Marsh Approves
Demonstration Curb
Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., expressed approval June 11 of House passage of a bill limiting demonstrations on federal property in the District of Columbia and requiring the posting of bond to protect the taxpayers against damage of public facilities when groups are permitted to assemble.
Marsh noted that the bill I adopted was similar to measures {he had introduced in this 'Congress and, last year, in the ' preceding Congress, at the time of the so-called “Resurrection City" I encampment.
“As I have stated in committee hearings on this legislation, there is no Congressional intent to J inhibit orderly meetings in the Nation's Capital -- the seat of government - for the purpose of exercising the Constitutional guarantees of free speech, assembly and petition,” Marsh said, “but the regular conduct of >the public business in this city
| demands that governmental 'processes be protected against interference by groups too numerous for the space occupied, or by vandalistic or otherwise unruly assemblies which prevent or restrict the goings and comings of the residents of the District of Columbia and the public officials engaged on their assigned duties.”
Marsh offered a statement on the floor in behalf of the bill passed by the House today. Tlie measure now goes to the Senate.
