I am pleased to be able to say that Chairman Sam Ervin and Vice Chairman Howard Baker of the Senate Select Committee have agreed to this procedure.

I have further requested that the Senate give its consent to the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, adopted in November 1972 by the United States and 91 other nations.

I recommend that the Senate give prompt consideration to the convention and consent to its ratification.

I ask the Senate's advice and consent to ratification of the Treaty, and an expression of support from both Houses of the Congress for the Interim Agreement on Strategic Offensive Arms.

I urge the Senate to give its advice and consent to ratification.

This is a lot easier forum than the Senate of the United States, I can assure you.

I am also renewing my request that the Senate give its advice and consent on the two new international conventions on oil spills and the pending amendments to the 1954 Oil Spills Convention.

I will submit Congressman Bush's name to the new Senate on January 20th for confirmation.

There are very few deliberative bodies that have the reputation that you members of the Senate have--charity toward one another.

Tennessee needs him in the Senate and the Nation needs him in the Senate.

The United States needs a young, dynamic, compassionate, fighting liberal representing New York in the United States Senate--Bob Kennedy.

I speak in the Senate for Massachusetts.

While I naturally wanted to see the Senate version of the minimum wage bill enacted into law, I and the colleagues supporting me were willing to accept a reasonable compromise.

The Democrats tried again and again in both the Senate and the House to get the bill through, but they were blocked at every turn of the road by the Republicans.

I hope, therefore, that the Senate will find it possible to give early and favorable consideration to this Protocol.

To the Senate: I return herewith, without my approval, S. 110, a bill 'To amend the Interstate Commerce Act with respect to certain agreements between carriers,' because it would permit an important segment of the economy to obtain immunity from the antitrust laws, and would do so without providing adequate safeguards to protect the public interest.

I am glad to see the adoption by the Senate and House of the principle of generous relief to unemployment.
