Letter from Ms. Laura J. Collins Regarding The Equal Rights Amendment

The text is a letter written by James R. Jones, a member of the Committee on Social Security in the United States Congress, in response to a letter from Ms. Laura J. Collins regarding the Equal Rights Amendment. Jones acknowledges the progress made in women's rights issues, but recognizes the continuing problem of equal pay. He mentions that there are bills pending in Congress that address equal rights for women, but it is unlikely they will be considered before the current Congress adjourns. Jones states that he will study the House version of the bill and support legislation that addresses sexual and racial discrimination. He thanks Collins for writing and encourages her to contact him in the future.
