Gale W. McGee presiding. Senator MCGEE. This morning the committee will begin hearings on the problem of clock confusion and on the need for improved time uniformity throughout the United States. I hope that members of the committee, witnesses, and spectators have solved their own weekend problems of clock confusion and maybe after the added adjustment during the night, we are ready to go ahead this morning on eastern daylight saving time, or on what might hereafter be called Atlantic standard time. Pending before the committee are three bills designed to modernize the 45-year-old Standard Time Act, and achieve a more uniform and rational system of time. One is S. 1033, introduced by Chairman Magnuson, at the request of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Another is S. 1195, introduced by Senator Cotton, the ranking minority member of the committee. And over the weekend, Senator Robertson introduced in the Senate another proposal aimed at making our time practices more uniform. His bill, S. 1394 would establish daylight time uniformly throughout the United States during the months of June, July, and August of each year and would prevent States or their political subdivisions from prescribing any time standards in conflict with the Federal provision. The committee, of course, welcomes Senator Robertson's interest in the solution of the time confusion and his bill will be considered by the committee, along with the other two just mentioned. The bills and related materials will be inserted in the record at this point. (The bills follow :) [S. 1033, 88th Cong., 1st sess.] A BILL To establish a uniform system of time standards and measurement for the United States and to require the observance of such time standards for all purposes Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as "The Standard Time Act of 1963". SEC. 2. As used in this Act (a) The term "agency" means the agency, commission, or department designated by Congress to administer the provisions of this Act.
