No Satehood
For D.C.
Washington (JTA) —
Statehood has been one of
the big issues here as the
House of Representatives
held its first-ever vote on
whether the District of
Columbia should become a
state.
To no one's surprise, the
proposal was voted down
277-153.
But statehood proponents,
including the American
Jewish Congress, are pleas-
ed.
"It was a very positive
vote, surpassing anyone's
expectations," said Roger
Kosson, a legislative assis-
tant at AJCongress who has
often come true.
One of the best ways to sup-
port our efforts is through a City of
Hope gift annuity. For as little as
$2,500, you can help others and

"It bodes well for the

Currently, residents of the
nation's capital have one
representative in the House
who cannot vote on the
House floor, and no repre-
sentation at all in the
Senate.
Statehood supporters like
AJCongress argue that this
situation is unfair. If the
District, as it is known here,
were made into a state, it
would be represented in both
houses of Congress, like the
rest of the country.
AJCongress has supported
the idea of D.C. statehood for
many years, arguing that
support for statehood is in
line with Jewish values.
In early November,
AJCongress President
Robert Lifton wrote to every
House member urging sup-
port for D.C. statehood.
"We view this as a matter
of basic fairness, and as a
civil rights issue," said Mr.
Kosson. "No American
citizen should be denied the
right of representation." L
