Despite strong objections from the Bush administration and some lawmakers, the House voted, 310 113, to allow pilots to voluntarily arm themselves. The plan, which would be permanent, is significant ly stronger than a compromise that would have allowed 1,400 pilots — or 2 percent of the workforce of about 70,000 — to use guns during a two-year trial period. The Senate is considering a ver sion of what the House approved Wednesday, but its prospects are unclear. Sen. Ernest Hollings, D S.C., who leads the committee that must approve the bill, said that he “I think it is the most significant thing we’ve done for homeland security this year.” Rep. John Mica House Aviation Subcommittee chairman has serious reservations about it. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Aviation Subcommit tee and a chief sponsor of the bill, said it attracted overwhelming sup port because of repeated reports of security lapses at airports. “It’s far stronger than anything I would have hoped for,” Mica said. “I think it is the most significant thing we’ve done for homeland se curity this year.” The trial plan was expected to sail through the House. But the issue took a dramatic turn Wednesday as the House approved an amendment co-sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton, R Texas, that dropped the 2 percent cap and the trial period. The Air Line Pilots Association, which represents most commercial pilots, pleased that the House ap proved the plan, said it hopes the Senate and the White House will follow suit. The Air Transport Association, which represents the airlines, has opposed any guns in the cockpit for fear that an errant bullet could damage a plane. The administration, which de cided not to arm pilots in May, reit erated its opposition Wednesday. “We believe that aviation securi ty has been improved in several ways, including strengthened cock pit doors and additional federal air marshals on airlines,” White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe told The Associated Press. “It is not nec essary to arm pilots.” © 2002, The Dallas Morning News.

The tremor wasn’t strong enough to trigger a tsunami warning, and there were no reports from coastal residents indicating anyone felt the quake. According to state geologist Lou Clark, the Cascadia Subduction Trench, located just off the Oregon Coast, has a history of producing earthquakes as large as magnitude 9. She said the last one happened in January of 1700, and while the pattern is irregular, the cycle could be coming due. “We are clearly in the area where it is possible to have a very large earthquake on the Oregon Coast,” she said. Clark, who works for the state Department of Geology and Miner al Industries, said that an earth quake would need to be stronger than magnitude 7.5 to create a tsunami. The earthquake scale is logarithmic, which means rising from 5.9 to 7.5 is a large jump. “We’re talking about an earth quake that needs to be 70 or 80 times bigger than this one for a tsunami,” she said. At the University, Associate Pro fessor of Geology Douglas Toomey said that Tuesday’s event was an intra-plate earthquake, which dif fers substantially from the type of subduction zone event to which Clark referred. “Because of the way plates are converging (off the coast),” he said, “that region is under a lot of stress. “But I wouldn’t expect that to be triggering anything on the Cascadia plate — in the subduction zone it self. ... There is a lot of seismicity in this area,” he said. Clark echoed that sentiment. “We get quakes this size several times a year,” she said. “It’s a very ac tive area but it doesn’t really affect us. “There isn’t anything we need to worry about.” Michael J. Kleckner Budget continued from page 2 “The political reality is there isn’t the support for his partisan plan,” she said. “This is a biparti san plan.” Since referrals can’t be vetoed, Kitzhaber has already signed the following referral bills: • HB 4059 to set a Sep. 17 spe cial election. • HB 4065 to send a cigarette tax-increase measure to the spe cial election. • HB 4051 to put a 60-cent in crease in the cigarette tax if ap proved by voters. • Measure 19, formerly Measure 13, that will convert the Education Endowment fund into a rainy-day fund for schools. This measure will also be decided in the special election. The disputed proposal came af ter a harrowing special session in which legislatures defeated two proposals before agreeing on a plan. If Kitzhaber vetoes the bills he disagrees with, it could result in more than $200 million in school cuts. A veto of the bills, together with a failure of the two ballot measures in September, could send legislatures back to a fourth special session. Contact the reporter at janmontry@dailyemerald.com.
