New Dune Bill Called ‘Back Room 9 SEA ISLE CITY City Commissioner Andrew .1 Bednarek has charged that Assemblyman Robert Hollenbeck. Chairman of the State Assembly Energy and Natural Resource Committee, is about to introduce a revised Dune and Shorefront Act without having consulted local shore officials for their input or suggestions "I am not aware of any elected official from Cape May County that was invited by ^either Assemblyman Hollenbeck, his staff, "'or the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection to participate in drafting the revised Shorefront bill. I certainly was not'" Bednarek said "THIS ‘RACK ROOM* process of laws being written by the very same regulatory body 'the DEP) that has the power of enforcement has got to be stopped." Bednarek continued. "Our state legislators must put ad end to allowing various state regulatory bodies the unprecedented regujatory authority that agencies like DEP possess " Bednarek characterize the DEP’s selective involvement in the drafting of the new Shorefront Act* as a process that "smacks of bureaucratic vested interests, " The contents of the revise bill, he said, raise the same objections that were originally voice last spring when the DEP first intreuced the Dune and Shorefront Protection Act Benarek still believes the new proposal usurps "home rule." entourages population redistribution, gives the Commissioner of DEP dictatorial power, allows state zoning and will eventually result in the loss of tax ratables to the seashore municipalities ••they have Removed the so destruction section, but replaced it with an even more outrageous proposal that grants the Commissioner of DEP the "right of first refusal" for the purchase of any property that ' lies within the (Page 3 Please)

An Interview with Beech Fox

You have a background in law enforcement and the military, having been a N.J. State Policeman, an Army National Guard officer and now County Sheriff. Vou have called for increased military spending and a reduction in non-defense spending. I>o you have any military proposal or program in particular you would most enthusiastically foster as a

Congressman?

Yes. I do. One of my important concerns and an area I think needs upgrading is the state of the defense posture insofar as the military personnel problems themselves; speaking in terms of numbers, training, of remuneration, of incentives for people to stay in the service as career people — incentives for people to stay in the service as leaders to provide the kind of on-going cadre that's so badly needed. If we had an emergency, even short of war. you need

instructioas.

These people have not been given reasons and incentives to stay in the service. They have left in droves. And I think that’s one of the most crucial areas that must be immediately addressed; top priority with any other area... Mr. Reagan says the problem isn’t so much a shortage of energy as a surplus of government. Do you agree? Certainly I agree with that, as far as that goes. I think it’s fairly well known, most experts will agree, that 90 per cent of the

world’s oil reserves, as a quick example— to take one small part of the subject—are relatively unexplored... I think the problem with energy, as simplistic as it may sound, is-for openers- to get the government off the backs of American enterprise in the energy field to allow them the freedom to explore, to expand, to grow and to meet head on—without sacrificing some of those environmental and ecological points that are so commonly thrown out—to get the

regulations out of the way. to get the government out of the way, and to let American enterprise go ahead and solve the problems of energy. We have now what. I think, is basically a wrong approach; something I would have never supported and won’t support after November—the so-called synfuels-type projects. Here again, what are we doing; we're having government say to the American people that thru your tax dollars we can do a better job. we’ll provide the incentive, we'll put up money for certain selected industries tnat'll do the exploring and the experimenting. We know how to handle better what to do with energy, what to do. in fact, with everything.'

The real solution is to get government the hell out of the way of the American private sector, and say: Felldws. go solve our energy problems. Go do. your exploring. Build your refineries. Go for the coal Go for the new expansit'n of some of the other alternate systems of fuel But you do It. You provide the jobs. You provide incentive. You keep the rewards for doing that job ... That's where the solution lies Not with Uncle Sam in Washington.

This county has no choice if it Is to meet energy and job needs than to continue operating and constructing nuclear power plants. — That is also Mr. Reagan's view. Do you share his o#fnion that our nation's ene.gy future is tied to the atom? No, not in that way. I support nuclear fuel insofar as its practical necessity could tide us over, to provide us with energy we wouldn’t otherwise have at this very moment. But I say. I support nuclear energy for whatever length of time it takes until we can come up with a practical way with the type of alternate solutions which will render it unnecessary to maintain. Unfortunately. those solutions-ift spite of all the rhetoric I hear from my opponent

about solar and gasohol and all of that -till they're refined and till they're made economically feasible, nuclear energy is practically a must. I would like to sec American enterprise render nuclear energy unnecessary thru growth and new expansion I welcome the day when we won’t need •L We could go on asking if yAu agree with your party’s presidential candidate on every issue. Is there any policy staod by Mr. Reagan with which you disagree? I think across the major spectrum of the issues, we agree I’m sure we don’t agree on everything. I don’t agree with anybody on everything. But in the main, certainly on the key. critical issues, certainly I support Mr Reagan and the Republican platform The views and proposals you are expressing in this campaign are those traditionally espoused by the Republican Party. What makes you think they will he more acceptable now than during the past 2f years the Democrats have outnumbered Republicans in Congress? For the very simple reason that throughout all of those years the Democrat Party has been able to convince people that if they will allow Washington and Congress to decide their fate for themthat they will allow.
