you look for styles and mate
rials that are durable, classic,
versatile, and which can be
worn comfortably throughout
most of the year. Here are a

_ jo Look for fabrics which
can be worn comfortably in ?
a variety of temperatures
Lightweight wools for exam1
pie, "breathe" ? evaporating
moisture from the skin ? are
durable and soil-resistant.
Wools such as worsteds and
gabardines are feather-soft
and unlined, which means
they can be w^rn almost all
year round.
? Spend thf^ biggest por
tion of your fashion dollar on
clothing made of durable nat
ural fibers in classic cuts.
Don't economize when it
comes to a basic black wobl,
linen or cotton skirt, which
can be worn for years.
? A few dollars spent on
an accessory that can take a
garment from spring to fall is
certainly a good investment
Switch from open toed shoes
to closed pumps and a silk
scarf and that lightweight
wool dress you wore in spring
will have a great seasonal
look.

Message To Congress:
Pass Balanced Budget Amendment
Congress recently proposed to raise the debt limit again -
this time to $1.7 trillion. There is talk around Washington
that it will have to be raised to $2 trillion by 1989.
You don't have to think back very far to remember when
the debt was "only" a trillion dollars. (That was in 1981.)
1 was looking through some old news clippings recently
and found that in 1979, the talk was whether there would be
a S14 billion budget surplus or a S30 billion deficit! That
same year, the Congressional Budget Office was warning of a
$60 billion deficit.
My mail contains a constant stream of letters from NFIB
members worried about deficits and the resulting high inter
est and complaining about the irresponsible spending habits
of the Congress. Small-business owners want to know when
common sense will force senators and representatives to face
fiscal reality: You can't go on spending what you don't have.
One way to bring some discipline to the process is through
a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal
budget. A bipartisan group in the House of Representatives
is trying to force a vote on such an amendment before the
98th Congress adjourns. It requires that the budget be bal
anced except in times of emergency. The only other way the
budget would be permitted to be in the red would be by vote
of three-fifths of the members of each House of Congress,
plus a presidential signature. The amendment imposes limits
on both spending and taxation.
The problem is that the measure is bottled up in the
House Judiciary Committee, and it seems the House leader
ship doesn't want it to go to the floor for a vote. But 167
House members have signed a discharge petition, which would
free the amendment from the Judiciary Committee and bring
it to the full House of Representatives for a vote. Fifty-one
more signatures are needed - and time is running out.
(During the 97th Congress, the Senate passed a con
stitutional amendment to balance the budget, but the amend
ment died due to lack of House action. The Senate Judiciary
Committee has not reported an amendment in the 98th Con
gress but would probably do so if the House appeared willing
to take action.)
When Congress returns from the August recess, it will
probably be in session for another six weeks. Right now,
many members are in their districts compaigning for re-elec
tion It's a safe bet that small-business owners who want a
balanced federal budget will be seeking out their representa
ti\es to make sure they have signed the discharge petition.
There is one other avenue: a constitutional convention.
Thirty-four states must pass resolutions calling for such a
convention. Thirty-two have already done so. Two more,
California and Montana, may come through before the end
of 1984.
Many members of Congress don't want a constitutional
convention. They can avoid one if they listen to their con
stituents and pass the balanced budget amendment in Sep
tember.
John Sloan is President of the National Federation of
Independent Business, representing more than half a mil
lion small-business men and women.

WORD FROM WASHINGTON
PRESIDENT'S COST CONTROL COMMISSION
FINDS WAY TO SAVE $424 BILLION
The federal government can
save $-424.4 billion over three
years without raising taxes,
without weakening America's
needed defense build up and
without in any way harming
necessary social welfare pro
grams, according to J. Peter
Grace, who heads the Presi
dent's Private Sector Survey
on Cost Control.
Grace presented a report of
the commission's 2.47M cost
cutting, revenue-enhancing
recommendations to Presi
dent Reagan at the White
House.
"Because we are starting
from a deficit of $195 billion,"
Mr. Grace declares, "every
dollar we can stop spending
is a dollar that the govern
ment does not have to bor
row."
System failures ($151.:{ bil
lion! and personnel mis
management ($90.9 billion)
together comprise well over
one-half of the total savings
possibilities, the report de
clares. "They are at the foun
diction of ineffic iencies in the
Federal Government. Pro
gram waste ($160.9 billion),
which accounts for .17.9 per
cent of the savings recom
mendations would also he
substantially eliminated if
proper systems and person
nel management were in
place." says Grace, chairman
and chief executive officer of
W.K. Grace & Co.
"This underscores one of
our most important recom
mendations. which is the es
tablishment of an Office of
Federal Management in the
Kxecutive Office of the Presi
dent." he adds.
Among the Commission's
findings: One third of all in
ctppe taxes is consumed by
waste and inefficiency: one
third is not collected due to
the underground economy;
and UK) percent of all income
taxes are ahsorlied by inter
est plus government contri
hutions to transfer payments.
Civil Service and Military
Retirement Systems provide
to participartts three times
and six times the benefits,
respectively of the l>est pri
vate sector plans.
Many people concerned a
