Registration
ends Saturday
for ‘No Call List’
Oregonians troubled by
unwanted phone solicitations
may subscribe to a list
protecting their privacy

Telemarketers call at dinner
time, they call at the crack of
dawn, and they even interrupt
bathroom breaks. These phone
calls have made some Oregonians
crazy for years, but there is way to
stop the madness.
The Oregon No Gall Law, enact
ed in 1999 by the Oregon Legisla
ture, gives phone customers the op
portunity to be placed on a “No Gall
List.” Subscribers to the list do not
receive unsolicited phone calls, and
they are removed from most tele
marketing lists. Individuals wishing
to be placed on the April 2003 list
need to register by Saturday to be
included. Registration must take
place over the phone or via e-mail.
Registration for the list is 06.50 for
the first year and $3 for every year
after. The list is updated four times
a year.
“Consumers place great value on
protecting their privacy, so interest
in ‘No Gall’ has really taken off,”
Oregon No Call spokesman Richard
Meyer said.
The list is distributed to more
than 1,250 telemarketers in 49
states and two foreign countries.
Companies that call individuals on
the list are subject to fines of up to
$25,000, and Oregon Attorney
General Hardy Myers has already
fined more than 120 companies for
violating the no call law.
Residential phone users and cell
phone users are both eligible for the
list. Meyer said as cell phone users
learn about the program, he ex
pects higher levels of enrollment.
“More and more people are using
cell phones as their primary tele

phone number,” Meyer said. “As a
result, telemarketers are increas
ingly making unwanted calls to
these numbers.”
“No Call” lists have been used in
several states across the nation, in
cluding Texas and Kentucky, for
years. This week President George
W. Bush signed legislation creating
a national no call list that will begin
operating this summer. The Feder
al Trade Commission will collect r
fees from telemarketers to fund the
list, which is expected to cost about
$16 million in the first year.
The Oregon “No Call List” is op
erated by a private list administra
tor in cooperation with the Oregon
Attorney General. All information
given to the list is private. To regis

an honor to meet him,” she said.
Michael Bendixen, a University
senior majoring in English and en
vironmental studies, who is an as

he is excited to meet Cronkite, but
is looking forward to making a
piece of Oregon history with the
documentary.
“(The film) will put Oregon on
