district — and we must never
forget it.
Rural arc as and small towns
will also benefit from a new
law to encourage the const Tact-
ion of central water and sani-
tation systems. This program ex-
pands the previous authority of
the Farmers Home Administrat-
ion to make and insure loans for
these purposes in communities of
undei a.aOO population. This is an
especially ;,'< *! program for our
smaller communities.
IIOI SING
In the field of housing, we
adopted a S7 - billion program
which provides better bousing for !
the elderly, college students, vet-
erans, and rural families. It im-
proves the urban renewal law j
and authorizes grants for water
antl sewer facilities, neighbor-
hood centers, and parks and play
grounds. De deleted the rent sub
sidy part of the housing appro-
priation bill — and I voted to
delete it — just as I had voted
against the rent subsidy section
earlier in the session.
A sepearate but related piece
•if legislation establishes a new
Department of Housing and Ur-
ban Development. This will con-
centrate at the cabinet level the
government efforts to help solve
the many major problems of the
urban communities, where 70 per
cent of our people now live.
I'OVKRTY
Congress approved several bills
to aid in the War on Poverty. We
extended and expanded the pro-
gram first adopted last year to
establish Job Corps camps, such
as we have in San Marcos, and
to work in those areas where
thousands of Americans have
known neither hop*1 nor oppor-
tunity. We retained our Gover-
nor's riirht to veto — which I
supported — and I think it was
a most significant victory to in-
sure proper state and iocal co-
ordination. I was one of the few
members to speak on thi1 Floor
of the House in favor of this re-
tention
We continued the Manpower
Development and Training Act to
help the unskilled fine new jobs
and passed the "Public Works
and Kionomic Development Act
i KDA — this replaces the old
\R.\i Tins new law authorizes
loans and grants to depressed
areas crippled by hi^h unem-
ployment and low aicome.
They include:
1. A new immigration law to
replace t h e "national origins
quota system with an admission
policy based on needed skills and
the reuniting e' families.
2. A Voting Rights bill to as-
sure the basic right of every
i| alified ci i/en to choose his
elected representatives.
.'I. An across-the-board ,'!.l> per
cent pay raise for Civil Service.
I*>stal. and other Federal em-
ployees.
I. Kestablishing a 3-day work-
week for postmasters in first,
second and third-class post offi-
ces.
5. Creating a National Founda-
tion on the Arts ami Humanities.
6. A proposed Constitutional
Amendment providing for suc-
cession of the Vice President
when the President becomes dis-
abled.
7. Highway Beautlfieation and
scenic development.
8. Expanding research on the
conversion of saline water.
9. Autliorizing water develop-
ment planning by States and riv-
er basin commissions.
10. A 6-to-ll percent increase
in retirement benefits of Federal
employees.
II. A 10 per cent increase in
retirement benefits of Federal
employees.
12. Provision of funds for crime
studies and the training of law
enforcement personnel in crime
prevention.

LOCAL
Of particular interest to the
10th District were bills to locate
the Lyndon B. Johnson Presi-
dential Library at the Universi-
ty of Texas and to authorize Fe-
deral participation in the 1968
HemisFair at San Antonio. I co-
sponsored the first measure and
joined my Sun Antonio colleague.
Henry B. Gonzales, in supporting
the second in House debate. Both
of these will mean a great deal
to the culture and economy of
Central Texas.
The enrollment at Camp Gary,
San Marcos, is now approximate-
ly 2,000 boy s, and will probably
b- 3.000 by the end of this year
. . We scot the government to
donate 10 acres of campus land
(OMI.ISION
In all honesty, 1 must admit
we spent more money than we
probably should have. The day
of the $100-billion budget seems
to be gone; spending may be up
to $115-S1billion next year. One
of our greatest problems still is
facing fiscal responsibility. We
vote for bills because they are
ijood programs but without real-
ly knowing how they affect the
over-all budget.
I would like to see the Federal
government follow the "pay-as-
we-go" approach used by the
State of Texas. Perhaps we could
pass authorization bills during
the first six months of the session
and the appropriation bills in the
last :10 days, shaving the latter to
fit the income, just as our famil-
ies must do. It is not an easy
matter to solve, but I am going
to continue working on it.
NEW DISTRICT
I am grateful for the privilege
of serving as your Congressman
and hope that I can hear from
many of you in the weeks ahead.
You will remember that our dis-
trict will probably be enlarged
next session when we will have
added to the historic 10th District
five excellent counties — Austin,
Colorado, Fayette, Waller and
Wharton. Our offices are now
open in Austin, and we will be
glad to see any of you.
