Dyas attacks Bereuters proposed lid as impractical
Democratic Congressional candidate Hess Dyas
attacked his opponent's proposed constitutional limit on
federal spending as impractical and dangerous at a meeting
of Dyas supporters Thursday night.
"It is the catchy thing to talk about, lids are in vogue
these days," Dyas said.
He said Republican Douglas Bereuter's proposal was
impractical because it did not consider the congressional
environment in which it would have to be passed.
"What these people are in essense saying is they have
given up on Congress' ability to discipline itself," Dyas
said.
"If we can't get a majority to favor slow restraint, how
are we going to get twu-lliiids to pass a tunstiiutiunal
amendment and three-fourths of the states to ratify it."
If the amendment was passed it would place the
country in a dangerous situation, Dyas said.
"In a time of recession it would make economic sense
to spend more, the 23 percent (of the Gross National Pro
duct) limit would place us in a strait jacket," he said.
"When we don't need to spend 23 percent, what is a
ceiling becomes a floor and we have pressure to spend up
to it.
"The 23 percent lid doesn't guarantee a balanced bud
get or that the dollars are spent wisely."
Dyas said he would work to make Congress a respon
sible institution and would take steps toward balancing
the federal budget as a means of controlling inflation.

He said the decision was made because there was
substantial doubt that a sitting President could be
indicted, especially on an obstruction of justice charge
while the House Judiciary Committee was conducting
impeachment proceedings.
The grand jury's findings were transmitted to the
House committee by Jaworski and committee counsel
John Doar was "coached" by the special prosecutor's
office on the evidence, he said.
The publicity surrounding the impeachment hearings,
the "smoking gun" tape and Nixon's resignation raised
a possible clash between fair trial and a free press,
Jaworski said.
"The press had a right to exercise their constitutional
guarantee and Nixon had a right to stand on his consti
. tutional guarantees", he said.
If President Ford had not pardoned Nixon, Jaworski
said, the "unprecedented news coverage might have so
subjugated and influenced the minds of jurors "that it
could have taken one to three years for Nixon to get a
fair trial.
Jaworski also said he knows what was on the famous
18 minute gap in the Presidential tapes.
"I do know the gap was a conversation between former
Attorney General John Mitchell and Nixon in which
Mitchell told Nixon about the Committee to Reelect the
President's involvement in the Watergate break-in," he
said.
Jaworski spoke as a part of the biennual CI ine, Williams
Memorial Lectureship and was paid a $500 honorarium
for the speech.

"Inflation is tearing this country apart," Dyas said.
"We can't stand that as individuals or as institutions."
He said inflation could be slowed by balancing the
budget, easing off our national dependence on imported
energy and stimulating shrinking productivity.
Dyas said two polls released this week which showed
him trailing Bereuter had a positive impact on his cam
paign, but he had been doing his own polling which indi
cated he had a "good lead."
The polls made the campaign "aware of the reality that
this is going to be a close race," Dyas said. "They pro
vided the sharp edge we need as we go into the last few
weeks of the campaign."
"Those polls show that at worst we're even, at best
we're a little ahead," he said.
Dyas also repeated his opposition to the Norden Dam
project because of environmental concerns, exaggerated
cost benefit ratios and high payback rates.
