JOINT RESOLUTION To create a joint committee to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the first inaugural of Abraham Lincoln.

March 1, 1961

[H. J. Res. 155]

 Whereas Saturday, March 4, 1961, will mark the centenary of Abraham Lincoln’s taking the oath of office as sixteenth President of the United States; and Whereas the anniversary will be widely observed and noted throughout this land and overseas; and Whereas the occasion will coincide with exercises commemorative of the American Civil War of 1861–1865; and Whereas Mr. Lincoln stood at the head of the Government of the United States and its Armed Forces during those years of tragedy and travail; and Whereas he foresaw the difficulty of the task before him as “greater than that which rested on Washington”; and Whereas he sought the guidance of Almighty God, saying, “Without the assistance of that Divine Being … I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.”; and Whereas one who stood in the audience at his first inauguration would later write, “the shouts which have resounded for him at the Capitol are still ringing in my ears.”; and Whereas from a wooden platform, projected from the eastern portico, beneath an unfinished dome, he pleaded and reasoned that day for reconciliation and the preservation of the Union, saying: 3 75 Stat. 4

“I take the official oath today, with no mental reservations, and with no purpose to construe the Constitution or laws, by any hypercritical rules …. I hold, that in contemplation of universal law, and of the Constitution, the Union of these States is perpetual …. It is safe to say that no government proper, ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination …. Before entering upon so grave a matter as the destruction of our national fabric, with all its benefits, its memories, and its hopes, would it not be wise to ascertain precisely why we do it? Will you hazard so desperate a step, while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from, have no real existence? Will you, while the certain ills you fly to, are greater than all the real ones you fly from? Will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake? … Physically speaking, we cannot separate. We cannot remove our respective sections from each other, nor build an impassable wall between them. A husband and wire may be divorced, and go out of the presence, and beyond the reach of each other; but the different parts of our country cannot do this. They cannot but remain face to face; and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them …. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”; and

 Whereas the better angels do, in fact, touch us: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration.

Centennial.

That on Saturday, March 4 next, the one hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration shall be commemorated by such observance as may be determined by the committee on arrangements in cooperation with the national Civil War Centennial Commission, the Civil War Centennial Commission of the District of Columbia, and the Lincoln Group of the District of Columbia.

Act, as amended, is amended by adding the following new subsection: “(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law— “(1) The Secretary shall formulate and carry out a special agricultural conservation program for 1961, 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 in amounts determined by the Secretary to be fair and reasonable shall be made to producers who divert acreage from the production of corn and grain sorghums to an approved conservation use and increase their average acreage devoted in 1959 and 1960 to designated soil conserving crops or practices by an equal amount: Provided, however, That any producer may elect in lieu of such payment to devote such diverted acreage to castor beans, safflower, sunflower, or sesame, if designated by the Secretary. Such special agricultural conservation program shall require the producer to take such measures as the Secretary may deem appropriate to keep such diverted acreage free from insects, weeds, and rodents. The acreage eligible for payments in cash or in an equivalent amount in kind under such conservation program shall be an acreage 75 Stat. 7equivalent to 20 per centum of the average acreage on the farm planted to corn and grain sorghums in the crop years 1959 and 1960 or up to twenty acres, whichever is greater.

Payments in kind only may be made by the Secretary for the diversion of up to an additional 20 per centum of such corn and grain sorghum acreage. Payments in kind on such additional acreage may be made at the basic county support rate on an amount of corn and grain sorghums not in excess of 60 per centum of the normal production of the acreage diverted from corn and grain sorghums on the farm based on its average yield per acre for the 1959 and 1960 crop acreage. The Secretary may make such adjustments in acreage and yields for the 1959 and 1960 crop years as he determines necessary to correct for abnormal factors affecting production, and to give due consideration to tillable acreage, crop rotation practices, type of soil, and topography. The Secretary may make not to exceed 50 per centum of any payments to producers in advance of determination of performance. “(2) There are hereby authorized to be appropriated such amounts as may be necessary to enable the Secretary to carry out this section 16(c). Obligations may be incurred in advance of appropriations therefor and the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to advance from its capital funds such sums as may be necessary to pay administrative expenses in connection with such program during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1961, and to pay such costs as may be included in carrying out section 3 of the Act which added this subsection to this Act. “(3) 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.”

Payment by certificates.

 certificates which the Commodity Credit Corporation shall redeem for feed grains 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 at such time and in such manner as the Secretary determines will best effectuate the purposes of the 1961 Feed Grain Program authorized by this Act. In the case of any certificate not presented for redemption within 30 days of the date of its issuance, reasonable costs of storage and other carrying charges, as determined by the Secretary, for the period beginning 30 days after its issuance and ending with the date of its presentation for redemption shall be deducted from the value of the certificate.

National Public Advisory Committee on Area Redevelopment.

 The Secretary shall appoint a National Public Advisory Committee on Area Redevelopment which shall consist of twenty-five members and shall be composed of representatives of labor, management, agriculture. State and local governments, and the public in general. From the members appointed to such Committee the Secretary shall designate a Chairman.

redevelopment areas Sec. 5. (a)

Standards.

 The Secretary shall designate as “redevelopment areas” those areas within the United States in which he determines, upon the basis of standards generally comparable with those set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2), that there has existed substantial and persistent unemployment for an extended period of time. There shall be included among the areas so designated any area— 75 Stat. 49 (1) where the Secretary of Labor finds that the rate of unemployment, excluding unemployment due primarily to temporary or seasonal factors, is currently 6 per centum or more and has averaged at least 6 per centum for the qualifying time periods specified in paragraph (2); and (2) where the Secretary of Labor finds that the annual average rate of unemployment has been at least— (A) 50 per centum above the national average for three of the preceding four calendar years, or (B) 75 per centum above the national average for two of the preceding three calendar years, or (C) 100 per centum above the national average for one of the preceding two calendar years. The Secretary of Labor shall find the facts and provide the data to be used by the Secretary in making the determinations required by this subsection. (b) The Secretary shall also designate as “redevelopment areas” those areas (including Indian reservations) within the United States which do not meet the requirements set forth in subsection (a) but which he determines are among the highest in numbers and percentages of low-income families, and in which there exists a condition of substantial and persistent unemployment or underemployment. In making the designations under this subsection and before extending any financial assistance as the result of designations under this subsection, the Secretary shall, by regulation, prescribe detailed standards upon which the designations under this subsection shall be based. In the formulation of such standards the Secretary shall consider, among other relevant factors, the number of low-income farm families in the various rural areas of the United States, the proportion that such low-income families are of the total farm families of each of such areas, the relationship of the income levels of the families in each such area to the general levels of income in the United States, the extent to which “rural development” projects have previously been located in any such area under programs administered by the Department of Agriculture, the current and prospective employment opportunities in each such area, the availability of manpower in each such area for supplemental employment, the extent of migration out of the area, and the proportion of the population of each such area which has been receiving public assistance from the Federal Government or from the State or States in which such area is located or from any municipality therein. In making the designations under this subsection, the Secretary shall endeavor to distribute the projects widely among the several States, so far as is feasible and proper, in order that actual experience with this program may be had in as many States and in as many areas and under as many different circumstances as possible. In making these determinations the Secretary shall be guided, but

 not conclusively governed, by pertinent studies made, and information and data collected or compiled, by (1) departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the Federal Government, (2) State and local governments, (3) universities and land-grant colleges, and (4) private organizations. (c) Upon the request of the Secretary, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior, and such other heads of agencies as may be appropriate are authorized to conduct 75 Stat. 50such special studies, obtain such information, and compile and furnish to the Secretary such data as the Secretary may deem necessary or proper to enable him to make the determinations provided for in subsection (b) of this section. The Secretary shall reimburse when appropriate, out of any funds appropriated to carry out the purposes of this Act, the foregoing officers for any expenditures incurred by them under this section. (d)

 As used in this Act, the term “redevelopment area” refers to any area within the United States which has been designated by the Secretary as a redevelopment area.
loans and participations Sec. 6. (a) The Secretary is authorized to purchase evidences of indebtedness and to make loans (which for purposes of this section shall include participations in loans) to aid in financing any project within a redevelopment area for the purchase or development of land and facilities (including, in cases of demonstrated need, machinery and equipment) for industrial or commercial usage, including the construction of new buildings, the rehabilitation of abandoned or unoccupied buildings, and the alteration, conversion, or enlargement of

existing buildings. Such financial assistance shall not be extended (1) for working capital, or (2) to assist establishments relocating from one area to another. The limitation set forth in clause (2) shall not be construed to prohibit assistance for the expansion of an existing business entity through the establishment of a new branch, affiliate, or subsidiary of such entity if the Secretary finds that the establishment of such branch, affiliate, or subsidiary will not result in an increase in unemployment in the area of original location or in any other area where such entity conducts business operations, unless the Secretary has reason to believe that such branch, affiliate, or subsidiary is being established with the intention of closing down the operations of the existing business entity in the area of its original location or in any other area where it conducts such operations. (b) Financial assistance under this section shall be on such terms and conditions as the Secretary determines, subject, however, to the following restrictions and limitations: (1) The total amount of loans (including purchased evidences of indebtedness) outstanding at any one time under this section (A) with respect to projects in redevelopment areas designated under section 5(a) shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (B) with respect to projects in redevelopment areas designated under section 5(b) shall not exceed $100,000,000. (2) Such assistance shall be extended only to applicants, both private and public (including Indian tribes), which have been approved for such assistance by an agency or instrumentality of the State or political subdivision thereof in which the project to be financed is located, and which agency or instrumentality is directly concerned with problems of economic development in such State or subdivision. (3) The project for which financial assistance is sought must be reasonably calculated to provide more than a temporary 75 Stat. 51alleviation of unemployment or underemployment within the redevelopment area wherein it is, or will be, located. (4) No such assistance shall be extended hereunder unless the financial assistance applied for is not otherwise available from private lenders or other Federal agencies on reasonable terms.

(9) Such assistance shall not exceed 65 per centum of the aggregate cost to the applicant (excluding all other Federal aid in connection with the undertaking) of acquiring or developing land and facilities (including, in cases of demonstrated need, machinery and equipment), and of constructing, altering, converting, rehabilitating, or enlarging the building or buildings of the particular project, and shall, among others, be on the condition that— (A) other funds are available in an amount which, together with the assistance provided hereunder, shall be sufficient to pay such aggregate cost; (B) not less than 10 per centum of such aggregate cost be supplied by the State or any agency, instrumentality, or political subdivision thereof, or by an Indian tribe or a community or area organization which is nongovernmental in character, as equity capital or as a loan repayable only after the Federal financial assistance extended under this section has been repaid in full according to the terms thereof and, if such a loan is secured, its security shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien or liens securing such Federal financial assistance; (C) in extending financial assistance under this section with respect to a redevelopment area, the Secretary shall require that not less than 5 per centum of the aggregate cost 75 Stat. 52of the project for which such assistance is extended shall be supplied by nongovernmental sources as equity capital or as a loan repayable only after the Federal financial assistance extended under this section has been repaid in full according to the terms thereof and, if such a loan is secured, its security shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien or liens securing such Federal financial assistance; and (D) to the extent the Secretary finds such action necessary to encourage financial participation in a particular project by other lenders and investors, and except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), any Federal financial assistance extended under this section may be repayable only after other loans made in connection with such project have been repaid in full, and the security, if any, for such Federal financial assistance may be subordinate and inferior to the lien or liens securing other loans made in connection with the same project. (10) No such assistance shall be extended unless there shall be submitted to and approved by the Secretary an overall program for the economic development of the area and a finding by the State, or any agency, instrumentality, or local political subdivision thereof, that the project for which financial assistance is sought is consistent with such program: Provided, That nothing in this Act shall authorize financial assistance for any project prohibited by laws of the State or local political subdivision in which the project would be located.

Limitation.

 The total amount of loans outstanding at any one time under this section shall not exceed $100,000,000. 75 Stat. 53 (d) No financial assistance shall be extended under this section with respect to any public facility which would compete with an existing privately owned public utility rendering a service to the public at rates or charges subject to regulation by a State regulatory body, unless the State regulatory body determines that in the area to be served by the public facility for which the financial assistance is to be extended there is a need for an increase in such service (taking into consideration reasonably foreseeable future needs) which the existing public utility is not able to meet through its existing facilities or through an expansion which it agrees to undertake.

Land acquisition.

Authority.

 The Secretary, in furtherance of the purposes of this Act, may procure, in such manner as he may deem to be in the public interest, lands and interests in lands within the revised boundaries designated pursuant to section 1 of this Act. To avoid the undesirable severance of parcels in private ownership which extend beyond the revised boundaries, the Secretary may, in his discretion and with the consent of the owners, acquire lands or interests in lands that are in private ownership but which lie outside the revised boundary. Property so acquired outside the revised boundary and federally owned lands excluded from the monument pursuant to section 1 of this Act may be exchanged by the Secretary of the Interior for any land of approximately equal value within the revised boundaries. Nothing in this section shall be construed as repealing or limiting the existing jurisdiction, power, or authority of the Secretary prescribed by the public land laws.
Sec. 3.

Appropriation.

 There are authorized to be appropriated such sums, but not more than $15,000, as may be necessary for the acquisition of lands newly included within the boundaries of the monument as revised pursuant to this Act.

July 20, 1961

[H.J. Res. 472]

 Whereas the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by Act of its Legislature, approved May 25, 1961, (Chapter 523, Massachusetts Acts of 1961) has amended its laws relative to the gross weight load of certain motor vehicles operated on the highways of the Commonwealth including routes on the Interstate System; and Whereas such amendment, the effect of which would increase the maximum load permitted to be carried on the axles of such vehicles 75 Stat. 215 substantially above that legally permitted by State law on July 1, 1956, was enacted and approved without full knowledge of the conflict of such amendment with the provisions of section 127 of title 23, United States Code; and Whereas section 127 of title 23, United States Code, provides that no funds authorized to be appropriated for the Interstate System for any fiscal year shall be apportioned to any State within the boundaries of which the Interstate System may lawfully be used by vehicles in excess of certain specified weights and dimensions, unless such vehicles could be so lawfully operated within such State on July 1, 1956, and that any funds withheld under these provisions shall lapse; and Whereas the amendment to the Massachusetts laws approved May 25, 1961, has the effect of exceeding the maximum weight limitations of section 127 of title 23, United States Code; and Whereas the withholding from apportionment and consequent lapsing of funds for the Interstate System for the fiscal year 1963 would cause undue hardship to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and inasmuch as its legislature, having adjourned, does not have reasonable opportunity to enact corrective legislation in sufficient time to prevent such lapse of funds since the apportionment for the fiscal year 1963 is expected to be made by the Secretary of Commerce in the near future: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That notwithstanding section

Share of highway funds.

72 Stat. 902.

 127 of title 23 of the United States Code, the Secretary of Commerce shall apportion to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts its share of funds authorized to be appropriated for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1963. Such apportionment shall be made in accordance with section 104(b)(5) of title 23 of the United States Code and shall be

72 Stat. 890; 74 Stat. 525.

 subject to the condition that the funds so apportioned shall not be obligated or otherwise expended by such Commonwealth so long as the vehicle weight and width limitations established by the law of such Commonwealth exceed such limitations contained in section 127 of title 23 of the United States Code. If on March 15, 1962, the vehicle weight and width limitations established by the law of such Commonwealth exceed such limitations contained in section 127 of title 23 of the United States Code, then funds apportioned to such Commonwealth under this joint resolution shall lapse.

“Sec. 456. PREPAID DUES INCOME OF CERTAIN MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS. “(a) Year in Which Included.—Prepaid dues income to which this section applies shall be included in gross income for the taxable years during which the liability described in subsection (e)(2) exists. “(b) Where Taxpayer’s Liability Ceases.—In the case of any prepaid dues income to which this section applies— “(1) If the liability described in subsection (e)(2) ends, then so much of such income as was not includible in gross income under subsection (a) for preceding taxable years shall be included in gross income for the taxable year in which the liability ends. “(2) If the taxpayer ceases to exist, then so much of such income as was not includible in gross income under subsection (a) for preceding taxable years shall be included in gross income for the taxable year in which such cessation of existence occurs. “(c) Prepaid Dues Income to Which This Section Applies— “(1) Election of benefits.—This section shall apply to prepaid dues income if and only if the taxpayer makes an election under this section with respect to the trade or business in connection with which such income is received. The election shall be made in such manner as the Secretary or his delegate may by regulations prescribe. No election may be made with respect to a trade or business if in computing taxable income the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting is used with respect to such trade or business. “(2) Scope of election.—An election made under this section shall apply to all prepaid dues income received in connection with the trade or business with respect to which the taxpayer has made the election; except that the taxpayer may, to the extent permitted under regulations prescribed by the Secretary or his delegate, include in gross income for the taxable year of receipt the entire amount of any prepaid dues income if the liability from which it arose is to end within 12 months after the date of receipt. Except as provided in subsection (d), an election made under this section shall not apply to any prepaid dues income received before the first taxable year for which the election is made. “(3) When election may be made.— “(A) With consent.—A taxpayer may, with the consent of the Secretary or his delegate, make an election under this section at any time. “(B) Without consent.—A taxpayer may, without the consent of the Secretary or his delegate, make an election under this section for its first taxable year (i) which begins after December 31, 1960, and (ii) in which it receives pre- 75 Stat. 223 paid dues income in the trade or business. Such election shall be made not later than the time prescribed by law for filing the return for the taxable year (including extensions thereof) with respect to which such election is made. “(4) Period to which election applies.—An election under this section shall be effective for the taxable year with respect to which it is first made and for all subsequent taxable years, unless the taxpayer secures the consent of the Secretary or his delegate to the revocation of such election. For purposes of this title, the computation of taxable income under an election made under this section shall be treated as a method of accounting. “(d) Transitional Rule.— “(1) Amount includible in gross income for election years.—If a taxpayer makes an election under this section with respect to prepaid dues income, such taxpayer shall include in gross income, for each taxable year to which such election applies, not only that portion of prepaid dues income received in such year otherwise includible in gross income for such year under this section, but shall also include in gross income for such year an additional amount equal to the amount of prepaid dues income received in the 3 taxable years preceding the first taxable year to which such election applies which would have been included in gross income in the taxable year had the election been effective 3 years earlier. “(2) Deductions of amounts included in income more than once.—A taxpayer who makes an election with respect to prepaid dues income, and who includes in gross income for any taxable year to which the election applies an additional amount computed under paragraph (1), shall be permitted to deduct, for such taxable year and for each of the 4 succeeding taxable years, an amount equal to one-fifth of such additional amount, but only to the extent that such additional amount was also included in the taxpayer’s gross income during any of the 3 taxable years preceding the first taxable year to which such election applies. “(e) Definitions.—For purposes of this section— “(1) Prepaid dues income.—The term ‘prepaid dues income’ means any amount (includible in gross income) which is received by a membership organization in connection with, and is directly attributable to, a liability to render services or make available membership privileges over a period of time which extends beyond the close of the taxable year in which such amount is received. “(2) Liability.—The term ‘liability’ means a liability to render services or make available membership privileges over a period of time which does not exceed 36 months, which liability shall be deemed to exist ratably over the period of time that such services are required to be rendered, or that such membership privileges are required to be made available. “(3) Membership organization.—The term ‘membership organization’ means a corporation, association, federation, or other organization— “(A) organized without capital stock of any kind, and “(B) no part of the net earnings of which is distributable to any member. “(4) Receipt of prepaid dues income.—Prepaid dues income shall be treated as received during the taxable year for which it is includible in gross income under section 451 (without regard to this section).”

[S. 1983]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

Post, p. 719.

 PART I chapter 1—short title and policy
Sec. 101.

Act for International Development of 1961.

 Short Title.—This part may be cited as the “Act for International Development of 1961”.
Sec. 102. Statement of Policy.—It is the sense of the Congress that peace depends on wider recognition of the dignity and interdependence of men, and survival of free institutions in the United States can best be assured in a worldwide atmosphere of freedom.

To this end, the United States has in the past provided assistance to help strengthen the forces of freedom by aiding peoples of less developed friendly countries of the world to develop their resources and improve their living standards, to realize their aspirations for justice, education, dignity, and respect as individual human beings, and to establish responsible governments.

The Congress declares it to be a primary necessity, opportunity, and responsibility of the United States, and consistent with its traditions and ideals, to renew the spirit which lay behind these past efforts, and to help make a historic demonstration that economic growth and political democracy can go hand in hand to the end that an enlarged community of free, stable, and self-reliant countries can reduce world tensions and insecurity.

It is the policy of the United States to strengthen friendly foreign countries by encouraging the development of their free economic institutions and productive capabilities, and by minimizing or eliminating barriers to the flow of private investment capital.

75 Stat. 425

In addition, the Congress declares that it is the policy of the United States to support the principles of increased economic cooperation and trade among countries, freedom of the press, information, and religion, freedom of navigation in international waterways, and recognition of the right of all private persons to travel and pursue their lawful activities without discrimination as to race or religion. In the administration of all parts of this Act these principles shall be supported in such a way in our relations with countries friendly to the United States which are in controversy with each other as to promote an adjudication of the issues involved by means of international law procedures available to the parties.

Accordingly, the Congress hereby affirms it to be the policy of the United States to make assistance available, upon request, under this part in scope and on a basis of long-range continuity essential to the creation of an environment in which the energies of the peoples of the world can be devoted to constructive purposes, free of pressure and erosion by the adversaries of freedom. It is the sense of the Congress that assistance under this part should be complemented by the furnishing under any other Act of surplus agricultural commodities and by disposal of excess property under this and other Acts.

Also, the Congress reaffirms its conviction that the peace of the world and the security of the United States are endangered so long as international communism continues to attempt to bring under Communist domination peoples now free and independent and to keep under domination peoples once free but now subject to such domination. It is, therefore, the policy, of the United States to continue to make available to other free countries and peoples, upon request, assistance of such nature and in such amounts as the United States deems advisable and as may be effectively used by free countries and peoples to help them maintain their freedom. Assistance shall be based upon sound plans and programs; be directed toward the social as well as economic aspects of economic development; be responsive to the efforts of the recipient countries to mobilize their own resources and help themselves; be cognizant of the external and internal pressures which hamper their growth; and should emphasize long-range development assistance as the primary instrument of such growth.

The Congress reaffirms its belief in the importance of regional organizations of free peoples for mutual assistance, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the European Economic Community, the Organization of American States, the Colombo Plan, the South East Asia Treaty Organization, the Central Treaty Organization, and others, and expresses its hope that such organizations may be strengthened and broadened, and their programs of self-help and mutual cooperation may be made more effective in the protection of the independence and security of free people, and in the development of their economic and social well-being, and the safeguarding of their basic rights and liberties.

Finally, the Congress urges that all other countries able to contribute join in a common undertaking to meet the goals stated in this part.

PART II Chapter 1—Short Title and Policy
Sec. 501.

International Peace and Security Act of 1961.

 Short Title.—This part may be cited as the “International Peace and Security Act of 1961”.
Sec. 502. Statement of Policy.—The Congress of the United States reaffirms the policy of the United States to achieve international peace and security through the United Nations so that armed force shall not be used except for individual or collective self-defense. The Congress hereby finds that the efforts of the United States and other friendly countries to promote peace and security continue to require measures of support based upon the principle of effective self-help and mutual aid. It is the purpose of this part to authorize measures in the common defense against internal and external aggression, including

Military assistance.

the furnishing of military assistance, upon request, to friendly countries and international organizations. In furnishing such military 75 Stat. 435assistance, it remains the policy of the United States to continue to exert maximum efforts to achieve universal control of weapons of mass destruction and universal regulation and reduction of armaments, including armed forces, under adequate safeguards to protect complying countries against violation and evasion.

The Congress recognizes that the peace of the world and the security of the United States are endangered so long as international communism and the countries it controls continue by threat of military action, by the use of economic pressure, and by internal subversion, or other means to attempt to bring under their domination peoples now free and independent and continue to deny the rights of freedom and self-government to peoples and countries once free but now subject to such domination.

It is the sense of the Congress that an important contribution toward

International military force.

peace would be made by the establishment under the Organization of American States of an international military force.

In enacting this legislation, it is therefore the intention of the Congress

Congressional intent.

to promote the peace of the world and the foreign policy, security, and general welfare of the United States by fostering an improved climate of political independence and individual liberty, improving the ability of friendly countries and international organizations to deter or, if necessary, defeat Communist or Communist-supported aggression, facilitating arrangements for individual and collective security, assisting friendly countries to maintain internal security, and creating an environment of security and stability in the developing friendly countries essential to their more rapid social, economic, and political progress.

Course of Descents Generally.—On the death of any person seized of or entitled to an interest in an estate in lands, tenements, or hereditaments in the District of Columbia, and intestate thereof, the same shall descend in fee simple to such person’s surviving spouse, if any, and kindred, who according to the laws of the District of Columbia now or hereafter in force relating to the distribution of the personal property of intestates, would be entitled to the surplus personal property of such intestate, if he or she had died a resident of the District of Columbia and possessed of such surplus personalty; and such surviving spouse and kindred shall take as tenants in common in the same proportions as are or shall be fixed by such laws relating to personal property. Subject to the right of dower, such real property shall be liable, in the event of insufficiency of the personal property, for the payment of the intestate’s funeral expenses, debts, costs of administration, and estate, inheritance, and succession taxes in the same manner and to the same extent as the personal property of such intestate. Should said lands, tenements, or hereditaments be sold under a decree of a court having jurisdiction over the same, then it shall be unnecessary to secure the consent of said widow or surviving husband to said sale, unless the widow elects to take her dower, if any, in all real estate whereof the husband, prior to November 29, 1957, was seized at any time during the marriage or the surviving spouse elects to take the right of dower provided by section 3 of the Act approved August 31, 1957, as amended by section 3 of the Marital Property Rights Amendments of 1961 (D.C.

 a right of dower which shall be an inchoate estate for life in one-third of the real property owned by the other spouse at any time during the marriage, whether by legal or equitable title, and whether held by either spouse at the time of his or her death or not, and such estate, which shall have the same incidents as the common law estate of dower in force and effect in the District of Columbia immediately prior to November 29, 1957, shall be in lieu of any inchoate rights acquired by or which may have attached to the real estate of any husband or wife by virtue of the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, as such subsection was in effect immediately prior to the effective date of this amendment, and shall not operate to the prejudice of any claim for the purchase money of such lands. No such right of dower shall attach to any lands held by any two or more persons as joint tenants while such tenancy exists; and all provisions of the Act entitled ‘An Act to establish a code of law for the District of Columbia’, approved March 3, 1901, as amended, and all other laws in force in the District of Columbia relating to the right of dower and its incidents shall, on and after the effective date of this amendment, be construed to be applicable to both husband and wife.”

Ante, p. 515.

 Code, sec. 18–201a), as the case may be, unless within six months after the will of the deceased spouse is admitted to probate, she or he shall file in the probate court a written renunciation to the following effect:

“I, A B, widow (or surviving husband) of , late of , deceased, do hereby renounce and quit all claim to any devise or bequest made to me by the last will of my husband (or wife) exhibited and proved according to law; and I elect to take in lieu thereof my legal share of the real and personal property of my said spouse (except that in lieu of my legal share of the real property, I elect to take dower in all the real property of my deceased spouse to which such right is applicable).

 “(b) In similar manner, where the deceased spouse has died intestate of any real estate and letters of administration have been issued with respect to the estate of such deceased spouse, the surviving spouse shall be barred of the dower rights provided by section 3 of the Act approved August 31, 1957, as amended by section 3 of the Marital Property Rights Amendments of 1961 (D.C. Code, sec. 18–201a), unless within six months after such letters of administration have been issued with respect to the estate of the deceased spouse, she or he shall file in the probate court a written renunciation of her or his legal share of such intestate real estate to the following effect:

“I, A B, widow (or surviving husband) of , deceased, in lieu of my legal share of the real property of which my deceased spouse died intestate, do hereby elect to take dower in all the real property of my deceased spouse to which such right is applicable.

 “(c) If, during said period of six months, a suit should be instituted to construe the will of the deceased spouse, the period of six months for the filing of such renunciation or election shall commence to run from the date when such suit shall be finally determined, by appeal or otherwise. A renunciation or election may be made in behalf of any spouse unable to act for himself or herself by reason of infancy, incompetency, or inability to manage his or her property, by the guardian or other fiduciary acting for such spouse when authorized so to do by the court having jurisdiction of the person of such spouse. The time for renunciation by any spouse may be extended before its expiration by an order of the probate court for successive periods of not exceeding six months each upon petition showing reasonable cause and on notice given to the personal representative and to such other persons in such manner as the probate court may direct. “(d) In any case where the wife or husband has made no devise or bequest to the spouse, and in any case where nothing passes by any purported devise or bequest, the surviving spouse shall be deemed to have filed a written renunciation as provided in subsection (a) of this section (subject to his or her right to elect dower in lieu of the legal share of real estate within six months from probate of the will provided in subsection (b) of this section). 75 Stat. 517 “(e) By renouncing all claim to any and all devises and bequests made to her or him by the will of her husband or his wife pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, or in the event that a renunciation shall be deemed to be effected pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) of this section, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to such share or interest in the real and personal estate of the deceased spouse (including dower if elected in lieu of the legal share in the real estate) which she or he would have taken had the deceased spouse died intestate, except that in neither event shall the surviving spouse be entitled to more than one-half of the net estate bequeathed and devised by said will, or, if dower be elected, one-half of the net personal estate bequeathed and dower in the real estate devised. “(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law now or heretofore

Antenuptial or postnuptial agreements.

 in effect in the District of Columbia, any valid antenuptial or postnuptial agreement which shall have been entered, into by the spouses shall govern and the provisions thereof shall determine the rights of the surviving spouse in the real and personal property of the deceased spouse, and the administration thereof, but nothing contained in this subsection shall prohibit any spouse from accepting the benefits of any devise or bequest made to him or her by the deceased spouse.”
Sec. 5. Section 1165 of the Act entitled “An Act to establish a code of law for the District of Columbia”, approved March 3, 1901 (D.C. Code, sec. 18–204), is amended to read as follows:

“Sec. 106. (a) The procedure prescribed by, and all the provisions of the Act of December 29, 1950, as amended (64 Stat. 1129; 68 Stat. 961; 5 U.S.C. 1031 et seq.), shall apply to, and shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for, the judicial review of all final orders of deportation heretofore or hereafter made against aliens within the United States pursuant to administrative proceedings under section 242(b) of this Act or comparable provisions of any prior Act, except

66 Stat. 208.

8 USC 1252.

 that— “(1) a petition for review may be filed not later than six months from the date of the final deportation order or from the effective date of this section, whichever is the later. “(2) the venue of any petition for review under this section shall be in the judicial circuit in which the administrative proceedings before a special inquiry officer were conducted in whole or in part, or in the judicial circuit wherein is the residence, as defined in this Act, of the petitioner, but not in more than one circuit; “(3) the action shall be brought against the Immigration and Naturalization Service, as respondent. Service of the petition to review shall be made upon the Attorney General of the United States and upon the official of the Immigration and Naturalization Service m charge of the Service district in which the office of the clerk of the court is located. The service of the petition for review upon such official of the Service shall stay the deportation of the alien pending determination of the petition by the court, unless the court otherwise directs; “(4) except as provided in clause (B) of paragraph (5) of this subsection, the petition shall be determined solely upon the administrative record upon which the deportation order is based and the Attorney General’s findings of fact, if supported by rea-75 Stat. 652sonable, substantial, and probative evidence on the record considered as a whole, shall be conclusive; “(5) whenever any petitioner, who seeks review of an order under this section, claims to be a national of the United States and makes a showing that his claim is not frivolous, the court shall (A) pass upon the issues presented when it appears from the pleadings and affidavits filed by the parties that no genuine issue of material fact is presented; or (B) where a genuine issue of material fact as to the petitioner’s nationality is presented, transfer the proceedings to a United States district court for the district where the petitioner has his residence for hearing de novo of the nationality claim and determination as if such proceedings were originally initiated in the district court under the provisions of section 2201 of title 28, United States Code. Any such petitioner shall not be entitled to have such issue determined under section 360(a) of this Act or otherwise; “(6) if the validity of a deportation order has not been judicially determined, its validity may be challenged in a criminal proceeding against the alien for violation of subsection (d) or

8 USC 1252.

(e) of section 242 of this Act only by separate motion for judicial review before trial. Such motion shall be determined by the court without a jury and before the trial of the general issue. Whenever a claim to United States nationality is made in such motion, and in the opinion of the court, a genuine issue of material fact as to the alien’s nationality is presented, the court shall accord him a hearing de novo on the nationality claim and determine that issue as if proceedings had been initiated under the

If no such hearing de novo as to nationality is conducted, the determination shall be made solely upon the administrative record upon which the deportation order is based and the Attorney General’s findings of fact, if supported by reasonable, substantial and probative evidence on the record considered as a whole, shall be conclusive. If the deportation order is held invalid, the court shall dismiss the indictment and the United States shall have the right to appeal to the court of appeals within thirty days. The procedure on such appeals shall be as provided in the Federal rules of criminal procedure. No petition for review under this section may be filed by any alien during the pendency of a criminal proceeding against such alien for violation of subsection (d) or (e) of section 242 of this Act; “(7) nothing in this section shall be construed to require the Attorney General to defer deportation of an alien after the issuance of a deportation order because of the right of judicial review of the order granted by this section, or to relieve any alien from compliance with subsections (d) and (e) of section 242 of this Act. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to preclude the Attorney General from detaining or continuing to detain an alien or from taking him into custody pursuant to subsection (c) of section 242 of this Act at any time after the issuance of a deportation order; “(8) it shall not be necessary to print the record or any part thereof, or the briefs, and the court shall review the proceedings on a typewritten record and on typewritten briefs; and “(9) any alien held in custody pursuant to an order of deportation may obtain judicial review thereof by habeas corpus proceedings. 75 Stat. 653 “(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, any alien against whom a final order of exclusion has been made heretofore or hereafter under the provisions of section 236 of this Act or comparable

66 Stat. 200.

8 USC 1226.

 provisions of any prior Act may obtain judicial review of such order by habeas corpus proceedings and not otherwise. “(c) An order of deportation or of exclusion shall not be reviewed by any court if the alien has not exhausted the administrative remedies available to him as of right under the immigration laws and regulations or if he has departed from the United States after the issuance of the order. Every petition for review or for habeas corpus shall state whether the validity of the order has been upheld in any prior judicial proceeding, and, if so, the nature and date thereof, and the court in which such proceeding took place. No petition for review or for habeas corpus shall be entertained if the validity of the order has been previously determined in any civil or criminal proceeding, unless the petition presents grounds which the court finds could not have been presented in such prior proceeding, or the court finds that the remedy provided by such prior proceeding was inadequate or ineffective to test the validity of the order.”

September 27, 1961

[H. J. Res. 225]

Delaware River Basin Compact.

 Whereas the signatory parties recognize the water and related resources of the Delaware River Basin as regional assets vested with local, State, and National interests, for which they have a joint responsibility; and Whereas the conservation, utilization, development, management, and control of the water and related resources of the Delaware River Basin under a comprehensive multipurpose plan will bring the greatest benefits and produce the most efficient service in the public welfare; and Whereas such a comprehensive plan administered by a basinwide agency will provide effective flood damage reduction; conservation and development of ground and surface water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses; development of recreational facilities in relation to reservoirs, lakes, and streams; propagation of fish and game; promotion of related forestry, soil conservation, and watershed projects; protection and aid to fisheries dependent upon water resources; development of hydroelectric power potentialities; improved navigation; control of the movement of salt water; abatement and control of stream pollution; and regulation of stream flows toward the attainment of these goals; and Whereas decisions of the United States Supreme Court relating to the waters of the basin have confirmed the interstate regional character of the water resources of the Delaware River Basin, and the United States Corps of Engineers has in a prior report on the Delaware River Basin (House Document 179, Seventy-third Congress, second session) officially recognized the need for an interstate agency and the economies that can result from unified development and control of the water resources of the basin; and Whereas the water resources of the basin are presently subject to the duplicating, overlapping, and uncoordinated administration of some forty-three State agencies, fourteen interstate agencies, and nineteen Federal agencies which exercise a multiplicity of powers and duties resulting in a splintering of authority and responsibilities; and Whereas the joint advisory body known as the Interstate Commission on the Delaware River Basin (INCODEL), created by the respective commissions or Committee on Interstate Cooperation of the States of Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, has on the basis on its extensive investigations, surveys, and studies concluded that regional development of the Delaware River Basin is feasible, advisable, and urgently needed; and has recommended that an interstate compact with Federal participation be consummated to this end; and 75 Stat. 689 Whereas the Congress of the United States and the executive branch of the Government have recognized the national interest in the Delaware River Basin by authorizing and directing the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, to make a comprehensive survey and report on the water and related resources of the Delaware River Basin, enlisting the technical aid and planning participation of many Federal, State, and municipal agencies dealing with the waters of the basin, and in particular the Federal Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health, Education, and Welfare, and Interior, and the Federal Power Commission; and Whereas some twenty-two million people of the United States at present live and work in the region of the Delaware River Basin and its environs, and the government, employment, industry, and economic development of the entire region and the health, safety, and general welfare of its population are and will continue to be vitally affected by the use, conservation, management, and control of the water and related resources of the Delaware River Basin; and Whereas demands upon the waters and related resources of the basin are expected to mount rapidly because of the anticipated increase in the population of the region projected to reach thirty million by 1980 and forty million by 2010, and because of the anticipated increase in industrial growth projected to double by 1980; and Whereas water resources planning and development is technical, complex, and expensive, and has often required fifteen to twenty years from the conception to the completion of a large dam and reservoir; and Whereas the public interest requires that facilities must be ready and operative when needed, to avoid the catastrophe of unexpected floods or prolonged drought, and for other purposes; and Whereas the Delaware River Basin Advisory Committee, a temporary body constituted by the Governors of the four basin States and the mayors of the cities of New York and Philadelphia, has prepared a draft of an interstate-Federal compact for the creation of a basin agency, and the signatory parties desire to effectuate the purposes thereof: Now therefore Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Be it enacted by the Senate and Home of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, PART I COMPACT
That the United States hereby consents to, and joins the States of Delaware, New Jersey, and New York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in, the following compact:
Article 1 short title, definitions, purpose and limitations
Section 1.1 Short title. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the Delaware River Basin Compact.
1.2 Definitions. For the purposes of this compact, and of any supplemental or concurring legislation enacted pursuant thereto, except as may be otherwise required by the context: (a) “Basin” shall mean the area of drainage into the Delaware River and its tributaries, including Delaware Bay; (b) “Commission” shall mean the Delaware River Basin Commission created and constituted by this compact; (c) “Compact” shall mean Part I of this act; (d) “Cost” shall mean direct and indirect expenditures, commitment, and net induced adverse effects, whether or not compensated for, used or incurred in connection with the establishment, acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of a project; 75 Stat. 690 (e) “Facility” shall mean any real or personal property, within or without the basin, and improvements thereof or thereon, and any and all rights of way, water, water rights, plants, structures, machinery and equipment, acquired, constructed, operated or maintained for the beneficial use of water resources or related land uses including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all things and appurtenances necessary, useful or convenient for the control, collection, storage, withdrawal, diversion, release, treatment, transmission, sale or exchange of water; or for navigation thereon, or the development and use of hydroelectric energy and power, and public recreational facilities; or the propagation of fish and wildlife; or to conserve and protect the water resources of the basin or any existing or future water supply source, or to facilitate any other uses of any of them; (f) “Federal government” shall mean the government of the United States of America, and any appropriate branch, department, bureau or division thereof, as the case may be; (g) “Project” shall mean any work, service or activity which is separately planned, financed, or identified by the commission, or any separate facility undertaken or to be undertaken within a specified area, for the conservation, utilization, control, development or management of water resources which can be established and utilized independently or as an addition to an existing facility, and can be considered as a separate entity for purposes of evaluation; (h) “Signatory party” shall mean a state or commonwealth party to this compact, and the federal government; (i) “Water resources” shall include water and related natural resources in, on, under, or above the ground, including related uses of land, which are subject to beneficial use, ownership or control.
1.3 Purpose and Findings. The legislative bodies of the respective signatory parties hereby find and declare: (a) The water resources of the basin are affected with a local, state, regional and national interest and their planning, conservation, utilization, development, management and control, under appropriate arrangements for intergovernmental cooperation, are public purposes of the respective signatory parties. (b) The water resources of the basin are subject to the sovereign right and responsibility of the signatory parties, and it is the purpose of this compact to provide for a joint exercise of such powers of sovereignty in the common interests of the people of the region. (c) The water resources of the basin are functionally inter-related, and the uses of these resources are interdependent. A single administrative agency is therefore essential for effective and economical direction, supervision and coordination of efforts and programs of federal, state and local governments and of private enterprise. (d) The water resources of the Delaware River Basin, if properly planned and utilized, are ample to meet all presently projected demands, including existing and added diversions in future years and ever increasing economies and efficiencies in the use and reuse of water resources can be brought about by comprehensive planning, programming and management. (e) In general, the purposes of this compact are to promote interstate comity; to remove causes of present and future controversy; to make secure and protect present developments within the states; to encourage and provide for the planning, conservation, utilization, development, management and control of the water resources of the basin; to provide for cooperative planning and action by the signatory parties with respect to such water resources; and to apply the principle of equal and uniform treatment to all water users who are 75 Stat. 691 similarly situated and to all users of related facilities, without regard to established political boundaries.
1.4 Powers of Congress; Withdrawal. Nothing in this compact shall be construed to relinquish the functions, powers or duties of the Congress of the United States with respect to the control of any navigable waters within the basin, nor shall any provision hereof be construed in derogation of any of the constitutional powers of the Congress to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign nations. The power and right of the Congress to withdraw the federal government as a party to this compact or to revise or modify the terms, conditions and provisions under which it may remain a party by amendment, repeal or modification of any federal statute applicable thereto is recognized by the signatory parties.
1.5 Existing Agencies; Construction. It is the purpose of the signatory parties to preserve and utilize the functions, powers and duties of existing offices and agencies of government to the extent not inconsistent with the compact, and the commission is authorized and directed to utilize and employ such offices and agencies for the purpose of this compact to the fullest extent it finds feasible and advantageous.
1.6 Duration of Compact. (a) The duration of this compact shall be for an initial period of 100 years from its effective date, and it shall be continued for additional periods of 100 years if not later than 20 years nor sooner than 25 years prior to the determination of the initial period or any succeeding period none of the signatory states, by authority of an act of its legislature, notifies the commission of intention to terminate the compact at the end of the then current 100 year period. (b) In the event that this compact should be terminated by operation of paragraph (a) above, the commission shall be dissolved, its assets and liabilities transferred, and its corporate affairs wound up, in such manner as may be provided by act of the Congress.

Any such order to show cause shall contain a statement of the matters of fact and law asserted by the Administration and the legal authority and jurisdiction under which a hearing is to be held, and shall inform the licensee that a hearing will be held before the Administration at a time and place stated in the order. If after hearing, or a waiver thereof, the Administration determines on the record that an order suspending the license or a cease and desist order should issue, it shall promptly issue such order, which shall include a statement of the findings of the Administration and the grounds and reasons therefor and specify the effective date of the order, and shall cause the order to be served on the licensee. “(d)

Subpena.

 The Administration may require by subpena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of all books, papers, and documents relating to the hearing from any place in the United States. Witnesses summoned before the Administration shall be paid by the party at whose instance they were called the same fees and mileage that are paid witnesses in the courts of the United States. In case of disobedience to a subpena, the Administration, or any party to a proceeding before the Administration, may invoke the aid of any court of the United States in requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papers, and documents. “(e)

Petition.

 An order issued by the Administration under this section shall be final and conclusive unless within thirty days after the service thereof the licensee appeals to the United States court of appeals for the circuit in which such licensee has its principal place of business by filing with the clerk of such court a petition praying that the Administration’s order be set aside or modified in the manner stated in the petition. After the expiration of such thirty days, a petition may be filed only by leave of court on a showing of reasonable grounds for failure to file the petition theretofore. The clerk of the court shall immediately cause a copy of the petition to be delivered to the Administration, and the Administration shall thereupon certify and file in the court a transcript of the record upon which the order complained of was entered. If before such record is filed the Administration amends or sets aside its order, in whole or in part, the petitioner may amend the petition within such time as the court may determine, on notice to the Administration. The filing of a petition for review shall not of itself stay or suspend the operation of the order of the Administration, but the court of appeals in its discretion may restrain or suspend, in whole or in part, the operation of the order pending the final hearing and determination of the petition. The proceedings in such cases in the court of appeals shall be made a preferred cause and shall be expedited in every way. The court may affirm, modify, or set aside the order of the Administration. If the court determines that the just and proper disposition of the case requires the taking of additional evidence, the court shall order the Administration to reopen the hearing for the taking of such evidence, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as the court may deem proper. The Administration may modify its findings as to the facts, or make new findings, by reason of the additional evidence so taken, and it shall file its modified or new findings and the amendments, if any, of its order, with the record of such additional evidence. No objection to an order of the Administration shall be con-75 Stat. 755sidered by the court unless such objection was urged before the Administration or, if it was not so urged, unless there were reasonable grounds for failure to do so. The judgment and decree of the court affirming, modifying, or setting aside any such order of the Administration shall be subject only to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon certification or certiorari as provided in section 1254 of title 28, United States Code.

28 USC 1254.

 “(f) If any licensee against which an order is issued under this

Enforcement.

 section fails to obey the order, the Administration may apply to the United States court of appeals, within the circuit where the licensee has its principal place of business, for the enforcement of the order, and shall file a transcript of the record upon which the order complained of was entered. Upon the filing of the application the court shall cause notice thereof to be served on the licensee. The evidence to be considered, the procedure to be followed, and the jurisdiction of the court shall be the same as is provided in subsection (e) for applications to set aside or modify orders. The proceedings in such cases shall be made a preferred cause and shall be expedited in every way.
“investigations “Sec. 310. The Administration may make such investigations as it deems necessary to determine whether a licensee or any other person has engaged or is about to engage in any acts or practices which constitute or will constitute a violation of any provision of this Act, or of any rule or regulation under this Act, or of any order issued under this Act. The Administration shall permit any person to file with it a statement in writing, under oath or otherwise as the Administration shall determine, as to all the facts and circumstances concerning the matter to be investigated. For the purpose of any investigation, the Administration is empowered to administer oaths and affirmations, subpena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence, and require the production of any books, papers, and documents which are relevant to the inquiry. Such attendance of witnesses and the production of any such records may be required from any place in the United States. In case of contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpena issued to, any person, including a licensee, the Administration may invoke the aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction of which such investigation or proceeding is carried on, or where such person resides or carries on business, in requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papers, and documents; and such court may issue an order requiring such person to appear before the Administration, there to produce records, if so ordered, or to give testimony touching the matter under investigation. Any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such case may be served in the judicial district whereof such person is an inhabitant or wherever he may be found.
“injunctions and other orders “Sec. 311. (a) Whenever, in the judgment of the Administration, a licensee or any other person has engaged or is about to engage in any acts or practices which constitute or will constitute a violation of any provision of this Act, or of any rule or regulation under this Act, or of any order issued under this Act, the Administration may make application to the proper district court of the United States or a United States court of any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for an order enjoining such acts or practices, or for an order enforcing compliance with such provision, rule, regulation, or 75 Stat. 756 order, and such courts shall have jurisdiction of such actions and, upon a showing by the Administration that such licensee or other person has engaged or is about to engage in any such acts or practices, a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order, shall be granted without bond. The proceedmgs in such a case shall be made a preferred cause and shall be expedited in every way. “(b) In any such proceeding the court as a court of equity may, to such extent as it deems necessary, take exclusive jurisdiction of the licensee or licensees and the assets thereof, wherever located; and the court shall have jurisdiction in any such proceeding to appoint a trustee or receiver to hold or administer under the direction of the court the assets so possessed.”

That the Shipping Act, 1916, is amended by adding after section 14a a new section to read as follows:
“Sec. 14b.

Foreign commerce.

Common carriers, dual rate contracts.

 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, on application the Federal Maritime Commission (hereinafter ‘Commission’), shall, after notice, and hearing, by order, permit the use by any common carrier or conference of such carriers in foreign commerce of any contract, amendment, or modification thereof, which is available to all shippers and consignees on equal terms and conditions, which provides lower rates to a shipper or consignee who agrees to give all or any fixed portion of his patronage to such carrier or conference of carriers unless the Commission finds that the contract, amendment, or modification thereof will be detrimental to the commerce of the United States or contrary to the public interest, or unjustly discriminatory or unfair as between shippers, exporters, importers, or ports, or between exporters from the United States and their foreign competitors, and provided the contract, amendment, or modification thereof, expressly (1) permits prompt release of the contract shipper from the contract with respect to any shipment or shipments for which the contracting carrier or conference of carriers cannot provide as much space as the contract shipper shall require on reasonable notice; (2) provides that whenever a tariff rate for the carriage of goods under the contract becomes effective, insofar as it is under the control of the carrier or conference of carriers, it shall not be increased before a reasonable period, but in no case less than ninety days; (3) covers only those goods of the contract shipper as to the shipment of which he has the legal right at the time of shipment to select the carrier: Provided, however, That it shall be deemed a breach of the contract if, before the time of shipment and with the intent to avoid his obligation under the contract, the contract shipper divests himself, or with the same intent permits himself to be divested, of the legal right to select the carrier and the shipment is carried by a carrier which is not a party to the contract; (4) does not require the contract shipper to divert shipment of goods from natural routings not served by the carrier or conference of carriers where direct carriage is available; (5) limits damages recoverable for breach by either party to actual damages to be determined after breach in accordance with the principles of contract law: Provided, however, That the contract may specify that in the case of a breach by a contract shipper the damages may be an amount not exceeding the freight charges computed at the contract rate on the particular shipment, less the cost of handling; (6) permits the contract shipper to terminate at any time without penalty upon ninety days’ notice; (7) provides for a spread between ordinary rates and rates charged contract shippers which the Commission finds to be reasonable in all the circumstances but which spread shall in no event be more than 15 per centum of the ordinary rates; (8) excludes cargo of the contract shippers which is loaded and carried in bulk without mark or count except liquid bulk cargoes, other than chemicals, in less than full shipload lots: Provided, however, That upon finding that economic factors so warrant, the Commission may exclude from the contract any commodity subject to the 75 Stat. 763 foregoing exception; and (9) contains such other provisions not inconsistent herewith as the Commission shall require or permit. The Commission shall withdraw permission which it has granted under the authority contained in this section for the use of any contract if it finds, after notice and hearing, that the use of such contract is detrimental

The carrier or conference of carriers may on ninety days’ notice terminate without penalty the contract rate system herein authorized, in whole or with respect to any commodity: Provided, however, That after such termination the carrier or conference of carriers may not reinstitute such contract rate system or part thereof so terminated without prior permission by the Commission in accordance with the provisions of this section. Any contract, amendment, or modification of any contract not permitted by the Commission shall be unlawful, and contracts, amendments, and modifications shall be lawful only when and as long as permitted by the Commission: before permission is granted or after permission is withdrawn it shall be unlawful to carry out in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any such contract, amendment, or modification. As used in this section, the term ‘contract shipper’ means a person other than a carrier or conference of carriers who is a party to a contract the use of which may be permitted under this section.”
Sec. 2. Section 15, Shipping Act, 1916, is amended to read as follows:

(c) Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of zinc as long as the market price for prime western zinc at East Saint Louis, Illinois, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14½ cents per pound, and such payments shall be 55 per centum of the difference between 14½ cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary. (d) The maximum amount of payments which may be made pursuant to this Act on account of sales of newly mined ores or concentrates produced therefrom made during the calendar year 1962 shall not exceed $4,500,000; the maximum amount of such payments which may be made on account of such sales made during the calendar year 1963 shall not exceed $4,500,000; the maximum amount of such payments which may be made on account of such sales made during the calendar year 1964 shall not exceed $4,000,000; and the maximum amount of such payments which may be made on account of such sales made during the calendar year 1965 shall not exceed $3,500,000.
Sec. 3.

Payments shall be made only with respect to ores and concentrates produced from an operating unit which was operated during the whole or some part of the period January 1, 1956, to August 1, 1961. No payments shall be made on any production from any property acquired by sale, lease, permit, or otherwise (except devise or inheritance) subsequent to August 1, 1961: Provided, however, That any person or firm acquiring a property by sale, lease, permit, or otherwise may qualify as a small domestic producer if such person or firm produced ores or concentrates from a mine specified in a lease, permit, or contract during the whole or some part of the period January 1, 1956, to August 1, 1961. (b) No stabilization payments under this Act shall be made on any domestically produced material which is sold to or eligible for sale to the United States Government, or any agency thereof, pursuant to a contract made under the provisions of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, or the Strategic and Critical Materials Stockpiling

Sec. 5. The Secretary may delegate any of the functions authorized by this Act to the Administrator of General Services.
Sec. 6. (a)

Definitions.

 For the purposes of this Act— (1) The term “Secretary” means the Secretary of the Interior. (2) The term “small domestic producer” means any person or firm engaged in producing ores or concentrates from mines located within the United States or its possessions and in selling the material so produced in normal commercial channels who, during any twelve-month period between January 1, 1956, and the first day of the period for which he seeks payments under this Act, has not produced or sold ores or concentrates the recoverable content of which is more than three thousand tons of lead and zinc combined, recoverable content being computed as 95 per centum of the lead content of the ores or concentrates and 85 per centum of the zinc content of the ores or concentrates. (3) The term “sale” means a bona fide transfer for value of ores and concentrates from a producer to a processing plant. In the event that a producer further processes ores or concentrates, a sale shall be deemed to have occurred when such ores or concentrates are shipped to the processing plant. (4) The term “newly mined” means domestic material processed into concentrates or severed from the land subsequent to the date of enactment of this Act, but shall not exclude normal inventories of crude ore. The term does not refer to material recovered from mine dumps, mill tailings, or from smelter slags and residues derived from material mined prior to the date of enactment of this Act. (5) The term “quarter” means the calendar periods commencing on the first day of the months of January, April, July, and October. (b) For the purposes of this Act, the Secretary may determine what constitutes a single operating unit producing ores and, in the event that more than one producer claims payment for sales from production of a single operating unit, the Secretary may determine the quantity of sales for each such producer to which the above limitations apply. (c) For purposes of this Act, sales of concentrates produced from ores sold to a mill or processing plant in accordance with regulations issued pursuant to this Act shall not be considered as the sales of the owner of the mill, but shall be considered as the sales of the small domestic producer of the ores.
Sec. 7. No payment shall be made under this Act on any ores or concentrates sold, or processed in lieu of sale, after December 31, 1965; but authorized payment shall be made only if application therefor is filed not later than March 31, 1966, in accordance with regulations established by the Secretary.
Sec. 8.

Report to Congress.

 The Secretary shall make an annual report with respect to operations under this Act not later than March 1 of each year to the Congress of the United States. Any such report shall contain such recommendations as the Secretary may deem appropriate.
Sec. 9.

 together with interest at 4 percent per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 percent per annum thereafter, compounded on December 31 of each year, to the date of his relinquishment of office, shall be returned to him. For the purpose of this section, the service of any judge electing under subsection (b) who is not reappointed following expiration of his term but who, at the time of such expiration, is eligible for and elects to receive retired pay under section 7447 shall be deemed to have terminated pursuant to said section. “(h) Entitlement to Annuity.—In case any judge electing under subsection (b) shall die while a judge after having rendered at least 5 years of civilian service computed as prescribed in subsection (n), for the last 5 years of which the salary deductions provided for by subsection (c) or the deposits required by subsection (d) have actually 75 Stat. 798 been made or the salary deductions required by the Civil Service

 Retirement Act have actually been made— “(1) if such judge is survived by a widow but not by a dependent child, there shall be paid to such widow an annuity beginning with the day of the death of the judge or following the widow’s attainment of the age of 50 years, whichever is the later, in an amount computed as provided in subsection (m); or “(2) if such judge is survived by a widow and a dependent child or children, there shall be paid to such widow an immediate annuity in an amount computed as provided in subsection (m), and there shall also be paid to or on behalf of each such child an immediate annuity equal to one-half the amount of the annuity of such widow, but not to exceed $900 per year divided by the number of such children or $360 per year, whichever is lesser; or “(3) if such judge leaves no surviving widow or widower but leaves a surviving dependent child or children, there shall be paid to or on behalf of each such child an immediate annuity equal to the amount of the annuity to which such widow would have been entitled under paragraph (2) of this subsection had she survived, but not to exceed $480 per year. “The annuity payable to a widow under this subsection shall be terminable upon such widow’s death or remarriage. The annuity payable to a child under this subsection shall be terminable upon (A) his attaining the age of 18 years, (B) his marriage, or (C) his death, whichever first occurs, except that if such child is incapable of self-support by reason of mental or physical disability his annuity shall be terminable only upon death, marriage, or recovery from such disability. In case of the death of a widow of a judge leaving a dependent child or children of the judge surviving her, the annuity of such child or children shall be recomputed and paid as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection. In any case in which the annuity of a dependent child is terminated under this subsection, the annuities of any remaining dependent child or children, based upon the service of the same judge, shall be recomputed and paid as though the child whose annuity was so terminated had not survived such judge. “(i) Determination of Dependency and Disability.—Questions of dependency and disability arising under this section shall be determined by the chief judge subject to review only by the Tax Court, the decision of which shall be final and conclusive. The chief judge may order or direct at any time such medical or other examinations as he shall deem necessary to determine the facts relative to the nature and decree of disability of any dependent child who is an annuitant or applicant for annuity under this section, and may suspend or deny any such annuity for failure to submit to any examination so ordered or directed. “(j) Payments in Certain Cases.— “(1) In any case in which— “(A) a judge electing under subsection (b) shall die while in office (whether in regular active service or retired from

26 USC 7447.

 such service under section 7447), before having rendered 5 years of civilian service computed as prescribed in subsection (n), or after having rendered 5 years of such civilian service but without a survivor or survivors entitled to annuity benefits provided by subsection (h), or “(B) the right of all persons entitled to annuity under subsection (h) based on the service of such judge shall terminate before a valid claim therefor shall have been established, 75 Stat. 799 the total amount credited to the individual account of such judge, with interest at 4 percent per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 percent per annum thereafter, compounded on December 31 of each year, to the date of the death of such judge, shall be paid, upon the establishment of a valid claim therefor, to the person or persons surviving at the date title to the payment arises, in the following order of precedence, and such payment shall be a bar to recovery by any other person: “(i) to the beneficiary or beneficiaries whom the judge may have designated by a writing filed prior to his death with the chief judge, except that in the case of the chief judge such designation shall be by a writing filed by him, prior to his death, as prescribed by the Tax Court; “(ii) if there be no such beneficiary, to the widow of such judge; “(iii) if none of the above, to the child or children of such judge and the descendants of any deceased children by representation; “(iv) if none of the above, to the parents of such judge or the survivor of them; “(v) if none of the above, to the duly appointed executor or administrator of the estate of such judge; and “(vi) if none of the above, to such other next of kin of such judge as may be determined by the chief judge to be entitled under the laws of the domicile of such judge at the time of his death. Determination as to the widow, child, or parent of a judge for the purposes of this paragraph shall be made by the chief judge without regard to the definitions in subsections (a) (6) and (7). “(2) In any case in which the annuities of all persons entitled to annuity based upon the service of a judge shall terminate before the aggregate amount of annuity paid equals the total amount credited to the individual account of such judge, with interest at 4 percent per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 percent per annum thereafter, compounded on December 31 of each year, to the date of the death of such judge, the difference shall be paid, upon establishment of a valid claim therefor, in the order of precedence prescribed in paragraph (1). “(3) Any accrued annuity remaining unpaid upon the termination (other than by death) of the annuity of any person based upon the service of a judge shall be paid to such person. Any accrued annuity remaining unpaid upon the death of any person receiving annuity based upon the service of a judge shall be paid, upon the establishment of a valid claim therefor, in the following order of precedence: “(A) to the duly appointed executor or administrator of the estate of such person; “(B) if there is no such executor or administrator payment may be made, after the expiration of thirty days from the date of the death of such person, to such individual or individuals as may appear in the judgment of the chief judge to be legally entitled thereto, and such payment shall be a bar to recovery by any other individual. “(k) Payments to Persons Under Legal Disability.—Where any payment under this section is to be made to a minor, or to a person mentally incompetent or under other legal disability adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, such payment may be made to the person who is constituted guardian or other fiduciary by the law of the State of residence of such claimant or is otherwise legally 75 Stat. 800 vested with the care of the claimant or his estate. Where no guardian or other fiduciary of the person under legal disability has been appointed under the laws of the State of residence of the claimant, the chief judge shall determine the person who is otherwise legally vested with the care of the claimant or his estate. “(l) Method of Payment of Annuities.—Annuities granted under the terms of this section shall accrue monthly and shall be due and payable in monthly installments on the first business day of the month following the month or other period for which the annuity shall have accrued. None of the moneys mentioned in this section shall be assignable, either in law or in equity, or subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process. “(m) Computation of Annuities.—The annuity of the widow of a judge electing under subsection (b) shall be an amount equal to the sum of (1) 1¼ percent of the average annual salary received by such judge for judicial service and any other prior allowable service during the last 5 years of such service prior to his death, or prior to his

26 USC 7447.

 receiving retired pay under section 7447(d), whichever first occurs, multiplied by the sum of his years of judicial service, his years of prior allowable service as a Senator, Representative, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner in Congress, his years of prior allowable service performed as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, and his years, not exceeding 15, of prior allowable service performed as a congressional employee (as defined in section 1(c) of the Civil Service

70 Stat. 743.

 Retirement Act (5 U.S.C. 2251(c)), and (2) three-fourths of 1 percent of such average annual salary multiplied by his years of any other prior allowable service, but such annuity shall not exceed 37½ percent of such average annual salary and shall be further reduced in accordance with subsection (d), if applicable. “(n) Includible Service.—Subject to the provisions of subsection (d), the years of service of a judge which are allowable as the basis for calculating the amount of the annuity of his widow shall include his years of service as a member of the United States Board of Tax Appeals and as a judge of the Tax Court, his years of service as a Senator, Representative, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner in Congress, his years of active service as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States not exceeding 5 years in the aggregate and not including any such service for which credit is allowed for the purposes of retirement or retired pay under any other provision of law, and his years of any other civilian service within the purview of section

70 Stat. 745.

 3 of the Civil Service Retirement Act (5 U.S.C. 2253). “(o) Simultaneous Entitlement.—Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent a widow eligible therefor from simultaneously receiving an annuity under this section and any annuity to which she would otherwise be entitled under any other law without regard to this section, but in computing such other annuity service used in the computation of her annuity under this section shall not be credited. “(p) Estimates of Expenditures.—The chief judge shall submit to the Bureau of the Budget annual estimates of the expenditures and appropriations necessary for the maintenance and operation of the survivors annuity fund, and such supplemental and deficiency estimates as may be required from time to time for the same purposes, according to law. The chief judge shall cause periodic examinations of the survivors annuity fund to be made by an actuary, who may be an actuary employed by another department of the Government temporarily assigned for the purpose, and whose findings and recommendations shall be transmitted by the chief judge to the Tax Court. “(q) Transitional Provision.—In the case of a judge who dies 75 Stat. 801 within 6 months after the date of enactment of this section after having rendered at least 5 years of civilian service computed as prescribed in subsection (n), but without having made an election as provided in subsection (b), an annuity shall be paid to his widow and surviving dependents as is provided in this section, as if such judge had elected on the day of his death to bring himself within the purview of this section but had not made the deposit provided for by subsection (d). An annuity shall be payable under this section computed upon the basis of the actual length of service as a judge and other allowable service of the judge and subject to the reduction required by subsection (d) even though no deposit has been made, as required by subsection (h) with respect to any of such service. “(r) Waiver of Civil Service Benefits.—Any judge electing under subsection (b) shall, at the time of such election, waive all benefits under the Civil Service Retirement Act. Such a waiver shall

5 USC 2251 note.

 be made in the same manner and shall have the same force and effect as a waiver filed under section 7447(g)(3).

 list maintained under section 1376(a) of this title; “(2) cadets at the United States Military Academy, the United States Air Force Academy, or the Coast Guard Academy; and “(3) midshipmen. “(b) To provide an annuity under section 1434 of this title, a person covered by subsection (a) may elect to receive a reduced amount of the retired or retainer pay to which he may become entitled as a result of service in his armed force. Except as otherwise provided in this section, unless it is made before he completes 18 years of service for which he is entitled to credit in the computation of his basic pay, the election must be made at least three years before the first day for which retired or retainer pay is granted. However, if, because of military operations, a member is assigned to an isolated station or is missing, interned in a neutral country, captured by a hostile force, or beleaguered or besieged, and for that reason is unable to make an election before completing 18 years of that service, he may make the election, to become effective immediately, within one year after he ceases to be assigned to that station or returns to the jurisdiction of his armed force, as the case may be. A member to whom retired pay or retainer pay is granted retroactively, and who is otherwise eligible to make an election, may make the election within 90 days after receiving notice that such pay has been granted to him. “(c) An election may be changed or revoked by the elector before the first day for which retired or retainer pay is granted. However, unless made on the basis of restored mental competency under section

70A Stat. 109.

 1433 of this title, the change or revocation is not effective if made less than three years before the first day for which retired or retainer pay is granted. “(d) If an election made under this section is found to be void for any reason except fraud or willful intent of the member making the election, he may make a corrected election at any time within 90 days after he is notified in writing that the election is void. A corrected election made under this subsection is effective as of the date of the voided election it replaces.”

The reduction in his retired or retainer pay on account of each annuity, and the amount of each annuity, shall be determined in the same manner that it would be determined if the other annuity had not been elected.”; and (2) by adding the following new subsection at the end thereof: “(d) Under regulations prescribed under section 1444(a) of this

The absence of an eligible beneficiary shall not of itself be a basis for such action. However, no amounts by which retired or retainer pay is reduced may be refunded to him under this subsection.”

In the case of any shift of the Fire Department beginning on one day and extending without a break in continuity into the next day, or in the case of two shifts beginning on the same day, the Commissioners are authorized to designate the shift which shall be the workday, and the entire shift so designated shall be considered the workday for all pay and leave purposes. “(e)

The amount of the allowance shall be determined at the time of the acquisition of the obsolete vessel by the Commission.

CHINA

August 31, 1961

[S. Con. Res. 34]

 Whereas the Government of the United States enjoys close and friendly relations with the Government of the Republic of China, including treaty obligations which this Government honors; and Whereas the Republic of China has faithfully discharged its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations; and Whereas the Chinese Communist government has flagrantly violated basic human rights, has imposed on the Chinese people one of the most brutal regimes known to history, and is without authority to speak for the Chinese people other than the authority that derives from usurpation and tyranny; and Whereas the Chinese Communist regime by its aggression in Korea, its repression in Tibet, its threats against its neighbors, its failure to release American prisoners as promised, its export of narcotics to non-Communist countries, in collaboration with criminal elements in these countries, on a scale that makes it the major source of the international illicit narcotics traffic, and its hostility toward the United States and the United Nations has demonstrated that it is not qualified for representation in the United Nations: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),

[S. Con. Res. 14]

 “UNCLE SAM” Whereas in a world largely hostile to the idea of freedom we must keep alive the cherished values of our way of life; and Whereas at a moment in our history when we need all our sense of purpose and capability to match the challenge of disciplined communism some say that our national symbol of “Uncle Sam” is archaic and should be disowned; and Whereas the symbol of “Uncle Sam” was evoked out of the needs of a young Nation, and is linked to a grassroots character, Samuel Wilson, of Troy, New York, who still represents the strength and idealism that made up the greatest Nation in the world; and Whereas the years 1766 to 1854, the years in which Samuel Wilson lived, witnessed the birth and glorious progress of the United States, spanning as they did the period before the Declaration of Independence to the emergence of the United States as a world power; and Whereas no congressional action has ever been taken to make the symbol of that American tradition, the symbol of “Uncle Sam,” official and permanent: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),

Salutes to “Uncle Sam” Wilson.
That the Congress salutes “Uncle Sam” Wilson, of Troy, New York, as progenitor of America’s national symbol of “Uncle Sam”.

September 22, 1961

[H. Con. Res. 389]

 Whereas the encouragement of private and public participation in international economic development is vital to the achievement of a free and democratic economic growth process, and the responsibility for stimulating international economic growth, and especially the growth of those nations in the less-developed areas, must be shared and supported, in accordance with their capacity, by the peoples of the world, whether as individuals or through their private organizations and their governments; and Whereas the Government of the United States and its people have consistently endorsed the aspirations of all peoples and nations to realize a free and prosperous society and have, toward these ends, actively supported and participated in programs for free economic development; and Whereas the success or failure of these objectives and the freedom of the individual, his nation, and the world, depend upon the scope and quality of public understanding and the ability of the individual to focus on this historic movement of our century, and is dependent upon the ability of the leaders in the great endeavor to understand each other and each other’s efforts and thus find ways by which mutual efforts can be joined for the good of all mankind; and Whereas in order to assist in bringing about a greater understanding and acceleration of this effort, a World Economic Progress Assembly and Exposition, privately organized, financed, and sponsored, will be presented in November 1962, in Chicago, Illinois, at the new exposition center known as McCormick Place; and Whereas the purpose of this assembly and exposition is to bring together for the first time a world assembly to examine and explore the many diverse elements of mankind’s struggle to assure to itself adequate food, clothing, shelter, health, education, and other elements of its well-being and to provide the means through exhibits, meetings, and special events to translate what is now a vague topic to many into an understandable reality; and Whereas further purposes of this assembly and exposition are to provide the opportunity to bring to the United States, which has spear headed the effort for the betterment of mankind, representatives of national governments and international and national government and private agencies including foundations and educational, religious, labor, banking, and business organizations and institutions and the general public to enable them, and their American counter parts, to come together to report, explain, and evaluate their progress, roles, and operations, catalog needs as yet unmet, exchange views and plan within a coherent framework the new opportunities for private and government cooperation, chart new and mutually productive and advantageous paths into a future, and achieve a closer understanding and collaboration in this great and essential endeavor; and Whereas it is the declared policy of the United States to encourage the contribution of United States enterprise toward economic strength of less-developed countries, through private trade and investment abroad and exchange of ideas and technical information, and to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries, using to the maximum extent practicable the facilities of private agencies, and the World Economic Progress Assembly and Exposition will provide a unique and effective means of carrying out these objectives; and Whereas the President of the United States, recognizing that the assembly and exposition provide a response to the urgent need to 75 Stat. 970 broaden understanding, at home and abroad, of the progress and challenge of international economic development and that the participation of the American people through various United States Government programs in the development of the economies of other nations and in the evolution of international economic growth is an integral part of the story to be projected at the proposed assembly and exposition, has therefore instructed the various agencies and departments of the Government concerned to assist in every way possible in contributing to the success of the event; Now, therefore, belt Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

Endorsement.
That it is the sense of the Congress that the World Economic Progress Assembly and Exposition is consistent with the objectives of the Government of the United States and has an unusual opportunity to make a significant contribution to the objectives of the United States and to all who seek to realize a society in which man and nations can realize their potential in freedom and peace.
Sec. 2. The President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation reciting the purposes of the World Economic Progress Assembly and Exposition and inviting participation by all concerned with international economic development.

 Agriculture advised me he had reason to believe that tung oil and tung nuts are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to tung nuts; and 75 Stat. 988 WHEREAS, on August 30, 1960, I requested the United States Tariff Commission to make an investigation under

 the Said section 22 with respect to this matter; and WHEREAS the Tariff Commission has made such investigation and has reported to me its findings and recommendations made in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, on the basis of the investigation and report of the Tariff Commission, I find that, in the absence of import restrictions beyond October 31, 1960, tung oil and tung nuts are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to materially interfere with the said price-support program; and WHEREAS I find and declare that the imposition of the limitations on imports of tung oil and tung nuts hereinafter proclaimed is shown by such investigation of the Tariff Commission to be necessary in order that the entry of tung oil and tung nuts will not materially interfere with such price-support program; and WHEREAS I find that the limitations on imports of tung oil and tung nuts hereinafter proclaimed will not reduce the permissible total quantity of tung oil and tung nuts which may be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, to proportionately less than 50 per centum of the average annual quantity of tung oil and tung nuts entered during the representative period November 1, 1952, to October 31, 1956, inclusive:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, do hereby proclaim as follows:

1. For each of the three twelve-month periods beginning on November 1, 1960, November 1, 1961, and November 1, 1962, the total aggregate quantity of tung oil 75 Stat. 989 and tung nuts (in terms of their oil equivalent) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption shall not exceed 26,000,000 pounds, of which not more than 6,500,000 pounds shall be entered or withdrawn during the first quarter of each such twelve-month period. 2. Of the 26,000,000 pounds specified in paragraph 1 not more than 22,100,000 pounds shall be the product of Argentina, nor more than 2,964,000 pounds shall be the product of Paraguay, nor more than 936,000 pounds shall be the product of other foreign countries; and of the 6,500,000 pounds specified in paragraph 1 not more than 5,525,000 pounds shall be the product of Argentina, nor more than 741,000 pounds shall be the product of Paraguay, nor more than 234,000 pounds shall be the product of other foreign countries.

For the purposes of this proclamation the oil equivalent of tung nuts shall be computed on the basis of 15.9 pounds of oil for each 100 pounds of whole nuts, and on the basis of 35.8 pounds of oil for each 100 pounds of decorticated nuts.

In order to assure equitable treatment to supplying countries, all tung oil and tung nuts entered or withdrawn pursuant to this proclamation shall have been a direct shipment destined to the United States on an original through bill of lading from the country of production.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

 A Proclamation WHEREAS it has long been our custom as a people to pause from our labors for one day at the close of the harvest season and give special thanks to Almighty God for the bounty which He has bestowed upon our land; and WHEREAS again this year we have been blessed with an abundant harvest; and WHEREAS it is fitting and appropriate at this time of national thanksgiving that we should remember and respond to the needs of those of other lands; and WHEREAS the Congress of the United States, by a joint resolution approved December 26, 1941 (55 Stat. 862; 5 U.S.C. 87b), has designated the fourth Thursday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, in consonance with the aforesaid resolution of Congress, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 24, 1960, as a day of national thanksgiving; and I urge the people of the United States to give grateful thought to the observance of this day.

Furthermore, I call upon our people, while giving thanks for our blessings, to direct their thoughts to the peoples of other lands less fortunate than we. In particular, I urge my fellow Americans to support and assist the efforts which we as a Nation, working individually and in cooperation with other nations, are directing toward the solution of the world-food problem.

Under our Food-for-Peace Program, a distinguished company of voluntary citizens’ groups and religious societies is making heart-warming contributions to this effort. I ask our people to give them continued support.

75 Stat. 996

At the same time, I urge my fellow Americans to assist in the Freedom-from-Hunger Campaign of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Our Government fully supports the objectives of this organization. But success of its campaign requires the active cooperation of generous citizens, and of public and private groups, in our country and around the world.

Let us hope that some day, under a benevolent Providence and through the best use of the world’s Grod-given resources, each nation will have reason to celebrate its own thanksgiving day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL By the President of the United States of America

December 6, 1960

[No. 3382]

 A Proclamation

The years 1961 to 1965 will mark the one-hundredth anniversary of the American Civil War.

That war was America’s most tragic experience. But like most truly great tragedies, it carries with it an enduring lesson and a profound inspiration. It was a demonstration of heroism and sacrifice by men and women of both sides who valued principle above life itself and whose devotion to duty is a part of our Nation’s noblest tradition.

Both sections of our now magnificently reunited country sent into their armies men who became soldiers as good as any who ever fought under any flag. Military history records nothing finer than the courage and spirit displayed at such battles as Chickamauga, Antietam, Kenesaw Mountain, and Gettysburg. That America could produce men so valiant and so enduring is a matter for deep and abiding pride.

The same spirit on the part of the people at home supported and strengthened those soldiers through four years of great trial. That a Nation which contained hardly more than thirty million people. North and South together, could sustain six hundred thousand deaths without faltering is a lasting testimonial to something unconquerable in the American spirit. And that a transcending sense of unity and larger common purpose could, in the end, cause the men and women who had suffered so greatly to close ranks once the contest ended and to go on together to build a greater, freer, and happier America must be a source of inspiration as long as our country may last.

By a joint resolution approved on September

36 USC 741–749.

7, 1957 (71 Stat. 626), the Congress established the Civil War Centennial Commission to prepare plans and 75 Stat. 999 programs for the nationwide observances of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Civil War, and requested the President to issue proclamations inviting the people of the United States to participate in those observances.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite all of the people of our country to take a direct and active part in the Centennial of the Civil War.

I request all units and agencies of government—Federal, State, and local—and their officials to encourage, foster, and participate in Centennial observances. And I especially urge our Nation’s schools and colleges, its libraries and museums, its churches and religious bodies, its civic, service, and patriotic organizations, its learned and professional societies, its arts, sciences, and industries, and its informational media, to plan and carry out their own appropriate Centennial observances during the years 1961 to 1965; all to the end of enriching our knowledge and appreciation of this momentous chapter in our Nation’s history and of making this memorable period truly a Centennial for all Americans.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this sixth day of December in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and [seal] sixty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-fifth.

 A Proclamation WHEREAS, pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624), the Secretary

64 Stat. 261.

 of Agriculture advised the President that he had reason to believe that certain cotton products produced in any stage preceding the spinning into yarn are being or are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program and other programs or operations undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to cotton or products thereof, or to reduce substantially the amount of cotton processed in the United States from cotton or products thereof with respect to which any such program or operation is being undertaken; and WHEREAS, on January 18, 1961, under the authority of the said section 22, the President requested the United States Tariff Commission to make an investigation with respect to this matter; and WHEREAS, in accordance with the said section 22, as implemented by Executive Order No. 7233 of November 23, 1935, the Tariff Commission has made such investigation and has reported to me its findings and recommendations made in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, on the basis of the investigation and report of the Tariff Commission, I find that the articles with respect to which import restrictions are hereinafter proclaimed are being or are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program and other programs or operations undertaken by the Department of Agri-75 Stat. 1098culture with respect to cotton or products thereof; and WHEREAS I find and declare that the import restrictions hereinafter proclaimed are shown by such investigation of the Tariff Commission to be necessary in order that the entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption of the said articles will not render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program and other programs or operations undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to cotton or products thereof:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as

amended, do hereby proclaim that the total aggregate quantity of cotton products produced in any stage preceding the spinning into yarn, except cotton wastes, which may be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in any 12-month period, beginning September 11 in 1961 and in subsequent years shall not exceed 1,000 pounds, which permissible total quantity I find and declare to be proportionately not less than 50 per centum of the total quantity of such articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the representative period from January 1, 1940, to December 31, 1953, inclusive.

General.

The following tables are designed to serve as a guide to prior laws and other Federal instruments which are patently amended, repealed, referred to, or otherwise cited by the textual provisions of the public laws contained in this volume. These tables were initiated as a separate pamphlet to accompany Volume 70 of the United States Statutes at Large. Beginning with Volume 71, they are being published as an integral part of each volume.

From time to time the tables will be cumulated and made separately available as a convenience to users. Tables 1–9 of Volumes 70–79 covering the years 1956 through 1965 have been cumulated and published as a separate pamphlet. Coverage and arrangement of the tables are subject to change with a view to improved usefulness.

The arrangement of the tables is outlined above. There are two basic groups: (1) Tables 1–10 cover amendments, repeals, and other actions directly affecting prior laws and other Federal instruments; and (2) Tables 11–19 cover all citations and other references to prior laws and other Federal instruments.

Details of Arrangement

Tables 1–9 are limited to cases in which prior laws and other Federal instruments are expressly affected.

Table 10 is a catch-all table designed as a finding aid to relationships which are expressed in general terms. Listed in this table are all public laws in this volume which contain such provisions as “notwithstanding any other provision of law,” and “all laws in conflict with this law are hereby repealed.”

1111 1112

Tables 11–19 cover all other cases in which prior laws or other Federal instruments are mentioned in the text of the public laws in this volume, without regard to the purpose underlying such reference.

In each of the basic groups the first and largest table is entitled “General Legislation,” and contains listings of all laws affected which have not been codified in the Revised Statutes, the Internal Revenue Codes, the Canal Zone Code, or in those titles of the United States Code or District of Columbia Code which have been enacted into law. Succeeding tables cover these codified provisions, as well as other instruments such as reorganization plans, veterans’ regulations, Executive orders and proclamations, and treaties and international agreements. The numbering of the tables in the two groups is parallel. Thus Table 2 and Table 12 both relate to the Revised Statutes; Table 7 and Table 17 both relate to veterans’ regulations.

Table 1 is arranged chronologically. In preparing this table the “basic act” principle has been followed. Under this principle the key listing of amendatory legislation will be found under the basic act affected, rather than under intervening amendments thereto. Furthermore, all laws included are treated as if tables covering prior volumes of the United States Statutes at Large were in existence. Thus, no attempt is made to give an historical picture of a law, and only the latest amendment in the chain will be reflected. Occasionally, to promote clarity, cross references have been supplied at key points.

Users of Table 1 should, therefore, look under the date, public law number, or statutes volume and page number of the basic act affected, in order to determine whether changes have been made by the public laws contained in this volume. Although a given section of any act may have been added at a later date, the section is carried under the date and statutes citation of the basic act. For this reason the page numbers in the column headed “Statutes volume and page” are the numbers of the page on which each act begins.

All tables are arranged chronologically, except where the existence of a system of codification makes possible a sequential arrangement from the lowest to the highest title or section number. In Tables 1–10 there is a “Comment” column, in which the nature of the affecting action is described. These are editorial comments, intended to reflect what is patent in the laws reviewed, and every effort has been made to avoid interpretations.

In Tables 11–19 the “Comment” column is unnecessary, since in each instance the comment would be “Cited” or “Referred to.” In these tables, moreover, the number of columns has been held to a minimum in the interest of brevity. Thus Table 11 contains only three columns listing the date and number of the law referred to, and the page number in this volume at which the reference may be found.

Caveat.

All the tables are editorially compiled and presented as reference guides only. Hence they have no evidentiary status or legal effect. Indirect or implied relationships are not included. These may be found through use of the Subject Index or through research based on the text itself.

The Office of the Federal Register invites criticisms or suggestions with a view to improving the tables wherever possible.
