Senate urges halt of El Salvador aid
Oregon may be first to submit bill
By Michele Matassa
Of the Emerald
If Oregon senators had their
way, El Salvador would be $200
million poorer
Wednesday, the Senate voted
29-1 to send a memorandum to
Congress urging a halt of all aid
to the war-torn country. Before
the bill goes into effect, how
ever, it must pass in the House
Sen. Margie Hendriksen, D
Eugene, says she is surprised
and pleased at the bipartisan
support given Senate Joint
Memorial 6. Oregon may be the
first state to submit this type of
initiative, she says.
Hendriksen sponsored the bill
and carried it onto the Senate
floor from the judiciary com
mittee, where it received una
nimous support, she says.
This success for Hendriksen
comes after a defeat on the is
sue in the House in 1981. The
bill went down by only one vote
then, Hendriksen says.
She expressed relief .for the
attitude change over a period in
which "so much more death
and destruction has occurred ”
Between the 1981 vote and
this one, U S. aid to El Salvador
has skyrocketed from $35 mil
lion to $200 million, Hendriksen
says.
Registrar
mulls over
retirement
University Registrar Wanda
Johnson, who has worked in the
registrar's office for more than
two decades, said Tuesday that
she has decided to apply for
early retirement.
One of the reasons Johnson
said she decided to retire early
is her frustration with the lack of
computer registration and the
lack of funds and resources.
But the money problems are
not the only reasons, she said.
“I'm tired," Johnson said.
“It's time to step down. I think
it’s time to iet the younger
people come on board."
Johnson said she still has
another year under her contract
and that her request for early
retirement has yet to be
approved by Gerard Moseley,
associate provost for student
affairs.
“It’s irony giving $200 million
to this dictatorship and their
death squads” while the United
States is suffering economical
ly, she says.
Hendriksen compares this
Senate support to the
Vietnamese era. "when
different state legislatures
started petitioning to say, ‘Hey,
you’re going on the wrong track
here ' ”
Sen. Mae Yih, D-Albany,
provided the dissenting vote
She explained her stance
after the floor vote
"I don’t think that the state
government of Oregon should
be involved in the foreign affairs
of our national government. Nor
should we be involved in the
internal affairs of foreign coun
tries,” Yih said
Robert Guitteau, staff
member of the Eugene Council
for Human Rights in Latin
America, says the vote is
encouraging.
"The size of the vote should
be an indication to both our
congressmen and other state
legislatures that bipartisan
action needs to be taken to stop
military aid to El Salvador and to
save lives,” says Guitteau, who
worked on the issue with
Hendriksen.

Margie Hendriksen D-Eugene sponsored the bill to stop aid to El
Salvador.
He recognizes the difficulty of
reaching Pres. Ronald Reagan.
“As long as the Reagan
administration continues their
attitude of military victory, they
are going to resist any peaceful
solutions or even any peace ini
tiatives to resist their policy,”
Guitteau says.
Penetration of the admin
istration "means everybody in
organizations taking an active
stand within their organiza
tions,” he says.
"If their voices aren’t heard,
we are accomplices to the
action of our government," says
Guitteau.
