Supports Funds Cut

Supporting Mr. Nixon's
slashing of funds to federal
social programs. Mr. Robinson
said that President does not
believe "that someone in the
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare should
tell citizens of Charlottesville
what their human concerns
are."

Mr. Robinson also supports
the revenue sharing proposal,
"though that too could have
been cut," because "the
people's needs should be
handled at the community
level," he asserted.

Mr. Robinson, a member of
the powerful House
Appropriations Committee, is
disturbed by the President's
threat to impound money
appropriated by Congress.
