(Last week provided many
long sessions with the House
meeting each day at noon and
adjourning at about 9 P. M.
each evening. This was ne
cessary due to the large
volume of conference reports
to be considered as a result
of differences between House
and Senate versions of legis
lation.
Among these was the Oc
cupational Health and Safety
Act Hie House had previ
ously amended the bill to
provide for judicial proceed
ings which would give man
agement an opportunity to
defend itself against charges
of violations. The Senate
changed this to provide that
•the Secretary of Labor would
have the authority to virtual
ly close any factory or plant
in this country according to
standards which he alone
would determine. The House
concurred with the Senate
version, and on the confer
ence report vote, the North
Carolina delegation was split.

Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
Janos and Ruth, I voted no.
I could not in good Con
science agree to give the
Secretary of Labor or any
other department of govern
ment such broad powers.
Another bill that provok
ed much debate was one
amending the present Food
Stamp Act The two most
controversial parts of this
legislation were, one, the is
suance of food stamps to
strikers; and two, a provision
for states to participate in
the cost of the program. An
amendment was adopted by a
voice vote which would have
added a provision to prohibit
the use of stamps in the case
of strikes pr other voluntary
work stoppages. A few mo
ments later, on a roll call
concerning the same amend
ment, it was defeated, there
by permitting the use of food
stamps for strikers in the
future.
Another provision which
was objectional was one pro
viding for state financial par
ticipation. So, on final pas
sage and with the objectional
features contained in the bill,
Congressmen Fountain, Hen
derson, Lennon, Jonas and
Ruth and ii voted no.
A few months ago, the
Committee on Internal Secur
ity conducted hearings as to
subversive speakers end ac
tivities on college campuses.
At the conclusion of the hear
ings, a report was printed
lasting names, dates and other
information. A federal judge
in Washington, D. C., issued
an order prohibiting the com
mittee chairman, Congress
man Icord, from releasing

THE CHOWAN HERALD
this information. So, on
Monday a resolution was suc
cessfully introduced over
riding the court’s decision.
Those of us supporting the
resolution did so for the rea
son c< the constitutional sep
aration of powers between
the judicial and the legisla
tive branches. This court
decision was the first of its
nature in the history of this
country.
It was announced last week
that the 91st Congress will
recess on December 22, but
would reconvene on Monday,
December 28 and stay in ses
sion until January 2, 1971, at
which time the 91st Congress
would adjourn “sine die" with
the 92nd Congress convening
on January 21, 1971.

certainly, but still within
