Mr, President. I am pet dispating the right of the simemshrd Senator from Connecticut to sufim:t & reeciutlon at any ume he desires 10 do sc; that is his privileze. But I do sey, 45 the Tanking mamority membet of the commuttee, that y think it most unfortunate that he should do so at thrs time, because the fall committee stil must study the re- port of the subcormmitie: and i nust either approve or disapprove it. It wil then make hs recommendations to the g Benate and to the people of the eountrr. Until that is done, ht seems to me that any gueh actrom @s has been taken ts elearty mot in the interasts of good go¥= ernment, and is clearly Tot in the in- terests of fair and clean efections, but #3 done for an entirely different reason, Mr. BENTON. Mr, President, FH the Benator Fieki for & question? - KFRR I yield for a question. Mr BENTON Ind the min : jead= er notice that i pointedty did not refer to the Senator from Maryland [Mr. Burirr} in my comments and in my resolution? He Was featured at great Jength im the Teport which w2s made parblic last Priday. My resolution, im tis last and concludme parasrepn, only refers to the acts of the Senator from Wisconsin {BEr. BicCaRTHY] since ne took office. I shouhd ike to ask the gnimority leader whether he noticed That careful distinction, aod tsi fT accepted the recomonendations of the subcom~ mittee applmne the SeTaior from MMarviand? wir. KERR. Mr. president. I shall be glad to yield 40 the Senator fram Webras= ku to enable him to answer that qués- won. if he weeld bks me to do sc, pron wided PT dome thereoy lose th foor.
