Perry student Ronald Ragin recently met Secretary of
Agriculture Mike Espy on a FOCUS class trip to Washington
D.C.
Student meets Espy
during D.C. class trip
By RONALD RAGIN
Special to the HTJ
Our FOCUS class had been
preparing for the Washington D.C.
trip since the beginning of the
school year.
One of our assignments was to
write a letter to any person in the
Clinton Administration, requesting
information about their job.
I chose Mike Espy, Secretary of
Agriculture for two reasons. First
of all, Mr. Espy attended Howard
University with my father, Wayne
Ragin, who spoke highly of him.
Secondly, my interest in him grew
stronger when he visited the
Agricultural Center, in my home
town Perry.
I not only requested information
about his job, I asked if he would
meet my FOCUS class while on
the trip.
After months of waiting, I fi
nally received a call for Secretary
Espy's office. They called and re
quested my schedule while on the
trip. I gave them Mrs. Powell's
(my FOCUS teacher's) phone num
ber so that she could arrange a time
for us to meet
When the time finally came we
were in Washington D.C. On our
First day of touring, we went to the
Agriculture Building. We took a
group photo and got autographs
from Mike Espy.
Meeting with someone in such a
high position was an honor.

Perdue will head
panel to study
phone competition
State Senator Sonny Perdue of
Bonaire has been named by
Lieutenant Governor Pierre Howard
to head a special legislative study
panel which will examine and make
recommendations on possible
increased competition for local
telephone service.
The Senate Competitive Local
Telephone Service Study
Committee was established under
legislation sponsored by Sen.
Perdue and passed by the 1994
General Assembly.
The creation of the panel
stemmed from broad interest in a
bill which would have cleared the
way for increased local telephone
competition and temporarily frozen
local phone rates. Action on the
bill was deferred pending further
study by the committee.
Sen. Perdue noted that future
industrial growth, job creation and
educational opportunities in the
state are dependent, in large part, on
new communications technology.
He said competition will help
encourage cost-effective ways to
meet increasing demands and benefit
consumers.
"We have already seen successful
competition in interstate, long
distance phone service," said
Perdue. "I think we need to see if
this is applicable at the local level."
The committee is expected to
submit its recommendations to the
1995 General Assembly.
