Use Dear editar: As I understand it, one of the requirements set up by Congress for Nelson Rockefeller before he can be confirmed as vice president is that he no longer give away any money to anybody who might be influenced. Can't even cancel any of his friends' debts. I didn't pay that much attention to this until yesterday when I read an article discussing the national debt. According to it, the national debt is 487 billion dollars, up to week before last, and the interest on it is 31 billion dollars a year.

I still hadn't paid much attention to this until the article went on to point out that 31 billion dollars a year in interest comes to $429.00 a year for every family in the country. In other words, I've got to pay out $429.00 every year without even making a dent in the principal. Now what I want to know is, if Mr. Rockefeller wants to cancel my $429.00 what business is it of Congress? That ought to be between me and Rockefeller, if I knew how to get in touch with him. It looks like every time a man has a chance to get ahead these days Congress throws a roadblock in the way.

Changing the subject, I noticed that a Senator, reacting to President Ford's announcement that he'd gotten a nuclear arms agreement with the Russians between banquets on his recent trip abroad, said he ought to have it in writing. I'm not sure I follow this. Say he'd gotten it in writing and the Russians later on found it convenient to violate it. What're we supposed to do? Have the Robertson County grand jury indict Brezhnev for breach of contract and try him before Judge Wallace? Even though the price of the stuff has skyrocketed, some contracts aren't worth the paper on which they're written. Yours faithfully, J.

City Secretary (SEAL) 4l-3tn By W. P. HOBBY Jr. The federal government is working on a develop enough energy for the United States to be self-sufficient. To realize this goal the United States must increase its domestic production as much as possible.

We must expand our production and still maintain our environmental quality, believe that in the years to come, self-sufficiency will be necessary in many areas. Our research and money should be directed toward this goal. It seems that manpower and capital are our two most constraining factors at present. Our forces should then be directed toward specific industries and projects to help us reach our goal. Some recent studies have concluded that much more manpower and funds are needed than most people have realized.

Between 1973 and 1980, an investment of $20 billion a year will be needed nationally to try to improve the energy picture. In Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas alone, the average annual investment for those seven years must reach $5.2 billion. These are vast sums of money. One can see why such huge amounts are needed. Almost two-thirds of the nation's new petrochemical production facilities, will be located in these four states.

This large portion of the new energy construction will be located in this four-state region because of the accumulation of existing facilities of this type in the area. It is cheaper to add capacity to the existing plants rather than build new plants from the ground up in other parts of the nation. This specific region also is encouraged as related products and suppliers are made in plants close by. The region's pipeline facilities are the best developed, allowing the most efficient distribution of these materials. The lure of the existing facilities with the incumbent economics that they provide outweigh the negative factors.

This construction will require many specially trained people. Until 1980, 8,000 engineers will be needed annually along with 18,000 pipefitters and welders, and 100,000 other skilled laborers. The nation desperately needs this itftw to protect its from outside interference. The nation is relying on Texas to provide this production. It wi'l entail both opportunities and for the people of Texas.

I think that Texans are willing to pitch in on this national effort for the good of the country. It's a big job but I believe Texas is equal to the task.
