Washington Report
By Congressman
JAMES 1. BROYHILL
In a signi'iicant action hast
week, the House passed legisla
tion to establish a national cru
sade to conquer cancer.
in pre.-ous ncvv'iieiitrs, I have
t'^e s'»rvi')us need lor a
bill that would commit additional
Federal resourses to finding a
House of Representatives, in re-
i ui e lor UiiS uioau c.r.sccioe. i.ie
spense to strong public dcmnnd,
passed a hill that would set a hi d-
get of $1.5 billion over a three-
year period for this purpose and
would a"'f"ler'*te the ejdstingpro-
gram under the National Insti
tutes of Health. The bill would
retain the present N 't onal Can-
rer Ins' tntes within NTH, rather
than establish it as a separate a-
» ency, as had been provided in
Die Sens'te version of this bill.
Special notice w3S taken cf the
need to coordinate the diverse re
search programs that are curont-
ly bt^lng undertaken in the cancer
field. The National InsMtute of
•’’e'lri h^.s a woridAvide reputa
tion as a leader in biomedical re
search, and leading scientist in
» 'o ^'ancer f'e’d recommended
during committee hearing on thi.s
bill that the national cancer cru-
siade he retained within NIII.
The prccedi re of making
grants to lo-cal concer research
facilities would be expedited. It is
estimated that this accelerated
procedure would affect apnroi-
■mately 40 percent cf .all grant ap-
plicalions and m'^Ve possoble
their speedier approval.
Cancer controls programs
would receive a three-year budget
of $90 million. These programs on
the State locals levels would ena
ble a comprehensive testing pro
gram for early cancer detection,
the training ''f additional cancer
s^'ceia’ists. and the gathering of
cancer t-. *-ottrT
the medical soientifi'c community
of the pro rcss being made in
this vital area.
I have aci'ively supported this
iegisiat on both in the interstate
and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee, of which I am a member, and
cn the House floor. Faced with
the roali7ation that 20 percent of
our pf)^uIation may one day be
confionted wdth this disease, It is
time that the Congress make a
strong national commitment to
pr '* ‘p inmeased funds toward
finding a cure.
The Senate has also passed a
can.’er research bill which differs
in severel respe ts f~nm the
iM t se ver.elrn. These differences
are pre.sently being w'^rked out
an a oonferen^e committee, and it
is m.y ho"? th''t final action can
occur in the near future.
VETFRAN^S BFNtFTT^
I ast week, the ITouso of Repre
sentatives also rassed two bi'ls
lf> improve several programs of
the Veterans Administration
w'hich assist veterans and their
families. The first measure would
provide a cost-of living increase
in mnservice-ccnnc^ted disability
pension rates payable to approxi
mately 1.6 million veterans and
their widows. It would also pre
vent those receiving from loss or
reduQlion in pension as a result
of the increase in Social Security .
benefits which became effective '
on January 1, 1871. The c'xA-of-1
living increase, computeu from i
the last effective date of a pen
sion increase, would average 6 j
percent for veterans and widows, j
The pension program is a long-1
standing Federal program which |
provides monthly payments • to |
needy veterans who are disabled
and who have served in the armed
forces dj^rlng a war-time period.
In addition, it provides payments
to widows and dependent child
ren of such veterans after their
deaths. All payments are based u-
pon the fiinancial need of the vet
eran and his family. I have al
ways supported this worthwhile
program which has assisted so
many of our nation’s veterans.
j The second bill to extend vet
erans' benefits would provide a
cost-of-living increase in pay
ments to survivors of veterans
who died as a result of service-
incurred disabilities. Under this
measure, approximately 176,090
widows would receive a 10 per
cent increase and 43,000 children
would receive a 5 percent i
crease. The amounls of thes<
increases are computed form th(
last statjetory increr.se — Dec
ember 1, 1969 for widow's and Ju
ly 1, 1970 for children. In addit
ion, an average increase .f 6 Va
percent is provided for payments
to dependent parents. Approxi
■ mately &A,f>00 dependent parents
‘ of deceased veterans now receive
compensation under this program.
I
j iBoth bills now go to the Sen-
! ate for action and it is hoped
that final passage will occur be-
'strongly that final action on
fore the end of the year. I feel
these measures, which are so im-
poi'ant to the naetion’s veterans,
I should not be delayed.

WERE THE GOOD OLD
DAYS REALLY GOOD?
Ncstalgia seems to be the rage these days.
There is a great deal cf public sentiment for a
xcturn to cld values, morals and ethics. In many
ways this would certainly be good but in the
context of gesd health the golden age is right
now.
Man's progress in fighting di^dse and ill-
nsss has achieved spectacular results in recent
year. Most of the medicines that your dorter
is prescribing for; you were not even known just
o lew short yeors ogo. And. everyday we are
receiving new drugs that have been approved
for public use.
YOU OR YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US
when you need o delivery. We will deliver
promptly without extra charge. A great mony
people rely on us for their health needs. We
welcome requests for delivery service ond
charge accounts.
