Frelinghuysen
Well, of course, maybe I should explain a little bit more about the fifth district. In the first place it is, has been, and is, and I'm sure will continue to be, strongly Republican. It's a very good district, it has a lot of variety. There are a good many farmers, there are a great many commuters, residents, and there is a growing industrialization of the area. So it's a good cross-section of America. I'm very glad to represent as articulate and intelligent a constituency as I have. I don't think that my district or the state as such will be overly concerned about the farm problem. None of us are happy if farm prices fall, and my constituents are certainly no exception. But, generally speaking, as far as I can find public opinion in the district, the residents of New Jersey are interested in a flexible price support program, if we can work that out.
