utilities. What would be in it for him? He is not a lawyer, so he hasn’t had them for clients, and I have found out that he doesn't even own related stocks or bonds. Also, as last week's front page story relates, Mr. Keesey and others heard the Virginia State Corporation Commissioners' special assistant explain How the State Corporation Commission sets the utilities' rates, so it's impossible for Congressman Robinson to be responsible for the death of elderly people because they couldn't afford electricity or fuel oil. Kenneth Robinson has voted for the energy legislation that would help to increase energy supplies and remove our dependence on the Arabs. The alternative this year has been the administration's bill, which will tax every drop and-or fume of fuel used, return some of the tax to certain persons, based on income (after the federal bureaucracy takes its cut, of course) and would not help develop one scintilla of additional energy—clean or dirty!

Since Mr. Keesey’s letter stresses the same theme as a radio spot put out by Congressman Robinson's opponent, is it possible that Mr. Fickett and Mr. Keesey would try to confuse our senior citizens into thinking that the National Council of Senior Citizens, organized by Labor, that gave Congressman Robinson an eight percent rating, is the same as the National Alliance of Senior Citizens, that gave him a 97 percent rating?

The false accusation that Congressman Robinson has a

vested interest in the gas, oil and utility companies is reminiscent of the type of slanderous campaign waged by Andrew Miller's father against Senator Byrd’s father in the 1940’s. The irony of "Andy” now crouching under Senator Byrd’s wing is not lost on many of us native Virginians, though Mr. Keesey may not be aware of it since he’s from Pennsylvania.
