Roberts Defends Congress Amid Watergate Criticism at Longview
Rep. Ray Roberts of the 4th District told the 6th annual Greater Longview United Way Fund drive luncheon that only seven Senators were in Watergate hearings and that 528 members busily produced legislation. He cited a Washington paper noting over 200 roll calls and more than 50 major bills sent to the President during May 16 to Aug. 3. Roberts, from McKinney, praised United Way's work aiding 18 local organizations and described the 1973-74 goal as 5269 000. The event drew about 250 attendees as Delbert Bright led the program and new officers for the campaign were elected.
