Congressi has recognized that, while theresis -no immediate«dang'er thatthe Social Security system will fai1,.an examination of alternatives to ‘increase funds into the system must be ‘made immediately. A step in this ‘direction was made in the last Congress, when the House Ways and Means Committee ~-established a separate Social‘ Security Subcom- mittee, whose f_i'rst_ priority is that of assessing the solvency of the Social Security system. ' 7 Amon'gftheIproposalsIbeing~ reviewed» by thesubcommittee are those to give the system\ a boost by increasing the Social Security tax on, the labor force..Both employers and workers are each presently contributing 5;857piercent of the first $16,500 of each covered e‘mp1‘oyee’.s earnings into the system,».Thu‘s,~ an employee earning‘ $16,500 currently pays -$965.25--per Yeiit_r‘=in Social Secur-ity’ta«xes, and his or {her employer paysan equal amount for a totahannual Socia1__Security tax_ of‘ $1,930.50. Under present law, thistax rate will‘ increase to 6405 percent in‘ January of 1978-. Former President Ford had recommended raising it to 6.15 percent. In. his fiscal 1978 budget ‘proposal, President Carter has eliminated‘ the proposal in the Ford bud- get to increase payroll taxes. indicating that he will make his fwn séxggestions on of the Social Security.sys1_:e‘m at a ater ate. ‘ Dr. Smithsaid children will not be admitted to [school unless these.i,r‘nmuhiz_ationre- quirements are met. Parents are asked to bring a full re- cord ot‘. immunizations, including dates with them as they register for kinder- garten this week. He noted that almost every‘ child, 99 percent, _entering kindergarten‘ in the fall of 1976 was fully immunized against the other dieases. Parents having questions concerning the requirements can contact Dr. Smith at the school (872-6680)- or -théir family physician for direc-. tion. ‘ 'Serv’icen1en Another method of increasing revenues into the Social Security system.i_s~tu divertinto.-tlieiprogtani money raised froth incometalxejs.-.-In my, opinion, this is ;a— better solution that increasing payroll taxes, which hit ‘low-and miiidle-income workers hardest. Over half of our work force is now paying more Social Security tax than Federal income tax and to decrease-their take-home pay by even more would beunfair and aihardshipiin many cases. Suggestions have also been made to raise the taxable wage base, so that those earning above the $16,500veeiling would pay proportionately more into the sys- tem; an idea that has some merit for -the short.-run. ‘But by far the best suggestion I believe is to supplement the Social Security program with monies from the general fund.so»tha_t the burden on workers and employers.can.be somewhat lessened.

WASHINGTON -‘ - Congressman Frank Horton (R-NY) welcomes the members of the United ‘Nations C1115’ of Schroeder Senior High School‘ to Washington during the re- cent trip.

Though its end youmaynot Up 'HoI|ine’ Congressman Frank Hor- ton (R-NY) has announced that ‘ the Commission on Federal Paperwork which he chairs has setup a “lgot-line” for citizens to call if theyhave a question or complaint about paperwork or r_ed»tape._ ' This toll-free number. 1-800 424-9882. has been established by the Paperwork Commission to ease communication between citizens and _ this Federal .agency.‘Commission ombuds- men are on call from 8:00 am. to‘ 8:00 pm. on regular work daygs _ , Each complaint will -be taken by a Qongynjssipn. ombudsman who will handle each question on an indivi- dual basis. And, after investigating, the Com~ mission will then respond to thequestioneninforminghim of what action was taken‘ to alleviate the problem. Commission ombudsmgn will \be anu_r_eni__r1;g_ the pelephbnés until the end of the Com- mission’: life. The Commission on Federal Paperwork, a two- year,. independent agency created by the Congress to cut needless paperwork and red tape, will terminate in October, 1977. So far, the Commission ‘has re- commended‘ more fharl 350 paperwork-reducing éctionsv to Federal agencies and has already won‘ acceptance of a third of these» rec0mn‘1énda- w Commented Horton, This direct ‘toll-free line to the public will give the Com- mission valuable informa- tion on which paperwork re- quirements 2_Ize most bother- some and costly tothe public. It will enable anyonewho has a problem with the paper- work burden imposed by Federal reporting [require- ments to contact the Com- mission directly. I would urge my constituents, or anyone, who has a‘ question or comment about Federal paperwork or red tape to call the Commission at this~to1l- free numben” , ‘ Work ‘Dis’p|_ayed _An R.L.
