He illustrated this sta tement by showing that the committee on which he present!:-• se rv es. the Comm e rc e Committee. has never lwen busiPt' than during thP la s t few month s. \ 'an fk e rlin. :1 Democrnt. predicted that the Hou sp of Hepresentatives would pass a bill of impeach ment against the Presid e nt some tim e in July.

Artist 'thinks like a bird'; produces people-sized nest Have you ever felt the urge to build yourself a ne s t'' Did you eve r get the fee lingthat yo u wanted to be a bird'> Dee Shalett Lewbel. "art-maker." would answer yes to both questions. With the arrival of spring. Dee felt the urge so strongly th at s he built a people-sized nest in front of room C-5 3 on the lawn. Built from twigs and sma ll branches. brightly co l ored paper. yarn. string and soft warm feath e r s. the nest was simila r in every way to those that are made by our feathered fri e nds. ex cept in size. The nest rested on the s ite of a very large. beautiful tre e which u sed to be the home eac h spring of a family of birds which would build their nes t s in its branches. The tree was removed and Mrs. Lewhel was so unhappy by the absence of the birds that she constructed he r nest as a m e morial to them. "I tried to think I ike a bird." sa i d the lady when askerl how she built the twiggy construction . "When I first began to use a plan. the nest dirln't look natural. Instead I used everything that I cou ld collect or find and the ne s t ju s t took birdlike form." De e is an admirPr of feathers , and uses them extensive l y in her art projects.

Hemarking that some elenwnts of the House. himsplf includL•d. werP in favor of televising the proceNiings that wou ld l ead up to n hill of impe:tchnwnt. the representative sn irl that "Tiw rp is enough ham in some of the memhPrs to make the process l ast two wePks." hut qua lified the predietion hy saying that such prognostication s usua lly proved to he too optimistic. "It may take much longer." Talking about thP energy crisis Van De e rlin said that he rlirl not beli eve • that the cr i s i s harl hP<·n brought on hy the oil companies themsPives. "!1ut that i s not to say that they haven't exploitt~d it to the hi It." Predicting that the next few years wi ll bring about important rlecisions wh(' n a "handle" would be put on the co nsumpt ion of fuels, the congressm:tn said that there were three phases to a crisis such ns the energy c ri s i s. ThP first is the "I rlon't lwlieve it" stage. The second i s the "scapPgoat" phas(' in which everybody blames everyone els(' for the problems. It is the seconrl phas(• that we are now in. Th(· thi rei phas<'. the one which we must ent<-r as soon as possibl e. is where we finrl solu tions to our p rohl ems. Opens floor to questions After th ese· opening remarks the floor wa s open to questions from th e audience. \\'hPn asked what his opin i ons were concerning the building of a nuclear power plant at San Onofre. Congressman Van Dec•rlin sa id that hi s op11110ns on that subject harl c hanger! quit(~ a hit in the l ast few yenrs. C iting as hi s author ity, nuclear physici s t Harold l'rey. he sa id that the destruction that a nuciPar power plant might causP if some disaster kept coolants from be ing deliverer! to it, were much too dangerous to contemp l ate. He also deplored the pr:,ctice of disposing of nucl ea r wastes by wrapping them in concrete anrl rl ropping them to the bottom of the ocean. Conc e rn ed about nuclear power
"If
we cannot insure the safe ty of humans li ving on the earth twenty thousanrl years from now. then we have no business using such sou rce s of power unti l we can introduce safer methods." Remarking that small scal e development of nuclear power was advisable, the Congressman disagreed sharplywith the administration goal of basing one third of the nation's energy consumption on nuclear power by 1980. Another member of the aud ience inqui red whether the cong r essman thought that the "Campaign Reform Act" would pass the Congress. "There is no question that there will he a campaign reform act passed. The only question is what kind it will he. You will find that m'ore Democrats favor a public funding of campa ign s because Republicans find it so much eas ier to raise money." He said that he favors a law that is "fair and equitabl e, so that the workingpeople own the candidate. instead of them being owned by Exxon." In reply to another question asking what advice he might have for youthful citizens disillusioned with the political p~cess, Van Deerlin stated that young people will not improve things by staying on the outside and criticizing. They can only achieve results if they become involved in them.
