Although the principal function of a Member of Congress is to devote himself to legislation benefiting the United States in general and his own district in particular. he also represents the constituents of his district in their relationship with the Federal Government. During this session of Congress. my office has processed literally thousands of requests for assistance in this field. We have handled matters relating to social security. veterans affairs. immigration. watershed problems. small business. area redevelopment. military academies. post offices. and farm problemsto mention but a few. I have been fortunate. too. in receiving expressions of opinion on pending legislation before the Congress from thousands of constituents. This has been most helpful in aiding me in obtaining the views of the citizens of the First District and in focusing my attention on matters of particular import to individuals. businesses. and corporations of the area.
