Show Pog 2 Magna Tim-Thurda- -- y, cnrrn rial May 20, 1982 .W The central Utah project, Part II UUj bv Senator Orrin Hatch i.KlllirilOdlltlNn) Several months ago I was amused to read an article based on what people thought Utahs pioneers would say if they could see the Salt Lake Valley today. They would wish, said one enterprising respondent, that they would have bought more real estate. Financial ponderings over what might have been are not, of course, based solely on fantasy. I have wondered on occasion what might have been if the Central Utah Project would have been constructed without delay. For (me thing. Utahs cities and towns would be receiving the water that is so vital to growth and development. For another thing, had the CUP been built on schedule, the federal government would have saved over $1 billion. Delays by the government have raised the cost of the project from $365 million to almost four times that amount, or almost $1.5 billion. Cost considerations are joined by en- vironmental concerns as the CUP debate continues. I share many of the concerns of those who have argued against projects like the CUP. My family and I have always enjoyed the natural beauty of Utah, and I want my childrens children to have the chance to similarly enjoy that beauty as we- - But environmental considerations have to be countered with practical concerns, Environmental balance is absolutely necessary. Some say that air quality must not be comprised, because no one has an alternative to breathing. That may be a clever but, if impossible environmental standards result from that approach and threaten the industries that keep our people employed, we may have plenty of dean air with no one around to breath it. The CUP represents a balanced approach that stops short of extremism. It wont eliminate Utahs natural environment. It will protect the jobs and lives of our present and future citizens. It will play a great role as our energy and mineral resources are developed, which will provide needed jobs for Utahns and less foreign energy dependence for the rest of America. These convinced considerations President Carter to spare the CUP, which hed marked for elimination in the first year of his term.

The Central Utah Project, in meeting part of that need, represents an investment in Utahs future. Thats why I . have supported and will continue to support its funding. Eliminating it would be tantamount to the early settlers of our state eating the seed corn they needed for the next years crop. Dan Marriott. the tteagan Administration for committing $6.4 million to study the effects of atomic fallout on Southern Utah residents but added that studies will onlv prove what we already know. Marriott, the author of legislation pending in the House Judidarv Committee to provide a compensation schedule for individuals who have contracted cancer as a result of the government tests said, We already know that many Southern Utahns were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation and that the cancer rate in the area is abnormally high. This study will merely confirm that fact. R-Uta-h. 4 4 9124 W. 2700 So.. Magna, Utah e 4 4 4 4 PEGGY ADAMS 4 4 J.

Jensen, Jr., age 37, of West Valley City, was sentenced today by Federal Judge David K. Winder to 18 months imprisonment, $2,000 fine, and is required to pay court costs of up to $5,000. Jensen, who filed a Fifth Amendment tax protest return, was found guilty April 29 on two counts of failure to file federal income tax returns for 1978 and 1979. Jensens sentence also included three years probation, beginning the .date of release from his jail sentence. He is also required to pay back taxes in the amount of approximately $9 .000 . There have been a number of promoters who have suggested to taxpayers that they Energy and Defense and the National Cancer Institute will jointly fund the study to be conducted by the University of Utah. Researchers at the University will study the incidence of leukemia and thyroid cancer and their relation to radiation levels from atmospheric atomic testing fallout from 1951 to 1962. Marriott urged the administration to not procrastinate its endorsement of his bill, while waiting for test results. There can be no question about the debt which the government owes to those who have suffered so greatly as a result of government activities, he said. Tests alone simply will not do. Its time for the government to accept full responsibility for its actions.

WASHINGTON, . 7WK Imte CLureli wt Sew-- H use the methods that Jensen did to protest filing income tax returns. Many promoters of tax protest schemes claim that no one following their advice has or will ever go to jail for it. Bret Ward, U.S. Attorney, for Utah said. However, he added, the five convictions in Utah this year for similar charges prove otherwise. The U.S. Attorney said that it is unfortunate that people following this type of advice will have to pay for it with a criminal penalty. The Salt Lake City District Criminal Investigation Section of the Internal Revenue Service is vigorously pursuing prosecution of taxpayers who file Fifth Amendment Protest Returns. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tena Campbell presented documents to the court that showed that Jensen had filed W-- 4 withholding statements showing 40,60 and 100 exemptions and another one marked exempt. On his tax returns, Jensen the words Self placed Object or in Incrimination None response to entries on the tax return requesting financial data. Pending appeal.
