HELP US HELP YOU THIS MAY IK ARMY RESERVE WRT OF WHAT YOU EARN ISPRIDF THE CHOWAN HERALD Washington Report: 96th Congress Convenes By Congressman Walter B. Jones As most of you know, the 96th Congress convened on January 15,1979. Last week concluded the third week of the present session, and most of this time has been spent in nominating and electing the various Com mittees as well as amending some of the House Rules under which we legislate. The 96th Congress has 77 new Members, 42 new Democrats and 35 new Republicans. Most of this change occurred as a result of retirement as well as running for other offices, such as Governor and Senator. So, with that many new members, through necessity, it almost requires a period of getting acquainted. At this point in time, over 50 per cent of the Membership of the House have served five years or less. Among other action last week was the election of the subcommittees of the House Committee on Agriculture. I hope of interest to the Dist ric is the fact that I was re-elected as Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Tobacco. Also, Con gressman Charlie Rose of North Carolina’s Seventh District was elected Chairman of the Sub committee on Livestock and Grain. This gives North Attend The Church Os Your Choice This Sunday...
