Balanced budget?

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: juThis past week the House passed the balanced budget amendment, according to their yersion by the year 2002. This means there are six years to accomplish this. One way the Republicans have been pushing is to increase spending cuts. Already agency has come under scrutioy! —the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). I suggest another agency—the CIA. , The October 1994 edition of The Washington Spectator referred to,a book by David Com, “Blond Ghost: Ted Shakley and the ClA’s Chusades.” In the article. Com claims that “Congress now plows some S2B billion a year into the U.S. intelligence budget...” If I'm not mistaken, this is 100 times that of thd budget for the CPB’s of S2BO million. I believe the question should be—do we need the CIA? Each of the armed forces, the state and defense departments, have their own intelligence branches. To leave each branch alone to do their thing would seem to be the same old governmental waste and inefficiency. One way to revamp the

Contrary to initial statements, there have been quite a few changes at the banks that sold out to out-of-state corporations. Some clerical, like new forms and statements. Some shocking, like the closing of branch offices. And some sad, like changes in staffing.

intelligence network is to concentrate all needs and put them under one group, and make that group accountable to Congress. If Congress is indeed serious about spending cuts, no agency, committee, group, etc. can be exempt from consideration. Otherwise, we’ll have the same old business as usual “do nothing” Congress we were tired of in the first place. Only when Congress can stand up to the paid lobbyists are we going to get any results. Brian Hartman Nappanee Please be considerate TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: One nice thing about rain in January is that you to shovel it! However...it amazes me that so many able-bodied residents don’t clear off their sidewalks within 24 hours of a snowstorm. Some of these same individuals spend money on sports equipment and lessons, time on athletic teams, and value personal physical fitness. Over 100 children now walk to the newly-remodeled Nappanee Elementary School. Without cleared sidewalks, some kids are forced into the streets. Newspaper and mail carriers prefer shoveled sidewalks, as do those who walk for exercise. I propose a be-considerate-of-others solution: If you can, shovel your sidewalks. If you are disabled, ask for help from a neighbor, church youth, Boy Scout or 4H member. Think Spring! Sincerely, ’ > Beverly W. Fales
