Page 2-The Perquimans Weekly, Washington Report CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES tl - v On Monday, February 17, I the House returned from v what I considered an v unnecessary recess which .." extended from February 6V On Tuesday, the House approved the Maritime 'Authorization for fiscal 1975. 'This was in the total amount of $562 million, 900 or approximately $600 million, u I mention this only to t. comment that it was passed c:by a voice vote when I have :'seen the House engage in 'heated debate for several hours over other appropriation bills which called for a much smaller r sum. In other House action during the week, once " again the Congress was called upon to bail out the Penn Central and " other ' -railroads of the mid-east Cand north. In summary, the bill would authorize $197 million in new grants, and $150 in new loans for o Penn Central and other " bankrupt railroads. All of us "recognize the need for "adequate mass transit for "both passenger and freight, yet there comes a time when the Congress must consider just how far it should go into ' assisting privately owned public utilities.. As 'bundlesome as the bureaucratic operations of "this government might be, I ';am of the opinion that if the ' taxpayer's dollars are going . to be used to finance Penn Central or any other '' railroad, then the taxpayers . should own same, for I .believe that with all its 'imperfections, the ' Government could not do any worse with its 'management as has been the supervision in recent " years. I think it appropriate to remind you that this is not ,the first time that Congress :has been called upon for i financial assistance to -same, for in 1973 an -authorization for $85 million r in grants and $150 million in t: loans was approved by the Congress. So, from a conviction as stated above, I voted no on final passage. S ' Another appropriation considered by the House vwas for supplemental funds totalling $117 million. The most controversial part of I.- the bill was a section which would provide over $17 million to , immediately remodel an existing, but not Jused, FBI building in the general area of the Capitol Tto provide additional spaces X for offices indirectly related jjto Congressional activities. These offices are now housed in the three Cong ressional Office Buildings, ' and with the increasing ' Congressional staffs many felt that the additional space "was justified. The appropriation included $14.5 " million for alteration, $1.5 "million for furnishings $500,000 for maintenance and $375,000 for police "protection. I voted no on final passage of this particular legislation. Of course, it passed by a ; vote of 273-174. t S07 C. MAIN ST. ELIZABETH CITV. N.C. z Pbu Get More at TODAYS .

Board Senator Robert Morgan of North Carolina has been appointed to the United States Coast Guard Academv's Board of Visitors by Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller.

A Congressional Board of Visitors is chosen each year to visit the Academy and meet with the Corps, the Superintendent, and the faculty and to tour -: the institution. The Board of Visitors tour is scheduled for April 11 of this year. Morgan and the other members of the Congressional delegation will travel by Coast XJuard plane to New London to meet with the Academy's Superintendent, Admiral Jenkins, and then lunch with the Corps of Cadets. The Board will be briefed on the role of the Coast Guard Academy, its aims as an educational and military institution and the progress it has made in all phases of cadet training. Senator Morgan noted that cadet selection is a purely competitive process. There are no congressional appointments to the Academy. At some later date, a report will be made to both houses of Congress describing what was learned during the tour and perhaps suggesting what might be done to help the Academy with its programs.
