Many of you have expressed interest in why the recent Presidential Inauguration was held on Saturday, January 20. Prior to 1937 the offical date for Presidential Inaugurations was March 4.

C. 637-6516 amendment. No. 20, which was finally approved by the necessa^ number of states and ratified February 6,1933; thus, the first January 20 Inauguration took place in 1937 for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The reason for the change is that the earlier Inauguration date made the Congressional and Presidential terms coincide more closely together. Although the President is required to report to the Congress firom time to time on the "state of the Union,” his method of doing so is left to his discretion. Some of you have raised the question of President Nixon’s faUure to deliver his State of the Union message in person to the Congress; however, until President Woodrow Ylfilson, 11 State of the Union messages were sent to the Congress. President Wilson broke that precedent and used the delivery of the message as a public relations tool with the Congress. Thereafter, messages were personally delivei^; however, it is a matter of recwd that President Franklin Roosevelt exercised the written message on three occasions. Then in 1956, President Eisenhower did not deliver his message in person because of a heart attack.

General Assembly with the United States congress. The main difference is that the State Legislature considers the overall budget requests from the time it is presented until the final passage. Ihe Unitki States Congress first passes an authorization for a certain amouit of money and it is then considered by the Appropriations Committee and s(d>mitted to the House and later to the Senate, the weakness being that over a period of months, there no running account of the amounts having been appropriated. This to some degree has caused a con frontation between President Nixon and the Congress over the termination or impounding of certain appropriated funds, and in my (pinion, has also con tributed to the increase in the national dd)t. So, last week a Joint Study Committee on Budget Control of both the House and Senate submitted a tentative report on controls, the overall objective being to im prove Congressional control over budgetary outlays and receipt totals. The detail have not been ascertained as of this moment, and it will be some months before any final action is taken, but if a workable plan can be implemented which would give the Congress a constant accounting of the total appropriations as it relates to anticipated income, then this might well be the most im portant thing that the 93rd Congress will do this year, and will restore to the Congress a reassertion of power and authority, and more important, direct voice in the Nation’s priorities.
