Bills, Legislative

United States. Congress

A three-panel cartoon highlights legislator attendance before and after bills go into effect. The cartoonist suggests the introduction of a timeclock and reduction in pay as a solution for high absentee rates among Congressmen.

Captions: "Under one: Before the Bill goes into effect. Under two: A session of Congress after the bill goes into effect. Under three: Why not also introduce a Time Clock."
