Idaho; One Year Two Years $ 6.00 $1100 Elsewhere in the (J.S.A. One Year $ '.00 Two Years $13 00 National Security Issues In a truly representative government, major national decisions, especially those which may affect the freedom and survival of Its citizens, reflect the will of the people. This election year is critical because of the important decisions that must be made regarding national security. Congressmen and Administration officials, union leaders and businessmen, liberals as well as conservatives. Democrats as well as Republicans, have all called attention to the dangerous growth of Soviet military power and the reduced capability of the United States to oppose effectively the expansion of Communist control throughout the world. The American Security Council has recently published a National Security Voting Index as a service to help voters rate the performance of the elected representative during the first session of the 94th Congress. To determine majority public opinion on national security issues, the American Security Council commissioned the Opinion Research Corporation to conduct a national scientific sampling of all voting age Americans. In addition, the Council conducted a National Security Issues Poll of opinion leaders throughout the nation in which 161,677 people participated. These polls and others indicate that the American people are overwhelmingly in favor of strategic military superiority and are willing to spend more tax dollars, if necessary, for this purpose Since this index is based on public opinion, a score of 100 indicates a voting record that is consistent with majority' public opinion on all national security votes used in the index. A total of 97 Representatives and 22 Senators earned this mark. Likewise, a rating of “0" indicates a voting record that is consistently against the clear wishes of the majority of American people. This score was earned by 49 Representatives and 19 Senators. It is interesting to note that Oregon's representatives in Congress were on the low side, with only Representative Duncan above 50 with a score of 67. Rep. Ullman scored 44. AuCoin 30 and Weaver a low 10. Senator Hatfield was among the 19 Senators who rated a big "0", and Senator Packwood was not much better at 30. On the other hand. Idaho s representation was good except for Senator Church, with a score of 11. and he wants to be President of the United States. Senator McClure was 100. Rep Steve Symms was 100. and Rep. Hansen scored 90. Among the Senates with 100 were Fannin and Goldwater of Arizona; Nunn. Georgia; Stone. Florida; Fong. Hawaii; Griffin. Michigan; Eastland and Stennia of Mississippi: Curtis and Hruska of Nebraska; Cannon and Laxalt of Nevada; Buckley. New York; Baker, Tennessee; Byrd. Virgina; and Byrd. West Virginia, among others. Of the several Democratic candidates for president, only Sen Jackson with 90 was high on the scale Humphrey. Kennedv and Church were all on the bottom. Public opinion runs from 75% to 95% on National Security issues, and these scores should be kept in mind when it comes time to vote for these candidates. Votes in Congress can either help assure our survival as a free nation, or fatally cripple our ability to resist tyranny.
