Berkley Advocates Sunset Laws for Federal Agencies
Congressman Berkley urges a broad reorganization of the federal government and drafts the Regulatory Agency Self-Destruct Act. The bill would abolish ten agencies by September 30, 1977 unless Congress approves, with remaining agencies facing sunset in 1984 or after fifteen years for new agencies. He cites rising budgets, inefficiency, and added costs to business and consumers.

Bedell seeks term limits and campaign fund ban
Town Congressman Berkley Bedell today reintroduced two reform bills first proposed in the 94th Congress. One constitutional amendment would cap terms at three consecutive for House and Senate and extend House terms to four years while rotating elections. The other bill bars personal use of campaign funds and redirects contributions to current or future campaigns or the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. Bedell said the measures would restore public confidence and bring in new blood.
