Voter League President Delegate To Convention Carol Sek, president of the Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters, was among members of the League of Women Voters from around the country who ended their national con­ vention in Washington, D.C. May 7 after five days of activities, including a speech by President Carter, adoption of a new League national program for 1980-82, and a number of other events. The League's new national program for 1980-82 refelcts many long-standing League goals such as the promotion of equal opportunity, protecting natural resour­ ces, working for cooperation among nations' and ensuring that government at all levels is representative, ac­ countable and responsive to all citizens. The 1980-82 program will also include a study of national health care - a new program time for the League. Mayor Marion Barry kicked off the convention with a speech to the <1,500 League delegates,,, en­ couraging League members to continue their un- waivering commitment to the ratification of the D.C. voting rights amendment - a commitment which the League has held for more than fifty years. After acknowledging the delegates hard work in their states in support of the D.C. amend­ ment, Mayor Barry renewed his own pledge in support of ratification of the Equal Rights amendment, another top League priority. In keeping with the League's sixieth an­ niversary celebration this year, Ruth J. Hinerfeld, president of the League of Women Voters of the U.S., spoke to the delegates about the future of 4he League. "The League's success in setting goals for public policy has firm foun­ dations.. .our skill in forging consensus in our own decision-making, in fostering coalitions with other groups and in promoting reasoned public dialogue," she said. She went on to say, "There is a growing recognition of the need for national- con­ sensus, compromise and coalition. It has become, in itself, a national goal. And the League of Women Voters is uniquely qualified to help harmonize competing in­ terests, to help maintain the democratic tradition. We have done so in the past. We shaft dftSo irtthe future. And that's a campaign promise." President Jimmy Carter, in addressing the plenary session of League delegates and visitors from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia, urged League members to help the Administration achieve one of its immediate legislative goals: passage of ap­ propriations to continue the food stamp program after May 15. During a question and answer session following his remarks, Carter said in response to the first question asked by a League delegate that he "would be glad to participate" this Fall in League sponsored presidential debates if he is the Democratic party nominee. With ERA as one of the top League priorities, Polly Bergen, noted actress and businesswoman, received an enthusiastic welcome from the delegates last Monday morning when she told of her personal commitment to the ERA and spoke about the League-sponsored National Business council for ERA. In comments on the LWV-NBC for ERA, of which she is a co- chair, she said that the' League has "the beginning of the most viable movement today to help ratify the ERA." Under existing legislation, armed forces veterans will get an estimated $6.2 billion in compensation from the ;Veterans Administration in fiscal year 1981 for disabilities incurred while in service. The amount for individuals is based on degree of disability. Vietnam Era veterans made 3.3 million outpatient visits to Veterans Ad- minstration medical centers last year, or more than one out of five made by all for­ mer service members.
