Washington Report
by
Congressman Walter B. Jones
Recently, I have com
mented on the lack of House
action on the part of Con
gress. This past week was
quite different inasmuch as
all authorization bills were
supposed to be enacted prior
to May 15. I have previously
explained the process of
authorizations and appropria
tions; the committee which
has jurisdiction, whether it be
the Agriculture Committee,
Merchant Marine Committee
or whatever, present? gisla
tion calling for a tain
amount of money for ding.
If the House approve then
this amount is submit! ! to
the Appropriations Commit
tee at a later date which ay
agree to the funding 01 .in
reduce the funding, but unuu
the rules of the House, cannot
increase the funding beyond
that which has been authoriz
ed. So, this past week two ma
jor agencies were authorized,
both of which involved
lengthy debate and a wide
variety so opinion as to what
the total amount should be.
The first was the National
Science Foundation. Much
was said about the decline in
our number of students who
are pursuing science and
technology careers. The
amount authorized was
$1,342,700,000. This is
SSO-million above what the
Administration had re
quested, which was
designated to support new in
itiatives in research in
strumentation. Referring to
the lack of interest in
mathematics and physical
science training, of the
amount mentioned above,
$358,600,000 is designated to
assist in this program.
The other authorization was
he Department of Energy
ivilian Research and
Development. The total
authorization for this Depart
ment was presented at a level
of $3,288 . 271.000. Os this
amount, $310,430,000 was in
cluded for research on fossil
energy, and $142,180,000 for
energy conservation, R&D.
Both these authorizations
are directed towards improv
ing our knowledge and
research in scientific
technology, as many contend
that we are falling far behind
in these fields.
i i another very close vote,
the I mse approved a bill to
provide $760 million for
homeowners’ aid. with the
economy being as it is, many
homeownei-s, through no fault
of their own, are having their
mortgages foreclosed and los
ing their homes. The bill will
proviode that if one can pro
ve that he is unable to make
his payments, due to no fault
of his own he can obtain loans
for as long as 36 months to
cover mortgage payments. If
the transaction is completed
between the Department of
Housing and Urban Develop
ment, then the homeowner
must agree to contribute 38%
of his income for repayment
purposes to the government;
HUD will advance the rest of
the mortgage payments. As
the economy improves, and
the individual again become
gainfully employed at a de
cent salary, he will be re
quired to repay the govern
ment for this loan. The pro
gram will be limited to
homeowners with incomes of
$20,000 or less, and other
assets, not including the
home, not exceeding SIO,OOO.
This is the third major anti
recession measure passed
this year by the House; the
other being legislation dealing
with jobs, and another bill
which supposedly provides
additional aid to farmers
through the Farme rs Home
Administration.
On a more personal note,
the Merchant Mairine and
Fisheries Committee had two
full-day sessions, passing
smaller authorization bills,
reporting out six bi 11s on the
first day and five <>n the se
cond day.
