MARTIN OF ALABAMA EXTENSIONS OF REMARKS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, September 3, 1965 Mr. MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, under permission to extend my remarks in the RECORD I include my report to my constituents of February 11, 1965: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE CONSIDERS APPALACHIA BILL (Washington Report From Congressman JIM MARTIN) The Committee on Public Works, of which I am member, is considering the Appalachia bill at the present time. This is one of those pieces of legislation upon which a Member of Congress must search the deepest recesses of his conscience to find the answer as to how he should vote. One thing is certain, when a bill comes before the House a Member must vote either "Yes" or "No." It is not possible to say, "Yes, but * * *.” There is no argument with the objectives of the Appalachia bill. All of us are concerned with the poverty of some of our people. I am deeply aware that there are those in the 7th District who are victims of poverty through no fault of their own. We should and must find a way to help them. The problem arises in considering what the present proposal will do. Congress is being asked to vote billions of dollars of your money to help better. the economic condition of a part of our country. Some of this money will be spent in our area, in the counties of the 7th District. Here are some of the questions in connection with the bill demanding an answer: "How much of the total money will be spent in Alabama? Will the funds be used to help those in need or will they be used instead as a political slush fund? Are the funds going to be spent on legitimate projects which will bring lasting benefits to our people? How much of the money is going to States which do not have critical problems?" To find answers to these questions I intend to thoroughly study the bill, take part in its consideration before my committee where I will have an opportunity to question its sponsors and those who will administer it. Only after such thorough consideration will I make up my mind on how I will vote. Of one thing you may be sure, I will not use the poverty of some of our people for political purposes. I will vote my honest convictions in what I believe to be the best interest of the people I represent. I shall report my vote and the reasons for it to you so that the people will be the final judges of my action. ALABAMA DEFENDED I was proud to be a member of the Alabama delegation in the House last Thursday when we presented a united front in defense of the people of Selma and other communities in our State. For days we had been reading distorted stories of happenings in Selma. We were able to put into the RECORD facts which the people in other sections of the Nation had not had the chance to read. We showed that the people of Selma were making a conscientious effort to obey the law and that racial tensions and hatreds were being stirred up by imported agitators whose main purpose is continuing racial tensions rather than helping to find proper solutions to trying problems. BRIEFS OF THE WEEK A startling exposure of Soviet piracy was made this week by Prof. John Isaacs, director of the Scripps marine life research program. He disclosed that a Navy radar picket ship chased a Russian fishing trawler away from an anchored buoy 150 miles off the coast of San Diego. The Russians had stripped the buoy of instruments. This was not the first case of such piracy. The Russians know we are ahead of them in learning the secrets of the sea, and a shortcut to catching up is to frisk our research buoys and steal our equipment. Here are some facts on spending during the last 4 years of Democrat administration: 1961, spending $99.5 billion or $2.3 billion than was received; 1962, spending $107.7 billion or $5.8 billion more than was received; 1963, spending $113.8 billion or $4.1 billion more than was received; 1964, $120.3 billion or $4.8 billion more than was received. The outlook for fiscal 1965 is for spending $121.3 billion or $4 billion more than will be taken in, and the forecast for 1966 is spending amounting to $127.4 billion with an additional $4 billion deficit. Yet we are being told this is a frugal administration. I am happy to report that my wife, Pat, is enjoying an active part in the potilical life of Washington. She was elected as treasurer of the 89th Congress Club, an organization of the wives of Members who were newly elected in November. Survivorship Benefits for Servicemen—II EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. OLIN E. TEAGUE OF TEXAS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, September 3, 1965 Mr. TEAGUE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, following my earlier remarks on survivorship benefits, I include as a part of my remarks a table showing the benefits available to a private first class who suffers a service-connected death and who leaves a widow and one child: SURVIVORSHIP BENEFITS FOR SERVICEMEN DYING FROM SERVICE-CONNECTED CAUSES ASSUMPTIONS Private first class, U.S. Army; age 20 at death, death was service-connected, 2 years service at death, 2 years in grade at death, assumed average monthly pay was $160, base pay at death was $148.50 a month; left Washington Report EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JAMES D. MARTIN OF ALABAMA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, September 3, 1965 Mr. MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, under permission to extend my remarks in the RECORD, I include my Washington Report to my constituents for September 6, 1965: POLITICS AND POVERTY (Washington Report from Congressman JIM MARTIN) One of the hit songs of the musical show of some years back, "Fiorello," was "Politics and Poker." Today under Lyndon Johnson, the theme song of his administration is fast becoming "Politics and Poverty." Nothing is being overlooked by the President in using every facet of Government to sew up even a single vote. Poverty is the key word to initiate Federal programs, control schools, supervise business and industry, reduce the power of the police and local law enforcement agencies, and constantly build a larger and larger image of L.B.J. as the sole power to deal with and solve all human problems. Many Members of Congress are becoming very much concerned with the handling of the poverty program which is being openly and arrogantly used by the Democrats to strengthen their political machines and to control future elections. Whether enough Congressmen will be sufficiently concerned to reassert the legislative powers of Congress remains to be seen. HOME RULE BILL A TEST Some of this concern may have been the reason the President has had such difficulty in securing the needed 218 signatures to the discharge petition for home rule for the District of Columbia. Even though L.B.J. and Martin Luther King injected the idea of riots and violence in Washington if Congress failed to meet their demands on home rule, some Congressmen were reluctant to sign under that kind of threat. Responsible Congressmen, who take seriously their obligation to represent the people, resent pressure by the President or self-styled leaders of minority groups. Passing legislation under threat of violence and demonstrations is contrary to the American way, and most Congressmen put honor, love of country and responsibility to the people above party poli It is time the pioneer spirit is revived among our people. The President should be informed, in no uncertain terms, that his use of poverty, race and other votegetting gimmicks is not good politics. The country simply cannot afford to support mil lions in idleness or to improve the economic condition for those who do not care enough to try to help themselves, just to perfect the Johnson political machine. MORE ON RENT SUBSIDIES For the further enlightenment of the junior Senator from Alabama and those editorial writers who are still insisting that his housing bill with its rent subsidy provision cannot be used to force integrated neighborhoods, I call attention to several items from the September 6 issue of U.S. News & World Report: "NEWSGRAM, TOMORROW.-Change is occurring in goals of this country's Negro 'revolution.' Equal rights no longer are the goal. Rights are guaranteed by law. Equal opportunity is outmoded, too. It's recognized in law. Equal results now are the goal the Government itself is outlining. It's not quite clear what 'equal results' will involve. Rent subsidy to help Negroes move from slums to suburbs is one phase of the new program to get results. Income 'supplements' to bring all incomes up to $3,000 is another. More are being thought up. In the new goal is at least the suggestion of similarity to the dictum of Karl Marx: 'From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.' Costs to reach the new goal can be very high." WASHINGTON WHISPERS Some liberal Democrats in Congress are pictured as showing some alarm about the political reaction that may come from use of rent subsidies to move Negro families from city slums into better-class suburban neighborhoods. In Washington, D.C., a proposal is being advanced which calls for some 6,000 poverty-stricken Negro families to be moved from the city to the Capital's suburbs in Maryland and Virginia. DANGER FACING BIG CITIES "The idea of subsidized incomes has been suggested with Federal payments to families with incomes below a fixed level. Rent subsidies, authorized by a new Federal Housing Act, are seen as one way to help break up Negro ghettos and scatter Negroes through white neighborhoods. In Washington, D.C., officials are seeking to move 6,000 Negro families to the suburbs through this plan." REPORT ON REPEAL OF SECTION 14 (b) The fight to keep section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act which protects the rights of the States to have or not to have rightto-work laws is not over. Although the liberals passed the bill in the House, the Senate is stiffening opposition against repeal. At the present time about 26 Senators have agreed to take part in extended debate on repeal after all other Senate business has been concluded. This could mean action to repeal right-to-work laws will not be taken in this session and this will give the people more time to let their Senators know how Washington Report EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JAMES D. MARTIN OF ALABAMA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. Friday, September 3, 1965 MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, under permission to extend my remarks in the RECORD I include my report to the people of the Seventh District of Alabama for February 18, 1965: WASHINGTON REPORT-SELMA DEFENDED BY CONGRESSMAN JIM MARTIN Two of my Republican colleagues from Alabama, JOHN BUCHANAN and GLENN ANDREWS, joined me last week in taking the House floor to give the facts on the situation in Selma. The day before the liberal Democrats who had gone to Selma spent several hours painting a sordid picture of Selma and castigating the law enforcement officers there. In our presentation we Alabamians pointed out that the rights of all people may be secured only through the process of law and order. Violence in the streets, defiance of duly constituted law enforcement officers and mob rule results only in anarchy and threatens freedom for all the people of a community and the Nation. It would be interesting to see how tolerant many of the northern liberals would be if their communities were subjected to the mob rule such as Selma has experienced. I wonder how forgiving they would be if their courts were disrupted, their business ground to a standstill, their young people drawn from their classes by some promise of utopia or some threat of impending doom. Of course, the liberals will not answer these questions. Too many of them do not want a reasonable discussion of social problems. They are more concerned with votes than they are with the welfare of individuals. COMMITTEE APPROVES APPALACHIA BILL My Committee on Public Works approved the Appalachia bill after a long and heated meeting. While the objectives of this legislation are laudable, the bill is poorly written and in many cases, discriminatory. Every attempt by the Republicans on the committee to improve the bill was beaten down by the Democrat majority. It is evident the liberal majority is going to pass whatever legislation demanded by the administration without change and regardless of the cost to the people. In order to correct at least part of the inequity of the bill, I tried to have Lamar County included in the bill. I came within one vote of succeeding, even some of my Democrat colleagues giving me support. Another attempt will be made to include Lamar when the bill is before the House. If the Appalachia bill is really supposed to help poorer areas, Lamar is far more entitled to be included than many sections named in the measure. BRIEFS OF THE WEEK A move to correct some of the abuses which have developed in the financing of the Rural Electrification Administration, has been undertaken by some Republican Members of the House. Since its inception in the 1930's, REA has cost the people of the United States some $1.1 billion as the difference between the 2-percent interest rate the agency pays to borrow money from the Government and the 4.25-percent rate the Government has to pay to borrow the money it lends to REA. REA has gone far beyond its original purpose of bringing electricity to isolated rural areas. It is now a giant subsidized monopoly which threatens the operation of private power companies. Legislation introduced would make interest rates to REA more realistic. The value of the dollar is now down to 44.8 cents in spite of the fact the administration insists there is no inflation. There has been a steady decline since the advent of the New Frontier and the Great Society. The dollar was worth 46.9 cents in 1960, 46.4 in 1961, 45.9 in 1962, 45.4 in 1963, and 44.8 in 1964. Evidently the Great Society will be achieved when the dollar is worth nothing and all of the people are poverty stricken. What are our young people being taught in high school and college? National surveys of high school and college juniors reveal: 71 percent would deny an accused person the right to confront his accuser, 40 percent believed certain groups should be denied the right of peaceful assembly, 41 percent believed that we should cancel freedom of the press, 34 percent favored denying free speech to certain people, 26 percent would allow search and seizure without consent, 53 percent voted for Government ownership of banks, railroads, and steel companies; 56 percent voted for close Government regulation of all business, 62 percent said that the Government has the responsibility to provide jobs, 62 percent thought a worker should not produce all he can, 61 percent rejected the profit incentive as necessary to the survival of a free enterprise system, 84 percent denied that patriotism is vital and plays an important part in our lives. These surveys were conducted by Northwestern University, Purdue University, and U.S. News & World Report. The results emphasize the real educational challenge we face in America. Washington Report EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JAMES D. MARTIN OF ALABAMA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, September 3, 1965 Mr. MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, under permission to extend my remarks in the RECORD I include my newsletter to the people of the Seventh District of Alabama for February 25, 1965: WASHINGTON REPORT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY A MUST NOW (By Congressman JIM MARTIN) As many people contemplate the expected rewards in the dreams created by the glowing promises of the Great Society, too many overlook the growing crisis which threatens the whole structure of our economy. Reckless Federal spending and totally irresponsible fiscal policies are constantly reducing the value of the dollar, causing a continued drain on our gold supply, and could result in chaos. I am not trying to be an alarmist, but I did attempt to arouse interest in a return to fiscal sanity in remarks I put into the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. In the 4 years since the inauguration of a Democrat administration we have traversed the "New Frontier" and embarked upon the "Great Society"-a promisory golden age of Pericles-with deficit spending, mounting debt, dwindling gold and persistent unemployment marking every step of the way. Central authoritarian government has made sure that Federal contamination has insidiously or ruthlessly intruded into our State and local governments, our businesses, our homes, our daily lives. We have tried to spend ourselves rich, smart and secure, but all we have really done is undermine our basic structure of government, weaken our free enterprise system and impair our citizenship vis-a-vis the Federal bureaucracy. Since January 1961 the Federal spending level has increased by 25 percent from $80 to $100 billion; we have sizable deficits in each intervening year-our last balanced budget was in 1960; we have added $30 billion to the public debt; we have had a deficit every year in our balance-of-payments position; our gold supply has been reduced to its lowest level in decades. We are cutting our defense spending in the face of an alarming deterioration in world political conditions while we spend more for so-called welfare purposes. Now is the time for perceptive, forthright action to put our fiscal house in order. It is foolhardy and irresponsible to think that this impending crisis will disappear if we ignore it; it will be ruinous if we think that we can sweep it under the rug and go on our merry spending way. We must immediately adopt disciplined monetary policies that clearly demonstrate our firm resolve to protect the purchasing power of the dollar. Our fiscal policies must again reflect a determination to live within our means. Our economy must be kept competitive and free to operate without this stifling influence of Federal domination. If we will do these things, then, and only then, will we be able to achieve a great society that is something more than political hokum. BRIEFS OF THE WEEK Before the President tries to discourage travel abroad by American citizens by imposing a $100 tax in order to ease the drain on our gold supply, perhaps he should look into the millions we are making in illegal payments abroad. About $200 million a year is flowing abroad to veterans and beneficiaries of social security who are not citizens of the United States. Some $75 million worth of VA checks go to foreign countries. About 150,000 beneficiaries of social security payments live abroad, of which 60 percent are not U.S. citizens. We are paying social security to 3,096 noncitizens in West Germany, 7,094 noncitizens in Greece, 1,197 noncitizens in Ireland, 215 noncitizens in Israel, 20,093 noncitizens in Italy, 3,695 noncitizens in Japan, and 314 in the Netherlands. We are even sending payments behind the Iron Curtain to Yugoslavia. tain to Yugoslavia. In addition people are receiving U.S. payments who live in Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, the Congo, Costa Rica, Ecuador, the Ivory Coast, Luxembourg, Monaco, Panama, the Philippines, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Upper Volta. By a vote of 288 to 92 the House passed H.R. 45 to authorize the United States to participate in an increase in the resources of the Fund for Special Operation of the International American Development Bank. The bill carried an authorization of $750 million. I voted against the measure because it was brought out in debate it will further jeopardize our balance of payments problem. The House voted 302 to 63 to extend the life of the Disarmament Control Agency for 3 years with appropriations of $40 million. I voted against the extension. At a time when our enemies are arming to the teeth, American boys are dying in Vietnam and our world position is deteriorating, it borders on stupidity to spend millions of dollars on disarmament programs. We can do much better by enunciating a strong foreign policy which will convince the Communists they cannot achieve their goal of world domination. When we convince them that we are not weak and will do whatever is necessary to protect our Nation and the free world, that will be the time to talk about disarmament.

September 2, 1965, and Friday, September 3, 1965, was dispensed with. MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE A message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Hackney, one of its reading clerks, announced that the House had passed the bill (S. 1588) to authorize the Secretary of Commerce to undertake research, development, and demonstrations in high-speed ground transportation, and for other purposes, with amendments, in which it requested the concurrence of the Senate.
