Present: Senators Sparkman (presiding), Church, Lausche, Clark, and Aiken. INTRODUCTION Senator SPARKMAN. Let the committee come to order, please. We expect several other Senators to be here, but we have quite a list of witnesses, so I think we had better get started. The subject for the hearing this morning is S. Con. Res. 32, the socalled Planning for Peace resolution. This resolution was introduced by Senator Clark for himself and 25 cosponsors on April 8. (S. Con. Res. 32 is as follows:) [S. Con. Res. 32, 89th Cong., 1st sess.] CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Whereas it is the policy of the United States, as stated by President Johnson in his communication to the Congress on arms control on January 15, 1965, to be "vigilant for opportunities for improving the hopes for peace"; and Whereas the steps taken toward peace in the past four years, including the adoption of the limited nuclear test ban treaty, the hot line agreement, the United Nations resolution against weapons in space, and the pursuit of a policy of mutual example in reducing excessive defense expenditures, have contributed to the relaxation of international tensions; and Whereas these developments have enhanced the prospect for the negotiation of further international agreements based upon mutual interest and calculated to advance the cause of world peace; and Whereas the basic purpose of United States foreign policy is the achievement of a just and lasting peace, which can best be attained through the development of the rule of law in the international community; and Whereas the United Nations General Assembly, at its fourteenth session, ununanimously adopted "the goal of general and complete disarmament under effective international control", and called upon governments "to make every effort to achieve a constructive solution of this problem"; and Whereas President Eisenhower stated on September 22, 1960, to the Fifteenth General Assembly, "Thus, we see as our goal, not a superstate above nations, but a world community embracing them all, rooted in law and justice and enhancing the potentialities and common purposes of all peoples"; and Whereas President Kennedy stated on September 25, 1961, that we must create "worldwide law and law enforcement as we outlaw worldwide war and weapons", and stated further on June 10, 1963, that "our primary long-range interest" is "general and complete disarmament-designed to take place by stages, permitting parallel political developments to build the new institutions of peace which would take the place of arms"; and 1 |
