Reese urges end to FEA funding in Texas district race
Republican congressional candidate Jim Reese sent telegrams to House Appropriations leaders asking Chairman George Mahon to kill the Federal Energy Administration budget as it faces committee review. He labeled the agency a national disgrace and wasteful, citing 3400 top staff, over 110 public relations specialists, and costs exceeding three million dollars yearly. The same messages went to Huard Cederberg, President Ford, and Interior Secretary Kleppe. In other local news two Hardwick Elementary sixth graders Tim Lamb and Kelly Tollison were named outstanding citizenship award recipients, receiving a plaque and a flag. Alternate honors went to Doug Davis and Veronica Jones. Principal Denzil Minyard presented the awards.
