SEN. HATFIELD
SICK OF RED TAPE
rev viest, Jr., ho is the County Chairman for Mark
Hatfield, sent us the following remarks from a talk Sen.
Katfield'delivered las: Thursday at Corvallis.
"Su-oca'ion in triplicate threatens to choke Oreeoms small
businesses out a eitence," Senator Mark KatfleltJ told
the Corvallis Chamber of Commerce annual dinner Thursday
mght.
"The tiree E.'s of the federal bureaucracy have become
Bul-s F.esrulatioc and Fed Tape, " Hatfield said.
"I arr a'ppalle a' the paper :rt requirements of the fe
deral e'overnment." Hatfield cited paperork statistics which
be said, "sound as if they ere from a horror story."
Hatfiel- co;ed.
congress.onal estimates are ttat it costs trie federa
gove-nment about IB fcHlioc collars yearly to print, revie
and store its forms and it costs America's businessmen ano
ther 15 billion dollars to prepare and return such forms;
tte federal government eenerates annually over 4.5
million cubic feet of paper, equaling 14 billion sheets of
typing paper and 10 government forms for every person in
the country;
. annual federal government Faper work emials a stack
of tvpms paper over 13 hundred miles high or equal to 14
thousand stacks of paper the height of Portland's new First
National Ear.k building;
federal reporting and statistical requirements have
grown over the past ID vears at a rate of 30 percent greater
rfci;; :& growth of the feoeral budget;
tne Office of Management L Budget reports that the
54 hundred different feaeral forms take the public 130 million
hours to complete.
Hatfield said that both tne 18 billion dollar federal cost and
tne 13 billion dollar business cost ultimately are paid by the
taxpayer - consumer.
He said this 36 billion dollar estimate is:
53 times the 1371-73 bienmum genera! fund budget for
Creson;
qual to the cost of building over 2 million, two-bedroom
low-cos, bousing units.-,
more than federal outlays m the entire areas of human
and housing, agriculture and rural development.
"Congress snares the blame with the bureaucracy for
creatine this paper work explosion," Hatfield said.
"Some worthwhile ne programs, such as the Occupation
Health and Safety laws create severe paperwork problems for
Oreeon businessmen,"
"all paperwork is not evU and cannot all be removed, but
steps to curtail it must be taxen", be said.
Hatfield said the Senate Small Business Committee, on
which be serves, will hole hearings on June 27 on federal
paperwork problems facing snail businesses.
Ke plans to testify citing such examples as a Portland
radio-television company whose FCC license renewal appli
cation weished 8D pounds, and a small Portland radio station
whose FCC renewal paperwork weighed over 25 pounds.
A requirement that Congress determine paper work burdens
of new' legislation, would be a logical first step in solving
the problem" .
"Cooeress now requires environmental impact statements
i-r our" review m considering new legislation and it seems
the paperwork burden of ne laws is an equally important
consideration,''
He said another alternate for reducing paperwork is
closer coordination and information sharing by federal, rate
and local governments,
H also sugs-ested simpliivtrx forms to allow easier com
pliance bv businesses reducing taeir frequency and technical
assistance programs to h:ip small business comply with
federal regulations.

POST ELECTION COM
MENT. There has been some
editorial comment on the fail
ure of most bond and tax
measures to pass in the re
cent election. It is intima
ted that the people have lost
faith in our state legislature.
There is some reason for
that. As individuals the mem
bers are nice honest people,
but when they get into mass
action the results leave much
to be desired. Even a drun
ken sheepherder knows that
there is no necessity for the
consideration of over one
thousand bills during anyses
sion. The result is enact
ment of poorly considered and
ambiguous laws. One exam
ple of last sessions bumbling,
is the change in special dis
tricts election laws. Another
is that promiscuous authority
to provide bicycle paths along
certain highways without re
gard to the wishes of the
community involved. Confi
dence in tbe legislature will
be restored if fewer bills are
introduced, and the ones
passed are given closer scru
tiny. Subscribe Now

which were quite filling. They
went to Durham to visit re
latives. Bob was born there
and went to school a year
there. He still bas the Bible
be received when be left for
the states. He told of cool
mining activities which is de
scribed as "open casting",
something like our strip min
ing. However, even though
they sometimes go 120 feet
deep, they carefully save the
soil which is replaced, fer
tilized and can again be farm
ed. Bob bad a tour of such
an operation, was in the big
shovel and, of coures, was
permitted in the cab. We
wouldn't be surprised if
they'd let him operate the ma
chinery as he has a natural
inclination for things mech
anical. They called 24 hours before
they were to fly home and
were assured a seat. They
made other advance calls and
had the same answer. W hen
they arrived at the airport
for the return flight they met
a delay. They then soon
learned the charter air
line was in receivership. 3t
was the charter airline, NOT
the travel bureau, that was
in trouble.) Airport people
said they would get them ac
commodations and to another
airline. Tbe 217 passengers,
mostly Americans and some
Canadians, were taken by bus
to a private coach station and
stayed in an uncomfortable,
very cola big metal build
ing, much like a warehouse.
Bob said they huddled all ni
ght, TW A bad a big plane
in Pome and it was thought
they could get accommoda
tions on It for the return
trip for $17,000 for the group,
or about $100 apiece. They
were taken to Heathrow Air
port where they learned that
Civil Aeronautics would not
would not permit tbe return
trip for $17,000 for the group,
on the plane from Rome. So
they spent a niebt at the air
port. Bob said tbey were
forced to take regular flight
home, returning by TWA to
New York and United to Sea
ttle. This cost an extra $800,
Bob said be never worries
about tbe number 13. But,
he says, beware of Friday.
Tbeta was on her first trip
abroad and very thrilled with
the flowers, the greeness of
the country and tbe neatness
of almost everything.
More about these folks at
a later time. (We're glad th
ey're back borne in one piece.)

Good Reading
" Way Back When" by Mil
dred Searcey of Athena is
now available in Heppner.
The book is a result of the
historical program Mildred
did over KUMA to create
interest in the Umatilla and
Morrow counties' history.
She gives credit for the
vignettees to her sources that
are no longer available or
not easily available to the
public and not re-written
events by some historian. Tbe
stories are factual accounts
of some less than obscure
occurrences concerning this
land and its people.
The title came from a child
hood expression of her son,
Mike. wnen Mildred told
stories he would ask "Was
that way back when you were
a girl, Mother?" The answer
was" Way Back When."
There's a chapter on Hep
pner, Lexington and lone. The
book bas many old pictures.
Names of many people. It
will be interesting reading
to people of the two coun
ties. Mildred will be in Heppner
for the Sidewalk Bazaar to
autograph the book.
