Reports
By Congressman
WALTER B. JONES
The Senate hearings on the .
Watergate affair which opened
this week have tended to
overshadow all other matters
on Capitol Hill: however, one of
the most controversial bills
considered by the House this
session was passed this week
which authorized S4O-million as
the United States participation
in an International
Environmental Program to be
administered by the United
Nations. This figure represents
40 per cent of the estimated
amount required, and
definately violates the terms of
an Act passed by the Congress
in 1972. For at that time we were
able to pass legislation which
put a limit of 25 per cent U.S.
participation for UN activities.
Several amendments were
offered to reduce the amount
authorized, all of which I
supported. Certainly I would not
advocate the withdrawal of the
U.S. from the UN, but I think it
is time that the other countries
of the world provided their fair
share of the cost, rather than
the United States contributing
anywhere from 40 - 50 per cent
of the operational
requirements. With this in
mind, I voted no on final
passage, although the bill was
passed by a vote of 226 to 123.
Legislation also passed last
week by the House was the
Hobby Protection Act, designed
to protect hobbyists against the
reproduction or manufacture of
certain imitation hobby items
Under the legislation, any
imitation political item
manufactured in, or imported
into, the United States for,
' introduction or distribution
must be plainly and
; permanently marked with the
Calendar year of its
manufacture, and any imitation
numismatic item must be
marked “copy.’ n is estimated
that in the United States there
are well over one million people
who collect coins, tokens;
commemorative medals and
political items: and there is a
growing incidence of imitation
numismatic and political items
being purchased or obtained
through trade in the belief that
they are original items the
legislation purports to offer
come relief in this area.
I think most people are
beginning to realize that we are
facing an acute shortage of
petroleum products. Many of
the major companies are
!>eginning to ration their dealers
and terminate their contracts
With individuals. So. with the
necessity of agriculture
having an adequate supply of
petroleum products for planting
and harvesting of this year’s
crop, the Committee on
Agriculture held hearrngs
trying to discover what
measures could be taken to
make this 1 possible. A most
interesting statement was made
to the end that we are wasting 40
per cent of our total energy and
that by 1980 unless this trend is
reversed, this fugure will reach
60 per cent. A spokesman for the
industry blamed the
environmentalists for the lack
of necessary refineries in this
country, citing various state
laws which have been enacted
which prevents the construction
of refineries in areas which
would be most desirable. The
construction of refineries in
areas which would be most
desirable. The construction of
the Alaskan Pipeline which has
been delayed for some time
presents another’problem as it
relates to the petroleum
shortage. In the year 1972 fuel
oil and gas consumption
increased by 7‘ 2 per cent. Even
more alarming, the first three
months of this year showed
another 9 per cent increase.
None of -the witnesses or
Members of Congress have any
definite solution as to what
mjght be done. Several
suggestions were made
including a national 50 mph
speed limit which would save 1
gallon out of every,lo now being
used. If the emergency
increases, it is my opinion that
we must return to national gas
and fuel oil rationing as we did
in World War II and the Korean
War. At the moment, the
Administration seems to rely on
voluntary compliance with the
implied promise that if this
doesn't solve the problem than
mandatory restrictions will be
enacted. It is a serious problem
and one which cannot be
ignored any longer.
