Pro-family forum wants delegates
By ANN SHIELDS
Staff Reporter
A local organization, upset with the process of selecting Kansas delegates to this summer's White House Conference on which he will elect its own set of delegates next month.
Because Gov. John Carlin will appoint 14 of the 21 delegates, they will represent government rather than public opinion. They will be in the Valley Pro-Family Forum, said yesterday.
The seven other delegates will be chosen randomly from self-nominations.
- Delegates from all 50 states will attend the conference July 11 and 12 in Washington, D.C. The conference will focus on concerns of the American family.
HANNA SAID she thought some Kansas government officials were using the White House conference to show public support for their programs even though the public was not.
However, Robin Salem, aide to Carlin, said the guidelines for delegate selection were approved by the White House.
$n$ state steering committee has been ormet to select Kansas representatives to
the conference and to help develop a platform of state goals for the conference.
"We want to represent what Kansas families are, and they certainly don't fit into one category," Salem said.
Hanna said she was worried because she thought most of the members of the state steering committee worked for the government.
HOWEVER, NELL RICHMOND,
secretary for first lady Ramona Carlin, said that only five of the 39 committee members were state employees.
"It's a diversified and well-balanced committee," she said.
Professors, doctors, ministers, and representatives of children's services organizations were chosen from several hundred applicants, she said.
Smith said, "If the members of the committee support those issues it is a matter of individual conscience.
"They certainly weren't quizzed about their point of view before they were chosen."
Hanna said she thought the delegates would support programs, such as national health insurance and increased control of
day care centers, that would increase government spending.
"Over-taxation is one of the major problems facing today's families," she said. "We don't want things supported by government agencies to be rumbled through."
However, Christopher Smith, aide to the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services, said government issues could not be so easily defined.
"Those certainly aren't issues that are supported by a majority of the people in the government of Kansas," he said.
THE FORUM HAS TAKEN 10 positions that will be voted on by those who attend, in addition to the unanimous outlawing abortion, support of a balanced federal budget and an increase in national spending.
Hanna said that all Kansas citizens were invited to the forum's delegate elections March 14 and 15 in Salina.
"Families should never be extended to include homosexuals or non-married couples. It is important in family roles: the father is the head of the family, the mother is the heart of the family."
