N.C., Thursday, December 11 174 Washington mm. -. f i Taiimff A : Loot Backward Report KvCONORKSSMAJV WALTER B.JONES This week the House overrode President Ford's veto of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Aci fit 1974 by the over whelming majority of.394 to 10. The debt which, this country owes the veterans of theV , armed services is beyond calculation. Legislation designed to meet the needs of the Vietnam veteran was long overdue. I am happy that the bill was enacted into law despite' President ford's attempt to kill the measure. pn, Wednesday, December 4, . I was temporarily released from Bethesda Naval Hospital for several hours in order to hold a meeting of the Oilseeds and Rice Subcommittee. The purpose of the meeting, as some of you probably know, was. to discuss a possible compromise in peanut legislation and thereby prevent Secretary But? from damaging the peanut program by issuing disastrous changes in the existing regulations. Although the Department of Agriculture and I he peanut growers were not able to reach a compromise, we did succeed in convincing Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Yeutter that the issuance 'of these' punitive regulations should be withheld for the immediate future. 4i V n- liKCOR ATIONS These Christmas tree ornaments were part of the crafts display at the Christmas open house held at the county office building.

Many new .faces have been seen on Capitol Hill during the past week. Following the Thanksgiving holidays, the 92. newly elected Members of Congress convened in Washington for their organizational meetings. In the past the House of Representatives has held its organizational meetings after convening. This change should be beneficial in that it will allow the. Members of ; Congress to lake care of their ad ministrative and housekeeping chores in advance. Having taken care of these matters, I am hopeful the 94th Congress will be able to get off to a much faster start than its predecessors. The country faces serious economic problems and the new U.S. Congress certainly does not need lo waste any time in working toward a solution. During my hospitalization I have received many get well wishes from my con stituency. I want to thank you for these kind gestures, and please be assured that vour thoughts are most appreciated. I am con 'inuing treatment for the , infection in my left leg at Bethesda Naval Hospital for an undetermined time. I lowever, I expect to be released before the Christmas holidays, and of course I will be on Capitol Mill for the opening session ol the 94th Congress.
