Dear Friends:
Mr. Ponce is in the Waco
Office this week since the
Congress is recessed in recog-
nition of Lincoln's birthday.
Ho asked me to write this
week's Newsletter. Having
previously been with the House
Agriculture Committee I have
had the unique experience of
serving on the staffs of both
of Mr. Poage's offices here in
Washington. Perhaps some of
you might be interested in a
brief summary of the work of
these two offices. '
(ml
The House Committee on Ag-
riculture: At the beginning of
the 90th Congress in January
of 1SG7 Mr. Poage became
the Chairman of this vital
committee which is classified
as one of the "major" commit
tees of the Congress. The Con
gressmen serving on this Com
mittoe have a wide diversity of
backgrounds and not all re
present rural disnqts as we
might assume. Four members
of the committee are from Tex-
as; 3 from California; 2 each
from Mississippi Pennsylvan-
ia North Carolina New York
Washington and Virginia; one
each from Iowa Minnesota
North Dakota Indiana Kan-
sas South Carolina Kentucky
Missouri
Oklahoma and
CONGRESSMAN
BOB POAOE
I Georgia Arkansas
Louisiana
Ohio.
During the last Congress
the Speaker referred some Gil
bills to the Agriculture Com-
Vnittce. On many of these bills
the Full Committee and its
Subcommittees held a total of
18G sessions of public hearings.
In addition a great many ex-
ecutive meetings were con-
ducted. Forty-nine of these
bills were passed by the Com-
mitteo and eventually became
law. One was vetoed by the
President. The laws varied
from relatively minor land
transactions to a one year ex-
tension of our major agricul-
tural price support programs.
A few of the subjects the
committee considers are: ag-
ricultural credit; rural water
and sower programs; forests;
crop insurance; agricultural
export programs; animal wel
fare; rural electric and tele
phone financing; food stamp
and commodity donations for
the needy; and of course our
basic price support programs.
However the Committee is
only one of Mr. Poage's re-
sponsibilities. The Congressional Office:

trict contained 389954 people
according to the 1960 census.
It is estimated approximately
450000 folks live there now.
The district's eleven counties
contain some 9242 square
miles. It stretches north past
Poolville and Springtown i n
Parker County; south to be-
low Thorndale in Milam
County east to beyond Farrar
and Ridge in Limestone and
Robertson Counties respective-
ly ; and west past Evant in Cor-
yell County.
The congressional office
works continuously with al-
most every conceivable sub
ject having to do with the Fe
deral Government and its pro-
grams. Development of the dis-
trict is a vital part of our work
and involves cooperation be-
tween Federal State and local
governments in the utilization
of appropriate governmental
assistance programs for the
betterment of the 11th Dis-
trict. A good example of this
type of cooperation is James
Connally Technical Institute
which is an asset to far more
than Central Texas.
Mr. Poage's Chairmanship
of the House Agriculture Com
mittee has not detracted from
his duties in the congressional
office. He simply devotes more
time each day in the office.
This office is here to serve
you in any manner possible. If
you plan to visit Washington
feel free to contact us in ad-
vance. Mr. Poage will be hap-
py to assist you in making res-
ervations or in suggesting tours.
Above all be sure and come by
2107 Rayburn Building and
say "hello." It's always great
to see folks from home.
