BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

In the Matter of ) ) MUR 319 (16) Mobil Oil Corporation)

CERTI FICAT ION

I, Marjorie W. Emmons, Secretary to the Federal Election Commission, do hereby certify that on March 2, 1977, the Commission determined by a vote of 4-0 that there was no reason to believe a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, as amended, had been committed in the above-captioned matter. Voting to find there was no reason to believe were Commissioners Aikens, Staebler, Thomson and Tiernan. Commissioners Harris and Springer were not present at the time of the vote. Accordingly, the file in this matter has been closed.

Marjorie W. Emmons Secretary to the Commission BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

In the Matter of ) ) MUR 319 (76) Mobil Oil Corporation )

GENERAL COUNSEL'S REPORT

I. Summary In a complaint filed with the Commission on October 29,

1976, the campaign manager for Gloria Schaffer, a candidate for the United States Senate from Connecticut, asserted that a Mobil Oil Corporation advertisement which urged voters to elect or defeat candidates according to their views on certain, specified energy-related issues, was, when read in its entirety, in light of its timing, and in light of the focus on energy matters in the Connecticut race, a contribution by Mobil to the campaign of Ms. Schaffer's rival, Lowell Weicker, thereby violating 2 U.S.C. S441b., . II. Evidence

Accompanying the complaint were a seri S'6 news releases, newspaper clippings, and statements which purported to show that Ms. Schaffer's energy views, in particular those relating to oil and gas pricing, were in direct conflict with those to Senator Weicker and the major oil companies such as Mobil. The materials appear to indicate that the candidates' different energy positions were a major campaign issue. The advertisement appeared on October 17, 1976 in a multitude of magazines and newspapers including the New York -2- Times Sunday Magazine and the Sunday magazines of various Connecticut papers. The ad was styled as a "Voter's guide

to the Political Cheapshot" and was putportedly an effort to clean up "some of [the] political pollution" caused by candidates who "continue to play politics with energy issues". Under three colloquial style headings --- "The dollar-a-gallon play" "the obscene profits bit,"the "Keep it vague" crowd"-- the ad set forth ploys used by insincere energy candidates. In a final five line paragraph the ad provided a "good-guy checklist". The advertisement did not refer to any particular candidate or party. (A copy of the advertisement is appended to the report). On January 17, 1977, in response to the Commission's preliminary inquiry, respondent submitted an answer to Ms. Schaffer's complaint in the form of an unnotarized letter from its General Counsel. The letter indicated that the ad appeared

Nin 110 newspapers and magazines throughout the United States on

the same day as it appeared in the New York Times. Total circulation of the ad was estimated at 32 million. (A list of the publications used and their respective circulations accompanied the letter). The letter asserted that the advertise- ment was written with no specific candidate in mind but rather was based on "typical arguments advances by politicans attacking oil companies." In support of thisrespondent submitted copies of various advertisements setting forth Mobil's position on energy issues in the period from December, 1975 through 1976.

I.- -, - -3 -

These were allegedly "comparable" to the advertisement at issue herein. III. Analysis

Although it would appear that the question of whether a corporate expenditure for an ad is "in connection with" an election is a matter of broad construction and is lot necessarily limited by the failure of the ad to identify

a particular candidate (see Cort v. Ash 496 F 2d 416 (3d Cir.

1973), rev'd on other grds 423 U.S. 812 (1975)1 U.S. v. Boyle, 482 F 2d 755 760, cert. den. 414 U.S. 1076 (1973), the relevant facts submitted by the respective parties with respect to the alleged impact of the ad on a particular election in Connecticut, do not, in our opinion, warrant Commission investigation.

On its face the Mobil Ad is a categorization of the so- called tactics used by "energy good guys (or gals)." The A1t~ tactics are described in broad terms and are not linked t.

particular candidates or races. The format utilized -- a kind of corporate column advancing Mobil's views on energy matters-- had been employed for a period of at least a number of months prior to the appearances of the ad in question.

Notwithstanding its general context and its nationwide distribution, complainant asserts - indeed, this is the heart of the matter - that, because a reader who knew of the -4- respective stands of Ms. Schaffer and Senator Weicker would infer Mobil's opposition to Ms. Schaffer, the ad must be considered to be "in connection with" that election. Thus, the sole support Ms. Schaffer has prof erred as showing the ad violative of 2 U.S.C. 5441b is a series of newspaper clippings and statements by her showing the direct conflict between her stand and that of Senator Weicker and Mobil Oil. In our view, the position sought by Ms. Schaffer is broader than that stated by the statute or suggested by the case law. While existence of targeting of an ad by a corporation or union to a particular district might, in certain circumstances, be a factor in concluding that an ad had been placed in connection with an election, where, as here, no candidate was named or even indirectly suggested by the ads, the ads were distributed nationwide and were part of a series of ads relating to the subject of energy policy, and the issues to which the ads were related was one of multifaceted complexity, the mere fact that knowledgeable Connecticut voters might infer that Mobil preferred Senator Weicker over Ms. Schaffer does not afford reason to believe that the advertisement was placed "in connection with" the Connecticut senatorial election. However, the only evidence submitted in this regard is a series of news clippings and statements by Ms. Schaffer allegedly showing that she had taken a position on oil and gas pricing - 5 - that was in direct conflict with those of Senator Weicker and the major oil companies. Thus, in order for complainant to be correct in her ascertion, a reader of the Times ad would have to be aware of Ms. Schaffer's energy position, would have to be further aware that it was opposed to Mobil's, and, finally, would have to interpret the general language of the ad as having a context applicable to the Connecticut senatorial race. Given the information available, one can only speculate as to whether the ad did, in fact, cause this effect. On the basis of such speculation, we do not feel an investigation of this matter is warranted.

CONTINUATION SHEET SUMMARY OF A LLEGATION professed intent, the ad read in its entirety, read in light of its timing and read in light of the focus on energy matters in the Connecticut Senate race, is a contribution 1/ by Mobil to the campaign of Mr. Weicker, in violation of §441b."

1/ The lack of any allegation of coordination between Mobil and Senator Weicker's campaign suggests that complainant intended to allege a corporate expenditure, rather than a corporate contribution, and the Commission ought treat the complaint as alleging a corporate expenditure rather than a corporate contribution. -3-

CONTINUAION SHEET

PRELIMINARY LEGAL ANALYSIS DiFI . of partisan commentary on candidates' positions on various issues may violate §441b. See, e.g., O/R #790 (Stanley Kaleczyc, October 12, 1976); O/R #682 (John Petry September 14, 1976). C.f. I/C #544 (Carl Pope, September 23, 1976) (2 U.S.C. §431(f) "expenditures"). B. "Clearly Identified Candidate" Unlike independent expenditures under 2 U.S.C. S434(e), there is the no Supreme Court holding on the question of whether the identity of intended beneficiary or victim of a corporate expenditure need be apparent from the face of a given communication. The requirement that an independent expenditure "unambiguously" identify its target apparently resulted from the Supreme Court's concern that persons who are neither candidates nor political committees (and therefore, presumably not on notice of the strict regulation of campaign related expenditures) required a simple, mechancial standard to prevent them from being intimidated from engaging in the full and free discussion of political issues. See Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 36-48, 90 (1976) (construing 18 U.S.C. S608(e)and 2 U.S.C. §434 (e)). Corporations however, have long been on notice of the strict prohibition of contributions or expenditures in connection with Federal elections. Consequently, a broader standard may apply. Contra, Miller v. AT&T 434 F. 2d 759 (3d Cir. 1974); rev'd C.f. Buckley v. Valeo 519 F. 2nd 821, 874-878 (D.C. Cir. 1975), 00

in part on other grounds 424 U.S. 1 (1976) (finding 2 U.S.C. S437a invalid); United States v. National Committee for Impeachment 469 F. 2d 1135 (2d Cir. 1972) (defining 2 U.S.C. §431(f) expenditures); ACLU v. Jennings, 366 F. Supp. 1041 (D.D.C. 1973), vacated as moot sub. nom. Staats v. ACLU 422 U.S. 1030 (1975) (narrowing'expenditures"and"political committee"definitions). The test of whether a particular expenditure is "in connection with" a Federal election appears to be whether "active electioneering" is intended. See U.S. v. Boyle 482 F. 2d 755, 760, cert. denied, 414 U.S. 1076 (1973); accord, United States v. Auto Workers 352 U.S. 567 (1957); C.f. CSC v. Letter Carriers, 413 U.S. 548, 571-575 (1973) (defining "active political management"). While the advertisement at issue in this case does not expressly identify the candidates whose stands it approves and condemns, complainant alleges that the specificity of candidate Schaffer's stands on those issues and the proximity of the date of the appearance of the advertisement to the date of the election combine to provide the requisite purpose of "active electioneering" necessary to violate §441b.

The General Counsel believes that in the present case, the sworn allegations of the complaint are sufficient to give the Commission reason to believe that the advertisements in question did constitute active electioneering by Mobil Oil Corporation. It is possible, however, that the result of an investigation will be to disprove the existence of any such intent. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

C. 20463 Re: MUR 319 (76) Dear Mr. Murphy: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 30, 1976, addressed to Mr. Rawleigh Warner, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mobil Oil Corporation, informing him that the Federal Election Commission received a complaint against Mobil Oil Corporation by Mrs. Gloria

- Schaffer, at that time Democratic Candidate for the U. S. Senate for the State of Connecticut. We should point out that, although your letter was dated December 30, 1976, it was not received until January 10, 1977. Your letter requests that Mobil submit within ten days any factual or legal matters which Mobil believes are relevant to the Comnmission's analysis of the matters alleged to have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. We have brought the time element involved in this matter to the attention of Mr. David Spiegel who has assured us that a reply by January 20, 1977 would be acceptable. In accordance with your request, we are enclosing as Attachment "A" a list of the publications in which the adver- tisement complained of appeared. That list also includes the circulation, as of March 31, 1975, of the newspapers and other

r 7

...... John G. Murphy, Jr., Esq. - 2 - January 17, 1977 publications involved. With the inclusion of New York Times Magazine and the Arizona Republic (not mentioned in the list), total circulation of the advertisement is estimated to have amounted to 32,000,000 copies. The advertisement appeared in all of these publications on October 17, 1976. It was written six weeks before it appeared and was released to the newspapers four weeks before it was printed. It was written with no specific candidate in mind, but was based on the typical arguments advanced by politicians attacking oil companies. Also enclosed as Attachment "B" are representative samples of comparable advertisements which Mobil has run in the past.

The "Voter's Guide to the Political Cheap Shot", as set forth in Mobil's October 17, 1976 advertisement, (Attachment "C") can be summarized as follows: 1. The "dollar-a-gallon" ploy 2. The "obscene profits" bit 3. The "keep it vague" crowd 4. The good-guy checklist 5. To determine whether your candidate is an energy good guy (or gal), ask for stands on decontrol of natural gas, as an incentive to greater production; on more offshore drilling to make U.S. less dependent on foreign sources, and on putting more U.S. coal resources to work.

Attached to Mrs. Gloria Schaffer's complaint are five exhibits totalling* 136 pages: 1. Exhibit A is a copy of Mobil Oil Corporation's advertisement in the Sunday, October 17, 1976 issue of the New York Times Sunday Magazine. 2. Exhibit B consists of 27 pages of Mrs. Schaffer's press releases.

3. Exhibit C consists of 71 p~iges (including duplicates, incomplete and partially illegible copies) of newspaper clippings pertaining to Mrs. Schaffer's campaign. 4. Exhibit D consists of 34 pages of purported speeches and statements of Mrs. Schaffer. 5. Exhibit E consists of what purport to be samples (3) of Mrs. Schaffer's campaign literature. 0 0

Attachment "D" hereto is an analysis of the press releases, newspaper clippings and speeches contained in the exhibits to Mrs. Schaf'fer's complaint, all of which are of dubious evidentiary value because or the hearsay rule. This analysis clearly indicates that Mobil in its advertisement neither singled out Mrs. Schaffer nor endorsed her opponent. Mrs. Schaffer's complaint acknowledges that she does not dispute Mobil's First Amendment rights to take any position it chooses on energy matters. While Mrs. Schaffer concedes that this is not an issue in her complaint, her complaint makes clear that she is attempting to persuade the Federal Election Commission to impose restrictions on Mobil's First Amendment rights by asserting that Mobil's advertisement was a contribution to the campaign of her opponent, in violation of § 441b (a) of the Federal Election Campai&-i Act. The question t%-hen is to what extent Mobil's or any corporation's First Amrendment rights may be and can be restricted. Certainly publ4nly stated Mobil positions on the national energy issues which candidqtes are addressing in a federal election cannot constitutionally be construed as a violation of the Federal Election Camrpaign Act. This is particularly true where, as here, there is no mention of any candidate by name and where the ad was written and sent to the press for publication before the positions of many individual candidates on these issues, including Mrs. Schaffer, had been publicly articulated in any detail, To conclude otherwise would mean that any corporation could be denied its constitutional right of free speech if any candidate either before or after hearing the corporation's position on an issue should come out in opposition to that position. For these reasons Mobil respectfully requests that Mrs. Schaffer's complaint be dismissed. Sincerely /tours,~> (

He praised Mrs. Schaffer for her opposite position on both issues Elaine Clapp, President of the Exhibit C (61), (62) Danbury Branch of the Connecticut Gasoline Retailers Association, charged that "they sell gas to known-brand stations for less than they sel. to us, their own people."

"Hitting back at his opponent's Exhibit C (66) claim that decontrols will push the price of gasoline to a dollar per gallon, Mr. Weicker claimed that his position is an attempt to get the nation 'in a posture where it can tell the Arabs to go to hell.'" Senator Weicker responded to charges Exhibit C (66) that his campaign had received significant contributions from the oil industry as follows: "I have not accepted one cent from any oil company," adding that he had turned down between $30,000 and $40,000 in contri- butions Mr. Weicker did say, however, Exhibit C (66) that 'Individuals associated with energy in one form or another" have contributed to both candidates' campaigns. Asked how much these "individuals" Exhibit C (66) had contributed to his campaign, Senator Weicker estimated that he had received $12,000 thus far from people associated with the energy field

The Federal Election Commission 1325 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20463 re: Mobil Oil Company 628 Advertisement of October 17. 1976 U.S. Senate Race in Connecticut ~r~~~zi

Dear Sir or Madam: b: U,i oLL U I am the Campaign Manager for Gloria Schaffer, Secretary

of the State of Connecticut, and Democratic nominee for the United States Senate from Connecticut. The enclosed complaint

- is filed Avwsuant to Section 441b of Title II of the Act.

On Sunday, October 17, 1976 the Mobil Oil Corporation of 150 East 42 Street, N.Y., N.Y. 10017 caused to be published in its "Observations" column an advertisement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exh. A. The ad was carried in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, having a Connecticut circulation of approximately 82,000. The ad was also carried in Parade and Family Weekly Magazines, both of which are widely distributed as inserts in several major Connecticut Sunday newspapers having an estimated circulation of over 779,000.

As was clearly evident, the Mobil ad purports to be a N "Voters Guide to Political Cheap Shots." The crux of the ad is that "Candidates" and "Campaigners" who do not agree with Mobil's various energy positions should be defeated. Conversely, the last paragraph urges the reader's support for energy "good guys (or gals)" who support Mobil's position. On Tuesday, October 26, 1976, Mrs. Schaffer and her legal counsel, met at Mobil's corporate headquarters in New York with George Birrell, Mobil's General Counsel, and Herbert Schmnertz, Mobil's Vice-President for Public Affairs. The purpose of the meeting was to state Mrs. Schaffer's view that the ad in question was in effect an implied endorsement of, and thus an illegal contribution to, her opponent, Lowell Weicker, the Republican incumbant who supports Mobil's energy position.

1i2 Mobis position was: (1)That Mobil has a constitutional right to express its views on energy policies; (2)That since the ad mentions only "candidates" or "campaigners" it does not men- tion either Mrs. Schaffer or Mr. Weicker by name, the ad is not an endorsement of anyone; (3)That Mobil was not aware that Mrs. Schaffer had taken the position Mobil attacks in the ad and, therefore, the ad was not directed at Mrs. Schaffer.

At the outset, we should state that we do not dispute Mobil's First Amendment Right to take any position it chooses on energy matters. That is not an issue in this complaint. In the ad in question, Mobil has deliberately interjected itself into Congres- sional elections (see lines 1 and 2 Exh. A) and has urged voters to support candidates who support Mobil's energy position. We believe this is precisely the type of conduct Congress intended to prohibit under the Act.

Section 441b(a) of the Act prohibits corporations from making "Contributions or expenditures in connection with any election to any political office" including United States Senate. It is undisputed that this ad was paid for by Mobil Oil Corporation, and was not paid for by a seperate segregated fununder subsecti0n (b)(2) (c).

Further the Mobil ad is no less objectiq4 J] u.ft its failure to mention Mrs. Schaffer or Mr. Weicker by name. The ad was published barely two weeks prior to Election Day. The cam- paign for the United States Senate in Connecticut has centered around the candidates energy positions, as witnessed by the numerous press releases, campaign literature, newsclippings and campaign statements, copies of which are enclosed herewith. (See attached hereto Exhibit B, Press Releases Schaffer Senate '76; Exhibit C, Newspaper clippings; Exhibit D, Speeches and Statements Schaffer Senate '76; Exhibit E, Campaign literature Schaffer-Senate '76.) As is clearly apparent, Mrs. Schaffer has repeatedly taken positions on energy that Mobil attacks in the ad. Conversely, Mr. Weicker has taken positions on energy that Mobil supports in the ad. The candidates have become identified with their energy positions, and those positions have been extensively debated, reported, and advertised in the public forum.

If Mobil had run this ad in Connecticut alone, without men- tioning the names of the candidates, there would be no question that its purpose and intent was to urge the defeat of Mrs. Schaffer and the election of Mr. Weicker. The fact that it was published in other states does not lessen its impact on this campaign. To Connecticut voters, the ad urges Mrs. Schaffer's defeat and Mr. Weicker's election, irrespective of the ad's dissemination in other states.

Whether or not Mobil intended the ad to be read as supportive of Mr. Weicker or in opposition to Mrs. Schaffer is irrelevant. Even if Mobil's contention that it did not know Mrs. Schaffer's energy positions, as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, could be taken seriously, Mobil's intent is irrelevant. The ad was published and widely circulated in Connecticut. It urges election of candidates friendly to Mobil and defeat of candidates unfriendly to Mobil. Irrespective of Mobil's professed intent, the ad read in its entirety, read in light of its timing, and read in light of the focus on energy matters in the Connecticut Senate Race, is a contribution by Mobil to the campaign of Mr. Weicker, in violation of Section 441b.

For all of these reasons, the undersigned respectfully requests the Commission to invoke its authority persuant to Section 437g of the Act, and to afford Mrs. Schaffer all appropriate remedies thereunder.

Respectfully submitted,

FOR RELI.EASE SATURDAY, MAY 8, 7:30 P.M.

SUBJECT: SCHAFFER CIARGES WEICKER WITH CALLOUSNESS AND CONFUSION ON UTILITY ISSU ES

NEW LONDON--U.S. Senate candidate Gloria Schaffer charged Saturday that Sen.

Lowell Weicker is "callous on the issue of overall oil pricing" and "obviously confused

on the issue of federal utility rate regulation."

The Democratic Secretary of the State took Weicker to task in remarks made at

the Primary Party, sponsored by the Groton Democratic Town Committee at the St. Sophia

Ilellenic Orthodox Center (May 8, ,7:30 p.m.).

"Groton's fight against massive electric rate increases has clearly not won the

"interest or support of ConneCticut's Republican Senator Weicker," she said. "In recent S tatements, .n, Welcker has" 'exhibited indifference to the plight of Connecticut's N i g consumer ' I. * "|. "- .I by insisting hato legiilator can do anything about electric rates.

utility rates ..

"Congressman Chris Dodd has demonstrated that legislators do have a definite role

in reforming this system. I support his effort to speed up a process which currently allo's

American consumers to pay a half-billion dollars in electric rates which have not yet h.erl

approved by the Federal Power Commission.

(MORE) .8 1 Alilffe r- -take L

"This legislation--which specifically addresses rate situations like the one in Groton--

deserves the attention and support of all Connecticut's elected officials," she said.

Mrs. Schaffer challenged Weicker's overall energy record, emphasizing that

lon all major energy votes in the Senate, Weicker has supported the Republican Party

line which is traditionally aligned with the big oil interests.

"Sen. Weicker's vote in favor of instant decontrol of domestic oil prices was an

anti-Connecticut vote because instant decontrol would have damatically increased the

cost of energy to Connecticut homeowners and Connecticut industry.

"As the only New England Senator, Republican or Democrat, to support President

"-Ford's immediate decontrol plan, Sen. Weicker again demonstrated his callousness to

the particular concerns of Connecticut and the New England region.

"Lowell Weicker consistently shows more concern for the oil executives in Tulsa

-and Houston than for the machinist in Bridgeport or the brassworker in Waterbury. The

people of Connecticut deserve a better break.

SUI(,ECT MRS. SCIIAFFXR CRIT1C[ZS LOWELL WEICKER FOR VOTING AGAINST THE CREATION OF AN INDEPENDENT OFFICE OF ENERGY INFORMAT[ON.

West Hartford -- U.S. Senate candidate Gloria SchaEfer today called Lowell Weicker's

recent opposition to the creation of an independent federal office of energy infor-

mation "another example of Lowell Weicker's support of 'big oil' at the expense of

the Connecticut consumer."

"Mr Weicker apparently feelsthat our nation's energy policies can safely be

based on information provided by the oil and gas companies themselves. This is like

-asking the foxes to guard the lien house."

"For months now, the formation of our national energy policies has been slowed

by a lack of reliable statistics."

"Only this week, the Federal Power Conivission charged that the American Gas

Association has been understating natural gas reserves in order to win higher prices

.zfrom the Comnssion and deregulation from Congress."

"The Senate has recognized that it is time to end our reliance on the self-

serving statistics of.' i oil. ast another defeat for the people of Connecticut

that Lowell Veicker his' not done the 'se."

FOR RELEASE THURSDAY. JUNE lo. 11:30 89, SUBJECT: MRS. SCHAFFER ATACKS LOWELL WEICKER'S ENERGY RECORD.

GROTON, CT. - Addressing the RSVP Recognition and Awards Luncheon at the Groton Motor Inn here today (June 10, 11:30 aom.) U.S. Senate candidate Gloria Schaffer charged that "Lowell Weicker's proposals for the imediate decontrol of oil would be an economic disaster for Connecticut."

"Connecticut already pays the highest energy costs in the nation. Our utility prices alone are almost double the national average. Senator Weicker's proposals to decontrol oil would only make matters worse.

"A Library of Congress study made last September estimated that imnediate decontrol of oil would cost every American family at least $300. The impact of decontrol would be even greater on Connecticut.. We depend on oil to provide 81.4% of our energy.

FOR RELEASE THURSDAY, JUNE 102 9:30 p.m.

SUBJECT: MRS SCHAFFER ATTACKS LOWELL WEICKER'S GAS RATIONING PROPOSALS AND DECONTROL PROGRAM

NORWALK -- Addressing the Norwalk Democratic Town Conuittee Forum at the Police

Court Building here today (June 10, 8:30 p.m.) U.S. Senate candidate Gloria Schaffer said that "Lowell Weicker's rationing proposal will not conserve energy, it will only create bureaucrats."

"Lowell Weicker insists that rationing is the best way to conserve energy. I disagree entirely. Rationing was an administrative nightmare in World War II and it would be an administrative nightmare today. The only significant effect of

Mr. WeLcker's proposal will be the creation of yet another cumbersome, inefficient and expensive federal bureaucracy."

Mrs Schaffer.sharply ritticized Mr. Weicker's specific proposal that each car owner be.forced':,tic~e one day a week to leave his car home, and choose ° ". ' ' ,'i" -" , - - two days a.b eeitfdt d fiy*&cond car. "Under this program," Mrs Schaffer said, the one-car fifrs* if i;*the most hardship."

"Mrs Schakif Saiid "The Ainerican people will begin conserving energy when they see soei real comitment to the concept by the federal govermnent. The head of the Energy ReLsearc and Development Agency (ERDA), Robert Seamons, recently admitted that his- agency had not yet worked out the details of an aggressive energy

"Energy conserva- tton is the quLckest and .least expensive way to reduce our dependence on foreign oLL. The federal govermient should put the same emphasLs on energy conservation that

it presently places on the development of new energy supplies." "I think Lowell Weicker will be quite suprLsed at the response of the American people once they see that their government is indeed serious about energy conserva-

tion."

"As bad as Lowell Weicker's rationing proposals are," Mrs. SchaEfer said, "his oil decontrol program is wQrse. There is no question in my mind that Senator Weicker's proposal for the imediate decontrol of oil would be an economic disaster for Connecticut."

SCHIAFFER HtITS WEICKER ON-ENERGY

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Gloria Schaffer took her "Message from Main Street* tour through the Farmington Valley today and used the occasion tet attack the record of incumbent senator Lowell Weicker on crucial energy muatters. The enerly Josue# she stated, "clearly illustrates the differences between us.* "A vigorous attack on the national energy problem is essential - to Connecticut's economic recovery," declared Mrs. Schaffer, "but Lowell Weicker has utterly ignored the basic economic facts of life _in his votes on energy matters. "Earlier this year, for instance, he voted to lift the controls on the prices of home heating oil even though Connecticut is a major consumer of it. This vote is probably going to cost Connecticut residents an additional 9-cents per gallon. I believe we must lessen our dependence on foreign oil, but wrecking our economy is not the way todo it."

SCHAFFER: WEICKER WRONG ON UTILITIES

(Groton)--"Not only is Lowell Weicker dead wrong on the issues of oil decontrol, but he also demonstrates a continuing inability to

understand the problem of utility rate regulation," declared Gloria Schaffer. The Democratic nominee for the United States Senate seat

presently occupied by Republican Weicker made the charge during a noon-time speech to the Groton Kiwanis club today. Addressing the Kiwanis members at the Holiday Inn, Mrs. Schaffer discussed the problums of 'pancaking--the implementation of a second and sometimes third rate -increase by wholesale utility companies before it is determined that an initial rate hike is appropriate. "For years now, Groton and surrounding towns have been plagued by this practice. The costs have been enormous. Yet, Mr. Weicker says he doesn't walt. tO get involved!" she charged.

"Last Sprinqh ih was asked why he had not taken any action to help the. ared 4,e',if..-%ithe Democrat continued, "he insisted busy i"e oul d"j t.... • i': owi Congressman, Chris Dodd, was introdu~i'.ned :thiS.'p~a.caking' practice.

SCIIAFFER DETAILS NEnG4 POLICY TO UNION

(New York)--Gloria Schaffer, Connecticut's Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, carefully detailed her plans to ease the state's energy problems to representatives of the Communications Workers of America meeting here Friday afternoon. Mrs. Schaffer also continued her attack on the energy policies of Republican opponent Lowell Weicker, saying he has "by far the worst record" on energy of any New England Senator. Mrs. Schaffer cited a report by the Independent Petroleum Association America which show Weicker with a highly pro-oil voting record in 1976, of us jobs a position she has repeated is "anti-Connecticut because it costs and causes high prices on a wide variety of goods." "The oil people themselves pat Mr. Weicker on the back, giving him of 63," she said. "Now, on the other hand, Senator a pro-oil rating and was rated at zero." Ribicoff represents the needs of our state The IPAA ratings cited by the Democrat put Weicker's rating to be rated much higher than any other New England Senator. Of the 12, 6 were at zero, 3 were rated at 3, and Senators Stafford of Vermont and Brooke of Massachusetts, both Republicans, had a 10 and 11 rating, respectively. Mrs. Schaffer told the Labor leaders, representing some 80-thousand that immediate CWA members in Connectieut,.New York, and New Jersey, England already decontrol of oil prices would be "disastrous" because New to reduce U.S. pays the highest oil prices in the nation.

SCIIAFFER TO FILE AGAINST MOBIL

(West llaven)--Charginq the Mobil Oil Corporation with "illegally trying to win votes for my opponent," Democratic U.S. Senate challenger

Gloria Schaffer said here this-morning she will file an official complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).

Mrs. Schaffer, addressing a gathering at a gasoline station, said newspaper advertisements Mobil placed in several Connecticut newspapers recently "clearly try to influence the outcome of this Senate race, where energy policy has been the central issue." Federal law, she pointed out, prohibits corporations from such political involvement.

"After reviewing my conversation yesterday with Mobil Oil officials in New York," she said, "my attornies have recommended that I file a complaint with the FEC against Mobil for violating Section 441-B of the Federal Election Act of 1976.

"I have accepted that recommendation and my staff is now preparing a complaint and compiling supportive documentary evidence."

Mrs. Schaffer said her strong stand "to break the strangle-hold Biq Oil has on the energy industry has clearly hit a nerve." Mrs. Schaffer has repeatedly urged continuation of controls on oil prices, saying decontrol would have disastrous effects on Connecticut. Mr. Weic]-er, she says, generally votes with the wishes of the oil companies. "Big Oil is getting worried," declared the Democrat. "They fear that with the Lowell Weickers gone from the Conqress the blank checks they have enjoyed at the direct expense of Connecticut's people will end. And they are moving energetically to do something about it. "I do not fear their influence. Their efforts only confirm the validity of my position. Their attacks only encourage me to redouble my efforts."

Mrs. Schaffer ridiculed Mobil's position, &Hata:.... " " Senator Weicker agrees, that increasing oil company profits will spur the search for new oil. "Just yesterday," she sai'1, " Many of these giants reported hefty increases in profits for the year's third quarter But instead of putting this money into the search for oil, Mobil has put its profits into such things as buying Montgomery Ward. They won't find any oil there."

The Senate contender visited several gas stations during the day, speaking with supporters and customers and passing out campaign literature. The Connecticut Gasoline Retailers Association is work cJg to promote her candidacy at some 1.33 st0n.s . the state. --30-- w

In its lead editorial of July 30, the Hartford Times found both my opposition to the immaediate decontrol of oil prices and my criticism of the economic policies of the big oil companies "inexplicable" and asked that I "clarify my accusations."

I appreciate this opportunity to respond to that editorial.

Let's look first at the problem of decontrol. We all agree that the nation must reduce its dependence on foreign oil. We all agree that the price of energy will have to go up as part of that effort. We should agree that the crucial question for Connectiat is how fast.

The arguments for gradual decontrol, I think, are clear. Connecticut and her New England neighbors already pay the highest energy prices in the nation, an unhappy situation caused in great measure by our extreme dependence on oil as an

energy source. While the nation uses oil to provide 47% of its energy, 82% of

Connecticut's energy comes from oil. Few states are thugtmore vulnerable to a

sudden, sharp rise in oil prices than Connecticut.

Few states, too, are less able to withstand the economic shock of such an

increase. Connecticut was among the states hardest hit by the recent recession

and remains among those in which economic recovery is the slowest today. Our

present unemployment rate-- two full points above the national average-- reminds

us iow,. precarious our economic position really is. Clearly, under these circum-

stances, completely taking the lid off oil prices would have devestating reper-

cussions for Connecticut.

In defiance of these basic economic facts of life, Lowell Weicker continues

to call for in=rediate decontrol of oil prices. There is an inexplicable position

hlere, but it is Senator Weicker's, not mine. -2-

The New England deligation in the Senate-* i.]-woul,4 .gree with me. When the decontrol issue came to a vote last Fall, Lowell Weicker found himself the sole supporter of immediate decontrol in the New England delegation. Every other New

England Senator, Republican and Democrat, opposed immediate decontrol. They had all read and accepted Library of Congress studies which warned that immediate de- control would cost 600,000 jobs nationally and would add at least $300 to the bills of every American family. Only Lowell Weicker felt these were acceptable risks.

His fellow New England Senators did not, nor do I.

I agree we need to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, but at a pace that will not disrupt our fragile economy or throw still more people out of work. Rely- ing solely on market forces to achieve energy independence, as Senator Weicker advo- cates, is a pityless policy that forces the less affluent segments of our society

to bear a disproportionally high burden and irresponsibly risks the economic well- being of our State.

The development of alternative sources of ertrgy is equally 'Cential if we are to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Yet we will never make any real progress in this direction as long as the major oil companies are allowed to control

the pace and timing of the development of these alternative sources.

At present, the largest eighteen oil companies produce 60% of our natural gas.

Sixteen of the eighteen own oil shale interests. Eleven pssess hugh coal reserves.

Sixteen have bought into uranium. Three own solar energy companies and the only

producing geothermal lands in the United States are held by an oil company. Every

day, these giants tighten their control over the prices and supply levels of all

foras of domestic energy.

The implications of this are obvious. As energy conglomerates, the major oil

companies can protect their investment in faltering oil reserves by limiting com-

ix-tition from coal, or uranium, or solar power or geothermal steam. To counteract this growing stranglehold, Senator Edward Ienni'dy intro-

duced legislation lost year to force the big oil companies to give up their

interests in competing sources of energy and to insure an adequate level of

competition in the energy field. Due in part to Lowell Weicker'n opposition,

the bill was defeated and the relentless expansion of the big oil companies

continues. Again, if there is an inexplicable position it is Senator Weicker's.

The Hartford Times goes to great length in its editorial to defend the

essential goodness of "bigness" in the energy field. I find this argument some-

what less than convincing. Decades of experience havc taught us that the first

d efense of corporations accuse'd of anti-competitive activity is to fill the air

W ith Iir,- w.-rnings about the catastrophi consequences of corrective action. In

the pazt, wisr heids have not been swayed by such self serving rhetoric and the

same should le true today.

For exa!npl, the }1artford Times argue: that ivaptiture will create "small"

companies utLable to generate the capital needed to invest in high risk vestires

such as Off-shore exploration for crude oil. This is simply not true. Following all* divestiture, Exxon's domestic assets for production alone would be in excess of $11

billion dollars, larger than 6uch giant corporations as ITT and U.S. Steel.

Exxon's other successor companLes would each be a mont the 20 largest AmCrican

fijmrl in tot-l a_=".. Toe ..all~s_ ,mpany touched by divestititre, Marathon Oil,

.t ,,,ao r'odtiction assets in excess of $883 million. X company of that size

-uld still be among the top 200 in the "Fortune 500" itit. Any ,ell-managd fi-rm

of tld__ -iz: e..,uld have little difficultv in gen-rating naccAad capital to produce

a prlu't no crucial to our economy -- oil.

I find t hard to defand a system in which major oil companies dominate the

flo. of oi.l fron well head to -as purp. Undercutting the competitive positi-'n of

i -dcpeudent dealers and refiners, -usc-ining the OPEC carLel, creating their own

foreign policy, and maintaining artificially high prices. Years of experience -4- have shown us that neither the anti-trust laws nor Federal regulation can make this vast industry competitive. Only changes in structure will do so. 9 9

Democratic Nominee For The United State Senate Gloria Schaffer

Democratic State Convention Bushnell Auditorium July 18, 1976 FELLOW DEMOCRATS:

IT IS WITH A DEEP SENSE OF GRATITUDE AND RESPONSIBILIT

THAT I ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION. IN FOR 18 YEARS, I HAVE SERVED IN PUBLIC OFFICE SUPPORT CONNECTICUT. FOR 18 YEAR0, I HAVE RECEIVED GENEROUS

FROM SO MANY OF YOU. WE HAVE SHARED SO MANY GREAT MOMENTS. LEGISLATIVE GREAT CAMPAIGNS. GREAT VICTORIES. HARD-WON

BATTLES . . . TRUST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIEDNSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

AND THANK YOU FOR THIS NOMINATION.

STATE I HAVE NOT LOST AN ELECTION SINCE I RAN FOR THE

SENATE IN 1958. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE NOW.

I EXPECT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER.

OUR IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE VISITED MANY OF PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT CITIES AND TOWNS. I WENT TO ASK THE I CAN DO CONNECTICUT FOR THEIR VIEWS ON THE SPECIFIC THINGS THEIR AS A UNITED STATES SENATOR TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF

LIVES.

I WENT SEEKING A "MESSAGE FROM MAINSTREET." ELECTION ONE MESSAGE CAME BACK LOUD AND CLEAR. SINCE HIS OF IN 1970, LOWELL WEICKER HAS BEEN OUT OF TOUCH WITH ISSUES

CRUCIAL CONCERN TO THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT. 0 0

" IF LOWELL WEICKER HAD SOUGHT A "MESSAGE FROM MAINSTREET,"

HE WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD HOW DISASTROUS HIS VOTE TO DOIRDIATELY

TAKE CONTROLS OFF THE PRICE OF OIL WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR CONNECTICUT.

ANY CONNECTICUT CITIZEN COULD HAVE TOLD HIM THE PRICE WE WOULD

HAVE TO PAY IN LOST JOBS AND HIGHER PRICES.

- IF LOWELL WEICKER HAD SOUGHT A "MESSAGE FROM MAINSTREET"

HE WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE NEED TO MOVE DECISIVELY TO END THE

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS OF OUR STATE. ANY WORKER SEARCHING FOR

A JOB COULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT BOLD LEGISLATIVE INITATIVES WERE

ESSENTIAL IF PEOPLE WERE TO BE PUT BACK TO WORK. ANY WORKER

HOLDING A JOB COULD TELL HIM HOW SERIOUSLY UNEMPLOYMENT AFFECTS

PROMOTIONAL POSSIBILITIES AND JOB MOBILITY.

- IF LOWELL WEICKER HAD SOUGHT A "MESSAGE FROM MAINSTREET"

HE WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW DESPERATELY THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT

WANT THEIR GOVERNMENT TO WORK EFFECTIVELY. IF LOWELL WEICKER

WERE IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE VOTED TO

UPHOLD THE SENIORITY SYSTEM IN THE SENATE, TO PRESERVE THE

FILIBUSTER, TO SUPPORT UNQUALIFIED NOMINATIONS TO FEDERAL

APPOINTIVE POSITIONS, OR TO SUPPORT CONGRESSIONAL PAYRAISES.

IF LOWELL WEICKER HAD SOUGHT A "MESSAGE FROM MAINSTREET,"

HE WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW OPPRESSIVELY THE EXISTING FEDERAL TAX

SYSTEM GRATES UPON THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT. IF LOWELL WEICKER

WERE IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE, HE WOULD NOT CONSISTENTLY OPPOSE

MEANINGFUL TAX REFORM. ANY CONNECTICUT TAXPAYER COULD HAVE TOLD

HIM HOW DESPERATELY WE NEED TO REFORM OUR TAX STRUCTURE. THIS ELECTION IS MORE THAN A PERSONALITY CONTEST. IT'S

FAR MORE THAN A PARTISAN POLITICAL FIGHT.

THIS ELECTION IS REALLY ABOUT THE FUTURE. IT'S ABOUT

THE NEXT SIX YEARS. ABOUT THE NZED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE

ECONOMY, AND BRING OUR ENERGY POLICY UNDER CONTROL, AND TO

MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT WORK BETTER FOR ALL OF US.

ELECTIONS ARE MORE THAN REWAMDS FOR PAST SERVICE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FUTURE SERVICE, ABOUT THE NEED FOR

A GOVERNMENT THAT WILL DO BETTER BY US THAN IT HAS IN THE

PAST. ABOUT REPRESENTATION: THAT WILL WORK TO GIVE CONNECTICUT

ITS FAIR SHARE.

THAT'S WHAT THIS ELECTION IS ALL ABOUT. AND ON THESE

TERMS, LOWELL WEICKER HAS FAILEP THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT.

- LOWELL WEICKER REPRESENTS A STATE THAT DEPENIW q OIL

FOR 827. OF ITS ENERGY NEEDS - ALMOST TWICE THE NATIONAL

AVERAGE. NO STATE WOULD BE MORE HURT BY SUDDEN INCREASES IN

OIL PRICES THAN CONNECTICUT. NO STATE IS MORE IN NEED OF A

BALANCED APPROACH TO ENERGY PROBLEMS. r YET IN DEFIAI'J2 .. ' "' VI E(COM. FACTS OF LIFE,

LOWELL WEICKER HAS VOTED T) IMMEDIATELY REMOVE PRIr" "ONTROLS

ON OIL. HE HAS SUPPORTED THE BIG OIL COMPANIES IN THEIR FIGHT

TO KEEP AN ECONOMIC STRANGLEIOLD OVER ALL PHASES OF THE OIL AND

GAS INDUSTRY -- AND ALL OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY. HE HAS VOTED TO

CONTINUE THEIR OUTRAGEOUS TAX BREAKS. HE HAS EVEN VOTED TO END

PRICE CONTROLS ON HOME HEATING OIL. RARELY HAS A SENATOR VOTED SO BLATANTLY AGAINST THE BEST

INTERESTS OF HIS STATE. RARELY HAVE THE PEOPLE BEEN SO BADLY

SERVED.

- LOWELL WEICKER REPRESENTS A STATE THAT HAS SUFFEPED

ONE OF THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN THE NATIV.N. AND YET,

THROUGH ALL THE BITTER YEARS WHILE THOUSANDS OF HIS CONSTITUENTS

SEARCHED IN VAIN FOR JOBS, LOWELL WEICKER DID NOT INTRODUCE ONE

SINGLE PIECE OF LEGISLATION IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE DESIGNED

TO PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.

RARELY HAS A SENATOR BEEN SO INDIFFERENT TO THE CRUCIAL

PROBLEMS OF HIS CONSTITUENTS. RARELY HAVE THE PEOPLE BEEN SO

POORLY SERVED.

- LOWELL WEICKER REPRESENTS A STATE THAT TRADITIONALLY

LAGS BEHIND THE REST OF THE NATION IN RECOVERING FROM PERIODS

OF ECONOMIC RECESSION. AND YET, HE REMAINS COMMITTED TO THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY'S SHOP - WORN "TRICKLE DOWN" APPROACH TO ECONOMIC

PROBLEMS, A POLICY THAT IS BAD FOR THE NATION AND WORSE FOR

CONNECTICUT.

RAREL' HAVE A SENATOR'S ECONOMIC IDEAS BEEN LESS SUITED

TO THE NEEDS OF HIS HOME STATE. RARELY HAVE THE PEOPLE BEEN

SO BADLY SERVED.

CONNECTICUT CANNOT AFFORD LOWELL WEICKER'S APPROACH TO

OUR ENERGY PROBLEMS. THE ECONOMIC COSTS ARE FAR TOO GREAT. CONNECTICLIT CANNOT AFFORD LOWELL WEICKER'S INDIFFERENCE

TO THE PLIGHT OF HER UNEMPLOYED. THE HUMAN PRICE IS MORE THAN

WE CAN BEAR.

CONNECTICUT CANNOT AFFORD A NATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY THAT

SAYS "GO SLOW" ON OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS. WE CAN HARDLY WAIT

FOREVER.

CONNECTICUT CANNOT AFFORD SIX MORE YEARS OF LOWELL WEICKER.

YOU ALL KNOW M2 AS SECRETARY OF THE STATE, A POSITION I'VE

HELD SINCE 971. AS SECRETARY OF THE STATE, I HAVE FOUGHT FOR

AND ACHIEVED -- REFORM IN OUR POLITICAL AND ELECTORAL PROCESS.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER IS THAT I SERVED MORE YEARS AS

A LEGISLATOR THAN LOT4ELL T4EICKEP HAS -- TWELVE YEARS3 1 ..-..

STATE SENATE.

DURING TFAT PERIOD OF TIME I INTRODUCED MORE THAN 120 PIECES

OF LEGISLATION. MANY OF 171 BILLS WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. I

INTRODUCED A BILL FOR A STATE CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS INSURANCE

PROGRAM IN 1959. I SUBMITTED LEGISLATION FOR CHANGES IN JUDICIAL

AND PENAL PRACTICE; 10 FIGHT DISCRIMINATION AND CONTROL POLLUTION.

MOST RECZ:'TLY, I SERVED AS CO - CHAIRPERSON OF THE NATIONAL

PLATFOOM COMMITTEE. IN THAT ROLE, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I

PRESENTED THE JOBS PORTION OF THE COIITTEE REPORT TO THE NATIONAL

CONVENTION.

I'VE TAKEN MY RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUSLY. I'VE KNOWN THE

CONCERNS OF MY CONSTITUENTS. I RECOGNIZED EARLY-ON THAT GOOD

LEGISLATION WAS WORTH FIGHTING FOR, AND I'VE FOUGHT MANY BATTLES

FROM LONELY BEGINNINGS TO FINAL PASSAGE. THAT'S WHAT A GOOD LEGISLATOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO. A

GOOD LEGISLATOR DOES MORE THAN GIVE SPEECHES AND CAST VOTES.

A GOOD LEGISLATOR IS ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT M4ST BE DONE, AND

TRIES WITH ALL HIS OR HER HEART AND SOUL TO GET IT DONE.

THAT'S THE KIND OF SENATOR I WAS DURING THOSE TWELVE

YEARS IN HARTFORD. THAT'S THE KIND OF SENATOR I WILL BE IN

WASHINGTON.

MY FATHER CANE TO THIS COUNTRY IN 1914. HE BEGAN HIS

-. LIFE IN AMERICA BY SWEEPING FLOORS IN A MILL IN NORWICH. MY

MOTHER CAME TO THE UNITED STATES EVEN LATER, IN 1923.

I COME FROM A FAMILY OF IMMIGRANTS WHO HAD A GREAT,

ABIDING FAITH IN THIS COUNTRY. A PROFOUND FAITH IN ITS ABILITY -

ITS WILLINGNESS -- TO CONFRONT ITS PROBLEMS AND TO SOLVE THEM.

I SHARE THEIR FAITH.

WE CAN SOLVE OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

WE CAN SOLVE OUR ENERGY PROBLEMS.

N WE CAN REFORM THE CONGRESS ITSELF AND MAKE IT WORK BETTER.

WE CAN HAVE TAX REFORM THAT DISTRIBUTES THE BURDEN MORE

FAIRLY ON EVERYONE.

WE CAN HAVEii HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OPEN TO ALL, AT A

PRICE THAT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD.

THE QUALITY OF OUR LIVES CAN BE IMPROVED.

WE CAN ELIMINATE WASTE IN OUR MILITARY BUDGET. 4 0

WE CAN HAVE A MORE SANE AND RATIONAL AND HUMANE FOREIGN

POLICY THAT HAS A MORAL BASIS AND WHICH DOES NOT CAST US IN THE

ROLE OF WORLD POLICEMAN. WE CAN STOP THE TREACHEROUS PROLIFERATION

OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AROUND THE GLOBE.

WE CAN HAVE A STRONG AND EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF PROTECTING OUR

CITIZENS FROM THE RAVAGES OF VIOLENT CRIME -- AND WE MUST GET

SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIALS -- THE GUNS OF STREET CRIME -

STREETS.

WE CAN SOLVE OUR UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS. AND WE CAN END 'ERtIS

MORALLY - BANKRUPT REPUBLICAN POLICY OF USING THE WORKING PEOPLE

AS THE FOOTSOLDIERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST INFLATION.

WE CAN DO ALL OF THIS. I KNOW WE CAN BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT

A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN DO WHEN IT SETS ITS MIND TO IT.

AND OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS WILL FIND OUT IN NOVEMBER WHAT JIMMY

CARTER AND A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN DO WHEN THEY SET THEIR

MINDS TO IT.

WE FACE A TOUGH BATTLE IN THE MONTHS AHEAD. MAKE NO MISTAKE

ABOUT IT.

SOMETIME AGO, I DESCRIBED THIS CONTEST BETWEEN LOWELL WEICKER

AND ME AS THE BATTLE BETWEEN DAVID AND GOLIATH. LATELY, I'VE BEEN

HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH THAT ANALOGY.

THE REAL GOLIATH WAS A TRULY FORMIDIBLE FIGURE. HIS REPUTATION

RESTED ON REAL CAPABILITIES AND REAL VICTORIES. THIS GOLIATH IS

LARGELY A MYTH.

HIS INVINCIBILITY IS AN ILLUSION. HIS VULNERABILITY IS SPREAD ACROSS THE PUBLIC RECORD FOR ALL

TO SEE.

LET ME SPEAK PERSONALLY TO EACH ONE OF YOU IN THIS AUDITORIUM.

LOWELL WEICKER CAN BE BEATEN. IN ALL TOO MANY WAYS, HE HAS FAILED

THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT.

HE WILL BE BEATEN IN NOVEMBER IF HIS RECORD AND THE MAJOR

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US ARE MADE KNOWN TO EVERY DEMOCRAT AND EVERY

VOTER IN THIS STATE.

THE DIFFERENCES ARE CLEAR.

-FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES IN HOW THIS NATION IS TO BE MANAGED

AND FOR WHOM.

- FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES IN ECONOMICS AND JOBS, IN TAX REFORM,

IN ENERGY COSTS AND CONTROLS, IN APPROACHES TO CRIME, IN

CONGRESSIONAL REFORM.

- FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES IN THE WAY CONNECTICUT CITIZENS

SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN WASHINGTON.

- THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US ARE INDEED MORE THAN MEET THE EYE.

BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER, THE PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT WILL

REALIZE THAT, AND THE BATTLE WILL BE WON r, ,7 GLORIA SCHAFFER ON THE ISSUES: "ENERGY"

Energy is one of the most crucial issues to face ,o 'oth now and in the future.

It is the unfairly high price of energy paid by Connecticut and other Northeastern states that is at the heart Df our ccrcnon.ic diffi- culties. Astronomical energy prices have cost us dcarly, both in lost jobs and in higher prices for a wide ran;e of goods. It is no accident that Connecticut which pays the highest utility rates in the nation, also suffers one of the highest unemployment ratc in tho country.

A vigorous attack on our national energy pro'Icrms .i.essential to the economic recovery of our state. There is nothing tT-at more clearly illustrates the difference between Lowell Weicker ,nd mre than the way we approach this issue. Let's look at the r' .jor questicns involved.

" - .Lt-ztad- sh -% tting sharp Il upward rises in the price of oil, of g-zo.. , ..- tirg oi. : hilc the nation as a whole uses oi. to pro .'c , .'i of its energy, Connecticut depends on oil for 82%1 of it!- 0n-r-?y 7:o-,e to lessen our de:endence on foreign oil, but in: a-.uy t'_t ., J.-ru't our economy cr thro,, st.ill more people oat e.

Lowell Weicke_ has utterly ignozc1 tP -, - ,,. .... _cts o-- life in his votes on energy matters.

N. :K n 1975 he voted to immcdiately--ift ,-2.1. o >-:.- (2 cil, even though a Library of Congress study sai.,c tt t. c L .ry Amnerican family at least $300 in adled c-r.. o . _' other ' Vew 2ngland Senator, Republican or Democrat, v t t hi-i. All of them un, -stood the price we would have -c ray "..s and higher pricec.

*In 1976, our Junior Senator voted to c.c.;r..r .- rice of hcrc; heating oil, even though our State, v t its chi-ly virLtrs, is a najzr consur of that product. Estimate of t': >ic inc-., that t'.is vote will Ercduce next winter range as hic a,"- a

I firmly believe wecust lessen cur 0c-rsrc7 o. -- oreign oil, but wrecking our economy is not the way to do -t.

ENERGY C(TS FRTS TICN In the short run,conservation i& t on- to ew c-r energy problems. Yet right now, we spend only 1n 2c. of the annual budget of the energy research and development achainistration to explore new ways to conserve V ~r :Upy energy. This, I think, is a classic example of twisted priq 3es.E

* We should substantially increase the funding of energy conservation research in both ERDA and the Federal Energy Administration.

* We should provide additional tax incentives for car pooling, solar heating and other proven methods of saving energy.

* Ile should tax big gas-guzzling cars.

* Ve should demonstrate a real cotnaitment to the creation of mass transit systems in our cities.

Lowyell Weicker ;ants to conserve energy by compulsory rationing. This is an approach that is not only inefficient and costly, but also unfair. It will create bureaucrats by the thousands without saving energy, and it will discriminate against a largc segment of the driving population. Of all the ways we can conserve energy, this is unquestionably the worst.

A LTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENEGY

There is no sense in putting all our energy eggs in one basket. We need '2 balanced supply of energy for both cost and envirornentnl reasons. We rst recognize th.t .ll energy aIternatives have risks--nany of them still unknown-- and it is only good sense not to attach undue importance to nny one technology until more research has been done and until we have more experience.

Ile will never .-ove in this direction as long as the big oil and gas co.panies are alloTed to control the pace and tirming of the development of these .alternative sources of cnergy. At present the largest 20 oil companies own over 80% of our oil and gas reserves, 35% of our coal reserves, and 507. of the nntion's ur.nium reserves.

Lowell T'oickcr thinks this is just fine. Last ycar he opposed legis- lation introduced by Senator Edward Kennedy designed to force the Oil companies to give up their interests in competing sources of energy. Thanks in part to Lowell !eickcr's opposition the bill was defeated. Another victory for big oil. A nother less for the Connecticut consumer.

DEVELOPME NT OF A',COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY POLICY

Three years after the Arab oil embargo we arc still trying to piece together a comprehensive energy policy. One major obstacle has been a lack of reliable information. Our Representatives have been arguing over the data w7hen they should have been hamrtering out specific policies. Congress now depends on figures provided by the big oil compannies themselves in making policy. I believe in ending our rcliance on the self-serving statistics of big oil. Page Three

Lowell Wcicker apparently believes our energy future can safely be based on such inforriation. Last nonth,*he voted against the creation of an independent federal office of energy information. This, to rm, is like asking the foxes to guard the henhouse.

It is absolutely essential that we put our nation on a sound energy course. We have wasted far too .uch precious time as it is. We must re- double our efforts to conserve energy and to develop alternatives to our rapidly dwindling supply of fossil fuels. Pricing energy out of the reach of most arericans is not the way to achieve these ends. We need an energy policy that spreads sacrifices equitably, not one that benefits the big oil conpanies at the expense of the average consurer.

OUR ECONOMIC POSITION REALLY IS,

CLEARLY, UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, COMPLI&YELY-TAKIN6 THE LID

I AGREE WE NEED TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL, BUT

MOST ECONOMISTS DISMISS THE EFFICACY OF WINDFALL PROFIT TAXES OUT

AS CORPORATIONS RUSH TO MAKF THEIR TAXABLE PROFITS AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE,
