The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:20 a.m., in room 5110, New Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C., Hon. Warren G. Magnuson (chairman of the committee) presiding. The CHAIRMAN. The committee will come to order. There are several Senators on the way, but we have a long agenda today and a great number of nominations. Some of these people have been serving under recess appointments made when Congress was not in session. They were referred to us 2 and 3 weeks ago. We gave 2 weeks' notice under our rules so that today we can proceed with hearings on some of the nominees and take action on them. Several Senators are here who want to speak on behalf of nominees who may come from their various States. I am going to start with them. NOMINATION OF ASHTON C. BARRETT, OF MISSISSIPPI, TO BE A FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSIONER The distinguished senior Senator from Mississippi is here, and we will be glad to hear from him on the nomination of one of the members of the Maritime Board, Mr. Barrett. STATEMENT OF HON. JAMES OLIVER EASTLAND, U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI Senator EASTLAND. Mr. Chairman, I appear in behalf of Ashton C. Barrett, of Gulfport, Miss. I have known Mr. Barrett since 1922, when I was a freshman at the University of Mississippi and he was a senior. I have known him since then. Mr. Barrett has been highly successful in his every endeavor. He is a very successful businessman. He is one of the leading citizens of the State of Mississippi. He is a man of unimpeachable character, a man of unimpeachable integrity, and I think he should be approved. The CHAIRMAN. We appreciate your coming, Senator Eastland, to testify on behalf of Mr. Barrett. I understand we have a letter from you, and a letter from the junior Senator from Mississippi, and they will be put in the record. 1 (The letters referred to follow :) U.S. SENATE, COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY, January 18, 1962.

U.S. SENATE, COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, February 6, 1962. Senator WARREN G. MAGNUSON, Chairman, Senate Commerce Committee, DEAR SENATOR MAGNUSON: Mr. Ashton C. Barrett has been nominated as a member of the Federal Maritime Commission by the President, and I understand that your committee will take up the consideration of this nomination on Thursday, February 8. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to recommend Mr. Barrett for this important position. Mr. Barrett is a prominent and widely known Mississippi businessman. He was graduated from the University of Mississippi with the degree of bachelor of science and has demonstrated for many years, in varied business operations, his excellent qualities as an effective administrator. I strongly commend Mr. Barrett to your committee for approval of his nomination, and I believe his service as a member of the Maritime Commission will reflect honor and credit both to himself and to our Nation.
