Personal Position

The pros and cons of this issue
obviously include arguments which
themselves can touch off almost
endless debates.
My own feeling, which l have
stated on numerous occasions, is
this:
81 will continue to lend my
strongest support to the principle
that matters before the Senate
should be given the most extensive
debate, but l also feel strongly that
after the facts have been fully dis
cussed, every man should be called
on to see the issue to logical con-
clusion, and vote.
"Only in such way will the
citizens of America know how their
elected representatives feel about
the pressing issues of our times,
and only in such a way will civil
rights legislation be brought into
the open for the decisive action =
either pro or con to which it is
entitled. The same is true of other
matters.
Lengthy debate on important
matters is a dictate of wisdom;
endless debate is the offspring of
evasion, folly and waste"

sign to hang on his door during the
hours when the buildings cleaning
force might be at work.
Some Senators had cots rolled
into their offices.
Most members cancelled all THEN
outside engagements.
Realizing the importance OF
maintaining force strong enough
to participate effectively in any
parliamentary action, the Senators
were preparing to be on hand day
and night.
Sitting-lt-Out &.
l mention this because the tactic
of ''sitting-it-out" is one of the
basic remedies for obstruction in
the Senate when it is not possible
to muster 81 votes necessary to
cut off a prolonged debate.
In the past this strategy has
not always been effective, even
though anti-filibuster forces have
sometimes insisted on the strictest
observance Of various Senate rules
which might tend to wear down
the speakers.
In fact, a review of Congression-
al history viii show that tilibus-
tiers have had initial successes
against all types Of legislation,
ranging from a migratory bird bill
to a flood control measure.
However, as I mentioned in lass
