a e: . = By CONGRESSMAN HAROLD T. (Bizz) JOHNSON The State of the Union Message was significant, as far as the Second Congressional District is concerned, both for what it contained and for what it did not contain. First of all, I am extremely pleased that the President has promised that the year 1972 will see the end of our involvement in the Vietnam war. I hope that this means a complete withdrawal from this troubled, war-torn nation and the earlier in 1972 the better. Secondly, I was gratified at the recognition which the President gave to the problems of rural America, While he did not come up with any specific proposals as how to solve these problems, mention of rural America in the State of the Union Message is the first, tentative step toward facing up to and solving the problems of our rural areas, which have -become the forgotten regions of the nation. Recognition also was given to the plight of the farmer, witha promise of improved conditions. I am well aware of the difficulties the stockmen, the growers of grains, specialty and other crops in the Second District, are facing and I sincerely hope that agriculture is one area where. both the Administration and the Congress will turn these early comments into positive action. One other area where we must turn words into work is that involving local taxation and the costs of operating our schools, As.a property owner myself, I am well aware of the pressure which local property owners feel as taxes mount and mount. At the same time, we cannot permit our educational systems to suffer for a good education for all our people is the foundation for solutions of all our problems, We cannot afford to waste any of our most precious resource, !

Sound conservation and wise utilization of these resources is essential if we are to meet the needs of the nation, including housing, food, fiber, and manufactured This nation’s strength was built upon our abundant natural resources which we must continue to conserve and develop if the nation and its economy is to continue to grow.
