Republicans Cite Rep; Andreps
Votes On Major issues
WASHINGTON,
D.C. Rep. Ike Andrews
(D-NC-4) cast seventeen
'questionable votes on
issues of major concern to
his constituents in 1979
which Republicans con
sider to be indicators of
the political danger he will
face if seeking reelection
next year.
According to informa
tion released by the Na
tional Republican Con-
gressional Committee
(NRCQ, Rep. Andrews
seems to be in conflict
with his constituents in
several key issue areas,
most particularly on the
issue of the federal
budget, where out of

twelve important votes
reviewed, his stand is ap
parently at odds with his
voters six times.
NRCC Executive Direc
tor Steve Stockmeyer said
that the committee's
review was based on
significant votes in major
legislative categories that
would give an indication
of a RepresenU&T? 'z posi
tion on issues.
In the 8rv tne
federal budget, tsy votes
to balance, reduce, or
limit the federal budget
were reviewed along with
votes on public debt ceil
ing increases.
"This is not a rating nor
is it a pmiitn judgment
on our part. We looked
not only at Republican
proposals but at votes we
fed are position indicators
and compared them to the
views of the voting public
in these congressional
districts," Stockmeyer
said. i
Stockmeyer explained
that due to the
devTraphk and survey
r2t h information com
pikrjy the NRCC. he felt
thai we (the NRCC) can
pretty accurately judge the
general concerns and at
titudes of individual con
stituencies." "We are talking about
what we see as the views of
the people in this congres
sional district,"
Stockmeyer said, "and
how they most probably
want to be represented in
Washington."
"Our purpose in releas
ing this information is to
inform the voters of this
record so they can loo'
more closely at their
Representative and judge
his total performance for
themselves and in our
opinion, these are areas
that should be closdy
scrutinized."
In other areas of the
review. Rep. Andrews cast
questionable votes in the
categories of social legisla
tion and ethics in govern
ment (three times) and
foreign affairs (three
times).
North Carolina Unemployment Rate
Better Than National Averat
The level of business ac
tivity in North Carolina
moved upward in
November, according to
the Wachovia Business In
dex. The Index registered
158.6, 0.5 per cent above
the October level.
The November gain in
the Index was due to in
creases in non-farm
employment, average
hourly earnings, and the
manufacturing workweek.
The growth in non-farm
employment was largely
attributable to an 0.5 per
cent gain in non-
manufacturing industries
and a marginal rise in the
manufacturing sector. In
the non-manufacturing
sector, government
employment was unchang
ed from October, but ser
vices, trade and construc
tion all reflected healthy
employment increases.
Manufacturing industries
showed employment gains
in both durable and non
durable goods companies.
The seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate for
North Carolina was 4.8
per cent in November,

Total unit sales of cars
and trucks during the first
eleven months of 1979
were 7.0 per cent below
sales for the same period
last year.
Throughout the first
eleven months of 1979,
non-farm employment
averaged 2.6 per cent
above last year. Although
average monthly employ
ment in non-durable
goods was unchanged
from 1978, employment
gains in durable goods in
dustries resulted in a 1.1
per cent increase in
average manufacturing
employment. Non
manufacturing industries
provided the major source
of employment growth.
Construction employment
averaged 6.4 per cent
above last year, with trade
up 3.5 per cent and ser
vices up 4.5 per cent. The
