The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 11:15 a.m., in room 457, Old Senate Office Building, Senator Edward J. Gurney presiding. Also present: J. G. Sourwine, chief counsel; Alfonso L. Tarabochia, chief investigator. Senator GURNEY. The subcommittee will come to order. Today, we open hearings on six bills introduced by Senator Eastland at the beginning of the session. These bills are: S. 1499, S. 1500, S. 1501, S. 1502, S. 1503, and S. 1504. They are related, in that they all deal with internal security, in one aspect or another. All of the provisions contained in these bills were included in the bill S. 12 of the 91st Congress, which was substantially identical with S. 2988 of the 90th Congress. The bill S. 2988 was the outgrowth of some 3 years of hearings on the subject of gaps in our internal security laws, and how to fill them. Further hearings were held on this bill, after it was introduced, and in the last session of the Congress hearings were held on the bill S. 12. Although S. 12 was reported out of the subcommittee early in the 91st Congress, it died on the calendar of the Judiciary Committee. That bill has been split up into six measures which are now before us, because it appeared that perhaps one reason why the Judiciary Committee never took on the job of marking up and voting on S. 12 was a feeling that it was simply too big a package to be made the pending business before the committee, to the exclusion of everything else. Perhaps if the committee can take these bills one at a time, at least some of them can receive detailed committee attention. Our hearing today had been scheduled to open with testimony from a representative from the U.S. Coast Guard, but last night the Coast Guard asked that the appearance of its witness be deferred until tomorrow morning, May 12, and that request was granted.
