Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilo1,1s fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does. that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? II On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: ' Tis the star-spangled banner! 0 long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    1973 LEQISL~TI\IE WORKSMOY A GUIDE FOR CITIZEN ACTION including CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY 1971-1972 LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF THE UNITED STATES INTRODUCTION Citizens in all 50 states have an opportunity to lobby their elected officials at the local level and in the state legislatures. Unfortunately, Congress is not so readily accessible and. except for citizens living near the nation's capital. opportunities for face-to-face lobbying on national legislation are limited - but the pen is close at hand. This pamphlet is designed to help all citizens make effective use of the pen in expressing their views to their senators and representatives. The following pages include suggested ways to write more effective letters. tips on when and how to write. and some sample approaches to letter writing. Also included are lists of congressional delegations by state and the major committee assignments. WHY WRITE? "If you are wondering whether or not it is really worthwhile to communicate your views to your own senator or representative in Congress. consider this fact: Others who disagree with you are doing so constantly ... "Your congressman is one person to whom your opinion definitely is important. With exceptions so rare that they are hardly worth mentioning, members of the National Congress positively do read their mail. Moreover. they are interested in its contents. The mood and tenor of the daily mail from home is a re ­ current topic of conversation among members when they gather in the cloakrooms in the rear of the House and Senate Chambers or around the coffee cups in the dining rooms of the Capitol." (You and Your Congress­ man by Congressman Jim Wright.) The mail is obviously of great importance to senators and representatives in determining thoughtful con­ stituent opinion.

  • Annual COPE Dinner, Wheeling, West Virginia, December 10, 1971
    NEWS CONTACT: J <2~.f1t~16HIJe8Ju~ding (202) 225-3244 --Saturday A.M.'s, Dec. 11, 1971 HUMPHREY CALLS FOR APPALACHIAN MASTER PLAN TO COORDINATE DEVELOPM&~T AND ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMS lffiEELING, West Va., Dec. 10--Senator Hubert H. Humphrey tonight called for a unified Appalachian Master Plan to coordinate development and anti-poverty programs for that region of nearly 20 million people. !!Appalachia will again become a forgotten and negl ~ c t~ d land unless the fragmentation of strategies to help the r·,:: c.i.on are unified," Senator Humphrey told the annual COPE dinner here. "Such agencies as the OEO, the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Economic Development Administration, HUD, HEW, and the Labor Department are now pursuing separate strategies when we need one strategy. "If we continue to have separate poverty programs, health programs, road building programs, job training programs instead of designing a single and unified Appalachian Development Program we will fail in our promise to improve the quality of life for nearly 20 million people." Senator Humphrey also drew a series of parallels between today's economic and social conditions and those of 1960 when he and Senator John F. Kennedy campaigned in West Virginia. "The spring of 1960 was the beginning of a new decade and a time of great change and challenge," he said. "So it is today. "In the spring of 1960, our nation was suffering from a crisis of leadership and unfulfilled promise. And so it is today.
