ie St) 1m! LLL OUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS: By CLAIR ENGLE LL TE ay Ry eae ECE RAST : A Visit With the President > Iam always amazed at the ability of President Truman to carry the load of responsibility he has and stand up under the pressure of his office without showing the fatigue or worry he must feel. Last week Congresswoman Helen Douglas and I went down to Valley Project, a bill which I co-authored. When we were ushered into the president’s office by Matt Connelly, his secretary, the president was not in the room, but apparently in a side office which leads off from the large oval office used by the presidents for many years for the transaction of business. Connelly went out to inform the president that we were there and he immediately came through the door, strode briskly across the room looking bouyant and full of good spirits. He still has some of his summer’s tan and appeared a little heavier than when I saw him last. As we sat down I told the president ‘that the purpose of our visit was to urge him to Sign the canal legislation for northern California; and of its tremendous importance to the people in that area. He looked at Matt Connelly and said, “Well, where is the bill”—indicating that he was ready to sign it right then without any further discussion. I was very pleased by this turn of events, but Connelly said that the usual departmental reports hadn’t gotten over to the White House yet. _However I feel that: our mission was accomplished and that the bill will be signed. Under Heavy Pressure Photographers were called «in and the president and Mrs. Douglas was seated at his desk while I stood behind and between them. , While the photographers were shooting the pictures, the president picked up his schedule for the day, which was a long list of callers —arranged approximately at fifteen minute intervals. , He said that he hardly had time to turn around and there were so many people who wanted to see him. that it was difficult to get his work done. He mentioned that he was working on a message to congress. We, of course, knew that it was the veto message on the McCarran Communist control bill. He remarked that he was sending us a strong message and that he had never believed in being a “trimmer.” He said that all his life he had always taken a position and stood on it —from the time he was first elected to any public office, as indicated in that original certificate. He further stated that to him the first ten amendments to the constitution were more important than all of the rest of it put together. As you know, the first ten amendments are the Bill of Rights—and the president seems to feel that the bill passed by congress to control Communists goes too far and would jeopardize some of the basic rights guaranteed to our citizens under the constitution. Congress Adjourns After I left the White House I hurried back to the House Office Building were the House sessions were held in a committee room while the regular chamber of the capitol is being renovated. With the most pressing legislation acted upon, the House and Senate leadership agreed to adjourn at the close of the session on Saturday, Sept. 23—to reconvene Nov. 27. This closes the longest, -and—in some ways the most trying session of congress since the war, and needless to say I am looking forward to getting home to California and the Second District.
