The bill has passed the House and awaits Senate action (4) Support of President’s Vietnam Peace Plan. Resolution endorsing President Nixon’s ef forts to achieve an honorable peace in Vietnam. At this writ ing, the resolution is due for prompt House consideration. (5) Electoral Reform. A bill intended to revise the electoral college procedure for selecting a President. The House favored direct election to the plan I pre sented, and I eventually voted for the direct election formula. (6) Exemption of Ammunition from Registration Procedures. This is legislation which is meant to relieve sportsmen fiom the burden of filling out forms to buy ammunition This bill has cleared both the House and Se nate and awaits the Piesident’s signature. (7) Special Education Pro- grams. Two different bills I have co-sponsored are designed to help children on both ends of the education scale those with learning disabilities and those who are specially gifted and tal ented. Both bills have cleared the House. (8) Promotion of Health and Safety. This legislation, which has been signed into law, helps protect workers on all Federal and federally financed construc tion projects. (9) Increase Personal Income Tax Exemption. This bill asks that the personal exemption on federal income tax be raised from $6OO to $lOOO Such a pro vision was not included in the tax reform proposal passed by the House, but it is being consid ered in the Senate. (10) Prayer in Public Build ings. The legislation would lead to a Constitutional Amendment to assure that an individual is free to offer non-denommational prayer m public buildings, in particular, the schools This re solution is pending in committee and, in all honesty, does not ap pear likely to move in the 91st Congress. (11) Anti-Pornography Act. This bill would seek to protect the private home from receipt of unwanted, sexually provocative mail Similar legislation was the subject of committee hearings now completed in the House. (12) Humane Treatment of Vietnam Prisoners. A resolution calling on our own government, the United Nations and other world nations to ask North Viet nam and the Viet Cong to com ply with international law re lating to the treatment of Amer ican prisoners In spite of all legends to the contrary, there is no proven record of any matriarchal socie ty (government by women) ever having existed Is Your Subscription Due? 23
