FOR THE SENATE: THE JOINT SENATE-HOUSE FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: Everett M. Dirksen, Leader REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP Gerald R. Ford, Thomas H. Kuchel, Whip Leader Bourke B. Hickenlooper, Chr. Leslie C. Arends, Whip of the Policy Committee Melvin R. Laird, Leverett Saltonstall, Chr. Press Release Chr. of the Conference of the Conference John J. Rhodes, Chr. of the Policy Committee Thruston B. Morton, Chr. Republican H. Allen Smith, Senatorial Committee Issued following a. Ranking Member Leadership Meeting Rules Committee Bob Wilson, PRESIDING OFFICER: October 23, 1965 Chr. Republican Congressional Committee The Republican Charles E. Goodell, National Chairman Chr. Committee on Ray C. Bliss Planning and Research 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. A- movie of the 89th Congress would be like an episode of the old-time serial which always ended as the heroine 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 to a, close to look, not at the quantity of the legislative product, but at its quality. The test should be not how much has the Congress dcne, but how well has it done. Always a candid man, the majority leader of the Senate has confessed ser- ious deficiencies in the legislation enacted this year. Senator Mansfield has announced that the second session of the 89th Congress should "spend less time on 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 "exceptional.' 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 considerable attention during the second session of this Congress to correction of the mistakes of the first session.
