“DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOB YOU"
Report From Washington
■ft#
BY CONGRESSMAN JAMES
r. BtOYHUX
In Ohm concluding weeks
rf the Muioa, activity on Cap
itol BUI shows signs of pick
ing up some of tbe steam it has
lacked. Although much of the
log-jam of necessary Mils la
In the Senate, the House, too,,
has been slow to get down
to business oo the scores of eo
ealled priority proposals that
await consideration.
Last week. Foreign ‘Aid
legislation dominated the scene
on the Boses side of the Capi
tol. YUS w*”1 ritual autho
rised $U billion, a figure
about $441 million below tbs'
budget request. I opposed this
hill because 1 ted that tbe
Cull reductions and serious
reforms that must be made In
this wasteful and largely lb
effectual program bare not
bean made. The International
spemUng binge has poured out
vast sums over the years with
very spotty results at best.
With Federal spending bainr
strongly curtailed, many valu
able and desirable programs
have been cutback because at
the necessity to put the na
tion's flnanclal house in or
der. Certainly, much more of
the foreign aid program should
be cut and given a much lower
order of priority so wecanbet
ter meet the legitimate needs
of our own people. We will
have another chance to face
this issue when the actual ap
propriations bill arises In sev
eral weeks.
If pnblSeiMd.butof wide*
spread interest, aopathaleMp
m legislation to amend the.
Sun oootrol law that was passed
last year. This law, la nqr
opinion, was unwise and ua
justified. It nas agreed to oh
tile national ware of feeling fol
lowing the assassinations of
Or. Martin lather King and
Senator Robert Kennedy. Its
purpose was to strengthen Fed
eral sun control statutes and to
help reduce crime. As a whole,
the Mil showed little promise
at accomplishing Its purpose,
.1 opposed the legislation ss it
finally became law because of
the number of bad features ..
K contained and I bare joined
others here this year to change
the statute.
One of the most unacceptable
' parts of the law requires that
storekeepers maintain an ela
borate series of records on
sales of shotgun and rifle am
munition. The results, many
of us argued whan tbs original
MU was considered would he
cotduaion and burden upon
merchants and law-abiding cit
isaos alike without making any
significant contribution to
stamping out crime.
Theee predictions have
proved true. The Treasury De
partment now finds that the
records require tor sales of
sales of sporting-type ammu
nltioo “are not effective as a
law eatorcementtooi.,’InaddU
tton, the Department recog
nises the unnecessary incon
venience tMs portion of tfae law
has caused and has found that
its uoreaaonahlo proruton*
tar* generated "criticism
from l ports men and others
and detracts from the effect*
tee enforcement of other pro
visions of the firearms laws,"
As a result of these eoaelu
slons end mounting pressure
ter legislative action, the re
peal of this record-keetfng
. requirement as it applies to
Shotgun and rifle ammunition
ims added to the Interest
Equalisation Tax hill as it
passed the Senate a few dap*
ago. The House was quick to
Set and the bill is now on tbs
President’s desk.
Last pear, the strongest ad
' voeates of new and stringent
gun eontrol laws, including
firearms registration, were in .
; the Senate. The registration
proposal was rejected and
than is no serious effort to
revive it this pear. What was
dona in 1968, it seemed to *
me, took punitive action against
law-abiding citizens and their
right to own firearms without
teeing the central problem of
dealing with criminals who use
guns to commit crimes. In the
House version of the hill last
pear, there was a strong pro
vision which would require
mandatory and additional Jail
■enteuces for persona com
mitting Federal crimes with
firearms. I believe that was
. a useful and necessary pro- ■
vision which would help re
duce crime. Unfortunately, the
Senate removed thet provision
from the bill la-t peer.
