Honorable Marvin Esch

Dear Congressman Esch;
As we begin hearings in the Committee on legislation to provide vitally needed
public service jobs for the nation's unemployed, I wanted'to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you for the magnificent work you have done as ranking minority
member. Because of your untiring efforts, we were able to reach agreement
on the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. I believe CETA to be the
most significant legislation to have passed this Congress. Despite many
divergent points of view we had to contend with during the development of
this legislation it was through your perseverance that we are able to have
a job training and manpower program.
I also wish to commend you for your similar efforts which have led to our
Committee's reporting of three other major bills, including Youth Camp Safetys
an extension of the Youth Conservation Corps; and a reform of Federal employees
compensation programs.
Your continued willingness to sit down and resolve our differences helped
establish the feeling of goodwill and understanding which I believe contributed
so much to our Committee's effectiveness during the 93rd session.
Although we have not always agreed, we have been able to work effectively
together in resolving our disagreements. I lok forward to continuing to
work with you in the 94th Congress.
ou truly,

Dear Mary
1 know that you share with me the satisfaction of a job
well done in finally putting through the much needed and overdue
minimum wage law Your support. along with the majority of the
Members, shows your concern for the millions of workers who
have to depend upon Congressional action for setting the
minimum wage scales.
While there were varying and diverse views on the substance
of the minimum wage bill, your contribution and assistance in
bringing together these divergent views was especially helpful
in the final passage of the bill, which means so much to our
lower-income citizens.
Also, at this time. I want to thank you tor your continuing
support in our efforts on the pension reform bill. With your
he p. we will move forward to assure American workers that the
promise of retirement income will not be an empty one, but a
meaningful reality, and 'our constituents stand to benefit ia
this respect as a result of your support.
While we have not always agreed on every issue or on every
vote regarding these two important measures, your willingness to
work for effective compromise and your thoughtful contributions
have given our Comniittee an outstanding record for this sessiuoa
of Congress.
ilook forward to continuing our excellent working
relationship.
With kindest regards, I am

Dear congressman Esch:
Although you and I are of differing pofitecal persuasions
and may disagree on certain issues. I want to write this letter
to thank you for your contribution to the work of our Special
Subcommittee on Labor this year. There were two major piedes
of legislation before our Subcommittee during this past session
and on each you played a significant role in bringing forth the
legislation:
" H. R. 13678 IS, 3203) to extend the coverage
and protection of the National Labor Relations
Act to employees of non-profit hospitals.
(P.L. 93-383)
*H. R. 77 (S. 14233 to permit employer contri-
butions to funds for financing legal services.
(P. L. 93-95)
You have consistently demonstrated by your record on our
Subcommittee your deep concern that the working ment and women of
America have equal rights and equal protection under the law. In
the coming year I am sure you will continue your concern as our
Subcommittee moves toward developing public employee collective
bargaining legislation.
Cordially,
Frank Thompson. Jr., airman
