David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give back trust ' To the Editor: I understand that there is some concern about the fact that I brought Congressional hearings to the State of Oregon recently. I would like to comment briefly on those concerns. 1 came to Congress six years ago. During all of that time I have watched my colleagues, and I am sad to say that what a lot of people think is true -most members of Congress do seem to have an attitude of "the public be damned, we know what is best." 1 have always figured Ore gonians were different in that they did not have that sort of attitude, and did not want their representatives to have that attitude. So. it was with some special sadness that I note that elected Oregon representatives oppose my having held Congressional hearings in -Oregon recently. I've always felt it is pretty important to give people - real people, everyday people - a chance to take part in govern ment. So, in my six years in Congress. I have made it a point to bring Congressional business to the state as often as possible. In particular. I've made it a point to hold numerous hearings in Oregon over the years. There is a good reason for - this. A funny thing happens when the only place you hold hearings is Washington, D.C. The only people you hear from are career bureaucrats, high ly paid lobbyists, or people who can afford to pay the thousand dollars it costs to fly back to Washington, stay in high-priced hotels and wine and dine their Congressman. That is who usually testifies at Congressional hearings. The result? Too often it is one-sided legislation that benefits just the bureaucrats, or the special interests. ..not the people. I don't think that is right. So, I have held hearings in places like LaGrande, Corvallis, Medford and other small towns in Oregon; be cause, I think it is pretty important to hear what people who live and work in those towns have to say about legislation that will affect them. I have been holding hearings in Oregon for years j- it is not a new develop ment. And, by the way, it is Appreciate ambulance drivers To the Editor: We would like to say that we deeply appreciate the time that the volunteer ambulance drivers spend taking ambul ance runs out of our local area to Portland, Tri-Cities, etc. And we are happy to have an administrator that cares enough to take timeout to help out also. We would like to point out that all of our volunteer drivers are employed. They must take time off from work in order to drive the ambul ance. We feel that having our administrator on hand as a volunteer when an emergency comes up is beneficial to the patients and everyone in the community. There are occa sions when minutes count and we don't have time to search for another volunteer. In addition, our administra tor must return to his desk and complete the unfinished work of the day. .. . Thank you, Rita Worden in government not politically motivated. Anyone who is running fnr office is hardly going to try to enhance his image by travel ing to LaGrande and Pendle ton to talk about herbicides and wilderness. Frankly. I don't believe my position on those issues is particularly popular with a lot of folks in those areas. But. I believe in letting people know how I feel; and. I want to make sure I hear what the people have to say as well. At my hearings in La Grande. last month. I heard from senior citizens, house wives, fly fishermen, teach ers, farmers, small town Chamber of Commerce repre sentatives, and dozens of other just plain folks. That is what I came to hear. And I brought the chairman of the House "Subcommittee on Public Lands and National Parks. John Seiberling D-Ohio). with me. I think the people of Oregon - the real people, not the lobbyists, or the corporate representatives - deserve no less. I doubt if many of the people who took part in my hearings will ever get a chance to go to Washington, D.C. to testify in Congressional hearings, or will ever get a chance to tell two House Subcommittee chairmen their concerns. That is why I came. Because I think it is important to hear what the people in Oregon have to say. I would like to add one other thing. I hope others share my feeling of regret that some legislators from Oregon, a state that has prided itself on openness in government, op pose my holding hearings in Oregon. People have been mad at government for a long time because government has n't cared enough to listen to what the people have had to say. It's up to legislators at all levels to change this and give people reason to trust their government again. As long as those in govern ment are saying "keep the doors shut; it's business as usual." that trust may be a long time coming. I intend to work in Washington. D.C. and in Oregon to give people back their trust in government. Sincerely. Jim Weaver.

"Yes. I do agree. I don't think they should be in a combat zone. They could be medics or what have you but I don 't think they should be carrying guns," said Terry Gray, Heppner.
