My word! Uvalde? The home

Uvalde and Mr. Garner.
We found Mr Garner sitting
in a rocking chair in his chick

PEOPLE
CONGRESS GOES ON
Within a few days, Congress
will be completing the eleventh
month of the first session of
the 90th Congress. In recent
years, the trend has been for
Congressional sessions to !
stretch on longer and longer,
until, for all practical [imposes
Congress is in session the year
around.
It becomes apparent that
this is an abnormal situation
when we consider the statutory
limits on Congressional ses
sions. The last time Congress
legislated on this topic was in
1946, when the Legislative Re
organization Act decreed that
Congress would adjourn no
later than the last day of July
except in time of war or na
tional emergency.
FORGOTTEN PROVISO
This proviso was forgotten
long ago in the flood of legisla
tive business that Congress has
assumed down through t km
years. On March 7. 1967. the
Senate passed a new Legislative
Reorganization Act designed t■
update Congressional rules and
procedures. Despite many re
forms. the hill was unable to
cope fundamentally with the
increasing work-load of Con
gress, except by the device of
extending the professional
staffs of committees and Mem
bers Instead of the 1916 ad
journment date of July Ml. the
hill proposes a one month's iv
cess during the month of
August The hill has not ye’
come to tin' floor of the House
for action, and Congress took
no summer recess this year
Even so, the basic problem
will not be cured until Congress
voluntarily cuts back in the
areas it chooses to legislate.
East year, 1 X,r>22 bills were in
t reduced in tin* House of
Representatives, and 3,931 in
the Senate.
Congress is attempting to
work in many areas which are
reserved to State action under
.i strict interpretation of the
Constitution. The basic theory
of our Constitution is that Con
gress legislates only on those
matters specifically delegated
to it by the States: the States,
in contrast, may legislate on
any matter under the sun. ex
cept for certain prohibitions
spelled out in the Constitution.
INCREASING BURDEN
Because Congress has ignored
the plan intended by the
framers of the Constitution, the
members find themselves in
creasingly burdened by intri
cate regulartory legislation and
complex appropriation bills.
Some idea of this load may be
fathomed from a Joint Con-
gressional Committee study
prepared for the 1967 reor
ganization hill.
Most citizens naturally as
sume that the most time-con
suming duty of a Member is
participation in floor debate.
Floor action is important, but
the most laborious work is per
formed in Congressional eom-
j mittees which hold public hear
ings and hammer out the
elause-hy-elause problems of
new legislation.
The Joint Committee study
shows that, collectively, Mem
bers in recent Congresses have
had to schedule as many as
110,000 appointments for com
mittee meetings in both Houses.
Members of the Senate alone
had .33.500 committee meetings
to fit into their appointment
schedules. A typical Senator
had four or five hundred com
mittee rneotines to attend. One
Senator had 737 meetings
scheduled, which is equivalent
to a committee' meeting of some
kind every day. including
Saturdays, Sundays, and holi
days for a period of two years.
CONSTITUENT AID
This enormous rise in legisla
tive business has been parallel
led by a striking increase in as
sistance rendered to constitu
ents. Most of such assistance is
ncccsHtnted by the prolifera
tion of the Federal bureaucracy
created by Congress itself.
The size and complexity of
the United States government
has become so great in the past
2d years that, in the last analy
sis, Congressional offices remain
the only authorities close
enough to the people to inter
cede on their behalf.
Still another problem is pre-
sented by the size and intricacy
of administrative budgets and
the problems of reviewing the
efficacy of current programs. It
is significant that the present
! reorganization hill authorizes
j the establishment of a Congres-
! sional computer center to ana-
lv/o executive budget requests
and performance.
; Such a center is necessary to
criticize fiscal programs which
themselves have been prepared
by Executive computers. The
danger of such a system is that
it tends to place more reliance
on the judgment of computer
technicians than on political
sensitivity. Nevertheless, as
long as Congress keeps adding
to its own work, the sessions
will go on and on.
