Speech #820151800

I read further from the report: The committee agrees with the objectives of the amendment. which is to curtail the -publicizing of the departments. That is the point. "the publicizing of the departments." . However. the committee believes that it is not the intent of the amendment to curtail the dissemination of information which is necessary for enforcement of law by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. the promotion of safety of human life by such agencies as the Civil Aeronautics Administration. the dissemination of weather information. or. scientific experimentation by such agencies as the National Bureau of Standards and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The committee believes that it is entirely proper for a department to issue scientific and technical bulletins and publications in various fields which are devoted to keeping the public informed of changes in those fields. However. the committee admonishes the departments that its intent is to cut down the flood of publicity releases now being sent out by the departments.
