STATEMENT BY SENATOR DIRKSEN:
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The White House acted wisely in suppressing the motion picture which it had
prepared glorifying the 89th Congress. For this session of the Congress would win
no Oscar, even in the best supporting role category. From this Congress, we have
had an echo, not a choice.
daus
A movie of the 89th Congress would be like an episode of the old-time
serial which always ended as the heroi ne was pushed off a cliff or was about to
be
ground up by an oncoming locomotive. Not until you see the thrilling episode that
will be presented in this theater next year will you know whether 14 (b) of Taft-
Hartley is ground to bits under the 'Administration's locomotive or whether the
Reapportionment Amendment survives its fall frcm the cliff.
We would caution those who judge the work of the session which just wheezed
03
to a close to look, not at the quantity of the legislative product, but at its
quality. The test should be not now much has the Congress done, but how well has
it done.
atos
To
Always a, candid men, the majority leader of the Senate has confessed ser-
ious deficiencies in the gislation enacted this year. Senator Mansfield has
announced that the second session of the 89th Congress should "spend less time on
atris
new legislation and more time correcting oversights in legislation we have
just
passed." He has said the Congress "must tighten up the hasty enactments
and
must rectify "a number of gaps and any number of rough edges, overextensions and
overlaps.'
It is highly significant that Senator Mansfield, in reviewing the work of
this session before the Democratic Conference, could find no adjective to describe
it other than the ambiguous word
mbess
evode
to As a believer in complete candor, I endorse the majority leader's appraisal
of the work of this session. I assure him that he will find on the Republican side
willing allies in the effort to devote considerableattention during the second
session of this Congress to correction of the mistakes of the first session.
