Measure 2 would affect redistricting
If Ballot Measure 2 passes in the Nov. 4
•lections, the Oregon state constitution would
be amended to revise the current legislative
redistricting procedures.
Currently, the law requires the state
legislature to change the boundaries of the
legislative districts every 10 years to make
them as equal in population as possible
The Secretary of State does the redistric
ting if the legislature does not. after which the
Supreme Court reviews the process
With Ballot Measure 2 in effect, the law
would allow the court a longer time to review
the redistricting, and the Secretary of State
would have a longer time to make any needed
corrections
In addition, the new proposal would give
voters in the new district the right to rocall a
senator following redistricting, even if the
senator was elected within a district of dif
ferent boundaries
Proponents of the measure say that this
provision guarantees that the people of the
new districts are represented by the senator of
their choice.

Testimony by Bechtel
employees, including
engineers, suggests that the
company was spread too thin
and had to hire extra engineers
from outside the corporation to
complete the job Marbet ques
tions whether these "job shop"
engineers were properly
qualified to work on such a
project.
When Bechtel engineer lames
Edmunds was asked whether
the extra help was the
equivalent of temporary help
services like Kelly Ctrl,' he
responded, “I guess you could
call it that, yes."
Charles Hochgesany,
Bechtel's business and develop
ment representative for the
Pacific Northwest, was asked
during the proceedings if he
recalled whether one of the sub
jects not to be discussed with
PGE executives was the "high
ratio of new field hires versus
Bechtel-experienced nuclear
power personnel.” He replied.
"I didn't recall that. no. until it
says here. This paper says it
was.”
The documents also reveal
that the engineer responsible for
the original design of the
earthquake-resistant walls for
the control building. Moham
mad Ali, did not make
preliminary calculations to
determine if the design he chose
would be strong enough to
withstand a severe earthquake
According to a copy of a job
chart. Ali was also in charge of
design for the auxiliary
building and the turbine
building at the plant.
When Leslie Arvai. an
engineer and assistant group
supervisor on the project,
discovered what Ali had done,
he complained to superiors and.
“very shortly after. Mr. Ali left
Bechtel,” Arvai said in the
testimony.
The design was not changed
because, in the words of Peter
karpa. a project engineer, “if
vmi jeopardize the construction
schedule. then you cause a great
I os* of money to the client.”
Kagon noted, however, that
modifications were made to
reinforce the walls and that the
problem no longer exists.

"But sometimes we disagree
with the President. We
disagreed with him on foreign
policy and certain other
issues."
“If you're going to send
somebody there just to frustrate
everything the President does, I
guess that’s Mr. DeFazio's posi

for this district,” Dole said.
"You might as well leave (the

"The new federal tax reform means that
state taxes will be an important issue in the
next legislature. We must make Oregon's tax
system as fair and simple as possible. But
more than that, we must
insist that government
