We have been told that President Carter reaffirmed to our Utah Congressional representatives that he intends to continue plans to deploy MX in Utah But we are told by newspaper correspondents and by state officials good things may come with the MX: more money for water projects, less environmental restriction on our land, more control over the way federal money is used to ease the impact of this enormous MX colossus on our state This good news" - good things coming to our stale if we accept MX - is a bitter illusion, a fraud It reminds me of the old "good news" - "bad news jokes: The bad news was that we were stranded in the desert, starving to death, without food, with the only thing in sight being camel droppings. The good news was that there were plenty of them. W e must not be misled by politicians who would feed us MX with of water payoffs development or money.

Our political leaders must pull tlicir snouts oul of the federal pork hand and do battle against MX. This is not simply another pork barrel goody of money and jobs to grab for our state. It represents a grave threat to our way of life and to life itself. In this election we should with not be impressed Congressional or Senatorial committee chairmen who brag about bringing industry here; if power is had by our in representatives Washington, let them prove it by defeating MX. If we are angry about the Weteye bombs, we should be furious about MX! Rejecting Weteye and then accepting MX with no more than a whimper and grumble is like refusing the advances of Cheetah the Monkey and going to bed with King Kong If our President needs to cut his budget, which he surely does, the General Accounting Office, which just recently informed us that MX will cost twice what the Air Force has said, 56 billion dollars, can tell him where to start: by eliminating the MX boondoggle. That is one way inflation and help enormously cut spending to Ed. Firmage Salt Lake City, Ut The Utah Building and Construction Trades Council is gravely concerned about the large number of construction workers that are being imported to Utah. Historically, employment opportunities in the rural areas of our State have been limited, forcing the young people in these areas to leave to seek employment. Perhaps Utahs! projected growth will change this situation; however, our Councill feels an obligation to help insure that employment opportunities are afforded Utahs rural residents. Also, Utahs young people should be afforded first opportunity to enter Apprenticeship andor training programs, receive wages and benefits consistent with area standards and be allowed to work in a safe work place. We feel that as local Utah Unions, we strive and work for the best interest of our state and its people. We also realize that not all work will be done by union contractors and their employees. Regardless, all Utahns must share the concern and recognize the need to strive for and demand that Utahns be given first choice for employment and training.
