Capitol Report
By RepJames Grover
Second Congressional District
My office staff has just about
recovered from totaling the r e sults
of my annual questionnaire.
Let no one say that the residents
of the Second Congressional District
don't care about how their
government is run. I've got a
record 14,000 returns on my
questionnaire which say that they
do care— they care very much.
It must also be said that these
concerned Long Island residents
disagree with administration policy
on almost every basic point.
For example, they want the federal
budget deficit to be cut by
cutting back on federal operations.
The administration has
continually expanded the powers
and the programs of the federal
government. They want urban
unrest dealt with through the involvement
of private industry and
through beefing up police forces.
This administration has pressed
continually for more federal poverty
spending and has attempted
to reason with rioters.
Our residents want to ease
pressure on the American Dollar
by reducing non- military
foreign aid. Congress is in the
process of doing just that against
fierce opposition from the President.
This questionnaire was prepared
arid the responses tabulated
by students at two of our
local universities. The results
are, I believe, very indicative of
the concerns and desires of suburban
New Yorkers. The comments
which many of the respondents
included with their answers
were indicative of a deep concern
over the directions which our national
policy are taking and a deep
disagreement with the outgoing
administration. Here are the
questions which we asked and the
answers, by percentage.
Question I: The war in Vietnam
should be— Prosecuted more
vigorously than it is at present
to produce military victory, 37;
conducted at the present level, 3;
Brought to an end by gradual negotiated
withdrawal, 47; Ended by
U. S. withdrawal now, 12; Undecided
or no opinion, i.

Nations should be— Prevented
absolutely, 31; Postponed for now,
23; Favorably considered, 28;
Arranged as soon as possible,
13; Undecided or no opinion, 6.
Question 3: American military
commitment in Europe
should be— Increased, 3; Maintained
at present levels, 21; Reduced
without being abandoned,
58; Eliminated completely, 15,
Undecided or no opinion, 3.
Question 4: The anticipated
deficit in the Federal budget
should bee— Eliminated by r e ducing
Government expenditures
in civilian but not in military
functions, 28; Eliminated by r e duction
in military expenditures
primarily or exclusively, 15; E-liminated
by cutting military and
civilian function of the Federal
Government, 32; Eliminated by
adding the surtax of 10 percent
as desired by President Johnson,
21; Left standing as a debt
against the future, 2; Undecided
or no opinion, 2.
Question 5: The " urbancrisis"
should be dealt with by— Increasing
the number and power of the
police, 33; Letting private enterprise
provide jobs, housing, etc.
through business activities, 44;
Reducing the role of Government
generally, 6; Increasing State and
Federal expenditures for public
housing, jobs, slum clearance,
and welfare aid, 14; Undecided or
no opinion, 3.
Question 6: Excessive outflow
of the American dollar should be
dealt With with by one of the following
primarily— By restriction

nonmilitary foreign aid, 45; Undecided
