Staff Only

The text is a series of letters discussing the federal budget, foreign aid, tax cuts, and spending priorities. Congressman James R. Jones agrees with the need to reduce foreign aid and carefully examine spending programs to balance the budget. He believes tax cuts are necessary to combat recession and inflation, but acknowledges the need to reduce federal spending to compensate for the loss of tax revenues. A constituent, Thomas P. Harris, expresses concern about the national debt and the stability of social security, and suggests cutting wasteful spending on items like limousines for federal bureaucrats. Congressman Jones assures Harris that his concerns will be brought to his attention and he will continue to work towards achieving these goals.
