1st Session of 98th Congress a mixed bag
In the weeks and months since
this first session of the 9 8 th (. on-
gress began back in January, I have
written weekly on the issues and
legislation that has come before the
nation and Congress. The work on
these concerns never really ceases,
and the process o f legislating con
tinues whether Congress is in session
or n o l.
But the adjournment of the ses
sion provides us with a clear vantage
point from which we can look back
and see what Congress has— and has
not— addressed and what issues still
must be pursued to their conclusion
when Congress reconvenes in Jan
uary, 1984.

U nfortunately, the "has not ac
complished" side o f the ledger
sports some rather large items, in
cluding the $200 billion deficit.
The failure o f this Congress to act
on whittling down the deficit de
monstrates a lack o f political will on
the part o f the House, '.he Senate
and the Administration to take the
necessary difficult steps. Now , the
conventional wisdom tells us, no ac
tion will be taken until after the
1984 elections.
I think this is unacceptable. We
have to put every government pro-
