Some lawmakers don’t like skimpy breakfasts they get at White House
By DONALD M. ROTHBERG
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - If
Jimmy Carter sincerely wants
to get along better with Con
gress, he might try serving big
ger breakfasts when he invites
lawmakers to morning meet
ings at the White House.
Rep. Otis G. Pike, D-N.Y., is
the latest congressman to com
plain about the food at break
fast meetings with the Presi
dent.
Pike was one of the members
of the House Ways and Means
Committee invited to have
“breakfast with the President
in the State Dining Room.”
“One knew that the President
was a peanut fanner,” said
Pike. “Everyone knows that
farmers rise early, eat hearty
breakfasts, and launch into
backbreaking labors.
“One visualizes mounds of
pungent sausage and bacon and
ham, mountains of scrambled
eggs, piles of grits dappled with
butter. One visualizes the crisp
white linens, he sparkling crys
tal, the crested silverware — all
of the accoutrements of
gracious living.
“That’s what one visualizes

okay, but it sure wasn’t break
fast.”
On the subject of food, the
people who run the restaurants
on the Senate side of the Capitol
complex circulate a mim
eographed flyer called the Sen
ate Gastronome.
The Gastronome lists the
items to be featured each day of
the week in the cafeterias and
dining rooms.
It also contains comments on
sundry developments in feed
service in the Capitol, such as
the introduction of a frozen yo
gurt machine:
“A new frozen yogurt (fro
zurt) machine has landed in the
snack bar in the Capitol. YUM
YUM YOGURT!”
Like thousands of other
people who live in Northern
Virginia and work in Washing
ton, Floyd Fithian rides the bus.
Fithian works on Capitol Hill.
His job: Democratic con
gressman from Indiana.
Fithian is a recent convert to
mass transportation. During his
first two years in the House,
Fithian lived in a bachelor
apartment within walking dis
tance of the Capitol. After he
was re-elected last November,

Capitol.
“I would never vote another
single dollar for expansion of
parking lots assigned to federal
employes,” vows Fithian, who
also is thinking about relin
quishing the five spaces alloted
to his congressional office.
During the long Senate debate
on the neutron bomb, sup
porters of the weapon argued
that it would deter a Soviet at
tack on Western Europe.
Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho,
suggested that if the Russians
had any common sense they
wouldn’t need a neutron bomb
to discourage them.
‘Who, for example, would
want to govern the French?”
asked the senator. “Even the
French are hard pressed to
govern the French.
“And what of the Italians?
What government with a modi
cum of good sense would wish
upon itself the task governing
Italy?”
One senator’s debate may be
another’s filibuster. Or, so it
seemed, as the debate on the
neutron bomb went on for five
days.
The opponents insisted they
were not filibustering. Many of
them were people who often
support motions to break fili
busters carried on traditionally
by Southern Democrats.
So it fell to conservative Sen.
Barry Goldwater to threaten to
move to cut off debate. Nor
mally, Goldwater opposes
moves to end filibusters.
A supporter of the neutron
bomb, Goldwater got to his feet
late one afternoon and said “If
this is not a filibuster, it’s a
doggone good imitation of one.”
The Arizona Republican said
he was ready to reverse his
usual position and join other
senators in forcing a vote to end <
debate.
