Thursday, August 5. 1982 The Washington Report By Congressman Walter B. Jones Often during this year I have commented in this column about the lack of activity on the part of the U.S. House of Represen tatives. The week ending July 30 was a notable ex ception. The matter which took up most of the week was the indepth con sideration of the military authorization for fiscal year 1983. This authorization was by far the greatest in peacetime history, totally $175.3 billion. This is con sistent with President Reagan’s determination to provide all appropriation requests for the military. Space does not permit a breakdown of numerous items contained in this massive authorization. Sufficient to say, much debate and mixed emotions certered around the MX missile funds, the Trident submarines, and other controversial items. I am not minimizing the im portance, but it was rather unusual that the House spent a great deal of time debating the withholding of college loans to young men who fail to register on their 18th birthday in order that their names might be available in the event that the national draft is ever restored. The final action in this matter was that if one was receiving federal aid either directly or indirectly, then that male individual should comply with the laws of the land. On final passage the amendment providing for the above-mentioned action passed by an over whelming vote. Another highly charged emotional issue, particularly on the part of the women Members of Congress, was an amendment to provide that the divorced spouse of retired military personnel would have a right to share «n the retirement pay if so ordered by the State Courts. This legislation was necessary in that the Supreme Court a year or so ago ruled that military I w '. p v m N J p AW 1 L pontSaEmo 0 yTTziTK I Dreams do come truel The most innova tively BEST han dling front-wheel drive automobile is here * now!

I pensions were not subject to any sort of division in marital situations. This Act was designed to correct that in-equity. Considering the military authorization for 1983, which consumed some 44 hours, involved ap proximately 100 amend ments of varying im portance. Possibly one of the highlights of the week was the House consideration of the Senate’s almost SIOO billion tax bill, which had passed the United States Senate by a margin of only two votes. I believe the record will show that not a single Democratic Senator voted for this mammouth tax increase. I am sure by now most of you are aware that, among other things, it provided for a doubling of the federal tax on cigarettes from 8 cents to 16 cents per pack. Many feel that this will adversely affect the sale of cigarettes thereby producing less tax then is now being collected, and will in no way provide the revenue which has been projected. But evern more serious if this prediction is true, will be the possible reduction in demand and price from both the domestic and foreign companies. The House flatly refused to even consider the tax bill, and promptly sent it back to the Senate with implied orders to clean it up. The bill is presently in a Conference Committee of both House and Senate conferees, and it remains to be seen what will be the final results of not only the tobacco tax, but many other controversial items con tained in this Senate package. Another criticism on the House side of this legislation is the fact that it is a provision of our Con stitution that all revenue bills shall orginate in the House, but contrary to this, the Senate, whose rules are much more flexible, saw fit to add this major tax legislation to an innocuous House bill, and contend that it was germane. With mo6t of the ap propriation bills to be enacted, and with the election coming in November, I can only predict long sessions of both Houses between now and adjournment.

Fire Insurance, Lowest Rate While the cost of operating North Carolina’s public schools continued to climb last year, at least one budget item remained positive-fire insurance rates. Because of action taken more than 30 years ago, fire insurance rates for North Carolina’s schools are among the lowest in the nation. In 1949, the General Assembly authorized the State Board of Education to establish its own school building insurance fund. Because of the system which allows schools to buy insurance form the State Board of Education, fire insurance rates continue below those in other states. Insuring with the fund is optional. Last year, ac cording to statistics recently published by the Division of Insurance of the Con troller’s Office of the State Department of Public Education, 105 of the state’s 143 school units insured with the fund, as did 28 com munity colleges and technical institutes. Edenton-Chowan school has $7,276,200 insurance in force as of June 30,1981 with no fire and other losses for 1980-81. According to officials of the School Insurance Fund, the state’s self insurance program has not only saved money for participants, but has also resulted in lower rates charged public school systems by commercial insurance companies. Before the fund was established, many systems were inadequately insured.

A major portion of the fund’s budget goes to fire inspection services designed to minimize the risk of fire. As of June 30, 1981, there was more than $2.3-billion insurance in force, com pared to $2-billion the previous year and $42 million in 1950, the first year the fund was in operation. Joins Staff Greenville—Two new departmental chairpersons have joined the East Carolina University School of Home Economics. Dr. Jane K. Teleki, for merly a research associate at the Oklahoma State University Center for the Family, will head the Department of Child Development and Family Relations, and Dr. Vicki L. Berger, energy analyst for the Florida Public Service Commission since 1980, will chair two departments, the Department of Clothing and Textiles and the Depart ment of Housing and Management. Dr. Teleki replaces Dr. Jannis Shea, who was acting chairperson during the academic year 1981-82.
