MINORITY REPORT

Inc underSigned strongly
believe that the Senate should
not confirm the nomination Of
Lewis l.. Strauss to be Secre-
tary Of Commerce. This is q
conclusion (which we do not
reach lightly and without the
deepest consideration, because
we believe, as do those sup
porting this nomination, that
great latitude should be given
to q President In the selec-
ton of individuals to I'LL high
posts in Government. How
ever. we cannot In good con-
science agree with the conten-
ton frequently advanced since
this nomination was submit
ted to the Senate that we who
serve in that body should auto
matically and unquestioningly
give our consent to every nomi-
nation
We believe the Senate should
no more abuse its power to
withhold its consent than the
President should abuse his
power to veto laws enacted by
the Congress. 1t is clear that
there have been and will con-
tinue TO be instances in which
both of these restraints are
entirely proper. We are
not prepared to abdicate the
role assigned to the Senate by
the Constitution. When seri-
GUS questions are raised as to
the fitness Of a nominee, as is
true in this case, we feel that
the Senate must discharge its
function carefully and reso-
lutely. The performance Of its
duty may be both distasteful
and time-consuming but 1t
cannot be shirked on either
ground.
Confirmation should be de-
MED a nominee for a cabinet
post only for very compelling
reasons. Two criteria were
cited by Senator Cotton during
the course Of our hearings. In
essence. the criteria were that
a nomination should be re-
jected for lack Of integrity or
lack Of competence.
AS to the latter point. we
freely concede that Mr.. Strauss
has demonstrated competence
In the investment banking field
and rendered wartime service
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-05

on evidence as to his past rec
ord, but mostly on the basis of
his conduct and demearior be-
fore us-that Lewis L. Strauss
is lacking in the degree of in
tegrity and competence essen
tial to proper performance Of
the duties Of the Office to which
he has been nominated. We re-
greet that this is so. but we can
not otherwise read the record
he has made before our COM
mittee. GT
We therefore recommend that
the Senate reject the nominal
ton Of Lewis L. Strauss to be
Secretary of Commerce.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-05

in the Navy. He no doubt pos
sesses the capacity 10 direct
significant business enterprises
or to administer certain type Of
governmental programs. How
ever. this does not necessarily
establish competence for the
post TO which he has beer
nominated.
When related TO a major ad-
ministrative and policymakinl
post in the executive branch O.
our Government. competence
involves something more thar
mere capability In other ven
lures. II also involves balance
stability, an appreciation fol
differing views, a willingness To
abandon or modify earlier
views when their error Is dem
onstrated, and an ability To
work with others in the diff
cult but essential adjustment
of the conflicting interests OF
different segments and sections
Of our Nation. II competence
in Government entails these
and similar traits and abilities
and we believe 1t does-then
Mr.. Strauss record leaves us
unconvinced Of his competence
for the high ONCE to which he
seeks confirmation.
Leaves Grave Doubts
1t is true that his activities
have been impressive in some
respects. We believe. however,
that a careful scrutiny of his
performance as chairman Of
the Atomic Energy Commission
from July 3. 1858, to June 80,
l958-and that constitutes his
principal record in the field OF
civil administration--leaves one
with grave doubts that he could
serve effectively as Secretary Of
Commerce.
We do not believe that q man
man be adjudged competent for
a cabinet post unless there
exists a sound basis for mu-
tual confidence between him
and the Congress.
Based in part upon the past
record Of his relations with diff
ferent committees Of the Con-
gress, and even more strongly
upon his conduct before our
committee. we have come to the
conviction that Mr.. Strauss
does not understand the proper
relationship between the legis-
lative and executive branches.
The record indicates he claims
for himself the right to with
hold certain information from
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-05

furnished by Mr.. Strauss. as
Secretary Of Commerce. would
be accurate or complete.
We believe that Congress is
entitled to all the facts
whether we agree with the con-
illusions Of the Secretary, or his
policies. and we say again that
we would not vote against Sec
Rotary Strauss solely because
OF disagreement with his policy
positions. but the hearings de-
veloped cold hard facts on even
this aspect. that 60 deep into
any hope OF his ever being, or
being able to be. q competent
Secretary Of Commerce.
We have concluded for all the
reasons set forth above--partly

trade policy and Is dealt with
at some length below and In
the appendix. This matter
deals with his responsibilities
as Secretary Of Commerce.
Mr.. Strauss has shown, q

demonstrated q tendency to
carry over from a high-security
area tatomic energy to the
area Of foreign commerce his
highly restrictive concepts as
to the permissible degree Of
contact with any nation.
We believe the printed hear
ings on this nomination DEM
onstrate how hard 1t is to get
o direct and complete answer
from the nominee. The ques-
tioning went on for days, yet
we had no choice but to con-
tinue II we wanted answers.
Standing alone. 1t might be
said that some Of the things
asked were not too important.
but tied into the whole proceed
ing, an impartial and unbiased
reader win clearly see the nee
essity for the manner in which
we proceeded.
We think the key role played
by Mr. Strauss in the notorious
Dixon-Yates case was a deliber-
ate use Of public office for i'm
proper aid to private business.
When the details Of this abor-
tive attempt to cripple iva was
finally brought TO the attention
Of the public through the eff
forts Of members Of Congress
and some Of our great news
papers. the President was forced
to repudiate the contract. But
Mr.. Strauss still defends that
contract as q good one. -. The
hearings disclose that there are
many unresolved questions that
indicate. we believe q great deal
more knowledge on the part of
Mr.. Strauss. than he has yet
revealed.
The record and background
Of the Dixon-Yates case Is not
such as to inspire confidence
in this nominees future rela-
tions with Congress and the
public II he Is confirmed. -.
II appears to US from care
full attention TO the testimony,
that Mr.. Strauss has withheld
or manipulated information to.
serve policy or personal ends.
On the basis Of the record. we.
have grave doubts as to-
whether or not information

Congress. The record also indi'
Gates such withholding is with,
out basis In law. and that tn,
nominee had no concern O
the law In this respect. From
the record II is clear that tn,
nominee time after, time hal
resisted furnishing the appro.
pirate committees OF the Con
gress with information needed
in order for Congress to prop,
erly perform its Legislative
functions.
In our opinion. he sought Il
mislead our committee eithel
by means Of what We consid.
cred direct Misrepresentation.
OF fact or by resort to hall
truths intended to divert the
committee from full discovery
of the relevant facts. Thi,
course. Of conduct was repeated
SO often that It must be judged
to have been deliberate. He
has so impaired our confidence
that we cannot recommend Ills
confirmation.
Most Of the committee ex.
pected at the outset to vote
for his confirmation. We en-
barked upon our hearings with
the expectation that those who
were critical Of Mr.. Straus:
would air their past differ
ences. that he would explain
his position on these matters
and that conflicts would be re-
solved.
Half Facts and Measurements
At the outset the committee
discussed with Mr.. Strauss GER
tain matters with which he
would deal as Secretary OF
Commerce. But even in this
phase Of our hearings we be-
gan to encounter half facts
and misstatements which later
seemed to US to become ha-
bitual. For instance, on the
first day Of our hearings in
his prepared statement the
committee received q very dis
torted view in respect to his
role in the development Of q
long-range detection system
and the development Of the
H-bomb. particularly in light
of subsequent testimony. Mr..
Strauss continued this pattern
the second day. making two
material misstatements Of fact
with regard to q very impor-
tant matter. namely. his re-
lection Of an application for
a license to EXPORT. This was
the central feature Of o fairly
extensive discussion Of foreign

DER TOUR freSloenJS. IL is cleai
that the nominee is highly
competent.
The next test Is that Of CO.
operation with Congress. Here
we can count noses. For ex.
ample. during the time that
the nominee served on the
Atomic Energy Commission. the
Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy had five chairmen. The
first Of them,' Senator Brier

tee wished to hear him. We
are authorized by Congressman
Durham to say that had he ap-
peared. he would have testified
to q cordial and cooperative
relationship with the nominee
reaching back more than 20
years. In addition, former
Senator John w. Bricker, who
was a member Of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy
from 1913 through 1858. praised
the nominee for his co-opera-
ton with Congress.
PaSt0re Cited
We would also direct atten-
ton to the fact that Senator

Committee on Atomic Energy
since 1858. and chairman Of the
Subcommittee on Agreements
for Cooperation during the
review Of the proposed trans
fer to Great Britain Of informa-
ton on the Nautilus reactor. on

supporting the confirmation of

Of specific instances in which

In giving information to con-

few instances charged rep
resent a minute percentage of
the nominees dealings with the
Congress. In fact, the nominee
showed great diligence in keep
ing the Congress informed.
The testimony'and documen-
tation presented before our
committee, in our judgment,
does not justify an adverse
recommendation on this NOM
