O re g o n callers m oat often

senators
or
representatives. And the
frequency of that query sup
port* findings of pollsters
disparaging the* knowledge —
or at least the memories
of
voters following election*
Only rarely do Craig or
Tugman huve Io put up with
lonely caller* merely wanting
someone to visit with and rurer
still are culls fulling in the
crank category
“ A lot of people do cull togive
us their opinions on legislative

Tugmun “ And some call to
express

Opinion calls ure not passed

Information operators cunnot
transfer call* to other part* of
the Capitol Building
M ujor purpose of the
telephone service is to bring
culler* up to date on the statu*
of specific pieces of proposed
legislation
At their fin g e rtip * the
operators have copies of all
measures introduced and
several other
leg isla tive
periodical* that permit Diem to
swiftly determine what is
described as "b ill status.” The
periodicals include the daily
le g is la tiv e Calendar and
weekly Legislative Digest and
Cumulative Index
From the calendar they
relate information about public
hearing* fo r callers who
happen to know specific bills by
assigned number* To satisfy
caller* who do not know the
number but only subject
matter, operators usually must
consult either the index, the
digest or both Sometimes this

Tugman often know on any

Further lim iting the phone

And the latter should dispel
