The
Washington
Report
By Congressman
WALTER B. JONES
Last week the House action
was at a minimum. This is due
to the fact that few Committees
have reported out any
legislation. In this connection,
however, the House Committee
on Agriculture did, by a vote of
32 to 8, approve emergency
legislation for the calendar year
1975 to increase support prices
on wheat, corn and cotton. Os
particular interest to the First
District is the support price on
corn - the bill provides for a
price of $2.50 per bushel, with a
loan price of SI.BO. Many of the
urban Congressmen have
expressed dedicated opposition
to this legislation and I am sure
that a concerted effort will be
made to defeat it on the House
Floor.
President Ford has, to some
degree, been exerting pressures
to secure appropriations for
Cambodia and possibly, South
Vietnam; and it is difficult for
me to follow his rationale. For
with over more than a decade of
involvement, our fatalities of
approximately 50,000 and the
number of injuries and wounded
in the hundreds of thousands, to
say nothing of the billions of
dollars spent for this hopeless
cause. I cannot see the
advisability of appropriating
any additional funds to try to
"save" Southeast Asia.
Many of you have asked from
time to time what actually
constitutes a day in the life of a
Congressman. On Tuesday.
March 4, for example, the
"average” day went as follows:
I arrive at the office at
-approximately 8:30 A M. and
personally check the mail; on
the average, our office receives
from 75 to 100 pieces of mail
daily. 1 had an early morning
appointment with a
representative from the
Optometry Association, who is
interested in seeing that
optometry be included in all
consideration of health
legislation. Also that morning,
both the Committees on
Agriculture and Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, of which
I am a member, were meeting
in session. I attended a luncheon
sponsored by the North
Carolina League of
Municipalities in conjunction
with activities scheduled for
the week for state and
municipal leaders meeting in
Washington in the hopes of
securing additional revenues
from the federal government.
Os course, the House was in
session in the afternoon, and in
between staying on the House
Floor for discussion, I met with
a Raleigh official interested in a
Federal position here in
Washington, and also with
lobbyists representing the beef
producers who are desirous
similar to other agriculture
cdmmodities
In the evening, 1 had
invitations to attend The
Proprietary Association’s
reception, the North Carolina
Pharmaceutical Association's
reception, and the American
Institute of Planners’ reception.
He serves his party best who
serves the country best.
