Chairman RUSSELL. No. The Congress has a right to give them, whether they approve them or not, but as a general proposition this committee does not report bills until we have at least their views on them. We get their suggestions and views and we have not yet heard from the Department of Defense. If there are no further questions, Senator, we are delighted to have you here. Senator GOLDWATER. Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman. Senator THURMOND. Mr. Chairman, I just want to say it is a great pleasure to have before this committee a man who believes in the Constitution of the United States. Senator GOLDWATER. Thank you very much. (Whereupon, at 12:10 p.m. the committee went into executive ses sion.) о |
