Darden Against Waiting
Period For Handguns
By BUDDY ROBERTS
Staff Writer
Seventh District Rep.
George ‘Buddy’’ Darden said
Tuesfiay that he would not
vote in favor of adding an
amendment to a major drug
bill that would allow for a
seven-day waiting period
before tl)lle purchase of a
handgun.
Darden told the Chattooga
County Chamber of Commerce
at its quarterly Booster
Breakfast at the Tavern in
Trion that he would not sup
port any kind of gun
restriction.
The seven-day restriction
may be added to an omnibus
drug bill, under which selected
drug dealers could receive the
death penalty.
CONGRESS
Also at the breakfast,
Darden outlined action taken
during the 100th session of
Congress, which was to con
vene again on Tuesday, after
observing the Rosh Hashanah
holiday on Monday.
Ambulance
Decision
Awaited
Chattooga County Commis
sioner Harry Powell apparent
ly had not made a decision on
purchasing a new ambulance
as of near noon Wednesday.
Sharon Huskey, the com
missioner’s secretary and clerk,
said Wednesday she hadn’t
heard from Powell on whether
he had made a decision on the
ambulance proposals.
Bids from two companies
were opened by Powell on Sept.
2. They ranged from $38,961 to
$49,481 for different types of
vehicles.
Rives Okays

Of Roadway
The Georgia Department of
Transportation has approved

Subligna Road, it was an
nounced this week by Hal
Rives, commissioner of the
DOT.
Rives expressed apprecia
tion to Sen. Waymond *‘Son
ny”’ Huggins and Rep. John
Crawford for their assistance in

for Chattooga County.
The project has been
authorized, Rives said, and
work will begin as soon as the

REP. GEORGE “BUDDY” DARDEN (R) GREETED
By Chamber Of Commerce President Eddy Ellenburg
During this session, 6,780
bills have been introduced in
the House of Representatives,
and 3,729 have geen proposed
in the Senate. As of Tuesday,
959 have been passed, though
Darden said he did not expect
many more to be passed this
session.
The president has vetoed
six of the passed bills, and Con
gress has overridden the veto
three times, Darden added.
Currently, Congress is con
sidering a major trade bill, a
catastrophic health care bill,
which Darden referred to as “‘a
good, strong health-care pro
gram,”’ and a bill concerning
textile apparel and footwear.
VETO LIKELY
Darden said he expects
President Reagan to veto the
Senate's proposal of the textile
bill, and encouraged the
Chamber to ask the president
to refrain from vetoing the
measure.
Congress has also been con
sidering several budget pro
posals, he said. ‘“This year is
the first since 1961 that we
have passed all 13 budget ap-
Bropriation bills,” he added.
arden said he expects more
bipartisan cooperation with the
new budget bills.
Specigc legislation has also
been passed concerning the ap-
Eropriation of funds for
ypassin_F Chickamaua&;\ Na
tional Military Park in Walker
County. The U. S. 27 project
has a total cost of S3O-million,
Darden said, and the federal
government will J)rovide 75
gercent of the funding for the
y‘fass. with the state pro
viding the remaining 25 per
cent. Some- $6-million have

already been set aside for the
project, he added.
BOGGED DOWN
The consideration of a new
defense proposal, Darden said,
has become ‘‘bogged down.”
He attributed this slowing
down to the ‘‘bickering bet
ween the two presidential can
didates this year.”
Along with mentioning the
upcoming election for the
House of Representatives,
Darden discussed what he felt
would be major concerns with
the upcoming election of the
new president. ‘‘The new presi
dent will preside during a new
era of relations with the Soviet
Union,” he said. ‘‘But just
because we have good negotia
tions with them doesn’t mean
we can let down our defenses.”
PROBLEMS
Darden also mentioned pro
blems in the economy and
American industry, as well as
the increasing size of the elder
ly poFulation.
Also on Tuesday's pro
géram, new members of the
hamber of Commerce were
announced. Durin the
Chamber’'s May mem%)ershjp
drive, new members added
were Floyd College, Napoleonic
Tactics, Inc., Farmer's Fur
niture, Mike's Radio Service,
Jo Ann Mitchell and WAWA
television in Rome.
Nancy Niero Massengill,
vice president of Napoleonic
Tactics Inc., spoke concerning
this weekend's reenactment of
the Battle of Chickamauga
and Sheriff Gary McConnell
spoke about his o{fice‘s respon
sibilities this weekend at the
reenactment.
