eon making up a tax
measure which may go before the
House for its action before Labor
Day. If the House does act affir
mative! yon the tax bill by Septem
ber l, the Senate Finance Commit
tee will begin its hearing* to con
sider auab legislation. Any tax leg
islation on the Senate Floor still ap
peaes to be several months away.
Debate on the national debt ceil
ing may be postponed until fall
when a clearer Congressional pic
ture will have emerged on both ap
propriations and proposed reven
??mm\
ueg. Last week the House Ways and
Weans Committee voted to extend
the present temporary $309 billion
national debt ceiling to November
30,
The seriousness of the "balance of
payments" deficit for our country
is outlined in the President's sggc
ial message to Congress of July W
The term ' balance of payments"
reflects our U. S. international
banking (foliar balance of trade re
ceipts and expenditures. Over the
years since World War II the tr*d?
balance for the United States has
turned from rosy to gray. This un
healthy "balance of payments" con
dition brought the Presidential mes
sage to Congress. I am gratified
that the President proposed a num
ber of needful remedies to curb our
dollar outflow. However, it seems to
me that one significant rempdy (*ir
ght to be used to a much greater en
tent than the message offered. I
refer t<> our foreign aid payments
which represent a continuing drain
on our dollar resources.
Last week the House Foreign Af
fairs Committee marked up ten
tatively the 1964 foreign aid author
ization bill at (4.1 billion. The bill
is still under consideration by the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. Since our foreign aid commit
ments have over a period pf years
contributed in large measure to our
"balance of payments" deficits, it
would seem appropriate that any
realistic remedy for the situation
should begin with one of its major
causes. We aught to address our
selves toward an honest answer to
the question of whether the U. S.
Treasury and our Federal monetary
system can continue to carry too
heavy a burden with respect to our
foreign aid expenditures.
Witnesses, who are admitted to
be experts in the field of economics,
come time after time before Con
gressional committees dealing with
the financial troubles of the Federal
government and express the opin
ion that our Federal Treasury is at
tempting to carry too heavy a bur
den for its tax revenues. Year after
year I have stated that In my hon
est Judgment we are unwi?a4o tai- '
peril the monetary syaUrr of our
nation with burdens in the forajflg.
aid fJaMHhat are beyond the lim
itations which the dollar can bear.
4 do not believe that:the,#rqblain
whigh is now admittedly serious-can I
be,.solved without drastic cats in i
irveign aid. Qoagrass and the no- ,
tion ought to ttoognize the problem '
which has boot) gpetyed i?it by the
Administration. The dollar is imper
iled by % pouring dwgsr from con
tinuing trade deficits. The facts
ought to be recognized for what
they are, and the nation ought to
o? longer ignore -the. need tor real-,
istic cuts in i our foreign aid pro
gram.
WASHINGTON -The Senate has
passed. thp military sendees pay
raise bill, the Health, Education,
and Welfare Department's $5+bil
lion appropriation bill, and the
Criminal Justice Oct for 1963, which >
permits compensated counsel for
indigent defendants in the Federal
courts. On August 8 the Senate re
ceived the nuclear test ban treaty. I
Hearings begin this week before

Being one of its co-authors. I was
must gratified by the unanimous

dants must have" acces to adequate

must find the spare time to defend
to those with means. The bill con-l
tains alternatives which allow the
