APOSTOLIC DELEGATION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

3339 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20008

December 19, 1974

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I have the honor to transmit to you a
copy of the message of His Holiness, Pope Paul VI,
for the celebration of the Day of Peace, January 1,
1975. The theme of this year's message is "Recon-
ciliation - the Way to Peace."

Accept, Sir, the assurance of my
highest consideration

The Honorable
Dr. Henry A. Kissinger
Secretary of State
The Department of State
2201 C Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20520

To all men of good will.

Here is our Message for the year 1975!

You know it already, nor could it be any different:
Brethren! Let us make Peace!

Our message is very simple, but at the same time it is so serious and so demanding as to seem offensive: does not Peace yet exist? What else and what more can be done for Peace than what has already been done and is still being done? Is the history of mankind not travelling, under its own power, towards worldwide Peace?

Yes, it is; or rather it seems to be. But Peace has to be "made". It has to be continually generated and produced. It results from a balance of forces that is unstable and that can only be maintained by movement in proportion to its speed. The very institutions that in the juridical order and in international society have the task and merit of proclaiming and preserving Peace reach their opportune aim if they are continually active, if they know how to generate Peace, make Peace, at every moment.

This necessity results mainly from the human phenomenon of becoming, from the ceaseless evolutionary process of mankind. Men succeed men, generations succeed generations. Even if no changes took place in

7

the existing juridical and historical situations, there
would still be a need for an effort, continually "in fieri",
to educate mankind to stay faithful to the fundamental
laws of society. These laws must remain, and they will
guide history for an indefinite period, but only on
condition that changeable men, and the young people
taking the place of those passed on, are unceasingly
educated in the discipline of order for the common good
and in the ideal of Peace. From this point of view,
making Peace means educating to Peace. And it is not
a small undertaking, nor an easy one.

But we all know that it is not just men that change
on the stage of history. Things change too. This is to
say, the questions on the balanced solution of which
depends men's peaceful life together in society. No
one can maintain that the organization of civil society
and of the international context is perfect. Many, very
many problems still remain potentially open. The prob-
lems of yesterday remain; the problems of today are
arising; tomorrow others will arise. And they are all
awaiting a solution. This solution, we declare, cannot
and must not ever again spring from selfish and violent
conflicts, still less from murderous wars between men.
As has been said by wise men, learned in the history
of peoples and experts in the economy of nations, and
as we too, defenceless as we are in the midst of the
world's strife, yet strong in the divine Word, have said:
all men are brothers. And at last the whole of civiliza-
tion has admitted this fundamental principle. There-
fore: if men are brothers, but there still exist and
spring up among them causes of conflict, then Peace
must become operative and wise. Peace must be made;

8

Peace must be produced; Peace must be invented. It
must be created through an ever watchful disposition,
with a will ever fresh and untiring. Thus we are all
persuaded of the principle that animates modern so-
ciety: Peace can be neither passive nor oppressive; it
must be inventive, preventive and operative.

We are glad to note that these guiding criteria of
social living in the world are today universally accepted,
at least in the main. And we feel it is our duty to thank,
to praise and to encourage the leaders and the institu-
tions destined today to promote Peace on earth, for
having chosen, as the first article of their activity, this
basic axiom: only Peace generates Peace.

Allow us to repeat in a prophetic way to the farthest
boundaries of the globe the message of the recent Ecu-
menical Council: "It is our clear duty, then, to strain
every muscle as we work for the time when all war
can be completely outlawed by international consent...
Peace must be born of mutual trust between the na-
tions rather than imposed on them through fear of one
another's weapons.... For government officials, who
must simultaneously guarantee the good of all their
own people and promote the universal good, depend
on public opinion and feeling to the greatest possible
extent. It does them no good to work at building peace
so long as feelings of hostility, contempt and distrust,
as well as racial hatred and unbending ideologies,
continue to divide men and place them in opposing
camps.

"Hence arises a surpassing need for renewed educa-
tion of attitudes and for new inspiration in the area of
public opinion. Those who are dedicated to the work

9

of education, particularly of the young, or who mould
public opinion, should regard as their most weighty
task the effort to instruct all in fresh sentiments of
Peace. Indeed, every one of us should have a change
of heart as we regard the entire world and those tasks
which we can perform in unison for the betterment of
our race" (Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, 82).

And it is in this regard that our message centres on
its caracteristic and inspiring point, affirming that Peace
only has value to the extent that it seeks first to be
interior before becoming exterior. Minds must be dis-
armed if we wish effectively to stop the recourse to
arms which strike bodies. It is necessary to give to
Peace, that is to say to all men, the spiritual roots of a
common form of thought and love. Saint Augustine,
designer of a new City, writes that the identity of men's
nature is not sufficient to bring them together among
themselves. They must be taught to speak the same
language, that is to say to understand one another, to
possess a common culture, to share the same sentiments,
otherwise "man will prefer to be with his dog rather
than with a man who is a stranger" (cf. De Civ. Dei,
XIX, VII; PL 41, 634).

This interiorization of Peace is true humanism, true
civilization. Fortunately it has already begun. It is
maturing as the world develops. It finds its persuasive
strength in the universal dimensions of the relations
of every kind which men are establishing among them-
selves. It is a slow and complicated work, but one
which, to a great extent, is happening spontaneously:
the world is progressing towards its unity. Nevertheless
we cannot delude ourselves, and while peaceful concord

10

among men is spreading, through the progressive discovery of the complementarity and interdependence of countries, through commercial exchanges, through the diffusion of an identical vision of man, always however respectful of the original and specific nature of the various civilizations, through the ease of travel and social communications, and so on, we must take note that today new forms of jealous nationalism are being affirmed, enclosed in manifestations of touchy rivalries based on race, language and traditions; there remain sad situations of poverty and hunger. Powerful economic multinational expressions are arising, full of selfish antagonisms. Exclusive and arrogant ideologies are being organized into social systems. Territorial conflicts break out with frightening ease. And above all, there is an increase in the number and the power of murderous weapons for possible catastrophic destruction, such as to stamp terror with the name of Peace. Yes, the world is progressing towards its unity, but even as it does so there increase the terrifying hypotheses which envisage more possible, more easy and more terrible fatal clashes — clashes which are considered, in certain circumstances, inevitable and necessary, and called for, as it were, by justice. Will justice be one day the sister no longer of peace but of wars? (cf. Saint Augustine, *ibid*.).

We are not playing at utopias, either optimistic ones or pessimistic. We want to remain in the realms of reality—a reality which, with its phenomenology of illusory hope and deplorable desperation, warns us once more that there is something not functioning properly in the monumental machine of our civilization. This machine could explode in an indescribable conflagration

11

because of a defect in its construction. We say a defect,
not a lack. The defect, that is, of the spiritual element,
though we admit that this element is already present
and at work in the general process of the peaceful de-
velopment of contemporary history, and worthy of every
favourable recognition and encouragement. Have we
not awarded to UNESCO our prize named after Pope
John XXIII, the author of the Encyclical *Pacem in Terris*?

But we dare to say that more must be done. We have
to make use of and apply the spiritual element in order
to make it capable not only of impeding conflicts among
men and predisposing them to peaceful and civilized
sentiments, but also of producing reconciliation among
those same men, that is of generating Peace. It is not
enough to contain wars, to suspend conflicts, to impose
truces and armistices, to define boundaries and relation-
ships, to create sources of common interest; it is not
enough to paralyze the possibility of radical strife through
the terror of unheard-of destruction and suffering. An
imposed Peace, a utilitarian and provisional Peace is
not enough. Progress must be made towards a Peace
which is loved, free and brotherly, founded, that is, on
a reconciliation of hearts.

We know that it is difficult, more difficult than any
other method. But it is not impossible, it is not a fantasy.
We have faith in a fundamental goodness of individuals
and of peoples: God has made the generations whole-
some (cf. Wis 1:14). The intelligent and persevering
effort for the mutual understanding of men, of social
classes, of cities, of peoples and of civilizations is not
sterile.

We rejoice, especially on the eve of International

12

Women's Year, proclaimed by the United Nations, at the ever wider participation of women in the life of society, to which they bring a specific contribution of great value, thanks to the qualities that God has given them. These qualities, of intuition, creativity, sensibility, a sense of piety and compassion, a profound capacity for understanding and love, enable women to be in a very particular way the creators of reconciliation in families and in society.

It is equally a source of special satisfaction to be able to note that the education of young people to a new universal mentality of human oneness, a mentality which is not sceptical, not vile, not inept, not oblivious of justice, but generous, and loving, has already started and has already made progress. It possesses unforeseeable resources for reconciliation. This can signpost the road of Peace, in truth, in honour, in justice, in love, and thus in the stability and in the new history of mankind.

Reconciliation! Young men and women, strong men and women, responsible men and women, free men and women, good men and women — will you think of it? Could not this magic word find a place in the dictionary of your hopes and of your successes?

This then is our message of good wishes for you: reconciliation is the way to Peace.

13

For you, men and women of the Church!

Brothers in the Episcopate,
priests and men and women religious!

For you, the members of our militant Catholic laity,
and all the faithful!

The message on Reconciliation as the way to Peace demands a complement, even if it is already known and present to you.

This is not only an integral part of our message, but an essential one, as you know. For it reminds us all that the first and indispensable reconciliation to be achieved is reconciliation with God. For us believers there can be no other way to Peace than this. Indeed, in the definition of our salvation, reconciliation with God and our Peace coincide; one is the cause of the other. This is the work of Christ. He has repaired the break which sin produces in our vital relationship with God. We recall, among many, one of the phrases of Saint Paul in this regard: "It is all God's work. It was God who reconciled us to himself through Christ" (2 Cor 5:18).

The Holy Year which we are about to begin wishes to involve us in this first and happy reconciliation: Christ is our Peace; he is the principle of reconciliation

15

in the unity of his Mystical Body (cf. Eph 2: 14-16). Ten
years after the close of the Second Vatican Council we
shall do well to meditate more deeply on the theological
and ecclesiological sense of these basic truths of our
faith and of our Christian life.

Hence a logical and necessary consequence — one
that is also easy if we are truly in Christ: we must perfect
the sense of our unity — unity in the Church, unity of
the Church. Mystical, constitutive communion, the for-
mer (cf. 1 Cor 1: 10; 12: 12-27); ecumenical restoration
of the unity of all Christians, the latter (cf. Conciliar
Decree *Unitatis Redintegratio*). One and the other
demand their own proper reconciliation, which must
bring to the Christian collectivity that Peace which is
the fruit of the Spirit, following upon love and its joy
(cf. Gal 5: 22).

In these spheres too we must “make Peace”! There
will certainly come to your attention the text of our
“Exhortation on Reconciliation within the Church”,
published at this time. We exhort you in the name of
Jesus Christ to meditate on this document and to try to
draw therefrom resolves of reconciliation and of Peace.
Let no one think that he can escape these inevitable
demands of communion with Christ — reconciliation
and Peace — by clinging to long familiar positions which
are in conflict with Christ’s Church. Let us rather aim
at this: that each and every one may make a new and
sincere contribution to the filial, humble and positive
building up of this Church. Shall we not perhaps recall
the last words of the Lord in explanation of his Gospel:
“... may they be so completely one that the world will
realize that it was you who sent me” (Jn 17: 23)? Shall

16

we not have the joy of seeing brethren who are loved and
far away come back once more to the old and happy
harmony?

We shall have to pray that this Holy Year will give
the Catholic Church the inexpressible experience of the
restoration of the unity of some groups of brethren,
already so near to the one fold but still hesitant to cross
its threshold. And we shall pray also for the sincere
followers of other religions, so that there may develop
the friendly dialogue that we have begun with them,
and so that, together, we may collaborate for world
Peace.

And above all we must ask God to give us that humil-
ity and love which will endow the clear and constant
profession of our faith with the attracting power of
reconciliation and the strengthening and joyous charism
of Peace.

And with our greeting and blessing: "... that peace
of God, which is so much greater than we can under-
stand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ
Jesus" (Phil 4:7).

Congressional Record

PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 92<sup>nd</sup> CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION

Vol. 117

WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1971

No. 26

Senate

(Legislative day of Wednesday, February 17, 1971)

The Senate met at 10:30 a.m., on the expiration of the recess, and was called to order by Hon. JAMES B. ALLEN, a Senator from the State of Alabama.

The Chaplain, the Reverend Edward L. R. Elson, D.D., offered the following prayer:

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies.—Psalms 103:1, 2, 4.

We thank Thee, O God, that Thy dwelling place is not in temples made with hands but in the human soul open to Thy presence. But here we thank Thee also for this visible temple of democracy and this forum of freedom. May it be so hallowed by the people that it may never again be tarnished by terrorists nor ascertained by anarchists, but preserved unscathed and undesecrated for generations yet to come.

Deliver us, O Lord, from excessive fear and the hysteria which makes judgment weak and the will impotent. Heal all sickness of soul and assuage the hurt of those who are distraught or discouraged. Make our leaders great and good and strong. Out of difficulties bring a new unity and a firm loyalty to the things that matter most for the welfare of the people, the enhancement of public order, and the dawning of a permanent peace.

We pray in the Redeemer's name. Amen.

## DESIGNATION OF THE ACTING PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will please read a communication to the Senate from the President pro tempore (Mr. ELLENDER).

The assistant legislative clerk read the following letter:

U.S. SENATE,
PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE,
Washington, D.C., March 2, 1971.

To the Senate:

Being temporarily absent from the Senate, I appoint Hon. JAMES B. ALLEN, a Senator from the State of Alabama to perform the duties of the Chair during my absence.

ALLEN J. ELLENDER,
President pro tempore.

Mr. ALLEN thereupon took the chair, as Acting President pro tempore.

## THE JOURNAL

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Journal of the proceedings of Monday, March 1, 1971, be approved.

The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.

## ORDER FOR RECESS FROM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1971, UN-TIL 11 A.M. THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1971

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that, when the Senate completes its business tomorrow, Wednesday, it stand in recess until the hour of 11 o'clock on Thursday morning next; and that, immediately after the prayer, the distinguished Senator from Indiana (Mr. HARTKE) be recognized for not to exceed 1 hour, for the purpose of conducting a colloquy.

## COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING SENATE SESSION

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all committees be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate today.

## FURTHER CONCENTRATION OF POWER, EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, AND THE "KISSINGER SYNDROME"

The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. At this time, in accordance with the previous order, the distinguished senior Senator from Missouri (Mr. SYMINGTON) is recognized for not to exceed 1 hour.

Mr. SYMINGTON. Mr. President, in his state of the Union address this year President Nixon presented a series of proposals which he stated he believed would "reform the entire structure of American government so we can make it

again fully responsive to the needs and the wishes of the American people."

The President cautioned that—

The further away government is from the people, the stronger government becomes and the weaker people become. And a nation with a strong government and a weak people is an empty shell;

And then he said:

Let us give the people of America a chance, a bigger voice in deciding for themselves those questions that so greatly affect their lives.

These statements could well lead the American public to believe that this administration is currently taking steps to return power to the people, and in that way give new meaning to the concept of participatory democracy.

With the possible exception of revenue sharing, however, both the proposals and the actions of this administration would appear to be oriented in the opposite direction — drawing increasing decision-making authority into the White House at the expense of the people and their elected representatives in Congress.

As but one example, President Nixon has now proposed a major reorganization of the existing Cabinet structure through the transformation of seven existing departments into four new super-departments. One of those, Human Resources, would have a budget nearly as large as that of the Department of Defense.

In addition, proposals have been made for a general overhaul of present independent regulatory commissions by combining a number of such agencies; also by replacing the various boards of commissioners with single administrators, the latter appointed by the President.

Some reform of the growing Federal bureaucracy is overdue, but it is important that any such a merging of Executive power at highest levels does not result in the executive branch becoming less responsive to Congress, and therefore to the people. With the importance of such accountability in mind, let us hope that Congress, with an open mind, nevertheless takes a long hard look at these new proposals.

Three additional examples of the present trend toward concentration of authority in the White House are: First,

October 2, 1973

On Thursday Senator Javits will introduce a resolution in Congress supporting Mr. Kissinger's call for a World Food Conference to be held in 1974. The resolution calls on Congress to urge the President to carry out the proposal.

"It is the sense of Congress that a World Food Conference to include representatives from governments, multi-national organizations, academic and research institutions, relief organizations and industry, be organized under the United States' auspices in 1974, to discuss means of increasing food production, improving distribution of food, developing a world policy on food reserves, and providing for world relief efforts in cases of natural disaster. The United States Government should provide maximum support to convene such a conference and to insure its success."

We have been interested in this idea for sometime but Secretary Kissinger called for such a conference in his speech before the United Nations Assembly last week. This goes right along with it and supports it. This is an idea that a number of us in the Senate have had. We wanted to make sure that Kissinger knew about this.

Also inform Congressional Relations, etc. to crank-up interest in the Department of State of our efforts here.

assuming the whole responsibility. It must be reciprocal. Either person in a marriage will break his or her neck for the other, if it is reciprocated; but you can't have this rapport if one person takes full responsibility. No matter how magnificent the partner, he or she is bound to build up a resentment against the one who takes over. There comes a time when everybody wants to lean on another person. But you remove a person's dignity and weaken him by assuming too much.

"Marriage isn't easy. Bobby and I have been fortunate. I personally think that a person must grow inside himself, not worry constantly what her husband or his wife is doing, but worry about what one's self is doing. Bobby and I have done so much growing in our life together, and we've grown inwardly together. Our great plus has been that we've always been able to feel things out. We've always been able to talk, too, but you can talk in one way and feel another."

One time when the Youngs were staying at their summer cottage in Tarzana, Betty called Bob to come to lunch. He didn't come immediately, and Betty called: "Will you please come and have your dinner before it gets cold?" At which seven-year-old Carol voiced her outraged disapproval. "Do you two have to quarrel *all the time*?"

That night Betty said to Bob, "We'd better have a few good arguments, Bobby, or do something, because this girl is getting a false picture; she doesn't know what a quarrel is."

None of the girls ever experienced quarrels in their own married lives; Carol and Barbara just felt unloved.

Growing up in Beverly Hills, they remained apart from its youth syndrome. When the social whirl started, Betty and Bob were on the alert. Carol, at 12, could go to parties, of course, but her father brought her and picked her up. There was a curfew and *no* dates at that age. When the Youngs discovered that other Beverly Hills parents weren't about to enforce such guide lines, they agreed that it would be a very good idea to let the girls go away to high school. In addition, after living such a close family life, this plan would give the girls a sense of independence. They chose the Bishop School of La Jolla. Through weekend visits, Bob and Betty came to know and love that part of California, and eventually bought a home in Rancho Santa Fe.

The tragedies of Hollywood children have become part of the legend of this town. In the marriage-go-round the children are the ones who bear the brunt of the confusion. But the Young children were spared. Bob and Betty raised their girls to believe that making movies was a business, a job just like any other. They didn't realize that Dadly was a Star.

Once, asked what she thought of her father as an actor, little Barbara did not understand. "Oh, I guess he's as good as the rest of them," she responded.

The Youngs entertained; the girls remember the beautiful parties and movie stars. The sisters served hours d'oeuvres and saw all the beautiful people.

But they didn't live the movie star life. Their daddy came home at night and studied his scripts as Mother cued him.

Summers they went to their ranch at Carmel with no servants. (As a matter of fact, their summer house was a trail- er with one room added, and everyone pitched in and did the work.)

Today, Betty Lou, her husband, John Gleason, and little Robert and Holly spend weekends at Rancho Santa Fe, where Bob and Betty do the cooking, wash the dishes, and have the time of their lives. Betty is marvelous with the little ones. Bob teases her: "Honey, you can get up off the floor now, Robert and Holly have gone." He gets down on the floor, too.

He always gave himself to his family, and he feels that marriage is "the most unique and challenging relationship in the world. There is none other comparable. The wisest thing I ever did in my entire life was marrying Betty."

They both wanted children. Bob still remembers Carol's birth as the most joyous experience of his life. That first child, the creation of a real, live, human being! He has loved and enjoyed each one of them. He's a family man first, an actor second.

He always gave his girls love, and the full measure of his own sensitivity, gentleness and strength. But what Bob gave them most of all was an image—a very difficult image for any young man to live up to. Or is it? He was a young man, too; he was simply a young man who fell in love with his childhood sweetheart and was "lucky enough to finally get her." Then they began to build a life together.

"I pity young people who have never known this experience," he says. "I feel sorry for those who simply play at romance. I think they cheat themselves. They think life stretches inexhaustively ahead of them, and when they look back at the end of the long road, they have nothing. It's the difference between building a lovely home brick by brick, and spending your life in a tent. If you've done the latter, then at the end of your life, you simply fold up the tent and that's it."

With Betty he built something very solid and very beautiful, for themselves and for their children. He gave his daughters an image of what life was like, and it's not an easy image to find. He gave them such security that they were bound to run into difficulty trying to match it.

Kathy, his youngest, is a teacher and has never married. Perhaps she has never been willing to take a chance. Carol and Barbara have had a taste of heartbreak. Betty Lou, maybe because she's the most like Betty (vivacious, bouncy and quick with life), has had an easier time. With all of them, their dad is *involved*. He has always wanted to give them everything, but he's learned that the one thing he can't give them is happiness. That's something everyone has to build for himself, brick by brick.
