PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR:
THE PRESIDENT: Senator de Lugo.

Mr.. DE- LUGO: Mr.. President, rise under Privi.
leges OF the Floor to bring to the attention Of all Of the.
members Of this body, and particularly to your attention,
Mr.. President, an event that is not only shocking out for
which believe that you will find no parallel in any other
legislative body under the American Flag,
An event, Sir, which | believe you-as President of
the Virgin Islands Legislature-cannot-and DO not.
condone.
Mr.. President, I believe that it is the right Of any
Senator h r e to call to task another Senator,
or, for that matter, it is also the right Of any citi-
zen to get on the radio, or use any means Of communica-
ton, to speak out freely against anyone of us here, or for
that matter, against anyone in our Government. This right
Of Freedom Of Speech is basic and American. It is always
defended.
However, Mr.. President, / can find no parallel for an
employee Of the Legislature to take to the Radio, and the
Press, to condemn and Willy member Of the Legislature,
and certainly, MI. President, fellow Senators, there can be
no tolerating an employee of the Virgin Islands Legisla-
ture getting on the radio and calling a Virgin Islands Sena-
tor a Liar"
Mr. President I wish to quote here, for the record,
from a speech made over Radio Station VISTA land re-
broadcast over Radio Station WIN by the Special Assis-,
tant to the judiciary Committee OF the Legislature--Mr.
Valdemar Hill. I quote: Instead of telling you what bills
they had been able to adopt, although in the minority, he
that is Senator de Lugol chose to tell you as Senator
Hodge would say-and here he is quoting you7-quote: a
brazen lie, unquote. But Mr.. Hill goes on to say; but as
the old saying goes in these islands, what can you expect
from a Bag of Coal but the dust.
Mr.. President, this political parasite-who has been
feenployed because of Special interest for another dole OF
$1,000 of the taxpayers money-Went on IN hissbrazen
TRADE to attack also all of the other Democratic Senator's
of this Legislative Body; and, not content with that, he
also went on to attack the Governor of the Virgin Islands.
Now, Mr.. President, if Mr.. Hill felt it encumbent upon
himself to level his attack against any member Of this lie
gislature, then he should have done what any decent per-
son would know that he had to do under the circunn-
stances And, that is first resign asSan employee of this Lee
gislature; then, Mr.. Hill would have been free to say any
thing that he felt like saying If he had followed this
course, the gentleman even might gain a certain amount
of admiration.
But, as an employee Of the Legislature, Mr.. Pre-
Esident, just who does this guy thinks that he is? What
makes him think that he can attack any Senator, and
where does he get the c~onsummate nerve and the gall to
presenting one Of the largest constituencies in the Virgin
Islands Liar. Not only that Mr.. President but this

WIDER SCOPE FOR INFORMATION oFFIcE

SCOPE o INFORMATION OFFICE
THE5VIRCIN ISLAND Information Office in Rockefels
Ter Plaza is in a moststrategic position to perform an in val
liable service. Ordinarily, the mere fact that it is an informa-
ton office would say, almost by definition, that the prime
concern is to tell about the Virgin Islands. This is a large or
der and if the scope Of its duties are properly envisioned, the
Y. ]. Information Office could become the true headquarters
around which everything pertaining to these Islands revolve.
WE ARE IN A great struggle for recognition, political.
social, and economic. Without this everything else may suffer
because it is the awareness on the part of both sides which
brings any problem in proper, sharp focus. If we are to inn
prove our economy, then we must do two things: "a have a
clean, clear-cut program; and ~ sufficiently impress Con
gress and the American public Of the urgency of such a pro-
gram. This done, our case will then receive the type Of pri-
onty out Of which great progress may come.
Fl information Office in New York has as
its chief concern the disseminating of information for tourists.
Perhaps it has as a secondary concern the business informa-
ton which businessmen would want. Be all that as it may,
a further, more significant dimension must be added. It may
well be that this Office will have to enlarge its scope, and
take on a fuller and more effective role.
THERE R IN New York and other cities many, many
thousands Of Virgin Islanders, Of first and second generation.
We do our buying, banking, selling to the the United States.
Every month thousands come to these shores by ship and
plane, and there is the closest connection between the two
places. a central clearing house, not only for information, but
everything else, should be created. This would save time and
energy, and perform a service the like Of which has never
been seen before.
THE SCOPE OF this highly important Office ought to be
spelled out 50 that the public may know A point Of view
from the pubics eye, might be spelled out in these columns
