Congress race heated
Fields, Buford both predict victory
9
ByBRUCE GUYNN
Both candidates in the hard-
fought and sometimes bitter
campaign for District 8 U.S.
representative are predicting
victory in Tuesday’s election.
Two-term U.S. Rep. Jack
Fields, R-Humble, said his polls
- indicate that he could win re-
election by his largest margin
ever.
But Democratic challenger
Don Buford said he’s going to
win based on the response he has
had from telephone survey and
requests for his campaign yard
signs.
Tuesday’s election will
culminate a spirited campaign
that has frequently been
highlighted by claims and
counterclaims of mudslinging.
Fields has charged that
Buford’s philosophy is too liberal
for the 8th District. Buford,
however, claims that Fields
talks in favor of programs aimed
at helping the working people of
this area, then votes against
these programs in Congress.
Both men have denied the
claims of their opponents. -
Buford believes that the voters
Buford, however, said he sup-
ports a “pay as you go plan” for
easing federal expenditures.
Under this plan, a con-
gressman proposing a project
would have to show some area
where spending can be cut to
support his project.
Both men have said they are
against a tax increase as a
means of reducing the national
debt.
Fields has said this will just
encourage the Congress to spend
more money.
Buford said he favors a na-
tional industrial policy aimed at
creating more taxpayers; not
raising taxes.
On other domestic issues, both
Buford and Fields have said they
support voluntary prayer in
school and oppose gun control.
Fields, however, supports
right-to-life programs while
Buford opposes legislation that
would curtail a woman’s right to
make decisions concerning her W
health.
Fields said he supports the B-l ’
bomber and the MX missile,
while Buford said he opposes
these defense systems
America needs a new bomber ^
to replace the more than 30-year-
old B-52 and this country may
have to accept some B-ls as a ^
precursor to the development of * ^
an even more efficient plane,
Fields indicated.
Buford argued that the Soviets
can detect the approach of the B-
1 and therefore favors the
development of the so-called
“Stealth” bomber.
He also said that the MX mis-
sile is only valuable if “we fire it
first” and the Soviet Union could
interpret its development as
meaning the United States is
planning a first strike. This
could disrupt world stability, ac-
cording to Buford.
Fields said the chances are

have accepted his message and
will elect him to office on Tues-
day.
m
f:
But Fields said voters have
been turned off by Buford’s
“negative campaign” and will
respond by re-electing the in-
cumbent.
Throughout the campaign,
both candidates have said they
support reducing the federal
deficit and creating a strong na-
tional defense, but have propos-
ed different ways Of achieving
these objectives.
Fields supports a constitu-
tional amendment mandating a
balanced budget and a line item
veto for the president.
The latter would give the
president the power to veto
items in the federal budget that
he considers too costly.
