Thursday, September 14,1972 MMftrJms wports... _ With the Presidential elec, tion approximately two months away and the inaugu ration pf; the next President j approximately tour months] away, it was rather strange] last week to see the construe-1 tioig of the speaker’s stand] andgthe temporary bleachers] beiW built in the front of the ] Caflftol. With the usual] lar|l*trowd that attends this] spectacular event, it requires] a great amount of prepara-1 tion. The pageantry is great,] but I sometimes wonder if the | inauguration could not be per. | formed in a more simple | fashion, thereby saving the | taxpayers hundreds of thous-j ands of dollars. In two primaries, widely | separated, one in Colorado | and one in South Carolina,] we saw the defeat of two] long time members of the ] House, both of whom were ] chairmen of important com-] mittees. One, John McMillan, the controversial chairman of] the District of Columbia | Committee; the other Con-] gressman Wayne Aspinall, a] veteran of 24 years, chairman | of the Committee on Interior.] This makes a total of five] committee chairmen who eith-1 er through defeat or volun-J tary retirement will not be] present during the next ses-J sion of Congress. On the legislative from, the ] major bill considered by the { House was the Military Ap-j propriation of fiscal year] 1973. The bill is the largest] one in military outlay since | World War 11, despite House] reductions of $4.3 biUion,| thus leaving a total appropria. j tion of $74.6 billion. The| most controversial items wash an amendment offered by] Congressman Bob Sikes of] Florida to provide for the civ-]., ilian contractural food ser- r vices to the military. The ], Air Force and Navy have al-1 ready begun contracting KP ]' chores out to civilians, and | the Army wanted to begin, |, but the committee did not ap- r prove. The Department of I Army considers this service] essential in order to attract | recruits for an all-volunteer | force. The proponents of the I amendment argued that the I approximately SIOO million] would be more economical ]f than permitting members of j the Armed Services to pro-ll vide this work. In an un-| usual move, the House voted | 265 to 116 to reverse the Ap-1 propriations Committee, thus] ending the enlisted man’s KPL duties. The Agriculture Subcom-1 mittee on Livestock and I Grains, of which I am priv-l ileged to be a member, held I extensive hearings with Sec-1 retary of Agriculture Earl f Butz being the principal wit-1 ness, questioning the recent I wheat transaction between I this nation and Russia. Many I allegations have been made ofl the impropriety and advanced] knowledge some processors I received, thereby making | exorbitant profits. On ] the other hand, the depart-1 ment contends that in this | instance they followed thq] normal procedure as practical | on the exporting of any farm I commodity. The secretary I made a most intercstingfj'tafci j ness and the hearings will 1 continqft following week'. It is my hope that these hearings will not de velop into a partisan political’ football; but on the other hand, the public is entitled to know if the American tax payer is subsidizing the Rue-*, sian people,'and if indeed this government stands to lose thg taxpayers’ dollars in the event that Russia defaults in ita payments.
