                <text>Black and white photograph of John Morrison, coach of the Casper College men's basketball team from 1989 to 1993. According to an Athletics Staff description from a 1990 Casper College athletics program  for Thunderbird basketball, "Morrison is no stranger to Region IX basketball. A native of Scobey, Montana, Morrison attended Dawson college and Northern Montana College, where he was honorable mention All-America in 1971. He went on to play professional basketball in Holland and Austria. In 1974, Morrison was Most Valuable Player against the national Hungarian and Romanian teams. Prior to accepting the Casper College post, Morrison was an assistant coach at Northern Montana and Billings West High School. He then spent eight years at Dawson college as head coach. His teams at Dawson were Mon-Dak conference champions six times, and qualified for the Region IX tournament all but two of those years. Morrison coached one year at Dakota Wesleyan before coming to Casper. During his career, his teams are 155-127 (not including this season). John has a wife, Wanda, and three children, Brandie, Sara and Adam." </text>

WASHINGTON, DC 20510

December 22, 1986

Dear Editor:

As 1986 draws to a close and we look forward to the
awesome challenges of 1987, I would like to take a moment to
review with you — and others on our "media mailing list" —
my legislative activities of the past and attempt to focus on
the challenges before us in the coming year. An "end of the
year" re-cap if you will.
I enclose, for your review, a document which outlines my
Senate activities — and specifically those that directly
affect the people of Wyoming — the people who "hired me
on." I would appreciate your taking a few minutes to review
this document and to offer any comments or recommendations
you might care to share. Because Wyoming’s economy is
currently in such dire straits, I believe it is most
important that those of us in the Wyoming congressional
delegation build thoughtfully on the legislative base we have
already established in an effort to address those matters
that have presented us with problems in the recent past —
issue by issue, point by point.
I have been afforded a great honor and singular
privilege — serving the people of Wyoming as their U.S.
Senator — and although there are so many tough national and
international issues with which we must deal, I continue to
always believe that my primary efforts must be directed
toward those matters that most directly affect the people I
represent and serve. That will be, and has always been, my
chief goal in public office.
I look forward to a continuing fine working relationship
with you in 1987. Ann would join me in expressing our
personal regards and warmest holiday greetings.

United States Senator

AKS/dhw

�EFFORTS AND LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES OF SENATOR ALAN K. SIMPSON
FOR THE STATE OF WYOMING

I do always appreciate hearing the sincere comments
about the very tough economic conditions we are experiencing

in Wyoming — there can be no question what ever that the
state has indeed suffered some rough blows, and is now

seriously distressed.

Believe me, I do hear just exactly

what a number of folks have been saying — and what so many
other of my fine constituents have written to share with me.
I aiD listening carefully — and acting too. Please know that

- I am doing~everything in my power to-speed tho return of a

robust and healthy eponomy to our state.

It is certainly not my .Intention to just sit by and
watch this situation continue to develop — or deepen.
Rather, I have been an active and determined participant in a

host of efforts to try to turn the situation around in
Wyoming and I will continue to consider those efforts as
being my top priority as I serve as a member of your

congressional delegation.

There are several major fronts in the battle to achieve
economic stability in Wyoming.

They include; returning our

energy industry, especially oil and gas, to a condition of
health and prosperity — which will ajso benefit virtually

�2

every element of our economy, as it has for nearly all the

history of Wyoming; helping to preserve our stricken
agriculture industry through a broad based re-alignment of

some very expensive and ineffective federal support programs;

aiding our cities and towns through established programs to

help to achieve economic stability; working to promote

domestic and international trade for Wyoming products; a

continuing effort to address various wildlife management
issues; responding to the proportionately large number of
Wyomingites currently or formerly serving in the military,
with an eye toward cutting waste and fraud in our defense

establishment without weakening our nation’s defense needs;

the need to live up to our commitment to the nation’s most

deserving veterans, taking into account the surprisingly
large veteran population in Wyoming, and without spending

beyond the scope of that substantial national commitment.
The Wyoming congressional delegation has been working hard to

responsibly carry out our responsibilities in all of these
areas — and many others — and we have already seen some

positive and encouraging results.

Let me share with you a number of specific items that I
have been working on with particular enthusiasm —

personally, administratively and legislatively.

We have all seen or experienced first-hand the painful
times facing the nation's energy industry.

Nowhere are those

difficulties — many of which are generated by forces beyond
our nation’s borders — more evident than they are in

�3

Wyoming.

Malcolm Wallop, Dick Cheney and I worked closely

with the Secretary of the Interior, Don Model, to provide for

the ’’shutting in” of both marginal and large wells on federal
land, rather than requiring plugging and abandonment.

I was

central in the effort to successfully conclude settlement of

the massive oil overcharge litigation — also known as the

’’oil entitlement” cases.

And I joined with a number of other

senators in urging the President to approve the global
settlement offer in that litigation, which involved millions

of dollars in oil overcharge cases.

Indeed, settlement of

this litigation has now been approved by the judge and has

put an end to the massive legal fees that have piled up.
This approval has been fully supported by many oil industry
representatives.

In fact. President Reagan accepted our

- advice ,and-,directed the Office of Management and Budget to

approve the proposed settlement, creating the possibility of
a final settlement.

This is real progress and has a bearing

on Wyoming’s economy.

I am an original cosponsor of the ’’Oil and Gas

Production Revitalization. Act” — which was recently
introduced in the Senate.

This is important legislation for

the State of Wyoming since it contains many important
provisions which should assist the oil and gas industry

greatly.

It covers all the bases.

The bill calls for such

important provisions as (1) repeal of the Windfall Profits
Act, (2) an analysis of the economic and national security

impact of current restrictions on the export of oil field
equipment and drilling technology,

(3) a requirement that 50

�4

percent of the purchases for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

be from domestic sources, (4) an assessment of the economic

and security impact of petroleum imports, (5) important
natural gas provisions such as the prohibition of

differential treatment in rate design and the repeal of the

demand restraints of the Fuel Use Act, (6) a repeal of the
incremental pricing requirements of the Natural Gas Act, and

(7) an important array of regulatory reform provisions

involving waste requirements, underground tanks, land
treatment sites, industry accounting methods and similar

provisions.

Unlike legislation which I have recently

cosponsored, this particular bill does not contain a

provision calling for an oil import fee.

We shall have to

deal with that separately since the President is clearly
opposed to oil import fees and thus it makes sense to "double
track" these two pieces of legislation.

I have made an

extensive effort to bring the provisions of this legislation

to the attention of professionals involved in the energy

industry, in order that I might have their full and complete
reaction to this very important bill.

Additionally, on the subject of energy research and

development, you should know that I worked diligently to
ensure that the Western Research Institute in Laramie,

Wyoming, would receive funding even after this important
research facility was "de-federalized."

The funding I helped

to provide for the Institute will allow this important
facility to seek private financing in the future.

This is

certainly not a "pork barrel" project — it will keep an

�5

important research operation in Wyoming, which will in turn,
provide important secondary economic benefits within our
borders.

I have also been especially involved in legislative
proposals directed at improving the economic environment for
the energy industry.

I cosponsored separate Senate

legislation to repeal the windfall profit tax, which
effectively placed the greatest corporate .excise tax of any

U.S. industry on the oil and gas industry.

The Sennte did,

in fact, adopt our repeal of the windfall profit tax on July
31, 1986, as part of the debt limit extenpipn IjegjLslj^tion,

which has not yet received full and final congressional
approval.
T-u *. 4., }’

That will occur in May I987.
..I.*’
rx'
"

.-w.

In the area of nuclear energy, I have been actiyely
involved in a. variety of legislative initiatives regarding

Wyoming’s uranium industry.

I cosponsored legislation,

signed into law in early 1983, calling on the President to
prepare and submit to Congress a comprehensive report on the

status of the domestic uranium mining and ipilling industry.
In that same legislation, we required the Department of
Energy to establish standards for assessing the ’’viability”

of the domestic uranium industry and to submit an annual

report to Congress on the health of the industry — a
provision that was essential for the purpose of focusing the

attention of the Department on the most unfortunate condition
of our uranium industry.

�6

This legislation led to a finding by the Department of
Energy in 1985 that our uranium industry was, indeed, no

longer ’’viable” ( a word which I have come to dislike in the

first place!).

This was the statutory standard that, in

turn, required the Department of Energy to take steps to

address the problem.

In addition to the steps announced by

the Department, I have cosponsored a comprehensive

legislative initiative, currently pending before the full
Senate, to address the problems now facing our uranium

industry and to restore this most important industry to a

healthy and competitive condition.

This legislation — the

’’Uranium Revitalization and Tailings Reclamation Act of 1986”

— includes an important provision addressing the
ever-increasing amounts of foreign uranium being used by

utilities who operate nuclear reactors.

In addition, the

bill would establish a comprehensive financing program for
the cleanup and stabilization of the uranium mill tailings

piles.

In addition to those issues, I have been active in my
capacity as chairman of the Subcommittee on Nuclear
Regulation of the Committee on Environment and Public Works

in a number of Initiatives to ensure that federal regulation
of Wyoming’s uranium industry is balanced, reasonable, and
sensitive to the interests of the state, the citizens of
Wyoming, and the individual companies being regulated.

In

that regard, I was successful in convincing the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission that its office in charge of regulating

Wyoming’s uranium industry should be relocated from

�7
Washington, D.C. to Denver, Colorado, in order to be more

easily accessible by the various interests in Wyoming — both
governmental and private.

By all accounts, the communication

has improved and the NEC now has a much finer understanding
of the very unique problems facing our uranium producers.

In 1982, when the federal agencies in charge of

establishing ’•eldanup standards*’ were engaged in a hopeless

’’turf struggle” over who should regulate uranium producers, I

cospdnsbred legislation to sort out the conflict and to get

the standards-setting process back on track.

And I have been

very vigilant in the effort to ensure that adequate funding

is available for cleanup of the inactive mill tailings site

at Riverton, as well as in the vicinity properties where
tailings have been found.

In 1985, I sponsored legislation to approve Wyoming’s

participation in the Rocky Mountain Low-level Radioactive
Waste Compact — thereby enabling Wyoming and three other

states to move forward with the development of a regional
disposal facility to handle low=-level radioactive waste
generated in the state and region.

I also cosponsored legislation calling for the further

production of oil in order to fill the Strategic Petroleum
Reserves.

The oil to be used for this purpose would come

from marginal production wells (mostly ” stripper” wells) and

would be paid through a selective oil import duty designed

specifically for this purpose.

The President subsequently

�8
approved a storage increase of approximately 250 million

barrels.

In a related area, I supported the Trade Adjustment

Assistance (TAA) initiative for unemployed energy industry
workers — of which there are plenty in Wyoming.

In fact, I

cosponsored that measure, which passed the Senate on a vote
of 55 to 40.

I have not always supported the TAA program —

and in these times of fiscal austerity I might well vote in

favor of future restrictions — or even eventual termination

of the program.

However, for as long as such a program

exists, I do believe that energy related companies and their
fine employees that have been hurt by foreign oil imports

should be allowed to receive benefits under the Trade
Adjustment Assistance program.

It is unfortunate that this

provision was deleted from the final version of the
Supplemental Appropriations bill, but we’ll keep at it!

The agriculture industry in Wyoming -- another

traditional and important element of our state economy — has
also been terribly hard hit in recent years.

I have met

personally with President Reagan, and with other involved
policy-makers, to request extension of the grazing fee

formula for public grazing land leases.

The President did

indeed sign an Executive Order extending the formula which

would have expired on December 31, 1986.

This will aid

stockgrowers who hold public grazing leases, and it will give

Congress the time it needs to permanently extend the grazing

fee formula.

�9
As for other legislative issues involving agriculture, I

supported the extension of the Wool Act for another five
years — through the marketing year 1991.

I also worked for

an extension of sugar price supports for five years, and I

urged protection for sugar beet growers in the case of
bankruptcy of sugar processors.

These are key industries in

Wyoming.

I have also been active in a variety of issues that

directly involve Wyoming commerce.

In an effort to make

Wyoming cities more aware of available economic development
assistance, Malcolm and I sent letters to the mayors of all

Wyoming cities and towns, advising them of the opportunity to

apply — under existing programs, such as Urban Development

Action Grants — for funds already appropriated for fiscal
year 1986.

I repeatedly protested all proposals to eliminate

vital rail service to Wyoming communities — both passenger
and freight service.

In order to foster a more favorable

trade situation for Wyoming, I hosted a Chinese trade
delegation which visited Wyoming to discuss various ways to
encouragd^ and investigate possible business opportunities in

Wyoming and China and ways to boost our agriculture and

mining products.

I also joined in our congressional

delegation’s efforts to encourage the Japanese to open up
their domestic markets for Wyoming beef, steam coal, soda ash

and grain.

I worked hard to encourage the Republic of South

Korea to increase soda ash imports and other products
produced in Wyoming.

In fact, in May of 1986, South Korea

agreed to increase soda ash imports.

�10

Finally, I supported and encouraged the signing of an
agreement with the Taiwan Power Company for the purpose of

uranium exploration and development in the United States — a
’’first of its kind” agreement that should open the doors to
international interest and participation in activities such

as this in Wyoming.

Most recently, the delegation cosponsored a federal

procurement conference in Casper, which brought many Wyoming

business leaders into personal contact with a broad range of
government agency representatives.

The conference was

designed to assist Wyoming businesses in their dealings with
the government — with particular emphasis on bidding for
federal contracts for services or goods.

We found that many

individuals had missed important and legitimate business

opportunities simply because they were intimidated by the
complexities of dealing with the federal government.

We

helped to open those doors.

o
Here in the Senate, I have worked for passage of
legislation to increase and standardize the weight loads

which truckers can haul on Wyoming’s interstate highways.
This will permit truckers in our state to compete with those

in other states, allowing them to haul commodities less
expensively — something that is so important to all business

throughout Wyoming.

I also joined Senator Wallop in

cosponsoring legislation to repeal the onerous IRS
"simultaneous recordkeeping” requirement which was so

�11
troublesome to ranchers, farmers and just about anyone in any

business who used an automobile.

The IRS will be issuing yet

another set of regulations at the end of the year.

We will

continue to fight that battle to keep the IRS red-tape under
proper control.

Another most serious matter is the necessary repair of
Fontenelle Dam.

On May 1, 1986, I joined with Malcolm and

Dick in writing to the U.S. Department of the Interior,

Bureau of Reclamation.

In that letter we stated our support

for an interpretation of the Reclamation Safety of Dams Act,

which would call for the repair of Fontenelle Dam — with the

great majority of the financing to be paid by the Federal
Government.

The Bureau of Reclamation concluded that our

interpretation of the Safety of Dams Act was indeed correct.

We subsequently met with the Secretary of the Interior, the

Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Water and Science,

the Commissioner of Reclamation, and the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget.

As a result of our efforts,

the 0MB agreed that the Federal Government should bear the
majority of the cost of repair.

The Bureau of Reclamation

has recently advised me that the Bureau has received all of
the necessary approvals for carrying out the repair work of
the dam.

That work will now continue beyond the testing

phase to complete repair.

Wildlife issues have always been of great interest and
concern to Wyomingites — and for good reason.

I do work

diligently to see that those Wyoming interests are not

�12
overlooked here in Washington.

I actively supported Malcolm

in his efforts with the Wallop/Breaux legislation to provide

funds for fisheries restoration, and for other fisheries
programs through an excise tax on sporting goods.

I asked

that appropriated funds be earmarked for a ferret breeding
facility in Wyoming.

With the starvation of ”sub-adult” elk

in mind, I helped to secure funding for a new feeder trailer
for the elk refuge in Jackson Hole, which will allow more

rapid feeding of elk during severe winter storms.

On a

similar front, I assisted in the earmarking of money to allow

the Department of the Interior to purchase ”in-holdings”
within the National Elk Refuge in Jackson.

And I worked to

influence the Forest Service to install acid rain monitors to
conduct acid rain studies in the Wind River Mountains of

Wyoming in order to protect our pristine high mountain
lakes.

Military and veterans issues are of substantial concern

in our state, with its proportionately large population of
citizens currently serving, or having served, in the

military.

These are issues of very special concern and

personal interest to me, as the ranking majority member of

the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee — and as a veteran
and a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion
and AMVETS.

You should know that we worked hard to ensure

that the MX missile — with all of its associated deployment
and environmental impacts — will be adequately funded, and

that "mitigation agreements" with Wyoming ranchers and

communities are equitable.

I also acted to ensure that

�13
' funding will be available for a new National Guard Armory in

Douglas, Wyoming, since the old armory was recently condemned
and is unusable.

New construction means jobs.

On behalf of

the Cheyenne VA Medical Center, Malcolm, Dick and I have
written letters to the Veterans Administration requesting

that it reconsider its decision to award the $14 million
contract for a clinical addition to a Utah "minority firm"

without first going through the "normal" bidding process.
The contractor has indicated that it will award a minimum of

20 percent of the work to Wyoming firms.

As for the Sheridan

VA Medical Center, we have joined forces to protest a
Veterans Administration move to eliminate or scale-down a

proposed $10.4 million outpatient addition.

Finally, I was

^strumental in helping to obtain, the federal matching fund

grant of $787,938 for construction of an entrance road and
bridge for the Oregon Trail Veterans Cemetery.

These are only a very few of some issues directly
affecting Wyoming that I involve myself with on a continual

basis.

There are many, many others.

In addition, the vast

majority of the truly national and international issues also

affect Wyoming, and I invest a great deal of time on those.

But my first responsibility is service to, and the
representation of,

the good people of Wyoming.

legislative — are already in the works, I do not think for a

begun.

Just know that I am working my fanny off — here in the
Senate and right there in the state.

I travel to Wyoming

25-30 times a year in order to meet with groups and
individuals, learning "first-hand” as to which issues and
problems are of the most concern to them.

I hold "town

meetings" throughout Wyoming -- and I take many pages of
notes, acting on that information on my return to
Washington.

I try to respond to every single person who

writes to me — although it sometimes takes me and my fine
staff a while to fully research each question and prepare a

proper response.

And I do my very level best to visit

personally with every Wyomingite who visits my Washington

office, whether or not they have made an appointment.

When I was granted the honor and privilege of

representing the people of Wyoming as your U.S. Senator, I

made but a single promise — to work my duff off; and to hope

to make you proud.

I am doing my flat-out best to do just

that.

Wyoming's economy is in difficult straits.

It is the time for all of us — as citizens

of Wyoming and each within our own sphere of responsibility

— to launch head-long into the solutions.

I have been

trying to do just that — and I will continue to be hard at
it, for what I believe to be in your best interests too.

To

do that most effectively I need your continued advice,

counsel and guidance.

Your comments, requests and

observations assist me so very much in helping me to assist

you.

Please contact me whenever I may be of any specific and
proper assistance.

                <text>The Casper Star-Tribune gifted 20 years of photographic negatives and prints and many corresponding files and article scans to Casper College early in the year 2000 according to a newspaper article on the donation. The vertical files have been managed by the Casper College Archives and Special Collections housed in its Western History Center. The repository started the process of arranging and describing these files at the series level in January of 2024.</text>
