JEFFREY DENTIST M M U I B U IID IN C S W 3 rd A M a r r ,i o n S a rtlo n U , O r e g o n P hone: SMITH'S THE $10 BILLION TREASURE CHEST W ASHING TON At the same lime that Congress is moving to enact revenue sharing legislation that will provide $5 5 billion to help alleviate (he financial bankruptcy which is choking our cities and slates, nearly twice that amount in money already appropriated is being held in reserve by the Office of Management and Budget. Much of this SlO-plus billion is (or was) destined Io aid cities and slates in regional development projects, urban mass transit, water and sewer grants, rural electrification development, and Ihe like. Now, as a result of Ihe impounding, critical needs such as water and sewage treatment are not being adequately met, and with each passing day of delay Ihe costs for providing these necessary ser vices go up along with Ihe price of everything else The surprising thing is that Congress has never acted to prevent impounding, a power which has been misused by Presi dents Republicans and Democrats alike since World War II As recently as Sep tember 8, Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), himself a former Presidential candidate, introduced legislation re quiring detailed reports on all impounded funds His modes! proposal was rejected, apparently on the somewhat defeatist reasoning (hat the House wouldn't go along with it anyway, so why bother and possibly jeapordize revenue sharing in Ihe process. Such an attitude will hardly discourage ihe <)MH from continuing and even step- ping up its impounding Activities Among ihe funds currently being held captive are $300 million for urban mass transit. $122 million for airport and airway facilities, $ 105 million for model cities, $40 million for Appalachian re gional development, $550 million for water and sewer grants, $107 million for rural electrifi cation; $21 million for educational support to Ihe National Science Foundation These funds were scooped up by the I reasury without so much as a by-your- leave from Congress. It was done without notification and without publication in what Humphrey called "a type o f line- item veto on congressional appropri ations." thus the will of Congress is thwarted and its authority in this case Ihe respon sibility to appropriate public funds is further eroded. The pendulum of power, already heavily weighted in favor of the executive, swings even further in that direction, and Congress comes off as a loser unwilling to live up to its Constitu tional obligations. But Ihe real losers are those residents of cities and towns who continue to suffer from lack of adequate water and sewer facilities, delapidated housing, criti cal power shortages, and substandard schools. Both the President and Congress must share responsibility for this situ ation the former for using the people’s money to build an executive treasure chest, and the latter for letting him get away with it. ©Copyright IV 7J by W A S H IN G T O N W E E K L Y .
