By aaaaaaaaJ Henderson Lanham ^ HOYV CONGRESS LEGISLATES In my first report, I mentioned the LaFollette-Monroney Reor¬ ganization Bill passed by the Seventy-ninth Congress, and adopted as part of the rules of the House and Senate for the Eightieth Congress. This was the bill that reduced the num¬ ber of standing- committees in the Senate from 33 to 15, and from 48 in the House to 19, and in other ways sought to speed up the legislative process. I thought you might be interested to know something more about the details of the passage of a bill through the House and Sen¬ ate until it becomes a law by the signature of the President. INTRODUCTION OF BILLS: In the first place, any member cf Congress can introduce a bill by simply dropping it in a box at the side of the presiding of¬ ficer’s desk. If he is skilled and experienced in drawing bills he may draw it himself. If not, there is expert help available, i The statement J,hat any mem¬ ber may introduce a bill, is sub¬ ject to the provision that all bills appropriating money, or levying a tax must be introduced in the House by some member thereof. REFERRED TO COMMITTEES: The bill after being thrown into the legislative hopper is referred by *the presiding officer to one of the Standing Committees of the House or Senate as the case may be. Of course the presid¬ ing officer in the House is called hie speaker, the office now being neld hv by a o Republican, Joe Tnp Mart- Mart In. Ordnarily the presiding of¬ ficer of the Senate is the Vice- President, Now that we have no Vice-President, the President Pro Tern- presides over the Sen¬ ate. This post is now filled by Senator Arthur Vandenberg. The bill is assigned to the appro¬ priate committee, as for instance a bill affecting veterans' rights is referred to the Committee on Veterans Affairs, h hill affecting the army or navy is referred to the Armed Services Committee, etc. Each of the standing com¬ mittees is composed of twenty- five members—in some cases a few more—there being on each, fifteen Republicans, and ten Democrats. It is apparent that the Republicans control all committee, as well as the House and Senate. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of each commit- tee is a member of the majority -’-rty. now Republican, of course. Public Hearings After a bill is assigned to a committee, public hearings are had if the bill Ls of great pub¬ lic interest, which sometimes ’ sts for weeks- If the commit- *e thinks the bill should be passed upon by the members of the Housq or Senate, as the case may be, it is reported out by the committee, and put upon one of the calendars for action. Here is where the powerful Rule Committee comes in. It really controls what legislation comes up for passage. If this Rules Committee thinks the bill should become a law, it is placed on the House Calendar for the State of the Union, usually called up for action by the Chairman of the Rules Committee. This rule fixes the limit on debate, and by its terms determines whether or not amendments may be of¬ fered from the floor of the House. If amendments are not to be allowed, it is called a closed rule; otherwise an open rule. How Passed After debate for the period fixed by the rule, equally divided between the majority and the minority parties, the bill is voted upon. Sometimes the vote is simply by voice vote—sometimes even by unanimous consent— sometimes by a standing vote, and sometimes, when a sufficient number of the members desire, by a roll call vote. The bill, if passed, is then sent to the Sen¬ ate, where the same process is repeated all over again. The Senate may amend the bill, or even pass a different bill on the some subject. In which case it is sent back to the House for agreement. If the House disa- the entire matter is sent what is called a Conference made up of members both the House and Senate, by the presiding offi- r. y ■ nr- ^1 WW?-. * .hi ■ m ffl & • J • : , si s, | ; .. if .. ■ cers of the two bodies. When the Conference Committee a- grees, the bill as finally agreed to, - is - J then submitted to ^ each Dua y Ior Imai approval, now- ever, if the bill is not amended in the Senate, but is passed as sent over by the House, it then goes to the President for his or his veto- The same true of a bill amended by the and finally agreed to by both houses. If he vetoes it, the bill does not become a law unless it is passed again by a vote of both the and Senate- Of course i;! bill originates in the Senate, is passed there first,, and then to the House for action is an over-simplification of legislative process, as there many other things that can, sometimes do happen to in the rugged road it must before becoming a law- Democrats Stymied There is just one other mat¬ of ipterest I might mention. is difficult now for a Demo to get any bill passed. Of we introduce many; but it is a bill that the Republic¬ thing should be passed, they somehow in committees substitute a bill bearing the of the Republican chair so that their party will get for the legislation.. Prob¬ the Democrats did the same when they were in power. legislation is killed in simply by the failure the committee to take action. a bill is thus frozen in the author or advo¬ of the bill can file a peti¬ to discharge the commit¬ and if the requisite number members of the House or Sen¬ as the case may be, sign the the bill is brought up passage without a favorable by the committee.- Fight For Terminal Leave In Cash This is well illustrated by a now pending in the Veterans Committee, introduced a Democrat, an old ‘classmate mine, Dwight L. Rogers now Florida. This bill provides the terminal leave pay for men, in cash instead of bonds as originally passed last Because the bill bears the of a Democrat, or because Republicans fear it will in¬ with their plans to give “big boys” a big tax cut, the has not acted on the Mr. Rogers has filed his to discharge the com¬ I have sigened this pe¬ because the bill is fair right. The commissioned were paid in cash, and is no reason why there be any discrimination officers and enlisted in this matter. I hope we get enough signatures to the bill to the floor of the for action. Rogers ought get credit for the legislation, it was he who sponsored the ! OUTLINE HISTORY OF AMERICAN RED CROSS In 1859 on the battlefield of Scflttmto, ’ where the Austrians were ^ting the allied _ French , and Italian armies, there was born the idea of an organization devoted to the care and relief of the wounded in time of war. The idea grew and developed and became alive iff the years 1863-64, through the work of Henri Dunant, a Swiss philan¬ thropist, in whose country's hon¬ or the organizaton’s emblem was selected. The Red Cross banner is the Swiss flag with colors in reverse. In the United States of Amer¬ ica, Clara Barton persuaded President Garfield to a favorable consideration of the movement, and the American National As¬ sociation of Red Cross was in¬ corporated. In 1882 President Chester A. Arthur signed the Red Cross treaty and Clara Barton sugges¬ ted a disaster and preparedness relief program. The organiza tion carried on for 18 years, largely as a relief agency until 1900. In that year Mabel T. Boardman suggested centraliza¬ tion, which resulted in the or¬ ganization we have today—a quasi-governmental agency with certain definite duties and func¬ tions established in the congres¬ charter of 1905- Traveling thousands of miles the country, Miss organized the system Red Cross chapters all over United States in 1910, inau¬ the $1 popular mem¬ which gave all America opportunity of sharing in work of the Red Cross, per¬ by them and for them they might live. As our techniques and servi¬ became perfected, the Red idea expanded and during following years we added Aid, Water Safety and Ac¬ Prevention, Nutrition and other programs to already established Services. At the time of World War I the of the nation wanted a in Red Cross service and Junior Red Cross was born. Henry P. Davison in 1919 crys¬ bill giving enlisted men leave pay. He was to accept the payment in in order to get his bill in the last Congress.

Using our experience in World War I as a foundation, the or¬ ganization swung into action with all its resources. Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces ex¬ panded at such a spectacular rate that we are able to lAake good our pledge to remain at the serviceman’s side wherever he might be. The war is won but the emer¬ gency is not over. Red Cross services to the armed forces will continue as long as there is a soldier overseas and as long as veterans and their dependents have need of our advice and as¬ sistance. In spite of our empha¬ sis on the needs of our service¬ men and women we have never forgotten the home front, and cur established programs have continued to serve the people of America with intensified vigor all during the emergency- Red Cross is the dynamic growth of a great ideal.
