also over the Fourth ol July weekend 

when there were 28 deaths. Ttrere were 

g)me vefy lnterestlng facts wtllch were 

brought out as a resu.lt of thelr study. 

One ls that not one of the lndlvlduals 

kllled wro we8ilng & seat belt or had his 

sat belt attached. We have a law todBy 

whtch requires seat belis, but there wRs 

not one ol the 69 persons kllled ln those

Now, Mr'. Chalmtan, that wss the only 

fitechanical failure ln ell of the 4J tlut

Mr- ChairmBn. the only thinEr contained

well as the iropetion of f,ut,omobiles, and 

the removel of the llceroe of drivers after

Mr. MACI(AY. Mr. Chalrlnen, I rlse 

to st)eak ln behau of lhe .qtagsers bill, 

H.R, 132S8, end urge lts adoption. I also 

urge lrBssage of its cofttranion measute, 

the Fallon bill, H.R. 13190. I believe we 

oucht to consider why these biu$ are before 

us. They are before us btreuse of 

tIE f{)rce of American public opinion. 

'rhese 

safety bills flre before us becruse 

there has been an Blaming upturn ln 

the fate of deaths thfoughout the Nation-alrout 

li Fenent for the flrst 6 

months of thls :rear. In my own county 

of De l{alb in Georgla, more people have 

been killed this year Elready thEn were 

kllled last year. T'hese bills sre be(ore 

us because publlc opinion belleves thst 

we could be dolng more than we trre dolng 

now lo reduce the number of accldents. 

deBths and injurles. 

They are belore E bmause the Amerlcan 

people now reflllze that the traf0c 

environment ls E natlonal environment, 

It ls not B locsl, E clty, e county, e Stete 

envlroment, or even B reglonal envlronment. 

It ls f, nationBl envlroment- 

Our problem ls $o Erute now that we 

are suffering B nBtional loss whlch heg 

elready been polnted out to be in excess 

ol 50,000 lives this ymr, 125,000 people 

permanently dl38bled, and en econoElc 

los in exces of $9 bUUofl. 

Slnce we are dealing wlth I n8tionEl 

problem, there mut ntressEflly be a nationtrl 

response. The signiflcance ol 

these two biu$ l3 thet they deflne a new 

Federnl role. I em very Froud of the

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN. 

I support this legislation. 

Mr. Chalrmfln, 

All of us have bcen ll$t,ening for the 

pEst several months l,o a sierdy stream

and told, acaln and agaln, thst somehow 

ConHreS$ cen legi$lete safety on Amerlcfl's 

highwEys. 

We trave been told by many peoplesome 

of whom, I suslJect, retrlly do not 

know ns nluch about the subject as they 

would hBve us belicve ihey drthBt the 

cBr manufrcturers have not desiBned 

thelr producls l)roperly and-io com- 

pound this tran$gressloll-the

not been pveperly put toEetlrer ln the 

automoblle plants. 

We hEve been led to belleve ihat 8u

more collEpsibility, more squaru inche$

In a dramstic reducllon in hlsh$ey 

fRtsllties hEv€ not been faclng the facts, 

End 6ome of them sctually hsvc been 

trylng to conceal the facts. Let us look 

&t some of thcsc lacts that we h&ve been 

asked lately to lgnore. 

I am sure oll of w ere only too fRmlllEr 

wlth the fEct thBt drlver error is by all 

odds the real culprlt ln the hlghway 

cleath ptoblem. And poor hishway deslgn 

l.s Rnother lmportflnt fector. The 

vehlcle has its propcr plsce also ln e$seslnc 

thls problenr. AU ol us know 

that there ere the* many sides to the 

problem. so I wlll not labof thcm. I 

would only rernllld you thEt wc have 

been Bsked y6peatndlv ln recellt monlh$ 

to lgnore the

ebout both tlte eccusation8 end the Bly 

lnferences that I have heard hnd read 

about the wotkers end Eranf,gement of 

the autoftobi;e industry. I do not llke 

the lnference tirat the industry and the 

wortsers ere not deeply con$cious of 

E6fety. Ahyone who talls you l,his $lmply 

has not been ln an autohobile pl8.tit 

or is distorting the truth. 

In coDclusion, I would simply suggeet 

to tny colleaBues that when you leave 

the Chamber t0 return to your homes 

toniglrt and you lasten your seatbelts 

Bnd lock your car doors lor by d.oil\g 

this y6s wlll probably be doing $ymbollcally 

as much for aulo safely as Efly plece 

of legislation that csn be wrttten. Certalnly, 

this is a far more constructlve 

and efiectire approsch than all the 

soapbox oratory, the etnotionEl appeal$ 

and the search lor *apegoats End con- 

Eplracies that have pr€yed upon the 

lesltlmate corceln of all Asrerlcans lor 

sefety on ouf hlgh\.l ays. I erh personally 

satisfled that es a result of the debate ln 

and out of Congres, the charges rhade 

ln recent rnonth.s against the dutomobile 

workers and industry have been exposed 

to the Amerlcan people as gro6s over- 

6ljnpllfications. 

Mr. SPRINGER. Mr. Chalrman, I 

yield 3 tninute$ to the sentleman from 

New York IMr'. iIALPERN]. 

Mr. HALPERN. Mr. Chalrman, I 

would llke to exFress By full enil enthuslmtic 

support for th€ proposd Natlonal 

Traffic snd Motor Vehicle S8fety Act. of 

1966. Slnce the days when I was a memb€r 

of the New York Stat€ Eenat+, where 

I served for E years E-s chd.hrnan of the 

Joint Ifgt$letlve Commiitee on Motor 

Vehlcles. I hete edyocat€d a more active 

goverrufi€ntsl role ln enmu'aginEl trBllic 

safety. f have ln the past introduced 

leslsletion similar ln efiect to the trafiic 

E8fety bill. Thts bill, along with the 

hiehv'ay safety b'll wNch we B'1ll consider 

next, represenls the long overdue 

f,nd vltelly necesB&ry Federal resrnh$e to 

a problefrt e,s old s Our entu'y- we 

Ehoulil pas$ lt es weU as lts compehlon 

hlchwey sbfety blll, ln ffi stronEt B form 

as possible- 

Since I900 more then 1.5 mlllion Amerlcans 

trEve died ln traftc trcid€nttssub- 

Etsntlfllly more than the number oI ca6ualties 

ln ell Ameflcsn wars; Certelnly 

this ls an astonishlng, almost lncredlble 

tr&gedy. 

Whet 16 even more importallt, tl)ough, 

ls thet the problem of tramc safety-or 

FerhaFs better put, the problem of the 

lack of trafnc ssfety sderu to be growlng 

more and more serlouB. In the 1960's 

there has btrn e shBrD rlse ln fatalltles 

compared to the reletlvGly Bteble Ferlod 

of ttlc 1950's when the aillual numb€t 

of deaths already ran6ged between the 

horrendou flFures of 35,000 Bnd 39,000. 

Accolding to the Natlons) salety Councll, 

lagt year, In 1965, 49,000 Aherlcaro 

were killed in trafnc sccidcntE. Futher. 

1-8 miulon were disbled and another 

1.8 mlulon suflered minor lnjurie$. The 

eggregate mst of the nccidents was estimateal 

at $8.5 btllton in prcperty alamage, 

wege8 lost, medlcal exp€ns€s, end lnsuance 

pelmenf,s- 

Thffie few brlel Etatl8tlcs 6peak tor

Tamdlar slth their me$$age, Whatever 

eflofls to promotr tra,fic ae.Iety heve so 

fEr been underteken, whether by industry, 

nonproflt org&ni?ation, or State or 

lftal gorerrutent, thesc efforts have unlorLurtstely 

proyed lnadequate. Something 

more must be done, ud the Federal 

Goverment must, mEke sure thet lt 

is done. Oiherr'lse, e.cmrdinE to expert 

analysls, the cu-rrent, average of 1,000

There is, of coul'se, ho Blngle cause of 

tra.frc rccidenls; and so we should not 

lodh for Rnv mf,nistic solution t{} the 

problem whlch foces u.(. Any effettive

a hultifaceted one whldh touches upon

Together, the proposed Highwrry shd 

TtEfEc sBlety Acts of 1966 Frovide Just 

such Ls multlfBcrt€d EpproEch- 

The trsfic $afety bill, H.R. 13228, 

sthlch we are nos coroiderlng, fmu.ses 

primarily on Just one cr)mpolteltt OI the 

trefrc sfety problem-the motor vehlcle 

Itself. T'tris blll authorizes Lhe Secretsr"y

H-R. f3228 is an excellent plece of

for any noncompliance discovered durlnF 

the fuTpections, I bclieve we $hould 

carefully coLsidef amendin8 H-R. 132?8 

to bring it into conformity wlth the senatc

I would also like to recommend one

The Accident Prevention Divlslon oi 

the U.S. Prrbilc Health Servlce has 

fl.nrinced the fllmlns of ddver behavlor 

for over 300 drivers ln Wa$hington' D.C'

fllms show thet 9? percent of the drivers 

conr.rnltted at lest one error during thls 

ttme and 38 percelrt were guilty of at 

leEst ond vlclatlon. 

The average number of error-$ sEs 

9.18. As expected, slleedlng was the most 

frequent error, noted ln 87 percent of 

the cases. Failure to $tey ln one's own 

lane wBS noted in 63 Percent of the 

cBses. 

These tests simFly reemptHslze "vhat 

we elready know. The key tu lnost trsffic 

safety i6 the drlver himself irnd I think 

It would be treglc lf t.llis leglslBtiorr u'ere 

to take the spotllght from the role of the 

driver and place it solely on the road und 

the vehlcle. 

I camot refraln lrom makinE fientlon, 

tm, Mr. chalrfilsn, of the frishtenlng 

rate of accidents directly attributable to 

drunken drivers or those comumirlg 

varylng degrees of alcohollc beverBges' 

I've been trying for $everal Inontls to 

draft a piece of legislf,tion thst would 

get st this p&rticulat problem and have 

run into all kirds of problems. W:hen I 

was over in Sweden thls sprlng' I learned 

that atryone picked up for dmiken drivlng 

ls automatically lhrown in jail for a 

30-day sttnt and therc 8re no exceptions 

to the rule. I! was itrterestlng to note 

whlle altending several soclal functlonE 

where al\rotrol wss ctnsumed that at least 

one drlver of each automoblle at ihe affatr 

totelly Bbstalnecl for that evenlng. 

The law ts $trlctly enforced and lt ls 

psylng cllvidends. 

Ou problem stems from the fact tb,et 

we have a considerably difierent Constitutton 

End to dfsft f, blll th4t does not 

treBd upon sn lndlvldual's constltutloml 

rlghts to do celtaln things is extremely 

difficult, but we hope to come up with t 

sterter lrl the near future. 

rn concluslon, Mr. Chalrman, the per8ntount 

consideration and clntrollltrg 

fsctrr in autonrot)ile safety i6 the driver, 

s,nd it is indeed dimcult to control him 

by Federal edict. 

TIr. STAGGERS. Mr. ChBITrnEN, I 

yield such ti-rne BS he may require to the 

gentleman from Mlchlgen [Mr, 

DTNoELLI. 

Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Chah'man. I want 

to thank my chairmen for his kindness 

in yielding to rne. Thele sre s nmber 

of points I rvdnt til raise with respect to 

the corttents of thls legislstion, parucularly, 

I hope, dealins wlth questions of 

lcad time Nhich is une of vital import$ce 

to the industry which is one oI 

the princirriil ernployer$ in the dl$trict 

that I hilve the honor to represent ln 

Congress. 

As the rnembership of the coftmittee, 

and anyone else familiar with the industry 

knows, lead ttfle is a lno$t important 

lnatter. Modern cBrs are complefi 

mechanisms, mede up oI over 14,000 lnt€rrelated 

pf,rtE. This complexlty and 

the looling and other tequilements for 

hlgh volme rnass production ntre$$itate 

B substsntial perlod between m initiel

lt B one of the factors thEt thc 

blll empowers and requlres the Secretst'y 

to take into accomt ln estdbllsltlng

that he will do so. 

Thus the bill in section 103 requlre8 

that staJrdards must be practicable antl 

thet the Secretary must consider whether 

they are reason8ble, practlcable. and 

sppropriate for the partlculaf type ol

Mr. Chairman, d,s the commlttee report

the mrEideratlon o[ all relevant factors,

pfovideE thet the Sccretaly may set 4

by the conunittee to provide the necessary

Mr. Chairmf,n, lt ls true as lt shou-ld

I!Ir. DINGE"IJIJ. Mr. ChBilmsn, I certeirily

Eerce, the gentleulan from west virginla

The explanst.ion should satisfy any

sirnply may noi be enough toolin8 and

which has been followed s'lth the GSA

As I understand the bill and the chaifnlEn

Mr, BTAGGERS. Yes. f might repeht 

for the gentleman's infom&tlofl 

that it states very pleinly ln the blll that 

if tt il il the public lnterest, snd he so 

firlds, theh he r:lust come up ln \\'riting 

with what these rehsons ffre. 

Mr. MOELLER. Mr. Chelnnan, sill 

the Hentlelnen yield? 

Mr. DINGELL. I yield to the gentlelllan, 

Mr. MOELLER. You stated tha.t there 

might be some dlfietences ln the stiuderds 

set; ls thls correct? 

Suppose, for example, a cet m&nufacturef 

makes a small, $o-called fun cRrtherc 

is one made ill rny dlstrlct. It is a 

little, one-cylinder outfit. Io it seld that 

this man must follo$ the same safety 

standards that the manu.{ecturer$ of the 

large cars such as the General Motort, 

Chn'slcr, and Ford, follow? 

Mr. DINGELL. The Fehtleman Just 

heard thc colloquy between ttre chaiffian 

and nre on the dlfference ln standards. 

Mr. MOELLER. In other words, thefe 

rrould be e distincti0rl? 

Mr. DINGE;L. I must say thet thls 

Btlll is not gotng to authorize the msnufMturEr 

of the one-cylinder car selling 

lor $750 to ma.rket an un$afe autornoblle 

Bw rnore than it ls colns to authorlze 

the menufa4turer of a large, luxury-typ€ 

motor vehicle selling for S5,000 or $6,000, 

to menufmture en unsafe vehicle- But 

bccause of the dlfierence ln welcht end 

b€cause of tlre dlflerence In speed and 

because oI the dlfierent potertlel use for 

that type of vehlcle, I would ffiy that the 

safety $tandards would not necessarily 

b€ as compretren$lve, or 6$ onercuE, for 

Urat type of vehlcle as they Dlght be on 

the larser, heevier welght vehicle. 

But this ls a mBtter of JudFmeut thet 

the Secretary will have to exercise. He 

wiu still b€ requifed by this leFislEtlon to 

merket a vehlcle ttlEt would be safe under 

any teasonable Etmdards or occBsloDs 

of use.

Vol.I

Mr. SPRINGER. Mf. Chalffitn, thls 

hEs to do wlth the Advlsory Co'lncll. We 

leel thst the formEtlon of the Advlmry 

Councll was one of the reEl importflnt 

parts or thl8 leslslatlon, Thls councll 

ls composed of 13 members, oI which one 

is the chRirman. Now, At the beginnin8 

the origil)El legislition hf,d tire provlslon 

as I want it ln lt. MBy I sey thls 

ls a rBiher urlque sltufltlon. The 8entlemBn 

from Floridtr fMr. RocERsl offered 

the flrst flnrendrnent and we 

sdopted it- UDder that alnendment the 

biu then read thf,t lt, the Corlncil. uould 

be appolrrted by the President \4ith the 

advice End cor$€nt of the SenatP- Now, 

wlthln a very lew dBys Blter ihls thE 

Secretery of Comnlerce strenuously ob- 

'by 

Jected to the language the President 

with the edvlce and con$ent of the 

Senate.' 

Now. if I were the Secretary of Commerce, 

f mlstrt wsnt lt that wBy, The 

Advisory Comcil as we set it uP sPpointed 

by the Presidetrt with the a.lvice 

and consent of the $enate ls fl 

pretty lndependent body, because lt recelves 

the finel approv$l of the Senate- 

It wRS our feelinB that a body as importBnt 

as this. which is Boing to make 

up standards lor Urls country ln consultatlon 

with the Secretsry of Conrmerce, 

ought not to be mder the lm' 

mediate dominetloh of tre Secretary. So 

the Secretsry beBan to exert pressure on 

everybody, including me, td $ee lI he 

coulcl get this chaneed back from the 

way that the gentlernan from Florlda, 

[Mr. RocEBS] has put it lnto the blu 

flnslly. ThRt Bmendment csried ln the 

committee 13 to 12. Thirteen for meking 

the change io slve ell ol the rxls'er to the 

Secretary wlth no hearlngs on the ap* 

Folntment of the member$ of the Advlsry 

Courcil- I arn sure lf the SecretarT 

of conrmerce had not lnt€frened, 

thls btll wou.ld have remBined cxEctly 

as lt wm, It ws only becBuse of the 

presure of the Secretary ol Commerce 

thet the change was nlAde. 

Wtry is thls not ln the pubuc Interest? 

I thtnk ttrat ls pretty important to know. 

Under the lan8uage Row ln the bill, the 

Secret8ry of Commefce can aprnlnt 

tho$e 13 Feople thls Bftemmn snd they 

go to 'aork totnorrow morninE snd the 

flrst tlme Bnybody woulal know Ebout 

It Ls when those men were on the Job, or 

you reEd about lt ln the newspaper. 

There ls no lntervenlng tlme fot trnybody 

to make any obJectlon. You would 

not

even know who the cantlidatee

Mr. Ch&lffian, lJ there ls uythJng

"Strret8rtrril

Mr. ChBlrEsn, why rB tt lmport*nt to 

put ttds provlslon h here? In the flrst 

place, everTone ol thes 13 memb€B 

Ehould b€ pubucly exposed by a heErlns

people. 

Mr. Ch8lrrnan, there Ehould be questioro 

put to each ol these e,pDolnt€es Es 

to thelr qua[ncatlons. 

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, you would 

have an opFrrtudty tD exe$lhe those 

people. If they are not quallfl€d, then 

they should not b€ accepted In the public 

interesL-lf thelr record lndicat€s ln the 

past that tttey were not cEpable ol Bctlrrg 

lrr tlre Dubllc intere$t. 

Mr. Chairmen. there is a, s,econd reason 

why we wEnt€d the Councll to be relatively 

ildependent. ftr other sords, Mr. 

Chelrman, they shotrld tre standlng up 

for the public lnterest md they Ehould 

not be under the domlnation 6l ttre 

Secretsry. f know that Memlrers on both 

sides of the alsle were for the Advisory 

Council but said that the Advisory Comcll 

ought to be maktng its recommendEtioh$ 

in q-riting $o that there sould b€ no 

dotlbt i,hat the Council wss ecting iI the 

public interest- 

In other words, Mr. Chdlfinan, we 

have uladc it lmpos$ible for the Secretsry 

to mnsult s'ith two or tJrrer of theffi 

psple and put these stalldards into 

operetion tomorrov and my that they 

had b€en consulted. 

Mr- Chelrman, we made lt Eanalatory 

ttrst the Seretsry had to consult wlth 

the Advisory council, 

Mr. Chairtrtan, this ls t.Ite rea$on why 

thls Councll should b€ lndependcnt. 

The members of the Comlttee msy 

well eay that the Pre$ident end the s€cretary 

6re probablv artlng 1agsuls1. 

Pethaps, they are. PerhE'ps, the Presldent 

ls gotrg to mske the BDpolntments 

th8t the Eecretary wants to have Eude. 

But the lmporLsnt thlnc is that wben 

ttrese temmended appolntment8 get to 

the Senate, you Blll have a rlght to questlon 

these men tndidalually. 

Mr. Chelrman, thls lg a very slmple 

ernend-nent. f heve tried to explaln lt 

ln laruruge whlch evet'yone cm mderstmd. 

I believe lt ls lltlport&nt to seperBte 

tJds Advi.sory Councll trom brtna

$ecretary, and that ls the reEson for the

Mr. STAGGER-S. Mr. Cb8irman, I rL$e 

ln oppositlon to the Ehendment- 

Mr. ChalrfirBn, I Ehall not take the full 

5 minutes, I JNt want to cau upoh the 

author of the mendment, beca.use he ls 

the one vyho sponsored it, the genilemsn 

Iroft Florlda t Mr. RocERsl. 

Mr. ROGER^S of Flor.idr. Mr. Chslrhran, 

f thank the chRit.nttrr) of the Committe 

on Interstate end Commet ce for 

yitldir)s to me at this ttme, 

Mr. ChBlrman, I likewlse rls€ ln opposition 

to the Emendment. 

Actuelly, as hes bt€n expl8lned, *'hen 

I flrst ofiered thls amendment, I rlld have 

the Advisory Safety Councll aFFdlnt€d 

765

y the Presldent snd lts members to be 

conflrmeal by the SenEte. 

Wtthout any pressure, if I mBy say to 

the Eentlehen from Illinols, but simply 

aa a resrl]t Df d|^qttl$slons I had with rep- 

goes through the proeess of recomendation 

by the l,rcslde[t, plus the advlce 

End con$ent of the SenBt€, that trus 

council lnileecl will have nationEl prestlce, 

end we wlll get the best posslble 

resentatives of the Department of Comrlerce, 

I changed my mlnd Bs to the edvlsabillty 

of havln8 the President appolnt 

members on this Councll. 

Bear ln mind thls; Whether you have 

It by the Hethod suggested by the gen- 

the coundil. The Colnmerce Dcpartment tleman frotn llllnols, or whether you 

tried to polnt out to me wtrtt it felt were 

the deflclencie.s in,the amendment as lt 

wlll leave lt es lt ls presently ln the blll. 

you are not dlmlnishine one lota the 

ms flrst ofiered. f Bgreed with the Department 

and offered afl ameltdlnent to 

change the provision from having the 

Euthority or the power of the Secretary 

of Comhetce. 

Ttre gentleman from Florlda knows full 

President appoint thc Councll to having well that the flnal authorlty ls vested 

the Secretery apFint the fnembtrs. 

First of all, the pur!)o$e of this Coun- 

ln the Secretary. 

more meanlngful 

But I belleve it wlU be 

to heve thls Advisory 

cil ls to a.alvlse the Effretrry. It i$ not t,o 

edvise the Preslalent. It is not to advlse 

Cduncll 

Es my 

eppointed by the sEme method 

frlend from Florlda originally 

the cabinet. It ls to edvLse the Secre- susgest€d. 

tary of Commerce, on trying to set, stand- I latl thus far to Bee the aleflclerlcles 

Brals. 

Where do u,e place the responslblllty 

ln thls blU for the setting of standard$? 

We do not place it in the Presidrnt-we 

plece it ln the Secretary of conmerce, 

and lt ls hls full responsibilit]* It ls only 

riEht that he shottld dptloint this Hroup 

to help advise him. Thet ls aU it is. He 

does not havc to fficept their adviceor 

he may accept their Edvice lf he 60 

desires- It is slmnly an advisory mmmlttee 

Ior the SeEretRry. 

Fufthermore, I think re are protected 

under the terms o[ oflice in that we tuve 

that suddenly manlfested theftselves betwen 

the orlglnal pfopcsal and the ltrstmlnut.e 

succestion wtdch Just passed by 

the skin of lts t€eth with a 13-to-12 vote. 

I would urge the commlttee to adopt 

the Emendment, of the gentlemen ffom 

Illinols. It wlll eive us a strongrer blll. 

It Elll not diminlsh the authority of the 

Secretary of Commerce at aU. f believe 

It wlll edd lmtneasurebly to the pre5tigs 

of thi$ Advi6ory Council as they try to 

wrestle wlth thls trefirendously tnportant 

problem c'lttl which we a.re confronteal. 

certaln set terrns, Bnd lndependence 

enouglt for &ny Edvisory comEllttee- we 

glve them stt terru that the rnelnbers 

will serue. We have precedent for thnt. 

That is the same way lt is tlone in the 

Public Health Service, the Surgeon Generel 

Bppoints the fldvisory commlttee to 

edvlse rum. In the Depaltment of Defen* 

we have the 6a.me sort of setup- 

Ttre adr.1sory commlttees there Ere e.Fpointed 

by the Secretery, end not by the 

President. 

I thlnk thet an overall view of the purpose 

of the Safety Advisory Cduxcll 8s 

st out In the propo6ed bill td Edvlse the 

secretary, who tras the full responsibiltty, 

is exactly ffi the commlttee $hould be 

appointEal and set up. 

I would uge very vigorouslr- the defeat 

o{ the amendment ffi profnsed by the 

gentleman from lllinols. 

Mr. WATBON. Mr. Chelman, I move 

to stdke the last word. 

Mr. Chaiman, my friend frorn !'loflda

h&ve fof hlrn, ftnd certainly I for one 

wauld nevet lmpugn his motives. 

But f well recall, Es I am gure tlhe

Mr. WATSON. I anl sure the geniletrran 

knows there was later dlscusslon 

aftrr your oriHinal proposal. 

Mr. ROGER-S of Fldrlde. Yes. 

Mr. WATSON. And then lt was voted 

down on that occaslon. It wes tlenled. 

Mr. ROGEFTS of Florlda. Yes. 

Mr. WATSQN. And lt wBs narrowly

Mf. ROGEFi,S of Florida. A-ll I wanted

thRt I nr$t proposed it, a$ you say, I alld 

have the Presldent aprrolnt them. 

In further considerBtion of that questlon 

I felt it would not be wise. ff we 

would give this council the ri8ht to set 

the stmdards them.selves and thc rcsponsibiltty 

to do that, lJren f would 

egree with the gentle.man thet lt should

Irosever, in a sltuation where we s'lll
