Another possible environmen-
tal action is a ban on use of
all phosphates in detergents in
Michigan. Anderson feels there
is support for such an action'
but cautions that the "total ram-
ifications" of such legislation
must be considered. "The prob-
lem is, if you take phosphates
away, you've got to give the
housdwife something else - like'
an oil-based soap. And you can
see the connotations to that."
It is expected that Representa-
tive Lynn Johndahl (D-East
Lansing) will introduce a bill
that sets up/guidelines for the
transport of radioactive wastes.
A bill designed to protect
dwindling wetlands and swamp
areas will probably be passed
during this session.' Last year,

Another Milliken recommenda-

FINALLY, "sunset" legislation
is a long-term project that
has attracted the support of both
progressives and economy-mind-
ed conservatives. First enacted
in Colorado and other western,
and southern states, sunset laws
provide a check for that mnod-
ern-day all-encompassing poli-
tical bogeyman, namely, ram-
pant bureaucracy. Sunset laws
require all state agencies to un-
dergo periodic review. At such'
time, the agency has to show
that the services it provides are
still worthwhile and that its
budgetary request is reason-
able.

The real meat-and-potatoes part
of their research has been direc-
ted towards constructing a re-
viewing mechanism and proper
criteria for evaluation. Corbin
notes that the states which fr t
passed sunset laws are now ex-
periencing difficulty.
"They just set termination

As for the state igencies that
would be affected bj a sunset

been "re-assured that this is rot

on them. However, at this mo-
ment, there is really nothing
concrete for the agencies to be
opposed to. Recommendations
for sunset legislation are s t i I1:

Possibly, a legislative propesal

.WASHINGTON (P) - The
rights of free expression of
citizens, newspapers, lobbyists
and broadcasters could be af-
fected by legislation expected
to come before Congress this
year.
Some bills are designed to
expand freedom of speech while
others would curtail that free-
dom. It is too early to predict
which proposals have the best
chance of enactment.
THE REPORTERS Com-
mittee for Freedom of the
Press, which monitors First
Amendment - related 'legisla-
tion, says there were 64 bills af-
fecting the news media in the
last Congress.
/All but half a dozen of those
legislative proposals died in
committee. Among those which
became law were measures op-
ening federal regulatory agen-
cy meetings to the public, al-
lowing attorney's fees to be
awarded to plaintiffs in some
lawsuits brought by the media
and permitting newspapers to
publish lottery information.
citizens' lobbyist grouvs might
decide to disband" rather than
comply with the requirements.
The bill passed the House last
year, but did not clear the Sen-
ate. A House Judiciary Com-
mittee aide indicated a House
panel is likely to take it up
again soon.
Its opponents will argue that
it infringes upon the constitu-
tional right of a citizen to peti-
tion the government.
AMONG THE BILLS already'
introduced is a renewal by Sen.
William Proxmire, (D-Wis.), of
his proposal to repeal the Fair-
ness Doctrine and equal time
requirements for broadcasters.
The Fairness Doctrine re-
quires broadcasters to give op-
portunities for the presentation
of contrasting viewpoints on
public issues. The equal time
rule says that when a political
candidate is given or sold
broadcast time, his opponents
must be provided an equal op-
portunity.

has declined to strike the pro-

Kennedy, (D - Mass.), who is
readying one version of the
measure, said . controversial
provisions designed to suppress
publication of governmental
"secrets" would be dropped.
The aide said stiff penalties
for obscenity would be retain-
ed in the bill and were not ex-
pected to generate controversy.
However, John Shattuck, di-
rector of the Washington office
-of the ACLU, took a different
view.
"If they are in there," said
Shattuck, "we will oppose

LOS ANGELDS (AP) - In an
age of rockets to th, moon, a
trip across the United States in
a hot air balloon might not seem
like much of an adventure. And
there is a routine side to it,
says Karl Thomas.
"I'll go up and let the wind
take me east for about 10 o112
hours, then I'll come down and
refuel and go up again," said
the 28-year-old adventurist who
plans to leave Monday.
But Thomas knows the jour-
ney is potentially dangerous,
and that's why he's going to
have a crew of 18 following on
the ground; why he's talping
along a parachute; why he'11
wear arctic clothing for sub-
zero temperatures, and why he
plans to enjoy the entire trip
immensely.
The Ford Motor Co. is spon-
soring the 2,600-mile cross-coun-
try trip, as Thomas, from Flint,
Mich., trys to set a record of
better than 41 days. Ford's spon-
sorship doesn't insure success,
he said.
Asked Thomas: "If it was
easy, why hasn't it been done
by more people? Why are bal-
loons considered so dangerous?"
Thomas should know better
than to try something foolhar-
dy. He has a master's degree in
clinical psychology and was a
practicing psychologist for five
months, "until I realized that I
hated the patients. I found only
one difference between patients
and psychologists: sometimes
the patients get well."

Legislation to put the recom-
mendations into effect is ex-
nected to be introduced. Civil
libertarians have generally ap-
ulauded the recommendations,
but would like Congress to go
even further. The legislative
program of the ACLU, for in-
stance, would do away with
FBI security checks and,, re-
strict the bureau to investigat-
ing crimes.
ONE OF THE most contro-
versial bills of the last session,
S-1, a major overhaul of the
federal criminal code, is likely
to be reintroduced but without
the features that touched off
the most heated argument.
