Slattery worried about deficit
By PAM MILLER
U. S. Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., says he is concerned about a mortgage.
And, Slattery says, the mortgage is on the futures of today's young people.
Slattery was in Lawrence on Saturday to attend the dedication Mass for the St. Lawrence Catholic Church, 1631 Crescent Road, but he also used his visit to do a little campaigning.
Slattery is seeking his third term as representative for Kansas 2nd District, which includes Douglas County. He is running against Republican Phill Kline, a KU law student.
Slattery said one of his main concerns was reducing the deficit.
"I've seen studies that indicate that young people today will be paying $50,000 in extra taxes from the debts that have been accumulating since 1981," he said.
Slattery wants to reduce the deficit without cutting back federal funds to higher education
"Last term, Reagan attempted to cut 20 percent of the assistance to higher education," Slattery said. "Our priorities should be structured so that higher education maintains the money it needs."
Slattery serves on the House budget committee. He said the members of the committee held a bipartisan view that the higher education budget should not be cut.
Slattery said higher education cuts could be avoided by making cuts in other places.
"One of the great untold stories is that Reagan wants to spend more money than Congress, mainly on defense and Star Wars," he said.
Slattery has voted in favor of
cutting back money for foreign aid. In the past term, he voted against increasing aid to El Salvador and voted for halting aid to Nicaraguan rebels fighting to overthrow that country's communist government.
"I realize there's a place for foreign aid," he said. "I find it very difficult to support foreign aid bills that spend too much money. We don't spend enough money on the economic and social problems that cause the political problems in those countries.
"This administration has spent too much money on regimes. It ends up being the taxing of low- and middle-income America."
Slattery is in favor of selling U.S. grain to foreign countries, including South Africa.
"I support economic sanctions against South Africa," he said. "But I think we should also sell them grain."

I had a couple of problems when I came to K.U. First, I had to find someone good enough to cut my hair and who would also treat me as a person, not just another paying customer. Secondly, I had to find a place that was located near the campus as well as downtown, because you see, I have no car. Well, I talked to my friends, because they all have great hair cuts, and they recommended Headmasters. I couldn't have done better. Headmasters is located right next to downtown, and besides being convenient, they treated me with the respect I deserve and gave me the best hair cut I've ever had...
The University of Kansas Young Democrates will meet at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Art Gallery of the Kansas Union.
Thanks, Headmasters...'
Headmasters.
