Washington, D.C.

Dear Senator Humphrey:

This is just a note to tell you
how very much I enjoyed meeting with you
and how much I wish we had had more of a
chance to chat.

At the end of the meeting you
were kind enough to suggest that you might
send me your notes about the Khrushchev
interview. I would be extremely interested
to see them and you can be sure that I would
treat them confidentially.

With kind regards and all good
wishes.

HUMPHREY CALLS FOR GRAND DESIGN FOR PEACE -
SETS GOALS FOR AMERICA

Senator Hubert Humphrey today proposed that the United States "launch a grand design for peace - a Seven-Year Plan of our own." Making the key note address Saturday morning at the 12th Annual Convention of Americans for Democratic Action meeting at the Shoreham Hotel this weekend, Humphrey urged that "we set the goals which are the price of survival and that we set our selves to meet them."

Humphrey set three goals which we must pursue: the winning of a just and durable peace, which he said "requires cool nerves, but also endless patience and the ability to keep ourselves at the peak of our strength for decades - perhaps for a generation.... There is no future for those who undertake to negotiate with the Soviet Union from a position of weakness." He called for strength, not just in the U.S. but "strength in a community of free nations." He said we should make every opportunity to negotiate agreement with the communist block if an agreement will "enhance the strength and security of the free world and the chances for peace," and that we should move steadily to build the United Nations "as a framework of international relations in which law and order are respected."

The second goal, he said, is to realize the dream of dignity and well-being for every American. "This unfinished business of democracy is an imperative in its own right." Among the items of unfinished business he spoke of were: equality of rights and opportunities for all Americans; the ending of poverty in the richest nation that is or ever was; the erasement of slums and banishment of hunger from our land; the best of education, and medical care for all Americans, and a secure future of small farmers and small businessmen.

The third goal, the Senator said, is to cooperate with free people anywhere in technical and economic progress -- in industry, in agriculture, in health, in education. "In this 'only war we seek' food and science and medicine and education and skills are our megaton weapons of massive rehabilitation." For this "war," Humphrey said, we should plan to set aside $2 billion each year, and as time goes on, maybe even more. He said we must export our capital, because without it the revolution of rising expectations "may be frustrated and violent, instead of peaceful and beneficent," and he said we must use "the blessings of our agricultural abundance in the war against hunger and malnutrition."

(continued)

We must do these things not only because they are required in this war of interests and ideologies, he said, "but we must do them also because this is our mission in this last half of the 20th Century. This is our call to greatness, our call to leadership. If we were to fail in this, we would forfeit our claim to greatness; we would forfeit democracy's appeal to mankind."

The Senator warned this country to make no mistake about the fact that the Soviet Union is growing stronger - and therefore bolder. He said there is abundant evidence "of the solid and substantial performance and plans of the Soviet economy and the Soviet military." He said we have laughed off their five and seven-year plans in the past to our sorrow. "We will laugh this one off to our peril," he said, and he pointed out that for the past seven years Soviet industry has grown at the annual rate of 9.5 percent, which is about four times the rate of growth of our own economy during the same period.

Communism is a more formidable enemy than Fascism ever was, and this time the fate of mankind itself may rest on our being able to win without falling into a shooting war, he told the ADA group.

Humphrey said, "This kind of challenge requires the concentrated efforts of all areas of our national life, dovetailed together in a coherent, well-planned whole."

"I am not arguing for a competition of keeping up with the Soviet Joneses. It may or may not be necessary to match them stride for stride, industry for industry. But," he continued, "I do say that we need to know our goals as clearly as they know theirs. And we need to manage our affairs as effectively for our purposes as they manage their affairs for their purposes. And moreover, we must do it by the means of democracy, and take full advantage of the enormous productive potential of our enterprise economy."

The Senator referred to the proposal he has made that the Executive branch of the Government have an "inclusive National Policy Planning Staff responsible for devising and recommending plans to express our national purposes in terms of the realities of the world situation and our own capabilities."

"It is time," he told the ADA Convention, "we took planning out of the dog house and put it in the White House."

"It is not for want of resources and capacity that we are falling behind in this competition, but because we lack a sense of purpose, a sense of direction, a sense of disciplined action. And this is the massive failure of our national leadership," he said.

"Our national leaders warn us of the evils of international communism," Humphrey continued. "They profess to recognize its dangers. But when it comes to fighting this war, they tell us we can fight it with one arm tied behind our backs. They propose to fight the balance of terror with balanced budgets, with business-as-usual, with politics-as-usual."

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

My thanks to you for your note of April 13.

May I suggest that the next time you are in Washington
that you stop by the office and we will go over my notes
from my visit with Khrushchev. They actually need a
little interpretation to be of much help and I would
be glad to do it.

Once I have had a chance to discuss them with you you
are at liberty to use them. Anyway, I would like to
have you stopby so put it on your calendar for your
next trip.

May I also share with you a copy of a speech I made
recently. I may not be too profound, but at least it
carries a few thoughts that may be worthy of further
consideration.

Best wishes.

Dear Colleague:

You have received under separate cover a reprint of an article in *Foreign Affairs* by Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. If you have not already done so, we believe you will want to read it. As political scientists, we believe it to be a thoughtful discussion of a significant and difficult problem. As Americans, we believe it displays the kind of clear thinking, concern for humane and democratic values, and ability to make hard decisions intelligently and courageously that our nation and the free world so desperately need in their leaders today.

We believe, with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, that of all the leading candidates for the Presidency in 1960, Hubert Humphrey "comes closest to having the spark of greatness the next President will need."

Believing these things, a number of us are forming a volunteer committee of political scientists and other academicians to help nominate and elect Senator Humphrey as the next President of the United States.

We invite you to join us and, if possible, make a contribution to the campaign. Senator Humphrey is at a considerable disadvantage financially compared to other candidates. If you wish to join the committee or to make a contribution, write Austin Ranney, 3 Burnett Circle, Urbana, Illinois. Please give your name, address and telephone number. All contributions will be forwarded to Senator Humphrey. Checks should be made out to "Humphrey for President Committee."

Dr. Henry Kissinger

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Right now the Congress and other members of both parties are considering a bill, drafted by the Administration and introduced in the Senate by me, to establish a United States Disarmament Agency. Enclosed are materials which detail the background, status, contents and purpose of this legislation.

As Chairman of the Senate Disarmament Subcommittee, I am aware of the acute need for one agency with the responsibility for America's disarmament research and planning activities. At a time of increased international tensions, there is all the more need for efficient coordination of disarmament policy-making and effective preparation for disarmament negotiations.

The legislation now before the Congress has wide bi-partisan support. I believe it needs broader public attention. I hope that you, as a leading citizen, will study the enclosed materials to make your own evaluation of this bill to establish a U. S. Disarmament Agency.

I would appreciate any statement or comments you wish to make about this legislation, and would welcome your advice and criticisms of the proposal. If it is possible for you to indicate your support of this legislation, a letter from you would be most helpful to include in the record of the hearings on the bill. Time is short, and I would appreciate an early reply if you wish to offer one.

Best wishes.

Encl:

DRAFT FOR APPROVAL

FACTS ABOUT THE PROPOSED
UNITED STATES DISARMAMENT AGENCY FOR WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY

Legislative
Origin

S. 2180 (Disarmament Act for World Peace and Security), introduced in the Senate on June 29, 1961 by Senator Hubert Humphrey (D., Minn.), and H. R. 7936, introduced in the House on the same date by Representative Thomas E. Morgan (D., Pa.), are identical bills and provide for the establishment of a United States Disarmament Agency for World Peace and Security.

General
Functions

The new agency will be the focal point for all U. S. disarmament efforts within the government. In addition, the agency will participate in the formulation of overall policy in areas related to disarmament, such as basic national security policies, strengthening of the peace-maintaining machinery of international institutions and procedures for the settlement of international disputes and the reduction of tensions among nations.

The agency will be responsible for:

1. the conduct, support, and coordination of research for disarmament policy formulation

2. the preparation for and direction of United States participation in international negotiations in the disarmament field

3. the dissemination and coordination of public

(more)

-2-

information concerning disarmament

4. the preparation and operation of any international control systems that might become part of U. S. disarmament activities.

### Organization

The agency will be headed by a director, who will be assisted by a deputy director and assistant directors (not to exceed four), all of whom will be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. (Their salaries will be, respectively, $22,500; $21,500; and $20,000 per year.) There also will be an Office of Public Affairs and Office of General Counsel and other divisions that the director may want to establish. The President also may appoint a General Advisory Committee, not to exceed fifteen members, to advise the director on disarmament policy and activities.

### Staff

It is expected that the Agency staff will total some 250 people in its first year.

### Cost

It is expected that the Agency's annual budget will be about $6 or $7-million yearly.

### Relation to the President and State Department

The director will serve as principal advisor to the President on disarmament, and will have direct access to him, but will notify the Secretary of State as to the occasion and substance of the advice he offers.

In reporting to the President and the Secretary of State, the director will have primary responsibility within the government for all disarmament matters. He will also participate in National Security Council meetings

(more)

relating to disarmament.

Inter-Agency
Coordination

The director will be responsible for:

1. coordinating disarmament matters among the various government agencies

2. intermeshing disarmament policies and programs with the broad conduct of foreign affairs

3. providing a focal point at the highest level of government for the consideration of disarmament matters. He will maintain close cooperation with other interested agencies, in addition to the State Department, including the Department of Defense, the Atomic Energy Commission, N.A.S.A. and others.

Formulating
Policy

The director will have primary responsibility for preparing for the President, Secretary of State and other government officials, recommendations concerning U. S. disarmament policy.

Conducting
Negotiations

Under the direction of the Secretary of State, the director will be responsible for conducting disarmament negotiations, informal conferences, and informal communications through regular diplomatic missions.

Research

The agency will conduct research into all the essential scientific, economic, political, military, psychological, and technological factors affecting the disarmament effort. It will coordinate studies in this area currently being conducted by other government agencies, will utilize the research facilities of private as well as government agencies, and may construct its own new research

(more)

**Public Information**

The agency will be responsible for informing the public in this country and throughout the world of U. S. disarmament policy. It will work closely with the U. S. Information Agency to assure that its broadcasts and other information programs reflect current U. S. disarmament policy.

**Annual Report**

The director will make an annual report to the President for transmittal to the Congress, not later than January 31 of each year, concerning the agency's activities.

back and hope for peace; it must work for peace. The proposed agency would be a
concrete expression of purpose by the U. S. Government to examine every route con-
ceivable to peace.

# Does it Make Sense to Establish a New Disarmament Agency While International Tensions Such as the Berlin Crisis Provoke an Arms Build-Up?

Obviously, prospects for peace or disarmament are not bright in times of
tensions. The U. S. must be ready for any military emergency, but it must also be
prepared for any break through on the peace front, too. In his May 25 message to
the Congress, the President noted:

> Our arms do not prepare for war. They are efforts to discourage and resist the adventures of others that could end in war. That is why it is consistent with these efforts that we continue to press for properly safeguarded disarmament measures.

# Is the Control of Weapons the Main Objective of a Disarmament Program?

The disarmament program is not only concerned with ways and means of controlling and limiting armaments. There is no such thing as treating disarmament in a vacuum. It is part of an over-all peace program. Disarmament goes hand-in-hand with all the other efforts to achieve international order. Its director would sit in on National Security Council meetings where matters of disarmament and related subjects are being discussed.

# How Does the Proposed Agency Differ from Previous U. S. Disarmament Organizations?

The U. S. Disarmament Agency for World Peace and Security would be the first U. S. agency dealing with disarmament to be given statutory status, that is, made permanent by legislative act of the Congress. It would have its own budget and it would defend its request for appropriations before the Congress. The proposed agency would have its own personnel. Employees of the agency would not be subjected to transfer to jobs outside the agency. The agency would be able to recruit its own specialists, its own scientific and technical personnel to research the technical,

More

political, economic, and legal problems involved in disarmament. Most important,
the proposed agency would have its own special status, not as a division or bureau
or office of some other government agency.

How Does the Proposed Agency Compare to Efforts of Other Governments?

The new agency would be the first comparable agency at this level of govern-
ment in the world. It would put the U. S. in the forefront of the peacemakers.

Dear Fellow Member of the A.P.S.A.:

I believe you will be interested in the enclosed copies of remarks by myself and other Senators regarding the Association's Congressional Fellowship Program and the Congressional Distinguished Service Awards. We can be justly proud of both these activities, which are now important and well-known events for the Congress.

As a member of the Association, I am pleased with the expansion of its activities in recent years. The Public Affairs Reporting Awards Seminars and the Regional Seminars for Political Scientists are particularly commendable. Evron Kirkpatrick merits our appreciation and congratulations for his leadership in these efforts. I now look forward to a highly productive year under the presidency of a personal friend, Charles Hyneman, of Indiana.

I was disappointed that I could not meet with you at the Annual Meeting in St. Louis, as planned. My bill to establish a United States Disarmament Agency was debated (and approved) in the Senate that day, and it was my responsibility to remain here.

My best wishes for a successful academic year.

SPEECH
OF
HON. HUBERT H. HUMPHREY
OF MINNESOTA

AND VARIOUS OTHER SENATORS
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

Thursday, August 10, 1961

Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I rise to acknowledge the conclusion of another highly successful congressional fellowship program and to express the thanks and appreciation of the Senate to the congressional fellows and to the American Political Science Association for again sponsoring this outstanding program in education and public service.

I know most Members of this body are thoroughly familiar with the congressional fellowship program. It began in 1953-54 with a grant from the Edgar B. Stern Family Fund of New Orleans and its purpose was to bring outstanding young political scientists and political journalists to work with us in Congress and thereby develop greater knowledge and insights into the legislative process.

The more accurately and incisively these teachers and writers of American politics understand our labors in Washington, the more effectively they can communicate with their students and readers in future years. Mr. President, if more teachers and reporters of American government possessed this understanding today, I am convinced that this Nation would comprehend more clearly the problems and challenges which confront the free world.

In addition to broadening their understanding of Congress, these highly talented and highly skilled political scientists, journalists, and law school faculty members make substantial contributions as staff members in the various offices and committees. Surely this is an arrangement where everyone benefits.

Since 1953 when the first six congressional fellowships were awarded, the

program has grown impressively in terms of numbers and reputation. This past year eight political scientists, seven journalists, and two law school faculty members participated in the program. The congressional fellowship program was originally financed by the Edgar Stern Family Fund. The financial resources of this outstanding family carried the program through the formative years until its continued survival was assured. In 1957-58 the program was financed jointly by the Stern Family Fund and the Ford Foundation. Beginning in 1958, the program was principally financed by the Ford Foundation, as well as such other foundations as the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times Foundation, the New York Times Foundation, the Shinner Foundation, the Poynter Fund, the Revlon Foundation, the Helen Dwight Reid Foundation, Time, Inc., and Cyrus Eaton. I think we owe these foundations a sincere expression of thanks for providing the financial resources which makes it possible for us to have the services of the fellows for a session of Congress. This is, I might add, the equivalent of having an unpaid staff member in the office.

I can speak for my office by saying that I have had a very outstanding staff member, Mr. John G. Stewart, who has been working closely with me, confining much of his attention to the work of the Appropriations Committee. I have had good fortune indeed with these congressional fellows, and I rise to pay personal tribute to them.

Congressional fellows are selected from several hundred applicants through an intensive series of screenings and personal interviews throughout the United States. Final selections are made by the advisory committee to the congressional fellowship program. This is an outstanding group of public servants, scholars, and political analysts. This past year the Advisory Committee

606582-80890

included Roger Hilsman, Director of Intelligence and Research, State Department, as chairman; Senators Gene McCarthy and John Williams; Representatives John Brademas and John Lindsay; Douglas Cater of the Reporter magazine; Marquis Childs, columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; Richard Scammon, Director of the Census Bureau; Harold Green, noted attorney and professor of law at George Washington University; and Joseph McCaffrey, television commentator for the American Broadcasting Co.

Following their arrival in Washington in November, the fellows participate in a 1-month orientation program which acquaints them with the general political scene in Washington. During this period they also make arrangements for their assignments in the House. During the Easter recess the group moves to Senate offices and committees, and the program concludes on August 15.

In conjunction with the opportunity for practical working experience, the fellows also meet as a group for interviews with a number of Senators, Congressmen, and other Washington political figures. I have met with the group for a number of years and I am always impressed by their grasp of the legislative process on the Hill, by their critical awareness of what is going on up here. Often their questions make a session of "Meet the Press" seem like a picnic by comparison.

I wish to emphasize that these people do not come to Washington to observe Congress in action. You never learn by just observing. They come to work with us and they make valuable contributions to the operation of an office or committee staff. In my office I have turned over entire areas of legislative staff work to congressional fellows. They learn a great deal from their experiences but they also teach us a great deal. Every office on the Hill can always use some fresh perspective, some fresh insights,

606582-80890

and a fresh viewpoint in its day-to-day operations. A congressional fellow is well equipped to provide this valuable change of pace.

I wish to emphasize strongly that the program is rigidly nonpartisan in nature. Congressional fellows work in both Republican and Democratic offices. I understand that the issues we debate so vigorously here on the Senate floor are just as enthusiastically argued among the congressional fellows.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a list of the congressional fellows for 1960-61 be printed in the RECORD at this point, together with a list of their offices. Both Democratic and Republican offices are listed here.

There being no objection, the list was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:

As the present congressional fellows return to their teaching and reporting assignments throughout the nation, they merit our congratulations and appreciation for a job well done.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that various items describing the purpose and operation of the congres-

sional fellowship program be printed in the RECORD.

There being no objection, the memorandums were ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:

## FACTS ABOUT THE CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

### HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES

The congressional fellowship program, sponsored by the American Political Science Association since 1953,

(a) Provides practical experience working with Members of Congress or congressional committees for younger political scientists, journalists, and law school teachers. Such experience, combined with earlier training, is designed to improve the participant's understanding of the organization, procedures and problems of Congress and to provide a broader and deeper knowledge of American politics and the problems confronted by Congressmen.

(b) Aims to provide an experience of both depth and breadth. Depth is achieved by long periods of service in single offices in the House and Senate. Breadth results from an initial 1-month "orientation program," followed by a continuing series of conferences during the year with distinguished Members of Congress, congressional staff, political journalists, political scientists, and others closely associated with the functioning of Congress.

The orientation program, which begins in the middle of November, is intended to provide a limited theoretical framework relative to the structure and functions of Congress; the role of Congress in the American system of government; political behavior in the congressional context; the political decision-making process as it operates within Congress, and between Congress and other institutions within the total structure of American Government; and other related aspects of what some would call the congressional, or legislative process. During the orientation program the group meets morning and afternoon for informal discussions with a wide variety of persons associated with Congress, or with congressional relations in the executive branch.

By the first week in January, all fellows are at work with a Representative or a House committee of their choice, with whom they

606582-80890

7

serve for the 3½ months the group spends on the House side. About the time of the Easter recess the group moves to the Senate, where members of the group work either for Senators or Senate committees. Fellows remain in Senate offices until the conclusion of the program around the middle of August. Services of the fellows are made available free of charge to congressional committees and the Members of Congress for whom they work.

HOW CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWS ARE SELECTED

Congressional fellows are selected in nationwide competition from among political journalists, political scientists, and law school teachers, in the 23 to 35 age range with superior training and experience.

Applications are first screened by a committee of three persons in Washington, consisting of a journalist, a political scientist, and a Government official. Between 35 and 50 applicants are then invited to appear before regional interviewing boards usually consisting of a political scientist, a journalist, and a third member selected from a related field. These boards submit reports on all interviews, which are then reviewed by the original screening committee. The screening committee drafts a recommended list of winners and alternates, which is given final review and approval by the advisory committee for the congressional fellowship program. The advisory committee, in addition to selecting the fellows, is responsible for helping the association determine policy for the program. It consists of two Members of the House and two of the Senate, divided equally between the two parties; three journalists; and two political scientists.

Announcement of winning fellows is made in the early spring, immediately following final selection. Winners are notified immediately, but they do not have to appear in Washington until the beginning of the orientation program in the fall.

TYPES OF SERVICES PERFORMED BY CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWS

Congressional fellows perform a wide variety of services for the Members of Congress or committees for whom they work. One fellow, who worked in the office of the chairman of the subcommittee responsible for the legislation, was given major responsibility for a bill extending the Surplus Agri-

606582—80890

cultural Disposal Act. During his 4 months in the office, he followed the entire path of action of the bill in the Senate. He began by studying and digesting more than 35 documents, speeches, and hearings from previous years. Then he proceeded to sound out Government departments and private agencies, and to construct a list of possible witnesses. From that point to the adjournment of Congress, he was immersed in preparing questions for the hearings, drafting speeches and press releases, talking to Government representatives as well as private parties, inviting various witnesses to testify, preparing opening statements for the hearings, handling all telephone and mail inquiries and keeping in touch with the companion bill as it made its way through the House.

Other illustrations are contained in the following excerpts from reports by fellows on their activities:

"There is no point in listing the many varied duties I have performed for the Congressman. I think it more appropriate for me to state that he and I have enjoyed a close personal relationship; that we have spent a good deal of time together discussing pending legislation which could have a serious effect politically on his career. He values my judgment as a home State newsman who is familiar with the problems and personalities of his constituency. * * * During the past 4 months, I have written his weekly newsletters, his press releases and radio scripts, roughly a dozen extension of remarks for the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, a number of extremely important letters to committee chairmen and heads of Federal agencies, and assisted with a myriad of other public relations chores.

"On legislative matters, one of my jobs is to sift the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD daily for items of special interest to the Congressman. More important is my regular attendance at the open session of the Foreign Affairs Committee and my perusal of the transcripts of the executive sessions—especially those which have recently begun on the foreign-aid bill. Sometimes I sit right behind the Congressman at hearings and feed him suggested questions to put to the witnesses. More often we take time before or after a hearing and discuss the pattern of testimony and the issues it raises, and I then

8

suggest matters which I think he should try to get clarified in the record.

"One of the best meetings was a briefing on the White House Conference on Education, which I followed up with press releases on the Senator's backing for a State conference. The State had taken no action, so I wrote some letters for him to the proper officials, got their plans, released them to the press also, and followed up with another statement. As a result the Senator got a letter telling him they got faster action in less than a week from his State than they could have gotten in 6 months."

### THE SPONSOR

The American Political Science Association, founded in 1903, is the professional organization for political science within the United States. Its series of distinguished presidents has included: A. Lawrence Lowell, Woodrow Wilson, Charles E. Merriam, Charles A. Beard, Edward S. Corwin, Robert E. Cushman, Arthur W. Macmahon, and Ralph J. Bunche, to mention a few. It has performed numerous tasks for the President, for executive departments, congressional committees, Members of Congress, and State teachers of politics, Government administrators, cabinet officials, university presidents, lawyers, and those active in the business world. It is the American affiliate of the International Political Science Association.

### SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

For the first several years of its operation, the congressional fellowship program was financed by the Edgar Stern family fund of New Orleans. In 1957-58, the program was financed by both the Stern family fund and the Ford Foundation. Beginning with 1958, the program was financed by the Ford Foundation, as well as such other foundations as the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times Foundation, the New York Times Foundation, the Shinner Foundation, the Poynter Fund, the Revlon Foundation, and the Helen Dwight Reid Foundation.

### ASIAN FELLOWS

Beginning with the 1958-59 program, the Asia Foundation has sponsored several Asian fellows who are affiliated with the overall congressional fellowship program but who receive special assistance. The applications

and selection of the Asian fellows are handled jointly by the Asia Foundation and the association.

Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from Minnesota yield?

Mr. HUMPHREY. I am glad to yield.

Mr. HOLLAND. I wish to associate myself with the Senator from Minnesota in warmly praising the Congressional Fellow program of the American Political Science Association and those persons and agencies which have made the program possible. One of the fellows under this program, Arthur E. Ryman, Jr., Esq., is now working in my office. We have found his services to be most helpful, and I trust that the experience has been of value to him from an educational and experience standpoint. Mr. Ryman is an outstanding young man who received his master of laws degree from Yale University. He served last year on the faculty of Cumberland Law School at Lebanon, Tenn. Beginning in September, he will join the faculty of Drake University Law School, Des Moines, Iowa.

Mr. Ryman has been particularly helpful in conducting thorough and detailed research of the type which my staff has difficulty in finding time to perform. He has made a thorough study of the Senate rule pertaining to unlimited debate, airline labor problems, the funding of civil service retirement payments, and similar complex subjects.

Mr. Ryman's service in my office should be beneficial to his law students by giving him a firsthand practical view of the making of Federal statute law. I appreciate the opportunity I have had of having his able assistance in the work of my office.

Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, will the Senator from Minnesota yield?

Mr. HUMPHREY. I yield.

Mr. METCALF. The Senator from Minnesota has performed a valuable service in calling to the attention of the

606582-80890

9

Senate and of the country the fine group of young men and women who have served us so well during the past few months. The program is one with which I have been familiar since it was started. I have been fortunate to have three of these young men serve in my office. I have observed a number of the congressional fellows, including a few young women, who have served in the program during the years it has been in existence.

Among the young men who have been associated with me is Mr. Luther Carter, of Norfolk, Va., who has served in my office diligently and as a good right hand. As the Senator from Minnesota has said of the fellows who serve on his own staff, Mr. Carter has been a mighty fine member of my staff.

Before that, I had as an assistant Mr. Boyd Finch, of Ventura, Calif., a newspaper reporter. When Mr. Finch finished his service with me, he returned to his work in Ventura and is now one of the New Frontiersmen, working with Secretary Udall in the development of natural resources. His first interest in natural resources was gained in Montana, where he learned of our interest in the forests, rivers, streams, and mountains of that Western part of our country.

Then I had on my staff Mr. Charles Young, of California, who returned to the University of California. He is now an assistant to the president. Here he learned about the various educational programs. He served well in spreading the same sort of gospel about which the Senator from Minnesota has spoken.

So these young men, I know from personal experience, have been devoted and dedicated in performing their research service. I know the country is better off because of the program instituted by the American Political Science Association. I am glad the Senator from Minnesota has placed in the RECORD the list of the fellows for next year, because I am proud

that two of them will be Montanans, who, as have their predecessors, will delve into the mysteries of congressional procedure which are not taught in colleges and universities. I look forward to working with them.

I thank the Senator from Minnesota for yielding.

Mr. HUMPHREY. The fellows, I feel certain, will be more than grateful for the remarks made by the distinguished Senator from Montana, and the American Political Science Association will be doubly grateful for this testimonial as to the quality, caliber, and effectiveness of the congressional fellows.

Mr. KUCHEL. Mr. President, will the Senator yield?

Mr. HUMPHREY. I yield.

Mr. KUCHEL. The congressional fellows perform an excellent service for the Members of Congress with whom they are associated. I think it may be said that the Members of Congress, in their day-by-day deliberations, in their research, in their quest to find what is in the public interest in the bill which will be pending before them on the morrow, give to those young people in America who are able to participate in the program a unique education in the processes of the Republic, particularly as they receive those processes, parliamentary-wise, with which we deal in the Senate and House of Representatives every day.

The Senator from Minnesota deserves congratulations for indicating the breadth of the program and the fact that it will be a continuing one.

I must say, speaking personally, that the very fine young man, Ronald H. McDonald, who has been associated with me for some time, will, as he leaves my office shortly to return to his homeland—California—take with him the best wishes of the personnel of my office and certainly the best wishes of the Senator from California.

606582—80890

10

In discussions which take place in my office with members of my staff, to determine what policy this one Senator should follow with respect to proposed legislation which, in many instances, is somewhat perplexing, Ron McDonald has participated. I feel certain that that pattern is followed throughout the entire congressional organization.

I speak as a Republican. I wish to see two strong parties in the Nation. I do not want this Nation ever to become a one-party country or to have a one-party government. Neither do I desire to see a multiplicity of splinter parties, from which one of our gallant neighbors across the seas suffered for so long a time.

When the Senator from Minnesota and other Senators representing the great Democratic Party, participate in this program, and when many of us on this side of the aisle participate in the same program, and have the joint opportunity to demonstrate, in some areas of legislation that there are conflicting views, honorably arrived at, then I think there is a keener appreciation of the fact that on the anvil of debate is the truth hammered out, not merely in theory, but usually also in actuality. From that experience these young people, men and women alike, return to their homelands refreshed and invigorated from an experience which I feel certain will permit them to invigorate both political parties in America in the days ahead.

Mr. HUMPHREY. I thank the Senator from California. I wish to associate myself with the views he has expressed in terms of the vitality of the two-party system.

I would be remiss if I did not pay special thanks to Mr. Patrick J. Conklin, of the University of Oklahoma, Tulsa, who worked with me in the office of the majority whip. He studied during the first period of his congressional service in the office of the House majority whip, under Representative ALBERT, of Oklahoma.

He then came to me and asked to have an opportunity to work in the office of the Senate majority whip. I was more than happy to agree, and I found Mr. Conklin to be a remarkable man. He will be all the better as a teacher and a professor. He did some splendid research work, not only upon the activities of the office of the majority whip now, but also in relation to the whole history of the office background and in terms of congressional life. He also gave me great help in the field of foreign policy, particularly as it relates to Latin America. He is a keen student of that area of the world; and I am deeply indebted to him.

I also wish to mention the name of Mr. John G. Stewart, a candidate for a doctor's degree at the University of Chicago. He has worked with me in recent months. Prior to that, he worked with Representative RICHARD BOLLING, of Missouri. He found a very rewarding experience with that splendid, brilliant, outstanding Member of the House of Representatives.

I wish to say publicly to Mr. Stewart that I shall ever be indebted to him for his diligence, for his concentration on the subject matters assigned to him, and for his splendid work generally, and particularly as it related to the activities of the Senate Appropriations Committee. I am a new member of that committee, and I needed help; and I found in Mr. John Stewart a reliable associate.

I am confident that he will return to his work better prepared and enriched in experience and in spirit. Surely he has made a great contribution to my office; and I know my constituents appreciate his kindness and his helpfulness.

Mr. PELL. Mr. President, I, too, would like to associate myself with the remarks of the Senator from Minnesota [Mr. HUMPHREY] in commending and praising the program providing for Government fellows. For their generosity in this respect, I wish to praise particularly the Stern family—and particularly

606582-80890

11

Philip Stern, a good friend of mine, for whom I have great respect and great admiration—who have done so much to bring about this program.

My own office has been helped by the presence of Eugene Lichtenstein, who has helped us immeasurably in the last several months with his research, his knowledge, and, more particularly, his writing ability.

This program seems to me to be a very good one, because it encourages these young men to have an interest in government; and without the program, they might not have such an interest. In fact, in not too many years some of us may have the privilege of being defeated by some of them.

*Friday, August 11, 1961*

Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, I should like to join my friend, the senior Senator from Minnesota, and other colleagues who yesterday paid tribute to the congressional fellowship program sponsored by the American Political Science Association.

During the years that I have been in Washington, I have had many beneficial contacts with the American Political Science Association, and have become aware of the many excellent programs that the association sponsors. One of the most commendable things about these programs is that the association has had the wisdom not to limit them to professional political scientists.

It is my understanding that about half of each year's congressional fellows are lawyers and journalists. The association also sponsors a series of regional conferences each year for reporters on government. An outstanding journalist from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle participated along with reporters from all over the eastern United States in one of these conferences this year at Buck Hill Falls. He has told me that it was a most valuable experience,

606582—80890

and that he returned to Rochester with a broader understanding of government.

The congressional fellowship program not only enlarges the knowledge of the journalists, lawyers, and political scientists who participate in it, it also makes a most definite contribution to the offices in which the fellows are stationed.

The fellowship program pioneered the way for a number of college intern programs which by now have become indispensable aids to many offices in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

This summer I have no congressional fellow in my office, but I have received the valuable assistance of four young students who are sponsored by other college intern programs. I am sure that these interns have learned much during their summer on Capitol Hill, but I feel that I have gained even more from them than they have gained from their experience here. They have made it possible for my office to undertake several legislative projects that otherwise might not have been possible. Their bright suggestions and their untiring scholarship will be greatly missed when they return to their formal studies in a few weeks. These students are: Donald Robinson, Buffalo, N.Y., a senior at Union Theological Seminary; Lydia Vecchi, Canandaigua, N.Y., a senior at Vassar College; Kenneth Campbell, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., a senior at Yale University; and Elizabeth Hutchins, New York City, who this fall will begin her freshman year at Wellesley College.

I therefore join in saluting the congressional fellowship program of the American Political Science Association and all of the other intern programs that have followed in its footsteps.

*Friday, August 11, 1961*

Mr. SYMINGTON. Mr. President, I was absent from the city yesterday when the distinguished assistant majority

12

leader and several other Members of the Senate paid tribute to the congressional fellowship program, sponsored by the American Political Science Association, but should like to add to the remarks made at that time.

The program, which is now in its ninth year, has been a great success, due in large measure to the care with which the fellows are selected and the outstanding job done by the administrators of the program.

I am particularly proud that a young man who served as a congressional fellow in my office 2 years ago, Mark Ferber, has since that time served as director of the program. He has done an outstanding job, and I know I speak the feelings of many here in Washington in expressing regret at his departure, and our best wishes for a successful career in teaching.

I concur wholeheartedly in the comments made yesterday about the effective contribution which these men make to the operation of congressional offices.

The year spent in Washington under the program adds immeasurably to the knowledge and experience of these teachers and reporters of American Government. It enables them to be more effective interpreters of what actually happens here in the Congress.

It is my hope that the work of the congressional fellowship program will continue and that an increasing number of fine young men will be able to acquire detailed knowledge of legislative process while providing valuable assistance to the Members of the Congress.

Thursday, August 17, 1961

Mr. CLARK. Mr. President, several days ago the able senior Senator from Minnesota [Mr. HUMPHREY] spoke in the Senate with respect to the fine work which had been done during this session of Congress by the young men and

606582-80890

women who are serving Senators under the congressional fellowship program. Unfortunately, I was not in the Chamber at the time, but I should like to express my approval of the remarks by the Senator from Minnesota and other Senators concerning the program and to state that my own congressional fellow, Mr. William Ross MacKaye, who has been with me all summer long, has performed first-class service as a staff assistant in my office.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have a brief biography of Mr. MacKaye printed at this point in the RECORD.

There being no objection, the biography was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:

William Ross MacKaye was born in New York City and raised in Washington. He is 27 years old.

He attended the Friends School here in Washington and graduated in 1955 from Harvard with honors in history. As a Rockefeller Bros. theology fellow he studied in 1955-56 at the General Theological Seminary.

In 1956-57 Bill was a layworker at the St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Manhattanville, "a depressed neighborhood" in New York. In 1958 he was No. 2 political writer for the Minneapolis Star.

In 1960 he joined the congressional fellowship program and worked for FRANK THOMPSON in the House until April.

Bill completed a report on the Rules Committee for Rutgers in 1961.

He will begin work for the Bascom Timmons Agency as the Washington correspondent for the Houston Chronicle.

He is married and has two children.

Mr. CLARK. Mr. President, I wish to acknowledge publicly the great assistance these young persons have been doing, and the excellent work they have done in many Senatorial offices. In other years, I have had other assistants under the fellowship program. I commend the foundations which are making this work possible and offer my strong support for it.
