Date .. Issue Vot.e 1964 Jan. 14 To recommit bill extending program of Federal aid for airports to reduce proposed authorization by $15,000,000 per year for 3 years. (Yea 110, nay 201.) ___ _ Yea. Jan. 14 After defeat of recommittal motion, House passed bill providing for 3-year extension with modifications of the program of Federal aid for airport construc­ Yea. tion. (Yea 298, nay 11.) Jan. 21 Library services amendments proposed to confine Federal library services aid to rural and small town areas, while increasing the authorization for such Yea. aid, but eliminating a proposed new program of Federal grants for library construction. (Yea 179, nay 183.) Jan. 21 After failure of efforts to limit t be scope and cost of the library aid program, the bill passed. It increased the authorization for Federal aid for library serv­ Nay. ices from $7,500,000 to $25,000,000 for fiscal 1964 and authorized a new program of matching Federal grants for library construction with $20,000,000 for 1964 and authorizations with unspecified amounts for 1965 and 1966. Starting with fiscal 1965, the programs were extended to urban in addition to rural and small town areas. (Yea 254, nay 107.) Jan. 28 This bill proposed amending the Bacon-Davis Act to include most fringe benefits in making prevailing wage determinations. The Bacon-Davis Act Yea. generally provides that workers on most Federal construction contracts be paid not less than prevailµlg wages for the same area. (Yea 357, nay 50.) Feb. 10 Civil rights. (Yea 290, nay 130.) __ __------Yea. Feb. 20 Authorized $17,000,000,000 for defense research and development and for ship, aircraft, and missile procurement. (Yea 336, nay 0.)------­ Yea. Feb. 25 Vote on the conference report on the $11,500,000,000 tax cut bill which reduced individual income tax and corporate tax rates. Various other changes were Nay. made in the tax laws, benefiting some taxpayers and hurting others. In my opinion, a tax cut without a consistent policy of reduced spending could result in large bud~et deficits and inflation with a further lowering in the purchasing power of the dollar. (Yea 326, nay 83.) Feb. 26 Bill proposed authorizing an additional U.S. contribution of $312,000,000 to the International Development Association which makes 50-year loans interest Yea. free but with a % of 1 percent annual service charge, to underdeveloped nations. A vote for this recommittal motion was a vote against the bill. I objected to the bill on economy grounds, to .the high percentage of American financial participation, to the liberal terms of the loans, and to the pos- sibility that some of the loans might be counter to American interests and policy. (Yea 208, nay 189.) · Feb. 27 House passed this bill amending the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from making certain rules relating Yea. to the length of frequency of radio and TV advertisements. (Yea 317, nay 43.) · Mar. 4 This recommittal motion was designed to limit the fiscal 1965 Peace Corps authorization to the 1964 figure of $95,700,000 instead of the proposed $115,000,000 Yea. After failure of the recommittal motion, the bill passed by a voice vote. (Yea 90, nay 309.) Mar. 5 This so-called interest equalization tax was actually a tax on the purchase of most foreign securities by Americans from foreigners. The object of this bill Nay. was to ease our balance-of-payments deficit by discouraging foreign borrowing from U.S. sources. In my opinion the balance-of-payments defiCit could be easily reduced by cutting foreign aid, without discouraging private American investment abroad. Foreign investments bring us a long-term benefit through their yield of profits. At the same time they help develop private enterprise abroad. ( Yea 238, nay 142.) Mar. 10 This bill establishes a Public Land Law Review Commission of 19 members to conduct a 3-year study of public land laws and regulations. (Yea 339, Yea. nay29.) Mar. 12 Bill proposing a $545,000,000 pay raise affecting approximately 1,700,000 Federal workers. $10,000 increase in the salaries of Congressmen, from $22,500 Nay. to $32,500, was provided for by this bill. (Yea 184, nay 222.) Mar. 24 Vote on an amendment to restore $10,000,000 to Coast Guard funds for vessel, aircraft, and installation construction and improvement. (Yea 160, nay 193.)_ Nay. Mar. 24 Vote to pass a bill appropriating $6,200,000,000 for the Treasury, Post Office, Executive Office of the President, and various independent offices. This Nay. included funds for the electric lights at the White House.

(Yea 283, nay 73.) Apr. 8 Recommittal motion to add provision to the food stamp bill requiring States participating in the program to pay half of the costs. (Yea 195, nay 223.) ___ _ Yea. Apr. 8 This bill expanded and made permanent the food stamp program. On a pilot basis the program cost $44,000,000 in 1964. The bill carried an authorization Nay. of $400,000,000 over a 3-year period. The program may eventually mean food at below wholesale prices to 4,000,000 people at a cost to the Federal Govern­ ment of perhaps $360,000,000 per year. (Yea 229, nay 189.) Apr. 3 Bill establishing special 2-year programs for wheat and cotton. (Yea 211, nay 203.) ------­ Nay. Apr. 10 Recommittal motion to limit expenditures of appropriations to congressional committees and the Architect of the Capitol to those expenditures which are Yea. a matter of public record.
