LUNGREN HONORS PEOPLE'S WILL -- SOMETIMES

Editor -- From the proud heritage of California Republicans (Nixon, Reagan,
Dornan, Wilson) now comes Dan Lungren. Mr. Lungren is outspoken in his glee
that the U.S. Supreme Court has overruled California authority in setting
the execution for Thomas Thompson. But when it comes to having the federal
government respect the wishes of California voters to implement Proposition
215, he is doing all he can to deny the mandate granted by these voters, and
insists that federal law must prevail.

Mr. Lungren's proclivity toward willful interpretation of the law does not
bode well for the people of California, should he become governor.
