Reagan’s trip to greet
Queen not really cheap
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres. Ronald Reagan’s trip to California
to welcome Queen Elizabeth II will cost taxpayers at least $175,000,
but that is an extremely conservative figure.
Many costs are absorbed by the military or Secret Service and
will never be known
In addition, the figure does not include costs of advance work
by White House aides, who have made numerous trips to California
in the past several months to plan the events for the queen’s visit
The actual cost could end up to be five or even 10 times the
estimated amount
The $175,000 was calculated — from White House estimates —
this way:
Reagan will spend about 12 hours on Air Force One, which
costs $5,566 an hour to operate That comes to $66,792.
He will spend about two hours on the presidential helicopter,
Marine One And when Reagan uses a helicopter, two other
choppers are used at the same time: one for Secret Service and one
for White House staff The helicopters cost $1,334 an hour to
operate For six hours, that comes to $8,004
About 50 members of the White House staff will accompany
Reagan to California Their hotel and meal expenses will cost an
estimated $40,000
Hotel and meal expenses for Secret Service agents, who guard
the president, his wife, and the queen in three separate shifts, will
be at least as much as $40,000
The catering for the official dinner in the queen’s honor at the
deYoung Museum in San Francisco was estimated at $20,000
Another $20,000 for other expenses in connection with the dinner,
such as flowers, has been donated by San Francisco corporations
There’s a better way
to get there this Spring.

Grocers pack state Legislature
protesting bill to tax soda pop
J SALEM (AP) - Soft drink and
grocery industry representa
tives packed a Capitol hearing
Monday to protest a bill that
would tax soda pop to finance a
new public works program
“We don’t need another level
of bureaucracy and we don't
need another tax,” Salem
grocery store operator Bill Frey
told the House Intergovern
mental Affairs Committee
Frey and other opponents of
the measure, HB2757, said a
soda pop tax is just a sales tax
that would mean higher prices
to consumers.
The bill would establish a
civilian conservation corps,
similar to a program operated in
California, that would give one
year public works jobs to about
500 people ages 18-23
The $7 5 million estimated
annual cost of the Oregon pro
gram would be paid with a pop
tax amounting to roughly 1 cent
per 16-ounce container
Jim Forest, president of the
Association of Oregon Food
Industries, said a 1-cent tax per
bottle at the wholesale level
would amount to a price boost
of close to 2 cents a bottle by the
time the cost was passed along
by distributors and retailers
Forest said the price increase
would fall especially hard on
elderly people, who he said
make up a large share of the
volume purchases of pop.
Reagan Matsler of Eugene,
president of the Oregon Soft
Drink Association, said it would
be unfair to single out one busi
ness for taxation to finance a
new government program
