bill cohen FROM CONGRESS
Pre:>ld~ n~ Kennedy once wrote, "Libraries like all other
in-stitutions must grow and adapt to changing requlremen;s and
conditions. The rate of change in the world today and m our
knowledge of it is· incredibly fast. We cannot afford to let our
libraries slip behind. " The Library of Congress in Washington is
the principal repository of the literature and history of the
American people. ~ts voluminous collections contain more than 74
million items, including the pereonal papers of 23 Presi-de.nts.
.
This priceless collecttcn of documents is growmg at an ever
increasing rate, The Library has long since outgrown the two main
buildings it occupies on Capitol Hill. Today, the J..l.b~ary has
staff and collections in no less than 10 different loct.~tons
outside its permanent buildings. Last ye~r, nearl!' $6 million was
spent to rent and maintain extra space for the library coll-ections
and staff. Even so, staff members are crowded into book stack areas
, in marble hl\.lls surrounded by temporary partitions and in
cellar space designed for storage purposes. Worse yet, the
collections themselves now have to be kept. in rooms without
humidity control and other preservation eqmp-ment. Some collections
are literally crumbling away. Recog-nizing the seriousness of the
situation, Congress in 1?65 au-. thorized construction of the James
Madison Memorial L1brary, a modern structure a block long , to
provide a proper .horne for the LibraryofCongress collections.
After repeated delays, the Madison Building is now nearing
completion. Recently, how-ever, a new and serious threat tx> the
Library has arisen -- and it has come from Congress itself.
Earlier this month, a resolution was introduced by several
Congressmen who want the Madison Building turned over to the House
of Representatives for use as the ~ourth House Off~ce Building
Congressmen who have been huntmg for extra offtce space fo'r years
now see the Madison Building, located just across the street from
the Cannon Office Building, as the answer to their needs. .
I have opposed every proposal to build a fourth House offlce
building, and I intend to oppose this new ~tl:>y with equa1
vl~or. It would cost millions of dollars to convert the new Mad1son
Building intended for use as a library, into office space, And it
would, leave the priceless collections of the Library of Con-gress
to crumble In the stacks of far-flung, Inadequate facili-ties.
In an attempt to head off this insensitive act of greed by
Con-gress, I am cosponsoring legislation which will ensure that the
Madison Building is completed for use as a library, I do not
believe that the House needs more office space at this time.
In-stead, efforts should be made to make more eff[ciE)nt use o~ the
threeexistina office buildings. We owe it to future generat10ns to
preserve othe Madison Building as a repository of the

HATHAWAY Cont'd from Page 4
ut despite the decline and ultimate bankruptcy of many
rall-~1..ds, they remain a vital link in the economy, and
especially for the Northeasi: states. Even after years of expanding
truck, air and barge operations, railroads are still the leading
carriers in terms of freight ton-miles. One study showed that if
the Penn Central in the Northeast were shut down, it could reduce
employment in the state of Indiana by 34 percent in the first
month. Other states , including Maine, wPuld suffer similarly from
rallroa(l shutdowns.
Moreover, as the grices of fuel for all other forms of
trans-portation rise and the fuel resources themselves decrease,
the need and potential for ~tter rail service rises. Trains can be
one ofthe most energy- efficient and safest modes of
transporta-tion for goods and people. With modern tracks and
equipment they can tr~vel at speeds twice as high and more as those
ve-hicles on an interstate highway.
America's railroad systems are clearly on~ ox our. most
valu-able capital assets. Their creation · signall~d an
irreversible · technological revolution and laid the_
iu:ol.llldwork for the inter-national leadership role America has
played ever since. These systems cannot be allowed tx>
deteriorate any further, or else we risk the l9ss of that asset--
and with it a significant weak-ening in our technological
capal;>illtes.
America is a country dedicated tx> free enterprise, and the
Senate's proposal involves the use of free enterprise to revive the
nation's railroads. But the President has announced he would veto
this bill, on the theory that it costs more money thanhisproposals.
Manyexperts, however, have indicated that the President's bill
would simply be lnsufficient tx> postpone the system's collapse,
and would therefore cost a lot more mo-ney and jobs in the end.
The l?elll!tewould rather commit enough resources now to give
'-free· enterprise a fighting chance to do this vital job,
because
· the only alternative in sight is outright nationalization.
BROWNVILLE JUNCTION WATER DIS~ICT REQ1;JESTS INCREAS~ IN
REVENUES
Brownv.ille Junction Water District, serving approximately 293
customers with domestic water service in the Village of Brownville
Junction, Piscataquis County, today requested a 31.5 percent
increase in General Servt~e revenues from the Public utUlties
Commission.
In its app~ication the District stare,s, ''th~ District ~ast
appeared before the CommiSsion in 1967, foJJ.owing. the completion
of a new source of supply and related work. A bond issue was
ap-provedshortlythereafter. We currently have a short term note
of$25, 000 outstanding and need to borrow an additional $40,000
tx> cover outstanding accounts payable. "
The District continues, "we must increase our revenues in order
to meet our debt requirements and to offset a decline in revenue in
1975. This can be accomplished by a 40 percent in-crease in public
fire protection, which will then account for 30 percent of total
revenue , and a 40 percent increase in other rates. Because of
genera! low usage and economic conditions within the di13trlct's
area, the minimum water allo wance is being kept at 800 cubic feet.
" · *
Under the fil4tg, proposed to become effective· .J'fl.lluary 8,
the mlnlmuhl .charge for 800 oubic feet of water metered will
increase from $10 to $14 quarterly; the rates for water supplied to
unmetered custx>mers will increase from $46.20 to $66 an-nually;
lUld public fire protection revenues will increase from
_ $5, 500 to $8,400 annually. . · \..._.. Additional revenues to
be realized from the fi~ing are $7 , 128
annually. In ac~ptlng the application, PUC Secretary Howard M.
Cu/lllingham said he did not know when the oase wlll be pro-cessed.
