Excerpt from Hearings Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation: United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room Sr-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Ernest F.Rollings (chairman of the committee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Ivan A. Schlager, senior counsel, and Troy H. Cribb, professional staff member; and Kevin M.Dempsey, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement Of Senator Rollings The Chairman. Good morning. We start a series of hearings this morning on the Gatt agreement. Momentarily, there is a rollcall, and I understand there is one back to back, and so I will make a few introductory remarks and thank our distinguished witness, James Fallows. James Fallows has got all kinds of ways he could be introduced in his book, and I wish everybody would read his book. I think back at the time when I was a page in the State Senate of South Carolina right after the war. During the war there was a fellow named Gist, Senator Gist, from York, and somehow he had gotten a bill enacted to provide free textbooks for the schoolchildren of South Carolina, and old Gist had never had the advantage of a formal education but he was a wily politician. He knew he had some momentum, and to keep it going, by the time the war was over and we young law students were in there paging, he had a bill in to have the books printed down at the penitentiary. And he was going, waxing strong and heavy and everything, and finally Milo Smith, the senator from Bull Swamp asked Gist if he would yield. And Gist said, "Well, of course I would yield. He said, Senator, what about the copyright?" And Gist said, "Oh, I am glad you asked that question." He said, "We will put those damn guards over them and make them copy them right." [Laughter.] Well, I wish I had that same power to make them all read "Looking at the Sun" by James Fallows, the Washington Editor of the Atlantic Monthly. He has written other books and treatises and studies and lived in Japan, Malaysia, out in the Asian Pacific Rim, and was a speech writer, I think, for President Carter. I do not believe you wrote the recent speech President Carter made on Warren Christopher, but you did write some good ones. And I have really been thrilled, because by having you testify I have credibility now, and character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
