The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 o'clock in room 1318, the Capitol, Senator Claiborne Pell (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Sentaor Pell. Also present: Senators Hartke and Hatfield. Senator PELL. The subcommittee will come to order. This morning we'll hear testimony on legislation concerning S. 1976, the bill to establish a George Washington Peace Academy. It is a proposal to create an institution to further the understanding of peace among nations in cooperation among people. It is fitting to turn our thoughts to this subject since it was the wish of our first President. His spirit is still with us, and no effort could be more applauded. More than that, this act is very appropriate in this Bicentennial year. Our witnesses today include Senators Hartke and Hatfield, who will join me at the podium, and a number of representatives coming from various institutions interested in the study of peace. I applaud their testimony, and I would add at this time that since there are a great many witnesses on the schedule and the time pressures being what they are, I would hope that all the witnesses would limit themselves to a verbal presentation lasting 5 or 10 minutes only. I think any thought can be expressed in that time. The full text of each presentation will be put in full in the record. [The text of S. 1976 follows:] (1) |
