The student opens the door to the
small house sandwiched between
White’s Auto Store and the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service. She
gives her name to the receptionist
and fills out a questionnaire.
Two hours later she has had a pap
smear (a pelvic cancer examination),
a blood and a urine test and a blood
pressure reading and has received
confidential counseling. As she walks
out the door to the waiting area, the
receptionist gives her a supply of
birth control pills.
The young woman has just visited
Planned Parenthood of Brazos Coun
ty on College Main in College Sta
tion.
“Women that are unemployed or
earn below a certain amount of
money will get financial assistance
from government funds,” Sally Mil
ler, clinic coordinator, said. “We are
not a government office. We are a
private, non-profit organization that
operates with some government
funds.
“Many people think Planned
Parenthood is a free clinic, but it’s
not,” Miller said.
However, for patients in financial
need the private clinic has gov
ernmental funds that are appropri
ated by Congress every year.
Appropriation of Title XX funds,
$198 million for 1980 family services
in Texas, has been delayed in the US
Congress.
Due to this delay, family planning
services in Texas, including Planned
Parenthood of Houston and South
east Texas Inc., suffered a 15percent
budget cut this year.
Planned Parenthood had to revert
its planned spending level to the cur
rent fiscal year, 1979-80, which was

in effect a budget cut, according to
R.E. Taylor, executive director of
Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood of Houston
operates in five counties, including
two clinics in College Station and
Bryan. Other clinics are in Houston,
Lufkin, Rosenberg and Huntsville.
Congress’ failure to appropriate
the already-approved funds for fiscal
year 1980, which started September
1979, affected all the clinics severe
ly, Miller said.
“This year Congress reverted to
the basic entitlement amount when
budgeting the Title XX money,” said
Dr. Lewis Mundy, of the Texas De
partment of Human Resources in
Austin. Compared to the previous
year, these government funds were
cut by 13 percent or $29.5 million,
said William Wagner, of the TDHR.
The basic entitlement amount is
the amount below which Congress
can not legally cut funds for family
services, Mundy said. Congress is
expected to raise the allotted money
above the basic amount, but it is not
known when, Mundy said.
The funds, which are accumulated
in accounts allotted by the TDHR in
Austin, will be used up soon, Miller
said.
“We will have to ask everybody to
pay for the services now, ” Miller
said. “Although we won’t turn any
body away, we will require
documented proof of financial
need.”
Planned Parenthood’s 1979 report
shows 44 percent income from gov
ernment funds, 44 percent from pa
tient fees and 10.7 percent from
charitable contributions.
“We’ll still see patients that can’t
pay, but of course it would help if
everybody paid, and the fees are not
too high,” Miller said.
Each patient pays for the birth
control of her choice in addition to a
$15 fee for the examination.
Students make up about 70 per
cent of the patients that seek counsel
on birth control and related subjects
at the clinic, Miller said. Eighty per
cent of these are eligible for govern
ment funds, Miller said.
Since the clinic opened here in
1975 the number of patients has
steadily increased, Miller said. Ab
out five thousand women were ex
amined in 1979, an increase of 34
percent from the previous year.
Counseling at the clinic includes
information on condoms and foam,
birth control pills, diaphragms, in
trauterine devices and natural birth
control.
Trained community volunteers
provide education on family plan
ning and related subjects upon re
quest.

Senate filibuster ends
hstr
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Senate
Tuesday voted to cut off a 5-day-old
filibuster against President Carter’s
draft registration plan.
Opponents of the plan to register
19- and 20-year-old men for a possi
ble draft have been delaying action
on the bill since last Wednesday by
engaging in “extended debate” on
the measure.
Senate Democratic leader Robert
Byrd, saying the House and Senate
have been considering the draft and
registration issues for over a year,
urged his colleagues to vote to end
the debate on the first try.
The opponents were optimistic
they could defeat the cloture move
on the first vote despite Byrd’s pleas
for support.
The vote to limit further debate
was 62-32.
A vote of 60 senators is required to
limit debate on a bill. Once cloture is
invoked, each senator has one addi
tional hour to speak on the bill.
The bill before the Senate would
transfer $13.3 million to the Selec
tive Service System to conduct reg
istration of all 19- and 20-year-old
men this summer.
Opponents of the House-passed
registration bill had filed 89 possible
amendments to the bill, but only a
handful were expected to be acted on
before the bill comes up for final pas
sage.
The bill went through its fourth
day of inconclusive debate Monday
with no action on any of the expected
amendments.
Senate Republican leader Ho
ward Baker said at the start of Tues
day’s session the final vote on the bill
could come today if the cloture move
succeeded.
Baker said he expects the bill to
pass “by a good margin” when the
final vote does come.
Opponents of the bill lobbied hard
Monday to head off the cloture vote.
“The issue of draft registration is
just too significant to be dealt with in
a cursory manner,” Sen. Mark Hat
field, R-Ore., said Monday in a letter
to his colleagues.
If the cloture move had failed on
the first try, Byrd was expected to
file a petition seeking another vote in
the next day or two.
Hatfield, leading what he de
scribed as “extended debate” on the
bill, wanted to delay Senate itSi
on the measure in hopes puli 53 ^ T ues< -l a y
opposition to the plan will rnounla legislature
prevent its passage.
In addition to Hatfield
officials of several civil liberl*
groups also sent letters to
of the Senate urging them to leli
bate continue.
The joint letter insisted the dels
so far “is not a frivolous exercisei
signed to waste the time of them
ate. The debate on draft registralti
is far-reaching and deeply substt
tive.”
The letter was signed by official!)
the American Civil Liberties Unin
the National Organization
Women, National Women's Pol
Caucus, Americans for Demote
Action, and the National Url
League.
