THE CHOWAN HERALD
Washington Report - The Budget Act
•to! By Congressman
!,na Walter B. Jones
Once again the Congress
failed to act on most of the
appropriation bills, all of
which should have been
passed prior to October 1,
1982, which is the beginning
of the new fiscal year. With
no attempt to place
responsibility for this
failure, it is my opinion that
there is no excuse for fin
ding ourselves in this
condition, thereby
necessitating what is known
as a Continuing Resolution
to keep the government
functioning. This means all
Departments will be funded
at last year’s level until such
time as new appropriation
bills can be approved. So, in
an attempt for the Congress
to recess until the latter part
of November, we were
forced to resort to this
process once again. Cer
tainly, to say the least, it is a
most unsatisfactory way to
legislate with the taxpayers’
dollars; but there was no
choice but to enact a sub
stitute or Continuing
Resolution before the close
of business on September 30.
But due to the mechanics of
the legislative process, we
were forced to consider this
actually on Friday, October
1.
I believe some of the delay
in the appropriation process
has been due to the ten -
year old, so - called Budget
Act which must be enacted
first; the Appropriations
Committee are then
governed by this budget
legislation. The Budget Act
was enacted to control
spending and reduce the
federal deficit It is now
predicted, however, that
under this Administration
there will be at least a $155
billion deficit in fiscal ’B3,
which is a far cry from a
balanced budget, and in
fact, is the largest deficit
during peacetime in history.
During the week, as
Chairman of the Committee
on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, I was successful
in getting the House to
approve a revenue sharing
bill to divert back to the
coastal states some S3OO
million per year. This
money is not to come out of
the U.S. Treasury, but is to
be diverted from the
revenues secured from the
oil leases which will incur as
a result of bidding on off
shore leases let by the
Department of Interior.
Secreatary of Interior
Watts, estimates that in
fiscal ’B3, this should, ac
cording to his figures,
produce some sl2 billion in
revenues. Therefore, my
argument was that the
States should be entitled to
some assistance in main
taining coastal resources
programs and other
developments concernig the
30 states which have
coastlines. The bill now has
gone to the Senate, and
hopefully during the lame
duck session in November,
they will see fit to pass the
legislation. This bill was
adamantly opposed by
President Reagan and his
Administration, but not
withstanding, it was
sustained by a vote of 280 to
134.
Having been in public life
for many years, I have
become almost insensitive
to the criticism of the news
media. But on the Wed
nesday, September 29
broadcast of the CBS
evening news with Dan
Rather, I could not help but
feel that columnist Bill
Moyers went a little too far
in describing a maritime bill
which I had successfully
gotten through the House
under what is known as
Suspension of the Rules a
week or so ago. He was very
critical of the manner in
which it was enacted. Ap
parently what Mr. Moyers
did not know was that the
entire Administraion,
President Reagan,
Secretary Drew Lewis, as
well as every segment of the
maritime industry including
shippers, ship owners,
shipbuilders, ship
operators, maritime unions
and others, were supporting
this legislation. This was not
a hurried up gesture
because the idea for this bill
had been around Congress
approximately for four
years; even two years ago
the then Chairman of the
Merchant Marine Com
mittee, Congressman John
Murphy of New York, at
tempted to get this
legislation through, but was
unable to do so. Therefore,
this bill was a compromise
worked out to the
satisfaction of all who were
affected. Also Mr. Moyers
in his critical editorial was
not fair enough to announce
the final roll call vote fey the
House which approved this
legislation. To set the record
straight, the vote was 350
yeas to only 30 naytf, or a
margin of 10 td l. Certainly
if there had been anything
detrimental about the bill, I
don’t believe 350 Members
of Congress could have
been fooled. In substances,
what the bill does is upgrade
the maritime laws to cope
with modern conditions and
circumstances. It had been
some 66 years since major
legislation has been con
sidered.

last of the Bonnie and Clyde

hopes all citizens concerned
about the problem of rising
crime will attend the free
screening of the film.
