...possible and it is not right," he" declared, "to neglect a people's hopes because the ocean is vast, or their culture is alien, or their language may be strange, or their race different, or their skin another color. The economic net work of this shrinking globe is too intertwined, the political order of continents is too involved with one another, the threat of common disaster is too real for all human beings to say of Asia-or any other continent-'Yours is another sphere...

Katzenbach contended without dispute that two-year terms force most Representatives to campaign year-round, to the neglect of their legislative duties. No one denied his argument that two years is hardly time enough to gain background for the deluge of bills-11,856 in 1965 alone-that demand a Representative's consideration...
