Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, November 3, 1907 Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES This is the season for Con ferees Reports resulting from the House passing its version of a bill or an appropriations measure and the Senate chang ing the bill or the amount of the appropriation. In order to adjust the dif ferences, a special committee consisting of Members from each body is appointed. After conferring, they report to the House membership and of course, to the Senate, and the question is then will the House or the Senate accept the Con ferees Report. If so, ^e legislation is ap proved. If either the Senate or the House fail to accept the conferees report, then further negotiations on the part of the conferees is necessary. The trend this session has been for the House to drastically reduce appropriations while the Senate has shown a tendancy to restore the reductions. An ex ample of this is the Ap propriations Bill which contains the rent subsidy item. The President had requested $40 million for this purpose and early in the year when this matter was considered by the House, we refused to Ex propriate any money for this purpose. But when this Appropriations Bill reached the Senate, they restored $10 million for the purpose of rent subsidy. Three times last week the House re fused to accept the Senate's $10 million proposal. At the same time the Senate conferees re fused to accept the House version. Finally, late Thursday on a close vote of 198 to 184, the House acceded to the Senate position. All North Carolina Democratic Members voted no regarding this item. In real ity, this is not a $10 million appropriation, but is $400 mil lion, for this will require on a contractual basis $10 million a year for 40 years. The legislation of most inter est to many peopie last week PHONE US FOR YOUR FUEL OIL Tommy Davis Oil Co. 707 Chattawka Lmm Dial 638-5100 was the bill to increase the basic pay for members of the Armed Services. What this bill contained was an approximate 4-1/2% pay increase effective October 1, 1967. Section 9 of this bill provided that ef fective January 1, 1968, andun- less otherwise provided by law enacted after &e date of en actment of this bill, that when ever the General Schedule of compensation for Federal classified employees is ad justed upwards, there shall im mediately be placed into ef fect a comparable upward ad justment in the monthly basic pay for authorized members of the uniformed services. The House Agriculture Com mittee approved a tobacco allot ment bill which co-sponsored which will permit the lessingof allotments up to five years and removed the five acre limitation with the only restriction being that no farm can have more than 50% of its total crop land in tobacco production. This was the only approach that was non-controverslal. With the emotional problems and the opposition to tobacco in general by certain Members of Congress, we felt that it would be unwise to offer any type of controversial tobacco legislation to the Floor of the House during this session. On the weekend of October 21, Washington, D. C., was treated to a sorry spectacle when the Vietnam protestors invaded the city. Regardless of how strong ly one feels about our involve ment in Vietnam, nothing justi fies the conduct of the so-called protesters. It has been estimated that the cost of removing their litter and debris and other expenses in coping with their presence far exceeded a million dollars. Some of the most obscene and indecent language was spoken and written on the public build ings belonging to the tax payers of this Nation. Freedom of speech Is an inherent right, one we must protect, but I continue to in sist that to exercise it also requires a degree of responsi bility based on decency and a respect of the rights of others. These two elements did not exist during the weekend of October 21. To those who abuse the right of protest and freedom of speech, it seems that we have no choice but to meet force with force if we are to obtain any degree of law and order.
