The Washington Report: Budget Committee Gets Authority To Cut Programs
By i ongressman
Walter B. Jones
As many of you will recall,
several weeks ago Congress
passed a rigid and strict
budget action for fiscal year
1982. It not only required
drastic reductions in all
authorizations and ap
propriations, but it actually
gave the Budget committee
the right and the power to
cut various programs if the
Committees with the proper
jurisdiction did not act on
their own. The Merchant
Marine and Fisheries
Committee, of which I am
Chairman, was forced to
either provide new revenues
or make a total reduction of
$207-million for 1982, s4ll
- in 1983 and $551-
million in 1984. Inasmuch as
this Committee is not
considered a “money”
Committee as such, as we

have authorizing power only
over the merchant marine,
the Panama Canal and the
Coast Guard, it was most
difficult to comply with this
request; but, the majority of
the Members felt that we
should take our own action
rather than leave the final
decision up to the Budget
Committee. Among other
things the Budget Com
mittee suggested was that
we impose a user’s fee on all
American vessels travelling
on navigable waters. This
idea found absolutely no
support, and as Chairman of
the Committee, I refused to
introduce that legislation.
At this point, it has not been
introduced in our Com
mittee. As a substitute for
the so-called user’s fee, we
proposed an ocean dumping
charge of $5 per ton, which
-is suppose to raise $l7O
million. Other cuts
demanded by the Budget
Committee was a reduction
in the medical treatment for
Public Service Hospitals
and the demand that in the
future the seamen who
require hospitalization pay
the prevailing rate. In any
event, we did meet the
budget deadline in reduc
tions which was required by
June 15.
Os interest to many in the
First District was the
requirement that the
Committee on Agriculture
reduce its authorization by
S7OO-million. This was
reached by ordering a
reduction of 9.2 per cent in
all USDA departmental
functions with the exception
of agriculture research. At
this point in time," I am
happy to assure all that the
tobacco program has not
been threatened.
President Reagan a short
time ago announced drastic
changes in the social
security benefits program;
for example, reducing the
early retirement from 70 per
cent to 50 per cent, and also
the termination of the
survivor’s dependents
allowance when they reach
the age of 18 regardless of
whether they continue their
education or not. At the
present time a dependent
can receive the benefits
until the age of 22 if he or she
continues in college. The
reduced early retirement
was rejected by all Com
mittees and in all
