Senator seeks legislation
to condemn nuclear arms
By GREG WASSON
Of the Emerald
SALEM - The world has only
limited experience with the ef
fects of nuclear attacks. Senate
Joint Memorial 5, sponsored by
Sen. Ted Kulongski, D-Junction
City, seeks to keep it that way.
If passed, the legislation
would send a message to Con
gress that the United States
should once more propose to
the Soviet Union that the arms
race be halted
The memorial received its first
public hearing Wednesday
evening before the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Kulon
goski called on the committee to
realize what nuclear war would
mean.
“What we are talking about
with this issue transcends the
idea of a strong defense and
addresses the very nature of
this nation’s survival."
Kulongoski told the commit
tee that he grew up believing
that the policy of MAD — Mu
tually Assured Destruction —
was an effective deterrent to
nuclear attacks. The theory
contends that if the U.S. and the
U S S R are both capable of in
flicting unacceptable damage
by a counter attack, neither will
initiate a conflict.
However, said Kulongoski,
there has been a change over
the last two years.
“The concepts that have
started sneaking out of the
defense department include
statements of first strike
capabilities, of limited nuclear
war, of acceptable death in a
nuclear exchange and of win
ning a nuclear war.”

District Rep. Jim Weaver
predicted that no one would
survive an all-out war.
“There may be areas that
would be relatively free of
radioactivity, but civilization
would be virtually destroyed and
the survivors would have great
difficulty reproducing the
species, Weaver said."
Weaver then catalogued the
spread of nuclear weapons.
“It’s generally recognized
that Israel, South America, and
Taiwan have the hydrogen
bomb, Pakistan and Iraq are
building it, India has the bomb,
as well as France and England."
Recounting congressional
hearings about the sale of nu
clear materials to Pakistan,
Weaver quoted Secretary of
State Alexander Haig as saying
“we must allow Pakistan to
satisfy its nuclear thirst.”
“So therefore,” said Weaver,
” whether by accident or by a
madman setting off a nuclear
arms exchange, we face total
world annihilation.” After the
hearing, Weaver referred to
Haig as "mad.”

Turning to civil defense,
Weaver predicted that against
nuclear attack no defense
would be effective. The explod
ing bombs would suck all the air
out of underground shelters
and, even if it didn’t, the radia
tion would linger longer than
people could survive, according
to Weaver.
Next, Weaver attacked the
proposed MX missile system
where American missiles would
be constantly in motion on
special rail.
"I consider the MX missile to
be the height of madness.
Secretary of Defense Wein
berger agreed last week that it
should be considered unreal,
Weaver said.”
According to Weaver, the MX
would unquestionably give the
U S. first strike capability,
throwing the Russians into a
panic and severely destabilizing
the planet.
"Think about what it would do
to world security if the Russians
thought we could destroy them
without having to destroy our
selves at the same time.”
Reagan’s fever clears up
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres.
Ronald Reagan, free from an
evening fever for the first time in
five days, is experiencing his
"best day yet” in the hospital,
his doctor said today.
Reagan, who has been work
ing about two hours a day, is
under doctors’ orders to work
no more than that when he re
turns to the White House.
His return now is expected
between Friday and Monday.
The White House press office,
which has cut its formal bulle
tins on the president’s health to
one a day, said this morning the
president “had no fever last
night when he went to bed or
this morning’’ after he awoke
about 6 a m.
