Two hundred years ago a group of 13 American colonies were just beginning to function together. Their elected representatives were common, thrifty men who believed in watching where they spent public money. “I place economy among the first and most important virtues," Thomas Jefferson wrote in those days, "and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared." Today, our 50 states form the strongest nation in the world. Our citizens expect more of their government than colonial Americans did. so naturally more of their government than colonial Americans did. so naturally our spending has risen. But it is no less important today than in 1776 that we who represent the people remember the thrifty principles which guided our founding fathers. Wasteful government spending affects everyone, and unless we change our ways now, our children and grandchildren will pay for the way we live beyond our means today. I do not agree with those who would cut spending regardless of the consequences Nor am I so imrealistic as to think that we’ll be able to reduce spending without eliminating some desirable but costly ventures. I t is clear, however, that we can begin by saying “no” to a number of expenditures which, added together, cut a pretty sizeable chuck from our budget. Last week, for exaihple, the House was asked to approve a bill which would have authorized 25 members of Congress to travel to

England — with their spouses and supporting staff — to pick up the Magna Carta and return the document to this country for display during our Bicentennial year . . all at government expense. of course. I’m certain that this would have been a friendly gesture toward our mother country, and I’m glad that Great Britain has offered to allow us to display this historical document. This resolution was introduced at the request of the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, in fact, and it was supported by the leadership of my party. But this would have been a needless expense — costing American taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars, all told — and I voted against it. The resolution was narrowly defeated, and the leadership vowed to bring it up again. If they do. I’ll continue to oppose it. It’s simply an unnecessary waste of money. In this Bicentennial year, a better present to our American people than the Magna Carta would be some responsibility and accountability in government spending. Thomas Jefferson had some words along that line, too. He wrote, “If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they must become happy.” WAR DECLARED Henry IV of France, abandoning the fiction of periodic hostilities, on Jan. 17. 1595, declared war on Spain
