Knowland Airs
Disability Plan
WASHINGTON W Sen. Know
land (R-Calif) . called today for
congressional representation on
any commission set up to deter
mine presidential disability de
spite Atty. Gen. Rogers' state
ment he would urge a veto for
such a bill.
Moreover, the Senate Republi
can leader said he believes such
a commission can be established
immediately by passage of a law,
without waiting for a constitution
al amendment.
"I would have no objection to
Congress' acting both on a bill and
a constitutional amendment, but
I think the commission ought to
be set up by action in this session
and not be delayed by the necessi
ty of ratifying constitutional
amendment, Knowland said in
an interview.
The Constitution provides that
when a president is disabled, his
duties shall fall to the vice presi
dent. But it does not specify who
shall decide that., the President Is
disabled.
