House approves
added benefits
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House voted 417-4 Tuesday to
guarantee Social Security reci
pients a cost-of-living raise Jan.
1 even if inflation is held below
3 percent.
There are technical dif
ferences between the House and
Senate versions, so the measure
will have to get final approval
from the Senate before going to
President Reagan for his
signature.
The Senate already has ap
proved the legislation, which
was sought by Reagan in July
when it looked as though the 3
percent trigger on which cur
rent law bases a cost-of-living
increase would not be met.
However, the latest Consumer
Price Index figures indicate that
if current trends continue, there
will be a cost-of-living increase
ranging between 3.3 percent
and 3.6 percent even without
the legislation, according to the
House Ways and Means
Committee.
m present, tne average mon
thly benefit for an individual is
$430, said Social Security
spokesman Jim Brown. It would
go up by about $12 a month if
the inflation increase is 3 per
cent, he said.
The measure received strong
support from the president and
House Speaker Tip O’Neill, D
Mass.
But Rep. J. J. Pickle, D-Texas,
chairman of the Ways and
Means’ subcommittee on Social
Security, said in floor debate
that the bill is “almost certain
ly” of no substantive benefit to
the American public.
"From beginning to end, this
bill has been little more than a
political football,” said Pickle.
He added that the public
should know that the “real
reason” the bill is being con
sidered "is because President
Reagan, as part of his campaign
strategy, chose to first frighten
the elderly by saying their
benefits were threatened and
then to assure them by urging
the Congress to guarantee the
cost-of-living would be paid.”
In a heated exchange, Rep.
Barber B. Conabie Jr., R-N.Y.,
said that if the bill wasn’t pass
ed, "the Democrats would
eventually claim that somehow
the president manipulated the
inflation rate to prevent the
elderly from getting the cost of
living.”
Timber swings
to Jim Weaver
(AP) — In recent years voters
in Oregon’s 4th District could
count on two things about their
congressional candidates.
The Republican challenger
» ...
would get plenty of campaign
money from timber companies
unhappy with their U.S.
representative.
And, because of his maverick
record the Democratic incum
bent, Jim Weaver of Eugene,
could expect few contributions
from business and labor
political action committees.
This year, however, the pic
ture is a little different in the
district that takes in four coun
ties, including Lane, and parts
of four others.
Bruce Long of Roseburg,
Weaver’s Republican opponent
in the Nov. 6 general election,
has raised only $4,000 from
timber company executives.
The amount is 42 percent of
Long’s contributions to date,
but far short of what timber ex
ecutives and companies gave to
Weaver’s Republican op
ponents in 1980 and 1982.
Though records filed with the
secretary of state in Salem show
he had raised only $9,425 and
spent $8,800 in the first six
months of this year, Long said
he will collect enough money
for his fall campaign.
Long, a Douglas County com
missioner, said last week that if
the money pledged to his cam
paign materializes he will have
enough to advertise his stand on
the issues.
Four of every 10 dollars Long
has collected so far come from
timber industry sources.
But Long's total of $4,000 so
far is half the amount raised by
Ross Anthony, Weaver’s 1982
opponent, and a fraction of the
amount raised by Mike Fit
zgerald, Weaver’s 1980
opponent.
LAjug saiu mere 5 a simple ex
planation for the lack of timber
industry contributions to his
campaign.
Industry executives have
been urging Congress to pass
legislation to relieve their com
panies of high-priced federal
timber contracts. Weaver sits on
the forests subcommittee of the
House Agriculture Committee,
which has passed such
legislation.
“Obviously, they’re in a
tenuous position with contract
termination legislation pen
ding, which is a sensitive
political issue on their part,"
Long said.
“They face potential
bankruptcy. I’m not sure they
feel they’re in a position to op
pose a person who might sup
port thai bill, even though they
may not agree with the past
practices of that
representative.”
The Senate attached a timber
contract relief proposal to a
House bill sponsored by Weaver
and passed the amended bill
last week. The House passed it
Monday and sent it to the White
House for President Reagan’s
signature.
In 1982, when the issue was
pending before Congress,
Weaver received his first con
tributions from timber interests.
