NGRESSIONAL RECORD — APPENDIX
e his efforts to strengthen and stabilize
' the government.
3 The basic objectives of Indonesia's
.. domestic policy are to mold the Indo-
nesian people into a great nation, to
o develop the country’s resources, and to
t improve the living conditions by giving
‘e the Indonesian people a greater share
in the benefits of an expanding economy.
Indonesia’s potential for economic de-
velopment is great. There are large
areas of land that have not yet been de-
veloped agriculturally, and the islands
are rich in untapped mineral resources
such as petroleum, tin, and bauxite. An
8-year plan for economic growth was
launched in January 1961 as a blueprint
for Indonesian development.
The United States has had an interest
in Indonesia from the very outset. The
United States played an important role
in helping Indonesia negotiate its free-
dom from Dutch rule, and it has con-
tinued to encourage the development of
a stable and democratic country. The
American foreign aid program has
helped to strengthen the Indonesian
economy and to improve the living con-
ditions of its people. The two countries
have established a long record of co-
d operation and friendship. On the occa-
™ sion of the 18th anniversary of Indo-
© nesian independence, the United States
takes the opportunity to express its de-
~£ sire to maintain close and cordial rela-
tions with Indonesia on a basis of mu-
tual respect.

Call to Political Duty
EXTENSION OF REMARES
OF
HON. FRED SCHWENGEL
OF IOWA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, August 15, 1963
Mr. SCHWENGEL. Mr. Speaker, in
his keynote speech to the workshop
meeting of the Republican Citizens Com-
mittee not long ago Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower called strongly upon “politi-
cal amateurs” to participate in politics.
This call is well worth remembering and
pondering for the vast majority of citi-
zens who find it so much easier to sit
back and do nothing and then complain
because they are not governed as they
would like to be. History plainly indi-
cates that democracies remain strong
only so long as their citizens remain
actively interested in their governments.
Therefore, I call the attention of every
citizen to former President Eisenhower's
remarks in the article from the Saturday
Evening Post of August 10, 1963, which
follows below:
’ A Cat TO Poxirrican Dury
After an illustrious career in public serv-
ice, no one would criticize Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower if he decided to take it easy in
his retirement. But the former President
seems to be going stronger than ever. Re-
cently he has shown a zest for close political
combat unlike anything that he showed dur-
ing his “active” career.
Not long ago a group of distinguished Re-
publicans from all sections of the country
gathered at Hershey, Pa., for a workshop
meeting of the Republican Citizens Com-
mittee. General Eisenhower delivered the
keynote speech.
He let the New Frontier have it. Duty
“requires that we call the roll, clear and
loud on the opposition's record,” he sald,
“the sorry record that stands naked to be-
hold, when the cunningly manipulated ve-
neer of imagery is peeled off. * * *For the
sake of its future, the American electorate
* * * should become fully aware of the po-
litical connivance that is a way of political
life for those who avidly seek power at any
cost—and having won it, reach out for more
and more.”
The main thrust of General Eisenhower's
speech was a call for massive participation
by Republican-oriented citizens in the cam-
paign of 1964. “I hope this town meeting
is the forerunner of many, many more across
the country by different citizens’ groups, all
of which make thelr contribution toward
the growth of Republicanism,” he seid.
“Political ‘amateurs,’” he added, “bring verse,
sparkle and fresh ideas which perk up @&
A5220
political party the way a well-advertised
medicine does tired blood. Many of today's
finest public officials and party organization
leaders were yesterday's ‘political amateurs.’ "
The general speaks from experience. “Ded-
icated nonprofessionals,” he said, “were to
a considerable extent responsible for my deci-
sion in 1952 to enter the political arena.”
We heartily endorse General Eisenhower's
call for massive Republican citizen partici-
pation in the coming campaign. The s0-
called amateurs can give the party some-
. thing that the tired party pros seem unable
to supply—a renewed energy and a hefty
injection of idealism. Perhaps the “ama-
teurs” will even uncover a Republican can-
didate who will give Jack Kennedy a run for
his money in 1964.
Trotters Shoals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
F
HON. W. J. BRYAN DORN
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, August 15, 1963
Mr. DORN. Mr. Speaker, the textile
industry is the leading industry in the
Carolinas and Georgia. This great in-
dustry, the very backbone of our econ-
omy, must never become dependent upon
the Federal Government for its power.
Another Federal Government dam at
Trotter Shoals on the Savannah River
would give the Federal Government a
complete monopoly over that great river.
If the Federal Government controls pow-
er and water, it will control people and
their employment.
The following editorial. is from the
August 3, 1963 issue of Southern Textile
News:
PRIVATE VERSUS SOCIALIZED PowER
With the textile industry's vital interest in
taxes and electrical power, close watch
should be kept on proposals for Uncle Sam
to construct the Trotter Shoals Dam on the
Sayannah River in South Carolina rather
than for private enterprise. This is not of
interest Just to South Carolinians, but has
far-sweeping interests to all taxpayers.
The pseudoliberals, whatever party label
they wear, like to call themselves “The party
with a heart,” or “The party of the peo-
ple.” This infers that conservatives are
heartless and unconcerned with people.. But
close examination of the doctrine and pro-
grams of the lberals often discloses that,
either thelr heart is blind or they are more
interested in power than people. This is il-
lustrated in the Trotter Shoals project.
As a matter of heart, the liberals argue
that all of the natural resources of the Na-
tion “belong to all the people.” This is the
argument: they use to justify Federal con-
struction of hydroelectric dams, notwith-
standing the fact that Federal electricity is
sold at cutrate prices to only a favored few
of the people. Specifically, this is the argu-
ment behind Interior Secretary Udall's de-
mand that Uncle Sam, rather than private
enterprise, construct the $78.7 million Trot-
ter Shoals Dam, a project which would re-
move 22,000 acres of land from State and
local tax rolls.
Would Federal constructlon of this dam
help “all the people?” Here is what is in
store for this area. (and other areas in time)
if the Government does not build the dam:
1. The Mead Corp. will employ 1,400
workers in the construction of a $40 million
plant at the site which will create 650 per-
manent jobs. The plant will purchase $9
million worth of pulpwood a year which will
create another 1,850 jobs. The plant will
pay $3.8 million a year in local, State and
Federal taxes (not counting the taxes which
the new workers will pay.)
2. Duke Power Co, will employ 1,000
workers in the construction of an electric
steamplant at the site which will create 135
permanent jobs. The steamplant (which will
generate 24 times as much electricity as the
Federal dam) will purchase $25 million worth
of coal a year which will create more new
jobs in the mining industry. The investor-
owned steamplant will pay $13 million a year
in local, State, and Federal taxes.
As a matter of “heart,” which would do
more for the most people, the Federal Gov-
ernment or private enterprise?.
Is President Kennedy Afraid To Trust the
American People?
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. BRUCE ALGER
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
' Wednesday, August 14, 1963
Mr. ALGER. Mr. Speaker, why does
President Kennedy refuse to trust the
American people? Why does he enter
into secret negotiations with Khru-
shchev? What has he promised Khru-
shchev? Who is calling the shots, our
President or the Soviet dictator?
It is time the American people know
dust what President Kennedy has in
mind for them and what kind of country
he intends to leave for our children. The
reports of secret agreements reached
with Khrushchev should fill us with fear-
ful foreboding.
It seems to me Congress should de-
mand a full explanation to the ques-
tions raised in the following article from
the Washington World of August 19,
written by Robert S. Allen and Paul
Scott.
Even Averell Harriman, famous for his.
negotiations with the Russians, says our
goals and theirs are absolutely irrecon-
cilable. Therefore, any agreements ac-
ceptable to Khrushchev must be against
the best interest of the United States.
The article follows:
KENNEDY AND KunusHcHEy Mucr CLoser on
AGREEMENT THAN STATEMENTS INDICATE
(By Robert S. Allen and Paul Scott)
President Kennedy and Premier Khru-
shchev are much closer to a step-by-step
agreement on a nonagression pact between
the West and the Soviet block than their
public statements indicate.
In fact, they already have reached an un-
derstanding in their exchange of letters on a
plan for a piecemeal approach to cope with -
the opposition of West Germany and France.
SCHEDULE OF TALKS
Under this Kennedy-Khrushchev strategy,
the following “escalator procedure” will be
pursued in the ‘second round” of negotia-
tions underway in Moscow:
Exchange of military missions between the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the
Warsaw Pact, the Iron Curtain military
alliance.
Resumption of discussions on the security
of West Berlin and its access routes,
