<br />Mr. GURNEY. I shall be very happy
<br />to have the Senator add my name.
<br />Mr. WHERRY. I will add 1t now;
<br />and If any other Senator WUlbes to add
<br />his name, be Will have an opportunity
<br />to do 60, because I am sendIng tbe

<br />I ll.1.s0 ask unanlmous consent t.hat the

<br />table.
<br />The !:'RESWENT pro tempore. The

<br />Mr. ROBERTSON. Mr. President,
<br />will the 5enator y::Ield?
<br />Mr. WHERRY. I )'leld.
<br />Mr. ROBERTSON. Is my name on
<br />the amendment?
<br />Mr. WHERRY. I' am not !lure; but
<br />I shall be very glad to have Senator.!! 80
<br />to the desk and place their nlLIl1e.5 on 1t.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. Mr. President, In the
<br />Jnterest 01 orderly procedure I do not
<br />beUeve that the United States Senate
<br />ought to be converted Into a Billy SUn-
<br />day saWdlLSt trail. In order that an
<br />amendment may be .sent to the desk. wlth
<br />an invitation lor moume1"3 to come to
<br />the mourner'.!! bench and S1in on the dot-
<br />ted Une. In the first place, I have always
<br />doubted the propriety of multJpllclty of
<br />authorship on bllls or amendments. NJ-
<br />sumlng that the' amendment win be
<br />voted upon, and tbat there w111 be a yea";
<br />and-nay vote, every Benator, whether he
<br />he for It or agllJnllt It, will have an op_
<br />portunJty to gO on record wUh respect.
<br />to his attitude on the amendment. I
<br />most respectfully 5ugiest that It is not
<br />In tbe Jnterest of orderly procedure or
<br />Propriety to submit an amendment and
<br />let 1t 11e on the table, with an lnvitatIon
<br />to Senators to aJgn the amendment so
<br />that tJuo.y may 11'0 on record as coau-
<br />thors. It Is jWlt as etrecUve all an
<br />amendment If only I Sen'ator ofters It
<br />as 1t 111 Il '0 Senat.ors oUer it. U the
<br />Senator wishes to l!Iubmit the amend.
<br />ment, It ought to be submitted. arid 1t
<br />ought to lie on the table and be printed,
<br />to awaJt action when the JoInt rellolu.
<br />tton 18 consJdered.
<br />Mr. WHERRY. I respectfully ~a:Y to.
<br />the dllltlngulllhed. majorlty leader that it
<br />was not my Intention to have an outburst
<br />ot enthusiasm OD the part of Senators to
<br />get theIr names on tliliJ: amendment,
<br />merely to pUt on an Uh1bltIon IJke con.
<br />verts waltJni UP the sawdUllt trail to
<br />shake the hand of BJIly Bunday, But I
<br />llbouJd 11ke to remind the c1llltJn.aulshed
<br />
<br />:<
<br />
<br />majority leader that he has brought for-
<br />ward a comDtlttee print of House J01nt
<br />Resolution 371, and It Is my underlltand_
<br />log from the majority leader that Imme.
<br />dlately loUow:1ng the dispOsition 01 the
<br />pendlng bill It w1ll be made the untln-
<br />tshed bustness. I ~hou1d Uke t.o give Sen-
<br />ators who bel1eve In tbe decontrol ot
<br />meat an opportunity to be coauthors and
<br />Introducers 01 the a.mendment. r was
<br />simply t.ryln8 to facllltate matters and
<br />comply with the reQue!lt of the majority
<br />leader so that we could proceed, wlth-
<br />out"lnterference with his wishes, with the
<br />consJderatlon of House Joint Resolution
<br />371. .1 should I1ke to give Senatorll wbo
<br />are 1nterested an opportunity to sliD
<br />the amendment.
<br />Mr. BARKLEy. "1 feel that the dlgnl_
<br />tied we.y to r;ubrnlt an amentlm~nt is for
<br />any Senator wh'o w1s.hes to submit an
<br />amendment to submit Jt and let It be
<br />printed and lie on the table. It .seems to
<br />:me that 1t Is not good lerl.slatlve practice
<br />to make an electloneerlni tour 01 the
<br />Benate to see how many Senators are
<br />wUllng to be coauthor/! of an 8Qlenclment.
<br />Mr. -WHERRY. The majorIty leader
<br />doell not mean that I am electioneering.
<br />I am lllmply II'lvlng Senators an opper.
<br />tunHy to add their namel!l to the amend-
<br />ment. I will give the d1stlnguJshed ma.
<br />jorlty leader the opportunity 11 he would
<br />like to add hl.!! name.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I thank the Senator
<br />for giving me that opportun1ty. but r
<br />wllI not hit the sawdust t.rall.
<br />Mr. WHERRY. Not at th1ll time.
<br />Mr. PresIdent, I also llend to the desk
<br />another amendment whlch I shall read.
<br />On page 9, between lines 1fo and HI, It 18
<br />proposed to Insert the 101l0wIng:
<br />(8) No maximum prIce ..nel no regulation
<br />or oreler under this act or t.he at..bUJ.u.tlon

<br />The eft'ect at the tallure to enact a

<br />The amendnlent now proposed merely
<br />provIdes that 10 any bUl that mIiht now
