The Senate has been
considering the House-passed
Equal Rights Amendment
which seeks to adolish certain
unfair discriminations which
society makes against women.
Although I firmly believe that
unfair discriminations against
women ought to be abolished In
every case where they are
created by law, I have

INSTANT REPLAYS
One of the most popular
devices used on television
sports programs these days
is the "instant replay." It
enables spectators at home
to watch that U. S. Open
golfer's swing repeateci in
slow motion, so It can be
analyzed by a professional.
The same technique is
employed for other sports,
from the World Series to
pro football games. We not
only get to see the "big
play" over again, but we
watch the athlete's foot
work and championship ac
tion at a speed that enables
us to see things we would
normally miss.
If you have a camera
with adjustable speed set
tings, so that you can slow
down from 18 frames per
second to 24, 32 or even
64, you can use your cam
era to the same effect, to
"analyze" your golf swing,
your halfback son's passing
technique, and so on, just
as the TV specialists do.
Even if your camera lacks
slow motion settings, you
can get the same effects
with a motion picture pro
jector that permits slow mo
tion ... as well as back
ing up for those "instant
replays"!
Action cries out for a
movie camera . . . and we
have the line of cameras
and projectors you want,
priced to get "action." Still
or movie, let us put you in
the picture nowl

strenuously opposed the
submission of this Amendment
to the States for several
reasons. First, in my judgment,
this Amendment is not needed
to achieve women’s rights. I say
this because the Constitution
already protects the rights of
women under provisions of the
5th and 14th Amendments.
I have pointed out to the
Senate that women are not
enjoying the full benefit of their
ri^ts, it is due to a defect in the
enforcement of Federal and
State laws, and Executive
orders of the Federal
Government, rather than a lack
of fair laws and regulations.
Moreover, where unfair or
discriminatory laws still exist,
these can be repealed by the
respective legislatures or
challenged in the Courts under
these Amendments so as to
make our laws more equitable.
In essence, then, the proper
remedy for such grievances is
to secure the enforcement of
existing laws and the enactment
of new statutes where needed.
Second, if this were all that
were involved, there would be
little reason to object to the
submission to the States of the
House-passed Constitutional
Amendment to merely
supplement a worthy purpose.
Unfortunately, there is far more
at stake than this. The House-
passed Amendment is
imprecise in its language and
obscure in its meaning when
one seeks to interpret it as a
part of the body of law of this
nation.
Professor Paul A. Freund of
the Harvard Law School, one of
America’s greatest legal
scholars, recently made these
indisputable observations about
this Amendment;
“If anything about this
proposed amendment is clear, it
is that it would transform every
provision of law concerning
women into a constitutional
issue to be ultimately resolved
by the Supreme Court of the
United States The range
of such potential litigation is too
great to be readily foreseen, but
it would certainly embrace such
diverse legal provisions as
those relating to a widow’s
allowance, the obligation of
family support and grounds for
divorce, the age of majority,
and the right of annulment of
marriages, and the maximum
hours of labor for women in
protected industries.’’
For this reason, I have
offered several amendments to
this House-passed Amendment
to ciarify its language and to
prohibit the nullification of laws
which are reasonably designed
to promote the health, safety,
privacy, education, and
economic welfare of women, or
which are reasonably designed
to enable women to perform
their duties as homemakers or
mothers.
This House-passed
Amendment has been oversold
by its advocates and until

most if it is adopted. Thus, I
have sought with all the energy
at my command to educate the
Senate as to the dangers and
pitfalls of legislating by slogan
rather than by analysis of the
proposed Amendment.
