SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
SAYS
'—
WASHINGTON High School
this time of year often ask me
seniors who visit my office at
(this question: “What does a Sena
tor do when the Senate is not in
session?” I answer them by giving
h brief resume of my daily activi
ties Which should be of interest to
the readers of this column. Recent
ly a typical day When the Senate
was not in session went like this.
The Subcommittee on Investiga
tions was investigating the deb’y ■
in our missiles program. I attended
it briefly. Then I went to preside
at another committee hearing be
ing conducted by the Constitutiona’
Rights Subcommittee of which I
am Chairman. This hearing went
on during the morning and after- (
noon. It provided testimony of able
doctors, lawyers, and citizens who
were interested in aiding the Con
gress to enact a law for the Dis-,
trict of Columbia which will im-|
prove the statutes now in effect
regulating the admission to hospit
als of persons needing psychiatric
assistance and clarifying the provi
sions of other statutes dealing with
the hospitalization of persons ac-l
quitted of crimes on the grounds,
of insanity. At 3:00 p.m. while
this testimony continued, it was
necessary for me to turn over my
duties as Chairman to Senator
Keating and go to a third hearing
tis a Senate conferee on the Feder
td Judgeships Bill. During that con
ference it was agreed that the
bill would provide for three addit
ional North Carolina federal judge
ships. The bil has since been passed
by the Congress. A number of
times during the day, I was called
from the hearings to talk to con
stituents from North Carolina, to
answer long distance telephone
cialls, and to confer with a mem-|
her of my staff about some press
ing matter. At the end of the day
when I returned to my office, there
were approximately 250 letters
upon my desk requiring my per
sonal attention and answer, i’here
had been no roll call votes, no
speeches in the Senate, no legisla
tion enacted, but the Senate had
faoen hard at work carrying on its
functions.
MAN IN SPACE Testimony be
fore the McCellan Committee on
the missile program indicates that
we could have launched the first!
man into space six months ago
if it had not been for inexcusable
work stoppages at Cape Canaveral
'three very adverse effects have
been the result of this delay, First,
we are behind the Russians in an
area of national security. Second,
the stoppages have resulted in the
additional expenditure of million?
of tax dollars. Third, the disclos
ures have caused grave questions
io be raised about the ability of
our nation to defend its freedom.
