Few people realize the tremendous amount of work that passes through a Congressmans office. I refer not only to the legislative work but also to the personal service work rendered to constituents in taking up matters with the departments of the Government in Washington. Every mail brings ninny requests relating to such matters as veterans compensation claims. pension claims. immigration difficulties. passport requests. civilservice examinations. employment requests. appointments to the Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis. innumerable requests for informnation. and for public documents of every description. I have been pleased by the number and variety of requests that have come to me for assistance in these matters. and I wish to thank the citizens of my district for advising me on many important and complicated legislative problems which have come up for action. Even though we may not always agree. it is a wholesome situation when the Congressman and his constituents can cooperate in a helpful way. and it gives the citizen a deeper interest in his Government.
