Congressman Fkyd Wk Fithian -JgUßa • Reports

Especially now, as we celebrate the beginning of our third century of nationhood, we realize that America’s future lies in the youth of today. Unless we shape the proper moral and political climate in our nation now, our young people will not be prepared to lead this country to the bright future which we all envision. It is the responsibility of the home, the church and the school to establish this climate, and we in public life should support those institutions in whatever way we can. The future belongs to them, and we today must set the moral tone to prepare them for their responsibilities tomorrow. I spent 16 years in the classroom, teaching American history to young people. I’ve learned to respect their views highly, and one of my most enjoyable tasks as a congressman is visiting schools through the second district to speak with students about their government. Recently I received 160 letters from a group of junior high students in Kosciusko county. They wrote with great insight about a multitude of issues, ranging from the energy shortage to crime to waste in government. Many of their comments, in my opinion, are worthy of our consideration in thinking about what America is doing today and what it should be doing in the future. One perceptive young lady wrote, “In my opinion, the worst problem in the United States is the lack of discipline — to all degrees — in the government, in the courts and in the home." I

fullyagree. Wasteful government spending bothered one young man. He wrote, “There are a lot of your fellow congressmen who are spending literally millions of dollars on projects that aren't wcrth the price. ... I wish you could stand out and bug those guys to get them to do a project that’s worth the time and money." After discovering some of the senseless areas in which our tax dollars have been squandered. I believe that he hit the nail on the head with that comment. Our natural environment concerned many of the young people. One girl wrote to me, “I think the biggest problem is pollution. It seems like a lot of people don’t care, but I think it's just that they aren’t aware of how much damage they’re doing by polluting the air while they’re driving down the road or how much damage they’re doing to the water by having their sewage system empty into a lake.*’ Another young person obviously had seen his family’s utility bill. He wrote, “Why are the taxes and NIPSCo (rates) and others I won’t mention so high? We’re looking for a home, and they’re too expensive.” Fighting for lower utility rates, I told him in my response to his letter, is one of my chief legislative priorities in Washington. Yowig people such as these are found throughout the second district. We’re lucky to have them. They give me confidence in our future as a natidh, for they are being well prepared to be the leaders of tomorrow.
