Congressman t Floyd MM | ■ Fithian WK I 1 Reports -
My fight against the federal energy administration involved a good deal of my time during the past couple of months, but it was worth the effort. As a result of passage of the Fithian amendment, the FEA will close its doors in 18 months, rather than getting the 39 month extension favored by the administration and congressional leadership. Becuase of this limit on the energy bureaucracy’s life, American taxpayers will be saved about $750 million. It wasn’t an easy battle. I was faced with firm opposition from the leadership of both parties in the House and from some of my onw Hoosier colleagues. Structuring the battle against FEA took hours of my time. But I felt that the fight was worth all that I could give it. The FEA, I frequently told my colleagues, is one bureaucracy we can do without. It has overstepped its ethical bounds, violated the law by illegally lobbying congress and wastefully squandered taxpayers’ money. It has performed as a puppet of big oil while allowing fuel prices to almost double. We should have eliminated it altogether. I was joined by Congresswoman Pat Schroeder of Colorado in my effort to kill the FEA outright. When that failed, my a mendament to end the FEA in 18 months passed the house by about 20 votes Fortunately, a broad crosssection of my colleagues joined me in standing up against those who aren’t concerned about government spending and bureaucratic abuse. Many other bureaucracies should have “sunset clauses’’ written into their charters which would cause the agencies to

expire. It’s simply time for those who are willing to take action against the entrenched federal bureaucracy to stand up and be counted, by supporting this type of legislation. In my Washington office there is a plaque which reads, “To be able to lead others, a man must be willing to go forward alone.” When we began our fight against the federal energy administration, we stood almost alone against powerful political farces. Our success in limiting the life of the FEA should serve as a signal to those who have not yet heeded the message which the American people are sending to Washington these days. That message is that the federal bureaucracy has gone too far and its wings must be clipped. Special interest influence in government, too, will meet its match if the people demand it. The success in fighting the federal energy administration is an indication of the shape of things to come. The battle against bureaucracy has only begun. Booked on forgery charges David Allen Stump, 19, of 419 East Boston street in Syracuse, was booked at the county jail Monday on a charge of forgery, in connection with two checks cashed at the Walgreen store in North Webster.

Other checks are reported as outstanding and have not been processed by the bank, according to county detectives.
