Report from Washington By Congressman Dave Martin Fourth District, Nebraska Congress recently increased the Federal debt limit from $298 bil lion to $300 billion, with another request to raise it to $308 billion expected this summer. It is well to note that the Federal budget has been balanced only six times during the last 32 years. Further more, the current fiscal year will probably produce a deficit of $7 billion. I recognize that during a national emergency deficit finan cing is a necessity, but now we are observing some of the most prospeious years in the history of our country and most cer tainly we should have our na tional treasury in balance. It is predicted that this year may see economic activity in the United States reach the highest point in history; yet we may have defi cit if the innumerable domestic programs — programs coating billions of dollar* — are enacted into law. 1 hope that the Con gress can hold the line and re ject roost of these programs. Interest on the national debt continues to be the largest ap propriation for a single item in the entire Federal budget. The interest for 1963 is estimated to be $9,300,000,000 an increase of *400 million over the current es timated interest for fiscal year 1962. This item alone is greater than the entire Federal budget in 1940, and costs the taxpayers $17,600 every sixty seconds. This headlong drive toward bank ruptcy and the saddling of this debt on oar children must stop. We must face up to it NOW and call a halt. Headline in the Sunday Wash ington Post, Washington, D. C.: "US. SEEKS NEW OFFICE SPACE HERE FOR 5500 MORE WORKERS" "Bids will be opened April 25 cn one million square feet of new Federal office space within a four mile radius of the White House.” The article goes on to say that this will take the entire area of four to five new office buildings and will mean approxi mately 5500 more Federal work ers. I think we need less Fed eral employees, rather than more. J know that ye, in Nebraska would get along better tf we had fewer Federal programs, and consequently, fewer Federal em ployees to tell us how to run our business. President Kennedy last week announced that the U. S. would resume atmospheric nuclear tests. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle agreed with this decision 1. too, back the President, fur scientists tell us that the only way we can progress m this field is by ac tual tests. In vuw of the fact that Russia exploded some 50 nuclear bombs last fall and gained ad vanced knowledge from them, it is imperative that we resume test ing. The dangers from Commu nism are too great to take chan ces. Last Friday, 1 apjieared before a House Agriculture Subcommit tee in order to testify in behall of the Gering Valley Watershed and Flood Control Project. Flood water cming down from the bluffs has caused millions of dol lars of damage over ihe Iasi 20 years and future heavy rains in this area will cause additional untold losses. In 1058 funds were approved for a start on this work, which have not been spent awaiting final aiiprova! of the joint project. This, I hope, will come shortly.
