Proud Bronze Level Sponsor of the Portland Power Women's ABL Professional Basketball Team HRC O ffers K udos to R epublican S mith he Human Rights Campaign, a national gay and lesbian rights group based in Washington, D.C., acknowledged Oregon Sen. Gordon Sm ith’s support of James Hormel, President Clintons nominee to be ambassador to Luxembourg. In the most recent issue of H R C ’s quarterly magazine, Smith, a Republican, was listed in a section entitled “The Halls of Fame and Shame.” Smith fell into the Fame column, which is reserved for those “supporting equality, standing up to discrimination and fighting A ID S.” He was specifically cited for his involvement in the Hormel nomination process. According to H RC, “When several senators placed a ‘hold’ on Hormel’s nomination, Smith, along with Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, set up meetings between Hormel and other senators. A member of the Senate Foreign Relations Com m ittee, Sm ith was instrumental in gamering support for Hormel, who is openly gay.” Smith has not been known as an advocate for gay and lesbian rights.
