BILLS MOVING FAST
I told you last week that the
tempo in the Senate was speed
ing up, and it has. We have been
meeting early and staying late
at night—in a few eases until the
wee hours of the following morn
ing—in recent weeks. I had to
cancel an important speaking en
gagement at the Hampton Water
melon Festival on Thursday be
cause of presiding duties here. My
first obligation is to be present
in the Senate whenever the roll
is called for vote. Thus far this
year I have not missed a vote, and
I do mot plan to.
We stayed in session from 9:30
a.m'. Thursday until 1 a.m. Friday
in order -to pass a bill extending
present corporate income tax rates
and certain excise taxes for /an
other year. Had the Congress not
acted prior to June 36 the Trea
sury would have lost $9 million
for every day's delay.
EXAMPLE OF WASTE
The Senate approved four more
appropriation bills during the
week. I voted against one of them,
the appropriation for the Labor
Department and the Health, Edu
cation, and Welfare Department.
The Labor Department’s portion of
the appropriation was under the
budget request, but the HEW De
partment’s part was $388 million
over the budget request. This
would have more than cancelled
out the savings we have effected
to date on most of the appropria
tion bills. One reason the 4 billion-
dollar bill was over the budget re
quest was because the bill inclu
ded more funds for the National
Surgeon General testified he
could possibly use. He said all
over the amount he asked for
would be wasted because he was
already overworking all available
trained research personnel. This
is an example, of foolish govern
ment spending. Almost everyone
favors spending as much money
as we can effectively use for health
research, but I do not believe the
taxpayers favor waste in any form.
PETER & PAUL
The Congress has now voted
the President the extra borrow
ing power he needs in order to
help the Treasury “rob Peter to
pay Paul”. The permanent debt
limit was increased this week
from $285 billion to $288 billion,
and the temporary limit was up
ped to $295 billion. This is an
other bill which had to be rushed
through in order to enable the
Secretary of the Treasury to is
sue some more government securi
ties (go into debt) the same day.
In fact, it was passed in the Se
nate in seven minutes. I recorded
myself as being against it, as a
protest against deficit financing
and our astronomical debt of $285
billion. It appears now that only
some near-fatal financial crisis is
going to put our government back
on the road to fiscal sanity.
H. R. 3 PASSES HOUSE
The House didn’t stay in ses
sion as long as the Senate did this
week, but it accomplished more
good in a lively five-hour debate
and a roll call vote on H. R. 3,
the States Rights bill. A coalition
of Southern Democrats and Re
publicans won passage of this vi
tal legislation, which will do more
to reverse the trend toward a to
talitarian central government than
any , bill considered by the Con
gress in many years. You will
recall that it was defeated in the
Senate last year by a one-vote
margin. The margin of victory in
'the House was closer this year
than last. This indicates we will
have an even tougher fight on
our hands in the Senate, but those
of us co-sponsoring the Senate
version, S. 3, are doing our utmost
to get an early and favorable vote.
GOOD OATS NEWS
Hugh Agnew, longtime presi
dent of the S. C. Farm Bureau
Federation, sent me some good
news about some sound action
which we got the Agriculture
Department to take recently. He
said the Anderson County ASC
office has not had to take any
materially weathered (or black)
cats in the CCC loan since the
Agriculture Department reversec
its position and agreed to make
them available for loans. Mr. Ag
new said CCC loan eligibility has
“prevented a low price for such
oats to the point that all oats
moving are being offered for sale
and being currently purchased at
60 cents per bushel.”
