Farewell Speeches76-08General George J. Keegan Jr., former head of Air Force Intelligence, has some dire warnings about the state of the Soviet Union's military. If war should come, they lead us militarily and could easily save much of its population from our own nuclear strikes.

Rapid Transit76-08Rapid Transit (trains, subways, etc.) are being held up as the answer to pollution and congestion. But, is it worth the costs involved? The Washington "Metro" is one such development, promising 100 miles of track for $2.5 billion. Trouble is, its behind schedule, doubled in price and only 4.5 miles of track are open.

More About Taxes76-09A bill now in Congress, HR 967, would destroy the family farms and small businesses. It would add a Capital Gains Tax on top of the Estate Tax which so often causes headaches for the survivors of a passing parent. It may not have been so problematic a few years ago, but inflation has caused the "value" of the inherited assets to balloon.

Postcard Registration76-09States are beginning to adopting postcard voter registration, claiming that low voter turnout is due to overly complicated registration. Reagan points out that less people are now registered under this new rule in California, than 5 years previous. Postcard registration simply makes fraud too easy. He cites a woman who sent in 108 applications, with addresses from city parks, vacant lots and abandoned warehouses.

Rhodesia76-09The 1970s was a time of European powers severing their ties with former African colonies. Rhodesia, a former British colony and now known as Zimbabwe, is one that had some difficulty in its transition. There are concerns that the whole south of Africa could come under the influence of Russia.

Yet, the Census has turned into a datamining operation, digging deep into the lives of its citizens, which Reagan found to be wholly unnecessary.

Maybe our Intelligence organizations should have told us about a 1973 speech from Brezhnev in which he states how much they can improve their position. It took a report from British Intelligence, published in the Boston Globe, for this speech to come to light.

Brezhnev76-12In a March 1977 speech, Brezhnev suggest that Israel needs to return the land it captured in the 6-Day War. He claims to be arguing over "the impermissibility of acquisition of territory by war." Reagan then points out the hypocrisy of the statement.

Human Rights76-12The United Nations Genocide Convention is something we should all believe in, and Reagan was on board with the mission, but there are some provisions within it that he has some issues with, specifically regarding the World Court. He did not want a UN system which overrode or superceded our own Constitution or state laws.

Environment76-12Is it capitalism or government that is more to blame for destroying the environment? In the early days, yes, capitalism and the free market were an issue, but they have gotten much better. But consider than the biggest polluter of San Francisco Bay is the city sewer system. Consider that Russians seldom use more than 1/3 of the catch of their fishing trawlers.

What a coincidence, so it Soviet President Nikolay Podgorny. I wonder if they ran into each other? Must be a coincidence that Cuban troops with Russian weapons crossed the border of Angola into Zaire too.

Kidco76-13In a story that starts with 3 children who decide to use manure from a nearby farm to fertilize a local golf course, you'd hardly expect to hear that Reagan would get involved, but when the government of California goes after the kids for tax evasion, failure to obtain the proper permits and several other regulatory offenses, it gets amusing. The story was later turned into a comedy film called, appropriately Kidco.
Keng Piao76-13Reagan comments on a speech given by Keng Piao, director of the Department for Foreign Liaison, regarding relations between China, Russia and the United States. Let's just say, they're playing both sides.

How many drugs have been rejected for sale in the United States because the FDA doesn't consider them "effective?" Reagan mentions the West Germany Thalidomide disaster of the late 50s/early 60s.

Strategy I76-13In 1975, NCS-68 was declassified and paints a picture of the Soviet Union rather different from the one the public may have been familiar with. It was opposed to detente and containment. The impetus for discussing it, now 2 years later, is a report coming from the group ImageAmerican Cause which has similar opinions.

Korea76-14General John Singlaub is currently awaiting reassignment. Why? He made "public statements inconsistent with announced national security policy" which in this case means he disagreed with the president on the removal of troops from South Korea. In a later broadcast (Korea, 78-02), we learn that he was right and troops should not be withdrawn.

Voting76-14President Carter is supporting a bill currently going through Congress which would create "instant voter eligibility" at the polls on the day of the election. All that would be required is a driver's license, Social Security card or other identification. Proponents of the bill say it will not increase voter fraud. Reagan reminds us of numerous incidents of fraud in the last few years which would prove them wrong. Even the head of the Chicago Election Board is against it.

Public Servants76-14Four years before he famously fired striking air traffic controllers in August of 1981, Reagan spoke forcefully about the right of public employees to strike. Public employees aren't striking against the government, they are striking against the citizens. Reagan also points out that you can't look up alternatives to the police or fire department in the yellow pages if your house is on fire.

Hundreds of refugees were interviewed for the book, telling their stories of the forced evacuation of Phnom Penh and wholesale murder, with a goal of returned to an agrarian society.

Russians76-14"Standing in the Athenian marketplace 2000 years ago, Demosthenes asked, "What sane man would let another man's words rather than his deed tell him who is at war and who is at peace with him?" I actually can't find any reference to this Demosthenes quote, but the point is being made that the Soviet Union talks about peace, while throughout the world it is flexing military might in a way we should be taking notice. Reagan quotes from an American Spectator editorial: A World Without Russians by R. Emmett Tyrrell.

Oil I76-15The "experts" are telling us all the oil on Earth will be gone in 30 years (what have I been putting in my car?). Reagan pushes back with some history about similar assessments made as far back as 1914, when the U.S. Bureau of Mines projected 5.7 billion barrels of oil in the United States. We'd pumped 34 billion at the time Reagan spoke.

Cuba76-15President Carter's trying to normalize relations with Cuba. Reagan wants to know how many political prisoners there are on the island nation. He also shares information coming from Anna Galbis, a former member of the Castro government, who spoke at Dartmouth College about the conditions for the average citizen (spoiler, they're not so good).

OSHA76-15"Government exists to protect us from each other." sums things up, but its overly simplified and leaves too much to interpretation. Government provides police (internal) protection, military (external) protection. But, what about protecting us from ourselves?? It seems as though this is the job of OSHA. Can't I ride a motorcycle without a helmet? I'm only endangering myself.

Indexing76-15Indexing is the process of shifting the progressive income tax brackets to compensate for inflation. This would not be done at the federal level until Reagan became president, though in 1976, Reagan's talking about a proposed tax change in California.

South Africa76-16Ever heard of Transkei? South Africa, in an effort to give some autonomy to potentially warring African tribes, South Africa created a number of independent republics. Transkei, unfortunately, was never officially recognized by another outside country, nor by the UN (though it will recognize East Germany as its own country). Reagan speculates this is because "the new little Republic is pro-western and anti-communist, two characteristics the United Nations does not possess."

Endangered Species76-16Nowadays, humans are blamed if a species of animal goes extinct, but is that the truth? What about the millions of species that died before man came to be? Did we kill of all the dinosaurs? The idea that we must protect everything to our own detriment then enteres into the conversation as Reagan tells us the story of the Dickey-Lincoln power facility which was derailed by the Furbish Lousewort and the Snail Darters that delayed the construction of the Tellico Dam in Tennessee.

Socialized Medicine76-16The American Medical Association had spent years fighting against the efforts of Congress to create a socialized medicine system, but Reagan seems their resistance waning. Is it battle fatigue? Thankfully, a recent surge of support saw them reject Congressional plans. Reagan gets a chance to quote an English woman, "We all get our medical care for free you know. It is rather slow. I had to wait 8 years for an appointment with a dermatologist about my face."

Property Rights76-16The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes "the right to own property alone. ... No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property." Well, there are two new UN covenants on rights (one concerning Civil and Political Rights, the other on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) that are up for approval and, wouldn't you know, the Communists are preventing similar language from being included. If the United States signs on and ratifies them, they would violate our 5th and 14th Amendments. Reagan is not pleased.

Unemployment76-18There are many kinds of unemployment and they aren't necessarily caused by the same thing. The minimum wage has a great effect on teenage unemployment. Along those same lines, there isn't going to be one definitive way to reduce unemployment. Another cause can be excessive government benefits for the unemployed... the solution to that unemployment is to fix government.

Now, in 3 years, at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the Soviet Union is attempting to block Israel from participating. On a side note: Taiwan has not been allowed to participate under the title Republic of China, since. The use the name "Chinese Taipei." On another side note: Israel wouldn't participate in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but on their own terms, protesting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

NEA77-24What do Social Engineers and government planners have in store for us? In this case, a Department of Education. The NEA is using support for the DOE as a litmus test for its support of candidates in the 1980 election and the NEA is among the largest lobbying powers in the country. The NEA actually admits that schools are the vehicle for social change (what about education??) Reading through the quote from the NEA newsletter included in the broadcast reads like the story from Pictures of the Socialistic Future in which parent's cede all responsibilities for their children to the State.
