Achievement
Is Lacking
In Congress
WASHINGTON , - After \
three weeki, the 90th Congress 1
has little to show In the way of
accomplishment, and the pros
pects are that the next few
weeks won't show much im
provement.
The slow start, with many
committees still not organized,
is not unusual. Even the busy
89th Congress was slow in get
ting off the ground two years
ago although within a month
hearings were started on one
major bill—aid to education.
But there W little an the leg
islative horizon in either House
or Senate before Congress takes
its annual Easter recess late in
March. The House may recess
for 10 days to two weeks.
Only two items of major im
portance appear headed for ear
ly action: the administration's
proposal to increase the nation
al debt limit, on which House
hearings start this week, and a
supplemental appropriation bill
of more than )9 billion for the
Vietnam war.
The debt limit will probably
pass both House and Senate be
fore Easter, but the appropria
tion measure may take longer,
'even though the House likely
will act in mid-March,
j Only one of President John
! son's special legislative mes
sages has reached Capitol Hill,
! a complex program for older
Americans, including Social Se
curity increases, revised re
quirements for state welfare
programs and tax reform for
the elderly.
The House Ways and Means
Committee plans to start hear
ings about Feb. IS, but the proc
ess of writing the legislation is
expected to take several weeks
at the least. Consideration in the
House itself will therefore prob
ably not come until after East
er.
The Senate is considering a
complicated proposal for
congressional reorganization,
including revised rules for com-
Imittees, increased staffing and
use of computers to study the
budget. A flock of amendments,
covering everything from the
seniority system to the possibili
ty of microphones for the Sen
ate, is slowing things down.
Even if the Senate passes the
proposal, action by the House is
a long way off. The equestion
hasn't been studied by a House
committee since the proposals
were made last year by a joint
congressional reorganization
committee.
The Senate may act also on a
resolution calling on President
Johnson to reduce troop
strength in Europe. And the
long-pending consular treaty
Soviet Union remains
-.on the calendar. ■»«.
Chairman
D-Tex., of the House Appropria
tions Committee said during
debate last week on Johnson's
budget that he hopes all money
bills can be passed by the House
by July 1 and that Congress
may be able to adjourn before
Aug. 1.
