CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
MASONIC
Fri. - Sat.
Congress reconvened on Sep
tember U after observing ap
proximately a two week Labor
Day recess. The general con
sensus 0/ the Members Is that
we will adjourn for the year on
or near the Thanksgiving week.
On the first day back In
session, several bills were
passed on the Consent Calendar,
which means that they were not
controversial, and one which I
think was of extreme Im
portance was a bill to pro
vide benefits for law enforce
ment officers killed or Injur^
while apprehending violators of
Federal law.
This will provide com
pensation to the survivors of an
officer If he should be killed
while In the line of duty and
would also provide state and
local police officers with some
measure of financial security
in recognition of the risks and
danger they assume In assisting
in the enforcement of the laws
of the United States.
This Is good legislation and
sorely needed at this time when
many ofour Police Departments
are severely understaffed.
I have previously reported to
you that quite often the House
will pass legislation which the
Senate later changes or amends.
It then becomes necessary for
the House to accept the Senate
version or vice versa.
We had previously passed the
Department of Defense Ap
propriation BiU which deleted
the authority to build 15 ships
in Great Britain.
The Senate restored this pro
vision, but on this occasion the
House refused to agree to the
Onnnfo vArr>l/\n onH *bof
these 15 ships bebulltin Ameri
can shipyards.
I mention this for in most
cases the House concurs with
the Senate action. Later In the
week the Senate adopted the
House version.

In the future of our tobacco
economy was the proposed
legislation of Senator Robert
Kennedy of New York to further
attack and weaken the overall
tobacco program.
Most of you are familiar
with the details of his pro
posal, but my reaction to this
Is, if the Senator Is so con
cerned with the health of the
people of this Nation, I suggest
he evaluate the harm and phys
ical damage done by the
product which has made both
he and his family so very
wealthy.
I refer, of course, to the
control of his forefathers of the
Scotch Whiskey business In this
Nation. I respectfully submit
that the excessive use of al
cohol has caused a thousand
time more deaths through phys
ical deterioration, tragic auto
mobile wrecks, than has the use
of cigarettes.
I have never heard of cigar
ettes causing the breakup of a
normal home or denying
children the necessities of life
which has happened all too often
from the use of alcoholic bever
ages. Yes, I would suggestthat
the Senator direct his concern
In other areas.
Late Thursday night, the
House passed several amend
ments to the existing Ap-
palachaln Regional Develop
ment Act of 1965. This legis
lation was a series of amend
ments and not the original bill.
Among other provisions of the
amendments, it provides that
the appropriation in the amount
of $900 million would go direct
ly to the President for the ulti
mate decision as to how the
money would be spent.
In the past, the allocations

partments, such as the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Labor,
etc. On a very close vote,
these amendments were adopt
ed.
Along with four other North
Carolina Congressmen, I voted
against these amendments for I
did not consider it equitable or
wholesome legislation.
The North Carolina Demo
cratic delegation is proud of
our colleague Congressman L.
H. Fountain of the Second Dis
trict, for being selected to serve
as a delegate to the United Na
tions for a period of three
months.
Congressman Fountain re
ceived this honor as a result
of his Committee membership
on the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. It is certainly one
of the highest honors that can
come to any Congressman.
