Tin CHOWAN HKKAIJ), EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA AUGUST M, 197* •: : • MNATOt SAM IRVIN x * SAYS * WASHINGTON Congress approaches the final months of the session with a number of major issues on its cal endar. This is not unusual when one considers the mag / nitude of the problems await ing consideration. Among the unfinished business are moat of the money bills, an omnibus farm bill, a package of jenvironmental controls, several consumer protection measures, a trade-tariff bill, a handful of administration tax requests, and a controversial family assistance welfare proposal. At this stage, many who are impatient with the pro gress of certain legislation seek to point to the “slow pace” of Congress. It should be noted that the first months cf any session are necessar ily devoted to hearings on legislation and that this is an £ssential part of the consid eration of any important bill. (Moreover, the first months of this session were devoted to many other vital issues con cerning our nation. (For, weeks, the Senate debated tjhe qualifications of three nominees before it confirmed. Justice Blackmun for a seat on the Supreme Court. Later, this body debated our South east Asian policies, and more recently it has conducted s. review of our defense pos ture. While I have disagreed with many of my colleagues concerning their views on these subjects, still I con sider these debates to be of the utmost importance since they are responsive to the' concerns at the people. The status of some of the major measures still pending on the Congressional calendar is as follows: The President’s package of 'environmental bills has re ceived hearings by the Senate and House Public Works Committees. Thereafter, the House has passed measures extending the Clean Air Act for three years and the Solid Waste Disposal Act through, 'fiscal 1973. The Senate Pub lic Works Committee has re ported favorably the Resource Recovery Act of 1970, a mea sure extending and expanding federal solid waste programs for four years through fiscal 1974. Prospects for the pass age of this legislation depend cm resolving a conflict of opinions as to the best means of solving our environmental ■ problems. Consumer legislation is re ceiving much attention by the Congress. The Senate Com- I merce Committee recently re ported a bill to permit con sumers to join together in law suits against sellers who ' engage in deceptive practices fnd to recover money dam- • fees from them. Senate and House Government Opera tions Committees have been considering functional legis lation to establish a consumer protection agency.

C — - - • - - - - - ' i likely that Congress will en : act 6ome legislation on this ' subject either this year or ' next year. 1 The Omnibus Farm Bill, which recently passed the House, is now under consid ; eration by the Senate Agri : culture Committee. The Presi dent’s revised welfare pro posal, which has been under going a critical review by the Senate Finance Commit tee, now appears likely to come to the Senate floor be fore adjournment Even so, the bill to provide for a mini mum annual payment to wel fare recipients remains in doubt, fi nee any Senate passed bill would probably have to be passed on again by the House which approved its version in mid-April. New consumer taxes requested by the President also remain in doubt. One of the most important bills yet to be acted on is the trade-tariff bill to establish quotas on foreign goods com ing into this country. Con gressional support of this legislation appears to be ' strong with the prospects that action may be favorable on such a bill in the remain ing days of the session.
