A Congressman's Tips
On Good Letter Writing
I I i : : : :??
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON?If you feel the
urge to write to your congressman,
make your letter brief. Confine
yourself to one .subject. Write legi
bly.
Letters which follow these rules
are the ones that get the most at
tention, according to Democratic
ltep. Edgar VV". Ileistand of Cali
fornia. who gives some handy tips
on Writing to congress in "Roll
Call," the newspaper of Capitol
llill.
"Letters that run for four or five
pages aren't apt to be read thor
oughly." the congressman says.
"We received one that rambled on i
for eight pages, covering every
subject from the Bible to the hy
drogen bomb At the end the writ
er added a P.S.: 'Please disregard
what I've said in this letter. After
re-reading it i've changed my mind
about certain points, but after writ- j
Ing it I didn't want to throw it
away'."
But. the congressman hastens to
add: "This doe: n't mean you should
write as briefly as the unsigned
writer who sent in only two words
on the hack of a postcard; 'Drop
dead'."
Hep. Iliestand says one of the
joys of a congressman is his daily
mail.
"With it lie takes the daily pulse
of his district," he explains. "From
it he learns what his neighbors 1
want?and why. Mail guides but
riot always determines a congress
man's vote on the close issues. A
congressman's job is to speak FOR 1
the district, and when the people '
speak strongly he does not ignore j
their voice."
Operating one of the busiest post
offices in the nation, the House I
Office Building receives five mail
deliveries a day. There are less
frequent deliveries on Sundays and
holidays, too
Someone figured out. Hep Hie- j
stand says, that the average con- >
gressman gels about 545 pieces of
mail a day, an increase of almost
10 per cent from a ysr ago.
"Most of the i*iters are compli- i
mentary," he says. "Practically all
of them are respectful, even though
the writers may disagree violent
ly with the opinions expressed
publicly by the congressman. This
would indicate to me a public con
fidence in the representative sys
tem of government despite the
varying personal opinions held by
the constituents of their individual
congressmen."
Another bit of advice; "People I
should, whenever possible, print
their names and addresses so that i
the letters may be answered. It
isn't necessary to type. Abuse j
doesn't pay. The old axiom still s
holds that you can catch more flics
willi honey than vinegar. And if
you want attention, don't write
anonymously."
