NONSECTARIAN PRAYERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mr. ROBERTSON (for himself, Mr. TALMADGE, Mr. STENNIS, and Mr. THURMOND) Submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 81); which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:

Whereas from the first permanent white settlements in North America at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock we have recognized the existence of God and our dependence on Him; and

Whereas the greatest single threat to our political and religious freedom is posed by nations who deny the existence of God; and

Whereas the atheists in our Nation are making a concerted drive to eliminate the recognition of God in our Government as completely as He has been eliminated in Russia, and have recently included in that program the demand to eliminate from public schools, not only the voluntary recitation of a prayer, but all hymns, all religious paintings, and all celebrations connected with Christmas and Easter; and

Whereas there never has been a greater need to inculcate in the minds and hearts of the youth of our Nation a reverence for God and faith in His omnipotence; and

Whereas with that in view the Board of Regents of the State of New York prepared for voluntary use in the public schools of that State a nonsecular form of civic prayer which merely recognized the existence of God and our dependence on Him; and

Whereas in the case of Engle v. Vitale, the Supreme Court of the United States on June 25, 1962, declared the use of that voluntary prayer to be unconstitutional; and

Whereas the clear implication of that Court action is the outlawing of public recognition of God by any government agency, Federal or State, including a prohibition against employment of chaplains in both branches of the Congress and for all branches of our armed services; and

Wheras the Congress desires to go on reeord as reaffirming that we are one nation under God and are desirous of passing on to generations yet unborn that rich heritage: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the designation by a public school authority of a nonsectarian prayer for use, as a part of the activities of a public school, does not constitute an establishment of religion or an infringement of the doctrine of

72100-S J-87-2-23

separation of church and state in violation of the Constitution of the United States, if participation in the offering of that prayer by individual students is not made compulsory.

CONSIDERATION BY UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY OF PERSECUTED UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC AND ORTHODOX CHURCHES

Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota, submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 82); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

Whereas the western part of Ukraine fell under Soviet Russian domination after World War II and was incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic according to the agreements entered into at Teheran and Yalta; and

Where as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Ukraine are members of the United Nations whose General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the 10th of December 1948, declaring that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; and

Whereas the Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics unequivocally guarantees freedom of religion for all its citizens; and

Whereas the Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-Second Congresses of the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have declared that "Stalinist" and antiparty methods of coercion are to be denounced and abandoned; and

Whereas the Russian Orthodox Church has become a member of the World Council of Churches, which vehemently supports the toleration of all faiths; and

Whereas the Metropolitan Joseph Slipy of Lwiv, head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, has served 17 years in prison, and he, with many members of the clergy, are still imprisoned: Now.

therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President is hereby requested to make such efforts, through the United States delegation to the United Nations, as may be necessary to place the condition of the persecuted Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox Churches on the agenda of the next United Nations Assembly for its consideration.

SEC. 2. The President is further requested to take all such steps, through the Secretary of State and the United States delegation to the United Nations, as may be possible to encourage that Archbishop Joseph Slipy, Metropolitan of Lwiv and head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Ukraine, and all other prelates of the Orthodox, Protestant, Jewish, Moslem and other faiths, be released from prison and granted their freedom.
