I General Service* Administration • Consumer Information Center I (Continued from Page 1 Col 6) and Welfare. I think they were good changes, 1 really do. There are going to be some people who will be hurt unintentionally, and we want to make sure that our Emergency Services Program is funded well enough to catch those people who are in desperate need of assistance. Let me say this, however, I am convinced that there are people on welfare who don’t really need to be. These people, for one reason or another, and who knows what, they don’t need to be on welfare. We are not the last resort. They have some other places to go. Those people will not be getting our support, or at least th a t’ s the direction we are trying to point to. Now there is a reason. It makes scarce funds go further. As long as we retain people who don’t need to be there, we’ ve taken away their self-esteem, their self-reliance, and I want to restore it. They may not want to. Observer: Do you have a dear cut understanding o f who these peple are, you are talking about? G overnor A tiyeh : N o, I can’ t define them. I can’t say, you are or I am. That’s a decision they’ll have to make. Only in terms o f government programs, do you force them to make that decision. I guess what I am saying is, there are those, even if they are forced to make the decision, aren’ t capable o f getting out, and those are the ones 1 want to make sure I stop from falling through the cracks. Observer: W ill this process be done categorically? G overnor A tiyeh : N o, not by category, but by gearing the dollars available to people, or gearing at what point that they start making a contribution. For example, daycare. I ’m going to try to remember this; I ’m not sure I ’m exactely accurate, but when the state stops subsidizing daycare, say about $750 worth o f income, I think I ’ m right; and it’ s not the whole amount, they have to start putting in some monies to pay for daycare. I don’t think they are out of it to where they have to make the whole contribution up until around $1250. So you see, we are trying to measure, in the sense, and incidently, those that are below $750, are totally subsidized. We are trying to make our measuring steps, areas where we can cover these people in desperate need. And then, because there are always the m athematical form ulas o f how many children and all o f that, there are some we just can’ t measure who’s going to fall, and we want to catch them. We don’ t know who they are. D o you support President Reagan’s proposed ’ ’ w orkforce” program, and i f so, what steps will the State o f Oregon take to im plement it? Governor Atiyeh.Tll have to look at it, but I ’ll have to tell you that if someone is on welfare and is able to work, I mean physically able to, 1 happen to think highly enough o f them that they would feel better if they were able to pay their own way. There is another theory that “ M y God, if they are going to get my tax dollar, then they are going to have to work for it .” W ell, I am not o f that mind, but yet, I still come back to self-esteem, and I think most people are that way. I don’ t know enough about President Reagan’ s " W o r k fa r e ” program to tell you I ’ m going to jump on it. I am very supportive o f the President’s policies. I am very supportive o f his philosophy. I believe it ’s going to take this coun try in the right direction. But that’s never to be misconstrued that whatever he says, anytime he says it, that I am going to buy it. I am going to analyze it in terms o f how i t ’ s going to affect Oregonians. I f I think its going to help Oregonians, I ’ll be supportive, and if I don’t, I won’t. I will also tell you however, that we have enough pressure in W ashington, that if I do have a problem w ith the program , I, at least feel I have avenues to be heard. Observer: D o you forsee a problem arising from the number o f umemployed youths, especially this summer? Governor Atiyeh: Sure, 1 do. We already know of the high number of unemployed young people. C er tainly we know the statistics o f young, unemployed Blacks. There’s a problem, a very definite problem. Hopefully we can deal with the lat ter. You get idle youth, quite a bit of energy, and that could not be very conducive to law and order. Actually the problem, as I see it, basically with the Reagan approach is not the approach itself, but the transition into it, and th a t’ s the thing 1 am nervous about. Observer: Is there a connection between the Racial Harassment Bill and the proposed Black Com mission? Governor Atiyeh: No, not in that respect at all. My hope for the Black Commission, is the same hope I had for the Commission on Indian Ser vices, and that was really a bridge; a 'body o f people who are con tributing, focusing on one segment o f minority problems, and come to me with constructive ways o f ad dressing them. LBJ proposed all kinds o f social programs and he spent, and we all have spent since then, billions o f dollars. I ’ m really frustrated that, and I might also say, very angry that we still have housing problems, we still have discrimination problems, hunger problem s, education problems. A ll o f these things weren't properly addressed, yet we spent all o f that money. I am not resenting spending the money, what I really resent is, the problem is still there. I want to solve it, and I think if we put a sharp enough focus, we will solve it. That’s my goal.
