Nuke free task force agrees upon
two versions during final meeting
By Stephen Maher
Emerald Associate Editor
The Eugene Nucleur Free
Zone Task Force decided Friday
to forward two versions of the
nuclear free zone ordinance to
the Eugene City Council.
The two versions include the
so-called "minimally revised
version" proposed by five
members of the task force in ear
ly October, and one proposed
by Councilman Rob Bennett on
Friday.
Two earlier versions that
caused an uproar in September
and that led to the creation of
the minimally revised version
were discarded by task force
members at the meeting.
The public outcry, which
peaked at a Oct. 19 task force
hearing, played a major part in
the task force's decision to
discard the two earlier versions,
said task force member David
Zupan.
"It was a rather dramatic tur
naround," Zupan added.

The minimally revised ver
sion is considered similar to the
original ordinance. It would
ban the manufacture of “Star
Wars” defensive systems and
would allow for a seven
member Nuclear Free Zone
Board to be elected by Eugene
voters, both aspects of the
original ordinance It
unanimously was approved by
task force members on Friday.
The Bennett version, approv
ed by a 7-4 vote on Friday, is
similar to one of the two
discarded versions. It would
allow the manufacture of defen
sive systems and delivery
systems in Eugene, and would
create a nine-member board to
be appointed by the City
Council.
Although Zupan believes the
City Council prefers an ap
pointed board rather than an
elected one. “the critical thing
is the scope of the ordinance."
he said.

election. The City Council then
appointed a 13-member task
force in January 1987 to redraft
the ordinance and clarify legal
issues
The task force, however, re
mained divided during the en
suing months about the defini
tions and scope of the
ordinance.
The City Council is expected
to take up the matter at u Dec. 7
work session There remains the
possibility that the City Council
may decide to submit both ver
sions to voters so they can
decide which one they prefer.
Hut Zupan believes such action
would be a mistake
"It does seem questionable to
put this back on the ballot," he
said. "So much ground work
has gone into it let’s get on
with it."
"They (the City Council)
don’t want to have to make a
tough decision themselves."
