The annual review was held during September and October last year, but is beginning earlier this year to accommodate the land merger of CRAG with the reorganized Metropolitan Service District. Letters describing the amendment process have been sent to CRAG’s member jurisdictions and other interested parties, and CRAG staff w ill assist these groups with any amendment petitions to be submitted. Deadline for submission of petitions is Sept. 8. Public hearings w ill be held in the four county seats concerning amendments from Oct. 2 to Oct. 11. Transcripts of testimony given during these hearings w ill be reviewed by the CRAG board along with the petitions for amendments. Board action on the proposed amendments is scheduled for Oct. 26. A time allowance is being made for any requested amendments of a quasi-judicial nature so that a hearing officer can conduct special hearings on these matters. The CRAG board is scheduled to act Nov. 30 upon these and any r e m a in in g re q u e s te d amendments. The annual review process was first used by CRAG last year when about 35 petitions were received from member jurisdictions, CRAG staff and private citizens. Many of the requested changes were granted by the CRAG board. The petitions from citizens last year generally con cerned planning boundary changes, while those from CRAG and jurisdiction staffs regarded technical language and procedural changes in the regional goals, objectives and plan.

Cook, a Democrat from Troutdale, opposes in cumbent Senator Hatfield in the November 7 general election. He made his remarks at T J’s Restaurant Tuesday before a crowd of about 40 persons. Cook said that he favors free enterprise and an open- m a rk e t approach to petroleum, as opposed to government regulation. He also rejects the argument that fossil fuels are in short supply. "There is no shortage of oil and natural gas that the market wouldn’t cure if it were allowed to operate freely,” he said. "Rather than extend price control on gas and oil past May of 1979, the president should allow that price control to end. ” Cook also favors an end to regulation of the wholesale price of natural gas, as provided in a bill now before the U.S. Congress. "T his would end the oil and natural gas shortage and end the controls of the in ternational oil carets and their nationalized oil and gas partners,” Cook said. "A good dose of free en terprise,” Cook said, “ would also help lower co6t in the transportation industry and medical industry. Free enterprise doesn't work in these industries because of big business, big labor and big government," he said. "R em ove big government from all areas affecting these industries, and the market will improve the quality of service or product and probably force the price down.” situation of trucks that may have to go all the way to California and come back e m p ty ," he said.
