Congressman Steve Symms, speaking at a meeting of the Idaho Retailers and Food Dealers Association, added that the same legislation which produces also is denying the buyer the responsibility to make wise decisions. MGovernment is telling people what they can and can't sell or buy." in legislation now pending before Congress.

Symms that the United States has a tremendous resource in oil offshore, and that it only awaits in Military Strength Jesse RALEIGH U.S.Senator of Veterans Helms, speaking to the Foreign Wars Conference Saturday night, warned that the United States is no longer number one in military strength. The horrible, terrifying truth, Helms said, is that, for the first time in more than three decades, development, regardless of the United States is not the top whether the Mideast continues to military power in this dangerous restrict export of the vital product. world.

Abraham Lincoln I believe you can judge a nation. over-regulati-on 1 as you can judge a man, by the enemies he has, Helms added. A man who has no enemies is a man who has no cdnvictions, Helms continued. A man who has no enemies is a man who values tranquility too much, and who values integrity too little. And w hat is true of a man is true, also, of a nation. Helms praised the veterans for their willingness to lay down their lives for their country and the cause of freedom. If I sound like a hawk," Helms said, that is because I am a hawk with regard to the Russians. I am a hawk wih regard to any nation that threatens the interests of the United States and the freedom of the world. Helms said the Northeast the philosophers are saying trouble with Helms is that he is a Southerner.' And the trouble with Southerners is that they are natural soldiers, ready to fight for the interest of this country and for freedom." The funny thing about these Northeast philosophers, Helms is when the that continued, fighting starts, the deep thinkers at Harvard find room in their hearts and in the front line for sturdy Southern soldiers." H elms said if the opinion makers want to make war more likely by slashing Americas military be should strength, they ready to do the fighting themselves. It would be wrong to cut our defense budget at a time when the Russians are increasing their massive arsenal.' But it is plain idiocy to cut the budget for any purpose as dumb as the purpose have in mind," the budget-cutte- rs Helms observed. These people want to slice into the military muscle in order to put more fat into the domestic welfare spending of this nation. This is incredible," Helms said. And when you hear that Helms is so backward that he thinks the Russians are our enemies, you had better believe what you hear. And I hope that I, and other Senators, will be hearing from you, Helms told his VFW audience. I hope we will be hearing that you will not tolerate further damage to Americas military strength. Helms also told the veterans, Im one who thought and I still do that we should never have adopted a no-w- in policy in Vietnam or anywhere else.
