary may determine, except that this proviso shall not apply to any farm receiving a minimum farm domestic acreage allotment under section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended.’
“(15) The provisions of subsection 8(g) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended (relating to assignment of payments) shall also apply to payments under this subsection.”
Sec. 603. Section 301 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subparagraphs to paragraph (13) of subsection (b):
“(L) ‘Projected National, State, and county yields’ for any crop of cotton shall be determined on the basis of the yield per harvested acre of such crop in the United States, the State and the county, respectively, during each of the five calendar years immediately preceding the year in which such projected yield for the United States, the State, and the county, respectively, is determined, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions affecting such yield, for trends in yields, and for any significant changes in production practices.
“(M) ‘Projected farm yield’ for any crop of cotton shall be determined on the basis of the yield per harvested acre of such crop on the farm during each of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year in which such projected farm yield is determined, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions affecting such yield, for trends in yields, and for any significant changes in production practices, but in no event shall such projected farm yield be less than the normal yield for such farm as provided in subparagraph (I) of this paragraph.”
Sec. 604. Section 407 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: “Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for the period August 1,1966, through July 31,1970, (1) the Commodity Credit Corporation shall sell upland cotton for unrestricted use at
the same prices as it sells cotton for export, in no event, however, at less than 110 per centum of the loan rate, and (2) the Commodity Credit Corporation shall sell or make available for unrestricted use at current market prices in each marketing year a quantity of upland cotton equal to the amount by which the production of upland cotton is less than the estimated requirements for domestic use and for export for such marketing year. The Secretary may make such estimates and adjustments therein at such times as he determines will best effectuate the provisions of part (2) of the foregoing sentence and such quantities of cotton as are required to be sold under such sentence shall be offered for sale in an orderly manner and so as not to affect market prices unduly.”

“(H) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, providing:
“(i) for allocating, or providing a method for allocating, to each producer under a marketing order, a share of the total sales of milk received from producers classified in, and subject to the minimum price or prices applicable to, the highest use classification or classifications under the marketing order and such reserves of producer milk as may be found essential thereto, which share shall be determined on the basis of total deliveries of milk made by each such producer during the year 1964, or such other representative period as the Secretary may prescribe in the order as more appropriate, due allowance being made in the provisions of the order for (a) abnormal conditions, (b) hardship cases, and (c) producers under the order engaged in milk production at the time provisions hereunder are incorporated in the order but who did not produce milk during all or part of the representative period. Dairy farmers who were producing and marketing milk prior to the date when provisions hereunder were incorporated in the order and who were not on such date delivering milk as producers under the order shall upon becoming producers under the order be provided, with respect to milk delivered under the order, allocations on the same basis as those who were producers under the order when such provisions become effective: Provided, That if any dairy farm of such a dairy farmer has been transferred to another person and no allocation based on deliveries from such farm has been issued when milk is first delivered therefrom as producer milk under the order, such transferee then operating the farm shall be provided any allocation for which the said dairy farmer would otherwise have been eligible based on deliveries from such farm. Provisions shall also be made for allocating to any new producer under an order who was not engaged in dairy farming prior to the incorporation in the order of provisions hereunder an equitable share of the allocated sales on such terms and conditions as prescribed in the order, due consideration being given to the current and prospective supply conditions in the regulated market. The application of
allocations hereunder shall be subject to such provisions as may be incorporated in the order under section 8c (5) (D). Allocations to producers under this subparagraph may be transferable under an order on such terms and conditions as may be prescribed if the Secretary of Agriculture determines that transfer ability will be in the best interest of the public, existing producers, and prospective new producers. The allocations or bases hereunder may be adjusted from time to time or new allocations or bases may be established by amending the order or under provisions incorporated in the order;
“(i) that in distributing to producers the amounts of money required to be paid by handlers on milk each producer shall be paid (1) for milk delivered by him which exceeds his allocation at the lowest class price specified in the order and (2) for milk delivered by him within his allocation a blend price, based on utilization in such higher class uses plus reserve, representing his pro rata share of the remaining funds available for current distribution to producers under the order, after the computation has been made under (1) hereof. The payments under (1) and (2) above shall be subject to adjustments prescribed in the order under section 8(c)(5)(B) or other provisions of the Act and to such provisions as may be incorporated in the order under section 8c(5) (D);
“(iii) in marketing orders where individual handler pools are approved as provided by subparagraph 8c(5) (B) (i) the provisions of this subparagraph may be applied to each handler individually and to producers delivering milk to such handlers;
“(iv) in the case of any producer who during any accounting period delivers a portion of his milk to persons not fully regulated by the order, provision may be made for reducing the allocation of, or payments to be received by, any such producer to compensate for any marketings of milk to such other persons for such period or periods as necessary to insure equitable participation in marketings among all producers.
“ (v) the order may provide for such reports and the keeping of such books and records by producers and by the person or persons to whom he may dispose of milk as the Secretary may prescribe and upon request of the Secretary such person or persons shall make required records available for inspection;
“(vi) the provisions authorized under this subparagraph may be made applicable to a regulated handler’s own production of milk:
“(vii) order provisions under this subparagraph shall not become effective in any marketing order unless separately approved by producers in the same manner provided for the approval of marketing orders. Disapproval of order provisions under this

subparagraph shall not be considered disapproval of the order or of other terms of the order. Order provisions under this subparagraph may be terminated separately whenever the Secretary makes the determination with respect to such provisions as is provided for the termination of an order in section 8c (16) (B);
“(viii) Any producer for whom an allocation or base is established under the authority of this subparagraph may obtain a review thereof as prescribed by the order and rules and regulations thereunder, which shall constitute the exclusive procedure for review thereof and section 8 c (15) (A) of this title shall not apply thereto. Under such order, rules, or regulations any officers or employees of the Department or any committees or boards of producers under the order created for the purpose may be vested with authority to perform any or all functions in connection with such review proceedings, including ruling thereon. Committees or boards created for this purpose shall be deemed agencies of the Secretary within the meaning of subsection 8c (7) (C) and section 10 of this title. The ruling upon such review shal be final if in accordance with law. The producer may obtain a judicial review of such ruling in accordance with the provisions of section 8c (15) (B) of this title; and
“(ix) the provisions of section 8a (5) shall not apply to any producer in the application of this subparagraph or regulations issued pursuant thereto.”

VISIT TO THE SENATE BY ASTRONAUTS LT.
COL. L. GORDON COOPER AND COMDR. CHARLES CONRAD, JR.
Mr. MANSFIELD announced that Astronauts Lt. Col. Gordon Cooper and Comdr. Charles Conrad, Jr., and their wives were outside the Senate Chamber.
The VICE PRESIDENT appointed Mr. Mansfield, Mr. Dirksen, Mr. Long of Louisiana, and Mr. Kuchel to escort the astronauts and their party into the Chamber.
On motion by Mr. Mansfield, at 4 o’clock and 8 minutes p.m.,
The Senate, pursuant to a previous announcement, took a recess subject to the call of the Chair.
The committee escorted the distinguished guests to the rostrum, and the Vice President welcomed them, as follows:
“Members of the Senate, distinguished astronauts, members of the NASA organization. wives and families, today, our Capital City has been singularly honored by the presence of Lt. Col. L. Gordon Cooper, Comdr, Charles Conrad, Jr., and Dr. Charles Berry, three gentlemen who have been honored today by the President of the United States, who presented to them the NASA Medal for Exceptional Service.
“We are also greatly honored to have with us today Dr. Robert C. Seamans, Jr., Associate Director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
“Early today, the National Academy of Sciences was host for a presentation by these distinguished astronauts to scientists and engineers, as they described their 8-day orbital flight.
“Later this afternoon, the House of Representatives will receive them.
“I am sure that the Senate wishes to hear from them; and I now take the liberty to present, first, the command pilot, one who has been in outer space in flight time longer than any person in
the world, who has broken all records. He has been with us before, because his previous flight was for some 34 hours.
“I now present to the Senate, with great honor and privilege, Lt. Col. Gordon Cooper, astronaut.”
Colonel COOPER. “Mr. Vice President, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen, it is a rare privilege to be here again. I hope we can visit frequently. It is a rare honor. We appreciate it very much.
“Some 5 years ago, we were working very hard to see how many experiments we could put on board a manned space flight. That flight vzas to go a little over 100 miles in altitude and it was to last the sum total of 15 minutes. We made it.
“We conducted several experiments on board, and we proved several people wrong. We proved that man really could last for 15 minutes in space.
“As time went on, we moved the flights up to a little longer time, and still a little longer in time, and we got up to the orbital time of six orbits.
“Then I was fortunate enough to be able to make a flight of 22 orbits, about 28 months ago. At that time, I was privileged to appear here before many of you.
“I was hopeful at that time that I would be given the privilege of making another space flight in which I would have enough time to do many of the things that I ran out of time to do in that 34 hours.
“We finally made a flight in which we had enough time to do quite a number of things. The flight lasted a few minutes short of 8 full days, or 190 hours of flight time.
“The prime mission of the flight was to show that the man-machine combination could exist in space, that it could do a good job, and return in good shape for a period equal to that of a manned-stay lunar mission.
“We have proved that it can be done, that we have environmental control systems which will do the job, that man can remain in a healthy condition and be in a healthy condition when he returns to earth.
“Second, we were proving a great many systems on board, including our radar, including onboard computers, including a stable table, by which we could navigate, all of which are vitally necessary for the lunar mission. We have proved that these systems will work, that they are accurate and reliable, and that they do the job they are supposed to do.
“Third, we took along some 17 scientific experiments, some of which we did not quite complete. We completed the great majority of them by 100 percent. Several were 85 percent or more completed, and one we were unable to complete.
“We had some minor problems onboard. These were primarily concerned with the new and to a certain extent unknown cryogenics, oxygen and hydrogen systems which powered our fuel cells; also several complete new items which had never been flown before in this type of configuration. The fuel cells worked very well, the cryogenics power did not
work very well at first, but did work later after we determined that it would operate at a lower pressure than that designed. We managed by ‘catch as catch can,’ in some cases, while in drift in flight, to conduct most of the experiments.
“We learned a great deal.
“I felt many of the same things on this flight that I felt on previous flights.
“It was a great deal of pleasure to me, for instance, to observe the feelings of my fellow pilot, Pete Conrad, on many things of great beauty and significance encountered in space, and to observe his reaction as he noticed them for the first time.
“We found a great many new things we had not found in space before. We had plenty of time to do it, and a great deal more opportunity to do a great deal of data gathering than we had an opportunity to do before.
“I thank you very much for this privilege of appearing before you. I hope I shall have the privilege before very long again, when we have some later space flights.”
The VICE PRESIDENT. “The partner in Gemini 5, a gentleman who brought honor to himself, his family, and his country, just as did the command pilot, Colonel Cooper, is with us today. He is affectionately known as ‘Pete.’ So I introduce to you Comdr. ‘Pete’ Conrad.”
Commander CONRAD. “Mr. Vice President and Senators, it is a great pleasure to be here today. I mentioned at the press conference, after the flight was over, that the most significant scientific fact that I had noted was that after the flight was over, addressing a group such as this, my heart was at least 50 beats higher than it was at the time of the flight. However, I have my doctor here in case I get into trouble.
“ ‘Gordo’ has mentioned some of the things about the flight. In particular, it was my joy to see some of the interesting phenomena that we observed. I might mention a few of them to you. Probably for the first time, we observed meteorites entering. I do not remember any other flight reports that mentioned these. The meteorites entered below us. I had to stop to think about that for a minute. When it was said that we might see them, I realized we were going to fly high. I had completely forgotten that we were flying above the atmosphere and that would be the place where we saw the meteorites entering—below us. That was a beautiful sight.
“In scientific terms, we observed the aurora south of Australia, and many other interesting phenomena.
“We as test pilots are curious people, and I think we like answers to questions, as scientists do. I believe we have brought back some useful data. As I said in the House of Representatives, I have had 11 days of rest and debriefing and 11 days of good sleep, and I am ready to fly again.”
The VICE PRESIDENT. “While Dr. Berry was not in the space capsule, he operated a good deal of equipment in the space capsule that was attached to these two great astronauts. This noon, as I listened to Dr. Berry explain the medical

findings of this flight, I noticed Colonel Cooper and Commander Conrad squirm and twitch as they thought about the little gadgets that were hooked onto them for the purpose of pleasing this doctor. But we are very proud of Dr. Berry. I want him to take a bow and say a few words to the U.S. Senate.”
Dr. BERRY. “I am very glad that I am not censored at the moment, myself, because I am sure my heart rate would be better than 200 right now. I had no idea, Mr. Vice President, when we talked about coming in earlier to your office that it would be this way.
“We are conducting a program such as this, of course, to make man a vital part of such a research effort and to show the facility that man has to gain scientific information, using vehicles such as we are able to build in this country.
“ ‘Pete’ and Gordon have shown remarkable ability to utilize these vehicles to the fullest extent. Our job is to try to see that they always remain in good condition to perform that particular function.
“I think I can report, so far as information has been obtained in this country to date and at the moment, that we are the only ones who have that sort of information for the duration of which we are speaking. We can confidently say that man has been able to perform very well up to 4 days in a weightless state earlier, and on this mission 8 days in a weightless state. He has then been able to readapt back to a 1-G environment. We have living proof of that.”
The VICE PRESIDENT. “Lest fear and trepidation come to the hearts of the male Members of the Senate, I want you to know that the three ladies in the front row are not as yet Senators, but I think Senator Smith has been talking to them about that possibility.
“May I, therefore, on behalf of the Senate, present to the Senate and to our fellow Americans three ladies with us today, Trudy Cooper, or Mrs. Cooper; Jane, or Mrs. Conrad; and Mrs. Berry.
“May I present to my colleagues the members of the families who are in the diplomatic galleries—the Cooper family, the Conrad family, and the Berry family. I believe, Bob Seemans, there must be some of your family up there. I know that Commander Conrad’s mother is there.
“Is Mrs. Conrad there?”
(Mrs. Conrad stood in the diplomatic gallery.)
The VICE PRESIDENT. “I know also that three of the Berry children are here. Will they stand ? ”
(The three Berry children stood in the diplomatic gallery.)
The VICE PRESIDENT. “I understood that the two daughters of Colonel and Mrs. Cooper are present. Will they stand?”
(The two daughters of Colonel and Mrs. Cooper stood in the diplomatic gallery.)
The VICE PRESIDENT. “I must inform the Senate that the four junior astronauts of the Conrad family whom we met earlier today are drifting about as though in orbit. They are not in orbit right now; they are drifting, and
apparently they are not with us. They are at the zoo. But we had them with us. To show you their intellectual attainment, they were at the National Academy of Science earlier today.
“We are very honored to have you with us today, gentlemen. Your achievements, while they are great personal honors to you, and indeed, to our Nation, are also great personal honors to your respective families.
“Our space program is a team enterprise—Government, industry, science, universities, skilled workers, astronauts, Department of Defense, NASA.
“It sets a good example for the whole country. I am pleased to find a principle of excellence and performance. What better principle could we have than the living manifestation of excellence and performance in our two astronauts, Commander Conrad and Colonel Cooper?
“Welcome to the U.S. Senate.”
The VICE PRESIDENT. “I am sure that Senators will want to greet our guests.”
Following the conclusion of the remarks, the Astronauts were greeted by Members of the Senate, and were escorted from the Chamber by the committee.
AT 4 O’CLOCK AND 41 MINUTES P.M.

Whereas the Congress and the citizens of the District of Columbia are sorely saddened by the tragic and untimely passing of one of the District’s most dedicated and resourceful friends, the distinguished Senator from South Dakota, Francis Case; and
Whereas during his long and distinguished career in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate, Francis Case was known and respected for his courage and untiring devotion to duty, and was loved for his sincerity, modesty, and understanding; and
Whereas he attained enviable stature and esteem for his constant cooperation, his wise counsel, and his broad comprehension of planning and development in the District of Columbia; and
Whereas Francis Case was an architect of the twenty-third amendment to the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing residents of the District of Columbia the right to vote for electors for President and Vice President; and
Whereas during his years of service Francis Case sponsored many measures for improvements in the District of Columbia and served as chairman of the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia in 1953 and 1954; and

Whereas, after having served on the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia through the years 1951 to 1954, Francis Case returned voluntarily to the

The provisions of section 2 of Reorganization Plan Numbered 1 of 1953 (67 Stat. 631) shall be applicable to such additional Assistant Secretary to the same extent as they are applicable to the Assistant Secretaries authorized by that section. Paragraph (17) of section 303(d) of the Federal Executive Salary Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 418) is amended by striking out “ (5)” before the period at the end thereof and inserting in lieu thereof “(6) ”.
Sec. 2. (a) Such Act is further amended by redesignating sections 2 through 4, and references thereto, as sections 3 through 5, respectively, sections 5 through 14, as sections 7 through 16, respectively, by inserting after section 1 the following new section:
“Federal Water Pollution Control Administration
“Sec. 2. Effective ninety days after the date of enactment of this section there is created within the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare a Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ‘Administration’. The head of the Administration shall be appointed, and his compensation fixed, by the Secretary. The head of the Administration may, in addition to regular staff of the Administration, which shall be initially provided from the personnel of the Department, obtain, from within the Department or otherwise as authorized by law, such professional, technical, and clerical assistance as may be necessary to discharge the Administration’s functions and may for that purpose use funds available for carrying out such functions; and he may delegate any of his functions to, or otherwise authorize their performance by, any officer or employee of, or assigned or detailed to, the Administration.”
(b)	Subject to such requirements as the Civil Service Commission may prescribe, any commissioned officer of the Public Health Service who, on the day before the effective date of the establishment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration, was, as such officer, performing functions relating to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act may acquire competitive civil service status and be transferred to a classified position in the Administration if he so transfers within six months (or such further period as the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare may find necessary in individual cases) after such effective date. No commissioned officer of the Public Health Service may be transferred to the Administration under this section if he does not consent to such transfer. As used in this section, the term “transferring officer” means an officer transferred in accordance with this subsection.
(c)	(1) The Secretary shall deposit in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the civil service retirement and disability fund, on behalf of and to the
credit of each transferring officer, an amount equal to that which such individual would be required to deposit in such fund to cover the years of service credited to him for purposes of his retirement as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service to the date of his transfer as provided in subsection (b), but only to the extent that such service is otherwise creditable under the Civil Service Retirement Act. The amount so required to be deposited with respect to any transferring officer shall be computed on the basis of the sum of his basic pay, allowance for quarters, and allowance for subsistence and, in the case of a medical officer, his special pay, during the years of service so creditable, including all such years after June 30, 1960.
(2) The deposits which the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare is required to make under this subsection with respect to any transferring officer shall be made ivithin two years after the date of his transfer as provided in subsection (b), and the amounts due under this subsection shall include interest computed from the period of service credited to the date of payment in accordance with section 4(e) of the Civil Service Retirement Act (5 U.S.C. 2254(e)).
(d)	All past service of a transferring officer as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service shall be considered as civilian service for all purposes under the Civil Service Retirement Act, effective as of the date any such transferring officer acquires civil service status as an employee of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration; however, no transferring officer may become entitled to benefits under both the Civil Service Retirement Act and title II of the Social Security Act based on service as such a commissioned officer performed after 1956, but the individual (or his survivors) may irrevocably elect to waive benefit credit for the service under one Act to secure credit under the other.
(e)	A transferring officer on whose behalf a deposit is required to be made by subsection (c) and who, after transfer to a classified position in the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration under subsection (b), is separated from Federal service or transfers to a position not covered by the Civil Service Retirement Act, shall not be entitled, nor shall his survivors be entitled, to a refund of any amount deposited on his behalf in accordance with this section. In the event he transfers, after transfer under subsection (b), to a position covered by another Government staff retirement system under which credit is allowable for service with respect to which a deposit is required under subsection (c), no credit shall be allowed under the Civil Service Retirement Act which respect to such service.
(f)	Each transferring officer who prior to January 1,1957, was insured pursuant to the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Act of 1954, and who subsequently waived such insurance, shall be entitled to become insured under such Act upon his transfer to the Federal
Water Pollution Control Administration regardless of age and insurability.
(g)	Any commissioned officer of the Public Health Service who, pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, is transferred to a position in the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration which is subject to the Classification Act of 1949, as amended, shall receive a salary rate of the General Schedule grade of such position which is nearest to but not less than the sum of (1) basic pay, quarters and subsistence allowances, and, in the case of a medical officer, special pay, to which he was entitled as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service on the day immediately preceding his transfer, and (2) an amount equal to the equalization factor (as defined in this subsection); but in no event shall the rate so established exceed the maximum rate of such grade. As used in this section, the term “equalization factor” means an amount determined by the Secretary to be equal to the sum of (A) 6Y2 per centum of such basic pay and (B) the amount of Federal income tax which the transferring officer, had he remained a commissioned officer, would have been required to pay on such allowances for quarters and subsistence for the taxable year then current if they had not been tax free.
(h)	A transferring officer who has had one or more years of commissioned service in the Public Health Service immediately prior to his transfer under subsection (b) shall, on the date of such transfer, be credited with thirteen days of sick leave.
(i)	Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, any commissioned officer of the United States Public Health Service with twenty-five or more years of service who has held the temporary rank of Assistant Surgeon General in the Division of Water Supply and Pollution Control of the United States Public Health Service for three or more years and whose position and duties are affected by this Act, may, with the approval of the President, voluntarily retire from the United States Public Health Service with the same retirement benefits that would accrue to him if he had held the rank of Assistant Surgeon General for a period of four years or more if he so retires within ninety days of the date of the establishment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration.
(j)	Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to restrict or in any way limit the head of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration in matters of organization or in otherwise carrying out his duties under section 2 of this Act as he deems appropriate to the discharge of the functions of such Administration.
(k)	The Surgeon General shall be consulted by the head of the Administration on the public health aspects relating to water pollution over which the head of such Administration has administrative responsibility.
Sec. 3. Such Act is further amended by inserting after the section redesignated as section 5 a new section as follows:

PROPOSED STUDY OF IMPORTS OF STEEL MILL PRODUCTS
Mr. Hartke (for himself and Mr. Allott, Mr. Bayh, Mr. Brewster, Mr. Boggs, Mr. Clark, Mr. Gruening, Mr. Long of Missouri, Mr. Moss, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Yarborough) submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 149); which was referred to the Committee on Finance:
Whereas imports of foreign steel mill products have increased from 3,163,233 tons in 1961 to 6,493,508 tons in 1964 and are currently running at an annual rate of nearly 10,000,000 tons;
Whereas with the exception of Canada, South America, Sweden, and Australia, all foreign suppliers of steel mill products have increased their shipments, at annual rates, to the United States during the first half of 1965 over the rates recorded in 1964;
Whereas in the first six months of 1965, steel mill product imports from France, Italy, and the Netherlands actually exceeded imports of steel mill products from these nations for the entire twelve months of 1964;
Whereas at current steel prices and at the current annual rate of steel mill product imports, such imports will amount to a drain on the United States balance of payments of more than $1.25 billion in 1965;
Whereas, economic contraction and rising unemployment in Great Britain and France threaten to divert increasing quantities of steel mill products to the United States at prices below United States market prices; and
Whereas, despite the increasing profits of the steel industry of the United States during the current year the rapid increases in both the absolute volume and the rate of increase of imports of steel mill products will, if present trends continue, pose a serious threat to the profitability of the steel industry and to the employment, income, and tax revenues generated by the steel industry: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the President is requested to cause a study of imports of
steel mill products to be undertaken by the Department of Commerce, utilizing other appropriate Federal agencies, with particular respect to: (1) the possibility of unfair, below-cost pricing of steel mill product imports to the United States; (2) the impact of rapidly increasing imports of steel mill products upon the profitability of the domestic steel industry and the employment, income, and tax revenues generated by that industry; (3) the impact of such imports upon the maintenance of equilibrium in the balance of international payments of the United States; and (4) the effects of efforts of the Government to restrict the outflow of private capital upon the demand for steel products in foreign countries affected thereby.

REPORT ON U.S. PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy:
To The Congress of the United States:
The Third International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, which was held at Geneva, Switzerland, from August 31 to September 9, 1964, yielded much evidence that the world is on the threshold of an exciting new era of nuclear power. The work of the International Atomic Energy Agency at Vienna, since its establishment in 1957, has contributed to the development of the capabilities of many countries to
cross this threshold. The programs of the International Atomic Energy Agency, as they were carried forward during 1964, gave promise that the Agency will contribute in growing measure over future years to the application of the atom to the constructive works of man.
Particularly noteworthy was the progress made by the International Atomic Energy Agency during 1964 in laying the foundations for restricting the use of nuclear energy exclusively to peaceful purposes. In February 1964 the Agency adopted a system of safeguards, applicable to all nuclear reactors, designed to guard against the diversion of nuclear materials to military use. In September 1964 the Agency’s Director General reported that agreements had been negotiated with 17 of the 38 countries of the world possessing nuclear reactors, whereby some or all of their nuclear facilities would be placed under the safeguards of the Agency.
The United States has supported these activities, and looks to the Agency to play an increasingly significant role in developing the use of atomic energy for the benefit of the peoples of the world. U.S. participation in the International Atomic Energy Agency during the year 1964 is the subject of this eighth annual report which I am transmitting to the Congress pursuant to the provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency Participation Act.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, September 30, 1965.
DEVELOPMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following communication from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs:
The White House, Washington, September 30, 1965. Hon. Hubert H. Humphrey, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President: I am transmitting to the Congress herewith a proposed joint resolution to provide for the administration and development of Pennsylvania Avenue as a national historic site.
Increasing concern with the shabby condition of Pennsylvania Avenue—the Nation’s most distinguished and historic thoroughfare—led to the appointment by President Kennedy of the Council on Pennsylvania Avenue, which devoted almost 2 years to the preparation of plans for its rejuvenation. The work thus started has been carried forward by a temporary Commission on Pennsylvania Avenue, created by Executive Order No. 11210 on March 25,1965. The temporary commission recommended as the next appropriate steps the designation of the avenue as a national historic site and the proposed joint resolution.
The proposed joint resolution will provide for the administration and development of the avenue as a national
historic site through a Commission on Pennsylvania Avenue. The Commission is to carry forward the work of the temporary Commission and to coordinate activities along the avenue including Federal or District projects in the area.
That Pennsylvania Avenue will be redeveloped is inevitable. We must be sure that this development will be of a character worthy of this historic axis, which has from the beginning linked the Capitol and the White House. The proposed joint resolution will be a substantial step toward this goal. I hope it will have favorable consideration from the Congress.
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT ON SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
To the Congress of the United States:
I am transmitting the Second Annual Report on Special International Exhibitions, for the fiscal year 1964, pursuant
to section 108(b) of Public Law 87-256, the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961.
This program is designed to reveal to peoples abroad the true nature and broad extent of our economic, social, and cultural attainments. These exhibitions are also designed to advance mutually profitable trade relationships.
This American know-how is presented to show how it harmonizes with the host country’s own aspirations and capabilities. This is done by presenting major U.S. exhibitions at selected international fairs and expositions, or as special events, in support of American foreign-policy objectives.
This program concentrates mainly in Eastern Europe and the developing countries. Hundreds of American business and industrial firms, private institutions, and individuals cooperated with Government agencies and contributed materials, time, and talent to help insure the success of these exhibitions.
For people who yearn to learn more about us, the American pavilion is like a large picture window through which they can look and see for themselves. The steady stream of young and old, from all walks of life, flocking to our exhibitions to improve their knowledge of what America is and means is a sight not easily forgotten.
These exhibitions are a vital adjunct to our country’s unceasing pursuit of peace, freedom, and human dignity for men everywhere. I am gratified by the support the Congress has given this program since it began a decade ago.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, October 6: 1965.
REPORT ON INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Public Law 87-256), I am transmitting the annual report on the international educational and cultural exchange program for the fiscal year 1964.
This report suggests something of the experience of life in other lands which students, teachers, professors, lecturers, research scholars, performing artists, athletes and coaches, foreign leaders, writers, judges, doctors—indeed, the whole company of the adventurous, the skilled, the searching—have shared with their counterparts abroad, since the exchange programs began two decades ago.
In those 20 years they have become an established part of our commitment to international understanding. That commitment is expressed through congressional action, through the voluntary efforts of thousands of individual citizens, through our universities and colleges, and through national and local community organizations all across the country.
859
I commend the report to the thoughtful scrutiny of the Congress.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, October 6,1965.

That the House recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate and agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the Senate amendment insert the following: That this Act may be cited as the “Food and Agriculture Act of 1965”.
TITLE I—DAIRY
Sec. 101. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, as reenacted and amended by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended, is further amended by striking in subparagraph (B) of subsection 8c(5) all of clause (d) and inserting in lieu thereof a new clause (d) to read as follows:
“(d) a further adjustment, equitably to apportion the total value of the milk purchased by any handler, or by all handlers, among producers and associations of producers, on the basis of their marketings of milk, which may be adjusted to reflect sales of such milk by any handler or by all handlers in any use classification or classifications, during a representative period of time which need not be limited to one year. In the event a producer holding a base allocated under this clause (d) shall reduce his marketings, such reduction shall not adversely affect his history of production and marketing for the determination of future bases. Allocations to producers under this clause (d) may be transferable under an order on
such terms and conditions as may be prescribed if the Secretary of Agriculture determines that transfer ability will be in the best interest of the public, existing producers, and prospective new producers. Any increase in class one base resulting from enlarged or increased consumption and any producer class one bases forfeited or surrendered shall first be made available to new producers and to the allevation of hardship and inequity among producers. In the case of any producer who during any accounting period delivers a portion of his milk to persons not fully regulated by the order, provision may be made for reducing the allocation of, or payments to be received by, any such producer under this clause (d) to compensate for any marketings of milk to such other persons for such period or periods as necessary to insure equitable participation in marketings among all producers”;
and by adding at the end of said subparagraph (B) the following: “Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8c (12) and the last sentence of section 8c(19) of this Act, order provisions under (d) above shall not become effective in any marketing order unless separately approved by producers in a referendum in which each individual producer shall have one vote and may be terminated separately whenever the Secretary makes a determination with respect to such provisions as is provided for the termination of an order in subparagraph 8c (16) (B). Disapproval or termination of such order provisions shall not be considered disapproval of the order or of other terms of the order.”
Sec. 102. Such Act is further amended (a) by adding to subsection 8c(5) the following new paragraph: “(H) Marketing orders applicable to milk and its products may be limited in application to milk used for manufacturing.”; and (b) by amending subsection 8c (18) by adding after the words “marketing area” wherever they occur the words “or, in the case of orders applying only to manufacturing milk, the production area”.
Sec. 103. The provisions of this title shall not be effective after December 31, 1969.
Sec. 104. The legal status of producer handlers of milk under the provisions of the Argicultural Adjustment Act, as reenacted and amended by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended, shall be the same subsequent to the adoption of the amendments made by this title as it was prior thereto.
TITLE II—WOOL
Sec. 201. The National Wool Act of 1954, as amended, is amended, as follows:
(1)	By deleting from section 703 “March 31, 1966” and inserting in lieu thereof “December 31, 1969”.
(2)	By changing the period at the end of the third sentence of section 703 to a colon and inserting the following: “Provided further, That the support price for shorn wool for the 1966 and each subsequent marketing year shall be determined by multiplying 62 cents by the
872
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
October 12
ratio of (z) the average of the parity index (the index of prices paid by farmers, including commodities and services, interest, taxes, and farm wage rates, as defined in section 301 (a) (1) (C) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended) for the three calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which such price support is determined and announced to (ii) the average parity index for the three calendar years 1958, 1959, and 1960, and rounding the resulting amount to the nearest full cent.”
(3)	By deleting the fourth sentence of section 703.
TITLE III—FEED GRAINS
Sec. 301. Section 105 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subsection (e):
“(e) For the 1966 through 1969 crops of feed grains, the Secretary shall require, as a condition of eligibility for price support on the crop of any feed grain which is included in any acreage diversion program formulated under section 16(i) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended, that the producer shall participate in the diversion program to the extent prescribed by the Secretary, and, if no diversion program is in effect for any crop, he may require as a condition of eligibility for price support on such crop of feed grains that the producer shall not exceed his feed grain base: Provided, That the acreage on any farm which is diverted from the production of feed grains pursuant to a contract hereafter entered into under the Cropland Adjustment Program shall be deemed to be acreage diverted from the production of feed grains for purposes of meeting the foregoing requirements for eligibility for price support: Provided further, That the Secretary may provide that no producer of malting barley shall be required as a condition of eligibility for price support for barley to participate in the acreage diversion program for feed grains if such producer has previously produced a malting variety of barley, plants barley only of an acceptable malting variety for harvest, does not knowingly devote an acreage on the farm to barley in excess of 110 per centum of the average acreage devoted on the farm to barley in 1959 and 1960, does not knowingly devote an acreage on the farm to corn and grain sorghums in excess of the acreage devoted on the farm to corn and grain sorghums in 1959 and 1960, and does not devote any acreage devoted to the production of oats and rye in 1959 and 1960 to the production of wheat pursuant to the provisions of section 328 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962. Such portion of the support price for any feed grain included in the acreage diversion program as the Secretary determines desirable to assure that the benefits of the price-support and diversion programs inure primarily to those producers who cooperate in reducing their acreages of feed grains shall be made available to producers through payments in kind. Such payments in kind shall be
made available on the maximum permitted acreage, or the Secretary may make the same total amount available on a smaller acreage or acreages at a higher rate or rates. The number of bushels of such feed grain on which such payments in kind shall be made shall be determined by multiplying that part of the actual acreage of such feed grain planted on the farm for harvest on which the Secretary makes such payments available by the farm projected yield per acre: Provided, That for purposes of such payments, the Secretary may permit producers of feed grains to have acreage devoted to soybeans considered as devoted to the production of feed grains to such extent and subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines will not impair the effective operation of the price support program: Provided further, That for purposes of such payments, producers on any farm who have planted not less than 90 per centum of the acreage of feed grains permitted to be planted shall be deemed to have planted the entire acreage permitted. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), that portion of the support price which is made available through loans and purchases for the 1966 through 1969 crops may be reduced below the loan level for the 1965 crop by such amounts and in such stages as may be necessary to promote increased participation in the feed grain program, taking into account increases in yields, but so as not to disrupt the feed grain and livestock economy: Provided, That this authority shall not be construed to modify or affect the Secretary’s discretion to maintain or increase total price support levels to cooperators. An acreage on the farm which the Secretary finds was not planted to feed grains because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster shall be deemed to be an actual acreage of feed grains planted for harvest for purposes of such payments provided such acreage is not subsequently planted to any other income-producing crop during such year. The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of any payments hereunder to producers in advance of determination of performance. Payments in kind shall be made through the issuance of negotiable certificates which the Commodity Credit Corporation shall redeem for feed grains (such feed grains to be valued by the Secretary at not less than the current support price made available through loans and purchases, plus reasonable carrying charges) in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary and notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, assist the producer in the marketing of such certificates. The Secretary shall provide for the sharing of such certificates among producers on the farm on the basis of their respective shares in the feed grain crop produced on the farm, or the proceeds therefrom, except that in any case in which the Secretary determines that such basis would
not be fair and equitable, the Secretary shall provide for such sharing on such other basis as he may determine to be fair and equitable. If the operator of the farm elects to participate in the acreage diversion program, price support for feed grains included in the program shall be made available to the producers on such farm only if such producers divert from the production of such feed grains, in accordance with the provisions of such program, an acreage on the farm equal to the number of acres which such operator agrees to divert, and the agreement shall so provide. In any case in which the failure of a producer to comply fully with the terms and conditions of the programs formulated under this subsection (e) and subsection (d) of this section preclude the making of payments in kind, the Secretary may, nevertheless, make such payments in kind in such amounts as he determines to be equitable in relation to the seriousness of the default.”
Sec. 302. Section 16 of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subsection:
“(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law—
“(1) For the 1966 through 1969 crops of feed, grains, if the Secretary determines that the total supply of feed grains will, in the absence of an acreage diversion program, likely be excessive, taking into account the need for an adequate carryover to maintain reasonable and stable supplies and prices of feed grains and to meet any national emergency, he may formulate and carry out an acreage diversion program for feed grains, without regard to provisions which would be applicable to the regular agricultural conservation program, under which, subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines, conservation payments shall be made to producers who divert acreage from the production of feed grains to an approved conservation use and increase their average acreage of cropland devoted in 1959 and 1960 to designated soil-conserving crops or practices including summer fallow and idle land by an equal amount. Payments shall be made at such rate or rates as the Secretary determines will provide producers with a fair and reasonable return for the acreage diverted, but not in excess of 50 per centum of the estimated basic county support rate, including the lowest rate of payment-in-kind, on the normal production of the acreage diverted from the commodity on the farm based on the farm projected yield per acre. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Secretary may permit all or any part of such diverted acerage to be devoted to the production of guar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, crambe, plantago ovato, and flaxseed, if he determines that such production of the commodity is needed to provide an adequate supply, is not likely to increase the cost of the price

support program, and will not adversely affect farm income subject to the condition that payment with respect to diverted acreage devoted to any such crop shall be at a rate determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the use of such acerage for the production of such crops, but in no event shall the payment exceed one-half the rate which otherwise would be applicable if such acerage were devoted to conservation uses. The term ‘feed grains’ means corn, grain sorghums, and, if designated by the Secretary, barley, and if for any crop the producer so requests for purposes of having acreage devoted to the production of wheat considered as devoted to the production of feed grains, pursuant to the provisions of section 328 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, the term ‘feed grains’ shall include oats and rye and barley if not designated by the Secretary as provided above: Provided, That acreages of corn, grain sorghums, and, if designated by the Secretary, barley, shall not be planted in lieu of acreage of oats and rye and barley if not designated by the Secretary as provided above: Provided further, That the acregae devoted to the production of wheat shall not be considered as an acreage of feed grains for purposes of establishing the feed grain base acreage for the farm for subsequent crops. Such feed grain diversion program shall require the producer to take such measures as the Secretary may deem apropriate to keep such diverted acreage free from erosion, insects, weeds, and rodents. The acreage eligible for participation in the program shall be such acerage (not to exceed 50 per centum of the average acreage on the farm devoted to feed grains in the crop years 1959 and 1960 or twenty-five acres, whichever is greater) as the Secretary determines necessary to achieve the acerage reduction goal for the crop. Payments shall be made in kind. The acreage of wheat produced on the farm during the crop years 1959, 1960, and 1961, pursuant to the exemption provided in section 335(f) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, prior to its repeal by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, in excess of the small farm base acreage for wheat established under section 335 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, may be taken into consideration in establishing the feed grain base acreage for the farm. The Secretary may make such adjustments in acreage as he determines necessary to correct for abnormal factors affecting production, and to give due consideration to tillable acreage, croprotation practices, types of soil, soil and water conservation measures, and topography. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (i) (1), the Secretary may, upon unanimous request of the State committee
established pursuant to section 2(b) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended, adjust the feed grain bases for farms within any State or county to the extent he determines such adjustment to be necessary in order to establish fair and equitable feed grain bases for farms within such State or county. The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of any payments to producers in advance of determination of performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, barley shall not be included in the program for a producer of malting barley exempted pursuant to section 105(e) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, who participates only with respect to corn and grain sorghums and. does not knowingly devote an acreage on the farm to barley in excess of 110 per centum of the average acreage devoted on the farm to barley in 1959 and 1960.
“(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, not to exceed 1 per centum of the estimated total feed grain bases for all farms in a State for any year may be reserved from the feed grain bases established for farms in the State for apportionment to farms on which there were no acreages devoted to feed grains in the crop years 1959 and 1960 on the basis of the following factors: Suitability of the land for the production of feed grains, the past experience of the farm operator in the production of feed grains, the extent to which the farm operator is dependent on income from farming for his livelihood, the production of feed grains on other farms owned, operated, or controlled by the farm operator, and such other factors as the Secretary determines should be considered for the purpose of establishing fair and equitable feed grain bases. An acreage equal to the feed grain base so established for each farm shall be deemed to have been devoted to feed grains on the farm in each of the crop years 1959 and 1960 for purposes of this subsection except that producers on such farm shall not be eligible for conservation payments for the first year for which the feed grain base is established.
“(3) There are hereby authorized to be appropriated such amounts as may be necessary to enable the Secretary to carry out this section 16(i).
“(4) The Secretary shall provide by regulations for the sharing of payments under this subsection among producers on the farm on a fair and equitable basis and in keeping with existing contracts.
“(5) Payments in kind shall be made through the issuance of negotiable certificates which the Commodity Credit Corporation shall redeem for feed grains in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall, in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary, assist the producer in the marketing of such certificates. Feed grains with which Commodity Credit Corporation redeems certificates pursuant to this paragraph shall be valued at not less than current support price made available through loans and purchases, plus reasonable carrying charges.
“(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may, by mutual agreement with the producer, terminate or modify any agreement previously entered into pursuant to this subsection if he determines such action necessary because of an emergency created by drought or other disaster, or in order to prevent or alleviate a shortage in the supply of feed grains.”
Sec. 303. Section 326 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, as amended, is amended by deleting the language beginning with “the requirements” and ending with “Agricultural Act of 1961, and” and substituting therefor “the requirements of any program under which price support is extended or payments are made to farmers, and price support may be extended or”.
TITLE IV—COTTON
Sec. 401. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended as follows:
(1)	Section 348 of the Act is amended by adding the following new sentences at the end thereof: “The Secretary may extend the period for performance of obligations incurred in connection with payments made for the period ending July 31, 1966, or may make payments on raw cotton in inventory on July 31, 1966, at the rate in effect on such date. No payments shall be made hereunder with respect to 1966 crop cotton.”
(2)	Section 346 of the Act is amended by adding at the end thereof a new subsection as follows:
“(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for the 1966,1967,1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton, if the farm operator elects to forgo price support for any such crop of cotton by applying to the county committee of the county in which the farm is located for additional acreage under this subsection, he may plant an acreage not in excess of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 plus the acreage apportioned to the farm from the national export market acreage reserve, and all cotton of such crop produced on the farm may be marketed for export free of any penalty under this section: Provided, That the foregoing shall be applicable only to farms which had upland cotton allotments for 1965 and are operated by the same operator as in 1965 or by his heir.
“For the 1966 crop the national export market acreage reserve shall be 250,000 acres. For each subsequent crop—

If the carryover at the end of the marketing year for the preceding crop is estimated to be less than the carryover at the beginning The national export of such marketing market acreage reyear by—■	serve shall be—
At least 1,000,000 bales_______ 250,000 acres.
At least 750,000 bales, but not
as much as 1,000,000 bales.. 187,500 acres. At least 500,000 bales, but not

as much as 500,000 bales_____ 62,500 acres.
Less than 250,000 bales--------None.
“The national export market acreage reserve shall be apportioned to farms by the Secretary on the basis of the applications therefor. No application shall be accepted for a greater acreage than is available on the farm for the production of upland cotton. After apportionments are thus ma.de to farms, the Secretary shall provide farm operators a reasonable time in which to cancel their applications (.and agreements to forgo price support') and surrender to the Secretary through the county committee the export market acreage assigned to the farm. Acreage so surrendered shall be available for reassignment by the Secretary to other eligible farms to which export market acreage has been apportioned on the basis of the applications remaining outstanding. The operator of any farm who elects to forgo price support for any such crop under this subsection shall not be eligible for price support on cotton of such crop produced on any other farm in which he has a controlling or substantial interest as determined by the Secretary. Acreage planted to cotton in excess of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 shall not be taken into account in establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments. The operator of any farm to which export market acreage is apportioned, or the purchasers of cotton produced on such farm, shall, under regulations issued by the Secretary, furnish a bond or other undertaking prescribed by the Secretary providing for the exportation, without benefit of any Government cotton export subsidy and within such time as the Secretary may specify, of all cotton produced on such farm for such year. The bond or other undertaking given pursuant to this subsection shall provide that, upon failure to comply with the terms and conditions thereof, the person furnishing such bond or other undertaking shall be liable for liquidated damages in an amount which the Secretary determines and specifies in such undertaking will approximate the amount payable on excess cotton under subsection (a). The Secretary may, in lieu of the furnishing of a bond or other undertaking, provide for the payment of an amount equal to that which would be payable as liquidated damages under such bond or other undertaking. If such bond or other undertaking is not furnished, or if payment in lieu thereof is not made as provided herein, at such time and in the manner required by regulations of the
Secretary, or if the acreage planted to cotton on the farm exceeds the sum of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 and the acreage apportioned to the farm from the national export market acreage reserve, the acreage planted to cotton in excess of the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 shall be regarded as excess acreage for purposes of this section and section 345. Amounts collected by the Secretary under this subsection shall be remitted to the Commodity Credit Corporation.
(3)	Section 350 of the Act is amended, effective with the 1966 crop, to read as follows:
“Sec. 350. In order to afford producers an opportunity to participate in a program of reduced acreage and higher price support, as provided in section 103(d) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, the Secretary shall determine a national domestic allotment for the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton equal to the estimated domestic consumption of upland cotton (standard bales of four hundred and eighty pounds net weight) for the marketing year beginning in the year in which the crop is to be produced. The Secretary shall determine a farm domestic acreage allotment percentage for each such year by dividing (1) the national domestic allotment (in net weight pounds) by (2) the total for all States of the product of the State acreage allotment and the projected State yield. The farm domestic acreage allotment shall be established by multiplying the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 by the farm domestic acreage allotment percentage: Provided, That no farm domestic acreage allotment shall be less than 65 per centum of such farm acreage allotment. Such national domestic allotment shall be determined not later than October 15 of the calendar year preceding the year in which the crop is to be produced; except that in the case of the 1966 crop, such determination shall be made within 15 days after enactment of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965.”
Sec. 492. (a) Section 103 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subsection at the end thereof:
“(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if producers have not disapproved marketing quotas, price support and diversion payments shall be made available for the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops of upland cotton as provided in this subsection.
“ (2) Price support for each such crop of upland cotton shall be made available to cooperators through loans at such levels, not exceeding a level which will reflect for Middling one-inch upland cotton at average location in the United States 90 per centum of the estimated average world market price for Middling one-inch upland cotton for the marketing year for such crop, as the Secretary determines will provide orderly marketing of cotton during the harvest season and will retain an adequate share of the world market for cotton produced in the
United States taking into consideration the factors specified in section 401(b) of this Act: Provided, That the national average loan rate for the 1966 crop shall reflect 21 cents per pound for Middling one-inch upland cotton.
“(3) The Secretary also shall provide additional price support for each such crop through payments in cash or in kind to cooperators at a rate not less than 9 cents per pound: Provided, That the rate shall be such that the amount obtained by—
(i)	multiplying the rate by the farm domestic acreage allotment percentage, and
(ii)	dividing the product thus obtained by the cooperator percentage established under section 408(b), and
(Ui) adding the result thus obtained to the national average loan rate
shall not be less than 65 per centum or more than 90 per centum of the parity price for cotton as of the month in which the payment rate provided for by this paragraph is announced. Such payments shall be made on the quantity of cotton determined by multiplying the projected farm yield by the acreage planted to cotton within the farm domestic acreage allotment: Provided, That any such farm planting not less than 90 per centum of such domestic acreage allotment shall be deemed to have planted the entire amount of such allotment. An acreage on a farm in any such year which the Secretary finds was not planted to cotton because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster shall be deemed to be planted to cotton for purposes of payments under this subsection if such acreage is not subsequently devoted to any other income-producing crop in such year.
“(4) The Secretary shall make diversion payments in cash or in kind in addition to the price support payments authorized in paragraph (3) to cooperators who reduce their cotton acreage by diverting a portion of their cotton acreage allotment from the production of cotton to approved conservation practices to the extent prescribed by the Secretary: Provided, That no reduction below the domestic acreage allotments established under section 350 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, shall be prescribed: Provided further, That payment under this paragraph shall be made available for diverting to conserving uses that part of the acreage allotment which must be diverted from cotton in order that the producer may qualify as a cooperator. The rate of payment for acreage required to be diverted in order to qualify as a cooperator shall not be less than 25 per centum of the parity price for upland cotton as of the month in which such rate is announced. The rate of payment for additional acreage diverted shall be such rate as the Secretary determines to be fair and reasonable, but shall not exceed 40 per centum of such parity price. Payment at each applicable rate shall be made on the quantity of cotton determined by multiplying the acreage diverted from the production of cotton at
1965
such rate by the projected farm yield. In addition to the foregoing payment, if any, payment at the rate applicable for acreage required to be diverted to qualify as a cooperator shall be made to producers on small farms as defined in section 408(b) who do not exceed their farm acreage allotments on a quantity of cotton determined by multiplying an acreage equal to 35 per centum of such farm acreage allotment by the projected farm yield.
“(5) The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of the payments under this subsection to producers in advance of determination of performance and the balance of such payments shall be made at such time as the Secretary may prescribe.
“(6) Where the farm operator elects to participate in the diversion program authorized in this subsection and no acreage is planted to cotton on the farm, diversion payments shall be made at the rate established under paragraph (4) for acreage required to be diverted to qualify as a cooperator on the quantity of cotton determined by multiplying that part of the farm acreage allotment required to be diverted to qualify as a cooperator by the projected farm yield, and the remainder of such allotment may be released under the provisions of section 344 (m) (2) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended. The acreage on which payment is made under this paragraph shall be regarded as planted to cotton for purposes of establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments, and farm bases.
“(7) Payments in kind under this subsection shall be made through the issuance of certificates which the Commodity Credit Corporation shall redeem for cotton under regulations issued by the Secretary at a value per pound equal to not less than the current loan rate therefor. The Corporation may, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, assist the producers in the marketing of such certificates at such times and in such manner as the Secretary determines will best effectuate the purposes of the program authorized by this subsection.
“(8) Payments under this subsection shall be conditioned on the farm having an acreage of approved conservation uses equal to the sum of (i) the reduction in cotton acreage required to qualify for such payments (hereinafter called “diverted acreage”), and (ii) the average acreage of cropland on the farm devoted to designated soil-conserving crops or practices, including summer fallow and idle land, during a base period prescribed by the Secretary: Provided, That the Secretary may permit all or any part of such diverted acreage to be devoted to the production of guar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, crambe, plantago ovato, and flaxseed, if he determines that such production is necessary to provide an adequate supply of such commodities, is not likely to increase the cost of the price support program, and will not adversely affect farm income, subject to the condition that payment under paragraph (4) or
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
(6) with respect to diverted acreage devoted to any such crop shall be at a rate determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the use of such acreage for the production of such crops, but in no event shall the payment exceed one-half the rate which otherwise would be applicable if such acreage were devoted to conservation uses.
“(9) The acreage regarded as planted to cotton on any farm which qualifies for payment under this subsection except under paragraph (6) shall, for purposes of establishing future State, county, and farm acreage allotments and farm bases, be the farm acreage allotment established under section 344 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, excluding adjustments under subsection (m)(2) thereof.
“(10) The Secretary shall provide adequate safeguards to protect the interests of tenants and sharecroppers, including provision for sharing diversion payments on a fair and equitable basis under this subsection. The Secretary shall provide for the sharing of price support payments among producers on the farm on the basis of their respective shares in the cotton crop produced on the farm, or the proceeds therefrom, except that in any case in which the Secretary determines that such basis would not be fair and equitable, the Secretary shall provide for such sharing on such other basis as he may determine to be fair and equitable.
“(11) In any case in which the failure of a producer to comply fully with the terms and conditions of the programs formulated under this Act preclude the making of payments under this section, the Secretary may, nevertheless, make such payments in such amounts as he determines to be equitable in relation to the seriousness of the default.
“(12) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if, as a result of limitations hereafter enacted with respect to price support under this subsection, the Secretary is unable to make available to all cooperators the full amount of price support to which they would otherwise be entitled under paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection for any crop of upland cotton, (A) price support to cooperators shall be made available for such crop (if marketing quotas have not been disapproved) through loans or purchases at such level not less than 65 per centum nor more than 90 per centum of the parity price therefor as the Secretary determines appropriate; (B) in order to keep upland cotton to the maximum extent practicable in the normal channels of trade, such price support may be carried out through the simultaneous purchase of cotton at the support price therefor and resale at a lower price or through loans under which the cotton would be redeemable by payment of a price therefor lower than the amount of the loan thereon; and (C) such resale or redemption price shall be such as the Secretary determines will provide orderly marketing of cotton during the harvest season and will retain an ade
875
quate share of the world market for cotton produced in the United States.
“(13) The provisions of subsection 8 (g) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended (relating to assignment of payments), shall also apply to payments under this subsection.
“(14) The Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to utilize its capital funds and other assets for the purpose of making the payments authorized in this subsection and to pay administrative expenses necessary in carrying out this subsection.”
(b) Section 408(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended, effective only for the 1966 through 1969 crops, by changing the period at the end of the first sentence thereof to a colon and adding the following: “Provided, That for upland cotton a cooperator shall be a producer on whose farm the acreage planted to such cotton does not exceed the cooperator percentage, which shall be in the case of the 1966 crop, 87.5 per centum of such farm acreage allotment and, in the case of each of the 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops, such percentage, not less than 87.5 or more than 100 per centum, of such farm acreage allotment as the Secretary may specify for such crop, except that in the case of small farms (i.e. farms on which the acreage allotment is 10 acres or less, or on which the projected farm yield times the acreage allotment is 3,600 pounds or less, and the acreage allotment has not been reduced under section 344 (m)) the acreage of cotton on the farm shall not be required to be reduced below the farm acreage allotment.”
Sec. 403. Section 301 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subparagraphs to paragraph (13) of subsection (b):
“(L) ‘Projected national, State, and county yields’ for any crop of cotton shall be determined on the basis of the yield per harvested acre of such crop in the United States, the State and the county, respectively, during each of the five calendar years immediately preceding the year in which such projected yield for the United States, the State, and the county, respectively, is determined, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions affecting such yield, for trends in yields, and for any significant changes in production practices.
“(M) ‘Projected farm yield’ for any crop of cotton shall be determined on the basis of the yield per harvested acre of such crop on the farm during each of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year in which such projected farm yield is determined, adjusted for abnormal weather conditions affecting such yield, for trends in yields, and for any significant changes in production practices, but in no event shall such projected farm yield be less than the normal yield for such farm as provided in subparagraph (I) of this paragraph.”
Sec. 404. Section 407 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is
876
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
October 12
amended by adding at the end thereof the following: “Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for the period August 1, 1966, through July 31, 1970, (1) the Commodity Credit Corporation shall sell upland cotton for unrestricted use at the same prices as it sells cotton for export, in no event, however, at less than 110 percent of the loan rate, and (2) the Commodity Credit Corporation shall sell or make available for unrestricted use at current market prices in each marketing year a quantity of upland cotton equal to the amount by which the production of upland cotton is less than the estimated requirements for domestic use and for export for such marketing year. The Secretary may make such estimates and adjustments therein at such times as he determines will best effectuate the provisions of part (2) of the foregoing sentence and such quantities of cotton as are required to be sold under such sentence shall be offered for sale in an orderly manner and so as not to affect market prices unduly.”
Sec. 405. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding after section 344 the following new section:
“Sec. 344a. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary, if he determines that it will not impair the effective operation of the program involved, (1) may permit the owner and operator of any farm for which a cotton acreage allotment is established to sell or lease all or any part or the right to all or any part of such allotment (.excluding that part of the allotment which the Secretary determines was apportioned to the farm from the national acreage reserve ) to any other owner or operator of a farm for transfer to such farm; (2) may permit the owner of a farm to transfer all or any part of such allotment to any other farm owned or controlled by him: Provided, That the authority granted under this section may be exercised for the calendar years 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969, but all transfers hereunder shall be for such period of years as the parties thereto may agree.
“(b) Transfers under this section shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) no allotment shall be transferred to a farm in another State or to a person for use in another State; (ii) no farm allotment may be sold or leased for transfer to a farm in another county unless the producers of cotton in the •county from which transfer is being made have voted in a referendum within three years of the date of such transfer, by a two-thirds majority of the producers participating in such referendum, to permit the transfer of allotments to farms outside the county, which referendum, insofar as practicable, shall be held in confunction with the marketing quota referendum for the commodity; (Ui) no transfer of an allotment from a farm subject to a mortgage or other lien shall be permitted unless the transfer is agreed to by the lienholder; (iv) no sale of a farm allotment shall be permitted, if any sale of cotton allotment
to the same farm has been made within the three immediately preceding crop years; (v) the total cotton allotment for any farm to which allotment is transferred by sale or lease shall not exceed the farm acreage allotment (excluding reapportioned acreage) established for such farm for 1965 by more than one hundred acres; (vi) no cotton in excess of the remaining acreage allotment on the farm shall be planted on any farm from which the allotment (or part of an allotment) is sold for a period of five years following such sale, nor shall any cotton in excess of the remaining acreage allotment on the farm be planted on any farm from which the allotment (or part of an allotment) is leased during the period of such lease, and the producer on such farm shall so agree as a condition precedent to the Secretary’s approval of any such sale or lease; and (vii) no transfer of allotment shall be effective until a record thereof is filed with the county committee of the county to which such transfer is made and such committee determines that the transfer complies with the provisions of this section. Such record may be filed with such committee only during the period beginning June 1 and ending December 31.
“(c) The transfer of an allotment shall have the effect of transferring also the acreage history, farm base, and marketing quota attributable to such allotment and if the transfer is made prior to the determination of the allotment for any year the transfer shall include the right of the owner or operator to have an allotment determined for the farm for such year: Provided, That in the case of a transfer by lease, the amount of the allotment shall be considered for purposes of determining allotments after the expiration of the lease to have been planted on the farm from which such allotment is transferred.
“(d) The land in the farm from which the entire cotton allotment and acreage history have been transferred shall not be eligible for a new farm cotton allotment during the five years following the year in which such transfer is made.
“(e) The transfer of a portion of a farm allotment which was established under minimum farm allotment provisions for cotton or which operates to bring the farm within the minimum farm allotment provision for cotton shall cause the minimum farm allotment or base to be reduced to an amount equal to the allotment remaining on the farm after such transfer.
“(f) The Secretary shall prescribe regulations for the administration of this section, which shall include provisions for adjusting the size of the allotment transferred if the farm to which the allotment is transferred has a substantially higher yield per acre and such other terms and conditions as he deems necessary.
“(g) If the sale or lease occurs during a period in which the farm is covered by a conservation reserve contract, cropland conversion agreement, cropland adjustment agreement, or other similar land utilization agreement, the rates of
payment provided for in the contract or agreement of the farm from which the transfer is made shall be subject to an appropriate adjustment, but no adjustment shall be made in the contract or agreement of the farm to which the allotment is transferred.
“(h) The Secretary shall by regulations authorize the exchange between farms in the same county, or between farms in adjoining counties within a State, of cotton acreage allotment for rice acreage allotment. Any such exchange shall be made on the basis of application filed with the county committee by the owners and operators of the farms, and the transfer of allotment between the farms shall include transfer of the related acreage history for the commodity. The exchange shall be acre for acre or on such other basis as the Secretary determines is fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the comparative productivity of the soil for the farms involved and other relevant factors. No farm from which the entire cotton or rice allotment has been transferred. shall be eligible for an allotment of cotton or rice as a new farm within a period of five crop years after the date of such exchange.
“(i) The provisions of this section relating to cotton shall apply only to upland cotton.”

Sec. 501. Effective beginning with the crop planted for harvest in the calendar year 1966, the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended as follows:
(1)	Section 322 is amended by changing items (iv) in subsection (b) to read: “will be utilized, during such marketing year in the United States as livestock (including poultry) feed, excluding the estimated quantity of wheat which will be utilized for such purpose as a result of the substitution of wheat for feed grains under section 328 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962” and by adding the following new subsection;
“(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Secretary shall not proclaim a national marketing quota for the crops of wheat planted for harvest in the calendar years 1966 through 1969, and farm marketing quotas shall not be in effect for such crops of wheat.”
(2)	Section 333 is amended to read as follows: “The Secretary shall proclaim a national acreage allotment for each crop of wheat. The amount of the national acreage allotment for any crop of wheat shall be the number of acres which the Secretary determines on the basis of the projected national yield and expected underplantings (acreage other than not harvested because of program incentives) of farm acreage allotments will produce an amount of wheat equal to the national marketing quota for wheat for the marketing year for such crop, or if a national marketing quota was not proclaimed, the quota which would have been determined if one had been proclaimed.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
877
“(a) The national allotment for wheat, less a reserve of not to exceed 1 per centum thereof for apportionment as provided in this subsection and less the special acreage reserve provided for in this subsection, shall be apportioned by the Secretary among the States on the basis of the preceding year’s allotment for each such State, including all amounts alloted to the State and including for 1967 the increased acreage in the State alloted for 1966 under section 335, adjusted to the extent deemed necessary by the Secretary to establish a fair and equitable apportionment base for each State, taking into consideration established crop rotation practices, estimated decrease in farm allotments because of loss of history, and other relevant factors. The reserve acreage set aside herein for apportionment by the Secretary shall be used to make allotments to counties in addition to the county allotments made under subsection (b) of this section, on the basis of the relative needs of counties for additional allotments because of reclamation and other new areas coming into production of wheat. There also shall be made available a special acreage reserve of not in excess of one million acres as determined by the Secretary to be desirable for the purposes hereof which shall be in addition to the national acreage reserve provided for in this subsection. Such special acreage reserve shall be made available to the States to make additional allotments to counties on the basis of the relative needs of counties, as determined by the Secretary, for additional allotments to make adjustments in the allotments on old wheat farms (.that is, farms on which wheat has been seeded or regarded as seeded to one or more of the three crops immediately preceding the crop for which the allotment is established) on which the ratio of wheat acreage allotment to cropland on the farm is less than one-half the average ratio of wheat acreage allotment to cropland on old wheat farms in the county. Such adjustments shall not provide an allotment for any farm which would result in an allotment-cropland ratio for the farm in excess of one-half of such county average ratio and the total of such adjustments in any county shall not exceed the acreage made available therefore in the county. Such apportionment from the special acreage reserve shall be made only to counties where wheat is a major income-producing crop, only to farms on which there is limited opportunity for the production of an alternative income-producing crop, and only if an efficient farming operation on the farm requires the allotment of additional acreage from the special acreage reserve. For the purposes of making adjustments hereunder the cropland on the farm shall not include any land developed as cropland subsequent to the 1963 crop year.”
(4)	Subsection (b) of section 334 is amended to read as follows:
“(b) The State acreage allotment for wheat, less a reserve of not to exceed 3 per centum thereof for apportionment as
provided in subsection (c) of this section, shall be apportioned by the Secretary among the counties in the State, on the basis of the preceding year’s wheat allotment in each such county, including for 1967 the increased acreage in the county allotted for 1966 pursuant to section 335, adjusted to the extent deemed necessary by the Secretary in order to establish a fair and equitable apportionment base for each county, taking into consideration established crop rotation practices, estimated decrease in farm allotments because of loss of history, and other relevant factors.”
(5)	Subsection (c) of section 334 is amended by adding new paragraphs (3) and (4) to read as follows:
“(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the past acreage of wheat for 1967 and any subsequent year shall be the acreage of wheat planted, plus the acreage regarded as planted, for harvest as grain on the farm which is not in excess of the farm acreage allotment.
“(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (c), the farm acreage allotment for the 1967 and any subsequent crop of wheat shall be established for each old farm by apportioning the county wheat acreage allotment among farms in the county on which wheat has been planted, or is considered to have been planted, for harvest as grain in any one of the three years immediately preceding the year for which allotments are determined on the basis of past acreage of wheat and the farm acreage allotment for the year immediately preceding the year for which the allotment is being established, adjusted as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this paragraph, the acreage allotment for the immediately preceding year may be adjusted to reflect established crop-rotation practices, may be adjusted downward to reflect a reduction in the tillable acreage on the farm, and may be adjusted upward to reflect such other factors as the Secretary determines should be considered for the purpose of establishing a fair and equitable allotment: Provided, That (?) for the purposes of computing the allotment for any year, the acreage allotment for the farm for the immediately preceding year shall be decreased by 7 per centum if for the year immediately preceding the year for which such reduction is made neither a voluntary diversion program nor a voluntary certificate program was in effect and there was noncompliance with the farm acreage allotment for such year; (ii) for purposes of clause (i), any farm on which the entire amount of farm marketing excess is delivered to the Secretary, stored, or adjusted to zero in accordance with applicable regulations to avoid or postpone payment of the penalty when farm marketing quotas are in effect, shall be considered in compliance with the allotment, but if any part of the amount of wheat so stored is later depleted and penalty becomes due by reason of such depletion, the allotment for such farm next computed after determination of such depletion shall be reduced by re
ducing the allotment for the immediately preceding year by 7 per centum; and (Ui) for purposes of clause (i) if the Secretary determines that the reduction in the allotment does not provide fair and equitable treatment to producers on farms following special crop rotation practices, he may modify such reduction in the allotment as he determines to be necessary to provide fair and equitable treatment to such producers.”
(6)	Subsection (d) of section 334 is repealed.
(7)	Subsection (g) of section 334 is amended by striking out the language “except as prescribed in the provisos to the first sentence of subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of this section” in the first sentence.

(10)	Section 339(e) is amended to read as follows: “(e) The Secretary may permit all or any part of the diverted acreage to be devoted to the production of guar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, crambe, plantago ovato, and flaxseed, if he determines that such production of the commodity is needed to provide an adequate supply, is not likely to increase the cost of the price-support program and will not adversely affect farm income, subject to the condition that payment with respect to diverted acreage devoted to any such crop shall be at a rate determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable taking into consideration the use of such acreage for the production of such crops: Provided, That in no event shall the payment exceed one-half the rate which otherwise would be applicable if such acreage were devoted to conservation uses.”
Sec. 502. Effective only with respect to the crops of wheat planted for harvest in the calendar years 1966 through 1969, and the marketing years for such crops, section 379b is amended to read as follows:
“Sec. 370b. A wheat marketing allocation program as provided in this substitle shall be in effect for the marketing years for the crops planted for harvest in the calendar years 1966 through 1969. Whenever a wheat marketing allocation program is in effect for any marketing year the Secretary shall determine (1) the wheat marketing allocation for such year which shall be the amount of wheat he estimates will be used during such year for food products for consumption in the United States, but the amount of wheat included in the marketing alloca

tion for food products for consumption in the United States shall not be less than five hundred million bushels, and (2) the national allocation percentage for such year which shall be the percentage which, when applied to the farm as provided in this section, will result in marketing certificates being issued to producers in the amount of the national wheat marketing allocation. The cost of any domestic marketing certificates issued to producers in excess of the number of certificates acquired by processors as a result of the application of the five hundred million bushel minimum or an overestimate of the amount of wheat used during such year for food products for consumption in the United States shall be borne by Commodity Credit Corporation. Each farm shall receive a wheat marketing allocation for such marketing year equal to the number of bushels obtained by multiplying the number of acres in the farm acreage allotment for wheat by the projected farm yield, and multiplying the resulting number of bushels by the national allocation percentage.”
Sec. 503. Effective beginning with the 1970 crop, section 379b is amended by striking out “normal yield of wheat for the farm as determined by the Secretary” and substituting “projected farm yield”.

Such exemptions may be made applicable with respect to any wheat processed or exported beginning July 1,1964. There shall be exempt from the requirements of this subsection beverage distilled from wheat prior to July 1, 1964. A beverage distilled from wheat after July 1,1964, shall be deemed to be removed for sale or consumption at the time it is placed in barrels for aging except that upon the giving of a bond as prescribed by the Secretary, the purchase of and payment for such marketing certificates as may be required may be deferred until such beverage is bottled for sale. Wheat shipped to a Canadian port for storage in bond, or storage under a similar arrangement, and subsequent exportation, shall be deemed to have been exported for purposes of this subsection when it is exported from the Canadian port.”
(b)	Section 379d(d) is amended by inserting after the word “flour” the following: “ (excluding flour second clears not used for human consumption as determined by the Secretary)”, and by inserting at the end thereof the following: “The Secretary may at his election administer the exemption for wheat processed into flour second clears through
refunds either to processors of such wheat or to the users of such clears. For the purpose of such refunds, the wheat equivalent of flour second clears may be determined on the basis of conversion factors authorized by section 379f of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, even though certificates had been surrendered on the basis of the weight of the wheat.”
This subsection shall be effective as to products sold, or removed for sale or consumption on or after sixty days following enactment of this Act, unless the Secretary shall by regulation designate an earlier effective date within such sixty-day period.
(c)	Section 379d(b) is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: “Whenever the face value per bushel of domestic marketing certificates for a marketing year is different from the face value of domestic marketing certificates for the preceding marketing year, the Secretary may require marketing certificates issued for the preceding marketing year to be acquired to cover all wheat processed into food products during such preceding marketing year even though the food product may be marketed or removed for sale or consumption after the end of the marketing year.”
(d)	Section 379g is amended by inserting “(a)” after “Sec. 379g” and adding a new subsection (b) as follows:
“(b) Whenever the face value per bushel of domestic marketing certificates for a marketing year is substantially different from the face value of domestic marketing certificates for the preceding marketing year, the Secretary is authorized to take such action as he determines necessary to facilitate the transition between marketing years. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, such authority shall include, but shall not be limited to, the authority to sell certificates to persons engaged in the processing of wheat into food products covering such quantities of wheat, at such prices, and under such terms and conditions as the Secretary may by regulation provide. Any such certificate shall be issued by Commodity Credit Corporation”

“(2) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), for the 1966 crop, price support for wheat accompanied by domestic marketing certificates shall be at 100 per centum of the parity price therefor, and price support for wheat not accompanied by marketing certificates shall be not less than $1.25 per bushel. For any crop of wheat planted for harvest during the calendar years 1967 through 1969 for which the diversion factor established pursuant to section 339(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is not less than 10 per centum, the total average rate of return per bushel made available to a cooperator on the estimated production of his allotment based on projected yield through loans, domestic marketing certificates, estimated returns from export marketing certificates, and diversion payments for acreage diverted pursuant to section 339(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, shall not be less than the total average rate of return per bushel made available to cooperators through loans and domestic marketing certificates for the 1966 crop.
“(3) Price support shall be made available only to cooperators, and
“(4) A ‘cooperator’ with respect to any crop of wheat produced on a farm shall be a producer who (i) does not knowingly exceed (A) the farm acreage allotment for wheat on the farm or (B) except as the Secretary may by regulation prescribe, the farm acreage allotment for wheat on any other farm on which the producer shares in the production of wheat, and (ii) complies with the land-use requirements of section 339 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, to the extent prescribed by the Secretary.

35-100—s J—89-1---56
880
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
October 12
a program during the calendar years 1965 through 1969 under which agreements would be entered into with producers as hereinafter provided for periods of not less than five nor more than ten years. No agreement shall be entered into under this section concerning land with respect to which the ownership has changed in the three-year period preceding the first year of the agreement period unless the new ownership was acquired by will or succession as a result of the death of the previous owner, or unless the new ownership was acquired prior to January 1, 1965, under other circumstances which the Secretary determines, and specifies by regulation, will give adequate assurance that such land was not acquired for the purpose of placing it in the program: Provided, That this provision shall not be construed to prohibit the continuation of an agreement by a new owner after an agreement has once been entered into under this section: Provided further, That the Secretary shall not require a person who has operated the land to be covered by an agreement under this section for as long as three years preceding the date of the agreement and who controls the land for the agreement period to own the land as a condition of eligibility for entering into the agreement.”
(b)	The producer shall agree (1) to carry out on a specifically designated acreage of land on the farm regularly used in the production of crops (including crops, such as tame hay, alfalfa, and clovers, which do not require annual tillage and which have been planted within five years preceding the date of the agreement), hereinafter called “designated acreage”, and maintain for the agreement period practices or uses which will conserve soil, water, or forest resources, or establish or protect or conserve open spaces, natural beauty, wildlife or recreational resources, or prevent air or water pollution, in such manner as the Secretary may prescribe (priority being given to the extent practicable to practices or uses which are most likely to result in permanent retirement to noncrop uses); (2) to maintain in conserving crops or uses or allow to remain idle throughout the agreement period the acreage normally devoted to such crops or uses; (3) not to harvest any crop from or graze the designated acreage during the agreement period, unless the Secretary, after certification by the Governor of the State in which such acreage is situated of the need for grazing or harvesting of such acreage, determines that it is necessary to permit grazing or harvesting in order to alleviate damage, hardship, or suffering caused by severe drought, flood, or other natural disaster, and consents to such grazing or harvesting subject to an appropriate reduction in the rate of payment; and (4) to such additional terms and conditions as the Secretary determines are desirable to effectuate the purposes of the program, including such measures as the Secretary may deem appropriate to keep the designated acreage free from erosion, insects, weeds, and rodents. Agreements entered into under which 1966 is the first year of the agreement period (A) shall
require the producer to divert from production all of one or more crops designated by the Secretary; and (B) shall not provide for diversion from the production of upland cotton in any county in which the county committee by resolution determines, and requests of the Secretary, that there should not be such diversion in 1966.
(c)	Under such agreements the Secretary shall (1) bear such part of the average cost (including labor) for the county or area in which the farm is situated of establishing and maintaining authorized practices or uses on the designated acreage as the Secretary determines to be necessary to effectuate the purposes of the program, but not to exceed the average rate for comparable practices or uses under the agricultural conservation program, and (2) make an annual adjustment payment to the producer for the period of the agreement at such rate or rates as the Secretary determines to be fair and reasonable in consideration of the obligations undertaken by the producers. The rate or rates of annual adjustment payments as determined hereunder may be increased by an amount determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in relation to the benefit to the general public of the use of the designated acreage if the producer further agrees to permit without other compensation, access to such acreage by the general public, during the agreement period, for hunting, trapping, fishing, and hiking, subject to applicable State and Federal regulations. The Secretary and the producer may agree that the annual adjustment payments for all years of the agreement period shall be made either upon approval of the agreement or in such installments as they may agree to be desirable: Provided, That for each year any annual adjustment payment is made in advance of performance, the annual adjustment payment shall be reduced by 5 per centum. The Secretary may provide for adjusting any payment on account of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the program.
(d)	The Secretary shall, unless he determines that such action will be inconsistent with the effective administration of the program, use an advertising and bid procedure in determining the lands in any area to be covered by agreements. The total acreage placed under contract in any county or local community shall be limited to a percentage of the total eligible acreage in such county or local community which the Secretary determines would not adversely affect the economy of the county or local community. In determining such percentage the Secretary shall give appropriate consideration to the productivity of the acreage being retired as compared to the average productivity of eligible acreage in the county or local community.
(e)	The annual adjustment payment shall not exceed 40 per centum of the estimated value, as determined by the Secretary, on the basis of prices in effect at the time the agreement is entered into, of the crops or types of crops which might otherwise be grown. The esti
mated value may be established by the Secretary on a county, area, or individual farm basis as he deems appropriate.
(f)	The Secretary may terminate any agreement with a producer by mutual agreement with the producer if the Secretary determines that such termination would be in the public interest, and may agree to such modification of agreements as he may determine to be desirable to carry out the purposes of the program or facilitate its administration.
(g)	Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Agriculture may, to the extent he deems it desirable, provide by appropriate regulations for preservation of cropland, crop acreage, and allotment history applicable to acreage diverted from the production of crops in order to establish or maintain vegetative cover or other approved practices for the purpose of any Federal program under which such history is used as a basis for an allotment or other limitation or for participation in such program. Subsection (b) (3) and (4) and (e)(6) of section 16 of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended, are repealed, except that all rights accruing thereunder to persons who entered into contracts or agreements prior to such repeal shall be preserved.
(h)	In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall utilize the services of local, county, and State committees established under section 8 of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended.
(i)	For the purpose of obtaining an increase in the permanent retirement of cropland to noncrop uses the Secretary may, notwithstanding any other provision of law, transfer funds available for carrying out the program to any other Federal agency or to States or local government agencies for use in acquiring cropland for the preservation of open spaces, natural beauty, the development of wildlife or recreational facilities, or the prevention of air or water pollution under terms and conditions consistent with and at costs not greater than those under agreements entered into with producers, provided the Secretary determines that the purposes of the program will be accomplished by such action.
(j)	The Secretary also is authorized to share the cost with State and local governmental agencies in the establishment of practices or uses which will establish, protect, and conserve open spaces, natural beauty, wildlife or recreational resources, or prevent air or water pollution under terms and conditions and at costs consistent with those under agreements entered into with producers, provided the Secretary determines that the purposes of the program will be accomplished by such action.
(k)	In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall not during any of the fiscal years ending June 30,1966 through June 30, 1968 or during the period June 30, 1968 through December 31, 1969, enter into agreements with producers which would require payments to producers in any calendar year under such
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
881
agreements in excess of $225,000,000 plus any amount by which agreements entered into in prior fiscal years require payments in amounts less than authorized for such prior fiscal years. For purposes of applying this limitation, the annual adjustment payment shall be chargeable to the year in which performance is rendered regardless of the year in which it is made.
(I)	The Secretary is authorized to utilize the facilities, services, authorities, and funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation in discharging his functions and responsibilities under this program, including payment of costs of administration: Provided, That after December 31,1966, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall not make any expenditures for carrying out the purposes of this title unless the Corporation has received funds to cover such expenditures from appropriations made to carry out the purposes of this title. There are hereby authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out the program, including such amounts as may be required to make payments to the Corporation for its actual costs incurred or to be incurred under this program.
(m)	In case any producer who is entitled to any payment or compensation dies, becomes incompetent, or disappears before receiving such payment or compensation, or is succeeded by another who renders or completes the required performance, the payment or compensation shall, without regard to any other provisions of law, be made as the Secretary may determine to be fair and reasonable in all the circumstances and so provide by regulations.
(n) The Secretary shall provide adequate safeguards to protect the interests of tenants and sharecroppers, including provision for sharing, on a fair and equitable basis, in payments or compensation under this program.
(o)	The acreage on any farm which is diverted from the production of any commodity pursuant to an agreement hereafter entered into under this title shall be deemed to be acreage diverted from that commodity for the purposes of any commodity program under which diversion is required as a condition of eligibility for price support.
(p)	The Secretary may, without regard to the civil service laws, appoint an Advisory Board on Wildlife to advise and consult on matters relating to his functions under this title as he deems appropriate. The Board shall consist of twelve persons chosen from members of wildlife organizations, from organiza-tins, State game and fish agencies, and representatives of the general public. Members of such Advisory Board who are not regular full-time employees of the United States shall not be entitled to any compensation or expenses.
(q)	The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as he determines necessary to carry out the provisions of this title.

“(1) the tract of land transferred from the parent farm has been or is being transferred to any agency having the right to acquire it by eminent domain;
“(2) the tract of land transferred from the parent farm is to be used for nonagricultural purposes;
“(3) the parent farm resulted, from a combination of two or more tracts of land and records are available showing the contribution of each tract to the allotments, histories, and bases of the parent farm;

“(5) the parent farm is divided among heirs in settling an estate.
“(6) neither the tract transferred from the parent farm nor the remaining portion of the parent farm receives allotments in excess of allot

ments for similar farms in the community having allotments of the commodity or commodities involved and such allotments are consistent with good land uses, but this clause (6) shall not be applicable in the case of burley tobacco.”
Sec. 708. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the determination of farm yields the Secretary may use projected yields in lieu of normal yields.

TITLE VIII—RICE
Sec. 801. Section 353(c) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended by adding the following new paragraph at the end thereof:
“(7) If the national acreage allotment for rice for 1966, 1967, 1968, or 1969 is less than the national acreage allotment for rice for 1965, the Secretary shall formulate and carry out an acreage diversion program for rice for such year designed to support the gross income of rice producers at a level not loiver than that for 1965, minus any reduction in production costs resulting from the reduced rice acreage. Under such program conservation payments shall be made to producers who comply with their rice acreage allotments, devote to an approved conservation use an acreage of cropland on the farm equal to the number of acres determined by multiplying the farm acreage allotment by the diversion factor, and comply with such additional terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe. The diversion factor shall be determined by dividing the number of acres by which the national acreage allotment is reduced below the national acreage allotment for 1965 by the number of acres in the national acreage allotment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Secretary may permit all or any part of such diverted acreage to be devoted to the production of guar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, crambe, plantago ovato, and flaxseed, if he determines that such production is not likely to increase the cost of the pricesupport program and will not adversely affect farm income, subject to the condition that payment with respect to diverted acreage devoted to any
such crops shall be at a rate determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the use of such acreage for the production of such crops; but in no event shall the payment exceed one-half the rate which otherwise ivould be applicable if such acreage were devoted to conservation uses. Such program shall require the producer to take such measures as the Secretary may deem appropriate to keep such diverted acreage free from erosion, insects, weeds, and rodents. The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of any payments to producers in advance of determination of performance. The Secretary shall provide for the sharing of payments under this paragraph among producers on the farm on a fair and equitable basis as determined by the Secretary. The Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to utilize its capital funds and other assets for the purpose of making the payments authorized in this paragraph and to pay administrative expenses necessary in carrying out this paragraph.”
Sec. 802. Section 403 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by inserting at the end thereof the following: “In determining support prices for the 1966 and 1967 crops of rice the Secretary shall, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of law, use head and broken rice value factors for the various varieties which (1) are not lower than those used with respect to the 1965 crop, and (2) do not differ as between any two varieties by a greater amount than the value factors used with respect to the 1965 crop for such two varieties differed.”

REPORT ON TRADE AGREEMENTS PROGRAM
The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Finance:
To the Congress of the United States:
This is the ninth annual report on the trade agreements program, as required by section 402(a) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
In 1964, United States and free world trade continued to set fresh records.
U.S. exports reached a new high of $25.6 billion, $6.9 billion more than our imports.
U.S. farm exports rose to $6.4 billion, an all-time peak.
Free world exports reached a record $152 billion.
The major trading nations agreed to take further steps under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to assist exports from developing countries.
The policy of two-way trade expansion and liberalization, initiated with the Trade Agreements Act of 1934 and continued by every administration since that time, has brought great benefits to this country. In general, U.S. goods have enjoyed progressively easier access to foreign markets. Low cost, high-quality U.S. exports, sold and used in every corner of the world, have provided immediate evidence of the vitality of our free enterprise system. Our processors have gained ready access to essential raw materials, and have profited from the stimulus of keener competition. Consumers have enjoyed the wide range of choice which the world market provides.
But we have only begun. We must build on past success to achieve greater well-being for America, and for all the world’s peoples. In particular, we must make every effort to assure the success of the current Geneva negotiations, known as the Kennedy round.
In this International Cooperation Year of 1965, all nations should pledge themselves to work together for the steady expansion of commerce. Continuing its steady course begun in 1934, the United States will do its part in achieving that goal.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

ATLANTIC UNION DELEGATION
Mr. McCarthy, (for himself, Mr. Carlson, and Mr. Metcalf) submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 64) ; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Whereas—
1.	In 1969 any party may withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty, which was ratified in 1949 as a first rather than a last step toward unity;
2.	Since 1949 revolutionizing scientific, technological and other advance has outstripped it and made practical union of these allies imperative for prosperity, peace and freedom;
3.	The fragmentation of the world in new nations, now when the strongest democracies cannot live alone, also requires them to build the pilot plant needed to spread liberty and union both by example, and by admitting to their Union other nations desiring this and able to uphold its principles;
4.	They need but unite effectively their gold and other resources behind a common currency now to assure their citizens, and the developing nations, enduring monetary stability and liquidity, and prevent their disunion from ending, as in 1931, in dictator-serving crash;
5.	Our Original States, when beset by disunion’s dangers under their confederation, sent delegates to the 1787 Convention, which traced their troubles to their confederal structure and invented Federal Union, which has enduringly safeguarded member States from domination by one another, equitably apportioned among their sovereign citizens voting power on common concerns—and the benefits and burdens of union—assured each State of independent government of State affairs, met other challenges facing the Atlantic allies now, and not merely worked but proved that free peoples can thus work wonders;
6.	Distant though NATO’s transformation into a federation of the free may seem, these allies can greatly speed it now by officially declaring that federal union, within the framework of the United Nations, is their eventual goal, setting a timetable—as we did for our moon target—and providing democratic means for achieving the transition in safe time: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That—
1.	The Congress hereby creates an Atlantic union delegation, composed of eighteen eminent citizens, and authorized to organize and participate in a convention made up of similar delegations from such NATO allies as desire to join in this enterprise, to explore the possibility of agreement on:
(a)	A declaration that the eventual goal of their peoples is to transform their present alliance into a federal union;
(b)	A tentative timetable for the transition to this goal; and
(c)	Democratic institutions to expedite the necessary stages and achieve the objective in time to save their citizens from another war, depression, or other manmade catastrophe, and let them enjoy, as soon as possible, the greater freedom and higher moral and material blessings which federation has brought to the free in the past;
2.	The convention’s recommendations shall be submitted to the Congress for action by constitutional procedure;
3.	Not more than half of the delegation’s members shall be from one political party, and all shall be citizens of high stature and wide influence, representing together a broad range of experience in the various major challenges facing this undertaking, and so conscious of its importance and urgency as to be willing to give it personally the necessary priority and time, in the spirit of 1787 which one member of that Convention thus expressed: “Inconvenient” as it was “to remain absent from his private affairs, he would bury his bones” in Philadelphia, if need be to unite the free;
4.	Eight of the delegation shall be named by the Congress and eight by the President of the United States, and all shall be as free from official instructions and as free to speak and vote individually as were the drafters of the United States Constitution;
5.	The Congress hereby requests former Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as co-chairmen of the delegation.

912
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
October 20
the other countries listed in subsection (c) (3) (A) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries.
“‘(C) The quantities of sugar prorated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall be designated as temporary quotas and the term “quota” as defined in this Act shall include a temporary quota establishment under this subsection.
“‘(2) (A) Whenever the Secretary finds that it is not practicable to obtain the quantity of sugar needed from foreign countries to meet any increase during the year in the requirements of consumers under section 201 by apportionment to countries pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) and the foregoing provisions of this subsection, such quantity of sugar may be imported on a first-come, first-served basis from any foreign country, except that no sugar shall be authorized for importation from Cuba until the United States resumes diplomatic relations with that country and no sugar shall be authorized for importation hereunder from any foreign country with respect to which a finding by the President is in effect under subsection (d) (1) (B) : Provided, That such finding shall not be made in the first nine months of the year unless the Secretary also finds that limited sugar supplies and increases in prices have created or may create an emergency situation significantly interfering with the orderly movement of foreign raw sugar by the United States. In the event that the requirements of consumers under section 201 are thereafter reduced in the same calendar year, an amount not exceeding such increase in requirements shall be deducted pro rata from the quotas established pursuant to subsection (c) and this subsection.
‘“(B) Sugar imported under the authority of this paragraph (2) shall be raw sugar, except that if the Secretary determines that the total quantity is not reasonably available as raw sugar, he may authorize the importation for direct consumption of so much of such quantity as he determines may be required to meet the requirements of consumers in the United States.
“ ‘(3) No quota shall be established for any country other than Ireland for any year following a period of twenty-four months, ending June 30 prior to the establishment of quotas for such year in which its aggregate imports of sugar equaled or exceeded its aggregate exports of sugar from such country to countries other than the United States.
“‘(4) Whenever in any calendar year any foreign country fails, subject to such reasonable tolerance as the Secretary may determine, to fill the quota as established for it pursuant to this Act, the quota for such country for subsequent calendar years shall be reduced by the smaller of (i) the amount by which such country failed to fill such quota or (ii) the amount by which its exports of sugar to the United States
in the year such quota was not filled was less than 115 per centum of such quota for the preceding calendar year: Provided, That (i) no such reduction shall be made if the country has notified, the Secretary before August 1 of such year (or, with respect to events occurring thereafter, as soon as practicable after such event), of the likelihood of such failure and the Secretary finds that such failure was due to crop disaster or other force majeure, unless such country exported sugar in such year to a country other than the United States, in which case the reduction in quota for the subsequent years shall be limited to the amount of such exports, as determined by the Secretary, and (ii) in no event shall the quota for the Republic of the Phillipines be reduced to an amount less than nine hundred and eighty thousand short tons, raw value, of sugar.
“‘(5) Any reduction in the quota because of the requirements of paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection shall be prorated to other foreign countries in the same manner as deficits are prorated under section 204 of this Act. For purposes of determining unfilled portions of quotas, entries of sugar from a foreign country shall be prorated between the temporary quota established pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection and the quota established pursuant to subsection (c).
“ ‘(6) If any foreign country fails to give assurance to the Secretary, on or before December 31, 1965, that such country will fill the quota as established for it under subsections (c) (3) and (d)(1) of this section for years after 1965, the quota for such country for such years shall be reduced to the amount which the country gives assurance that it will fill for such years. The portion of the quota for such country for which such assurance is not given shall be withdrawn for such years and a quantity of sugar equal to such portion shall be prorated to other foreign countries in the same manner as deficits are prorated under section 204 of this Act. For purposes of applying paragraph (4) of this subsection, any reduction in the quota of a foreign country under this paragraph shall be disregarded. “‘(e) Whenever the President finds that it is no longer contrary to the na-tionary interest of the United States to reestablish a quota or part thereof withheld or suspended under subsection (d) (1) of this section, and, in the case of Cuba, diplomatic relations have been resumed by the United States, such quota shall be restored in the manner the President finds appropriate: Provided, That the entire amount of such quota shall be restored for the third full calendar year following such finding by the President. The temporary quotas established pursuant to subsection (d) (1) shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this section, be reduced pro rata to the extent necessary to restore the quota in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
“ ‘(f) Whenever any quota is required to be reduced pursuant to subsection (e) or because of a reduction in the requirements of consumers under section 201 of this Act, and the amount of sugar imported from any country or marketed from any area at the time of such reduction exceeds the reduced quota, the amount of such excess shall, nothwith-standing any other provision of this section, be deducted from the quota established for such country or domestic area for the next succeeding calendar year.
“‘(g) The Secretary is authorized to limit, through the use of limitations applied on a quarterly basis only, the importation of sugar within the quota for any foreign country during the first and second quarters of any calendar year whenever he determines that such limitation is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Act: Provided, That this subsection shall not operate to reduce the quantity of sugar permitted to be imported for any calendar year from any country below its quota, including deficits allocated to it, for that year.
“‘(h) The quota established for any foreign country and the quantity authorized to be imported from any country under subsection (d) (2) of this section may be filed only with sugar produced from sugarbeets or sugarcane grown in such country.’
“Sec. 4. Section 204 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended to read as follows:
“ ‘Sec. 204. (a) The Secretary shall from time to time determine whether, in view of the current inventories of sugar, the estimated production from the acreage of sugarcane or sugarbeets planted, the normal marketings within a calendar year of new-crop sugar, and other pertinent factors, any area or country will be unable to market the quota for such area or country. If the Secretary determines that any domestic area or foreign country will be unable to market the quota for such area or country, he shall revise the quota for the Republic of the Philippines by allocating to it an amount of sugar equal to 47.22 per centum of the deficit, and shall allocate an amount of sugar equal to the remainder of the deficit to the countries listed in section 202(c) (3) (A) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries: Provided, That if any quota is restored to Cuba, the maximum per centum of 47.22 of the deficit to be allocated to the Republic of the Philippines shall be reduced to a per centum equal to that which the Philippine quota under subsection (b) of section 202 bears to the sum of such Philippine quota and the quotas then in effect for all foreign countries pursuant to subsection (c) of section 202. If the Secretary determines the Republic of the Philippines will be unable to fill its share of any deficit determined under this subsection, he shall allocate such unfilled amount to the countries listed in section 202(c) (3) (A) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries. If the Secretary determines that neither the Republic of the Philippines nor the countries listed in section 202(c) (3) (A) can
1965
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
913
fill all of any such deficit, he shall apportion such unfilled amount on such basis and to such foreign countries as he determines is required to fill such deficit. Any reallocation of deficits pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the import restrictions of subsection (d) (1) of section 202. The Secretary shall insofar as practicable determine and allocate deficits so as to assure the availability of the sugar for importation during the calendar year. In any event, any deficit, so far as then known, shall be determined and allocated by August 1 of the calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, if the President determines that such action would be in the national interest, any part of a deficit which would otherwise be allocated to countries listed in section 202(c)(3)(A) may be allocated to one or more of such countries with a quota in effect on such basis as the President finds appropriate.
“‘(b) The quota established for any domestic area or any foreign country under section 202 shall not be reduced by reason of any determination of a deficit existing in any calendar year under subsection (a) of this section: Provided, That the quota for any foreign country shall be reduced to the extent that it has notified the Secretary that it cannot fill its quota and the Secretary has found under section 202(d)(4) that such failure was due to crop disaster or other force majeure.’ ”
On page 47, strike out lines 3 through 13, as follows:
“‘(e) None of the quota established for any foreign country other than the Republic of the Philippines and none of the deficit prorations and apportionments for any foreign country established under or in accordance with section 204(a) may be filled by direct-consumption sugar: Provided, That the quotas for Ireland, Belgium, and Panama may be filled by direct-consumption sugar to the extent of two thousand three hundred and eleven short tons, raw value, for Ireland; one hundred and eighty-two short tons, raw value, for Belgium; and three thousand eight hundred and seventeen short tons, raw value, for Panama.’ ”
On page 51, line 21, strike out all through line 19 on page 52, as follows:
“(2) Subsection (a) of section 408 of such Act is amended by adding the following at the end thereof: ‘During any period that the operation of the provisions of title II is so suspended by the President, the Secretary shall estimate for each year the amount of sugar needed to meet requirements of consumers in the United States and the amount the quota for each country would be calculated on the basis as provided in section 202 of this Act. Notice of such estimate and quota calculation shall be published in the Federal Register. If any country fails to import into the continental United States within the quota year, an amount of sugar equal to the amount the quota would be as calculated for such country by the Secretary for such year, the quota established for such
country in subsequent years under the provisions of title II shall be reduced as provided in section 202(d) (4) of this Act: Provided, That quotas for subsequent years shall not be reduced when quotas are suspended under this subsection and reimposed in the same calendar year.’
“(3) Subsection (b) of section 408 of such Act is amended by striking out the last sentence thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the following: ‘Any quantity so suspended shall be allocated in the same manner as deficits are allocated under the provisions of section 204 of this Act.’ ”
On page 55, lines 2, 3, and 4, strike out the following: “The amendments made by section 4 of this Act shall become effective January 1,1966.”

TITLE I—COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Appropriations Authorized
Sec. 101. For the purpose of assisting the people of the United States in the solution of commuity problems such as housing, poverty, government, recreation, employment, youth opportunities, transportation, health, and land use by enabling the Commissioner to make grants under this title to strengthen community service programs of colleges and universities, there are authorized to be appropriated $25,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966, and $50,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967, and for the succeeding fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1969, and the succeeding fiscal year, there may be appropriated, to enable the Commissioner to make such grants, only such sums as the Congress may hereafter authorize by law.
Definition of Community Service Program
Sec. 102. For purposes of this title, the term “community service program” means an educational program, activity, or service, including a research program and a university extension or continuing education offering, which is designed to assist in the solution of community problems in rural, urban, or suburban areas, with particular emphasis on urban and suburban problems, where the institution offering such program, activity, or service determines—
(1)	that the proposed program, activity, or service is not otherwise available, and
(2)	that the conduct of the program or performance of the activity or service is consistent with the institution’s over-all educational program and is of such a nature as is appropriate to the effective utilization of the institution’s special resources and the competencies of its faculty.
Where course offerings are involved, such courses must be university extension or continuing education courses and must be—
(A)	fully acceptable toward an academic degree, or
(B)	of college level as determined by the institution offering such courses.
Allotments to States
Sec. 103. (a) Of the sums appropriated pursuant to section 101 for each fiscal year, the Commissioner shall allot $25,-000 each to Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands and $100,000 to each of the other States, and he shall allot to each State an amount which bears the same ratio to the remainder of such sums as
the population of the State bears to the population of all States.
(b)	The amount of any State’s allotment under subsection (a) for any fiscal year which the Commissioner determines ivill not be required for such fiscal year for carrying out the State plan (if any) approved under this title shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such dates during such year as the Commissioner may fix, to other States in proportion to the original allotments to such States under such subsection for such year, but with such proportionate amount for any of such States being reduced to the extent it exceeds the sum of the Commissioner estimates such State needs and will be able to use for such year for carrying out the State plan; and the total of such reductions shall be similarly reallotted among the States ivhose proportionate amounts were not so reduced. Any amount reallotted to a State under this subsection during a year from funds appropriated pursuant to section 101 shall be deemed part of its allotment under subsection (a) for such year.
(c)	In accordance with regulations of the Commissioner, any State may file with him a request that a specified portion of its allotment under this title be added to the allotment of another State under this title for the purpose of meeting a portion of the Federal share of the cost of providing community service programs under this title. If it is found by the Commissioner that the programs with respect to which the request is made would meet needs of the State making the request and that use of the specified portion of such State’s allotment, as requested by it, would assist in carrying out the purposes of this title, such portion of such State’s allotment shall be added to the allotment of the other State under this title to be used for the purpose referred to above.
(d)	The population of a State and of all the States shall be determined by the Commissioner on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data available from the Department of Commerce.

If a State desires to designate for the purposes of this section an existing State agency or institution which does not
meet these requirements, it may do so if the agency or institution takes such action as may be necessary to acquire such qualifications and assure participation of such institutions, or if it designates or creates a State advisory council which meets the requirements not met by the designated agency or institution to consult with the designated agency or institution in the preparation of the State plan. A State plan submitted under this title shall be in such detail as the Commissioner deems necessary and shall—
(1)	provides that the agency or institution so designated or created shall be the sole agency for administration of the plan or for supervision of the administration of the plan; and provide that such agency or institution shall consult with any State advisory council required to be created by this section with respect to policy matters arising in the administration of such plan;
(2)	set forth a comprehensive, coordinated, and statewide system of community service programs under which funds paid to the State (including funds paid to an institution pursuant to section 106(c)) under its allotments under section 103 will be expended solely for community service programs which have been approved by the agency or institution administering the plan;
(3)	set forth the policies and procedures to be followed in allocating Federal funds to institutions of higher education in the State, which policies and procedures shall insure that due consideration will be given—
(A)	to the relative capacity and willingness of particular institutions of higher education (whether public or private) to provide effective community service programs;
(B)	to the availability of and need for community service programs among the population within the State; and
(C)	to the results of periodic evaluations of the programs carried out under this title in the light of information regarding current and anticipated community problems in the State;
(4)	set forth policies and procedures designed to assure that Federal funds made available under this title will be so used as not to supplant State or local funds, or funds of institutions of higher education, but to supplement and, to the extent practicable, to increase the amounts of such funds that would in the absence of such Federal funds be made available for community service programs;
(5)	set forth such fiscal control and fund accounting procedures as may be necessary to assure proper disbursement of and accounting for Federal funds paid to the State (including such funds paid by the State or by the Commissioner to institutions of higher education) under this title; and

In determining the cost of developing and carrying out a State’s plan, there shall be excluded any cost with respect to which payments were received under any other Federal program.
(b)	No payments shall be made to any State from its allotments for any fiscal year unless and until the Commissioner finds that the institutions of higher education which will participate in carrying out the State plan for that year will together have available during that year for expenditure from non-Federal sources for college and university extension and continuing education programs not less than the total amount actually expended by those institutions for college and university extension and continuing education programs from such sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, plus an amount equal to not less than the non-Federal share of the costs with respect to which payment pursuant to subsection (a) is sought.
(c)	Payments to a State under this title may be made in installments and in advance or by way of reimbursement with necessary adjustments on account of overpayments or underpayments, and they may be paid directly to the State or to one or more participating institutions of higher education designated for this purpose by the State, or to both.

The Commissioner thereupon shall file in the court the record of the proceedings on which he based his action, as provided in section 2112 of title 28, United States Code.
(b)	The findings of fact by the Commissioner, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive; but the court, for good cause shown, may remand the case to the Commissioner to take further evidence, and the Commissioner may thereupon make new or modified findings of fact and may modify his previous action, and shall certify to the court the record of the further proceedings. Such new or modified findings of fact shall likewise be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.

Advances to nonprofit private institutions and organizations pursuant to subsection (a) may be in such amounts as the Commissioner determines will best achieve the purposes for which they are made, except that the sum of (1) ad

(b) The Commissioner may, if he finds it necessary to do so in order to assure an equitable distribution of the benefits of this part, assign, within the maximum amounts specified in subsection (a), Federal loan insurance quotas applicable to eligible lenders, or to States or areas, and may from time to time reassign unused portions of these quotas.
Limitations on Individual Federally Insured Loans and on Federal Loan Insurance

(b) The insurance liability on any loan insured by the Commissioner under this part shall be 100 per centum of the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the loan.

Federal Payments To Reduce Student Interest Costs
Sec. 428. (a)(1) Each student who has received a loan for study at an eligible institution—
(A)	which is insured by the Commissioner under this part;
(B)	which was made under a State student loan program (meeting criteria prescribed by the Commissioner), and which was contracted for, and paid to the student, within the period specified by paragraph (4); or
(C)	which is insured under a program of a State or of a nonprofit private institution or organization, which was contracted for, and paid to the student, within the period specified in paragraph (4), and which—
(i)	in the case of a loan insured prior to July 1,1967, was made by an eligible lender and is insured under a program which meets the requirements of subparagraph (E) of subsection (b)(1) and provides that repayment of such loan shall be in installments beginning not earlier than sixty days after the student ceases to pursue a course of study (as described in subparagraph (D) of subsection (b)(1)) at an eligible institution, or
(ii)	in the case of a loan insured after June 30, 1967, is insured under a program covered by an agreement made pursuant to subsection (b), and whose adjusted family income is less than $15,000 at the time of execution of the note or written agreement evidencing such loan, shall be entitled to have paid on his behalf and for his account to the holder of the loan, over the period of the loan, a portion of the interest on the loan. For the purposes of this paragraph, the adjusted family income of a student shall be determined pursuant to regulations of the Commissioner in effect at the time of the execution of the note or written agreement evidencing the loan. Such regulations shall provide for taking into account such factors, including family size, as the Commissioner deems appropriate. In the absence of fraud by the lender, such determination
of the adjusted family income of a student shall be final insofar as it concerns the obligation of the Commissioner to pay the holder of a loan a portion of the interest on the loan.
(2)	The portion of the interest on a loan which a student is entitled to have paid on his behalf and for his account to the holder of the loan pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be equal to the total amount of the interest on the unpaid principal amount of the loan which accrues prior to the beginning of the repayment period of the loan, and 3 per centum per annum of the unpaid principal amount of the loan (excluding interest which has been added to principal) thereafter; but such portion of the interest on a loan shall not exceed, for any period, the amount of the interest on that loan which is payable by the student after taking into consideration the amount of any interest on that loan which the student is entitled to have paid on his behalf for that period under any State or private loan insurance program. The holder of a loan with respect to which payments are required to be made under this section shall be deemed to have a contractual right, as against the United States, to receive from the Commissioner the portion of interest which has been so determined. The Commissioner shall pay this portion of the interest to the holder of the loan on behalf of and for the account of the borrower at such times as may be specified in regulations in force when the applicable agreement entered into pursuant to subsection (b) was made, or if the loan was made by a State or is insured under a program which is not covered by such an agreement, at such times as may be specified in regulations in force at the time the loan was paid to the student.
(3)	Each holder of a loan with respect to which payments of interest are required to be made by the Commissioner shall submit to the Commissioner, at such time or times and in such manner as he may prescribe, statements, containing such information as may be required by or pursuant to regulation for the purpose of enabling the Commissioner to determine the amount of the payment which he must make with respect to that loan.
(4)	The period referred to in subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall begin on the date of enactment of this Act and end at the dose of June 30, 1968, except that, in the case of a loan made or insured under a student loan or loan insurance program to enable a student who has obtained a prior loan made or insured under such program to continue his educational program, such period shall end at the close of June 30,1972.
(5)	No payment may be made under this section with respect to the interest on a loan made from a student loan fund established under title II of the National Defense Education Act of 1958.
(6)	In no event shall interest payments with respect to the same student loan be made under both this section and under section 9 of the National Vo

(E)	authorizes interest on the unpaid balance of the loan at a yearly rate not in excess of 6 per centum per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the loan (exclusive of any premium for insurance which may be passed on to the borrower);
(F)	insures not less than 80 per centum of the unpaid principal of loans insured under the program;
(G)	does not provide for collection of an excessive insurance premium;

(I)	provides that a student may obtain insurance under the program for a loan for any year of study at an eligible institution; and
(J)	in the case of a State program, provides that such State program is administered by a single State agency, or by one or more nonprofit private institutions or organizations under the supervision of a single State agency.
(2) Such an agreement shall—
(A)	provide that the holder of any such loan will be required to submit to the Commissioner, at such time or times and in such manner as he may prescribe, statements containing such information as may be required by or pursuant to regulation for the purpose of enabling the Commissioner to determine the amount of the payment which he must make with respect to that loan;
(B)	include such other provisions as may be necessary to protect the financial interest of the United States and promote the purposes of this part and as are agreed to by the Commissioner and the State or nonprofit private organization or institution, as the case may be; and
(C)	provide for making such reports in such form and containing such information as the Commissioner may reasonably require to carry out his function under this part and for keeping such records and for affording such access thereto as the Commissioner may find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.
Certificates of Federal Loan Insurance— Effective Date of Insurance
Sec. 429. (a)(1) If, upon application by an eligible lender, made upon such form, containing such information, and supported by such evidence as the Commissioner may require, and otherwise in conformity with this section, the Commissioner finds that the applicant has made a loan to an eligible student which is insurable under the provisions of this part, he may issue to the applicant a certificate of insurance covering the loan and setting forth the amount and terms of the insurance.
(2)	Insurance evidenced by a certificate of insurance pursuant to subsection (a)(1) shall become effective upon the date of issuance of the certificate, except that the Commissioner is authorized, in accordance with regulations, to issue commitments with respect to proposed loans, or with respect to lines (or proposed lines) of credit, submitted by eligible lenders, and in that event, upon compliance with subsection (a)(1) by the lender, the certificate of insurance may be issued effective as of the date when any loan, or any payment by the lender pursuant to a line of credit, to be covered by such insurance was made. Such insurance shall cease to be effective upon sixty days’ default by the lender in
the payment of any installment of the premiums payable pursuant to subsection (c).
(3)	An application submitted pursuant to subsection (a)(1) shall contain (A) an agreement by the applicant to pay, in accordance with regulations, the premiums fixed by the Commissioner pursuant to subsection (c), and (B) an agreement by the applicant that if the loan is covered by insurance the applicant will submit such supplementary reports and statements during the effective period of the loan agreement, upon such forms, at such times, and containing such information as the Commissioner may prescribe by or pursuant to regulation.
(b)(1) In lieu of requiring a separate insurance application and issuing a separate certificate of insurance for each student loan made by an eligible lender as provided in subsection (a), the Commissioner may, in accordance with regulations consistent with section 424, issue to any eligible lender applying therefor a certificate of comprehensive insurance coverage which shall, without further action by the Commissioner, insure all insurable loans made by that lender, on or after the date of the certificate and before a specified cutoff date, within the limits of an aggregate maximum amount stated in the certificate. Such regulations may provide for conditioning such insurance, with respect to any loan, upon compliance by the lender with such requirements (to be stated or incorporated by reference in the certificate) as in the Commissioner’s judgment will best achieve the purpose of this subsection while protecting the financial interest of the United States and promoting the objectives of this part, including (but not limited to) provisions as to the reporting of such loans and information relevant thereto to the Commissioner and as to the payment of initial and other premiums and the effect of default therein, and including provision for confirmation by the Commissioner from time to time (through endorsement of the certificate) of the coverage of specific new loans by such certificate, which confirmation shall be incontestable by the Commissioner in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation of fact or patent error.
(2) If the holder of a certificate of comprehensive insurance coverage issued under this subsection grants to a student a line of credit extending beyond the cutoff date specified in that certificate, loans or payments thereon made by the holder after that date pursuant to the line of credit shall not be deemed to be included in the coverage of that certificate except as may be specifically provided therein; but, subject to the limitations of section 424, the Commissioner may, in accordance with regulations, make commitments to insure such future loans or payments, and such commitments may be honored either as provided in subsection (a) or by inclusion of such insurance in comprehensive coverage under this subsection for the period or periods in which such future loans or payments are made.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
October 20
each loan under this part a premium in an amount not to exceed one-fourth of 1 per centum per year of the unpaid principal amount of such loan (excluding interest added to principal), payable in advance, at such times and in such manner as may be prescribed by the Commissioner. Such regulations may provide that such premium shall not be payable, or if paid shall be refundable, with respect to any period after default in the payment of principal or interest or after the borrower has died or becomes totally and permanently disabled, if (1) notice of such default or other event has been duly given, and (2) request for payment of the loss insured against has been made or the Commissioner has made such payment on his own motion pursuant to section 430(a).
(d)	The rights of an eligible lender arising under insurance evidenced by a certificate of insurance issued to it under this section may be assigned as security by such lender only to another eligible lender, and subject to regulation by the Commissioner.
(e)	The consolidation of the obigations of two or more federally-insured loans obtained by a student borrower in any fiscal year into a single obligation evidenced by a single instrument of indebtedness shall not affect the insurance by the United States. If the loans thus consolidated are covered by separate certificates of insurance issued under subsection (a), the Commissioner may upon surrender of the original certificates issue a new certificate of insurance in accordance with that subsection upon the consolidated obligation; if they are covered by a single comprehensive certificate issued under subsection (b), the Commissioner may amend that certificate accordingly.
Default, Death, or Disability of Student Under Federal Loan Insurance Program
Sec. 430. (a) Upon default by the student borrower on any loan covered by Federal loan insurance pursuant to this part, or upon the death of the student borrower or a finding by the insurance beneficiary that the borrower has become totally and permanently disabled (as determined in accordance with regulations established by the Commissioner) before the loan has been repaid in full, and prior to the commencement of suit or other enforcement proceeding upon security for that loan, the insurance beneficiary shall promptly notify the Commissioner, and the Commissioner shall if requested (at that time or after further collection efforts) by the beneficiary, or may on his own motion, if the insurance is still in effect, pay to the beneficiary the amount of the loss sustained, by the insured upon that loan as soon as that amount has been determined. The “amount of the loss” on any loan shall, for the purposes of this subsection and subsection (b), be deemed to be an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the loan (other than interest added to principal).
(b)	Upon payment by the Commissioner of the amount of the loss pursuant to subsection (a), the United States shall
be subrogated to all of the rights of the holder of the obligation upon the insured loan and shall be entitled to an assignment of the note or other evidence of the insured loan by the insurance beneficiary. If the net recovery made by the Commissioner on a loan after deduction of the cost of that recovery (including reasonable administrative costs) exceeds the amount of the loss, the excess shall be paid over to the insured.
(c)	Nothing in this section or in this part shall be construed to preclude any forbearance for the benefit of the student borrower which may be agreed upon by the parties to the insured loan and approved by the Commissioner, or to preclude forbearance by the Commissioner in the enforcement of the insured obligation after payment on that insurance, or to require collection of the amount of any loan by the insurance beneficiary or by the Commissioner from the estate of a deceased borrower or from a borrower found by the insurance beneficiary to have become permanently and totally disabled.
(d)	Nothing in this section or in this part shall be construed to excuse the holder of a federally insured loan from exercising reasonable care and diligence in the making and collection of loans under the provisions of this part. If the Commissioner, after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing to an eligible lender, finds that it has substantially failed to exercise such care and diligence or to make the reports and statements required under section 428(a) (3) and section 429(a) (3), or to pay the required Federal loan insurance premiums, he shall disqualify that lender for further Federal insurance on loans granted pursuant to this part until he is satisfied that its failure has ceased and finds that there is reasonable assurance that the lender will in the future exercise necessary care and diligence or comply with such requirements, as the case may be.
(e)	As used in this section—
(1)	the term “insurance beneficiary” means the insured or its authorized assignee in accordance with section 429(d); and
(2)	the term “default” includes only such defaults as have existed for (A) one hundred and twenty days in the case of a loan which is repayable in monthly installments, or (B) one hundred and eighty days in the case of a loan which is repayable in less frequent installments.

Sec. 431.

moneys, property, or assets derived by the Commissioner from his operations in connection with this section, shall be deposited in the fund. All payments in connection with the default of loans insured by the Commissioner under this part shall be paid from the fund. Moneys in the fund not needed for current operations under this section may be invested in bonds or other obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States.
(b) If at any time the moneys in the fund are insufficient to make payments in connection with the default of any loan insured by the Commissioner under this part, the Commissioner is authorized to issue to the Secretary of the Treasury notes or other obligations in such forms and denominations, bearing .such maturities, and subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Commsisioner with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. Such notes or other obligations shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of comparable maturities during the month preceding the issuance of the notes or other obligations. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase any notes and other obligations issued hereunder and for that purpose he is authorized to use as a public debt transaction the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended, and the purposes for which securities may be issued under that Act, as amended, are extended to include any purchases of such notes and obligations. The Secretary of the Treasury may at any time sell any of the notes or other obligations acquired by him under this subsection. All redemptions, purchases, and sales by the Secretary of the Treasury of such notes or other obligations shall be treated as public debt transactions of the United States. Sums borrowed under this subsection shall be deposited in the fund and redemption of such notes and obligations shall be made by the Commissioner from such fund.
Legal Powers and Responsibilities
Sec. 432. (a) In the performance of, and with respect to, the functions, powers, and duties vested in him by this part, the Commissioner may—
(1)	prescribe such regulations as may be necesary to carry out the purposes of this part;
(2)	sue and be sued in any court of record of a State having general jurisdiction or in any district court of the United States, and such district courts shall have jurisdiction of civil actions arising under this part without regard to the amount in controversy, and any action instituted under this subsection by or against the Commissioner shall survive notwithstanding any change in the person occupying the office of Commissioner or any vacancy in that office; but no attachment, injunction, garnishment, or other similar process,

(a)(1) Of the funds appropriated pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of section 601 for any fiscal year one-half shall be allotted by the Commissioner among the States so that the allotment to each State will be an amount which bears the same ratio to such one-half as the number of students enrolled in institutions of higher education in such State bears to the total number of students enrolled in such institutions in all the States; and the remaining one-half shall be allotted by him among the States in accordance with paragraph (2) of this subsection. For the purposes of
1965	JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

Amounts reallotted under this subsection shall be available for reservation until the close of the fiscal year next succeeding the fiscal year for which they were originally allotted.
State Commissions and Plans
Sec. 603. Any State desiring to participate in the program under this part shall designate for that purpose an existing State agency which is broadly representative of the public and of institutions of higher education in the State, or, if no such State agency exists, shall establish such a State agency, and submit to the Commissioner through the agency so designated or established (hereafter in this part referred to as the “State commission”), a State plan for such participation. The Commission shall approve any such plan which—
(1)	provides that it shall be administered by the State commission;
(2)	sets forth, consistently with basic criteria prescribed by regulation pursuant to section 604, objective standards and methods (A) for determining the relative priorities of eligible projects for the acquisition of laboratory and other special equipment (other than supplies consumed in use), including audiovisual materials and equipment for classrooms or audiovisual centers, and printed and published materials (other than textbooks ) for classrooms or libraries, suitable for use in providing education in science, mathematics, foreign languages, history, geography, government, English, other humanities, the arts, or education at the undergraduate level in institutions of higher education, and minor remodeling of classroom or other space used for such materials or equipment; (B) for determining relative priorities of eligible projects for (i) the acquisition of television equipment for closed-circuit direct instruction in such fields in such institutions (including equipment for fixed-service instructional television, as defined by the Federal Communications Commission, but not including broadcast transmission equipment), (ii) the acquisition of necessary instructional materials for use in such television instruction, and (iii) minor remodeling necessary for such television equipment; and (C) for determining the Federal share of the cost of each such project;

933
the State plan, of the cost of the project involved;
(4)	provides for affording to every applicant, which has submitted to the State commission a project, an opportunity for a fair hearing before the commission as to the priority assigned to such project or as to any other determination of the commission adversely affecting such applicant; and

Basic Criteria for Determining Priorities, Federal Share, and Maintenance of Effort
Sec. 604. (a) As soon as practicable after the enactment of this Act the Commissioner shall by regulation prescribe basic criteria to which the provisions of State plans setting forth standards and methods for determining relative priorities of eligible projects, and the application of such standards and methods to such projects under such plans, shall be subject. Such basic criteria (1) shall be such as will best tend to achieve the objectives of this part while leaving opportunity and flexibility for the development of State plan standards and methods that will best accommodate the varied needs of institutions in the several States, and (2) shall give special consideration to the financial need of the institution. Subject to the foregoing requirements, such regulations may establish additional and appropriate basic criteria, including provision for considering the degree to which applicant institutions are effectively utilizing existing facilities and equipment, provision for allowing State plans to group or provide for grouping, in a reasonable manner, facilities or institutions according to functional or educational type for priority purposes, and, in view of the national objectives of this Act, provision for considering the degree to which the institution serves students from two or more States or from outside the United States; and in no event shall an institution’s readiness to admit such out-of-State students be considered as a priority factor adverse to such institution.
(b) The Federal share for the purposes of this part shall not exceed 50 per centum of the cost of the project, except that a State commission may increase such share to not to exceed 80 per centum of such cost in the case of any institution proving insufficient resources to participate in the program under this part and inability to acquire such resources. An institution of higher education shall be eligible for a grant for a project pursuant to this part in any fiscal year only if such institution will expend during such year for the same purposes as, but not pursuant to, this part an amount at least equal to the amount ex
934
pended by such institution for such purposes during the previous fiscal year. The Commissioner shall establish basic criteria for making determinations under this subsection.
Applications for Grants and Conditions for Approval
Sec. 605. (a) Institutions of higher education which desire to obtain grants under this part shall submit applications therefor at such time or times and in such manner as may be prescribed by the Commissioner, and such applications shall contain such information as may be required by or pursuant to regulation for the purpose of enabling the Commissioner to make the determinations required to be made by him under this part.

(1)	the project has been approved and recommended by the appropriate State commission;
(2)	the State commission has certified to the Commissioner, in accordance with the State plan, the Federal share of the cost of the project, and sufficient funds to pay such Federal share are available from the applicable allotment of the State (including any applicable reallotment to the State);
(3)	the project has, pursuant to the State plan, been assigned a priority that is higher than that of all other projects within such State (chargeable to the same allotment) which meet all the requirements of this section (other than this clause) and for which Federal funds have not yet been reserved;
(4)	the Commissioner determines that the project will be undertaken in an economical manner and will not be overly elaborate or extravagant; and

(A)	that Federal funds received by the applicant will be used solely for defraying the cost of the project covered by such application,
(B)	that sufficient funds will be available to meet the non-Federal portion of such cost and to provide for the effective use of the equipment upon completion, and
(C)	that the institution will meet the maintenance of effort requirement in section 604(b).
(b) Amendments of applications shall, except as the Commissioner may otherwise provide by or pursuant to regulation, be subject to approval in the same manner as original applications.
Amount of Grant—Payment
Sec. 606. Upon his approval of any application for a grant under this part, the Commissioner shall reserve from the applicable allotment (including any applicable reallotment) available therefor, the amount of such grant, which (subject to the limits of such allotment or reallotment) shall be equal to the Federal
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
share of the cost of the project covered by such application. The Commissioner shall pay such reserved amount, in advance or by way of reimbursement, and in such installments as he may determine. The Commissioner’s reservation of any amount under this section may be amended by him, either upon approval of an amendment of the application covering such project or upon revision of the estimated cost of a project with respect to which such reservation was made, and in the event of an upward revision of such estimated cost approved by him he may reserve the Federal share of the added cost only from the applicable allotment (or reallotment) available at the time of such approval.
Administration of State Plans
Sec. 607. (a) The Commissioner shall not finally disapprove any State plan submitted under this part, or any modification thereof, without first affording the State commission submitting the plan reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing.

(1)	that the State plan has been so changed that it no longer complies with the provisions of section 603, or
(2)	that in the administration of the plan there is a failure to comply substantially with any such provision, the Commissioner shall notify such State commission that the State will not be regarded as eligible to participate in the program under this part until he is satisfied that there is no longer any such failure to comply.
Judicial Review
Sec. 608. (a) If any State is dissatisfied with the Commissioner’s final action with respect to the approval of its State plan submitted under this part or with his final action under section 607, such State may appeal to the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which such State is located. The summons and notice of appeal may be served at any place in the United States. The Commissioner shall forthwith certify and file in the court the transcript of the proceedings and the record on which he based his action.
(b)	The findings of fact by the Commissioner, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive; but the court, for good cause shown, may remand the case to the Commissioner to take further evidence, and the Commissioner may thereupon make new or modified findings of fact and may modify his previous action, and shall certify to the court the transcript and record of the further proceedings. Such new or modified findings of fact shall likewise be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.
(c)	The court shall have jurisdiction to affirm the action of the Commissioner or to set it aside, in whole or in part. The judgment of the court shall be subject to review by the Supreme Court of
October 20
the United States upon certiorari or certification as provided in title 28, United States Code, section 1254.

“(2) From each State’s allotment under this section for any fiscal year, the Secretary shall pay to such State a portion of the cost of approved projects for vocational rehabilitation services (including their administration) under the State plan which (A) provide for the development of methods or techniques, which are new in the State, for providing vocational rehabilitation services for handicapped individuals, or (B) are specially designed for development of, or provision for, new or expanded vocational rehabilitation services for groups of handicapped individuals having disabilities which are catastrophic or particularly severe. The Secretary shall approve any project for purposes of this section only if the plan of such State approved under section 5 includes such project or is modified to include it.

The story of man’s advancement through the ages is the story of man’s victory over the forces of nature. The health and comfort he enjoys, the leisure he possesses, and the abundance of the food he eats are all the result of his unending determination to probe the secrets of the world around him.
In 1958, it was my privilege to introduce the legislation to create the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I stated then: “I confidently believe that the developments of the space age will bring the beginning of the longest and greatest boom of abundance and prosperity in the history of man.”
Time is bearing out that belief.
And so I take pleasure in submitting this report to Congress. It chronicles a great and exciting period of accomplishment and foreshadows an even greater one. In commending this record, I also commend the men principally responsible for making it possible. Dr. James Webb and Dr. Hugh Dryden have guided and directed our Nation’s space program for nearly 5 years—and they have a grateful Nation in their debt.
Lyndon B. Johnson.

REPORT OF HOUSING AND HOME FINANCE AGENCY
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Banking and Currency;
To the Congress of the United States:
The Housing Act of 1954 directs that I transmit to Congress the annual report of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, covering activities for calendar year 1964.
This report confirms the wisdom of 15 Congresses and 5 administrations going back to 1934. The great Franklin D. Roosevelt first pleaded with the Congress to approve housing measures for the good of all Americans.
Consider what has been done for America by the U.S. Government’s housing programs:
$100 billion of FHA mortgage insurance loans has been written, covering more than 7 million homes and more than 1 million rental units.
700,000 public housing units have been constructed since the start of that program in 1937. Two million people are living in those units in more than 2,000 communities.
More than 600,000 college students are living in dormitories made possible by Government loans.
$4.3 billion has been made available for urban renewal.
4,500 communities—mostly small towns—have received urban planning assistance.
$300 million of Government credit has gone into smalltown water and sewer facilities.
These programs were not easily begun. Cries of “socialism” and “waste” surrounded them at their birth. False propaganda and misrepresentation were used to discredit those who were to administer them. Cynicism and self-interest preyed on fear of the new and the imaginative.
But without these programs we would never have been able to push back the frontiers of blight, disease, and ugliness that 30 years ago afflicted one-third of a nation. Without them the task of building a clean and safe America would have been impossible.
Today our people accept these programs. Private enterprise and public well-being depend on them. We know now that the programs—and new approaches demanded by logic and vision— are needed to meet the challenges that confront us as hour by hour we become a more urban nation.
In 1965 I requested authority for a new means of housing low-income families. We proposed to encourage private organizations to build thousands of new apartments and houses for poor people who could not afford safe or decent housing. We proposed to help these private builders provide housing for the elderly, the poor, and the handicapped, so that they might live with safety and dignity.
Congress accepted this proposal.
Yet when the time came to provide the
funds for this program, the old voices of doubt and misunderstanding were raised once more. Allegations were made that had no basis in fact. Insinuations were raised that obscured the basic purposes of the act.
For the time being, those voices have prevailed. No program funds were granted.
The national interest demands that the matter not stop there. Thousands of American families need this housing now—today. Thousands of poor children who should grow up in a world of safety and decency and promise are being treated with indifference by an affluent nation.
Next January I shall once more ask for the initial $30 million necessary to make bricks and mortar out of a promise. I am confident that the Congress will cut through the propaganda of fear and mistrust to provide shelter for the families who need it now—today. We who have raised up hopes have a duty to bring them to tangible reality.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The White House, October 22, 1965.

(4)	Subsections (d), (e), and (/) are hereby amended and subsection (g) is added to read as follows :
“(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act—
“(1)(A) During the current period of suspension of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, the quota provided for Cuba under subsection (c) shall be withheld and a quantity of sugar equal to such quota shall be prorated as follows:
“(i) any quantity of quota withheld from Cuba at a determination up to and including the amount of ten million short tons, raw value, under section 201 shall be prorated to other foreign countries named in paragraph (3) of subsection (c) on the basis of the percentages stated therein; and, in addition,
“(ii) any quantity of quota withheld from Cuba at a determination in excess of the amount of ten million short tons, raw value, under section 201, shall be prorated to other foreign countries named in paragraph (3)(A) of subsection (c) that are members of the Organization of American States on the basis of the percentages stated therein. “(B) Whenever and to the extent that the President finds that the establishment or continuation of a quota or any part thereof for any foreign country would be contrary to the national interest of the United States, such quota or part thereof shall be withheld or suspended, and such importation shall not be permitted. A quantity of sugar equal to the amount of any quota so withheld or suspended
shall be prorated to the other countries listed in subsection (c)(3)(A) (other than any country whose quota is withheld or suspended) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries.
“(C) The quantities of sugar prorated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall be designated as temporary quotas and the term ‘quota’ as defined in this Act shall include a temporary quota established under this subsection.
“(2) (A) Whenever the Secretary finds that it is not practicable to obtain the quantity of sugar needed from foreign countries to meet any increase during the year in the requirements of consumers under section 201 by apportionment to countries pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) and the foregoing provisions of this subsection, such quantity of sugar may be imported on a first-come, first-served basis from any foreign country, except that no sugar shall be authorized for importation from Cuba until the United States resumes diplomatic relations with that country and no sugar shall be authorized for importation hereunder from any foreign country with respect to which a finding by the President is in effect under paragraph (1) (B) of this subsection: Provided, That such finding shall not be made in the first nine months of the year unless the Secretary also finds that limited sugar supplies and increases in prices have created or may create an emergency situation significantly interfering with the orderly movement of foreign raw sugar to the United States. In authorizing the importation of such sugar the Secretary shall give special consideration to countries which agree to purchase for dollars additional quantities of United States agricultural products. In the event that the requirements of consumers under section 201 are thereafter reduced in the same calendar year, an amount not exceeding such increase in requirements shall be deducted pro rata from the quotas established pursuant to subsection (c) and this subsection.
“(B) Sugar imported under the authority of this paragraph (2) shall be raw sugar, except that if the Secretary determines that the total quantity is not reasonably available as raw sugar, he may authorize the importation for direct consumption of so much of such quantity as he determines may be required to meet the requirements of consumers in the United States.
“(3) No quota shall be established for any country, other than the Bahama Islands, Bolivia, Honduras, and Ireland, for the year following a period of twenty-four months, ending June 30 prior to the establishment of quotas for such year, in which its aggregate imports of sugar equaled or exceeded its aggregate exports of sugar from such country to countries other than the United States.
“(4) Whenever in any calendar year any foreign country fails, subject to such reasonable tolerance as the Secretary may determine, to fill the quota as established for it pursuant to this Act, the quota for such country for subsequent
calendar years shall be reduced by the smaller of (i) the amount by which such country failed to fill such quota or (ii) the amount by which its exports of sugar to the United States in the year such quota was not filed was less than 115 per centum of such quota for the preceding calendar year: Provided, That (i) no such reduction shall be made if the country has notified the Secretary before August 1 of such year (or, with respect to events occurring thereafter, as soon as practicable after such event), of the likelihood of such failure and the Secretary finds that such failure was due to crop disaster or other force majeure, unless such country exported sugar in such year to a country other than the United States, in which case the reduction in quota for the subsequent years shall be limited to the amount of such exports, as determined by the Secretary, and (ii) in no event shall the quota for the Republic of the Philippines be reduced to an amount less than nine hundred and eighty thousand short tons, raw value, of sugar.
“(5) Any reduction in a quota because of the requirements of paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection shall be prorated to other foreign countries in the same manner as deficits are prorated under section 204 of this Act. For purposes of determining unfilled portions of quotas, entries of sugar from a foreign country shall be prorated between the temporary quota established pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection and the quota established pursuant to subsection (c).
“(6) If any foreign country fails to give assurance to the Secretary, on or before December 31, 1965, that such country will fill the quota as established for it under subsection (c)(3) and paragraph (1) of this subsection for years after 1965, the quota for such country for such years shall be reduced to the amount which the country gives assurance that it will fill for such years. The portion of the quota for such country for which such assurance is not given shall be withdrawn for such years and a quantity of sugar equal to such portion shall be prorated to other foreign countries in the same manner as deficits are prorated under section 204 of this Act. For purposes of applying paragraph (4) of this subsection, any reduction in the quota of a foreign country under this paragraph shall be disregarded.
“(e) Whenever the President finds that it is no longer contrary to the national interest of the United States to reestablish a quota or part thereof withheld or suspended under subsection (d) (1) of this section, and, in the case of Cuba, diplomatic relations have been resumed by the United States, such quota shall be restored in the manner the President finds appropriate: Provided, That the entire amount of such quota shall be restored for the third full calendar year following such finding by the President. The temporary quotas established pursuant to subsection (d)(1) shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this section, be reduced pro rata to the extent necessary to restore

the quota in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
“(f) Whenever any quota is required to be reduced pursuant to subsection (e) or because of a reduction in the requirements of consumers under section 201 of this Act, and the amount of sugar imported from any country or marketed from any area at the time of such reduction exceeds the reduced quota, the amount of such excess shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this section, be deducted from the quota established for such country or domestic area for the next succeeding calendar year.
“(g) The Secretary is authorized to limit, through the use of limitations applied on a quarterly basis only, the importation of sugar within the quota for any foreign country during the first and second quarters of any calendar year whenever he determines that such limitation is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Act: Provided, That this subsection shall not operate to reduce the quantity of sugar permitted to be imported for any calendar year from any country below its quota, including deficits allocated to it, for that year.
“(h) The quota established for any foreign country and the quantity authorized to be imported from any country under subsection (d) (2) of this section may be filed only with sugar produced from sugarbeets or sugarcane grown in such country.”
Sec. 4. Section 204 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended to read as follows:
“Sec. 204. (a) The Secretary shall from time to time determine whether, in view of the current inventories of sugar, the estimated production from the acreage of sugarcane or sugarbeets planted, the normal marketings within a calendar year of new-crop sugar, and other pertinent factors, any area or country will be unable to market the quota for such area or country. If the Secretary determines that any domestic area or foreign country listed in section 202(c)(3) (A) will be unable to market its quota, he shall revise the quota for the Republic of the Philippines by allocating to it an amount of sugar equal to 47.22 per centum of the deficit, and shall allocate an amount of sugar equal to the remainder of the deficit to the countries listed in section 202(c)(3)(A) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries: Provided, That any deficit resulting from the inability of a country which is a member of the Central American Common Market to fill its quota shall first be allocated to the other member countries on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries: And provided further, That if any quota is restored to Cuba, the maximum per centum of 47.22 of the deficit to be allocated to the Republic of the Philippines shall be reduced to a per centum equal to that which the Philippine quota under subsection (b) of section 202 bears to the sum of such Philippine quota and the quotas then in effect for all foreign countries pursuant to subsection (c) of section 202. If the Secretary determines the Republic of the Philippines will be
unable to fill its share of any deficit determined under the the foregoing provisions of this subsection, he shall allocate such unfilled amount to the countries listed in section 202(c)(3)(A) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries. If the Secretary determines that neither the Republic of the Philippines nor the countries listed in section 202(c)(3)(A) can fill all of any such deficit, he shall apportion such unfilled amount on such basis and to such foreign countries as he determines is required to fill such deficit. If the Secretary determines that any foreign country with a quota established pursuant to section 202(c)(3)(B) or section 202(c) (4) will be unable to market the quota for such area or country, he shall revise the quota for the Republic of the Philippines by allocating to it an amount of sugar equal to 47.22 per centum of the deficit, and shall allocate an amount of sugar equal to the remainder of the deficit to the countries listed in section 202 (c)(3)(B) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries: Provided, That if any quota is restored to Cuba, the maximum per centum of 47.22 of the deficit to be allocated to the Republic of the Philippines shall be reduced to a per centum equal to that which the Philippine quota under subsection (b) of section 202 bears to the sum of such Philippine quota and the quotas then in effect for all foreign countries pursuant to subsection (c) of section 202. If the Secretary determines the Republic of the Philippines will be unable to fill its share of any deficit determined for any country listed in section 202(c)(3)(B), he shall allocate such unfilled amount to the countries so listed on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries. If the Secretary determines that neither the Republic of the Philippines nor the countries listed in section 202(c)(3)(B) can fill all of any such deficit, he shall apportion such unfilled amount on such basis and to such foreign countries as he determines is required to fill such deficit. If the Secretary determines that the Republic of the Philippines will be unable to market its quota, he shall allocate an amount of sugar equal to the deficit to the countries listed in section 202 (c)(3) on the basis of the quotas then in effect for such countries. Deficits shall not be allocated to any country whose quota has been suspended or withheld pursuant to subsection (d)(1) of section 202. The Secretary shall insofar as practicable determine and allocate deficits so as to assure the availability of the sugar for importation during the calendar year. In any event, any deficit, so far as then known, shall be determined and allocated by August 1 of the calendar year. In making allocations for foreign countries within the Western Hemisphere under this subsection, special consideration shall be given to those countries purchasing United States agricultural commodities. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, if the President determines that such action would be in the national interest, any part of a deficit which would otherwise be allocated to countries listed in
section 202(c) may be allocated to one or more of such countries with a quota in effect on such basis as the President finds appropriate.
“(b) The quota established for any domestic area or any foreign country under section 202 shall not be reduced by reason of any determination of a deficit existing in any calendar year under subsection (a) of this section: Provided, That the quota for any foreign country shall be reduced to the extent that it has notified the Secretary that it cannot fill its quota and the Secretary has found under section 202 (d)(4) that such failure was due to crop disaster or other force majeure.”
Sec. 5. Section 205 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended, (1) by inserting after the third sentence thereof the following new sentence: “The Secretary is also authorized in making such allotments of a quota for any calendar year to take into consideration, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing factors of processing, past marketings, and ability to market, the need for establishing an allotment which will permit such marketing of sugar as is necessary for the reasonably efficient operation of any nonaffiliated single plant processor of sugarbeets or any processor of sugarcane and as may be necessary to avoid unreasonable carryover of sugar in relation to other processors in the area: Provided, That the marketing allotment of any such processor of sugarbeets shall not be increased under this provision above an allotment of twenty-five thousand short tons, raw value, and the marketing allotment of a processor of sugarcane shall not be increased under this provision above an allotment equal to the effective inventory of sugar of such processor on January 1 of the calendar year for which such allotment is made, except that the marketing allotment for 1965 of any processor of sugarcane, other than a processor-refiner, may, in the discretion of the Secretary, be increased by an additional six thousand two hundred short tons of sugar, raw value: Provided, further, That the total increases in marketing allotments made pursuant to this sentence to processors in the domestic beet sugar area shall be limited to twenty-five thousand short tons of sugar, raw value, for each calendar year and to processors in the mainland cane sugar area shall be limited to sixteen thousand short tons of sugar, raw value, for each calendar year”; and (2), by adding at the end of subsection (a) the following sentence: “If allotments are in effect at the time of a reduction in a domestic area quota for any year, the amount marketed by a person in excess of the amount of his allotment as reduced in conformity with the reduction in the quota shall not be taken into consideration in establishing an allotment in the next succeeding year for such person, and any allotment established for such person for the next succeeding year shall be reduced by such excess amount.”
Sec. 6. Section 206 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended to read as follows:

“Sec. 206. (a) If the Secretary determines that the -prospective importation of bringing into the continental United States, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico of any sugar-containing product or mixture will substantially interfere with the attainment of the objectives of this Act, he may limit the quantity of such product or mixture to be imported or brought in from any country or area to a quantity which he determines will not so interfere: Provided, That the quantity to be imported or brought in from any country or area in any calendar year shall not be reduced below the average of the quantities of such product or mixture annually imported or brought in during the most recent three consecutive years for which reliable data of the importation or bringing in of such product or mixture are available.
"(b) In the event the Secretary determines that the prospective importation or bringing into the continental United States, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, of any sugar-containing product or mixture will substantially interfere with the attainment of the objectives of this Act and there are no reliable data available of such importation or bringing in of such product or mixture for three consecutive years, he may limit the quantity of such product to be imported or brought in annually from any country or area to a quantity which the Secretary determines will not substantially interfere with the attainment of the objectives of the Act, provided that such quantity from any one country or area shall not be less than a quantity containing one hundred short tons, raw value of sugar or liquid sugar.
"(c) In determining whether the actual or prospective importation or bringing into the continental United States, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico of a quantity of a sugar-containing product or mixture will or will not substantially interfere with the attainment of the objectives of this Act, the Secretary shall take into consideration the total sugar content of the product or mixture in relation to other ingredients or to the sugar content of other products or mixtures for similar use, the costs of the mixture in relation to the costs of its ingredients for use in the continental United States, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, the present or prospective volume of importations relative to past importations, the type of packaging, whether it will be marketed to the ultimate consumer in the identical form in which it is imported or the extent to which it is to be further subjected to processing or mixing with similar or other ingredients, and other pertinent information which will assist him in making such determination. In making determinations pursuant to this section, the Secretary shall conform to the rulemaking requirements of section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act."
Sec. 7. Subsections (d) cmd(e) of section 207 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, are amended as follows:

(1)	Paragraph (1) of subsection (b) is amended to read as follows:
“(b)(1) The Secretary shall determine for each crop year whether the production of sugar from any crop of sugarbeets or sugarcane will, in the absence of proportionate shares, be greater than the quantity needed to enable the area to meet its quota and provide a normal carryover inventory, as estimated by the Secretary for such area for the calendar year during which the larger part of the sugar from such crop normally would be marketed. Such determination shall be made only with respect to the succeeding crop year and, beginning with the 1966 crop year, only after due notice and opportunity for an informal public hearing. If the Secretary determines that the production of sugar from any crop of sugarbeets or sugarcane will be in excess of the quantity needed to enable the area to meet its quota and provide a normal
carryover inventory, he shall establish proportionate shares for farms in such areas as provided in this subsection, except that the determinations by the Secretary of proportionate shares for farms in Hawaii and the Virgin Islands in effect on January 1, 1965, shall continue in effect until amended or superseded. In determining the proportionate shares with respect to a farm, the Secretary may take into consideration the past production on the farm of sugarbeets and sugarcane marketed (or processed) for the extraction of sugar or liquid sugar (within proportionate shares when in effect) and the ability to produce such sugarbeets and sugarcane.”
(2)	The first sentence of paragraph (3) of subsection (b) is amended to read as follows: “In order to make available acreage for growth and expansion of the beet sugar industry, the Secretary in addition to protecting the interest of new and small producers by regulations generally similar to those heretofore promulgated by him pursuant to this Act, shall reserve each year from 1962 through 1966, inclusive, from the national sugarbeet acreage requirement established by him, the acreage required to yield sixty-five thousand short tons, raw value, of sugar."

The proportionate share acreage so released may be reallotted to other farm operators (or farms), but no production history shall accrue to such other farm operators (or farms) by virtue of such reallocation of the proportionate share acreage so released.
“(9) The Secretary is authorized to reserve from the national sugarbeet acreage requirements for the 1966, 1967, and 1968 crops of sugarbeets a total acreage estimated to yield not more than twenty-five thousand short tons, raw value, for each such crop to provide any nonaffiliated single plant processor of sugarbeets with an estimated quantity of sugar for marketing of not to exceed twenty-five thousand short tons of sugar, raw value. The Secretary is also authorized to reserve from the acreage which would otherwise be allocated to sugarcane producers in the mainland cane sugar area for the 1965 and 1966 crops of sugar

cane a total acreage estimated to yield not more than sixteen thousand short tons of sugar, raw value for each such crop which shall be allocated to relieve hardship on the part of new producers in such manner as the Secretary may determine: Provided, That acreage allocated hereunder for the 1965 crop shall be in addition to the total acreage heretofore allocated in such area for the 1965 crop. The Secretary shall allocate the acreage provided for in this paragraph to farms on such basis as he determines necessary to accomplish the purposes for which such acreages are provided under this paragraph.”
Sec. 12. (1) Subsection (b) of section 402 of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended by adding the following sentence thereto: “The Secretary is authorized to use the services, facilities, and authorities of Commodity Credit Corporation for the purpose of making disbursements to persons eligible to receive payments under title III of this Act: Provided, That no such disbursements shall be made by Commodity Credit Corporation unless it has received funds to cover the amounts thereof from appropriations available for the purpose of carrying out such program.”
(2)	Subsection (a) of section 408 of such Act is amended by adding the following at the end thereof: “During any period that the operation of the provisions of title II is so suspended by the President, the Secretary shall estimate for each year the amount of sugar needed to meet requirements of consumers in the United States and the amount the quota for each country would be if calculated on the basis as provided in section 202 of this Act. Notice of such estimate and quota calculation shall be published in the Federal Register. If any country fails to import into the continental United States within the quota year, an amount of sugar equal to the amount the quota would be as calculated for such country by the Secretary for such year, the quota established for such country in subsequent years under the provisions of title II shall be reduced as provided in section 202(d)(4) of this Act: Provided, That quotas for subsequent years shall not be reduced when quotas are suspended under this subsection and reestablished in the same calendar year.”
(3)	Subsection (b) of section 408 of such Act is amended by striking out the last sentence thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the following: “Any quantity so suspended shall be allocated in the same manner as deficits are allocated under the provisions of section 204 of this Act”
