Washington Report

CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
Up In Arms
The United States House of
Representatives is being
organized more slowly than any
session since I have been a
Member of Congress. Last
week, February 3, marked
exactly one month that we have
been in session, and several
committees still have not had
organizational meetings which
therefore precludes action on
legislation which has been In
troduced.
However, the House Com
mittee on Agriculture did ap
prove a bill by a vote of 28-6
which would require the
Secretary of Agriculture to
continue the Rural En
vironmental Assistance
Program (REAP) which has
meant so much to the preser
vation and ccHiservation of our
natural resources, and which
has assisted many farmers in
complying with some of the
rigid rules of the En
vironmental Protection
Agency. Of course,
this will require final action by

the House and Senate and will
be subject to Presidential veto.
Many of us in the Congress
approve of the President’s
[ffoposed reduction in spending,
but we also question his
priorities in these reductions.
For an example, in his plan to
terminate the Economic
Development Administration
which has been so valuable in
brining water and sewerage to
small communities not only for
the benefit of the local
residents, but in many cases
has been the means of at
tracting new industry which the
economy of eastern North
Carolina continues to need, a
great financial burden will be
placed on the local com
munities. There are so many
areas of government where
reductions could be made
without crippling necessary
services. I am thinking of the
wasteful foreign aid program,
the billions we have invested in
space, and on a more personal
note, if one could examine the
number of high paid employees
in the Executive Branch itself,
they would be quite surprised.
For example, Robert L. Shultz,
carries the title of Special
Assistant to the President for
Liaison with Former
Presidents,” with a salary of
$35,000 and in all probability, an
almost unlimited expense ac
count. Since at no time have we
had more than two former
Presidents, I question the
necessity of this office.
I have had the pleasure of
participating in two events in
the District in recent days, both
of which made a very favorable
impression on me. First, I had
the pleasure of flying down to
Washington, N. C., to visit the
Weyerhaeuser Company Tree
Farm. When this tree farm was
dedicated a few years ago, it
was one of my first public ap
pearances since becoming a
Member of Congress. On this
occasion a few days ago, I
joined in planting the 20
millionth tree which has come
fi'om the tree farm since its
creation in 1967. Also,
Weyerhaeuser predicts that
they will have a total planting of
over 100 million throughout the
United States in this calendar
year.
Sunday, January 28,1 had the
pleasure of participating in the
dedication of the Tidelands
