Fish Resigns From House
FOREIGN Affairs Post

By the Associated Press.
Declaring the new Congress must
"reassert its authority" Representa-
tive Fish, Republican, of New York
resigned today as member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee to
devote his full time to the Rules
Committee, of which he is ranking
minority member.
In a prepared statement, the New
Yorker said The American people
are exasperated at having their
daily lives regimented by executive
orders and regulations emanating
from bureaucrats and governmental
agencies without authority of law
and often in defiance of Congress
and the Constitution"
Representative Fish said he be-
lieved the Rules Committee should
devote its energies and time to
checking on the governmental agen-
cies and requiring the bureaucrats
to show by what authority of law
they are taking into their own
hands the legislative functions of
the Congress"
Il know of nothing more impor-
tant for the new Congress to do
than to reassert it's own authority,
legislative prerogatives and power,
and stop the march to dictatorship
and totalitarianism in our own
country while our sons are fighting
for the four freedoms throughout
the world"
