PHONE EM 41 KNIGHT'S CONOCO SERVICE Brad Knight Phone EM 3-06- 60 Fast, Friendly Service 784 No. 2nd West With the current session of Congress barely under way, it is already apparent that we are in for one of the busiest sessions weve had in a long time. And one of the most interesting. This became evident when the Presidents State of the Union message was read to Congress last week. The program outlined in that message covers a wide range of subjects, many of them highly controversial. Particularly hot issues will be the Presidents school construction program, the soil bank plan, public housing, and revision of the Immigration Act. Another controversial bUl wiU be one which is of special interest to the West the Upper Colorado River Storage Project. The Presidents strong recommendation for passage of this biU should increase its chances of getting through the House, but opposition to it is still great, and we cannot afford to relax our efforts in behalf of this vital biU. The State of the Union message was, I thought, a forthright and statesmanlike analysis of our problems and the solutions to those problems. It is the strong program of a strong President. Particularly gratifying is the fact that the President expects a balanced budget during this fiscal year, but does not rule out the possibility of reduction in personal income taxes. No sooner had the President's address been read than we began work on the legislation he and, of course, other requested not included in his legislation have I attended a nummessage. ber of committee meetings already, and we have made specific plans for consideration of sev. eral measures of interest to Utah particularly sugar and silver, both of which should be disposed of early in the session. I also introduced a new bill to require the Defense Department to consider the principle of dispersion in location of new defense industries. This will prevent greater concentration of industry in the already crowded sections of the country notably the East and West Coasts. In addition to my legislative activities during the past week, there has been one other matter which has taken up a certain amount of my time if I may be permitted a personal note. My ninth grandchild was born here in Washington this week, and Ive had a bit of to do along with my senatorial chores. Mother and daughter are both doing well.. During the weeks to come we are going to take up a number of bills of interest to Utahns. I hope my constituents will feel free to write to me whenever they have information or opinions which will help me reach a. decision on the issues coming up baby-sittin- g in Congress.
