The Senate resumed the consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 39) to amend the Constitution to authorize Governors to fill temporary vacancies in the House of Representatives.

Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, I · have already submitted my amendments numbered 9-2-59-C, which have been printed and are lying on the table. They have already been read. Unless there is a request by some other Senator, I shall not ask that they be read again.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that these amendments may be con .. sidered en bloc.

Mr. CASE of South Dakota. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, do all of the Senator's amendments pertain to the poll tax matter?

Mr. HOLLAND. They do. While I refer to · them as amendments, one of them simply puts in a number "1" for the present paragraph offered by the . Senator from Tennessee [Mr. KEFAUVER]; and another deletes certain quotation marks.

Mr. CASE of South Dakota. They all pertain to the same subject?

· Mr. HOLLAND. They all pertain to the same subject matter, and all basically make up one amendment.

Mr ~ CASE of south Dakota. I have no objection.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Florida? The Chair hears none; and, without objection, the amendments will be considered en bloc.

Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, my amendments would merely add to the proposal of the Senator from Tennessee [Mr. KEFAUVER] a second section which is identical to the language contained in Senate Joint Resolution 126 which I introduced on August 6, 1959, for myself and 60 other cosponsors. Since that joint resolution was introduced, 6 other Senators have joined as cosponsors, making a present total of 67. Among these cosponsors are Senators from both political parties and from every area of the Nation, including the majority leader [Mr. JoHNSON of Texas] and the majority Whip [Mr. MANSFIELD] as well as the minority leader [Mr. DIRKSEN] and the minority whip [Mr. KucHEL.]

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the names of all 67 cosponsors be printed at this point in my remarks. There being no objection, _ the names were ordered to ~e printed in the REC .. oRD, as follows: ·
