choose q simple dress pattern

BY the Associated Press

Representative Harris, DEM
ocrat of Arkansas, says hear
ings will be opened shortly on
legislation to prevent improper
backdoor pressure on Federal
regulatory agencies.
The hearings will be held by
the House Subcommittee on
legislative Oversight headed by
Mr.. Harris.
In what he described as q

mittee's activities this year. Mr.
Harris told the House yeSter-
day, that recent hearings or
operation of the regulatory
agencies indicate factors con-
ducive to improper pressure.
In contrast to its sensational.
hearings of last year, the Har-
ris subcommittee has confined
itself this year to a series Of
public panel discussions on thu
operation of the agencies.
However. Mr.. Harris said tht
