The Gap 1'976
"Congress and the President must work
together to get the country back in eco­
nomic balance," said Congressman Al Ullman
in a speech at the Fireside Lounge in the
Community Center Wednesday.
He pointed out that there has been a
stalemate between the legislative and execu­
tive branches of government for the last
four years and called for the people to get
more involved during this crucial election
year. Ullman, chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, said that the govern­
ment is moving towards taxing basic in­
come and doing away with deductions.
Many problems are involved in eliminating
deductions, however, and charitable organi­
zations, an important part of our society,
rely on tax deductable contributions for
their income and many middle class home­
owners would not be able to afford their
homes without property tax and interest
deductions.

College grant
Clackamas Community College has re­
ceived a grant to enable vocational and
occupational students to gain experience in
vocational teaching during the 1976-1977
school year. The grant enables the continu­
ation of the Teacher Assistant Training Pro­
ject which was initiated last year.
Selected vocational students will be as­
signed as Teaching Assistants in area high
schools in Clackamas County this fall. They
will be working in career studies such as
auto mechanics, welding, horticulture, draft­
ing, electronics, metal shop, building con­
struction, and agriculture.
When asked why a provision to provide
tax exemptions for parents or students
paying college tuition was lost in congress,
he felt that this provision would mean 2.2
billion dollars in lost revenue and that it
was tacked on to the tax bill at the last
minute without proper hearings and study.
If there is a Presidential recommendation,
this provision may be included next year.
Commenting on a $100 billion increase
in the military budget, Ullman blamed much
of the increase on the new volunteer army.
"A volunteer army won't work because we
can't pay civilian equivalents and stay in
business." Sixty percent of the military bud­
get now goes for personnel. He stated fur­
ther that there is a lot of fat in the military
budget that could be cut without harming
our defense potential and that it is neces­
sary to maintain our military supremacy.
Asked to comment on the energy situ­
ation he said, "Congress and the American
people are not ready to .ace up to tough
energy measures." We rely on foreign sour­
ces for 50% of our petroleum and this
makes us very vulnerable in the Mid-East.
Uiman is against banning the building of
nuclear power plants but thinks it is neces­
sary to proceed with the utmost caution
as far as safeguards.
