How do you do, ladies and gentlemen? Well, here we are about halfway through the first section of the 86 content. We've accomplished a good many things, but of course there's much remaining to be done. The male has not eased up in any fashion. Whatever people are writing in every day, wanting help and information.

00:00:23.370 - 00:00:39.760

But particularly some of the questions are getting rather difficult. Here's a letter from the lady over Plant City, Florida and she says, What's going to happen to the Labour bill, which the Senate just recently passed? Are you people going to dodge your responsibility and not pass a labor bill?

00:00:40.740 - 00:01:06.960

Well, first, I would answer that good lady by saying, in the Senate, we passed the labor bill. It was not all that I would have wanted. My judgment. It did not. It was not strong enough. With respect to secondary boycott, I put an amendment to that labour bill, would stop the use of the hot cargo provisions on the part of the Teamsters in which I think definitely limited their blackmail activity.

00:01:07.440 - 00:01:27.430

However, it was not applied to any other type of labour organizations except the Teamsters. I do hope that when the House considers this legislation, but then not only will keep that hot cargo provisions in the law, which I put in the Senate bill, but they will go further and strengthen.

00:01:27.680 - 00:01:49.460

I think the time has come not only to clean up labor unions in so far as their own organizations are concerned. And of course, it does not involve. We don't need this for all labor unions, but for some of them, we do. But more important, I think that we should begin to protect the innocent public from the excesses of some labor organization.

00:01:50.240 - 00:02:06.950

I think we'll pass a bill. Here's another letter from a good friend of ours over at Panama City, and he mentioned the fact that I see you're trying to pass a law to help self employed people. I'm working for myself as a real estate agent. Will the law help me?

00:02:07.840 - 00:02:34.640

The answer to his question will be absolutely. It will help you a great deal. You will remember that back in 1940 to the Congress passed a law which provided that where approved pension plan had were brought into being between an employer and an employee, that the employee could set aside certain money, which he could use when he got to be 65 years old.

00:02:34.640 - 00:02:54.570

It was sort of a supplement to the Social Security program. However, there was no law. There's never been alone. The books, which allows a self employed person, a real estate agent, a lawyer, a doctor that matter of farmer or fisherman or the head of a small, dry cleaning establishment.

00:02:54.570 - 00:03:20.570

Those people are not able to put aside any money for the time when they get old. So what my law would do would be to allow those people to set aside a certain part of their yearly income so that when they get to be 65 years old, they can then draw that income and live off this retirement program of their own what we would permit.

00:03:20.680 - 00:03:40.550

But the money which they put into the retirement fund would be considered not taxable. They would be able to avoid the tax is to that extent on the money which they put up. However, when they began to emit some 20 years later, they naturally then would have to pay a tax on it.

00:03:41.040 - 00:04:04.660

There's some 10 million people in the United States today who have no means of setting up for themselves a retirement program in this particular provision. Originally, the principle of it was called the Keyhole Simpson bill. But I have now adopted it in the Senate and change the plans a little bit, and I think the chances of its passage you're much improved.

00:04:05.240 - 00:04:25.010

I think that it will do a great deal to see that people who are self employed when they get old, they will have something to look after themselves in their golden years. Well, here's another letter from a lady down at Miami Beach who says, What about this police force of yours?

00:04:25.010 - 00:04:52.760

Only create another army. Well, you will remember that I've been advocating for all the Western Hemisphere a sort of police force. The reason that this will be a good idea is well, not only will it not create more armies, but by having this one professional army, it will mean that all the smaller countries in Central and South America will no longer have to put a lot of money into their specific budgets in order to have a big police force for themselves.

00:04:53.140 - 00:05:00.460

Well, I see my time is up. Thank you very much for looking in and listening in. I hope you look in again at the same time next week.
