RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR SENATE INVESTIGATING

COMMITTEES

TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1954

UNITED STATES SENATE,

COMMITTEE ON RULES AND ADMINISTRATION,

SUBCOMMITTEE ON RULES,
Washington, D. C.

The subcommittee met at 2: 18 p. m., pursuant to recess, in room 318 of the Senate Office Building, Senator William E. Jenner (chairman) presiding.

Present: Senator Jenner (presiding).

Also present: Boris S. Berkovitch, counsel to Subcommittee on Rules; W. F. Bookwalter, chief clerk of the Committee on Rules and Administration; Darrell St. Claire, professional staff member, Committee on Rules and Administration; and Judge Robert Morris. The CHAIRMAN. The committee will come to order.

Senator Stennis is the first witness.

Senator Stennis, will you take the stand?

Senator, do you want to be sworn to testify? It is up to you.
Senator STENNIS. I don't mind being sworn.

The CHAIRMAN. Do you swear the testimony given in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Senator STENNIS. I do.

Senator STENNIS. No; I have not yet, but I have prepared here a statement with the committee?

Senator STENNIS. Mr. Chairman, I have.

The CHAIRMAN. You have not filed a prepared statement?

Senator STENNIS. No; I have not yet, but I have prepared here a very brief statement on this Senate Concurrent Resolution 86, introduced by Senator Olin Johnston of South Carolina and myself, the substance of which is to prohibit the broadcasting by television or by recorded means, any television or motion picture camera or other means, any committee proceeding or subcommittee proceeding.

Now, my statement is brief and highly condensed, and perhaps I can read it as quickly as I could make the points that I have in mind. The CHAIRMAN. All right. You may proceed.

Senator STENNIS. It is less than four typewritten pages.

The CHAIRMAN. Go right ahead, sir.
