THE GIFT
I gave you all my cherished dreams,
My dearest love 1 gave to you;
The castles i had ouilt in Spain—
With shini.ig towers agair.st the blue!
I gave my thoughts, my hopes, my
plans,
Mv luture years I gave to you;
And row I take them back—because
You intimated vou wished me to!

This Committee action seems likely
to upset the House-approved CIO-
