Page 2-A The Washington Report Ctogressmaa Walter B. J«aes During the past week the House has been extremely busy attempting to pass the necessary appropriation bills as soon as possible. The legislative procedures have been moving along rather well; for an example, with minimum amount of debate as well as a minimum number of amendments, the House, in a period of about two hours approved a $34 billion Agriculture Depart ment appropriations tall. The vote was 297 to 115. Os the amount previously stated, sl2 billion will go to finance the government farm support programs. Federal Crop In surance and other related ef forts in the coming fiscal year. In addition, $13.8 billion was allocated for the Food Stamp Program and other nutrition programs; but it is estimated that this amount will not be enough to serve the coming fiscal year. As usual, there was the threat of a veto on this particular legislation. But, it is $6.2 billion lower than fiscal 1983 and, as a mat ter of fact, it is $53 million less than President Reagan’s budget request. So, it is dif ficult to see justification for any sort of veto. After running along smoothly on Monday and Tuesday, a very heated ses sion developed on Wednesday over the Treasury-Postal Ser vice sl2 billion appropriation bill.

This action was brought about when it had been previously tfisdosed that some prior legislation permit ted the former Presidents to draw certain sums, whereby each of them were reaching nearly $300,000 per year ia ad dition to the SBO,OOO pension. Evidence was produced that each of the former Presidents received tremendous amounts of money for speeches and other public ap pearances. It was stated that former President, Gerald Ford, in a recent visit to Wake Forest University, received an honorarium of $20,000. A rather strange aspect of this action was that the sponsor of the bill had little or no hope of its passage, but as the testimony developed regar ding the hugh sums which they were receiving for per sonal appearances, the bill picked up momentum and finally was passed by a vote of 244 to 169. On this, I cast a yes vote. Also, in connection with this legislation once again the very sensitive and controver sial subject of abortion was considered. An amendment was offered to prohibit the use of health insurance funds to pay for abortions for federal workers, except when the life of the woman was in danger. This seams to be about the 28th time the House of this' very sensitive question. AH of gross who spoke of this amendment were against*, with the exception of one Repubhcon member. Hot in any event, the amendment In prohibit the use of federal in surance funds was approved 226 to 182. Also contained in the bill was an action to cut off money tax. You will recall that Has wasa tax on dhrwfeodh and in terest from banks, savings and loans and other institu tions.
