Commenting on specific
pending legislation, Congress-

these budget cuts. He express-
ed the hope that the civil rights
controversy would shortly be
resolved.

Congressman Clark W.
Thompson, of Galveston Coun-
ty, this week announced that
he had filed for renomination
with the Democratic Chairmen
of the 15 Counties of the 9th
District. Congressman Thomp-
son, now completing his tenth
term, has served in the 73rd
Congress and the 80th through
88th Congresses. He is a mem-
ber of the powerful Ways and
Means Committee.
“The people of the 9th Con-
gressional District have honor-
ed me with re-election through
the years. They have made a
continuing investment in the
seniority which is so essential
to success for a member of
Congress,” said Mr. Thompson.
“Our influence and prestige in
Washington have grown along
with our seniority; and with
each succeeding year, it be-
comes easier for the 9th Dis-
trict to have those things which
it desires.
“Our public works projects
are all proceeding most satis-
factorily . Agricultural legisla-
tion, which we have sought,
has all been accomplished.
These accomplishments provide
year in Victoria County. My
family and I are members of
the Catholic church. I am mar-
ried to the former Edna
Proschko of Shiner and have a
son and daughter. My parents'
are the late Mr. and Mrs. Joe
F. Roznovsky of Shiner.
I am confident that I will be
able to perform the duties ex-
pected of me as your county
commissioner. I am at present
and have been for the past 16
years, employed in this precinct
under commissioner, Joe H.
Kouba. I have operated every
piece of equipment in the
county, but for 13 years I have
mainly operated the road main-
tainer.

Speaking of health care for
the elderly, Mr. Thompson said:
“My position in regard to
health care has not changed in
the slightest. I have always
believed that it is essential
for the elderly to have proper
and self-respecting assistance
in their health care problems.
If the legislation now on the
books proves to be inadequate,
then we must look further for
the solution.”
Congressman T h o m p s o n’s
statement concluded: “Because
seniority plays such an impor-
tant part in the Congress and
because it comes only through
continuity in office, I feel it is
not only my duty but the high-
est kind of a privilege to again
offer my service to the people
of our District. My seniority
belongs to the people; and it is
for them to say whether they
wish to continue it. I like my
work, and I like the people
for whom I work. I expect to
continue my services as long
as I am wanted.”
