Congress and the Gxecu
liv e Branch must Ex* acres
sible and responsive to the
people. Many interpret this
as ju s t the ability to w rite
letters and receive a mimeo
graphed response. It must
mean much, much more. In
order to make our govern
menl more open, we must
learn how it works and then
learn how to efiect change
through it.
C. W right Mills. Robert
Dahl, Douglas Heilhronner,
Stokely Carmichael and la-
rone Bennett have spent the
major part of their lives
studying power
how it is
developed, p ro te cte d and
used. In the short period of
about nine months, the public
has learned more about gov
ernment than could he read
in the thousands of books
w ritte n about it.
Watergate, its press cover
age. its mystery story like
unraveling, its unending de
velopments, has shown us
how many major decisions
are made and the ruthless
ness with which those deci
sions are carried out. Most
of us should now generally
understand the awesome
power the President holds
and how a few men control
and sustain it. The nation
continues to have a very
expensive civics lesson.
Now, more than ever, there
is the need for all of us to
make a more inquiring l<x>k at
Washington and our repre
sentalive government.
On March 24th through
26th. 1971. community people
frotn all over the country will
converge on the capital to
attend the 1974 NFS Wash
ington Legislative Seminar.
A t this Seminar, Senator
Edward Brooke w ill give the
opening address and lead a
discussion on the federal
government and how it works
for and against the poor.
Such a conference w ill prove
vital to anyone seeking input
into our national law making
process.
The eonferenee w ill In-
divided into workshops deal
ing with ureas of lobbying,
the Executive Branch, how a
hill is formulated, w ritten
and passed, the legislative
committee structure, and the
effect major pressure groups
have on derision making.
Il is hoped that this eon
ferenee can in some way re
direct the way we relate to
and influence governm ent
and the governing.
We must Ix-gin hard, cold
investigation into how the
government works.
It is
only with this kind of hard
work can we be better able
to make our feelings known
and acted upon.
The NFS Washington Leg
illative Seminar will be an
op,>orlunity to touch, feel
and watch our government
at work.
Don't miss this
op,K>rtunily to meet your
Congressman and express
your position on local and
national issues.

Commission seeks
Citizen Involvement
L.B. Day. chairman of the
Iaind Conservation and De
vrlopment Commission, an
nounced that the Commission
w ill soon form the State
Citizen Involvement Advisory
Committee, required by Sen
.ill- Bill 100. to assist the
Commission in o b ta in in g
widespread citizen involve
ment in all phases of the
planning process.
The Committee w ill be
responsible for recommend
ing to the Commission a pro
gram that promotes and en
hances public participation in
the development of state
w ide planning goals and
guidelines. The Committee
must also review the pro
posed citiz e n in v o lv e m e n t
programs of local govern
ment submitted by the coun
ties and the Columbia Region
Association of Governments,
and recommend to the Com
mission whether or not the
pro,Mixed program adequately
provides for public involve
ment in the planning process.
The Commission w ill ap
point a committee of 9 to 11
members broadly representa
tive of the geographic areas of
the state and of interests
relating to land use and land
use derisions. The members
w ill serve for a one year term,
and may be reappointed for
subsequent terms.
The Commission is asking
for suggestions of individuals
w ho would be w illing to serve
on this committee. Sugges
tions are needed before the
Commission’s December 13th
meeting, when they hope to
make the committee ap,K>int
ments. Recom m endations
may be sent to L.B. Day.
Chairman, faind Conservation
and Development Commis
sion, 240 Cottage Street, S.E.,
Salem, Oregon 97310.
The Commission is also
interested in any suggestions
regarding citizen involvement
programs. Day urged that
anyone who has recommends
tions for citizen involvement
to send them to the Com
mission.
Union Avenue businessmen unite
M inority businessmen and
others who live and work on
Union Avenue I between N.E.
Broadway and N.E. Columbia
Blvd.l increased their chances
of obtaining a piece of the
action when the Union Ave
nuc Redevelopment project
moves from planning to real
business activity. They did
this by their attendance and
spirited discussion at a morn
ing meeting at Fred's Place
on December 13, 1973 where
the formation of a Union
Avenue Businessmen's As
sociation was discussed, ft
must be emphasized that
only the first step was taken
th e re :
the businessmen
present voiced the hope that
an organization would be
formed.
Harvey Rice, D irector of
M ED IA, Inc., said. " It needs
to lx- understrxxl fully I let's
make it perfeety clearl that
w ithout an organized effort,
i.e. unless the Union Avenue
businessmen, especially the
small businessmen, band to
gether into an economic
political association, their in
terests and needs w ill not be
properly served as the Union
Avenue Redevelopment pro
gram moves forward.
In
fact, it can be categorically
slated that without a , well
organized citizens' pressure
group, the small business
men, particularly the m inority
businessmen, w ill be pushed
off the street and w ill ex
perience dislocation and loss
from the R edevelopm ent
Project.”
Herman Brame, employed
by the City of Portland as
the Community Involvement
Coordinator for the Union
Avenue Redevelopment Pro
ject, was at this meeting.
He stressed that the planning
for the rejuvenation of Union
Avenue ha4 tost started, and
that the project’s planners
are most desirous of any
suggestion« from neighbor

possibility of light rail tran
sit. and not an immediate
action plan for implementa
tion. The cost figures reflect
b all park estim ates, said
Goldschmidt, to provide a
starting point for comparison
with other modes. Gordon
pointed out that the study
indicated that energy con
sumption for a light rail sys
tern would bo significantly
less than for automobiles.
Rice provided leadership in
the creation of a Union
Avenue Businessmen's As
sociation. The firs t meeting
was a result of his efforts.
Rice is now making plans to
establish the investment pool
of funds mentioned above.
The idea is to set up a Small
Business Investment Corpor
ation (SBICl.
Such an or
gamzation can borrow money
at low interest rates and
pass this low eost on to the
small businessmen from the
federally-funded Small Busi
ness Administration.
Presently, a paper outlining
The businessmen concluded
the December 13 meeting
with a request that the
Union A venue Redevelop
ment planners meet with
them to explain what plan
ning has been done so far,
and to answer questions that
the businessmen might have.
That meeting is tentatively
scheduled to be held some
where in Area IV (Ainsworth
to Columbia) of the Business
S u rw y.; Areas.

The Portland Department

missioner Lloyd Anderson,
and he is asking all Portland
area residents to help by

motorists to carry tire chains

of their cars.”
In rem inding drivers to

observed that “ The greatest
problem during last year's
storm was the tremendous
number of stalled cars. Such

efforts to sand streets and

the idea, prepared by Donald
C. Jones, Chief Management
Consultant for M E D IA , is
being circulated among the
leaders of the financial insti
tutions of Portland, city offi
cials and other interested
persons. It is expected that
a sufficient number of the
Portland business and politi
cal leaders w ill see the
merits and necessity of such
a Union Avenue investment
corporation, that the organi

this period that the Re

Rail study progresses
Portland Mayor Neil Gold
schm idt and M ultnom ah
County Commissioner Mel
Gordon released a prelim i
nary feasibility study of light
rail transit at a meeting of
the (iovernor's Task Force
on Transportation. The study
provides an overview of five
potential rail corridors in the
Portland metropolitan area
which might be developed as
part of the regional public
transportation system.
The report was prepared
at the request of the City
and County by the Railroad
Division of the Public U tility
Commissioner's office, under
the direction of Assistant
Commissioner Lon Topaz.
Both Goldschmidt and Gor
don stressed that the study
is only a "firs t look" at the
hrxxl groups.
This could
include a Union Avenue Bust
nessrnen's Association
if
such an organization comes
into being. He ,minted out
that input into the planning
effort must come from the
people along the corridor if
a sound program of rede
velopment is to result.
A second fundamental re
quirement for a Union Ave
nue rebuilding program is a
large fund of money which is
set up to provide long term,
low interest eost loans, as
well as equity investments.
W ithout such a fund, the
small businesses and would
be small businesses w ill not
be able to acquire property,
re b u ild or expand th e ir
present structures, or invest
in the c a p ita l equipm ent
necessary to develop, in
sound business ways, the
economic opportunities which
the Union Avenue Plan will
make possible. W ithout such
a fund, only the large cor
porations, w ith their ability
to tap mortgage money and
other capital from the hanks,
savings and loan companies,
and o th e r la rg e money
lenders, w ill be able to take
advantage of the great busi
ness opportunities that w ill
appear along Union Avenue
during the next ten years.
