The
Washington "eport
bv
Rep. Walter B. Jones
To say the least, no two weeks in Washington are the
same. Last week on early Monday morning I met with the
Vice President of the Allstate Insurance Company, Joe
Howell, and also the chief counsel for Allstate. This was
regarding TV ads they are currently running offering a
discount to non-smokers. Inasmuch as current legislation
prohibits the the tobacco industry from doing any
advertising through the medium of television, we
contended that this was unfair; and as a result of the
meeting, were virtually assured that at the termination of
their eight-week contract, they would desist from using
such type advertising. I want to commend Allstate and
Sears, ^ebuck Company for their fair-minded thinkine
in this matter.
On Thursday, September 20, along with approximate^
50 other Members of the House, I was invited by
President Carter to the White House for dinner and for
what I considered a most productive and frank discussion
of the relationship between the White House and
Congress. Physically, the President looked well and he
spared no punches in being critical of the Democratic
Members of Congress who for the most part failed to
support his programs. He even stated that he kept a
computer list in his desk drawer of our individual voting
records and implied that assistance from the White
House in the future will be conditioned on House support
or lack of same. Some 12 of us were rcognized for
comments to offer our criticism or suggestions as to how
relationships could be improved and when it came my
turn I emphasized the independence of the bureaucracy,
the different Departments and Secretaries, and their
apparent lack of respect to Members of Congress as it
relates to inquiries and demands for assistance. He
assured me that for any indifference noted in the future, if
I would call it to his attention he would see that the
situation was remedied. As it relates to the White House-
Congressional situation, I think it was one of the most
profitable two hours that could possibly have been spent.
