rationing, it's just a means of
evening out the sale of gas, to
make buying more con
venient for everybody. I
know in Washington, we had
lines that stretched out for
blocks, and a lot of people in
those lines were buying one
or two gallons. They just
wanted to top off their
tanks.”
Asked about his im
pressions of President
Nixon, Eshelman replied,
“He’s basically an honest
person, and he’s very con
cerned about the future of
America. He’s aged
tremendously in the past
year, I think. Watergate has
been hard on the nation, but
it’s been hard on him, too.”
Will Watergate affect the
elections this November?
“There is, admittedly, a lack
of credibility in the federal
government, because of
Watergate and other mat
ters. This might affect some
Congressional districts, but I
don’t think the voters are
going to blame Republican
incumbents for Watergate. I
can’t see where Watergate is
going to have that much of
an effect on the election.
People don’t behave stupidly
in the voting booth. They
cast their ballots on the basis
of individuals and issues.”
Impeachment, of course,
was one of the questions
raised during the con
ference. “I think the
judiciaiy committee is going
to recommend impeachment
to the House in April or May.
But, I would have to say that
right now, today, I don’t
believe there are enough
votes in the House to im
peach the President.”
Would Eshelman vote for
impeachment? ‘‘lf there
were evidence of criminal
action on the part of the
President, I would have to
vote for impeachment. It
would be my duty, and I
wouldn’t like to do it, but I
would. And when I say
evidence, I mean hard, solid
evidence, not the emotional
accusations we’ve been
hearing. I know that the
President’s popularity has
been going down at the polls,
but I feel that in Penn
sylvania’s 16th
Congressional District, my
district, the people still favor
Nixon by at least a small
majority.”
“I don’t mean by that," he
added, ‘‘that my vote for or
against impeachment would
be based on popular opinion.
There are two ways to vote in
Congress. One way is as an
agency of the people, where I
vote the way people in my
district want me to vote. And
there are trustee votes,
where I vote according to
what I think is right. I
consider the matter of im
peachment a trustee vote.”
Moving on to more local
matters, the Congressman
said he feels local govern
ments as a whole have been
using federal revenue
sharing funds wisely.
“Revenue sharing was set up
to give local governments a
chance to set their own
priorities,” he said.
“There’ll always be
disagreement about the way
the funds are spent, but
that’s democracy in action.
Some boroughs or townships
might see the need for new
police cruisers, others might
feel strongly about im
plementing some kind of
innovative social programs.
The important thing about
revenue sharing is that it
gives local governments a
chance to decide how the tax
money is spent.”
Can anything be done to
save farmland and other
open space in Lancaster
County and throughout the
Northeast? “Some planners
see solid development from
Boston to Washington by the
year 2000. They don’t see any
farms left by then. I think we
can avoid that. I certainly
hope we can. One thing we’ll
need is some kind of tax
concession for farmers.

Eshelman also touched on
another farm and food price
issue, the Russian wheat
deal of last year. Many
experts felt that the sale of
grain to Russia seriously
intensified the pressure on
food prices in this country,
and eventually spawned the
rumor that bread prices
could go to a dollar a loaf.
“First of all,” Eshelman
said, “wheat isn’t what sent
bread prices up. Middleman
profits are responsible.
Wheat accounts for only a
small portion of the price of a
loaf of bread.
“We made some mistakes
in our sale to Russia, but
we’ll never make them
again,” he concluded.
