Under a previous order of the House, the gentle- man from Illinois (Mr. RosTrxKowsxi) is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. ROST.EN`KOWSKI. Mr. Speaker, it is always difficult to speak about the passing of a friend. This is particularly tripe for me today as I inform the House about the death of one of my closest friends and neighbors. Last Sunday at the age of - 88, Joseph A. Wojciechowski )>11ssed away in Chicago. Joe was a man of warm friendships who made every path the better because he passed that way. He thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of his long, active life and always had H 10493 The less heavily urbanized Alameda. County. which contains the East Bay cities of Oakland and Berkeley. had a smaller de- crease in deaths-?-7.7 per cent. The "rather dramatic decreases" all came in the areas of heart and lung disease deaths, which other studies .have found are affected by the amount of air pollution, the Berkeley team. said in a report in the British scientific journal Nature last month. "The disease-category showing the greatest relative change was chronic lung disease asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Lung disease deaths decreased 33 per cent in San Francisco and 38 per cent in Alameda County in the three-month period. Heart dis- ease deaths went down 16.7 per cent in San Francisco and 11.2 per cent in Alameda County during the same period. "Analysis of weather and air stability data, relevant pollution levels and the pattern. of influenza and pneumonia deaths-sometimes thought to influence cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) death-support the hypothesis that a decrease in vehicular exhaust Tunics would have a beneficial effect on health;" the Berkeley scientists said.: Earlier studies by the federal Department of Transportation and the National Safety Council found that motor vehicle deaths de- creased last year because of the 85-milc-an- hour speed limit and fewer drivers. Automo- bile accident deaths were excluded from the figures used in the Berkeley study. As a control, the Berkeley team found that cancer deaths, which are not affected by short-term changes. in. air pollution, did .not decrease during the gasoline shortage... NEO-MCCARTHYISM? : The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the h ouse, the gentle- man from New York (Mr. PrxE) is recog nized.for 5 minutes. Mr. PIKE. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, . October 19, the New York-Times wrote an editorial entitled "Neo-McCarthy- ism?" and addressed to the efforts of the House Select Committee on Intelligence to get from the State Department a docu-? ment which, by a vote of 9 to 2, it had subpenaed on the subject of the 1974 Cyprus crisis and Turkish invasion. It supported Secretary Kissinger in refus- ing to give the House Select Committee on Intelligence the document. ` On Monday, October 20, I wrote a.let-, ter to the Times presenting my personal views on the subject. The Times did contact me, told me the letter was too long; and asked me to cut it to 400 words, I did so. Tomorrow Secretary 'Kissinger is due to appear before our committee. The Times has not printed my letter, so I in- sert it herewith in the RECORD. It may be too long, and it represents only the views of the writer, but for what it is worth, here are those views: 'WASHINGTON, D.C., October 201,1975. Mr. JoHN B.

Under a previous order of the House the gentle- man from North Carolina..(Mr.-.JorlEs)- i:> recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. JONES of North Carolina,, Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the House Sub- committee on Tobacco, I am constantly concerned about those who consider to- bacco the "root of all evil," as it relates to the health of the people of this Nation. Therefore, I was most interested in an article which appeared in the Washing- ton Post on Wednesday,. October 29, 1975, concerning the findings of a team of sci- entists in the San Francisco area regard- ing a drastic decline in deaths?.from res- piratory and heart diseases. -I only hope that those who read this:. article . will agree that heart and lung- diseases are caused by many circumstances. The article reads as follows: - HEART 'AND LUNG 'DISEASE DEATHS FouNo- LowER DURING GAS CRLSI9 (By Stuart Auerbach) A team of scientists has found -that deaths In the San Francisco area from heart and lung diseases decreased dramatically during the gasoline shortage early last year when motorists were driving less. Dr. Stephen M. Brown of the School of Public Health of the University of California at Berkeley credited a reduction in air pollu- tion from automobiles for the decrease in deaths. To. buttress his conclusions, brown said yesterday in a telephone interview that deaths returned to a normal rate during the second three months of 1974, when the gaso- line shortage eased. Gasollre :sales in the San Francisco area fell nearly 10 per cent during the first three months cf.last year. s w r Through his tremendous ability, lion- time compared with the same period in the timely and objective information to enable e ,sty and Integrity he built two of the previous four years, them to make wise decisions and take proper Approved For Release 2004/09/23 : CIA-RDP77M00144R000300 `300 1110494- CONGRESSIONAL RECORD_-HOUSE 'f~cobe~? 30, 19'75 actions.
