Carbondale Congressman Simon eyed for Budget chair
U S Rep Paul Simon of Carbondale, after three years in Congress, is considered a contender for the next chair of the House Budget Committee. The current chair Rep Bob Giaimo must step down in January 1979, with Obey and Mineta also viewed as top rivals. Simon has pressed to reform rotating membership rules and has chaired a tax expenditures task force.
