T h e, 12-m a n commission which spent a year and a half studying the nation's security programs, made its proposals in a report released June 23. Despite his plea for prompt congressional action, the com mittee is not expected to even finish hearings on the broad- scale proposal before adjourn ment. Wright told the committee the current security program for government employees has been "hanging in doubt since a Su preme Court decision last year that it does not apply to work ers in "non-sensitive" jobs. Describing the present setup, Wright said: "Since 1947 there has evolved a vast, intricate, confusing and costly complex of temporary, in adequate, uncoordinated, pro grams and measures designed to protect the nation against the agents of Soviet imperialism."
