House votes to let pilots carry guns
By Eric Aasen
The Dallas Morning News
WASHINGTON — The House
voted overwhelmingly Wednesday
to allow any commercial pilot to
carry a gun in the cockpit.
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.”

News brief
Earthquake strikes
near Oregon Coast
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake
struck Tuesday morning about 135
miles west off the Oregon Coast.
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.”

“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.
