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.
