<br />CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE
<br />
<br />JULY 5
<br />
<br />Renlor Senator from LouisIana [Mr.
<br />OV1:1l70N], who is In chal1le or the !Jill,
<br />and he bll.8 BBreed to accept the lUI1end-
<br />ment.. B.e- t!I pre-sen.t and can speak. for
<br />himsell; but he haa tOld me that he 15
<br />perfectly willing to h.u.ve th.\!l e.mendmenl
<br />1DseI'ted at the proper place In the bill.
<br />Mr. DOWNEY. Mr. Prestdent,l think.
<br />tt 1.& most un{~rtunate to e.tlempt lot thl,
<br />moment to Interlere wIth the nomencla-
<br />ture of the ireat West. The Question
<br />that h8l!l been ra1se-d by the dJstlngu15hed
<br />Senator trom New Jersey hILS been widely
<br />d.Lscwsed, In Cal1fornla and elsewhere.
<br />L1lerally II1Illlons or people have deep
<br />teeIJng about It. The late distinguished
<br />Senator Johnson of California hlltd very
<br />marked and partisan feelings on this
<br />maUer. r hope the Senator from New
<br />JerseY"WlII not at this late hour 1n the
<br />afternoon attempt to settle th1s very COD4
<br />trovenJal question; because, If !I0, thera
<br />wm be no chance to pa.ss this b1U this
<br />afternoon. I trtUl~ that t.he Senator Irom
<br />New Jersey wIll not pQrslst in presenting
<br />the l1Dlendment at t.h1s t1Jne.
<br />Every western BenatQr has ex.traordJ-
<br />nary teelinR9 10 regard to tbls matter.
<br />They will need to be heard on It. It
<br />should. have careful conslden.tlon. We
<br />could 11'0 In~o a. historical dlscU.!lsIon at
<br />coQS!derable length. To determine
<br />whether thls particular decision should
<br />be made would require Ions considera'-
<br />lion.
<br />. 60 I hope the amendment will not he
<br />urged at tb.J.5 time.
<br />Mr. CARVILLE_ Mr. PresIdent, I
<br />tihouJd Uke to assocIate myself with the
<br />posftlan taken by the Senator tram Call-
<br />tomln relative to chani:lng the name ar
<br />Boulder Dam. Inaimtlcb 8IS the matter
<br />haS come up at this late hour. and no
<br />opportunHy h8.ll been a:lforded to a.Ay of
<br />us to 11'0 Into It, I do not belleve tbat It
<br />should be acted upon at \.h1l!I time.
<br />Mr. OVERTON. Mr_ President, In
<br />view ot the eontroversy which the pro-
<br />posal of the SeDAtor trom New Jerl!leY

<br />Mr. HAWKES. Mr. PresIdent, In view
<br />ot.the sra.c1ol15Dess at the Senator trom
<br />Louisiana, the amount ot work whJch be
<br />ha.s done In connecUon with thJs bill, as
<br />well &.!I his desIre to have It paased, and

<br />that Lhe 8er.l.te proceed to consider
<br />Calendar No. 1652, HoulSe bill 6597, the
<br />dood-control b1JL
<br />Mr. AIKEN. :Mr. President, Is that the
<br />,770,000,000 bill?
<br />Mr. BARELEY. I do not know.
<br />Mr. AIKEN. I woUld like to object, tt
<br />the tak..lng up ot the bJII reQuires unan14
<br />moIlS consent. .
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. r hope the Senator
<br />will not object. We mwt take It up.
<br />There is DO point In Pllstpon1ns It.
<br />Mr. AIKEN. Does the Senator expect
<br />to take It up and have It p.asse~ this
<br />aHernoon?
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I do not know how
<br />long It wlll take to Pa&5 1t, but I believe
<br />that it IIhoul~ be taken up for conslderA-
<br />tl.on.
<br />Mr. AIKEN'. I thoullht tbat I mJgbL
<br />speak on the blU.
<br />Mr, BARKLEY. I ha.ve P,O obje1:Uon
<br />to that.
<br />Mr..AI:B::EN, Thb 1a .. type ot bID
<br />whJcb comes before the Senate annually,
<br />and thJ5 one calls tor ,770,000,000, About
<br />t870,000.000 of it Is either directly or In-
<br />directly tor the beneftt ot the State ot
<br />LouIsiana.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I wIsh to say to the
<br />Senator that the OPA extension bW was
<br />made the UD1ln1shed DUSlness with the
<br />understanding that Jt would not be taken
<br />up until Monda,., aDd With the turther
<br />W1~eratandl.Ilg that It mISht be tempo..
<br />rarily laid M1de 110 that tho eena.te CoUld
<br />
<br />consIder the ftood.conlrol blll. I bope
<br />the Senator will not object to taltlng
<br />up the nood-control bill,
<br />Mr. AIKEN. MaY I ask. the majority
<br />leader If he belleves that It wlll be pos-
<br />sIble tor the Senate to take up the
<br />St. Lawrence seaway bIll soon?
<br />Mr. BARKI...E'Y. 1 hope It will be pos-
<br />s1ble. I am 1n favor of 1t.
<br />Mr. AIKEN. I would want more than
<br />hopes.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I cannot ll'Uarantee
<br />tbat It will be taken up at any particular
<br />time. I W111 cooPf.rale to the best of m'1
<br />ability to ~ee that It Is consIdered at t.he
<br />nrst opportunIty. The Senator knows
<br />the parliamentary situation, It I.a Im-
<br />possible to ~aranlee when any bJll can
<br />be taken up bY' the &nate In the lm-
<br />mecllate future. But I am for the St.
<br />Lawrence seaWl\y bill, and will cooperatl!
<br />In havtnll It broulI'ht up and consldered.
<br />Mr. AIKEN. Unfortunately, many who
<br />are Jntert!sted In :!'Iood control are not of
<br />the same ttame of mInd a.s is the Senator
<br />from Kentucky.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. There Is no rule of
<br />the Benate which requJres. merely be-
<br />cause he Is In favor at one bill, that a
<br />liIenator be In lavor or all other bIll:!,
<br />Each blll15tands on Its own teet. I hope
<br />the Benator will not object to takLng up
<br />the ftood-control blU.
<br />Mr, AIKEN. I am apprehensIve Utat
<br />those who are interested In taklng up the
<br />nood-control bUl WIll do all they pOssibly
<br />can do. just as they have In the past, to
<br />prevent the Senate' taking up the St.
<br />Lawrence .seaway bill.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. That 1~ a ch90nce 90U
<br />Of u.s mwt take. '.
<br />Mr. AIKEN. For that reason. I do not
<br />see how I can g1ve con~ent to laying aside
<br />the unnntshed business.
<br />Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President. a
<br />parUamentary inquiry.
<br />The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The
<br />Senator will state It.
<br />Mr. MAGNUSON. At the conclusion
<br />ot the consideration and pMsage oJ the
<br />river and harbor bill, and after the Sen-
<br />ate had taken up the OPA bU!. I under~
<br />stood the Senator from Kentucky to esk
<br />unanUDous consent to lay as1de tempo-
<br />rartly the unfl.nlshed buslne.ll!l and pro..
<br />ceed w1th cons1deratlon of the t100d~
<br />control bill. '1 belJeve that he had .saJd
<br />earlier 1n the day that the Senate would
<br />besln debaUnII' the OPA bill on next Mon.
<br />day, The ChELIr asked 1! there wa.s any
<br />objection. There w&t, nc obJeellon, and
<br />the Chair said that It was eo ordered:
<br />Mr. AIKEN. I did not so understand.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. The Senator tram.
<br />W85h1nlltOn has stated the situatloD cor-
<br />rect.ly. I aaked tilat., tollowlni consider-
<br />ation of tbe river and harbOr blll, the
<br />OPA extension bUl be made the un!l.n-
<br />Isbed' buslnass. r sta.ted that It would
<br />not be taken up untll Monday, and that It
<br />would be my purpose to have It tempo-
<br />rarlly Jald aside In order to take up the
<br />.ft.ood-control bill. That was agreed to.
<br />_ Mr..AIKEN. I am sorJl': but I dId not
<br />understand It in that way.
<br />Mr. J3ARKLE'Y. When, after I made
<br />the unBll.lmous-ccnsent request. U1.
<br />C'I:lalr wed me whether It was wlth the
<br />understanding that the t1ood~control but
