Much of the basic legislative program which Congress will consider has been introduced. The major issues and programs have been spelled out in a series of Presidential messages. These have chronicled proposals for medical care, social security benefits, Appalachia, education, immigration, water quality con trol, foreign aid, agriculture, de fense, and gold cover stabiliza tion. But among the more than 7, 000 legislative bills which mem bers have put in the hopper are proposals dealing with scores of other important cate gories. As Chairman of the Con stitutional Rights Subcommittee, 1 have introduced a series of measures dealing with basic rights. Specifically, the meas ures deal with the rights of mil itary personnel, Indians, the mentally ill, and those involved in Federal bail procedures. These proposals grew out of extensive investigations conduct ed by the Senate Sub-commit tee. In an era when it is cus tomary to think of “civil rights” in terms of race relations, the Subcommittee has broadened the scope of concern to include basic rights of all Americans. Complaints registered with the Congress have demonstrated the need. Despite progress in recent years in modernizing military justice procedures, continued improvement must be made in this field. Complaints received by the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights and the results of an extensive 4-year study, have revealed numerous inadequacies in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, admin istrative discharge proceedings, and other important phases of military justice. The eighteen part military bill is designed to reasonably insure basic rights of members and former members of the Armed Forces and of persons accom panying the Armed Forces over seas. In the field of mental illness, another effort is being made to strengthen procedures designed to facilitate the treatment of pa tients in the District of Colum bia. The battles fought in the laws governing mental illness are seldom easy tasks. Mental institutions provide no Alumni Associations to fight legislative battles.

The comprehensive work done in this area of rights has already sharpened the Nation’s cons cience. On February 2, I introduced legislative proposals to deal with some long-standing needs to protect the rights of Indian citizens. These would correct in equities in Indian tribal court procedures, Indian criminal jus tice, and contractual rights of Indian citizens. Indians have a tribal guard ianship imposed upon reserva tion property, and long-delayed approval of contracts affecting this property have resulted in severe hardships on these citi zens. Subcommittee hearings have demonstrated much need for a revision of Federal laws in this “rights area.” I have also Introduced meas Letter to the Editor February 19, 1965 Dear Editor: Odds and ends from the mis cellaneous file — mostly odds to an end. Gus Hall chief spokes man for the Communist Party, USA, January 24, 1965, discuss ed President Johnson’s “Great Society:” - “We Communists support ev ery measure of the Great Socie ty concept that benefits the peo ple. We are for every measure in the struggle against poverty. We support every measure that puts an end to the system of discrimination against our fel low Negro Americans. We sup port every measure toward so cial security, including Med icare. “But we are critical because we are convinced the measures are not nearly far-reaching ures designed to correct inequit ies which have grown out of Federal pre-trial confinement and bail procedures.

This group is an offshoot of the Public Af fairs Institute which maintains the pose of being anti-Commu nist but has among its sponsor individuals who have heen cited for sponsorship of Communist front organizations.
