Dear editor:
As I understand it
Congress is supposed to set n

that serves although I think
it's sort of like the national

ANSWERIIne: A baseline
mammogram is an initial X

used as a subsequent reference
point by the physician in
evaluating the condition of
your breast in later years.
The ACS recommends that
women between 20 and 40
have a breast physical exami-

annually over the age of 40.
All women past 20 should
practice breast self-examination

in particular cases. Women
over 50 should obtain a

One Congressman however
has discovered a way out of
this dilemma.
He got up on his feet the
other day and told his fellow
Congressmen that he had
voted a few months ago In
favor of cutting taxes despite
the fact it meant a bigger
deficit because "I considered
it In my best political in-
terest." In other words he
confessed he'd put staying in

thought was best for the
nation. Out of habit he was
following the standard rule
that says "the first duty of a
Congressman is to get
reelected."
Now he said he regretted
it and he doesn't care what
his fellow party members
think he's going to speak his
mind regardless and vote his
convictions.
He added also that he won't
seek reelection because he
has developed a severe back
problem that'd prevent him
from serving.
It's clear the way to get
more statesmanship in
Washington is to get more
Congressmen with back

During the past decade growing drug abuse by our
young people has taken a terrible toll on the individual
users their families and the very fabric of our society.
Drug use often has been glamorized in the youth culture
thus making the battle against this abuse all the more
difficult.
One of the most blatant examples of this phenomenon
has been the so-called "head shop" skirting the laws
against selling drugs but providing the equipment to use
them in "fashionable" ways. It is any wonder that young
people may turn a deaf car to warnings about the effects of
drugs when they can sec in their local shopping mall exotic
water pipes jeweled "roach clips" to hold marijuana
cigarettes or publications extolling the so-called benefits of
mind-altering drugs?
Last year I introduced legislation to prohibit the use
possession or delivery of drug paraphernalia with
especially severe penalties for those who provide them to
minors. I based my bill on a model prepared by the federal
Drug Enforcement Agency with careful wording to insure
that only material clearly intended for illegal use was
included. Since the constitutionality of similar legislation
was under litigation the Judiciary Committee deferred
action until the matter was decided.
1 am happy to report to you now however that the
United States Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that
a city ordinance in Illinois -- also based on the DEA model
bill -- is constitutional. As Justice Thurgood Marshall said
in the Court's opinion "The ordinance is expressly
directed at commercial activity promoting or encouraging
illegal drug use. If that activity is deemed 'speech then it
is speech proposing an illegal transaction which a govern-
. ment may recognize or ban entirely."
The DEA's chief counsel hailed the court decision
saying "We now think that the paraphernalia industry
may be out of court and out of business."
I hope that the Congress will find time this year in its
already crowded schedule to pass my bill to outlaw such
paraphernalia nationally.
Unfortunately I do not believe such action will end
the illegal use of drugs. However I do believe that ending
this open advertisement for drug use will make it a little
" less likely that young people will sec drug use as exciting
drug abuse but with the supreme Court ruling a simple act
of Congress could win a major
safoty and hoalth onginoors
will on a consultation basis.
Tho consulation is froo but
must bo roquosted first by
tho omployor.
Anothor problom with tho
lack of funding for a stato

that tho TDH can't ado-
