The index compares those votes with the results of three public opinion polls. Utah's Congressman Dan Marriott scored 100 percent also on the index, indicating that his security votes were totally consistent with public opinion. Congressman Gunn McKay received 56 percent on the index. Polls for the index were conducted by Decision Making Information, the national public opinion research firm, and by the American Security Council among public opinion leaders and its own membership. Total number of persons participating was 230,000. Senate votes examined included bills on the U.S. relationship with Taiwan, the Mutual Defense Treaty, the lifting of economic sanctions against Rhodesia, aid to Communist nations, measures regarding the Panama Canal, appropriations for the development of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, defense appropriations.

Your findings give proof to the suspicions and fears of many concerned parents in the district. As one such parent I address the past superintendent of the Alpine School District: Dr. Dan Peterson. In reading the article, I trustingly hoped that at the end of the article you would submit fact and proof that the statistics were a gross error. You presented no such reply.

How could our district allow our students to dwindle down to a mere 30 percent testing level? The bottom line for this outrageous condition is that many people are not doing their job. There are many reasons why this has happened; but now that we're at the pits, I hope and pray that parents, teachers, and students band together and reverse this desperate situation.

"It's the formations, instead of growing straight down or straight up, as the stalagtites and stalagmites do, the helectites grow in all directions," Yarborough said.
