Energy Survey Indicates Trend Toward

Carpools and Less Driving

Two issues ago the Orientorpublished a survey questionnairedealing with the questionssurrounding the limitation ofavailable gasoline per household.We used a hypothetical amount of20 gallons per month per householdand asked what changes thisenergy crunch might make onemployees daily lives.

Our survey response was goodand indicated the majority ofemployees were already car-pooling and that enlargement orthe ioining of carpools would berequired under strict energyallocation. On the latter indica-tions, the purchase of a more fuel

economic vehicle or public trans-portation ran a close second andthird.

We also found that most peoplewould consider changes invacation plans and that most couldnot reduce the number of carscurrently owned. Very few peoplefelt a change in residence or em-ployment would be required ordictated. Most of the answers onquestion six (see below) whichdealt with personal priorities werefairly evenly divided among thefour categories of priorities weallowed.

We did have some who wanted toknow by what authority we im-

posed a gasoline limit, that it wasnot in the realm of the Orientor'sauthority. Another wanted to knowwhy we were asking personalquestions. We didn't intend toimpose anything or pry into per-sonal lives. We were simplyestablishing a hypotheticalsituation and giving you food forthought and a chance to share yourthoughts with others through thesurvey.

For those that were kind enoughto respond to the survey, here is theway the answers tabulated basedon the percentage of responsesdevoted to each element.

(A Savings Bond Editorial)No matter where you work, people are always asking for a

contribution to a worthy cause. U.S. Savings Bonds are no dif-ferent.

We're not another charity drive, but we will ask for some ofyour money. The difference is that we're going to give it back toyou, with interest.

What's the catch? There isn't one.It makes you wonder why more people don't buy Bonds.Sure, some argue they can get more by putting their money

soinewhere else. But these are usually the same people who say,"If I had some ham, I could have ham and eggs. If I had someeggs."

Savings Bonds won't lose your money, or leave you short offunds. After a brief holding period, you can cash them to meet afinancial emergency. Without penalties. Without hassle.

With most savings plans, sizable results take quite a while toaccumulate. But bonds mature in just five years, and yield 6

percent annually for 10 years after maturity.For example, by having $18.75 allotted from your twice-

monthly paycheck, you'll get a $50 bond each month. Stash itaway somewhere, then forget about it. In five years, the bond youpaid$37.50 for will be worth its $50 face value. And the longer you

hold it, the more valuable it will become.

GanliroRiglrtsMal<eaWlong?

When good battles evil, we allknow whom to root for. But whengood is in conflict with good,what are we to do?

On May lst, from one end ofthe country to the othei we willbe asking and answering thatquestion in our annual obser-vance of Law Day.

This year Law Day is a cele-bration of our right to change-and an examination of ourchanging rights. Never belore inthe history of our country havethere been so many basic rightsin collision:

The list is endless and theissues are complex.

Children asking for the rightto be recognized as legal per-sons capable of making majordecisions at home and at school;

The Elderly demanding theright to work as long as they arephysically able ; M an age m e ntdemanding the freedom to hirethe young;

Prisoners petitioning for bet-ter treatment and the right togreater access to our courts...

Law Day is not a day of takingsides but of laking measure-ment, or reviewing our values

From the Black book:The departure of two 15's, Gil

Ferguson to retirement and FrankRoth to DMA Headquarters,certainly makes for some big shoesto fill. We wish them both well, ofcourse, and for Gil there is a littleenvy. As he relaxes in the summersun we'll be thinking about him aswe fight the traffic to and fromwork. Gil's career. as is noted inthe page three story, is quitesuccessful. Having served withhim in a number of capacities, Ican attest to the fact that it hasbeen a hard working career. He isnever turned from a battle andfor those that are the recipients ofhis efforts (AD employees), thathas meant a great deal in termsof looking out for their interests.Frank and I have had the pleasureof crossing paths quite a bit too. Iremember the first time I satdown and talked with Frank wasin Washington D.C. over breakfastat the Hot Shoppee while we bothwere attending the ACSM/ASPnational convention. He was helpful then toward this brand newemployee and has continued to bea "square shooter" with the Pub-lic Affairs Office.

The highly secure and reliablenetwork will satisfy Air Force,Army and Navy needs. It will beused by national commandauthorities and crews controllingintercontinental ballistic missiles,aircraft and ships having nuclearcapability.

Development of these newsatellites will fall under the AirForce Space and Missile SystemsOrganization. Each satellite willhave 25 channels and be able totransmit both voice and datacommunications.

Although the Air Force currentlyhas a nuclear f orces com-munications network, it mustshare its communicationssatellites with other military users.

New single-purpose satellites"will permit continuous anduninterrupted communicationslinks for positive command and

insure fail-safe ."--;;;;;i#tduring crises and wartime con-ditions," he said.

The satellites will be able torelay messages in space withoutusing a ground station, providingfaster communications betweenusers and increasing resistance toenemy jamming.

It is expected the satellites willbe launched by a reusable spaceshuttle.
