| Message | Mr. Speaker, the object of the original legislation was to minimize graft and maximize efficiency in defense planning by turning the decision over to the councils. Hutori's councils range in population from a mere tenth of a million of some forty-three million persons – obviously they have a wide range of needs, yet you propose there should be one solution. This bill would merely encourage House members to spend much of their time jockeying for the most funds for their constituencies – a dangerous precedent to set. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
