on our democratic fabric. The notion these mob outfits
with dominating unions can have a government of their
own operating by their own laws, their own rules and
seemingly untouchable by the agencies of the Government
is simply something that I cannot abide.
I do want to pledge that the Commission will
work even harder on these issues through more investi­
gations, to some extent more hearings, but most impor­
tantly through our recommendations for legislative and
administrative changes to the President and to the
Congress. We are going to work just as hard as we
possibly can to make sure there is the sort of
sustained and continued and intelligent effort repre­
sented by people like Mr. Goldstock, Mr. Stewart, the
agent that testified here today, to make sure that this
thing is intensified and continues. And we are optim­
istic that while we will never eliminate every instance
of criminality and racketeering from the labor movement,
that these egregioUS problems can indeed be eliminated
by sustained attack.
I do want, in closing, to thank very particu­
cularly the entire staff, particularly Attorneys Steve
Ryan and Tom McNulty, Investigators KarsH Hainer,
Dave Williams, Brian Hitt, Hugo Menendez, Jack Walsh
