WASHINGTON REPORT
Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman
IMi ObtHcMtouuyhnuila IBHH
As the 92nd Congress 'begins
its August recess, the legislative
slate remains overloaded with
important bills that have not
been acted upon. Most of these
unenacted bills are part of Prer
sident Nixon’s legislative pro
, gram. ,
President Nixon, perhaps more
than any other Chief Executive,
has attempted to meet the times,
we live in by reforming Govern
ment. He recognizes that our
Federal system has operated for
decades with rigid procedures
that do not work well in our
swift-changing society of the
1970’5.
But the Presidents recogni
tion of the problems and his pro
posals for reform have had no
apparent effect on Capitol Hill.
The reforms are meeting with de
lay, are being ignored, or are
being twisted into programs that
do not fill the bill. The im
pression of many observers is
that the majority of Congress is
unwilling to act even in areas
where action is greatly needed.
As Congress left Washington
for a month it left the following
bills languishing in committees:
Government reorganization,
Selection Service amendments,
Social Security reforms, new con
trols on pesticides, strip-mining
legislation, Federal , Executive
Service Act, national land use
policy legislation, hazardous sub
stances and noise control acts,
land and water conservation
funds,' power plant siting and
ocean dumping legislation, new
water quality standards, health
maintenance organizations and
assistance act, waste treatment
garnts and financing authority,
higher education opportunity act,
general revenue sharing, several
special revenue 1 .sharing pack
ages, and a new wilderness pre
servation act.'
That is not a complete list but
is a representative one. It is
legislation which deserves action.
Certainly it is legislation which
has bad adequate time for at
least some movement because
much of it has been in the mill
for better than two years.
There are many of us who
have urged the congressional

It can be hoped that when we
return from recess in September,
the legislative logjam will be
broken. Meanwhile, we are sad
dled with programs that have
failed people and that will con
tinue to fall short of their pur
pose until they are abolished or
reformed. It is time for the
Federal Government to recognize
that its future role must be one
of increased effectiveness. And,
sadly enough, it appears that it
is the Congress which must be
kicking and screaming into that
future.

If you’re not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dairy Conditioner Special with
your own grain to build a research
proved dry cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is a 16 percent
protein ration, fortified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guard against milk fever.
To help you save on dry cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends' varying
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages.*
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and your roughages are of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality.

Using Purina Check-R-Jlix* formulas we
can build you a low-cost dry cow ration,
combining Purina Dairy Conditioner
with your grain. Or, if you’re feeding
low-protein roughages, it may pay you
to feed Dairy Conditioner “straight”
just as it comes from the bag.
More and more successful area dairymen
are proving that good dry cow feeding
pays off in extra cow condition and
extra milk production in the next lacta
tion. For example, 100 to 200 pounds of
additional body weight at freshening can
pay off in 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of extra
milk during the lactation.

the Purina Dry Cow Program folder
We’ll be glad to point out how Purina
Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
pare your dry cows for good production
at low cost.
