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.
