Dellenback says ‘not yet
on Watergate impeachment
Congressman John Dellenback
told a press conference Friday
morning that “there has been
injury done” both to the office of
the President and to the image of
our nation by the disclosures in
the Watergate affair.
Dellenback refused to
speculate on what course the
ongoing Senate investigation
might take, but said that it
would “undoubtedly broaden
what we now know.”
The Fourth District
representative emphasized that
he did not feel President Nixon
“was not in any way involved.”
He said, “This is not the time to
talk about impeachment.”
Asked whether the President
has suffered a loss of confidence
in his choice of staff, Dellenback
replied, “There is indeed a loss in
confidence. I think this thing has
affected all facets of government
in Washington.”
Dellenback said he believes
that Watergate did not have an
entirely adverse effect, in
that “it did bring out things that
have probably been going on for
some time.”
Dellenback said that while he
would not speculate as to the guilt
or innocence of those involved in
Watergate, he felt it should be
understood “that this is not a
Republican party impropriety. It
involved the Committee to Re
Elect the President.”
On Cambodia, Dellenback said
his recent vote against further
military aid to that nation “is
consistent with my past record.”
Having withdrawn troops from
Vietnam and having obtained the
release of our POWs, “it would be

□ Problems stimulate me.
□ Problems upset me.
If you want to earn a living in a field that con
stantly offers new and exciting perspectives —
new problems to solve—consider the work of the
CPA.
A CPA has to grasp the essentials of many
different fields, and have the independence to
form objective opinions about them.
He’s more in demand than ever before, by
corporations, non-profit agencies, government
bodies at all levels.
Why? Because the increasing complexity
of business requires new concepts of fact
gathering, problem-solving, and communication
of economic information.
The CPA, for example, is one of the leaders
in planning new ways to use computer systems.
He might also be called upon to weigh the
relative merits of social programs in terms of
available resources, helping to shape an urban
renewal program.
So if problems intrigue you, and if you have
aptitude for concentrated, meticulous, creative
thinking, you might make a good CPA—in a pub
lic accounting firm, in industry, education or
government. At some point, you might even de
cide to form a firm of your own.

a bad time to start reversing
ourselves,” he said.
Dellenback said that he felt the
vote came at an important point
in time. ‘‘It was the time for
Congress to assert itself,” he
said, but warned that “anyone
v-ho thinks congressional action
will have immediate effect” is
deluding himself. The President
could conceivably continue to
conduct bombing in Cambodia
without congressional approval,
“but only for a short period of
time and then the available funds
would run out,” he said.
The Congressman also com
mented on the energy crisis. “It’s
not a vague and remote threat,”
he said. “We have already en
tered the first stages of the im
pending energy crisis.”
Dellenback was disappointed in
the President’s recent message
concerning energy resources,
saying the President did not go
far enough. He suggested three
initial possibilities to help alle
viate the problem: “Developing
new energy resources through a
massive research and
development program, the
creation of a national con
servation ethic, and the
establishment of a Department of
Energy and National Resour
ces.”
Dellenback termed the
proposed Alaska oil pipeline
“merely an incremental source,
though an important one.”
He was also concerned about
the possible nationalization of
American oil resources in Libya
by the Libyan government.
Dellenback concluded that it
“is necessary for citizens to
initiate action” so that direct
government intervention would
not become necessary.

supposed to ensure “the
democratic liberties of the
people: personal freedom,
freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, freedom of meeting,
freedom of organization, freedom
of political activities, freedom of
belief, freedom of movement..
(Chapter 4, Article 11).
“The United States govern
ment and the Thieu regime,”
says Thien, “are not living up to
that agreement one bit. I just
want to go back to my country, a
part controlled by the PRG
(Provisional Revolutionary
Government of South Vietnam,
Viet Cong). The United States
government has signed an
agreement, an instrument of
trust, they should at least honor it
with the Vietnamese people.”
Thien’s busy schedule in
Eugene includes many activities
regarding his upcoming defense
and talks with the press and
television. To “get people to
listen, contribute to my case or
write to their Congressmen and
Senators,” is Thien’s main ob
jective, so that other political
prisoners, many of them, will not
be continually subjected to the
pain and torture that the Thieu
government is inflicting on the
people of South Vietnam.”

political prisoners, should con

“All we want is peace,” says
Thien. “We want to live in peace,
exist in peace and stay in peace.”
