Friday, September 3, 1971 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page.Three SINATOR SAM ERVIN SAYS ☆ ☆ MIRROR MORSELS Congress reconvenes next week after a month-long summer recess with much of its work yet to be completed. Economic measures are certain to receive speedy Congressional consideration. President Nixon won assurances to that effect from Congressional leaders a few days ago at the White House. The economic legislation which the President is expected to send to Congress proposes the repeal of the seven percent excise tax on automobiles, a new investment credit program for business, and a sp^-up of the effective date of the ^50 personal income tax exemption to January 1, 1972. With the money crisis foremost on the minds of everyone, there is also the prospect that other measures may be introduced to fight inflation and unemployment, since the Administration has been under steady pressure for months from Capitol Hill to take action to improve the economy. The shift in the Ad ministration’s money policy is almost certain to have some effect on several of the President’s major proposals— revenue-sharing and the guaranteed annual income for welfare families. When the wage-price-tax-budget plan was announced on August 15th, it was stated that the Ad ministration was deferring the effective date of any revenue sharing and welfare reforms for periods of as much as one year. Since both of these measures were in some trouble already, the President’s action is not likely to improve the chances for their passage at this session. New environmental legislation seems likely to win flnal approval soon. Most likely this will be in the form of a 3- year construction program water treatment facilities. The Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution completed markup of a bill to extend such aid on August 5. Hie House Public Works Committee has scheduled hearings on water pollution control measures on September 13. ALL-SEASON AIR CONDITIONING warms or cools at a touch! Irhe S. B. Parkerl Company 1104 National Avanua Ml r-33»7 Lannox Comfort Croftwnon >','1,' Lenoo> Hie House-Senate conference report on the bill' to extend the draft, which was approved by the House just before the recess, will be taken up by the Senate on September 13. Op ponents of the measure have already indicated that they will again engage in extended debate in an effort to set a deadline for the withdrawal of U. S. troops from Indochina. My own feeling is that Congress ought to extend the draft for a period of two years and leave it to the President to work out the withdrawal schedule for our troops as he determines best for our national interests. Four out of fourteen r^ular appropriation bills have yet to be approved, but even so this is much better than in any recent year. The remaining r^ular money bills are for defense, military construction, foreign aid, and the District of Columbia. Hie foreign aid authorization bill, in spite of the President’s August 15 pledge to cut overseas assistance by ten percent, is again in trouble. This time a hassle has developed between the Secretary of Defense and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over the withholding by the Department of certain requested information. Chairman Fulbright indicates that the Committee may not consider the foreign aid authorization until the in formation issued is resolved. As always, there are predictions of early ad journment, but with so many issues yet to be acted upon, this' appears to be more hope than substance.
