Nunn comments on issues BY QUIMBY MELTON Editor of Fayette County News Senator Sam Nunn sees bright hope for the future in America. In a phone conference interview with the Griffin Daily News, Nunn answered questions on such topics as relations with Cuba and Vietnam, the concept of the feasibility of a volunteer army and his bid for reelection in 1978. Nunn spoke to the Griffin News in the phone conference along with four other Georgia newspapers. City employes complete course Four employes of the City of Griffin have completed a course offered by the Georgia Water and Wastewater Institute at West Georgia College. Albert W. Stowell, John W. Griffiths, Jr., and Haskell H. Hill, all of Griffin, took part in the one-week session of the activated sludge workshop. Leon S. Eller, of Griffin, took part in the one-week session on water distribution. The institute is a cooperative training effort of the Environmental Protection Division of the State Department of Natural Resources and the Board of Regents through West Georgia. The training sessions are geared toward preparing participants for required state certification examinations and upgrading the efficiency of water and wastewater treatment plant operators. Answering questions on the concept of the volunteer army, Nunn said he did not see the need to reinstitute the draft system the U.S. had during the Vietnam War. “I would like to see a national debate on the issue very soon,” noted the junior senator from Georgia. Nunn also said that he favored a plan of registration but would have to consider the alternatives if feasible. Relations With Cuba-Vietnam Nunn said he considered Cuba and Vietnam two seperate govememnts and two seperate situations. Nunn noted he would not consider any relations with Cuba until they withdraw forces from Angola and their aid to Zaire. “There should be no moves to ease trade restrictions with the Cubans until they display a relaxed attitude toward the African nations.” Nunn commented on Vietnam by saying, “We don’t owe Vietnam anything in terms of war payments.” The Senator added that Americans suffered as much as the Vietnamese during the course of the war. A bright note of cooperation with the Missing In Action American men problem from the Vietnam government did give Nunn hope of getting back together with the relations. “If this type of cooperation continued, we would consider relations.” Nunn emphasized that in no way would he approve of their types of government. He noted that relations would be as the U.S. had them with the Russians and Chinese. Fort Gordon Nunn is looking into the civilian employment situation at Fort Gordon. He is presently trying to tie the Army down and get certain cost estimates. He said that he was presently asking the Secretary of the Army a number of questions. Marijuana Nunn believes that on a federal level marijuana possession should be emphasized less. He does believe that the selling of this and other drugs, should have stronger penalties. He does not favor de criminalization of the drug now. “We must go after the hard drugs,” he said. Election Reform In the interview, Nunn stated that the elpctorial college did need some type of reform. He does not favor a direct election method of choosing a president, as Jimmy Carter is urging. Nunn favors some type of proportion of the votes. “If we have a direct election method for the campaign, you would only see the candidates in the more populated states, soliciting votes,” he said. He also said congressional election funding for members of Congress would turn into a bureaucratic mess. “I have grave doubts about this,” he said. r Cali ( ) BALLARD'S SERVICES (* 1 Bill Ballard or Shirley Padgett J ( 228-1340 1 1 629 West Taylor St. C Judicial Reform Nunn believes that judicial reform is needed. “The process needs to be speeded up,” he said. Sen. Nunn also added that the country needed swift and certain punishment for crime. “This will act as a deterant.” Chiefs and Indians At the present time, Nunn and the Armed Services Committee is looking into the overload of top ranking military personnel. He said there was a good bit of hope that the overload would be reduced. The fact that there were too many Chiefs and not enough Indians in the military would be considered. “We have got to get the signal out that everyone is in the military does not need have to be a general. The military is a good career.” He said that they would also be looking into the fact that the civil service branches could use a little trimming. Reelection—l97B Nunn added that he planned to seek reelection. “I have no plans for a volunteer retirement as yet from the Senate seat.” Senator Nunn will be a candidate in 1978.
