The board also adopted a resolution to set April 19 as the date for a special election for the board positions in the South Mil waukie and East County areas. These posi tions are currently held by board members Bonnie Jones and Roger Rook. The next meeting of the board is sche duled for Monday, Jan. 31 at 6:30 p.m. The purpose of the meeting will be to review possible new programs for next year. The Clackamas Community College chap ter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) will meet with State Sen. Stephen Kafoury (D-Portland) in Salem, Jan. 21. "When Sen. Kafoury called to arrange the meeting he seemed very optimistic," said Charlie Bennett, NORML's president at CCC. "There has been some excitement generated in the legislature for the bill." Bennett was referring to HB-2574, which was submitted to the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1975, under the sponsorship of (then) Rep. Stephen Kafoury (D-Port- land) and Rep. Vera Katz (D-Portland). "The legislature held hearings on the bill in 1975, but we've been unable to find even one person who was interviewed," Bennett said. "Kafoury thinks we have enough support in the legislature now to introduce the bill in a modified form, and this time we're going to be organized." HB-2574 sought the decriminalization of marijuana possession in one-ounce quantities. Under ORS 167.207, possession is now a "violation punishable by a fine of not more than $100." The bill also sought to amend ORS 167.222, which states: "A person commits the offense of criminal drug promotion if he knowingly maintains, frequents, or re mains at a place" where narcotics or danger ous drugs are used or kept. Under HB-2574, the law would have read: "if he knowingly and intentionally maintains a place" where narcotics or dan gerous drugs are used or kept. "Part of the reason for the meeting Friday,»is to determine what modification may be necessary for the bill's introduction to the 1977 legislature," Bennett said. Twelve of NORML's 20 members at CCC will make the trip to Salem. "Financing, as always, will be out-of-pocket," Bennett said. Charlie Bennett .. .NORML heads to Salem
