The Washington Report By Congressman Walter Jones
by
Congressman Waller B. Jones
Congress has finally decided
who will represent the 8th District
of Indiana. After spending an en
tire week, over 200 hours, of what
many Members consider to be
wasted legislative time, on debate
and procedural motions,
Democrat Frank McCloskey was
seated on May 1 as the
Representative.
In February a special Task
Force was established pursuant to
the powers granted the House of
Representatives by the Constitu
tion to recount the ballots cast in
this election. The actual recount
was conducted by impartial
auditors from the General Ac
counting Office and directly
supervised by an experienced
election official from Arizona. The
final tabulation found Mr.
McCloskey the winner by four
votes.
Although the Republican
members of the House repeated
ly made accusations that the re
count was a Democratic scheme
to “steal” this seat, the pro
cedures used to recount the ballots
had been used many times before
to finalize disputed elections. As
early as 1820 and 1838, the House
was called upon to determine how
to count ballots in a debated elec
tion. The recent Indiana dispute is
now settled and I am hopeful we
can now return to the important
business of adopting a budget
which reduces the deficit and
maintains our essential
programs.
There has been no new or effec
tive progress made towards solv
ing the problems facing our tobac
co program. The stabilization buy
out proposal is apparently still
deadlocked on the antitrust
legislation issue. In addition,
USDA is considering withdrawing
its approval for the 25' per pound
rebate to manufacturers unless
100% of the stabilization stocks
are purchased. There is some
work being done on drafting a
tobacco bill which would address
the buy-out, price support and an
titrust areas, but it is not likely
this bill could be considered and
passed in time to help with the
1985 crop.
In addition, there is growing
concern over the many proposals
to increase the excise tax on
cigarettes. Placing any additional
tax on cigarettes, regardless of
the amount, will open the door not
only, for as much as 32' per pack
to be tacked on but will also be a
giant step toward killing the
tobacco program altogether.
There is good news on the 1986
Farm Bill. Although the entire bill
has not been definitely put
together, each subcommittee is

diligently working in their respec
tive areas of expertise and the full
Committee is expected to consider
the proposals by May IS. The
tobacco program is not a part of
the Farm Bill.
A few days ago President
Reagan appeared on national TV
and urged the American public to
respond to his request for support
of his fiscal year ‘86 budget. It has
been my policy since being in Con
gress to support the President
regardless of political party
whenever possible. In the main I
do not have too many problems
with the President’s bucket, but if
the American public had any idea
of the waste and fraud which ex
ists in defense spending, for which
the recommended request is some
$354 billion, perhaps they would
enthusiastically approve of their
Representatives looking most
carefully at this particular part of
the budget.
