Ullman addresses students on campus 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. Rep. Al Ullman .. .visits campus 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. Come early for the best selection!
