I think that is very important because the RECORD shows that from 1917 until now. on five measures which were regarded as most important by the Senate to the Nation cloture was immediately voted. and that on all the other matters listed. except the more extreme civil rights cases. the bills were passed thereafter without great delay. I should like to read into the RECORD some of those bills without stating the dates on which they were enacted. or whether they were enacted in their precise form. in relation to which cloture was not voted. and which were passed in some amended form. The measures covered which were later enacted into law were as follows: The emergency tariff. the FordneyMcCumber tariff. the Bird Migratory Refugee Act. the retirement of disabled emergency officers of the world war. the Colorado River Development Act. a bill covering public buildings in the District of Columbia. a general Banking Act. and the Atomic Energy Act. which most of us refer to as the McMahon Act. because we served in the Senate with the distinguished Senator who was the leader in bringing that act into existence. I believe that list covers most of the measures on which cloture was refused. but which were later passed either in their precise form or in an amended form. generally slightly amended.
