Packwood has 1998 on his mind
PORTLAND
(AP) — Sen. Hob
Pack wood, looking
post his current
legal troubles, told business load
ers Tuesday he would run for re
election in 1998 — then said he
was only joking
"I would hope all my predic
tions come true when I run for re
election in 1998." Puck wood said
in concluding a speech on trade
issues The audience greeted the
comment with mild applause.
In an interview later. Pack
wood said he wouldn’t really
make that dia tsion until Novem
In-r 1997.
"It was a remark I made pure
ly in humor." lie said.
The Senate Kthics Committee
is investigating allegations that
Pack wood made unwanted sox
mil advances toward more than
two dozen women Information
diM losed during that imjuirs has
led to a criminal investigation
into the senator's dealings with
lobbyists
A spokesman for the state
Republican Partv. )oel Cole, said
he couldn't comment aliout Pack
wood's plans for the 1998 elec -
tion.
"We re worrying about 1994
And then we ll worry uIkiuI 1996.
We’ll worry about 1998 when we
gel there." Cole said.
Betty Roberts, a member of
Oregonians for Ethical Repre
sentation. a group that has sought
Packwood's dismissal from the
Senate, wasn't so sure Pack wood
was joking.
"1 think he's putting out a flam.
I think he's trying to see how
people react," said Rolierts. a for
mer Oregon Supreme Court jus
tice who once ran against Pack
wood
A Republican, Packwood first
went to the Senate in 1988
Between 20 and :t() protesters
milled around outside the hotel
where Packwood spoke Tuesday
morning After the breakfast
meeting, he avoided them, slip
ping out through the hotel park
ing garage and into a Wailing van
He later visited the new Coast
Guard Air Station in Newport, on
the Oregon Coast, and rode in a
helicopter
Packwood heads Nick to Wash
ington on Wednesday
During his 10-dav tour of Ins
home state. Packwood has criti
cized one of his accusers and
attacked the media, singling out
news stories about him.
On Tuesday. Packwood
objected to an Associated Press
story in December that said he
repeatedly backed lobbyist
Ronald Crawford's interests in
the months after Crawford
offered the senator's wife a job
in 1990.
f’ackwood's was the only neg
ative vote when the Senate Com
merce Committee approved leg
islation to regulate cable
television. Packwood also
backed bills advocated by the
intercity bus industry and phar
maceutical companies — all
interests represented by Craw
ford.
And Packwood helped Craw
ford's wife secure an appoint
ment to the International Trade
Commission despite strong Sen
ate opposition.
Pac kwood said Tuesday he has
consistently voted in favor of
deregulating industries such as
cable television and transporta
tion.
He said Crawford lobbied him
to vote for the B-2 bomber, but
ttint be opposed it.
The APstands by its story, (.be
gun Bureau Chief Eva Parziale
said.
"We spoke to the senator's
spokesman at the time we wrote
the story and the story stands on
its own," she said.
Indian woman regains heritage
MISSION (AIM — An American Indian woman
who spent 1H years in a foster home says she II
spend the rest of her life learning about her fami
ly and the culture of her people
Rosetta Minthorn-Fairley, now 28, was 18
months old and the youngest of 10 children when
she was removed from her home on the Umatilla
Indian Reservation. She was placed in a non Indi
an foster home where she stayed until graduating
from high school
Although her foster home was in nearby Pilot
Rock, she was unable to maintain a relationship
with her family.
"1 was within 20 mHes but it might as well have
been across the country." she said.
Contrary to today's goal of keeping families
together, ihe federal policy when Rosetta was
removed focused on separating the child from its
family.
“The sad part of the system was this policy of
keeping us apart,” she said. "Now they’re trying to
make it easier for family visits, but when I was
small it was quite a difficult task to get to see me."
Rosetta's grandmothers, aunts and uncles told
her they knew what she was doing and where she
was, but said they didn't want to wade through the
bureaucracy required to visit her.
"It wasn't an open-door policy." Rosetta said
"There was a definite dividing line. I was here and
they were there."
Rosetta said she often wondered as a child why
she had been removed from her family, and she
wondered, too. why the community — aunts and
uncles — weren't brought into her circle of con
tacts
Her foster family "went beyond the scope of care
expected” and Rosetta would never fault their
love. But she missed time with her brothers and
sisters, her peers, and the opportunity to learn
about tribal customs and traditions.
But Rosetta said she harl>ors no anger The grief
process has t>een completed.
"It feels good to Ire back home," she said. "Peo
ple who know my mother and father are able to
talk to me about their lives.”
Rosetta agrees that there is a huge need for more
Native American foster homes, and she thinks
there would be more if some regulations and
requirements were relaxed a bit.
"I know all the agencies have good intentions,”
she said “I think the breakdown comes through
communication, especially when a child is being
placed. 1 was fortunate to have good providers, but
opportunities weren't there for my providers to
be involved with the community here.”
Rosetta said it's important that non-Indian foster
parents become "culturally sensitive” to Indian
children.
