Spaniard Holland, likewise a former Govenmr. is resent.
If you desire to say anything. Senator, we tn'll )e delighted to hear
from you before we get to the nominee.
STATEMENT OF HON. SPESARD L. HOLLAND. A 11.8. SENATOR
nor '1'!!! STATE 0! FLORIDA
Senator HOLLAND- Thank you, Mr. Chairman. and members of the
committee. .\lay I say that what I should say will be not only for
myself hut for my distinguished colleague, Senator Smathen. '0
both sl-ltttt 'ly and without reservation of any kind support for con-
lirtnation t to nomination of (luv. Farris Bryant for this important
position which we View as important to the countrys security and
to the. service of the country and in to he by no means regarde as
primarily a political ammintmcnt.
Since the ammintee. if continued. will serve on the National Security
Council and administer disaster relief programs and will handle
plannin' for all kinds of emergencies which may hos-ct our Nation.
and ail also he the liniwn man hetween the 'hite llnuxo and all
of the Governors of all of the Staten. we think that Governor Bryant .
the innnedinte ast- Governor of our State. and as such rwogniml
by both the houthem Governtmt' (bolercnce and the National
Governora Conference for his hi vh datum. is a very fine choice indeed.
He. was. of course, chairman o the Southern Governors Conference.
and in the National Governors' (kinference has nerved on the special
committee. He was vice chairman of the committee whioh deals
with the Ofce of Emergency Planning in ita relation to civl defense
and idea for planning against. all type-t of emergencies which might.
hmot our Nation.
In other words. hia fainiliaritv i~ recent and very great with some of
the pmhlctna with which he will be confmnted.
1 will conne mv statement to a very brief one and rst ask that
there be inserted in the record a written tatement from my (lisllll.
gniahed mileagne who would have liked to have been here. but is
prevented by mattere beyond his toltmtl.
Chairman Rtaalztt. It will he laced in the record.
Senator autumn. For myself. Ir. (.hairtnan, I have ltnne n Farris
Bryant for a great. mam; years. knew him as an uud mandate of the
University of Florida where he ha i wood to helm to t. to same millage
fraternity that l belonged to a l need to weliim on homecoming
(mutations and the like. Incidentally. he represented in the legislature.
where l elm aerved. although mtttewhnt later than my service. hie mm
native county of Marion for some. ears and I think achieved more
magnier: by way of being named or distinguished service. both by
his colleagues and by the members of the press, than any other
member of the legislation within my observation.
He served as Governor of our State. as I have already mentioned.
and made a line Governor. He is a line family man, a churchman; his
wife Julia would he, I think. a distinct addition to the female contin-
gent here at the Capital. as will their three lovely daughtens. and there
is nothing that I could say that I would not gladly say to this conunittee.
I note. however, that the biographical statement which has been
tiled with the committee pretty generally covers the things which I
8 NOXUNATIONS OF CHARLES F. BAIRD AND FARRIS BRYANT
could say, I jinn. went to make it. clear I think this choice is. an excellent
one from the stand oint of the good service of the Nation, the best
possible service of t e Nation by the Office of Emergency Planning.
I would not make that statement. if I did not. feel it to he so because
this is on oce which can he of great service to our Nation.
I have already said it is an ofce which I think involves vastly
more Completely nonpartisan, nonpolitieal service than otherwise.
So, my colleague and I join in recommending in the fullest way
arable, withmlt meervntion of any sort, this nominee for the oon~
notion of this at; committee and of the Senate. because we know
he will serve wit: credit. and distinction in performing the duties of
the Ollice of Emergency Planning.
Chairman Rosanne. Thank you, Senator.
I notice thnt. vou and Governor Bryant have another thing in
common, you hath have attended at one time or another a great
educational institution in my State.
Senator Hotnaun. Yes, he began his academic training in Emory.
nished to Florida. I preferred to finish mine at Emory, and I am
happy to continue that. relationship with Emory. Emory claims a
part interest in Farris Bryant.

STATEMENT OF HON. GEORGE A. SKATHBRS, A 11.8. SENATOR
FBOH THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Mr. Chairman, It. is indeed a very great pleasure for me to support the nomi-
nation of to good friend from Florida, Farris Bryant, to direct the Ollie-o oi
Emerge-no binning.
Farris rymt enrved an Florida's 34th Govemor, from 1901 to 1966, after long
and die unlth service in the State legislature of Florida.
As eliie executive of the State of Florida, Governor Bryant dmnonstrsted his
excellent. capabilities my an administrator, having for some years earlier demon-
at-ratod his talent as n legislator.
The tradition of public service is a. long one in the Bryant inmilv. An uncle
of the Governor. Ion Farris, twice served as upenlter of the Home at" Represente-
tives of Florida.
Governor Bryant. a native of Marion Conntv, like, rst ran for the legislature
in 1942. He won a sent in the State house 01" repreaentntlves but did not. serve
in that. legislature.
Instr-ad, he resigned and entered the 11.8. Navyserving three and 3- hell
years ms 3 gunnery olcer in n. number of combat areas, including the North
Atlnntie. Mediterranean, and the Pacic.
Returnlt home, Governor Bryant. resumed his puhllo career and in IMO was
elected to i. no rst of ve succeesiva heme; in the house. Each of them wee won
without 0 position.
In 195., he was chosen speaker of the Florida House of ltcpresentntivns.
During Governor Bryant's house service, he was honored [our limos we the
"most valuable member of the house," In 1955. fellow momlwn; of both houses
voted him the "roost valuable member of the legislature." He also was cited by
newspapers as the roost valuable house member" in 1949, 19.31, and 1953.
During those years in the legislative branch of State government, Governor
Bryant developed strong leadm'ship on euch issuer. as conetitutlounl revision.
im oved location, and strong law enforcement.
lenv of thine programs he carried iorwnrd us Governor. including the expatmion
of the Erato university systemwith two new State colleges, the authorization
of a third, and an increase at the junior college network to a. total of 36 community
2-year institutions.
Mr. Clmirumn. Governor Bryant. served his State as chief executive through
times of natural disaster and has learned rsthand the many problems State
otllclnle must [nee in the wake of natures ravages.
This ox1wrlente will stand him in good stand in e'ectlvely administering Federal
disaster mistauee allocations.

STATEMENT OF FARRIS BRYANT. NOIUNEE TO BE DIRECTOR OF
THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY PLANNING
Mr. BRYANT. Thank you, Mr. (.lmirnmn.
l he Senator from Florida, has been so genemns in his remarks that
I think it. Would not he becoming for me to tell the truth because it
can only detract from what he has had to my. [Laughter].
Truly in Florida. one. of my chief claims to fame is the hch I have
tried to follow in the h'mtsteps of Senator Holland in the legirlutnre,
in the grwermwship, and I treasure his friendship us well on than. of
the junior Senator.
I accept. from the President the nomination with n di-m'not. sense of
mm and responsibility that he has nsked me to ant-mine it, and nit-h n
detorm'nmtion to do the host. 1 con to dixnhnrge it, if this mmmitloc
and the Senate should see lit. to Confirm the nomination. l am not
versed in low great way in the tncchamirs or the details of the agency.
I have fornilinrized mvwlf in a gonorul way with the stutnton re-
sponsihilitins and with those set. lorth in the Executive order which
is the charter of this ptnsition.
I believe that I can by npplimtion and the ne stuff that seems to
have been assembled, discharge the rmpmuibilitirs that the President
has asked mo to assume. I Would be glad to answer any quoion
that. any member of the oonmlitmee hm to the heat. of my ability.
Senator HOLLAND. Mr. Chairman, I don't know whether it. was
characteristic modesty or overnight but whoever prepared the bio-
m'nphir-al dam of the Governor left. out one of his principal achieve-
ments. his being chairman of the. Smdhern Governors ("onlnronra I
am sure it. should he called to the attention of the committee.
