/ poll I (Your Congressmen's Vote) Here's how arm members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes following the July 4 recess. HOU8E Spy Budget--The House rejected, 79 for and 321 against an amendment requiring public disclosure of the total amount spent on foreign intelligence in fiscal 1980. The one time-only disclosure would have applied to the aggregate budget of the CIA and 10 other U-S- agencies that spy overseas. It was proposed to HR 3821, an authorisation bill later passed and sent to the Senate. * Rep. Romano Massoli, D-Ky., the sponsor, said disclosure of the total figure would not weaken national security, and that "the intelligence agencies, like all arms of government, must be accountable to the Congress and to the public." Rep. William Whitehurst, R-Va., an opponent, said publication of the aggregate amount "will lead to revelations of more and more detail about our intelligence programs and budget. This will damage intelligence and our security." *. Members voting "yea" favored public disclosure of the total foreign intelligence budget for fiscal 1980. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "nay." Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. Education Dept.-By a vote of 210 for and 206 against, the House passed a bill (S 210) creating a cabinet-level Department of Education. The new department would absorb the U.S. Office of Education (now in HEW) and other education agencies and programs scattered throughout the government. The bill, weighted down With school-prayer and anti-abortion amendments, now goes to conference with the Senate. Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Tex., a supporter, said: "We will have done what we always talk about doing; that is, just to make the federal government a bit more efficient, a bit more responsive Rep. L.H. Fountain, D-N.C., an opponent, said: "Enactment of this bill will mean that state and local educators will soon be mere administrative agents * of the Washington educational bureaucracy." Members voting "yea" favored a separate education department. McClory voted "nay." Anderson did not vote. Postal Supervisors--The House passed, 306 for and 94 against, a bill giving postal supervisors the right to arbitrate wages, fringes and other job issues with top Postal Service management. There are about 38,000 supervisors among 650,000 post office employes. The bill (HR 927) was sent to the Senate. Although the supervisors are classified as management personnel, organized labor is sympathetic toward the bill. Rep. William Clay, D-Mo., a supporter, said the bill is necessary because top management has taken too lightly the legal requirement that it "consult" with supervisors on job matters. He added that "this is not a collective bargaining bill as some have attempted to purport." Rep. William Dannemeyer, R-Calif., an opponent, said the bill "could set a dangerous precedent for the granting of collective bargaining rights to supervisors throughout all government agencies and into the private sector." « Members voting "yea" favor\granting arbitration rights to postal supervisors. McClory voted "nay." Anderson did not vote. SENATE Electoral College--By a vote of 51 for and 48 against, the Senate failed to muster the two-thirds majority needed to approve a constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral college and replacing it with direct, popular election of a president. The amendment (SJR 28), seeks to remove the possibility of a candidate winning in the electoral college while losing the popular vote. Its future is now bleak. Sen. Wendell Ford, D-Ky., a supporter of the constitutional amendment, complained that the Electoral college gives the least- populousstates disproportionate power in the selection of ta SUBSCRIBE To The McHenry Plaindealer And Save *8.80 Over Newstand Price FILL OUT AND MAIL OR BRING TO: MCHENRY PLAINDEALER 3C12 W.

"Some voters are more important than others because of tlie state in which they reside," he said. sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, an opponent, said the Electoral coUCfs is part of a mechanism to give representation to states as political entities, and was "deliberately deslghed to cushion the election of the president...from direct democracy." Senators voting "yea" favor direct election of the president. Sen. Adlai Stevenson, D, voted "yea." Sen. Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." - 0 Mew Aid Agency--The Senate refused, 45 for and 51 against, to prevent the creation of a new U.S. foreign aid agency. This and a similar House vote clear the way for the International Development Cooperation Agency (IDCA) to be established under an executive order issued by President Carter. The IDCA will absdrb the Agency for International Development (AID), Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), and most other non-military foreign assistance agencies. No longer the province of the State department, foreign aid will be administered by an independent agency directly answerable to the White House. Sen. Charles Percy, R-Ill., a supporter of the move to kill the proposed IDCA, called the reorganization "a half-hearted attempt to meet ill-defined goals," and said that it would only "mask a failure to solve basic problems behind a veil of illusory progress." Sdn. Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn., an opponent, said the reorganization will "make the current U.S. foreign aid'program and other policies toward the developing world more effective, so that the American taxpayer gets more for the money (he) already spends." Senators voting "nay" favored establishing the new foreign aid agcftcy. Stevenson and Percy voted "yea." from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS Joly TM, I8S3 -- The revolution in Cuba begins as Fidel Castro, Son of a wealthy sugar planter, mounts his initial attack against dic­ tator Fulgencio Bastista.
