Dear Colleague:
I offered an amendment establishing on oil import ceiling to the National Defense Authorization bill because we are now forced to make military commitments in the Middle East at great risk and expense to the American people. We find ourselves in this position largely because of the absence of a workable and effective energy policy. my amendment does not say what our energy policy should be, but directs that we have one placed before Congress for consideration. My amendment was adopted unanimously with the bipartisan support of sixteen cosponsors and is the only legislation passed by either body to address our current dangerous dependence on Middle East oil.
As we consider measures to address the growing budget deficit, we cannot ignore the impact of foreign oil on our economy. At $35 per barrel, a price we have now exceeded, oil imports cost the U.S. more than $300 million a day/ That adds up to $110 billion a year and over one-half of our trade deficit. Energy conserved and produced at home, "made in America". could go a long way toward stimulating our economy and making our job of reducing the budget deficit much easier. By directing the President to put an energy policy before Congress when we are importing more than 50% of our oil. my amendment is an important step toward reducing our trade and budget deficits.
A recent letter by Senator Bob Graham encourages Defense Authorization Senate conferees to delete my amendment. Based of the rationale states with hi request it appears he has misunderstood both my amendment and my intent in offering it. The letter states that "this amendment would allow oil and gas leasing in wilderness areas and other environmentally sensitive areas now protected from intrusion..." My amendment is not intended to open wilderness to oil and gas development. It is process oriented and does not give the President authority to make substantive changes in the laws and regulations related to energy or environmental policy.
The letter to the conferees also calls for a national energy policy, and one that would include energy conservation. I agree that our Nation needs a comprehensive energy policy. My amendment is in fact, an important component of a national energy strategy because it requires the President to put an energy policy squarely before Congress for consideration. The focus of this energy policy would be
(Page 3)
October 2, 1990
Page 2
to reduce U.S. oil imports in times when they reach a level that threatens national security. Let's solve our energy problems at home, not in the Persian Gulf.
Secretary of Energy Admiral Watkins recently testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that my amendment "is very consistent" with the President's forthcoming national energy strategy. It provides a means of implementing an energy strategy by requiring the President and the Congress to make important decisions to reduce our dependence on foreign oil imports. This gives the national energy strategy teeth by forcing its consideration.
Further, if U.S. oil imports consistently exceed 50%, my amendment requires the President to make recommendations to Congress to reduce oil imports. The President should consider all available measures including both energy conservation and production. Conservation measures are specifically identified because, like domestic energy production, they are critical to reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
As one measure to increase domestic energy production, the President is required to recommend to Congress a prioritized schedule for leasing federal land tracts in order of their oil and gas potential. All federal lands, except National Park lands, are to be considered. The leasing schedule, like the plan, is fully debatable and amendable. Congress must approve the plan before it can be implemented. The jurisdiction of all congressional committees is preserved. My amendment is simply a recognition that sound military planning requires timely energy security planning. The purpose of my amendment is to force the President and the Congress to make the hard, but important decisions necessary to reduce our dependence on imported oil at a time when those imports threaten our national security.
I ask that you urge our colleagues in the Department of Defense Authorization conference to support my amendment in conference. Each day we are reminded of the perils of our excessive dependence on imported oil as American men and women stand ready in Saudi Arabia to defend our national oil addiction.
Sincerely,
Frank M. Murkowski

United States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510-4101
August, 1990
Dear Friend:
America is rich in many resources. One of its most valuable resources is its senior citizens. I rely heavily on the insight and advice I receive from seniors.
During my frequent visits with the senior citizens of South Dakota, I have found that some are not aware of the many programs available to them. Therefore, I offer this "Fact Book for Senior Citizens" to promote better understanding of the various assistance programs available to older Americans.
We owe much to older Americans. I'm committed to finding ways to repay our large debt to the people who have built our country, helped fight two world wars, raised families, and made significant contributions to their communities.
Every year since coming to Congress in 1975 I have hosted a Senior Citizens Seminar and sponsored a Senior Citizen Intern to serve in Washington. My 1990 Senior Intern, Fern Stringham, is pictured with me on the cover of this booklet.
I hope you will find this information helpful. Many additional programs are provided by state and local governments as well as private organizations. For more information regarding the programs in this booklet or any other programs, please contact one of my offices or call my toll free number 1-800-952-3591
Sincerely,
Larry
Larry Pressler
United States Senator

Income Maintenance
Supplemental Security Income Program
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a program that helps elderly, blind and disabled people. SSI sets a minimum monthly income level and pays the difference between other income sources such as Social Security, VA benefits and other pensions. For example, if the monthly income maintenance level is set at $350.00 and a person receives $200.00 in Social Security benefits, SSI would pay $150.00 to equal the $350.00 income level. A person may have limited assets and still qualify to receive SSI payments. People receiving SSI can also earn limited amounts. People who receive SSI also receives Medicaid benefits to help pay for medicine as well as doctor and hospital bills. SSI recipients can probably qualify for food stamps, heating rebates, low income housing and other benefits too. For more information, call 1-800-234-5772.
Spousal Impoverishment Provision
This Medicaid program protects the income of the partner of an individual requiring long term care. After an individual has been placed in a nursing home, the State would be required to allow the spouse living in the community to receive a specified amount of income each month.

Retirement Programs
Social Security
Social Security pays monthly cash benefits to insured workers and their dependents or survivors. Social Security protects against the loss of a worker's income due to death, disability or retirement.
Individuals are eligible for retirement benefits if they have attained "insured status". To acquire insured status, an individual must have contributed to Social Security for a minimum number of quarters (three-month work periods). The necessary number of quarters varies with the individual's birth date, but 40 quarters (10 years) is the maximum required.
The amount of benefits may be modified by a "retirement test" or earnings limitation if the individual earns outside income in addition to Social Security benefits. However, benefits are not reduced for those age 70 and over. In addition, workers who currently delay retirement past age 65 receive an additional increase in benefits for each year worked up to age 70.
Before you can begin receiving Social Security, you must file an application. When filing your application, you will need to bring your birth certificate and military records, if you served in the military prior to 1956. Processing
11.
(Page 18)
generally takes two or three months, so applications should be made three months prior to your retirement date.
The Social Security Administration can provide you with replacement Social Security cards, copies of your Social Security record, and a copy of your application at no cost. You may obtain a free copy of your earnings record from Social Security, by completing form 7004, "Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement" at your local Social Security office.
If you have questions, please contact your nearest Social Security office. For information on the office nearest you, call toll-free 1-800-234-5772.
Direct Deposit for Retirement Benefits
Direct monthly deposit into a bank account is a service available through your local financial institutions, the federal government and some private agencies. Direct deposit makes funds available the day of payment. It also reduces the risk of loss, theft or misplacement of benefit checks. To begin direct deposit, or for answers to questions relating to this service, contact the agency issuing your benefit check or your local financial institution.
Civil Service Retirement
This is the principal retirement system for most federal civilian employees. It provides monthly retirement or disability benefits based on past earnings and length of service. For information about your records, contact the following with your request:
