I have accomplished my purpose. and I am proud to stand on the floor of the Senate today and join with the Presiding Officer and my other colleagues on the committee in support of a bill which I believe in part overcomes my two objections. which I shall name very briefly. As the Presiding Officer knows. I led the fight in committee against the provision in the bill which gives to the President such sweeping powers as the bill gives him. in placing at his disposal under his discretion huge sums of money for expenditure abroad. I refer to the $200 million Asiatic fund. When the matter first came before the committee. and before we had our debate in committee and our final decision. there were no checks placed on the President. Now we dohave some checks.
