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.

Question: "Do you agree with the recent Supreme Court
ruling that excludes women from the military draft?"
"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.
