Congress defends rural hospitals against HEW rules
In a national clash over Health and Welfare guidelines, Representative urges local control as 18 000 constituents and nearly 5 000 messages push for softer standards. He meets HEW leaders and secures a unanimous House vote 357 to 0 backing his resolution to pressure for rural exceptions and local decision making. The final guidelines due next spring may still fall short, but the effort demonstrates that public input can shape federal policy.
