Iowa congressman
denounces military aid
By Jim Zalewski
The United States should not embark on further military
ventures in Southeast Asia, according to Congressman Tom Harkin, '
D-Iowa. . .
Harkin, a first-term congressman, was in Lincoln Saturday to
address the Nebraskans for Peace.
"I can assure you Congress will not give one more cent of
military aid to South Vietnam," he said. "The United States
cannot impose a military solution to the problems in Vietnam."
Americans are misled by the government when they think the
Thieu government represents the best interests of the South
Vietnamese people, he said.
"President Thieu doesn't represent South Vietnam," he said.
"The Thieu government was bound to cpllapse because the people
would not support such an oppressive government."
Humanitarian aid
Harkin said he would supporjt humanitarian aid to Cambodia or
South Vietnam.
President Ford's state of the world address did not offer much
hope for revised foreign policy, Harkin said.
"We were told in advance that the President was going to state
some new policies," he said. "It was the same old policy, little
more than an updated version of the old power politics."
Aid duplication
An example of Ford's misdirected policies, Harkin said, is the
duplication of military aid to Greece and Turkey. The weapons are
used by each country's insurgents against each other, with neither
side gaining an advantage, he said.
"I believe this is the wrong approach," Harkin said. "The
solutions don't lie in a military struggle."
The executive branch has perpetrated myths to justify military
involvement in foreign affairs, he said.
Interest group rationalizations
The foreign policy function must be removed from the
executive branch of government," Harkin said.
The State Department does not welcome congressional scrutiny
of their activities, he said. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
called a meeting of freshman congressmen to inform them of their
duties in the formation of foreign policy, Harkin said.
"Kissinger claimed he knew the world," he said. "He told us it
didn't help him to have Congress standing on the side kibitzing his
activities. 1 told him this wouldn't happen if the State Department
would carry out Congress' programs."
Harkin first drew the ire of the State Department when he
discovered the "tiger cages" constructed in South Vietnam to
contain political prisoners of the Thieu regime. The cages were
built-with U.S. tax dollars, he said.
"The State Department tried to send investigators there to
contradict my allegations," he said. "However, the doctors who'
treated some of the prisoners there verified my allegations."
Defense cuts
Trie U.S. could gradually cut $20 billion in defense
expenditures, Harkin said. These cuts would not affect the current
unstable employment situation, he said.
"Defense is one of the least labor-intense areas," he said. "I'm
going to intorduce a bill next week to nationalize the rail systems
and put people to work rebuilding them. I think we need more
programs like this, not defense programs."
Harkin, a member of the Science and Technology and
Agriculture committees, said the United States must awaken to the
activities of other countries.
"We must realize the United States can no longer dictate the
policies of other countries," he said. "We must allow their people
and culture to determine their own policies.
"Peace is not an end product, it is a process. We can help by
cooperating with our fellow humans to promote a process of
decency, intellectual well being and growth."
Yeutter: Americans
facing uncertainties
Omaha-The major question facing the United States today are
Americans' uncertainties about values and priorities and how much
government Americans will want in the next 100 years, Clayton
Yeutter said Saturday.
Yeutter, assistant secretary for international affairs and
commodity programs for the United States Department of
Agriculture, spoke at Crcighton University's second annual
Bicentennial symposium.
Economically, politically and socially, American ideas are not
the only way to live and it would be useful to learn from other
countries, Yeutter said.
The percentage of the gross national product (the total of all
goods and services produced in one year) that has been devoted to
government spending is increasing, he said.
"Forty per cent of the national income is going into governing
ourselves, but how far can we afford to go before the system falls
apart?" he asked.
"Everybody gives speeches about the gigantic- federal
bureaucracy and why we don't do anything about it. It just
continues to get bigger and bigger," Yeutter said.
Americans have a continuing need to show the unsatisfactory
performance in government as shown in Watergate, Yeutter said.
A love-hate relationship exists in the American econ -my, he
said. There is a distaste for inflation but Americans love everything
that accompanies it, he noted.
Basically, Americans- overeacted, setting off another wave of
inflation, he said. This overreaction causes Americans to be a
nervous society.
Yeutter said he thinks the American government doesn't have
the power to regulate or administer an economy so complex.
When we do, we typically fail Hat on our economic faces. It
just doesn t work,"
