Senator DODD. Senator Javits, I believe you have a statement. Senator JAVITS. Senator Fong does not have a statement?

Senator FONG. No; I do not have any statement, Mr. Chairman. I anticipated listening to the testimony that will be presented before the

committee.

Senator JAVITS. Mr. Chairman, then, may I be recognized very briefly?

Senator DODD. Yes, Senator Javits.

Senator JAVITS. Mr. Chairman, I would like to identify myself with the deep concerns that you have, and pay my tribute to the Chair for his interest in this matter, which has been very definitely a major matter of legislative business of the chairman's.

Even in the State of New York, where we have State laws with relation to the possession of weapons, especially concealed weapons, our police officials, as reflected by the testimony of Lawrence Pierce, the deputy commissioner of police of New York City, who appeared before the subcommittee last year, believe we have a tremendous problem of juvenile arrests for felonies including the possession of weapons, with a substantial proportion of the weapons obtained from outside

the State.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to include in the record reference to the facts and figures concerning shipment of weapons into New York by one company.
