Van Zandt Blames Congress For Distressed Area Lot
Pennsylvania congressman condemns the 85th Congress for delaying distressed area legislation as unemployment worsens in Altoona and nearby labor surplus zones. He cites 18 percent in Altoona historically, now over 9 percent, with several counties listed as affected. He advocates a compromise bill to break the legislative deadlock, contrasting administration and Democratic plans for loans and grants.
