Senator Gam takes petition In response to a request from "nearly one thousand" steelworkers at U.S. Steel's Geneva Works in Orem, Utah, U.S. Senator Jake Gam (R-Ut.) . . presented a petition signed by ' the steelworkers to Secretary of the Navy J. William Middendorf . On May 22, Senator Gam wrote letters to the Navy and to Lockheed shipbuilding asking for "a full explanation of the reasons" the Navy and Lockheed decided to award a contract for steel to a Japanese firm instead of the Geneva works. On June 2, the Senator received a letter from Neal L. Adams of Orem, Utah, a steelworkerat the Orem plant. It said, in part, "enclosed please , find a letter signed by approximately ap-proximately one thousand steelworkers (only time limited the number) which we would like you to deliver to the Secretary of the. Navy". The letter, or petition said, "We the undersigned, being American citizens, m taxpayers, employed and unemployed steelworkers, wish to thank you for exporting jobs our jobs-to a foreign country! You seem to have forgotten it is American tax dollars, and not Japanese yen, which pay your wages. So again we thank you; especially the hundreds who are laid off. You can rest assured you are in our thoughts". Senator Gam said he is pleased the Secretary of the , Navy accepted the invitation to come to the Senator's office to receive the petition. ' "We had a very good and productive talk," Senator Garn said. "One of the remedies to problems like the one Geneva suffered ' is legislation. I am researching the possibility of introducing legislation which will protect American businesses from this type of dilemma. I think we have to be selfish and place' our own interests in-terests first over those of other countries. We are trying to stimulate employment ..' and Congress wants to do it by appropriating ap-propriating large sums of money for public service-type jobs. It makes more sense to me to keep contracts at home and provide permanent employment in the private sector. That seems much ' more sensible to me." T GIB mt 2-5 0 mnwm P. If) rfi, Q What more appropriate time to seek out the nation's philosophical foundations than now, the even of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? One hundred and ninety-nine years ago this fourth four-th day of July, the Continental Congress adopted the .resolution of independence without one dissenting vote. It meant that the 13 Colonies of America were united, free and independent. A new nation began its great experiment under law, a written constitution. The successes achieved since July 4, 1776, can be traced directly to the strong foundation laid by the Founding Fathers and their collective expression of an extraordinary quality of thought; speech and action. We have much to celebrate; but we must do more than that. Each generation has been called on to accept the challenge of a different crisis, and each generation has lived up to its responsibility. There must be a rededication to the past, an awareness of the present; and a plan for the future. We must share the same spirit and determination as those founders to solve the complex problems that lie ahead. We need to view this great anniversary as a time to come together and to meet the challenges of the known and the unknown as we observe the birthday, honor the spirit, and begin the third century. So from one end of this nation to the other, ". . .American in only you and me," as Walt Whitman so aptly described it. Then, let's honor America by participating in this splendid birthday present to each of us from all of us. And, it will be a better place if it were done by the people from one end of the country to the other. What can we. do? Nothing sweeping and spectacular perhaps, but it is a rare community which doesn't have unresolved problems which call for diligent citizen's participation, for fresh ideas, for a measure of unselfish works. . Accordingly, we will be more firmly bound to the country we inhabit. It will help assure the continuity of the philosophy of individual freedom and individual responsibility. to & Safety tips for fireworks As the Independence Day holidays approach, the- Utah Society for the Prevention of Blindness has issued its annual warning ALL fireworks are dangerous, even the smallest firecracker and the seemingly harmless sparkler.
