Cook, a Gresham Democrat, was in town to campaign for his bid to win Hatfield's seat in the U.S. Senate. The 22-year veteran of the Oregon Senate said that Hat field's voting record shows that the state's senior senator has consistently voted in favor favor of massive deficit fed eral budgets, and either voted against or was absent during votes to secure a balanced federal budget. In action before the Senate Apporpriations Committee, of which Hatfield is the fourth rankin member, the Oregon Republican voted yes eight out of nine times to measures calling for budgetary increa ses, Cook said. The Gresham Democrat : also attacked Hatfield's at- tendance record in the Senate, stating that in 1977, he was absent more than any other Northwest senator. t"Oregon- , ians are entitled to more than a part-time senator,' Cook . said: '- " , . "My position is to support a balanced 'federal budget!'' he ', said, a goal that he believes is' " possible if gorernment spend ing is curtailed. Inflation can be curbed, Cook said, by "removing artificial restriction on trade. . We need to deregulate trans portationthe rail and truck ing industries." Cook also suggested establishing a nat ional import commission, which would allow inter national trade to "be a two-way street. . .For instan ce, the oil producing nations will have to offer a fair price for their oil, or we say no to exporting arms, food and technology to them." The medical industry should also receive deregulation, Cook said, stating that it is "sheer idiocy for a govern ment to limit the number of hospital beds and even hospi tals." He noted that currently, two out of three qualified , medical school applicants are turned down. "The medical schools should be opened up,"' he said. "If they were, we wouldn't have the problem of finding doctors" to serve in Heppner, Condon or Fossil. " ' ' Cook'said he believes "it isy the responsibility of a senator ; to Vvote the will j'o"f 'his 1 constituents whenever their" will is known.-"i He blasted Hatfield for not doing so on the ' Panama .Canal treaty issue, : .which ,he said the majority of Oregonians opposed. "Hat field has made it clear that he will do his thing, even if 93 per cent of his constituents dis agree. That's why it's better to know where Hatfield stands on the issues, now, rather than later," he said. The Gresham lawmaker said that the central thrust of his campaign "is to nail Hatfield to his record," which he characterized as "lousy." Hatfield has repeatedly refused invitations to debate Cook, the Democrat noted, "because he's afraid for the ' people to knoV what J his 1 record is." f' ti Cook noted that he lost threev weeks of campaign timedue1.'
