been rapidly iclinquishtnur its
lolc as a co-equal pailner in
government While its pumaiy
function should be to ougmato
law, it has most lecenll.v fun
ctioned primarily as a "lady in
waiting” for administi alive poli
cies. We have almost i cached the
point where Congress sits on its
hands unless there is a White
House proposal which demands
attention.
Senator Mansfield, the Demo
cratic Floor leader in the U. S.
Senate, is one who recognizes the
Congress’onnl responsibilities
He saw fi pi ago. to
make u Mam .1 L ->
that they -noulcl be doing some
work themselves rather than
sitting around and waiting foi
the Administration to come up
with all the legislative ideas I
wish that the House Demoeiatic
leadership would heed Senator
Mansfield’s woids, for on oui
side of the Capitol it can be
leadily obseived that the chief
legislative piocess has become
one of follow the leadei Unless
the House leadei ship is piovided
with precise dnections, the law
making business gnnds to a halt
Of course, there aie some not
able exceptions Wilbur Mills,
the Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, is one
who believes in origination of
legislation and, in fact, often
pushes an Administi ation to act
on fiscal matters We need many
more men like Congressman
Mills who are tiuly legislator
The 91st Congress has a chance
to be a real law-making body I
sincerely believe that President
Nixon has provided Congress
with a unique opportunity to le
assert itself as a forceful factor
in national policy In his first 'lOO
days the President outlined for
the Congress and for the Ameri
can people some excellent gener
al guidelines for national prog
ress He basically left it up to the
Congress, in its capacity as rep
resentatives of the public at
large, to add substance to these
Presidential recommendations
>ot, within the coiridors of Con
gioss wcio hem cl crjs Hut the
Nixon Aclmmisli ation's first 100
days weic “unpioductive "
It is inteiesting that some of
the fust cntics of Piesidcnt Nix
on's caily piogram of geneializ
ea guidelines were the same
members of the Congiessional
leadership who are stymied when
asked to assume some responsi
bility. If their evaluation is in
reality an admission that they
are unable to act without specific
direction, I believe the Amei ican
pecnle should carefully analyze
Ir.e '.o'? ’’•>3 a
ugnt to expeci the Congiess to
seize an opportunity to do its
job of bringing the vo*ce of the
people into national policy
The modem role of the House
and Senate should be as a co
equal partnei in government so
that the people have a leal op
poitunity to make themselves
heaid Piesident Nixon seems
to lecogmze that fact and I
think it is impoitant toi the Con
giessional leadership to do the
same
Curb Weight Gain
Sensible eating habits and con
scientious weightwatching may
be the keys to keeping your
turn figure, suggests Louise Ha
milton, Penn State foods and
nutrition specialist Plan meals
that supply fewer calones but
provide enough protein, vita
mins, and mmeials, and learn to
like and eat foods high in nutn
ents but reasonable in calones.
Records Important
Keep records of all foims of
income, including dividends
from stocks, bonds, and savings
accounts, advise Penn State ex
tension home management spec
ialists Adequate records may
save you tax money and will
make the job of preparing your
annual-income tax return a little
easier.
