Mignon has lived in our area for many years and is familiar with the challenge and problems facing our community at this tipie. VISTA is a community service program. The letters stand for Volunteers in Service to America. It is not another federal program. Rather, with the support of local, state, and federal officials, it is designed to meet the needs of our own area. Each volunteer represents a vast network of persons with expertise in just about any area one As a might imagine.

The second area of concern is our senior citizens. These wise and good people are being squeezed to death economically. Inflation is hurting everyone, but those who are on fixed incomes, such as Social Security or Mignon Bemis some other retirement fund, arc the ones who areas.

"The Administration and the Air F orce have been vague and often secretive in giving out information, often because they simply dont have the answers. My resolution will ask the Administration to publicly examine all the alternatives before moving ahead with any plan." Marriott's resolution states that the magnitude of the project and its potential impact on the social, economic, and environmental scene in Utah and Nevada require that much more study of alternatives be undertaken. ALTERNATIVE MODES All available alternatives modes must be studied, according to Marriotts resolution. They include backfilling" the Minuteman and Titan silos with MX missiles, deploying the MX at sea or on aircraft and other alternatives. The object, according to the resolution is to "establish which alternative will best serve our national defense needs through the 1990s, both with and without the proposed Salt II treaty in place. The resolution requires a through study of the concept, or dividing the " massive project up between several states, not just two. "Utah or any other state should not have to bear ghat much burden for the largest public works construction project in the U.S. history," Marriott said. IMPACT PLAN Marriotts resolution also asks for an advance written plan detailing the specific social, economic, and environmental impacts the MX project will have and what government actions are designed to minimize the negative effects of the project. "Its not enough to accept vague promises and general assurances. We must have precise plans that spell out very clearly, and in advance, what the impact will be and how the government will handle it. he explained. COST Marriott directs the Administration to provide Congress with a detailed response to a recent General Accounting Office Study which set the cost of the MX project around $57 billion. The Air Force figure is around That kind of discrepancy $33 billion. assumes either an unthinkable rate of inflation or problem in the cost effectiveness estimates. We need to get to the bottom of that issue before any plans are set in motion, said Marriott. DEFENSE NEED The resolution requires the Administration to fully and specifically substantiate the National Defense justifications for deploying the MX in a racetrack or other Multiple have Protective Structure (MPS) system. never doubted the need for deployment of the MX missile as a replacement for our aging Minuteman force. We need to beef up the land based leg of our strategic triad. But whether Utah or Nevada should house the entire system in the ractrack mode is an entirely different question. We want to know specifically how that particular mode and location is justified from a national defense perspective." he said. SECURITY I tnally, the resolution requires a through studev of the security system needed to maintain the MX system. In announcing his resolution, Marriott said it is vital to the MX dehate. "My aim is to flush out the information we have so far been denied without knowing what the alternatives arc and throughly examining them, no one, including the Administration, can make an accurage judgement on the deployment of MX. The opponents want it. The proponents want it. And the people of Utah and the nation deserve more answers," he said.

He said nuclear warfare would be catastrophic. He said the viewpoint he represents is that more arms will lessen the chance of a nuclear exchange. He s have the opposite further said that viewpoint that more arms increase the chances of a nuclear exchange. He said that there was technically no reason to put all the missiles in submarine-bu- t in 10 or 15 years it is thought that the Soviets may be able to detect thejn Fixed silos are also too detectable and that is whv the moving concept. He minimized the size of the project bv saying the MX missile is 2 times the size of the Minuteman, that the TEL is not sophisticated, just big and that the horionul silos are like big garages. Dr. Perry still maintained that the onlv restricted land would be the 2'J the silos. He said once every three months the missiles wold be taken to the mamtcnaiKe area and then back to a different silo. At the lime the missile is in maintenance it would be vulnerable to detection. He said the securiiv would be similar to the Minuteman securitv and there would be no air restrictions. When asked about the rocket fuel, hcatei-anradiation emissions being used in the empty silos to give the illusion of a missile actually being there Dr. Perry said the radiation emissions would be loo minute to be harmful but that it was an area he and Dr Zeiberg disagreed as he fell it was "sert'i nonsense" and not necessary as sensitive instruments would have to be within 50 feel of the silos to detect the radiation emissions a Trophies Presented to Bicycle Rodeo Winners suc-v.lul- k esent of h Fillmore City Police Officer Thorpe recovered a car less than three hours after it was stolen.
