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-

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,

This is well illustrated by a

get enough signatures to

! 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.

League of Red Cross Societies-
The League is composed of rep¬
resentatives of the national Red
Cross societies in this and other
lands and now has a member¬
ship of 63 countries.
1941 brought the greatest
challenge with which the Amer¬
ican Red Cross has ever faced.
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. There is no end
