Nuclear arms disputed, refuted
as supporters defend measures
By Deborah fanes
of tko hmW
Controversy over Ballot
Measures IB. 18 and 51 came to
a head last night as opponents
and supporters defended their
positions in a debate at the
Eugene City Hall.
Measure 16 would grant tax
credits to Oregon companies
that made a conversion from
production of nuclear arms
components to production of
consumer goods. Measure IB
would make I.ane County a
nuclear-free zone and Measure
51 would declare Eugene a
nuclear-free zone with much
stricter guidelines than its l^ane
County counterpart
Measure 51 bans the produc
tion. testing, waste disposal and
transportation of nuclear
weapons in Eugene. In addi
tion, the measure would
designate a seven- person
elected board to oversee com
pliance and issue fines for viola
tions. "These measures ad
dress global issues from a local
base and allow us to say we
don't want to be part of the
suicide pact.” said Olive
Bowers, representative from
Citizens for a Nuclear Free
Oregon.
Opponents argued that the
measures would jeopardize
Lane County citizens' security
and violate their rights to be
defended.
“These measures tie the
hands of individuals who care
about defending themselves.”
said Toni Nathan of the Liber
tarian Party and member of the
Concerned Citizens for Defense.
Robert Bennett, former
Lockheed Aerospace Engineer,
railed against Measure 51 as
"bad legislation.” and objected
to the clause that allows private
citizens to issue an injunction
against any company they
believe is in violation of the
measure.
David Oaks of Political Ac
tion for Lasting Security
responded that with Measure
51's passage, city council

members could alter the
language of the ordinance.
"City Council should start
from scratch on 51. It’s coward
ly to do a patch-up job." Ben
nett said.
The six-member panel focus
ed their discussion on the moral
issues instead of the implica
tions of the measures, to the
chagrin of some audience
members.
"They talked of peripheral
issues and not about the
specifics of the measures. We're
bitterly disappointed,” said J.K.
Byrne, observer.
"We have a responsibility to
protect Europe and Japan We
have a nuclear umbrella,"
Nathan said.
Eugene needs to defend itself
not against the Soviets, but
rather the defense industry that
"is ripping us all off," Oaks
said. “Who are defending the
old people starving in the
street? The ones backing these
measures, that’s who,” he
added.
The measures would be
detrimental to Oregon's already
depressed economy by scaring
away potential defense industry
contracts, argued opponents.
Companies based in Lane
County that are involved in pro
duction of nuclear components
would be forced to leave if
Measure 51 passed, Bennett
said.
“Nuclear defense projects are
the cutting edge of new
technology. These projects
always have commercial ap
plications later.” Bennett said.
The possibility of economic
spin-off from defense projects to
Oregon's economy is unlikely,
as demonstrated in the in
significant contribution since
the beginning of the Cold War.
said Steve johnson of Decision
Research. "We don’t want that
type of employment. The
morality of making nuclear sub
components is that they are
helping with mass destruction.
We are asking people to think
about that.” he said.
But attempts to outlaw
nuclear arms production as
outlined in Measure 16 are
futile, Nathan believes. “It
would just create a black market
on technology. The genie is
already out of the bottle.”
The Soviet Union has in
itiated arms reduction by plac
ing an unilateral moratorium on
their nuclear arms testing 14
months ago, according to
lohnson. “That must mean they
are nuclear wimps,” quipped
lohnson.
City Councilor Freeman
ilolmer acknowledged that the
United States has the potential
to kill everyone on the planet.
“But the Russians are building
more and we must keep pace
with them.”
