| Message | Mr. Speaker, I do not understand why anyone should feel that the government should encourage or even discourage the formation of Workers' Councils. The government in this case should stay out of this and allow the workers to make this decision for themselves. I yield |

They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
