  • Congressional Affairs
    HARRY LeROY JONES, Departmental Editor Departmental Comment Congressional Affairs Activities of the First Session of the 92nd Congress Relating to Inter- nationalLaw and Foreign Relations Issues of foreign policy arising in a context of disagreement as to the relative rights and responsibilities of the Executive and Legislative branches dominated the first session of the 92nd Congress. President Nixon's domestic "New American Revolution" announced in January 1971 was all but forgotten, as the debate on the Vietnamese war went on and on. A reorganization of foreign aid and an extension of the draft also loomed prominently. According to, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's report, made December 21 by its Sub-Committee on Security Agreements and Com- mitments Abroad, the United States has assumed "creeping com- mitments" that threaten to trap the nation in global responsibilities. The sub-committee chairman, Senator Stuart Symington (D.Mo.) stated: "The basic thrust of the report is the people's right to know what are the facts." The report summarized two years of investigation and 2,500 pages of hearings on the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Greece, Turkey, Ethiopia, Morocco, Libya, NATO, and Spain. "Spain is a good example," the Subcommittee asserted, "of a commitment which has not only crept but which has also, in the process, generated new justifications as old ones became obsolete." Accusing the Executive Branch of using security classification "to pre- vent legitimate inquiry" by proper committees of the Senate, the report recommends that Congress undertake, on regular schedule, inquiries on foreign policy, including the political aspects of military activities: "Con- gress should take a realistic look at the authority of the President to station troops abroad and establish bases in foreign countries." Specific prior authority of the Congress should be required in both cases.

  • The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960
    The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960 By Monroe Sweetland 0 PresidentJohn E Kennedy on a visit to Astoria, Oregon, in September 1963 This content downloaded from 71.34.78.7 on Mon, 25 May 2020 18:39:50 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms The Friday in Oregon that Made Kennedy President In 1964, Monroe Sweetland, Oregon journalist and legislator and one of thefirst Kennedy organizers in Oregon, wrote this piece about the significance of the 1960 Oregon Primary. Friday, May 20, 1960, was a judgment day which could bring impetus or disaster to the Kennedy-for-President campaign - the Democratic Primary in Oregon. The bandwagon had been rolling well. Each of the six contested primaries - six potential roadblocks - had been cleared. From the beginning in New Hampshire through the rugged battles with Senator Hubert Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, the Democratic voters had thawed and then warmed to John E Kennedy. Just as the Oregon Trail had been bordered long ago with the bleached bones of those who tried but didn't quite make it, Kennedy's campaign craftsmen knew that defeat in Oregon could be decisive. The growing image of Kennedy as "a winner" could be extinguished by a rebuff in Oregon as convention-time neared. Oregon was the last of the seven contested primaries. It was the only primary testing opinion in the Far West - that terra incognita, to the Bostonians, which lay beyond the Farm Belt. To the Kennedy forces Oregon did not look good, but it couldn't be avoided.

  • Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960
    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

I believe it would be useful if you would review the report. It reflects the kinds of concerns that exist across a range of individuals in the Senate. Second, it reflects, to some extent, the concerns and questions we are finding in the country on these matters. Finally, particularly the questions of Senator Jackson, reflect a concern about the operation of the NSC. You will note I made responses along the lines we have discussed. I think it is going to take the best efforts of all of us to see that it works in practice.
