THE ROLE OF THE SECURITIES
INDUSTRY IN THE NATIONAL ECONOMY
Today, one out of every eight Americans owns shares of mutual
funds or common stocks in American industry. Directly, and indirectly,
one hundred million Americans benefit from stock investments by way of
pension plans or insurance policies. This broad base of individual ownership
of American industry is the foundation of our free economy.
The fantastic growth of our securities industry and the dramatic increase
in public participation has over-burdened our Nation's stock exchanges, and raised
questions about the impact of institutional investing on the market and on our
economy, and the effectiveness of existing law in providing full and adequate
protection for the investor.
These are sophisticated, complex questions. The reaction of this
administration to these new challenges, however, has been simply to trot out
the same tired old "cure-alls" of the Democratic party, that is more heavy-
handed bureaucratic regulatory schemes.
What is needed - and it will be a first priority of my administration - -
is an independent, comprehensive, economic study of the role of financial
institutions in our economy, the relationship of financial institutions to our nation's
growth, the requirements for investor protection and the inter-relationship of all
financial institutions. Such a study is imperative before steps are taken which
might seriously impair the nation;s ability to continue to raise the capital
needed for its future economic growth.
During the past Congress, a joint resolution was adopted authorizing
-2-
a Securities and Exchange Commission study which would involve some of these
issues. Even before the study could be initiated, however, the Justice Department
and the SEC advanced proposals designed to alter the basic character of the
securities market, involving drastic changes in the stock exchange rate
structure and altering the economic relationships of brokerage firms,
institutional investors and individual investors. Tragically, those who would
suffer most are the small broker dealers, the small independent businessmen.
The Administration has further sought wide sweeping new regulatory powers
over the mutual fund industry, which powers would be tantamount to "rate
fixing" in a highly competitive industry. Agencies of the administration have
sought, sometimes with, but more often without legislative authority, to
establish bureaucratic domination over the competitive relationship and
everyday activities of banks, savings institutions, insurance companies and
institutional investors.
The actions of this Administration have been characterized by a
legalistic and bureaucratic approach rather than one sensitive to the needs of
our free economic system. Another priority of my administration, and an
important plank in the Republican platform, is a thorough and long overdue
study of the Executive Department by an independent commission patterned
after the Hoover Commission. One of the major items on the agenda of that
commission must be a determination of the proper role which those agencies
now regulating our economic institutions are to play in insuring our nation's
economic stability and growth.
The free and healthy operation of the market is of utmost importance
to the investor; to the nation, the orderly growth of the industry and its ability
-to attract new investment provides the flow of capital essential to our
-3-
Nation's economic well-being and expansion.
Our securities laws were designed to protect the investor by insisting
upon full and complete disclosure. This has been the order of the day since
the Securities Act of the 30's were written. I believe in the full enforcement
of the securities law to assure absolute protection for the investor; abuses of
laws should be vigorously prosecuted. I believe furthermore that the Federal
Government should be continually sensitive to the needs for improvement in
these laws to assure investor protection. The philosophy of this Administration,
however, has been that disclosure alone is not enough and that the government
can make decisions for the investor better than he can make them for himself.
This philosophy I reject.
By its actions, my administration will evidence its faith in the American
investor and in the strength and viability of American financial institutions SO
essential to the success of our free economy.

RE: UPI RN PRESS CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON OF SECUVITIES REMARKS
Q) MR. NIXON, THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE SPA AND CONJECTURE IN
THE FINANCIAL SECTION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES YESTERDAY CONCERNING
YOUR LETTER INVOLVING THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION. MAY
I ASK, DID YOU PERSONALLY AUTHOR THAT LETTER?
A) THE LETTER REFERRED TO WAS ONE THAT WAS PREPARED BY WHAT IS
CALLED MY KEY ISSUES COMMITTEE, A VERY BROADLYBCSWED
COMMITTEE, INCIDENTALLY, THE GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA WAS ON
IT, GOVERNOR SHAFER. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE WAS PRESENT AT THE
TIME THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS DEVELOPED.
THE KEY ISSUES COMMITTEE TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION SCORES OF
ISSUES--NOT ONLY GIVES ME RECOMMENDATIONS ON THESE, WHAT WE CALL
THE BIG PROBLEMS, VIETNAM AND CRIME, LAW AND ORDER AND ALL THAT
KIND OF THING, BUT ALSO TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE MANY SCORES OF
REQUESTS THAT A CANDIDATE GETS TO COMMENT ON SPECIFIC ISSUES, THIS
WAS ONE OF THEM.
AND AS FAR AS THIS PARTICULAR LETTER WAS CONCERNED, IT
REPRESENTS MY GENERAL PHILOSOPHY. I TAKE A DIM VIEW OF TOO MUCH
FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN THE FREE MARKET, WHETHER IT'S IN THE MARKET
IN WALL STREET OR IN THE MARKET IN OTHER AREAS. WHERE THERE ARE
ABUSES I WILL SEE THAT THE LAW IS EFFECTIVELY ENFORCED.
I M
RECOGANIZE THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL EVEN IN THE WALL STREET
AREA. ONE THING I SHOULD MAKE CLEAR IS THIS. I NOTED WITH INTREST
THAT THE LETTER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SECRET. NOW,
I--
MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DUMB. BUT IF IT IS SECRET, I WOULDN'T HAVE
SENT IT OT 3,000 PEOPLE, AND, AS A MATTER OF FACT, MY INSTRUC-
TIONS TO MY STAFF FOR 20 YEARS HAVE BEEN THAT ASSUME THT ANY
LETTER COULD BE MADE PUBLIC.
AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I IMAGINE THAT SCORES OF
LETTERS HAVE GONE OUT ON MANY ISSURS, AND ANY
THAT IS INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT WHAT THEY CAN. I SHOULD ALSO
POINT OUT THIS, THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE I HAVE HAD HALF A
DOZEN PRESS CONFERENCES IN THE LAST FIVE WEEKS, AND
APPARENTLY THE PUBLIC INTREST IN THE ITEM WAS NOT TOO GREAT BECAUSE
NOBODY ASKED ME ABOUT IT.
END.
IN THE FIRST LINE OF THE QUESTION, WHAT IS SPAOG?
SPACE LAST PARA. W SECOND LINE, ANYRWU TED???
BUT I ASSURE THEY WILL NOW. SORRY. WOR ONE.
OK THAT WAS OUR NEXT QUESTION.
SECOND LINE IN LAST PAR. IS
LETTERS HAVE GONE OUT ON MAY ISSURES, AND ANY REPORTED THAT IS
INTERESTED ETC. OK END?

(POLL)
WASHINGTON--RICHARD M. NIXON HAS CAPTURED A SUBSTANTIAL BLOC
OF BIG BUSINESS SUPPORT FROM HUBERT H. HUMPHREY IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS
A UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL SURVEY INDICATED TUESDAY.
MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COUNCIL WHO RESPONDED TO THE POLL
OVERWHELMINGLY FAVORED THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, AND
ONLY ONE SAID HE BELIEVED HUMPHREY, THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, WOULD
WIN THE NOV. 5 ELECTION.
THE COUNCIL INCLUDES 120 OF THE NATION'S LEADING
INDUSTRIALISTS, BANKERS AND COMPANY EXECUTIVES AND MEETS TWICE A
YEAR WITH HIGH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON POLICY MATTERS. WHEN THE
COUNCIL LAST MET IN MAY, BEFORE THE NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTIONS, AN
INFORMAL SAMPLING OF OPINION AMONG ABOUT 30 OF THE EXECUTIVES SHOWED
THEY EXPECTED A HUMPHREY-NIXON RACE AND BOTH MEN WERE PREFERRED
ABOUT EVENLY.
OF THE 66 COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO RESPONDED LATE LAST WEEK TO A UPI
QUESTIONNAIRE, SEVEN SAID THEY STILL PREFERRED HUMPHREY, BUT 58
SAID THEY SUPPORTED NIXON. ONE WAS UNDECIDED.
HUMPHREY'S APPARENTLY HEAVY LOSS OF SUPPORT IN THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY MAY HELP EXPLAIN HIS ADMITTED DIFFICULTY IN RAISING MONEY
TO FINANCE HIS CAMPAIGN. HE SAID IN ERIE, PA., MONDAY THAT "WE
HAVE HAD SERIOUS FINANCIAL TROUBLES" AND HAD TO BORROW FUNDS FOR
HIS HALF-HOUR SPEECH ON VIETNAM LAST WEEK ON A TELEVISION NETWORK.
DURING THE MAY MEETING OF THE BUSINESS COUNCIL, HENRY FORD II
AND SIDNEY J. WEINBERG, A NEW YORK FINANCIER, ACTIVELY RECRUITED
FUNDS AND SUPPORT AMONG THEIR COLLEAGUES IN HUMPHREY'S BEHALF.
WHEN THE COUNCIL MEETS AGAIN AT HOT SPRINGS, VA. OCT. 17, THE VICE
PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS ARE LIKELY TO FIND MUCH OF THEIR EARLIER
ENCOURAGEMENT HAS EVAPORATED.
THE UPI POLL SHOWED THAT "LAW AND ORDER" AND VIOLENCE IN THE
CITIES WERE DOMINANT ISSUES AMONG THE BUSINESS EXECUTIVES IN CHOOSING
THEIR PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES.
ON THE LEADING CAMPAIGN ISSUES, NIXON WAS REGARDED AS OFFERING
THE BEST SOLUTIONS BY THE FOLLOWING MARGINS:
THE VIETNAM WAR--NIXON 53, HUMPHREY 8; CITY RIOTS--57 TO 6;
ORGANIZED CRIME--60 TO 2; FOREIGN POLICY-53 TO 9; REVITALIZING
THE CITIES--45 TO 17; ENDING INFLATION-60 TO 2.
THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE GEORGE C. WALLACE GOT TWO VOTES AS HAVING
THE BEST SOLUTIONS FOR CURBING CRIME, BUT HE WAS NOT PREFERRED BY
ANYONE FOR PRESIDENT. ONE BUSINESSMAN SAID HE COULD NOT CHOOSE
BETWEEN HUMPHREY AND NIXON ON VIETNAM OR FOREIGN POLICY. OTHERS
WERE UNDECIDED.
THE POLL INDICATED STRONG BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR GREATER CUTEACKS
IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING TO CURB INFLATION AND NEARLY EQUAL SUPPORT
FOR RESTRAINT IN FORTHCOMING WAGE AND PRICE DECISIONS.
THE BUSINESSMEN ALSO INDICATED ACCEPTANCE OF AN EXTENSION OF THE
RECENTLY ENACTED 10 PER CENT INCOME SURTAX BEYOND ITS SCHEDULED
EXPIRATION NEXT JUNE 30 IF NECESSARY TO KEEP REIN ON INFLATIONARY
PRESSURES.
ONLY EIGHT EXECUTIVES ADVOCATED CONTINUING THE TAX TO FINANCE
DOMESTIC PROGRAMS. FIVE SAID THE TAX SHOULD BE SCRAPPED AS PLANNED
JUNE 30.

FOR RELEASE:
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1968
Presidential Room, Congressional Hotel
In ceremonies today, 189 U.S. Representatives and 23 U.S. Senators
received "Watchdog of the Treasury" awards from John C. Mason, of Lincoln,
Nebraska, President of National Associated Businessmen, Inc.
This year's group of Congressmen is the largest to receive the award
in its six year history. In 1964, 165 Representatives were recognized
and in 1966, 158 received the awards.
The trophy, a golden bulldog on a walnut base, is awarded to those
who achieve a voting record of 75 per cent or more, based on the National
Associated Businessmen's Economy Voting Record. Six issues were selected
from the first session of the 90th Congress in 1967 and six from the second
session in 1968.
The votes tabulated for the 1968 Economy Voting Record, published today,
include roll calls on amendments and recommitals of authorization and appropriation
bills, the temporary debt ceiling, the urgent supplemental appropriation,
and the removal of the gold cover.
Of the 23 Senators receiving the award this year, four are Democrats
and 19 are Republicans. Of the 189 Representatives who were recognized,
30 are Democrats and 159 are Republicans.
Five Senators and 89 House Members received 100 per cent ratings. On
the other end of the scale, 11 Senators and 113 Representatives scored zero
in the Economy Voting Record.
Made up primarily of small business firms, NAB is a non-partisan organization
with headquarters in Washington. Its goals include fiscal responsibility
in government and the elimination of the Federal Government from competition
with private business.

J. Indiana's 8th District

(Reprinted in the Congressional Record)
The 90th Congress and its record is about to take its place in history. Probably only the passage of time and events will
determine the quality of this Congress, the impact of its action, and its contribution to the American society. Probably only
time will determine whether the 90th Congress was the shaper of events or whether it, conversely, was shaped by these events.
As all Congresses are, the 90th moved with an ear to the electorate and the ever-present approaching election campaign. That
campaign has already emerged as one with great surprise and great tragedy. It is an indisputable fact that much of the activity of
Congress, especially that centered around the issue of gun control, stemmed from the assassination of two major political leaders,
Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy. This issue of gun control produced more mail in most Congressional offices than
can be recalled by all except a few very old hats on the Hill. But beyond this extraordinary issue, created by extraordinary events, we
might best characterize this Congress as a "braking" Congress. Its make-up of new faces of a more conservative orientation finally an-
nounced to the Administration that the honeymoon was over.
In 1964 the President had been elected by landslide
proportions. The magnitude of his victory gave him a Congress
heavily liberal and amenable to the various Great Society
programs that he proposed. The President was denied very
little in this two-year period and historians will compare it
with the famous "100 days" of the first term of Franklin
Roosevelt. Government spending programs multiplied, and
along with the rapid escalation of a major land war in Asia,
produced serious inflationary trends in the American economy.
The cost-of-living index skyrocketed. Taxes at every level
of government increased. Great Society programs to attack
the many problems of our nation began to falter, often
proved unworkable in spite of great cash outlays, and became
bogged down in bureaucratic mismanagement.
America watched in frustration and dismay as our
military effort in Vietnam seemed to proceed through quick-
sand. The cost of this war, both in terms of human life and
in dollars, mounted at an alarming rate. Voter reaction in the
November '66 elections was predictable. A great many of the
