After a three-week sum
imt recess, the Congress
reconvened on Wednesday,
September 3. I had the
pleasure of seeing many of
you during the recess, and
I continue to be most in
terested in your observa
tions.
School enrollment prob
lems continue to 'be of the
greatest concern to many.
The hope of members of all
races for a return to “Free
dom of Choice” has all but
disappeared.
Some expressed interest
and concern over the Tax
Reform Bill. Most of you
expressed approval from
the conviction that tax re
form was long overdue.
It was a pleasure to note
that the sale and price of
tobacco is generally satis
factory. It is always a re
warding experience to visit
as many communities in
the district as possible and
attempt to learn of your
concern and interest in fed
eral legislation.
As Congress reconvened
on September 3, it is now
apparent that this could

BLACKOUT
A bizarre type of human
behavior often experienced
by those suffering from al
coholism is the blackout. (
This is a temporary period ,
of amnesia following a
period of inebriety. 1
After the inebriate has (
awakened, memory of his ,
activity while drinking has ■
been wiped out. He just \
can’t remember what he
did. Popularly, this is
called “pulling a blank."
1 could give many ex
amples of the 'blackout.
One of the most frequently
heard is the alcoholic’s not
knowing how he got home
during a drinking bout.
The last thing he can re
member is drinking at such
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11. IMS.
Military Procurement and
Research, Water Pollution,
reform of the draft system
and many others.
The above does not in
clude President Nixon’s
proposed revision of the
present welfare program.
So, it is evident that if the
Congress is to complete its
required work, it will in
volve hard work and many
night sessions.
Last Week the House
Committee on Agriculture
continued its hearings on
the extension of the pres
ent farm program as well
as an extension and in
crease in food stamps.
During the questioning of
Julius F. Rothman, associ
ate director of the Depart
ment of Urban Affairs of
the AFL-CIO, I asked him
what position his organiza
tion would take on a gov
ernment guaranteed em-
and such a place. And
here he is, the next after
noon, at home. What went
on between these two
events? He has no idea.
He can’t remember.
Another type of behavior
that is frequently blacked
out is travel. I’ve heard
alcoholics tell of driving
long distances, while drink
ing, and never remember
ing it. Some awaken in
strange towns and wonder
where they are and how
they got there.
A very common story il
lustrates this point very
well. An alcoholic awak
ened one morning after a
bender. He left the hotel
|he was in and started
walking down the street.
Everything seemed strange.
He didn’t recognize one
landmark. Puzzled, he
stopped a passerby and po
litely asked where he was.
“Why you’re on Main
Street," the man replied.
“Never mind the street,”
said the alcoholic, “just
tell me what town I’m in.”
I believe this little story
illustrates not only the
blackout, but it also em
phasizes how tragic the
condition of alcoholism may
become. Very few social
drinkers experience the
blackout. Many alcoholics
have them frequently. They
are a serious warning sig
nal of the possibility of the
illness.

tion on alcoholism, visit or

ployment program for able
bodied citizens who other
wise refuse to work, the
employment being a condi
tion upon which they
could receive additional
aid. He replied that the
AFL-CIO would be pleased
to see such a program en
acted. I hope other mem
bers of Congress will join
with me in pursuing this
philosophy in an effort to
aid and improve the stand
ard of living of the poor
and uneducated.
Since reconvening, the
House passed legislation to
amend the National Traffic
and Motor Vehicle Safety
Act of 1966. This bill ex
tends the act which was
enacted to reduce traffic
accidents and death and
injuries to persons result
ing from traffic accidents.
Also, the House approved
H. R. 7621, the title of
which reads as follows: “To

for use by children which
are hazardous due to the

ards.”

and walk humbly in His
ways; to do anything less
will nullify God’s plan for
us as a nation.
It has been often said—
in cases of outstanding acts
of heroism that the per
son in question knew no
fear. Maybe that is true
of some individuals—but in
that case are they truly
brave men—or merely fool
hardy? It is the man who
is afraid, who acknowl
edges that fact to himself,
and then goes on to per
form an act of bravery
that is truly a hero. And
it is a fool, indeed, today,
who is not afraid.
We need fear—both as a
stimuli to reflection, and
as a goad to our reactions.
We need to be concerned
over split ranks and divi
sive opinions. We need
unification the kind of
unification Israel achieved
under King David. Only
then can we be sure that
God is indeed with us.
