On these parts, I shall discuss various issues that confront the Senate, and I shall plan frequently to have a guest with me each time. Today, I have the great pleasure of having one of my very closest friends in the Senate as my guest, Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin. He closes areas for a moment. As I say, this bill, in my judgment, Bill Proxmire, as one of the great constitutional liberals of the United States Senate. And the fact that he is a good friend of mine can be evidenced by this fellow that you see in front of the camera. Because to my great surprise, the other noon, I was asked to leave the floor of the Senate and come down to a luncheon in charge of my friend Proxmire.

That's correct. Well, this is a bill which is extremely important to both of our states and certainly the lumber industry, because it simply is going to provide more jobs. It's going to provide more work and more business for lumber. The reason for this is that this bill on conservative estimates will provide 200,000 more housing starts next year than last year. Last year, the emergency housing bill passed by Congress increased housing starts from about 900,000 units to about an annual rate at the end of the year of 1,000,004. This bill would permit us to maintain that rate and provide, therefore, on the basis of most calculations, another half a million jobs throughout America because there will be 200,000 units, more units started this year. And I might say, incidentally, that a large share of those jobs will be in the lumber industry.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257#t=169.36,219.88"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257/transcript/76207/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 1:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, I think it's a very important bill that we passed and the colleges of our state, in fact, of the nation, we're very much concerned about some of the paper costs of this bill.

When everyone knew that the colleges weren't going to have any trouble borrowing money to build such college buildings as they needed.

Now, I want to say just a word about the a fight that the senator from Wisconsin is starting in the Senate this year that I think in the next few years is going to bear fruit. This man, my guest on this program, had the courage to stand up on the floor of the United States Senate the other day and publicly criticize the seniority system in the Senate and respect the committee chairmanships. And I want to tell you, that takes a great deal of parliamentary courage, because with the resignation from the Foreign Relations Committee of the Dark Green as chairman, it raised again this whole question of filling chairmanships on Senate committee. Now, the senator from Wisconsin and I have a very high regard from a friend, the senator from Arkansas, Mr. Fulbright, who will be the new chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but he'll be German on the basis of the seniority system, as will Robertson of Virginia and be chairman of the Finance Committee on a system of seniority. And this man from Wisconsin stood up on the floor of the Senate and served notice that he intends to do what he can to change the seniority system in the Senate and the selection of committee chairmen, because the effect is that now a small group of Southern states really control the committees in the Senate as far as their chairmanships are concerned. And they they have I wish you tell them about the seniority problem, because I'm back of you to the limit. And I intend to make a speech on it within the next few days.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257#t=359.22,463.03"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257/transcript/76207/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, thank you very much, Wayne, and I very much appreciate it, because I think this is a more serious problem for the entire country, particularly for those who live outside the south. The fact is that the South now has a stranglehold on committee chairmanships. They have ten of the 15 major committees of virtually all the economic committees. The two senators from Virginia, Byrd and Robertson control the two prime economic committees in the Senate. That means when there is conflict in the South, the rest of the country, the South, of course, is a position of terrific power. I think, though, Bob La Follette used to say that the that the committees are little legislatures and they are indeed a committee recommendation is 99 times out of 190% of the time effective If they say the bill should pass, will pass the Senate, they should be defeated. It will be defeated. Now, this puts the Southerners who in their chairmanships have great control and influence in a position of great power, which I think is unjustified. Now, we haven't always had this. There is nothing in the Constitution to provide for it. There have been times in the past when committee chairmen were selected on some other basis. I'm not asking for any drastic or radical change, very modest proposal that would permit the South to hold most of their chairmanship would provide that no section. The country could have more than half of the chairmanships. We would displace none of the present chairman. But in the future, as chairmanships opened up, it would be it would mean that the next ranking man in seniority coming up from outside the south would succeed to the chairmanships. And until you reached a point where the South had less than a majority of the chairmanships, I think it's only fair and just.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257#t=463.48,554.89"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141312/file/261257/transcript/76207/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 1:\u003c/strong\u003e I think it's a sound proposal of what the senator from Wisconsin has really just told us is that you and I have a direct interest in the procedures of the Senate in respect to our legislative right. If we want to get legislation through the Senate that's going to benefit all the people of this country, then we need a greater distribution of the committee chairmanships across the country. And that's what the senator from Wisconsin is fighting for.

We know they can do that. Other senators know they can do that. The fact is, we haven't had any really effective civil rights legislation passed.
