FOR THF RECORD

■ At loggerheads, Sen. J. William Fulbright and numbers of his Democratic colleagues. Sen. Henry Jackson (Wash.), on Fulbright’s espousal of increased trade with the Soviet Union: “Fulbright, along with Brezhnev, is the principal advocate of one-way deals with the Russians—we give and they take.” . . . Sen. Russell Long (La.) on much the same subject (liberalized trade with Peking): “If we get taken by the Chinamen as bad as we got taken by the Russians [on the wheat deal] we’ll be washing their clothes before this thing is over.” . . . Sen. Hubert Humphrey, on the Fulbright-led vote against the nomination of former U.S. Ambassador to Laos McMurtrie God- ley, as Assistant Secretary of State: “It was wrong to punish a guy like Godley who was just taking orders.” (Humphrey, McGee, and Sparkman were the only three Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee to vote for God- ley.) . . . Finally, Foreign Relations Committee voted to provide funds for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty for the next two years. Fulbright has been trying to kill the RFE and Radio Liberty appropriations for years. He was joined in the vote against funding them by Stuart Symington (Mo.) and Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.). The bill was sponsored by liberal Republican Charles Percy.
