Winn refutes inefficiency, absenteeism charges
By REBECCA CHANEY Staff Reporter
Republican Rep. Larry Winn an-
nounced charges yesterday of inef-
ficiency and absenteeism made by his
3rd District seat. Dan Watkins.
"Watkins has had to do what he's done to get name recognition." Winn told about 50 students attending the series in Green Hall. The series in Green Hall. The series
sponsored an address by Watkins earlier in the semester.
Winn, who like Watkins is a KU graduate, said the series offered an opportunity to "see what makes both candidates tick."
WATKINS RAS charged that Winn, a seven-tier congressman, had not been charged with an assault.
Winn said that each time a bill was introduced, it was "a bill to you, our taxavers."
On the absentee charges, Winn said records showed that votes taken during
Meanwhile, he said, he was gaining experience as a U.N. delegate that would help him in his congressional committees.
Winn has served eight years on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He said he was appointed in 1979 as a delegate to the United Nations with full voting privileges because of his seniority on that committee.
sessions he missed were never closer than 11 and that his vote in those cases
Winn said that he was the only member of the House from Kansas in history to serve as a U.N. delegate. He said the law required two congressional
representatives, one Democrat and one Republican, to serve as delegates.
Defending his time traveling for both the Foreign Affairs Committee and the United Nations, Winn said he had met with hundreds of world leaders and gained a better understanding of the problems of Third World countries.
Winn said he was often critically questioned on the impact of the Foreign
"That's shallow thinking," he said. "Everything is affected by national foreign policy, more directly now than ever before."
IF RE-ELECTED, Winn said he would be the ranking Republican on the
Science and Technology Committee, which he said was responsible for research and development of energy policy.
Winn is also a member of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Board, which he said was a little-known board to help direct federally funded technology studies. He is as much a chairman of the board under Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The board's importance, Winn said, was that it was evenly represented by Democrats and Republicans. In most numbers of the publicans are outnumbered two to one.
With the Nov. 4 elections approaching, Winn said that no matter who was elected president, the nation's No.1 priority must be to do everything
possible to balance the budget and stop inflation.
"We need to show that government can be controlled," he said.
Winn said his campaign platform in 1966 included balancing the budget, decreasing deficit spending and strengthening national defense. He said his voting record through the past 14 years was consistent with that platform.
About Congress rejecting Carter's proposed budget this year, Winn said he voted against the budget because "it would have been just kidding the people."
