work as usual on Thursday.
Then officials would assess
what progress Congress is mak
ing toward approving a spen
ding bill acceptable to Reagan.
"The call will be made tomor
row (Thursday) morning,” said
budget office spokesman Edwin
L. Dale Jr.
An administration memoran
dum circulated among govern
ment offices Wednesday
reiterated that the House ver
sion of the omnibus spending
bill was unacceptable, and that
Reagan might make the same
judgment about the com
promise measure that finally
passes Congress.
The memorandum told
federal officials to be prepared
to carry out “agency shutdown
plans” if it appears that Con
gress will not act quickly to pro
vide money for the government.
Action on the long-term
money bill, and the expiring
stopgap measure, became
necessary because only four of
13 regular appropriations bills
for fiscal 1985 have been signed
into law.
Employees involved in na
tional security, health,
emergency and other essential
services would not be sent
home in any case.
Appropriations already have
been voted for the departments
of Justice, Commerce, State and
Housing and Urban Develop
ment, plus the Veterans Ad
ministration, the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration and the En
vironmental Protection Agency.
Deport guru,
senator urges
(AP) — A state senator has
called on Gov. Vic Atiyeh to de
mand the deportation of Indian
guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
to India.
Sen. Dell Isham, D-Lincoln
City, said Wednesday he has
sent a letter to Atiyeh asking
him to pressure federal im
migration authorities to deport
the guru.
Isham was also critical of the
governor’s recent call for parties
on both sides of the Rajneesh
controversy to “cool it.”
“We have been cooling it for
some time and I don’t see the
situation getting any better,” he
said. "The situation has actual
ly changed a great deal in the
last year and a half or two and I
don’t think we can continue to
cool it.”
The senator said Oregon
residents should be tolerant of
other religions but the Raj
neeshees have violated state
land use and election laws and
made Oregon a subject of
ridicule.
“What I’m asking the gover
nor to do is to demand from the
federal government that we
deport the Bhagwan immediate
ly,” Isham said. “If the
Bhagwan was a Mexican farm
worker he’d be put on the bus
today and sent back to Mexico."
Isham said he thinks the ap
proximately 1,700 Rajneeshees
in central Oregon would leave
the state if Rajneesh was
deported.
Denny Miles. Gov. Atiyeh's
press aide, said the governor
has nothing to do with immigra
tion matters and defended his
call to reduce tensions.
“The deportation issue is a
federal issue that we have
nothing to do with, neither Sen.
Isham nor the governor’s of
fice,” Miles said.
“The governor was calling for
a reduction of the physical ten
sions in central Oregon in terms
of an armed camp and various
threats,” he said, “he wanted it
made very clear that we are go
ing to prevent harm to any
Oregon resident whether they
are Rajneeshees or somebody
else.”
Miles added that Atiyeh is
also anxious to protect the elec
tion process in Wasco County
from abuse by either side.
Meanwhile, a U.S. Justice
Department official planned to
visit the City of Rajneesh
Wednesday to look into the
possibility of establishing a
rumor control center there.
John Mathis of the depart
ment’s Community Relations
Service in Seattle said Tuesday
he would serve “as a represen
tative in establishing a rumor
control network” during his
trip to the town.
State and federal officials
have said such a center could
help ease some of the tensions
created in Wasco County by the
influx of homeless people into
Rajneeshpuram.
Ma Prem Isabel, a Ra
jneeshpuram spokeswoman,
said a meeting regarding a
rumor control center was
scheduled for Wednesday in the
City of Rajneesh. Local, county,
state and federal officials were
expected to attend, she said.
The City of Rajneesh is
situated about 18 miles from the
city-commune of Raj
neeshpuram. It was known as
Antelope until the guru’s
followers voted last month to
change the town’s name.
Speakers urged about 1,400
people who gathered in The
Dalles Tuesday night to avoid
violence and abide by the law.
The meeting was called to con
sider resistance to any attempt
by the Rajneeshees to take over
the county.
"Those who joke about
violence, those who joke about
killing the Bhagwan and
anybody else like that, there is
no room (for them) here,” said
Garry McMurry, a Portland
lawyer who has argued two re
cent court cases against the
Rajneeshees.
“Violence is not an answer,”
he said. “Breaking the law is
not an answer. Our system will
prevail.”
