Greek vessels have hauled goods into North Vietnam since the beginning of this year.

Mr. Speaker, this incident illustrates the vital need for a strong American merchant shipping industry. The U.S. Government must not depend on the whims and temperament of foreign shipping interests. We need our own ships to handle defense needs in time of national

emergency.

If the American shipping industry declines any more, and it now handles less than 10 percent of the total traffic of goods flowing through U.S. ports, this Nation may one day find itself landlocked when it needs to sealift goods to a war zone.

tween the two countries reaching far beyond the automotive products field.

While the agreement falls short of full free trade in automotive products, it is a significant start. a significant start. The remaining restrictions imposed by Canada will become less important as the Canadian automotive industry makes the efficiency gains which the agreement would permit. In time, as the Canadian production costs approached U.S. levels, these remaining restrictions would serve no further purpose, and the North American automotive market could realize its full potential growth in employment, efficiency, and productivity.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CANADA Mr. CLEVENGER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. DINGELL] may extend his remarks at this point in the RECORD and include extraneous matter.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Michigan?

There was no objection.

Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, in recent years the traditional tranquillity of our relationships with Canada has been seriously disturbed by Canadian concern over her heavy deficit with the United States in automotive trade. Some methods employed by Canada to reduce her automotive trade imbalance have threatened to trigger a retaliatory sequence that could have grown into a mutually disastrous trade war between the world's greatest commercial partners. Thanks to imaginative leadership on both sides of the border, such folly has not been permitted to occur. Instead, calm and reasonable negotiations have resulted in the Automotive Products Trade Agreement we are considering

here.

I support, without reservation, the bill before us which would implement the agreement and provide for effective assistance to those firms and workers who may find it necessary to make adjustments.

While some of the initial adjustments may be difficult, the longer range consequences of this trade agreement are stronger automotive industries, greater automotive employment, and more value for car customers in both countries.

Considering the tremendous impact the automotive industry has on the economy of our Nation-about one-sixth of the U.S. gross national product is derived from spending on on automotive transportation-the direct benefits of expanding the total North American automotive market are in themselves of very major importance.

But what may prove to be the most important results of all are the further implications of this automotive trade agreement with Canada. The duty removals it provides for, and the improved spirit of cooperation it reflects, can be the pattern for an expanding trade be

moting the economic development of both countries and in strengthening the bonds of friendship and understanding between them. The Automotive Products Trade Agreement represents a landmark on the road toward the freer trade that economic logic demands between the two nations whose peoples and cultures have so much in common.

Canada has already demonstrated her good faith in this imaginative and historic agreement. It would be unthinkable for us, in our turn, to pass up the great opportunity that has been opened. I urge that we implement the agreement by passage of H.R. 9042.

SENATE

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1965

The Senate met at 12 o'clock meridian, and was called to order by the Vice President.

The Chaplain, Rev. Frederick Brown Harris, D.D., offered the following prayer:

Eternal Father, in changing and troubled days we pray for conceptions big enough, and spirits strong enough, to match the awesome time in which we live and serve.

We face the tasks here with minds startled by the swift march of worldshaking events. Hidden fires are flaming forth, consuming the old habitations of men. We hear angry voices that challenge all that men have counted

in chains are chanting a new song of expected freedom.

For social systems that have sentenced the masses to grinding poverty, for arrogant overlords of government and arrogant overlords of government and industry who have held human life more cheap than merchandise, the ax is at cheap than merchandise, the ax is at the root of the rotted tree, the judge is at the barred gate, as the shining sword of universal freedom is lifted against all that denies and enslaves.

As Thy emancipating truth goes marching on, may our souls be swift to answer Thee, and jubilant our feet. We ask it in the dear Redeemer's name. Amen.

THE JOURNAL

On request of Mr. MANSFIELD, and by unanimous consent, the reading of the Journal of the proceedings of Tuesday, Journal of the proceedings of Tuesday, August 31, 1965, was dispensed with.

MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT

Messages in writing from the President of the United States submitting nominations, were communicated to the Senate by Mr. Geisler, one of his secretaries.

MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE

A message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Bartlett, one of its

House had passed a bill (H.R. 9042) to provide for the implementation of the Agreement Concerning Automotive Products between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada, and for other purposes, in which it requested the concurrence of the Senate.

By Mr. MAGNUSON, from the Committee on Commerce:

Robert A. Bartley, of Texas, to be a member of the Federal Communications Commission;

Willard Deason, of Texas, to be an Interstate Commerce Commissioner for the remainder of the term expiring December 31, 1965;

Willard Deason, of Texas, to be an Interstate Commerce Commissioner for a term of 7 years expiring December 31, 1972; and William R. Curtis, and sundry other persons, for permanent appointment in the Environmental Science Services Administration.

The VICE PRESIDENT. If there be no further reports of committees, the nominations of the Executive Calendar will be stated.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

The Chief Clerk proceeded to read sundry nominations in the Department of State.

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I ask that the nominations, through the nomination of Phillips Talbot, be confirmed en bloc.

The VICE PRESIDENT. Without ob

jection, the nominations are considered and confirmed en bloc.

Mr. JAVITS subsequently said: Mr. President, I wish to call attention to the confirmation by the Senate today of the nominations of two very distinguished sons of New York. I wish to speak of them separately, because they are deserving of separate statements.

The first is Mr. Harlan Cleveland, who came to Washington as an Assistant Secretary of State in charge of International Organization Affairs, including the United Nations. He did not surrender his idealism, but became a practical diplomat at the same time. He is now given the great responsibility of representing the United States at NATO, replacing another distinguished and highly respected New Yorker, Tom Finletter, where he will have an opportunity to buttress the heart of world security, which is the Atlantic Alliance. His services toward the orientation of the military aspects of the organization come at a historic moment. I am sure he will make a great contribution in that regard.

Mr. Phillips Talbot, of New York, who will succeed another distinguished American, Mr. Henry Labouisse, as Ambassador to Greece, has earned a remarkable reputation as a vigorous diplomat.

I happen to have a special interest in this matter, an international responsibility with respect to Greece, as Chairman of a Special Committee of the NATO Parliamentarians' Conference, which is presently engaged in an effort to encourage closer economic cooperation between Greece and Turkey.

Mr. Talbot can be assured of my vigorous support in his representation of the President in a country whose people, as the world has learned, have great courage and spirit, and which is one of the stanchest allies which the United States has anywhere in the world.
