free and independent individuals,
yet gives us the framework within
which we work in concert to accom­
plish those matters we deem to be
for the common good. And, it is
through this ingenious mechanism
of our Congress, which gives us the
right to select those who will repre­
sent us in this process, that we can
have a direct impact on the direction
of our nation’s future for the coming
year and for decades to come.

P OLLOWING the Congressional
legislative process always takes
on added meaning when it can be
observed first-hand through a visit
to Washington, D.C. This is espedally true when one can visit the na­
tion’s capital in the springtime. The
cleansing force of spring rains
brings freshness not only to the
magnificent display of budding flowers and trees, but a visible freshness
to the step and very life of this vi­
brant world center of power.
After enduring a winter as severe
as this past one, everyone in the
capital seems to blend more in tune
with this resurgence of life itself in
the 70-square mile area called the
District of Columbia, which con­
tinues to stand tall as the beacon of
freedom and hope for millions of peo­
ple throughout this world.
And, it is this freedom to express
one’s self, this hope of improving
what we have, that continues to
draw thousands of us daily and
throughout the year to this center of
We have two opportunities per­
power where 535 men and women sonally to affect this unique process.
can enact or alter the rules which The first is through our own per­
govern our daily lives in our 50 inde- sonal ballot through which we exer­
pendent states. This is, indeed, a cise our prerogative to select those
process to be treasured, for it is the who will represent us. The second is
lifeblood that allows us to remain through our freedom to keep in

touch with those we elect in order to
let them know our opinions on pro­
posals facing the Congress for de­
bate or vote. These 535 representa­
tives in the Congress are fine-tuned
to these personal contacts and con­
sider them thoroughly as they make
their serious decisions that affect all
275 million (or more) of us.
Given this marvelous process
that is unequalled elsewhere, it is
sad, indeed, to know that among us
are those who cannot find or take
the time to exercise their preroga­
tive of communicating with their
Congressmen on issues as they
arise, but often are the most vocal
critics.
However, those who do partici­
pate fully in the process find a great
inner satisfaction in knowing they
have done their part; they have ful­
filled their duties as responsible citi­
zens. And, the enjoyment of fulfill­
ing that responsibility becomes even
more exhilarating when one is privi­
leged to come to this beautiful cen­
ter of world power and watch the
process in action. It reaches an even
higher level of fulfillment when one
can take part in the process.
It’s even better when one can
achieve this in the spring! New life,
new opportunity, true continuing
freedom abound in this enigma of
red tape which is overwhelmed by
the presence of the 535 who repre­
sent us, our elected President, and
