Helms Cannot Support Wamke Confirmation
WASHINGTON - In
stating his opposition to the
confirmation of Paul
Wamke as arms control
negotiator, Senator Jesse
Helms made the following
remarks to the Senate
today.
"Mr. President, I csinnot
support confirmation of
Mr. Paul Wamke to be this
nation’s strategic arms
limitation negotiator.
We live In a time when
there Is serious doubt In
the minds of the American
people as to the security
position of the United
States vls-a-vls the Soviet
Union. A recent Opinion
Research Corp. poll shows
that 65 percent of the
public feels that the United
States should be militarily
superior to the Soviet
Union. Americans are con
cerned that we are not
superior.
In this climate of
opinion, and In light of an
Increasing body of In
formation to the effect that
the Soviet Union Is moving
rapidly and unhesitatingly

toward meaningful
superiority In strategic
nuclear weapons, the
United States cannot af
ford to have as Its arms
limitation negotiator a
man whose record clearly
discloses an unfortunate
Inability to see these
trends and espond to them
In an appropriate manner.
My opposition to Mr.
Wamke's confirmation Is
in no way personal. I
simply do not feel that Mr.
Wamke wUl be the tough
bargainer that the United
States needs at this point In
our nation’s history.
Mr. Wamke often has
been Juxtaposed with hls
former colleague Paul
Nltze. Indeed, Mr. Nltze
has come forward to op
pose Mr. Wamke’s con
firmation as strategic
arms limitation negotia
tor. In the past, Mr. Nltze
has shared many of Mr.
Wamke’s views, as a
number of Mr. Wamke’s
supporters have been
quick to point out.
Mr. Nltze’s views have
changed. Over a period of 6
years as a SALT
negotiator, Mr. Nltze faced
hls Soviet counterparts on
numerous occasions. He
learned firsthand about
Soviet negotiating st^e,
and techniques. He had 6
years of on-the-Job
training. He began that
training at a time when the
United States was In a
position of strategic
superiority.
Tills Is not the case
today. With the trends
moving toward Soviet
strategic superiority, the
United States can 111 afford

to give our strategic arms
negotiator a similar period
of on-the-Job training so
that he, too, can face the
reality of conducting
negotiations with the
Soviets, and then change
his views accordingly.
Nor sun I certain that
Mr. Wamke can change
hls long-held views — not
only about weapon
systems per se, but cUso
about the real interests
Involved Inarms limitation
negotiations with the
Soviets.
Mr. Wamke’s supporters
have argued that the
President should have
whomever he wsmts to
staff the Executive Bnuich
tuid that the Sensde should
approve the President’s
nominees, unless some
question of an ethical
nature Is raised. There are
those who accept this view
without question. I do not.
The Constitution of the
United States Is un
mistakably clear about a
Senator’s duty to advise
and consent.
The security of the
United States Is the issue
here. Because of this, I
found myself unable to
support the confirmation
of a number of Presiden
tial nominees, not only
those submitted by Mr.
Carter, but also of hls
predecessors. National
security Is too critical to be
entangled with partisan
politics.
Many Americans, In
cluding myself, would like
to see a n^iimal debate on
the future of our national
security posture. Un-
fortunately, the
nomination of Mr. Wamke
has not generated a
peroper debate because It
Is difficult to know exactly
what Mr. Wamke resdly
believes.
There Is little doubt, Mr.
Wamke’s protestations to
the contrary not
withstanding, that In hls
appearances before the
Armed Services and
Foreign Relations Com
mittees he has drastically
changed many of hls
previously stated
poeltiims. This Is obvious to
anyone applying minimal
standards of rational
consistency. This all might
be taken at face value
except that Mr. Wamke
strsmgely insists that ms
views have not in fact
changed, that only cir
cumstances have changed,
and that hls present
opinions only reflect the
present facts.
This denial of the ob
vious raises one of several
Interesting possibilities:
(1) He la quite correct In
stating hls views have not
changed, and that we
therefore ought not to take
at face value hls sudden
concern for national
security and a strong
defense posture; or (2) Hls
views have changed to fit
the pragmatic con
siderations of the moment,
which is discomforting
Itself; or (8) Mr. Wamke’s
conversion la genuine, but
REPORT FROM
U.S. senator
jnsi -k-k
WASHINGTON—During the past few weeks, I have
talked by telephone on numerous occasions with a fine,
Christian lady whose face and voice are familiar to most
Americans. Her name is Anita Bryant. She has stood beside
Billy Graham during his televised crusades. No doubt you have
seen her also as she appeared on television commercials ad
vertising Florida orange juice.
She is a lovely person, deeply committed to Christianity.
She is also a concerned American—concerned about the
erosion of moral principles In her country. She has spoken out
against pornography and indecency in all of the forms spreading
across America. She has warned that unless America returns
to basic principles, our freedoms are in jeopardy.
Not so long ago, she spoke out against America’s growing
tendency to give respectability to homosexuality. And that's
when her troubles began.
LEGISLATION—In particular, she condemned legis
lation introduced in the U. S. House of Representatives on
January 4 by (^ngressman Edward I. Koch (pronounced
’’Kosh"), a member of the New York delegation in Congress.
Mr. Koch was nominated by both the Democratic Party and
the Liberal Party of New York. The bill that he introduced
bears the number H.R. 2998.
The title of Mr. Koch's bill states that its purpose
is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of affectional or
sexual preference...."
Specifically, the bill would amend the so-called Civil
Rights Act of 1964 in several ways. Among other things,
employers would be required by federal law to seek out and
hire homosexuals on a quota basis This would include schools,
hospitals and other institutions. Failure to comply with the
requirement (to hire homosexuals) would result in the loss of
federal aid. .

he feels compelled to deny
that such has taken place
because such an admission
would disturb hU pacifist
constluency; or (4) Mr.
Wamke still adheres to hls
old views, but, setting
aside, hls personlal views,
he Is stating hls client’s
(Hie President’s) case; or
(6) Then again, by not ex
pressly disavowing hls old
views, he may be stating
hls cllent’scase; or (6) Mr.
Wamke Is not really sure
what he believes, but
rather scurries about from
Issue to Issue on an ad hoc
basis; or (7) Only Mr.
Wamke knows what he
really believes, and he has
deliberately obfuscated
the record so that no one
will know for sure what
policy we are endorsing
should the Senate confirm
hls nomination.
When all these In
terpretations of Mr.
Wamke’s positions are
coupled with the fact that
Mr. Wamke la obviously
an articulate and In
telligent man, we have, in
my view, grave cause for
concern about this
nominee’s generael
veracity, and whether we
can ever expect clear and
unambiguous statements
from him concerning the
progress of the SALT
negotiations.
Mr. Wamke’s iqipolnt-
ment — or more ac
curately, the possible
policy approach reflected
In Mr. Wamke’s ap
pointment — Is of the
gravest concern for the
future of this nation. In
deed all of Western cl
vlllzatlon. I believe the
Senate and the American
people are entitled to know
precisely where Mr.
Wamke and the Carter
administration stand on
arms negotiations. While I
might respect Mr. War-
nke’s agility In skipping up
around, over, and under
the Issues, I cannot and
will not vote for a nominee
who refuses to be for
thright In hls presentation
about such Important
matters.

TROUBLE-n—When'Anitif Bryant.xkred'-to..speak-out
against this bill she found herself in deep trouble. In Miami,
her home city, the homosexuals (who call themselves ’’gays’’)
organized, and began a pressure campaign to intimidate
the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which was to have been
the sponsor of a television series featuring Anita Bryant.
Anita's contract for the television series was abruptly
cancelled. An official of the Singer Company made clear
that, all of a sudden, Anita Bryant was "controversial."
Controversial? Here was a fine and decent lady, a dedi
cated C2iristian, who had dared to speak out. And because
she did, her contract was cancelled. Small wonder that business
people in America today are so rapidly losing the respect
of the citizens of this country. If this is an example of the
courage of those who are the greatest beneficiaries of the
free enterprise system, it is a clear indication that if and
when the free enterprise system dies, it will be suicide, not
murder.
PROUD—I am proud of Anita Bryant. In my several
conversations with her in recent weeks, I have pledged my
full support to her.
I don't know whether the Koch bill will be approved by
the House of Representatives. But this much I do know: If
and when it gets to the U. S. Senate, I will fight it with every
means at my command, with every bit of strength I can muster.
Maybe you'd like to drop Miss Anita Bryant a note of
encouragement. If so, send it to me, and I'll make certain she
receives it. She is fighting for decency and morality in America
—and that makes her, in my book, an All-American lady.
