Last spring, for. example, Conservatives in the House succeeded in attaching to the State Department appropriations bill a rider that would have forbidden the expenditure of federal funds for a surrender of the Canal, But when the Senate balked at this tough approach, the House caved in and on October 7th accepted compro- mise language that lets the State De- - billion of your tax money for federal loans to troubled Gotham.

Abzug (D.-NeYork), dispensed $10 million of your taxes to host a national womens conference in 1976. Arranging the festivities is the National Commission for the Observance of International Womens Year, chaired by Ms. Jill Ruckelshaus, which has already trumpeted its endorsement of abortion, government day-car- e cenand the ters, patently phony Equal Rights Amendment.

H.R. 5901, Sex Discrimination in Schools. Under the guise of ensuring equal educational opportunity for women, the Department of H.E.W. has whimsically ordered that federally aided schools can no longer conduct separate gym classes for boys and girls. Last spring the late Congressman Bob Casey (D. Texas) tried to oust Big Brother from the nations locker rooms with this amendment to the H.E.W. appropriations bill. However, Senator Edward Brooke persuaded the Upper Chamber on July 17th to scotch it by a vote of 65 to 29.

Congressional Liberals freely admit that those countless federal agencies they created to serve the public interest really dont serve the public interest at all. Rather than peeling away some of the excess layers of bureaucracy, the collectivists would like to solve the problem by stacking a brand-neconsumer agency on top of the existing commissions, boards, and administrations. Supposedly the consumer office, staffed by fanatical Naderite lawyers, would guard the common citizens interest where the other bureaucracies have failed. In point of fact, the agency would put Naders Raiders on the government payroll and make their radical lobbying a' government activity.
