Jones Reports From Washington A _ a* 4Vk n niMAi r\4 ii ft nlpA *«*U T «Ar» PA»vtA4!tv\A «M ill Last week was one of the busiest of the 90th Con gress. We considered three im portant legislative bills. The first provided for the largest military appropria tion in the history of this Nation. The provision was for S7O billion and included a variety of projects and items ranging from nuclear ships to the Vietnam ef fort. Several amendments were offered to reduce cer tain items in the bill and through a voice vote, I supported these amend ments to provide for re ductions in what I con sider non-essential spend ing at this time. Most of these amendments were de feated. I am of the candid opin ion that oftentimes a great amount of waste is incur red in the name of de fense. In the final analy sis the bill that was pass ed was that which the commitee had presented. On a final roll call, only one no vote was cast and 1 that by a Congressman from California. The next bill considered by the House involved the silver reserve of our mone tary system. It has been said that there is an acute shortage of silver in the United States and this bill proposed to relieve this shortage for it provided for ’ the calling in of all Federal Silver Certificates within twelve months, and after that time the Treas ury would have the right Ik fitter J ", ". . >•. K S^r £•; 1 //\ V.y^'c to reduce the amount of silver reserve which backs the silver certificates. It might thus be stated that all silver certificates in existence twelve months from now would in the broadest sense, be worth only the paper on which they are printed. I voted against this bill for the reason that I felt it was debasing the American dollar, and further, I am not convinced that there is any acute shortage of sil ver and I base this upon the statements made from the Congressmen who rep resent the silver mining states. I think that it is important that this Govern ment preserve and protect the value of our currency system. The third bill which consumed two days of heated debate and strain ed feelings, was the rail road -0 WOO? PAGE ELEVEN sometime in the next nine ty days that which they have been unable to ac complish during the last six months- It is generally accepted that they are deadlocked in this dispute, and it is al most impossible for the two parties to find a so lution. I am certain that the serious question be fore the Congress last Thursday, June 15, will be back before the Congress on September 15. As was well stated on the Floor of the House, in all proba bility Congress failed to do on June 15 what it will have to do on September 15. Each day of the session for the past week saw the House working well into the evening hours.
