Committee is so busy with other business that it may be late 1973 before it acts.
REFORM OF THE PRIVATE PENSION SYSTEM MAY NOT PASS this year, either. A vote on pension legislation by the Senate is assured some time this fall. But the Senate bill will be assigned to Ways and Means on the House side, which already has a schedule jammed with the trade and tax-reform legislation.
National health insurance proposals won't even be considered this year. They will begin the legislative journey in 1974.

Construction Equipment Deliveries Lag
Construction equipment deliveries are slow and little improvement is seen, says the Associated Equipment Distributors. According to the association, manufacturers simply are unable to meet the demand for orders this year. Some of the largest construction equipment producers in the U.S. are reporting stretched-out delivery schedules which, they say, may not improve until late summer or early fall.

The Perlite Way to Fill a Cavity
Heat transmission can be reduced by 50% or more when silicone treated perlite loose fill insulation is poured into the hollow cores of concrete block or cavity type masonry walls. In fact, cavity walls of face brick and tile show a 63% reduction! But that's not all. Silicone treated perlite loose fill insulation is water repellent-indefinitely.
Specs call for a concrete block wall? Perlite loose fill insulation can help too! By filling the core holes with perlite loose fill insulation your fire rating will be doubled to 4 hours and your "U" factor improved by 54%. And you don't have to worry about permanence. Silicone treated perlite is inorganic and rot, vermin and termite proof. And it's non-combustible with its fusion point of 2300°F.
Even a veneer wall of brick and concrete block can show a 52% improvement in insulating value when filled with loose fill perlite. Don't worry about settling -silicone treated perlite supports its own weight in the wall without settling-and it's easy to handle too! Thanks to its countless glass-like cells it's light-weight and easily poured. It's quick-it's inexpensive and it's permanent-the perfect material for insulating masonry walls.
