STATEMENT OF MISS LAURA HARRIS, DAUGHTER OF SENATOR AND 

 MRS. FRED HARRIS OF OKLAHOMA 



Miss Harris. Mr. Chairman, I am here today to represent the 

 children of the United States. 



A lot of my friends and I are worried that when we grow up and have 

 children of our own, there will not be any more sea mammals for us 

 to see. 



We think that people should quit killing sea mammals. 



We hope you will stop this killing. 



As a Comanche Indian I would not like to put the Aleuts out of 

 business, but people do not need sealskin coats. They can use other 

 materials and I hope you will help the Aleuts get started in other 

 jobs. 



Mr. Chairman, I have a list of names of people in my neighborhood 

 and class who feel the same way I do about saving the seals and other 

 sea mammals. 



Mr. DiNGELL. Young lady, we are grateful for you to be with us. 

 Thank you for your very helpful statement. 



Let me ask how old you are. 



Miss Harris. Ten. 



Mr. DiNGELL. You have done a fine job. 



Miss Herrington. Thank you, Laura. 



I will then ask Dr. Greenberg, a very noted psychologist, to make a 

 few comments. 



Mr. DiNGELL. Dr. Greenberg, you are recognized. 



STATEMENT OF DR. HERBERT GREENBERG, PRESIDENT OF MAR- 

 KETING SURVEY AND RESEARCH CORP. 



Dr. Greenberg. I appreciate it and I would like to have my wife 

 with me and perhaps respond with me. She has stuck with me in mar- 

 riage and our work for the past few years. 



Mr. DiNGELL. Would you give your full address? 



Dr. Greenberg. Yes, by way of identification, I am Dr. Herbert 

 Greenberg, president of Marketing Survey and Research Corp. in 

 Princeton, N.J. 



We are at least, sometimes we think only theoretically in the profit- 

 making business, so that I am not here to attack the profit motive or 

 put it down, but what we do, we have been in the business of doing 

 for 14 years, the studying of human personalities and applying our 

 studies to human effectiveness, placing people in the right jobs and 

 trying to understand what makes them tick and how to use it, to tap 

 the great human resource that unfortunately is still very untapped in 

 the world today. 



The reason Miss Herrington asked us to speak to this committee is 

 not really to talk about in a funny way the seals or the whales or 

 other mammals because I think the morality and the horror involved 

 in the killing of these animals has been very amply stated earlier this 

 morning. I think it would be only redundant for us to repeat it. 



What I would like to comment on for just a couple of minutes is 

 the impact that all this has on the human being because this is our 

 work.
