Moss, has taken himself off from important committee to Utah and assumed committee assignments that are not relative to Utah and its needs. He suggested that Senator Moss is great in space - he chairs the Aerospace Committee - but on the ground in Utah is not too effective. Our nation, which has determined deter-mined to be more energy independent in-dependent has become more dependent on foreign sources. "For the first time in our history we have imported more oil than we have produced," Carlson said. With that development it. becomes even more clear that the Kaiparowits and other energy projects are needed in this country. The tremendous growth of government and government spending has got to stop, the Senatorial candidate indicated. The 40 percent growth in government and huge increase in regulations over the past five years must be stopped, he stated. ( Carlson, as a candidate, sees the problems developing in Interior In-terior and agriculture in the state of Utah and the role of government govern-ment as the major issues in this election year. Our official representation in Washington does not respond to these issues, he stated. CAMPAIGNS IN CEDAR CITY. Jack Carlson, Republican candidate can-didate for the United States Senator discusses issues with residents of area on stopover in Cedar City Monday. Proposed legislation which could come before the United States Senator as early as next week dealing with the Clean Air Act, Could ' be the worst legislation in modern times. That was the opinion of Jack Carlson, Republican Candidate for the United States Senate from Utah and a former assistant Secretary of the Interior. Carlson indicated that the bill as now being framed by the Public Works Committee and reports are being prepared for I . introduction to the Senale. ' The legislation, if passed, could delay the Kaiparowits Project as much as three years and could result in perpetual depression in the southern Utah area. " The pristine air quality required by the legislation would make Kaiparowits and other energy developments in Utah impossible. The standards, as now written into the bill are 50 times more stringent than the Air Quality controls now established,- Carlson indicated. The Legislation . is bad economically, and it is bad environmentally, en-vironmentally, for people he suggested. The restrictions around Parks and Wilderness areas would force energy developments from those areas, where there are few people for much of the year, to areas where there are heavy concentrations of people. "It is bad, bad legislation," he challenged. |
