Lawmaker has low passing record
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) —
U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman’s
numerous initiatives had little
actual impact, by one account, on
changing the nation’s laws during
the last session.
Only one of the more than a
dozen bills Stockman introduced
in Congress’ 104th Session came
to a vote, according to the Beau-
I mont Enterprise-Journal.
But Stockman believes his bills
did influence House debate.
Stockman filed 13 bills during
the two-year session.
The House approved one, elimi-
nating some congressional com-
mittees.
Another bill repealing the ban
on “assault weapons” emulated a
Stockman initiative, but was not
sponsored by the Republican rep-
resentative.
His 11 other bills never made it
to the House floor for a vote.
This is not abnormal for any
congressional freshman, according
to Stockman’s chief of staff Cory
Birenbaum.
“Freshmen have the ability to
influence legislation, but their leg-
islation is almost never introduced
as law,” he said. “Mr. Stockman
looks at it in a way being similar to
a freshman year in high school or
college where you really become
acclimated to a new lifestyle.”
The new lifestyle has left Stock-
man a better congressman in Octo-
ber of 1996 than he was in January
of 1995, Birenbaum said.
Stockman’s major piece of legis-
lation, an effort to give “regulatory
relief” to petrochemical plants and
refineries, died in committee when
the House adjourned this past Fri-
day. The bill set out to preserve
jobs, but remained without a single
lawmaker as a cosponsor.
“I think overall, you’re on a
team, and for any one member of
the team to say they did this or that
is false,” Stockman said.

MADD reports decrease in donations
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —
Officials of Mothers Against
Drunk Driving say it’s unfortunate
that the organization’s revenues
fell last year at a time that dona-
tions to the nation’s top 100 non-
profit groups actually rose by
nearly 10 percent.
YMCA of the USA retained its
No. 1 ranking with more than $2
billion in revenues, The Arlington
Morning News reported, quoting
a new study by an industry publi-
cation.
Boy Scouts of America, based
in Irving, placed ninth with $513
million, and the American Heart
Association, whose headquarters
are in Dallas, came in 19th with
almost $318 million.
MADD, which was 84th in
1995, received $4 million less in
public donations than the previous
year and dropped out of the top
100, according to the study, due
out in the November issue of the
NonProfit Times.
