Defazio now admits his vote was a mistake. Wyden's image is dimming next to DeFazio's. He is perceived as an insider in Washington with his ties to big business. Still, to his credit, he has spearheaded whistleblower pro• tection legislation, defended Portland's Bull Run water supply, and has been a leader on Hanford issues. But when it comes to forests and salmon, he's been a no-show. In a debate last month, a third candidate gained respect for his sheer gumption, good nature and direct answers - Michael Donnelly, a forest activist. He ran because he was fed up with the choices given voters, and wanted to make a statement. While his chances are slim, the experience may make him a viable candidate if he runs again. We hope he does. Field --froCa--m sca-dia , _ Is High-Speed Rail Coming?

The testimony pertains to veterans' preferences in hiring in the federal government and problems veterans are having in being reemployed after stints of active duty or during reductions in force (RIFs) at federal agencies. Those testifying included members of the House of Representatives, representatives of veterans' organizations, and officials of the Clinton Administration. According to the House members and the representatives of veterans' organizations, veterans have been faring badly in applications for employment and in protection against RIFs because bureaucrats do not support veterans and do not follow the law. The legislators have proposed bills that would provide for redress for veterans hurt by bureaucrats' failure to follow the law of preference in hiring.

  • Wallowa River Segment Proposed for Designation
    Acknowledgments . The U.S. Forest Service Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests and the Bureau of Land Management Vale District acted as cooperating agencies in the writing of this report; their assistance was critical in its development. Much of this document was taken directly from, based on, or summarized from, the U.S. Forest Service’s earlier study of the Wallowa River, the Wallowa River Wild and Scenic River Study Report and Final Legislative Environmental Impact Statement. Both the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service were cooperating agencies on that study. By necessity, and to make this report complete for the Secretary of the Interior, Bruce Babbitt, much of this document is virtually identical to the U.S. Forest Service report. While this is a separate action, and the report must be complete enough for Secretary Babbitt to render a decision, there was no need to duplicate the earlier work of the U.S. Forest Service, thereby incurring greater cost to the Department of the Interior and the citizens of the United States. i ii Executive Summary This document is in response to a request by the state of Oregon to designate a segment of the Wallowa River into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System as a state-managed river. Under section 2(a)(ii) of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the Secretary of the Interior is granted the authority to designate a river at the request of a state, provided certain conditions are met. The National Park Service has found, as explained in this report, that the state and the river meet these conditions and is recommending to the Secretary of the Interior that the Wallowa River be designated into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System with a classification of recreational.

    UNITED STATES CONGRESS Bentz takes over Oregon’s 2nd District By Jeff Duewel of the Daily Courier There is still one Republican among Oregon’s five representa- tives in the U.S. House, but for the first time in over 20 years, it isn’t Greg Walden. Cliff Bentz of Ontario, veteran of the Oregon Legislature, now represents Oregon’s vast 2nd Congressional District after Walden’s retirement. He defeated several bigger names in the 2020 primary, including former gubernatorial candidates Knute Buehler of Bend and Jason Atkinson of Jacksonville, as well as a well- financed campaign by newcomer Jimmy Crumpacker. In the November election, he won in a landslide to keep the district red. The 2nd Congressional District, which includes the Grants Pass portion of Josephine County, Jackson County and all of Central and Eastern Oregon, has more than 70,000 square miles, the seventh-largest Congressional district in the country. It hasn’t had a Democrat elected since the legendary Al Ull- man of Baker City in 1981. Ullman served 12 terms, one more than Walden, before he was defeated in the Reagan landslide of 1980. CLIFF BENTZ Bentz, 69, has the same pedigree as Walden and the late Bob Smith, Republicans who have ruled the vast 2nd Congressional Wyden, Oregon’s senior senator at age 71, has been elected District since 1983, save for Wes Cooley’s single term in the to three six-year terms since he won a special 1990s (and he was a Republican, too). Bentz is a rancher, election over Gordon Smith in 1996 after Bob lawyer, and lawmaker who has served in the state Legislature Packwood resigned in a sex scandal.
