The following ■ is » a a state ment of the opinion of the Congressional Black Caucus on impeachment of the Presi dent: The Congressional Black Caucus, sharing an opinion held by millions of Americans, is dismayed and shocked by recent actions on the part of Richard M. Nixon. In the opinion of the Congressional Black Caucus, the decisions to discharge Archibald Cox and abolish the office of Special Prosecutor w ere both ir responsible and unconscion able. The totality of recent events culminating in the resignation of the two highest Justice Department officials unnecessarily precipitated a constitutional crisis. The end result represents not only an insult to the intelligence of American citizens but also an assault on established gov ernmental institutions and more fundamentally the Con stitution itself. The call for impeachment of Richard Nixon is neither new nor unique. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus introduced impeacement re solutions as long as two years ago, based upon the strong contention that Nixon was carrying on an illegal war in Q m ith iiia c t A s ia \It s r /v r s * c rl Southeast Asia. Nixon's a ad venturism in Indochina was - and is -- both illegal and im peachable. and the cascade of ensuing executive crimes - the ITT, Vesco, milk and wheat deals, Watergate and all its associated criminal activities, the shady campaign contributions and payoffs, and Nixon's bevy of illegal im poundments of critical social program funding - only further serve to strengthen the position that Richard Nixon should - and must -- be removed from office. The Congressional Black Caucus urges the leadership of the House of Represents tives immediately to define and establish procedures and mechanics for dealing with consideration of the impeach ment of Richard Nixon. We further urge that these pro cedures be made know to all members of the House and to the American people without delay. The members of the Con gressional Black Caucus op pose any consideration of Gerald Ford’s nomination for Vice President of the United States. The consensus is that to do so before the question of impeachability of Richard Nixon is resolved o A n e litn lu c ie in to e ite a constitutes >■**>&■• utter m misinterpre tation of basic priorities. Therefore, the Congressional Black Caucus recommends that the Democratic Leader ship of the House instruct the Judiciary Committee to hold in abeyance any con sideration of Gerald Ford until a full and thorough determination has been made concerning the pending ser ious charges of high crimes and misdemeanors against the nation by Richard Nixon. The Nixon agreement to comply with the order of the Court to release the tapes is a complete vindication of Mr. Cox's insistence that Nixon comply with the Court's order. The Congressional Black Caucus therefore in sists that Richard Nixon now reestablish this independent Prosecutor's Office and that Mr. Cox be reappointed im mediately. Only in this manner will the American people be assured of an honest, objective and vig orous persual of all ramifica tions of Watergate in the original manner promised by Nixon when he promised an investigation which would be pursued "fully and fearlessly, whereever it may lead." The Congressional Black SMITH'S (Continued from pg. 1, col. 9) procedure. In the spring of 1973, the Supreme Court refused to hear Ronnie Williams' case and he was due to go back to prison. Friends and sup porters urged him not to go, for they feared for his life at the hands of the guards in the Alabama State Prison. Because of the nature of his case, and becruse Ronnie Williams had testified at a Federal Civil Rights Com mission hearing on the Ala bama prison conditions, it appeared certain to many of his friends that the circum stances of prison life would Novem ber 2 Through 5th FR EE! . . .

Ronnie W'illiams is being held at Rocky Butte; he has stated that he will fight extradition proceedings by the State of Alabama. Since coming to Oregon two months ago, Williams has been employed at ESCO to support his wife, Susan, and her two children. Friends of Williams urge the public to ask Governor McCall to make a thorough investigation of the case be fore he decides on extrade tion of Williams to Alabama.

The certificates must be completed by landlords and attached by renters to refund claims which need to be filed between January 1 and April 15, 1974, in order to receive refunds," stated Mack. "landlords should fill out just one certificate for each rental unit during each period of occupancy no matter how many tenants occupy the unit," he continued. Two copes of a completed certificate should be given to one person in each rental unit at the end of the year. “Each certificate must indi cate the amount of rent actually paid during the calen dar year,” Mack said. “But this total should not include dam age d ep osits, cleaning deposits, or delin quent payments made in 1973 for a prior year," he added. Tenants who have moved during 1973 must contact their former landlords to ob tain certificates. Tenants who receive the certificates must attach a copy to a refund claim which will be mailed out around January 1, 1974 as part of the Oregon income tax packet. "Instructions will be part of the income tax packet; and if people have questions about the program after reading the instructions, they should con tact one o f the Department of Revenue Offices," Mark con eluded. Rent ‘-ertificates may be picked up at the State Office Building in Portland, or at any State Department of Revenue office.
