¡ike to
highlight the work of my
Environment and Land Use
Committee. I was appointed
Chairman of a Subcommittee
to look into the purchase of
Cape Kiwanda, which is near
Pacific City on the Oregon
Coast.
I t is a beautiful
sandstone formation that juts
out into the ocean and has
been described by a famous
photographer as “the most
photogenic spot on the At
lantic or Pacific Coast." The
man who owns the property
needs to sell it because of
rising property taxes and
Portland
General
Electric
has obtained an option to
purchase the land for a
nuclear power plant. A fter a
visit to the site and discus
sion with both Portland Gen
eral Electric officials and
environmental groups, the
recommendatin was made to
the full committee to pur
chase the property for a
State Park. This is what the
committee recommended to
the Joint Ways and Means
Committee, who will make
the final decision.
The
money will come from State
gasoline taxes and a Federal
grant.
The committee has also
been working on some bills
to improve the State's con
trol of water pollution by
bringing Oregon's laws into
compliance with the Federal
W ater Pollution Control Act
and by requiring industries
to pay for their fair share of
the costs of constructing,
operating and maintaining
municipal sewage treatment
facilities.
We are examining many bills
which pertain to n u c I e a r
power plants in the State of
Oregon. These plants pose
many potential dangers to
the environment of Oregon
and we will be examining
problems relating to their
location, health standards for
the employees who work
there and disposal of their
radioactive wastes.
One area which has been
the scene of much controver
sy is the protection of the
environment from unregulted
use of off road vehicles such
as motorcycles, snowmobiles,
dune buggys, 4-wheel drive
jeeps, etc.
Of specific c o n c e r n to
Portland area residents are
several proposals for pur
chase of land for park sites
near the city.
The W illa
mette River has great po
tential for recreational use if
land along its banks can be
obtained.
"Doing
Right”
It -
Because
It’ »
Several day» ago, I rude
through some of the area In
our community and was ap
palled at the large number
of dirty streets, sidewalks,
alleys, wrecked cars and nu
merous other unsightly con
ditions.
There were many reasons
why such eyesores are fought
throughout our communities
now as well as In past years.
The large number of absen
tee landlords has been found
to be the reason fo r so many-
rundown houses and build
ings.
Merchants in the area who
do not clean around their busi
ness premises on a d 'il y ba
sis. Wrecking lots that have
not complied with the city
ordinance to enclose their lots
with fences. M ore strict en
forcement by the Police De
partment to tow away aban
doned cars in our neighbor
hoods.
Listed above are just a few
of the problems responsible
for so much of the blight and
deteriorating conditions we
find throughout our part of
the city.
1 realize that we have some
people residing in the area
who contribute to our eyesore
7 here needs to te mote at
tention paid to such problems
in our community on a re
gular basis rattier than con
ducting clean-up campaigns
once a year or during a cam
paign period in which some
of our elected city officials
re seeking re-election.
I am sure the residents
and voters ate awate of these
continued practices and have
become sick and tired of pay
ing just as high taxes as other
citizens who reside in te t
ter serviced communities and
year after year they receive
in ferio r services for their
dollars in our communities.
We can and must have te t
te r services on a regular ba
sis to improve and clear up
our community. The people
deserve it.
If you agree,
let us hear from you andwe’ ll
let your ••Voice” te heard.

The property tax relief bill
should go to the full Senate
soon and be referred to a
vote of the people.
The
election will occur in late
A pril or early May.
Early
reference to the voters is
important. In the event the
measure is defeated by the
voters, there will atill be
time for the legislature to
pass legislation with a dif
ferent approach to the pro
blem.
Senate Bill 219, which is
presently before the Senate
Committee on Local Govern
ment, of which I am Chair
man, promises great new
approaches in the use of cable
television.
The most important news
item of the last week was the
removal of Senator Vern
Cook as Chairman of the
Senate Revenue Committee
by Senate President Jason
Boe.
Cook's removal was
due to differences of opinion
over the property tax relief
and school finance program
proposed by Governor Mc
Call (House Bill 2004)

We have an oppor-
tunity to greatly expand the
potential and use of televi
sion to every home in Ore
gon. If SB 219 is enacted we
should be able to pioneer
new avenues in the use of
cable television. For exam
ple. we could get the finest
programs in the world via
satellite in every home in
every community. We could
also provide local and re
gional programming which
would cost very little.

Probably the most signi
ficant political activity in this
country today is occurring at
Wounded Knee, South D a
kota. where a small group of
Native Americans are striv
ing to regain their heritage
and dignity which has been
denied them for so long. In
this regard, Representative
W ally Priestley attempted to
introduce a memorial re
questing the United States
Government not resort to the
force of arms in resolving the
matter.
Through parlimen-
tary rules, the motion was
not allowed; however Repre
tentative Priestley did get
the signatures of tw enty
other Representatives to sign
a telegram articulating the
principle stated agove. "Aa

everyone struggling
against repression, women.
