Bereuter banks on quiet campaign
By Gene Gcntnip
Daily Nebrtskan Cerior Deporter
Rep. Doug Bereuter said his
campaign has not been hurt by
the longer-than-expected Con
gressional session.
Bereuter, a Republican, is seek
ing his fourth term as Nebraska's
1st District Congressman. He will
try to defeat challenger Monica
Bauer in the Nov. 6 election.
"I don't think there is a need for
a 'crash-campaign " he said.
Bereuter said he has kept close
contact with his constituents over
the past six years and said they
know where he stands on more
political issues.
Bereuter said recent polls indi
cate his lead over hi3 opponent
has risen to over 60 percentage
points.
"Much of what I do between
now and the election will be very
low-key and non-political," he
said.
Throughout the election Ber
euter has declined to debate
Bauer charging that "she has been
less specific on the issues," and
that he would "only have to make
correction after correction,' for
Mrs. Bauer.
In response to Bauer's allega
tions that he isnt concerned with
the most important needs of hb
district, Bereuter said the charge
is "ridiculous."
Bereuter said he spends his
greatest share of time on agricul
ture and calls it "a product of my
experience."
"I decided to make ag exports
my priority. Representatives from
from the bread-basket of our
country have neglected trade and
tax committees which day after
day have more impact on agricul
ture than the agriculture com
mittee itself," Bereuter said.
Bereuter cited a strong voting
record on all issues including
agriculture.
"I vote 1 00 percent agriculture,"
he said.
Federal spending must be re
duced, Bereuter said, because of
increasing interest rates which
have a "high impact" on small
business end agriculture.
Bereuter said it Is important
for the federal government to
keep tax revenue coming In and
reduce outlay for unemployed
compensation, welfare programs,
and Job training.
He said if the government is
going to have an affect on federal
spending it must deal with the
major weapons systems includ
ing the MX missile and F-18 figh
ter bomber. He said he would cut
weapons systems and wasteful
procurement and spare parts
policies and reduce the amount
of navy ships to 600.
Bereuter has been a U.S. repre
sentative for District 1 for six
years.
He graduated from UNL and
later received two master's degrees
from Harvard University one
in public administration and one
in city planning.
Bereuter is a past state senator
and intelligence officer with the
military.
Bauer aims to meet district needs
By Gene Gentrup
Daily Nebraska!) Senior Reporter
District 1 candidate Monica
Bauer thinks the United States
should take advantage of a "win
dow of opportunity" and agree on
a "mutual verifiable nuclear freeze"
with the Soviet Union.
Bauer is challenging Republi
can incumbent Doug Bereuter
for a spot in the House of Repre
sentatives. A nuclear freeze would cut the
defense budget and substantially
reduce the federal defifit, Bauer
said, adding that the opportunity
for a nuclear freeze may be lost if
the United States makes an irre
vocable commitment to the develop
ment of space warfare technol
ogy. She said she opposes several
proposed weapon systems, in
cluding the MX missile.
Bauer said she opposes the
proposed Jenkins-Conabale amend
ment that would establish a bal
anced budget as federal policy. It
also would limit annual spending
increases to the same percentage
growth as the gross national pro
duct. "If our congressional represen
tatives don't have enough disci
pline, we've got big troubles in
this country," she said.
Bauer said she favors a "pay-as-you-go"
federal budget under

which new programs wouldn't be
approved without an accompan

The Kemp-Roth tax cut of 1981
was a "giveaway to the rich," she
said, adding that taxes should be
increased for those who earn
more than $60,000 annually. The
new revenue could be used to
reduce the federal budget deficit.
Bauer and Bereuter both sup
port the Equal Rights Amend
ment and oppose a human life
amendment to the Constitution.
Bauer also agrees with Bereuter
on commitments to tough child
support law, pay-equity studies,
adequate financing for family
planning and domestic violence
programs.
However, Bauer said she doesnt
think Bereuter has done a good
job of representing his district.
"Mr. Bereuter was trained as a
city planner and became active in
politics as a city planner. He
doesn't have a fee for what this
district is all about," Bauer said.
Bauer charges that Bereuter
doesn't abide by the priorities of
his district, a fault she says is
most evident in his service on the
banking and foreign affairs com
mittee. "The district is two-thirds rural
and the biggest industry is agri
culture " she said. "Mr. Bereuter is
representing what a senator in
some other state like California
or Massachusetts would be ex
pected to do. His priorities are
not in the interest of his district."
Bauer said the small amount of
money she has spent campaign
ing is a good example of how she
makes "every penny count.
Although some may consider
the fact that Bauer has never
held a political office a handicap,
she believes her educational back
ground and debating experience
prove she is a legitimate candi
date. Bauer attended Catholic schools
until moving on to Central High
SchooL in Omaha. She did not
graduate from high school, but
chose instead to study music in
Michigan and California. She later
received her General Equivalency
Test diploma. Bauer spent three
years studhing music at UNL but
abandoned her persuit of music
to prepare for a law career. She
transferred to Brown University
and became involved in politics
and participated in three model
United Nations conferences. She
was also a champion intercolle
giate debater.
