Aspermont has always recog-
nized tho existing or potential
contribution of Texas' older
population and realize the
debt owed by all Texans foi
their role in building Texas

State and City it is today.
We must utilize this vast
reservoir of talent, ability and
experience through which our

nate the month of May, 1969

Cong. Graham Purcell Opposes
Cutoff of Brush Control Funds
WASHINGTON, D. C. —
North Texas Congressman
Graham Purcell today criti-
cized the Nixon Administration
budget for its attempted cut'
off of funds for brush control
In Texas, and moved to re-
Insert the appropriation for
brush control into the 1970
Department of Agriculture
Budget.
Purcell, in a message de-
livered today to each Member
of the House Agriculture Ap-
propriations Subcommittee,
stated that he was "very dis-
turbed over the possibility that
the Agricultural Conservation
Program would not be funded
In 1970."
"In my district," Purcell
wrote, "where brush eradi-
cation has been of such vital
importance, the program has
been extremely well received.
The cost-sharing features of
tho program have enabled
hundreds of farmers and
ranchers to turn arid, brush
choked land into usable pas-
ture and farmland.
"Without wanting to sound
too dramatic," Purcell con-
tinued, "but still reflect my
concern, 1 can visualize all the
advances that have toon made
In Texas toward brush con-
trol being totally undone with-
out this money."
The brush eradication pro-
gram of the Agricultural Con
servation Program pays land-
owners in many Texas coun-
ties up to one-half their cost
in clearing the land of chok-
ing brush. The Johnson Ad-
ministration budget continued

stration's new budget deleted
entirely all appropriations for

"I hope you will consider this
my personal plea that the
Subcommittee on Agricultural
Appropriations take the lead
in reinserting an adequate
amount to offset the disas-
trous effect this budget could
produce to the Southwestern
United States," Purcell con-
cluded.
The Subcommittee on Agri-
culture Appropriations is ex-
pected to make its final recom-
mendations prior to June 1.)
