CON GRESSION AL RECORD - APPENDIX It is hard t.o believe tha t they are sincerely interested in the causes they avow. Their very method of operation through violence, division, and destruction so alienates a vast majority of the people as to be counterproductive. Those who foster mass crime do nothing to eliminate the deplorable conditions of poverty and ignorance to which they link their calls t.o violence. That even the link is tll,lse is indicated by the vast number of tne poor and unschooled who are stUI good citizens. Because the violence and mob action and threa ts 1s more serious than would be indicated by the t.otal of dead and injured and the value of property destroyed, 1t 1s impera tive that every responsible citizen make his position clear 1n support of law and order. Failure to do so gtves encouragement to the lawless elements. Respect for the la w is the very h eart of our civilization and freedoms. This respect must be demonstra ted fn more than words and slogans. It must be backed up by action which includes a strong personal commitment to respect and obey the laws, proper support for law enforcement agencies, and full acceptance of a citizen's responsibility t.o cooperate with the police in m aintaining pea ce in the community. rt cannot be stressed t.oo strongly that each individual 1s the first line of defense against lawlessness and criminal a cts. Other segments of the communityschools, churches, organiza tions, and gover nments-have direct obligations in building greater r espect for the law. But 1n the final analysis the individual 1s the m ost important f actor in preserving law and -Or der. The support for law and order must be unequivocal. Selective compliance with the law, whether by individual or community, weaken s the entire fabric of our clv111zation because every man's selection f or compliance will differ. Likewise, the t.otal support for law and order 1s undermined with appeasement · of lawless elements. Appeasement abridges the lawful process for change and gives evidence of society's wlll1ngness t.o deviate from full support of law and order. I t enhances the position of those who would bring-total chaos t.o our civ111zat1on 1n an effort to have their wm preva1l The end result 1s that n o law rurvtves save the law of the jungle-the will of the strongest or largest group prevails. The Queen of Angels Story EXTENSION OF REMARKS o:r HON. GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB OI' CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, June 19, 1967 Mr. LIPSCOMB. Mr. Speaker, one of the outstanding 1nst1tut1ons 1n Los Angeles, Calif., 1s the Queen of Angels Hospital. In the 40 years this hospital has been in existe:ice 1t has provided care t.o many t housa nds of people in -the area. The hospital was founded 1n 1926 by the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart. In co=emoration of the 40th anniversary of tts founding a book has just been published a bout the hospital entitled "At 40: The Queen of Angels Story." T he book contains a most interesting and informaitive account of the hospital-'s founding and growth . It tells an inspiring stor y of years of dedica tion, work, and the hopes and dreams of m any- from the first efforts of the devoted Francisca n Sisters t.o the present-day staff. A dictionary definition of a hospita l is: "An instit ution where the sick or injured are given medica l or surgical care." With regard t.o the Queen of Angels Hospital such a definition is woefully 1nadequaite. lit must be expa nded to cover the love, tenderness, and devoted care provided to the many pa tients t.o whom it has opened 1ts doors during its 40 years. To Dr. Robert L . Bla ckmun, president of the hospital, and his capable and devoted associates, including Mr. Dan M. Gann, of the hospital staff who authored the book, a nd all those whose work has gone into founding and operaitlng Queen of Angels Hospital ov~ the years I want t.o express my sincerest congratula tions and graititude.

Mr. Speaker, it fs time that t h e U.N. face up to the facts in the Mideast situa tion. A realistic approach demands that both parties in this issue come face t.o face in reaching a decision. Intermediaries wlll only delay a solut ion. The Israelis and Arabs must reach an agreement which t hey can shake" on. On Thursday, J une 15, Mr. Chuck Dancey, editor of f;lle P eoria J ournal Star, wrote a fine editorial which 11lustrates th1s point very succinctly.
