TO EXPRESS THE SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT THE PURPOSE OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IS VICTORY OVER COMMUNISM

Mr. TOWER submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 60); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

Whereas the foreign policy of the United States appears to omit the possibility of complete and clear-cut victory over Communist imperialism; and

Whereas this is a policy which places human survival above human dignity, which fears random manifestations of opinion more than it nurtures the hope of freedom; and

Whereas the Congress has not consented, nor can it consent to such a policy; and

Whereas the mission of the United States must be to secure victory over tyranny, the end of man's enslavement of man, and the ultimate impotence of all concentrations of power which may now or hereafter threaten the peace of

the world and the freedom of its peoples; and

Whereas this purpose should be enunciated in such a way that whatever enemies we face cannot mistake it, so that the people we represent may determine their own support, and so that the enslaved peoples of the earth may find hope for a future in which their freedom, and the whole cause of freedom, is not sacrificed for safety but instead is consecrated as the central cause of our time and all times: Therefore be it

Resolved by the Senate the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the purpose of the United States in its relations with other nations of the world should be

(1) victory over Communist tyranny:

(2) to oppose by all effective means the growth of any power dedicated to aggression or the denial of freedom to its own or any other peoples:

(3) to oppose communism's worldwide efforts to subvert nations and peoples by the most effective means available:

(4) to support for all nations submitted to Soviet, Communist Chinese, or other Communist control since 1939, the right of free choice of government, after proper preparation and under appropriate electoral supervision;

(5) to press by all diplomatic means for the withdrawal of Soviet, Communist Chinese, or other Communist forces, both uniformed and covert. from all areas entered by them since 1939:

(6) to reduce Communist war machines, and the economies which support them, to levels at which they can no longer threaten the peace of the world;

(7) to fully arm, both in material and morally, ourselves for these tasks: (8) to support and fully defend those whose freedom is threatened:

(9) to support and assist those whose aspirations for freedom are challenged by internal or external forces whose ultimate path would lead to tyranny;

(10) to counsel and assist those who, untried in freedom, are tempted by the promise of rapid growth to embrace coercive economic systems, that they may be preserved instead on the path of the only proven progress of freedom-that of individual dedication. dignity, initiative, and responsibility in a free capitalistic economy;

(11) to enjoin all nations to a course of full commitment to self-determination; to discourage attitudes of benevolent neutrality which, when men are not free, debase all men, weaken all freedom, and work not for peace but for the advantage of aggressors; and

(12) to remind a world often fearfully unsure, that peace in our time depends not upon the concessions of free nations but upon their determination and upon the enemy's assessment of that determination, that life itself is no

more dear than the conditions of that life, and that freedom is the only tolerable human condition for the people of these United States and for a world at peace.

(1) the extent to which departments and agencies of the Government are engaged in the production or furnishing of goods and services which can be supplied by private enterprise;

(2) the extent to which necessity or the national security require that such goods and services be produced or furnished by departments or agencies of the Government; and

(3) the means and methods by which the function of producing or furnishing such goods and services may be transferred at the earliest practicable time and to the greatest practicable extent to private competitive enterprise within the United States. SEC. 2. For the purposes of this resolution, the commitee, from February 1. 1962. through January 31, 1963, is authorized to (1) make such expenditures as it deems advisable; (2) employ upon a temporary basis, technical, clerical, and other assistants and consultants: Prorided, That the minority is authorized at its discretion to select one person for appointment, and the person so selected shall be appointed and his compensation shall be so fixed that his gross rate shall not be less by more than $1,200 than the highest gross rate paid to any other employee; and (3) with the prior consent of the heads of the departments or agencies concerned, and the Committee on Rules and Administration, to utilize the reimbursable services, information, facilities, and personnel of any of the departments or agencies of the Government.
