>     Sinister Oregon Plan Underway To Control Children & Families
>
>     by Paul Richmond

>
>     Imagine this: A cabal of powerful business owners is after America's
>     children. They want to train them to be mindless employees in their
>     massive corporations. The power brokers have recruited influential
>     politicians to turn the public school system into nothing more than a
>     training ground for future employees. The politicians also want to
>     break up families that aren't willing to toe the corporate line.
>
>     It sounds like an episode of the "X-Files" or the plot of a cheap
>     science fiction paperback, but this is not fiction. It's already
>     happened in Oregon. The outlandish-sounding scheme culminated on
>     December 5, 1994. That's when a document called "The Oregon
>     Option" was signed by the entire Clinton Cabinet, all members of the
>     Oregon Congressional delegation, outgoing Oregon Governor
>     Barbara Roberts, incoming Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber,
>     Portland Mayor Vera Katz, Multnomah County Commission Chair
>     Beverly Stein, Gresham Mayor Gussie McRobert, and others.
>
>     At the time of the signing, Vice President Al Gore said "The Oregon
>     Option" would turn the state into a "laboratory." The agreement
>     describes the research field as "childhood health, family stability and
>     workforce development."
>
>     To the casual observer, this language may sound like just so much
>     meaningless nonsense---the kind of feel-good rhetoric found in so
>     many governmental documents that are merely collecting dust on the
>     shelf these days. But, in the case of "The Oregon Option," nothing
>     could be further from the truth. This plan actually combines a 
>     series of obscure but significant plans created by some of the
>     region's---indeed, the nation's---most powerful politicians and
>     business executives. They are a group which has interacted with one
>     another for years, usually outside the glare of public scrutiny.
>
>     These are not the sort of people who spend their time working on
>     meaningless projects. Through the arrangements now combined in
>     "The Oregon Option," these power brokers have readjusted the very
>     structure of 20th Century American society around their own needs.
>     What is being created by The Oregon Option is nothing less than a
>     government run entirely for the benefit of its largest banks, utilities
>     and other major corporations. The aim is the creation of generations
>     of completely docile, corporate trained citizens. It will accomplish
>     this through a life time of government intervention and manipulation
>     in the education and rearing of all children.
>
>     Under the programs encompassed in "The Oregon Option," the
>     government will set up databases on every child conceived. It will
>     use home visits to evaluate the parents to see if they fit the corporate
>     standards. It will have the ability to monitor and break apart families.
>     Parents will go through parenting classes which will fill them with
>     corporate sanctioned psycho-babble and rhetoric. Failure to abide
>     by the conditions of this program will be called "developmental
>     neglect"---grounds for the government to remove the child from the
>     family.
>
>     Children will be subjected to an education system which will
>     emphasize their mediocrity. At school, in a manner frighteningly
>     reminiscent of Nazi Germany's Hitler Youth, they will be encouraged
>     to report all suspicious behavior of friends, neighbors, siblings, or
>     classmates to a properly sanctioned authority of the corporate state.
>     In the end, Oregonians will be no more than cogs in the corporate
>     machine.
>
>     "The Oregon Option" is the result of more than a decade of careful
>     planning by some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in
>     not only Oregon, but the entire nation. Based on work begun under
>     the administrations of former Oregon governors Mark Hatfield and
>     Neil Goldschmidt, it has been pushed by some of the state's best
>     known political figures, including former Portland Mayor and Oregon
>     Governor Neil Goldschmidt. At the core of "The Oregon Option" is
>     "The Oregon Strategic Plan," a landmark document drafted and
>     implemented under the direction of former Governor Goldschmidt.
>
>     Written in 1988, "The Oregon Strategic Plan" is perhaps the ultimate
>     example of "trickle-down economics." It restructures the entire needs
>     of everyone in the state around those of its largest corporations.
>     Under the plan, large corporations get tax breaks called "reverse
>     investment." Workers compensation settlements are seen as a
>     disadvantage to attracting large businesses and thus reduced. The
>     education system is restructured to guarantee an adequate
>     work-force for these corporations---though no provisions are made
>     to guarantee jobs for all residents. The per capita income of Oregon
>     residents is raised not by raising the earned income of current
>     residents, but by importing "skilled professionals" who will gentrify
>     Oregon and force the current residents out.
>
>     Looked upon by Willamette Week and the rest of the official
>     alternative press as the consummate "visionary" leader, Goldschmidt
>     is, according to "American Politics," a member of the Trilateral
>     Commission---a group of the powerful business and political leaders
>     that grew out of efforts by the world's wealthiest families (the
>     Morgans, the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, etc.) to extend the power
>     of their mega-monopolies (U.S. Steel, General Motors, Standard Oil,
>     Chase Bank, etc.). They formed think tanks to redesign public
>     policies to their own benefit, then convinced elected officials to
>     adopt these self-serving plans.
>
>     That's the pattern Goldschmidt followed in preparing "The Oregon
>     Strategic Plan." It was drafted by an ad hoc think tank comprised of
>     representatives of the state's dominant economic interests, including
>     Portland General Electric (PGE), Pacific Power and Light (PP&L),
>     Northwest Natural Gas, First Interstate Bank, Weyerhaueser, and a
>     few other members of the Portland Metropolitan Chamber of
>     Commerce and the Oregon Business Council. Goldschmidt had
>     received substantial campaign contributions from this same group of
>     corporations, and was later retained as a highly-paid lobbyist by
>     many of them. This is typical of today's revolving door between
>     business and government. Overseeing the policy's development was
>     Richard Reiten, then director of the Oregon Economic Development
>     Department (OEDD).
>
>     After he left OEDD, Reiten was named president of PGE.
>     Significantly, one of Reiten's last acts in his role as OEDD Chair
>     was to move all Oregon state government offices dealing with
>     international affairs into the World Trade Center, a downtown
>     Portland building owned by PGE. The actual drafting of the plan was
>     done by Duncan Wyse, then a policy manager with the Oregon
>     Office of Economic Development. Wyse then became the director of
>     the Oregon Progress Board, a body created by "The Oregon
>     Strategic Plan" to monitor its implementation.
>
>     In 1995, Wyse left state government to become president of the
>     Oregon Business Council (OBC), an influential private organization
>     made up of the largest businesses in the state. The group which
>     directed the development of "The Oregon Strategic Plan" included
>     such heavy hitters as John Gray and Don Frisbee, two
>     well-established Portland businessmen who have served on the
>     boards of a half dozen major corporations, including Weyerhaueser
>     and First Interstate Bank. They also served on Governor John
>     Kitzhaber's Transition Team, and are currently members of the
>     Oregon Progress Board.
>
>     Whenever a group of people meets among themselves, the decisions
>     they come up with will only reflect the needs of those who had a
>     voice in the process. So it's not surprising that "The Oregon Strategic
>     Plan" meets the needs of large corporate interests, not the general
>     population of the state. For example, the plan sees protections 
>     such as workers compensation and unemployment benefits as
>     impediments to "competitiveness." Strategies are designed to
>     eliminate them.
>
>     Similarly, talk of raising per capita incomes is not centered around
>     improving the shrinking earning capacity of people already in
>     Oregon---it is centered on bringing people into the state with higher
>     incomes. Obviously, this will not fill the needs of those in Oregon
>     who no longer have jobs. It will, however, provide a steady client/
>     consumer base for those branches of business and government who
>     drafted the plan. These few examples portray the central premise of
>     "The Oregon Strategic Plan"---readjusting the lives of all Oregonians
>     to the needs of the state's largest businesses.
>
>     IF YOU LIKE SCHOOL, YOU'LL LOVE WORK
>
>     Readjusting the lives of Oregonians around corporations is not an
>     easy task. It requires allowing the corporation's direct access to
>     coming generations. This was accomplished in 1991 when the
>     Oregon Legislature passed HB 3565---the "Oregon 21st Century
>     Education Act," sponsored by then-Oregon House Speaker Vera
>     Katz. Now Mayor of Portland, Katz admits that this law has origins
>     in research which began a decade earlier. The research Katz is
>     referring to is not that of a local Oregon government body---it is
>     the work of a highly influential private group called the National
>     Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE).
>
>     To call this group "influential" is understatement. Its membership in
>     recent years has included members of the cabinets of the last seven
>     U.S. Presidents. It's also included the chairs of the Democratic and
>     Republican political parties. Representatives from the business
>     community have included high ranking executives from such massive
>     firms as IBM and Apple, Chevron and Exxon, and Coke and Pepsi.
>     Despite the nominal hostility of some of these parings, through the
>     NCEE they became united as one in their redesign of the U.S.
>     education system.
>
>     In the center of this conglomeration of corporate and political power
>     is David Rockefeller, the wealthiest member of one of the world's
>     wealthiest and most powerful families. Rockefeller's family network
>     had executive officers, or owned controlling interest, in most of the
>     non-profit foundations and private corporations represented at the
>     NCEE. In David Rockefeller, we find the personification of the
>     wealthy elite capable of redesigning the policies of government for
>     their own benefit. His mere presence on this board meant that its
>     findings would be taken seriously.
>
>     Less ominous at the time than Rockefeller's presence on these panels
>     were those of relatively obscure regional politicians and advisors who
>     would later rise to greater prominence. These included the wife of
>     the governor of the second poorest state in the union, Hillary
>     Rodham Clinton, and the Speaker of the House of the backwaters
>     state of Oregon, Vera Katz. In 1994 Katz would become the only
>     elected official to be appointed to President Bill Clinton's National
>     Skills Standards Board---a body which oversaw the development of
>     Clinton's national plan for Outcome Based Education, Goals 2000.
>
>     A number of people who are currently among Clinton's closest
>     advisors were also involved in the process. One was Ira Magaziner,
>     chair of the NCEE's Commission on the Skills of the American
>     Workforce, and a private consultant on international corporate
>     strategies for business and government. Another was Marc Tucker,
>     president of the NCEE and executive director of the Carnegie Forum
>     on education and the Economy. Also involved was Laura Tyson, a
>     member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a consultant to the
>     World Bank and the Rand Corporation. The recommendations of the
>     NCEE were formally endorsed by the National Governors'
>     Association at its annual 1986 convention. Five governors began
>     implementing these recommendations in their states. They include
>     Lamar Alexander, the then-Governor of Tennessee (Al Gore's home
>     state) who became Secretary of Education under President George
>     Bush, and who is now a candidate for the U.S. Presidency; Richard
>     Riley, the then-Governor of South Carolina, who became Secretary
>     of Education under President Bill Clinton; and Bill Clinton, the
>     then-Governor of Arkansas. These states, all with small populations,
>     all with poor economies, were to serve as trials for this policy
>     before it was to be implemented nationally.
>
>     A similar indicator of the importance of this law to the power brokers
>     is visible here in Oregon. The Katz aide most involved in the passage
>     of her education act was Phil Keisling. Following his work on the
>     education act, Keisling was elected to the Oregon House, appointed
>     to the office of Secretary of State by former Governor Barbara
>     Roberts, and then re-elected to that office. The mainstream and
>     official alternative news media repeatedly touts Keisling as a future
>     Oregon Governor and/or U.S. Senator.
>
>     The fundamentals of Outcome Based Education are based on the
>     notion of creating a generation of ideal workers. Education,
>     according to the rhetoric of OBE proponents, exists simply to help
>     people find jobs. Consequently, the OBE curriculum is designed to
>     direct students into specific career tracks at a very young age.
>     This is known as "tracking." Because of the involvement of the the 
>     largest corporations in the writing of this plan, they are the ones who,
>     often at taxpayer expense, design the parameters of what the career
>     tracks entail. The end result is a system which supplies select
>     corporations with their choice of workers, but makes no guarantees 
>     that even a majority of the students will ever.find employment.
>
>     One of the strongest illustrations of this complete domination of the
>     education system by the most powerful corporations is the "model
>     program" at Portland's own David Douglas High School. The David
>     Douglas program claims to set up practical internships where
>     students will receive actual knowledge in their chosen field. The
>     program was designed in what is referred to with a straight face as
>     a "partnership" with the Oregon Business Council---administered by
>     the former administrator for the Oregon Progress Board, Duncan
>     Wyse. While the categories of internships sound utopian, the
>     program's bias is illustrated by where they actually take place.
>     Young aspiring artists are not paired with dancers, painters or
>     composers, but with local utility giant PP&L.
>
>     Students interested in social services are not paired with social
>     scientists or social agencies, but with PGE. Those wishing to work
>     with nature are not paired with botanists, zoologists, or naturalists,
>     but with the Bonneville Power Administration. Those interested in
>     health sciences are not connected with doctors, nurses or even
>     orderlies, but with insurance giants Kaiser and Providence, where
>     they are taught the finer points of paper pushing. Those interested in
>     business are not shown examples of smaller companies that they may
>     themselves start up, but are instead paired with Fred Meyer,
>     preparing them to be low paid service workers.
>
>     These grotesque examples of runaway corporate domination give a
>     flavor of the real work emphasized in Outcome Based Education.
>     There is also, in OBE, in place of academics, an emphasis on "group
>     dynamics." Students are taught to work as a group, and to value the
>     group's opinion, often above their own. This has led to Orwellian
>     consequences. One parent told of a child who would not put down
>     the correct answer to a simple math problem because it contradicted
>     what their group had decided. A child who is taught with this dual
>     emphasis---learning what the corporations tell them to learn and
>     not questioning their peer group---is the ideal corporate drone. This
>     child will, as he or she reaches adulthood, have neither the drive to
>     question their working conditions, or the ambition to start a
>     competitive business.
>
>     Since this is something few informed parents would accept, Katz's
>     education act set up a method of enforcement. Specifically, failure to 
>     achieve satisfactory progress in these corporate dominated academics
>     is defined as a form of abuse. This gives the government grounds to
>     intervene in the lives of any family which isn't going along with the
>     program. Social services thus become the tool of
>     corporate-dominated government to ensure that this new curriculum
>     would be followed. While little is specifically written about the
role of
>     social services in Katz's bill, it was the subject of a package of laws
>     passed by the 1991 Oregon Legislature. Its principle supporters
>     included state representatives John Meek and Lisa Naito, and, to a
>     greater extent, state senators Shirley Gold, Bill McCoy, and,
>     perhaps most prominently, future Multnomah County Commission 
>     Chair Beverly Stein.
>
>     So complete are these controls that State Senator Tom Hartung
>     (R-Portland) even joked about them. Hartung chaired the Senate
>     Education Committee during the 1995 Oregon Legislature. This
>     committee reviewed and slightly revised the "Oregon 21st Century
>     Education Act." During one hearing, Hartung responded to public
>     protests against the heavy-handed provisions of the act by quipping,

>     Under Katz's education plan, if a child were not meeting the new
>     academic standards, there could be evaluations to determine if it is
>     "in the child's best interest" to separate them from their parents.
>     While there might be a faintly altruistic sound to this pretense of
>     "helping" kids from "troubled homes" in school, when these sort of
>     rigid standards of academic success are combined with the
>     corporate-based academics, more rights are given to corporations
>     such as PP&L and PGE than to the actual parents in the raising of
>     the child.
>
>     Among the many laws which Gold, McCoy and Stein introduced into
>     the 1991 Oregon Legislature are these, which the Oregon Progress
>     Board cites as the most important to its mission: SB 701, which
>     creates a "human investment board" to fund demonstration projects;
>     SB 1099, which encourages municipalities to become
>     "demonstration" sites for these projects (The law further calls for
>     these municipalities to have access to a "continuum" of social
>     services---that is, an interlocking web of social service interventions
>     from cradle to grave); and HB 2954, which creates the "Oregon
>     Coordinating Council for Children and Families, the group which
>     will orient Oregon's education and social services around the goals 
>     of The Oregon Progress Board---the direct tie to The Oregon Option.
>
>     After former Multnomah County Chair Gladys McCoy (Senator
>     McCoy's wife) died in office, Stein was elected to replace her by
>     virtue of a heavily financed campaign. Once in office, Stein set up
>     Multnomah County as one of the demonstration sites she had created
>     under SB 701 and SB 1099 while in the Oregon Legislature. She
>     accomplished this through the creation of the Multnomah
>     Commission on Children and Families. Stein's closeness with the
>     work of this commission is symbolized by the fact that she shares a
>     front office and receptionist with them. The powers given to this
>     commission, illustrated in their "benchmarks"---the goals for
>     future progress---are a frightening addition to the sanctions under
>     Outcome Based Education.
>
>     Among other things, the benchmarks greatly expand the role of
>     government in the family. They call for routine visits by government
>     employees to pregnant women (called "home visits"), accompanied
>     by universal drug screening for all expectant and new mothers.
>     Criteria by which a mother may be evaluated as either "incapable"
>     or "at risk" include not having enough income. Conversely, if she is
>     working to provide that income, she may be found "at risk" for not
>     being able to give the child enough time.
>
>     In addition, the benchmarks call for many---if not most---new
>     parents to be enrolled in training classes where they will be force fed
>     the latest psycho-babble on the proper way to raise their children.
>     Failure of parents to implement the techniques they learn on their
>     children is defined as "developmental neglect"---another criteria by
>     which children may be separated from their parent. Children who
>     make it through these hurdles and get to school intact will be brought
>     into regular contact with adults who will screen them for "abuse."
>     These adults will look for every possible type of abuse under a loose
>     assortment of terms including "drugs," "gangs," "sex abuse," and
>     "neglect." In fact, these terms are so loosely defined that the term
>     "other" repeatedly appears as an official category for the detection 
>     of abuse.
>
>     What makes each of these seemingly well intentioned proposals even
>     more dangerous is that each of these "caring adults" who interact
>     with the families will be competing for limited funds. This will in
>     effect transform the social service workers, law enforcement
>     personnel, psychologists, and others into the equivalent of
>     salespeople operating on commission. Each of these "professionals"
>     will be in the dubious position of having to find a certain quantity of
>     "abuse" to justify their next funding cycle. This means that that 
>     they will be encouraged to find "abuse," even where none exists.
>
>     Several recent high-profile legal cases involving allegations of "ritual
>     abuse" show how dangerous this could become. In these cases,
>     parents were arrested and prosecuted after their children told wild
>     tales of molestation, frequently involving large numbers of adults in
>     such unlikely settings as churches and day care centers. Most of the
>     convictions obtained at these trials have been reversed after it was
>     determined that counsellors and others persuaded the
>     children---inadvertently or not---to lie about their experiences.
>     The Multnomah Commission on Children and Families has called 
>     for the creation of what it calls "therapeutic nurseries." Though the
law
>     gives little definition to this term, reports in the Oregonian paint a
>     rosy picture of centers underwritten by corporations such as PGE and
>     PacifiCorp, where "neglected" and "parentless" children will be given
>     "caring" environments through corporate "generosity." If the idea of
>     kids getting raised by corporations sounds far fetched, consider that
>     Stein's proposal refers to such corporations as "partners" in the
>     rearing of children.

>     ROCKEFELLER HISTORY AND INVOLVEMENT
>
>     The Rockefellers are one of the wealthiest, most powerful families in
>     the country. John Rockefeller Sr. founded Standard Oil, one of the
>     largest companies in the world. The Rockefeller family has long had
>     an interest in education, beginning with the creation of the General
>     Education Board in 1903 (which eventually became the Rockefeller
>     Foundation).
>
>     The Rockefellers initially focused their education efforts on the more
>     economically depressed areas of the country, beginning with the
>     South where so many African-Americans lived in poverty. While the
>     essence of this seems commendable, there were ulterior motives.
>     John Rockefeller Sr. and others could place their business holdings
>     in this non-profit organization, evading millions of dollars in taxes
>     while retaining control of their corporations. At the same time, the
>     Rockefeller Foundation has served as a stepping stone to the U.S.
>     Secretary of State's office. Three of the Foundation's
>     presidents---John Foster Dulles, Dean Rusk, and Henry
>     Kissinger---later served as Secretary of State.
>
>     David Rockefeller, one of two surviving grandchildren of John
>     Rockefeller Sr., was influential in starting the National Center for
>     Education and the Economy. At that time, he was also chair of two
>     of the world's most influential think tanks---the Council on Foreign
>     Relations (founded in 1918) and the Trilateral Commission (founded
