Exon cites experience in oiu
By Jeff Gocdnin
Despite President Reagan's popularity in Nebraska,
U.S. Sen. J. James Exon does not think that popular
ity will have any effect on the senatorial contest.
That's what they (the- Republicans) say and
that's what they hope," Exon said. "But the voters
have had their chance to express their opinion on
James Exon a lot more than they've had to express
their opinion of Ronald I'er-n. I've done well with
them. I think the coat tails effect will be negligible."
Exon, who was elected in 1978 after serving two
terms as governor said his experience as governor
and senator give him an insight on problems that
none of his Republican opponents can match.
"I have the seniority, the experience, and the
background to represent Nebraska in the U.S.
Senate," he said. "I don't think the people of Nebraska
want someone who will be a rubber stamp for. the
president. I think they know that I represent
Nebraska's interests first."
Exon said he is concerned about the administra
tion's policy in Central America.
"I'm worried about it," he said. "I don't think we
have clearly defined our goals there. I think covert
operations, such as the mining of Nicaragua's ports,
don't make any significant contribution to the prob
lems of that region. The problems are basically the
results of poverty and military dictatorships that a
succession of presidents, both Republican and Demo
cratic, have backed."
Exon said he favored economic aid for some of the
countries in the region, including El Salvador. He
zIzq said he favors r.uking tUut aid conditional on
an improvement in human rights in El Salvador.
"I don't think there's any question that if they're
going to accept our aid, they should do away with
their death squads," he said,
Exon also cautioned against a military solution to
the problem.
"If we think we can bring our will to bear there by a
massive influx of arms, we're going to be proven
wrong," he said.
Exon stopped short of predicting U.S. military
intervention in Central America.
"I just say that we have the beginnings of an Amer
ican expeditionary force in Honduras today."
Exon defended the president when he responded
to a charge Sen. Edward Kennedy, leveled at Reagan
last week, charging that Reagan had violated the
War Powers Act.
"I don't believe the president has violated the War
Rowers Act," Exon said. "I believe he's within his
rights."
Exon said he supports the idea of a constitutional
amendment to balance the budget, as well as a line
item veto for the president, but he said these are not
cures for the problem.
"A balanced budget through a constitutional
amendment isn't going to be the solution,' he said.
"We still have, to have a sound economic policy."
Exon said he was opposed to the nuclear freeze.
"I think it's well-intentioned, but I think passage of
a nuclear freeze would be interpreted by the Soviet
Union as a sign of weakness," Exon said.
Exon, who has no opposition in the Democratic
primary, will face the winner of the Republican
primary in the fall election. .
