Eckhardt said his Committee wouldtake up bills dealing with "transporta-tion, safety, air pollution and federalhealth programs, and oil and gas regu-lation", stating that such legislation

would be "vital to the Port, HarrisCounty and Texas".

Eckhardt commented on the economicimpact of the Port and Ship Channelon the economy of Houston and statedthat "I am told roughly one third ofevery dollar spent in Houston stemseither directly or indirectly from thePort and its allied activities".

CONGRESSMAN ECKHARDT

Eckhardt NamedTo ImportantHouse Committee

Congressman Bob Eckhardt of the 8thCongressional District of Texas has beenelected to t’he House Committee on Inter-state and Foreign Commerce. The northside of the Houston Ship Channel iswithin Congressman Eckhardt’s district.

Eckhardt said his Committee wouldbe "dealing with legislation affecting thePort of Houston and this legislation willbe critical to the growth of Houston andHarris County, one of the world’sgreatest transportation and petrochemi-cal centers."

Eckhardt, from ’his days as a memberof the State Legislature from HarrisCounty, has been interested in the ShipChannel and said he was studyingrecommendations that the Ship Channelbe widened and deepened.

The Channel presently is 40 feet deepover most of its course and 400 feetwide. Recommendations have been madefor widening it to 800 feet in its lowerreaches and deepening it even further.However, 45 feet would be a maximumdepth due to the Washburn Tunnel con-necting tile north and south side of theChannel from Galea Park to Pasadena.

Eckhardt said his personal study ofshipping indicated the trend is to longer
