Report charges pork-barreling
mali'a:
WASHINGTON (AP) —
House Speaker Tom Foley.
Oregon Sen Mark Hatfield
and Washington Rep. Norm
Dicks are among lawmakers
who secured pork barret
spending lor constituents and special interests him
year, a watchdog group said Tuesday
But Foley and aides to the other lawmakers
defended the projects, including $10 million for
the Oregon Health Sciences University and S2 mil
lion for a National Park Service Interpretive dis
play in Tacoma. Wash.
In its annual "Congressional Pig Hook Summa
ry. " the non profit group Citizens Against Govern
ment Waste reported that despite growing concern
about the deficit, wasteful spending continues
"The '1993 Congressional Pig Book Summary'
outlines some of the most egregious examples of
wasteful pork-barrel spending approved by a Con
gress claiming to have c ut the budget to the bom*,
the group reported, "Once these projects are fund
ed, they grow like a cancer, consuming more and
more tax dollars every year."
The list includes $19 7 million for the Interna
tional Fund for Ireland. The group said congres
sional committee sources told thorn the money
was requested by Foley, D-Wash
In the past. American taxpayer dollars in the
fund have been used for a golf video and pony
trekking centers, the group said.
Hut Foley told reporters the money goes to cre
ate jobs in Ireland to help "end the sectional, sec
tartan fighting and violent:*).
”1 think it's one of th«* best investments we make
abroad in any country for any purpose, the speak
er said.
Congress has been appropriating about $20 mil
lion annually for the fund since 1086. said Robin
Webb, an aide to Foley. The European Communi
ty. Canada and Australia also contribute in an
effort to t rente jobs in Ireland, she said.
"There is a bipartisan group of alnnit 100 mem
bers of Congress — Friends of Ireland — who have
been sympathetic to the cause of the International
Fund for Ireland.” she said, adding that the mon
ey is directed at both Irish Protestants and
Catholics.
Citizens Against Government Waste said last
year’s energy and water appropriation bill ear
marked $10 million for the Ambulatory Research
and Education Building at Oregon Health Sciences
University,
Is that a pork barrel project?
"Absolutely not.” said Bill Colder, Hatfield's
press secretary.
"It is part of n continuing vision Mark Hatfield
has to improve the medical research facilities in
Oregon, to moke it one of the leading research
fa( ilities in the country." Calder said.
"Sen Hatfield is committed to medical research
throughout the country and has appropriate mea
sures to see the funding is adequate through a vari
ety of appropriations bills. Most of the federal
grants for research are funded through the energy
•and water bill." he said.
Oregon may restrict
triple-trailers’ access
PORTLAND (AP) — The stale Deportment of Transportation
is proposing a l»an on triple-trailer rigs for weekends and holi
days on some two-lane highways in Oregon.
The administrative rule would affect 500 of the 3,500 miles
that are open to triple trailers
Marshall Ooba. vice president for government relations of the
Oregon Trucking Associations, estimated that the restrictions
would add millions of dollars to shipping costs because goods
would have to In* transported in smaller trucks.
But the industry supports the restrictions liecause it wants to
maintain a good safety record and reduce annoyances to
motorists on crowded two-lane highways, he said.
"All we're trying to do is make triples better." he said.
The restrictions are part of a triple trailer safety package
approved by the transportation department last week The
administrative rules would take effect as early as March 16.
unless they are challenged by at least It) citizens or an organi
zation with 10 or more memtiers The state would then hold a
hearing before deciding whether to adopt the rules
A statewide ballot measure that would have banner! triple
trailer rigs on all Oregon roadways was soundly rejected by vot
ers last fall Bills have been introdui ed in the Legislature to
limit triple trailers to interstate highways.
Legislator
may run for
governor
KLAMATH FALLS (AP) —
Kt'p. Bob Smith said Tuesday he
is considering running for gov
ernor.
"It is obvious, under the lead
ership of Gov. Barbara Roberts,
that Oregon needs leadership,"
the Oregon Republican said
from his office in Washington,
D.C. "Oregon is in the most des
perate state it has been in in my
memory."
Smith said he is exploring
whether Oregon wants a fiscal
conservative like himself to
cope with the budget constraints
of the Measure 5 property tax
limit.
A decision isn't likely until
next fall, he said.
Roberts has said she will seek
a second term.
