Roll Call fiSsi
By ROLLCALL REPORT
WASHINGTON - Here’s how
area members of Congress
were recorded on major roll call
votes June 5-11.
HOUSE
VETO — Failed, 278 for and
143 against, to achieve the two
thirds majority needed to over
ride President Ford’s veto of a
strip mining bill ( HR 25). When
the bill was first passed by the
House last March — in a form
stronger than that vetoed — it
had 333 supporters and 86 op
ponents.
Ford, who also vetoed a
similar measure last year, said
HR 25 would put as many as
36,000 Americans out of work,
reduce coal production and
increase utility rates.
Reps. Jack Brinkley (D-3),
Elliot I-evitas (D-4), Andrew
Young (D-5) and Bill Stuckey
(D-8) voted “yea.”
Reps. Bo Ginn (D-l), Dawson
Mathis (D-2), Lawrence
McDonald (D-7), Phil
(D-9) and Robert Stephens (D
--10) voted “nay.”
Rep. John Flynt (D-6) did not
vote.
OIL IMPORT QUOTAS —
Rejected, 185 for and 224
against, an amendment to gut
the oil import quota provision of
HR 6860, the Energy Conserva
tion and Conversion Act.
HR 6860 would limit imports
to six million barrels annually
through fiscal 1976. In later
years the volume of imported
oil would progressively
diminish.
HR 6860, the Democratic-con
trolled Congress’ “energy
plan,” is designed to make the
nation independent of foreign
energy supplies by reducing
imports and cutting domestic
usage.
Ginn, Mathis, Young,
McDonald, Stuckey, Landrum
and Stephens voted “yea.”
Brinkley and Levitas voted
"nay.”
Flynt did not vote.
OIL REVIEW — Passed, 230
for and 151 against, a bill (HR
4035) extending from Aug. 31 to
Dec. 31,1975 the expiration date
of the Petroleum Allocation Act
of 1973, a law spawned by the
energy crisis.
HR 4035 also would intensify
congressional scrutiny of Ad
ministration proposals to
“decontrol" domestic crude oil
prices. It would do this by in
creasing from five to fifteen
days the period during which
Congress can block Administra
tion crude oil decisions and
requiring the President to
justify such decisions in
writing. HR 4035 was later sent
to the Senate.
Brinkley, levitas, Flynt and
Stephens voted "yea."
McDonald, Stuckey and
Ixindrum voted “nay.”
Ginn, Mathis and Young did
not vote. ,
SENATE
HATHAWAY CONFIRMA
TION — Rejected, 40 for and 54
against, a move to recommit to
the Interior Committee — and
thus kill — President Ford’s
nomination of Stanley Hath
away to be U. S. Secretary of
the Interior. Hathaway was
then confirmed by an even
wider margin.
Talmadge and Nunn voted
“nay."
SENATE STAFF — Rejected,
47 for and 49 against, an amend
ment permitting each senator to
hire two new staff aides for each
of his committee assignments.
The committee aides were to be
separate from and in addition to
a senator’s regular office
personnel.
Talmadge and Nunn voted
“nay.”
B-IBOMBER — Rejected, 32
for and 57 against, an amend
ment to delete funds for
research and development of
the B-l aircraft, envisioned by
its supporters as the replace
ment for the B-52 bomber. The
amendment was attached to S
920, which authorizes funds for
weapons through Sept. 30, 1976.
S 920 was later passed and sent
DISCARDED TIRES
NEW YORK (UPI) - A
study by the U.S. Environmen
tal Protection Agency shows
that paving roads with used
tires is just one of the solutions
to the waste disposal problem
posed by the 200 million tire
casings abandoned every year,
reports the Tire Retread
Information Bureau.
Tire casings can also be used
to generate power and as
artificial reefs, impact absorb
ers on highways and in

Carter says housing priced out of reach
MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -
Democratic presidential hopeful
Jimmy Carter says past Repub
lican administrations have
abandoned national housing
goals and have set up an
inadequate “cure-all program”
to deal with the economic
crisis.
Carter, speaking Tuesday
before a meeting of housing
and redevelopment officials,
said housing has been priced
out of reach for many
Americans due to administra
tion policies and there is a
scarcity of homes that people
can afford.
“It was the abandonment of
our national housing goals by
the Nixon and Ford administra
tions which has led to our
present housing disaster and
which contributed to the poor
state of our economy as a
whole,” the former Georgia
governor said.
“The cure-all program pro
mised by the Republican
administration have proven
embarrassingly unwieldy and
expensive,” he said.
Carter, one of six Democrats
who have announced their
candidacy for president, said he
would create “simple, workable
housing policies” geared to the
needs of low and moderate
income people. He also said he
would provide direct federal
subsidies to get new housing
started.
“In the long run, we should
work toward providing low
income citizens with adequate
housing allowance as we junk
the present welfare mess and
build a new system,”Carter
said.
Carter’s appearance was re
garded as a vote-getting effort
for next March’s Florida
presidential preference prima
ry.
