GERS and the Bureau of the
Budget.
When the Senate bill came
back to the House, objection
was made to sending the bill tc
the House-Senate conference
This necessitated a Rules Com.
mittee meeting which it was not
. possible to arrange before last
week.
Peanut Laboratory
The peanuts" issue involv-
ed the Department of Agri-
culture Appropriation bill.
The Senate had adopted an
amendment to establish SIS

oratory in Georgia. The House
had rejected this amendment
and the House-Senate confer
encees had much difficulty
working out any compromise.
The pension" stalemate was
tied with H.R. 10. to allow a
limited tax exemption for con-
tributions made by self-employ-
ed individuals, such as lawyers,
architects, accountants, etc, for
their own pension funds.
Both the House and Senate
passed this legislation overwhel-
mingly but the President had
mot indicated whether he would
sign or veto.
If Congress had adjourned
within 10 days after the bill
| had been passed, the President
could have used pocket Veto,
/ that is he could have killed 1t
simply by not signing it.
Therefore, the sponsors of
H.R. 10 were determined to keep
/ Congress in session until Pres
Iidential action was taken on the
measure. The President did sign
the bill last week.
Tighter Drug Control
Tight control over the manu-
facture and distribution of
drugs in the United States has
been approved by both the
House and Senate, and the bill
IS. 1552) has been sent to the
President for signature. The
legislation is designed to make
it most difficult for dangerous
drug to reach the public.
Among the changes which the
new legislation makes in the
present law are these: drug fac
tories will be inspected more
thoroughly; drug companies
will have to keep additional rec
ords; drug advertisements will
have to list the side effects of
drugs; and drugs will have to
be proved safe and effective by
"substantial evidence" before
they can be marketed.
This excellent bill IS designed
to help prevent occurrences of
the recent tragic Thalidonide
defornity cases.
Berlin Resolution
It has been the cherished
goal of Communist strategy
in Europe to neutralize West
Germany and to dismantle
NATO, while securing the
status quo in Eastern Europe.
Berlin, of course, is the full
crum in this grand design for
conquest on the lnstallment
plan. Quite frankly, the
Vests position in Berlin is
not envia able; but realistically
our position is still better than
anything we could now nego-
tiate at the conference table.
In view Of the Cuban debacle
and the anticipated actions of
Mr., Krushchev in the coming
months, the Foreign Affairs
Committee Of the House believ-
ed it wise and imperative to re-
affirm American policy on Ber-
lin.
So that the kremlin would
have no illusions about our de-
termination to defend freedom,
