Local conservationists rally behind Carter
By E G. WHITE-SWIFT

Many of Oregon's environmen
tal activists are beginning to back
former Georgia Gov. Jimmy
Carter’s presidential bid.
After listening to a speech by
Carter’s environmental aide last
weekend in Eugene, a letterhead
committee of Oregon conser
vationists for Carter was formed.
“The purpose erf the letterhead
committee," states member
Maradel Gale, "is to send out in
formation to concerned environ
mentalists in Oregon about the
candidates' environmental
stands. Carter’s environmental
stands are not well known in
Oregon, just as Tom McCall’s pos
itions were unfamiliar to Geor
gians.”
Some conservationists are
holding back their support of Car
ter in preference to Morris Udall,
according to one local environ
mentalist. in order to show support
for his environmental voting re
cord. However, other conser
vationists consider Carter’s en
vironmental stands to be as good
as Udall’s and want to support the
most probable nominee. Barring
some unforeseen development,
they think that person is Carter.
Two recent events have swung
many environmentalists into the
peanut farmers' camp. A profile of
candidates prepared by the Na
tional League of Conservation
Voters (NLCV) was published by
the Sierra Club Committee on
Political Education on May 1 of
this year.
"Perhaps Carter’s most
TNs report card was prepared by the National League of Conservation Voters. Copies of the full
League profiles of presidential candidates can be obtained for $2 from the CLCV, 529 Commercial
St. San Francisco. CA, 94111.

courageous action was his deci
sion to block construction of the
Sprewell Bluffs dam on the Flint
River,” states the profile text. “The
project was backed enthusiasti
cally by all previous governors
and by the state legislature. The
dam would have ruined one of the
most scenic rivers in the state of
Georgia."
The NLCV report also praises
Udall. “Udall has probably done
more than any other candidate to
dispel industry arguments that the
environment must be sacrificed in
the name of energy production
and economic growth.
‘Ten years before Earth Day,”
continues the report, “Udall
warned his more shortsighted col
leagues of the urgent need for a
stable population and responsible
land use policies to prevent deple
tion of the nation’s resources.”
To convince environmentalists
of Carter’s background, Carlton
Neville, Carter’s environmental
aide, came to Eugene last
weekend. Neville, a mathematics
professor at Georgia'S Kennesaw
College and leader of the Georgia
Audubon Society, stated, “While
Georgia governor, Jimmy Carter
was a friend of the environmen
talists.
“As governor, he supported
wild rivers, land use planning,
natural areas, and reorganized
the department of natural re
sources," Neville said.
