insertions in the Con-
gressional Record and re-
solutions and bills he has
either sponsored or co-
sponsored on Israel,
Soviet Jewry, the Arab
boycott and arms sales to
Arab nations.
Brodhead and Rep.
James Blanchard (D-18th
District) were the only re-
spondents to the Zionist
Organization of Detroit's
recent questionnaire who
answered favorably to all
12 questions regarding
support of Israel.
His staff worked for
more than a year to
shepherd the bill through
Congress.
A nationally operating
survey committee
analyzed Rep. Brodhead's
rating as 100 percent in
matters relating to the
Middle East and Israel.
Brodhead lists more
than 30 actions in his two
years in Congress sup-
porting Israel and Soviet
Jewry. The actions in-
clude votes in the House,

retarded individuals not
living in institutions.
"Although Con-
gressman Brodhead's bill
is not everything that we of
the Association had hoped
for, it certainly is a step in
the right direction," Col-
lins said, " and will serve
to encourage retarded
adults not in need of con-
stant supervision to live in
small residential settings
which attempt to nor-
malize the residents' envi-
ronment and utilize exist-
ing community services."
Collins added, "Corn-
REP. BRODHEAD
pared with tax reform,
such legislation tends to
go unnoticed, however,
the Association wants
Congressman Brodhead
to know that its members
applaud his bill and rec-
ognize and appreciate his
interest in mentally re-
tarded citizens."
The Brodhead bill
began with a letter from
Mel Ravitz, director of
Detroit-Wayne County
Community Mental
Health Board. Brodhead
has a retarded brother
and was sympathetic to
the concept.
