Tropical storm brings 1 st rain of season here

Autumn's first stonn dropped nearly baH an inch of rain on China Lake 8.5 the remnants of tropical stonn Nonnan moved inland across Southern California on Tuesday.

John Gibson, a forecaster at the Armitage Field weather office, said that rainfall measured .42 inch, brin8ing the year's total precipitation to 8.89 inches, more than a full inch higher than the previous armua! record of 7.48 set in 1974.

Nonnan was a full-fledged hurricane on Saturday with wind gusts to 1:11 knota as it .. histled up the _n coast of Baja California. However, once caught in the Dow of cold Alaskan air sli~ across the Pacific coast of the U.S. from the northwest, Norman rapidly degenerated to tropical storm status.

By Wednesday. Norman was only a very weak low pressure area centered over Nevada and not even worthy of note on the day's surface weather chart.

Wind associated with Tuesday's storm blew rain-soaked tree branches onto electric power lines gr~ them and causing short-lived, sporadic, power outages on the Naval Weapons Center.

The steady downpour caused only minor street flooding in Ridgecrest, and the Police Department reported no unusual problems resulting from the stonn.

Temperatures fell along with the rain and Tuesday, the high was only 112 degrees, compared. with Monday's 94. Gibson said that afternoon temperatures will climb s1o .. ly but should stay below oormal for September.

He noted that the weather pattern remains essentially the same as last year and pointed out that a hurricane struck the Southland on Aug. 14 a year ago but with much more rain and higher winds.

Giboon said that the potmtial for hurricane development in the eastern Pacific tropical regions will remain for the next four to six weeks and will then diminish. However, he said that it is ''not likely" that another hurricane will strike Southern California.

Gibson said that temperatures should be slightly abuve normal in November and December and that OIina Lake usually gets its first freezing temperatures of the winter in late November.

What you should know about the I PERSONNE~ RECORDS

Privacy Act Third in. Series

by "'ncy C .... net Privacy Act Coordlutor

In this article I will discuss your responsibilities unde< the Privacy Act as official employees. These responsibiliUes in­clude maintaining necessary personal reconls. knowing 00 whom disclosures of perlIOIlal data may be made. safeguar­ding personal data. disposing of perlIOIlal data. and obeying the Privacy Act rules of conduct. And, to give you a litUe added incentive for paying close attention to this article, remember that the Privacy Act has provided for criminal sanctions against those employees who commit willful and intentimal violations of the Privacy Act.

Secret record systems prohibited As I stated in the last article. one gnal of the Privacy Act is 00

ensure that seaet reconls syaler]ls ( containing persona1 data) are not being kept. According 00 the Privacy Act. it is unlawful 00 maintain syatems of reconls about indivlduala without prl ... annOUJ1C<ment in the Federal Register. U yoo do. you are subject 00 criminal penalties up 00 $ii.0II0.

Another provision of the Act is that we may keep only in­fonnatioo which ia r_nably necessary 00 accomplish the purpose for which the system of records was estaNisbed. A basic premise here is that information not collected about an individual cannot be misused.

Giving Information to third parties You may not give personal information frem a system of

records to a third party without the written consent of the individual involved unless diaclosure of the information falls under one of the following eleven exceptions:

-You may rel ..... Information to employ ... of Navy ... DoD who have a need 00 know in the performance of thetr duties and when the use is coqNltible with the purpose for which the record .. maintained.

-Items permitted unde< the Freedom of InformaUon Act (see last week' s article) may be released to anyone who ub.

- Any information may be released if it is within the routine use of the record as described in the Federal Register.

'- You may release information to the Bureau of the Census. -You may release information if the record is to be UIed

only for statistical reoearch ... reporting. - Reconls may be given to the National Archives if the

record has sufficient historical value to warrant its preser­vation.

-Infonnation may be released to a civil or aiminal law enfo""""..,t activity if the activity la authorized by law and if the head of the law enforcement activity requested the record in writing. specifying the particular record desired and the law enfo""""..,t purpose for which the record will be used. Blanket requests for all records pertaining to an individual may not be granted.

-You may release information under emergency conditions when the health and safety of a person is involved . The in­formation reJeased does not necessarily have to be on the in­dividual involved. For eu.mple, dental charts on sevel"al in-­dividuals could be released in order to identify a person in­jured in an accident.

-Information may be given to either House of Congress or Congressional cormnlttees. Information may oot. however. be given 00 individual members of Coogress requesting 00 behaH of a constituent unless the individual 00 whom the record pertains has requested assistance or gives you written consent to release the infonnation.

- You may release r ecords to the Comptroller General (or an authorized represe!ltative ) if the information is needed in the official perfonnance of duties of the General Acc,nmtlng

Office. -U given a court order. yoo must rel .... recorda. U tile

Safety suggestions oHered to bicycle ri~ers By Billie Hise

The bicycle rider is the most wlnerable of aU vehicle operators on streets and roads . Operators of cars and trucks have metal around. them and the power to move out of the way of trouble. Most motorcycle riders wear helmets and protective gear and their 'cycles have the power to get them out of a tight situation in most instances .

The bicycle rider . however , does not have the faSt accelera tion needed to get out of a difficult spo~ quickly. Also he is a light­weight a nd is no match for heavier vehicles.

Records show that many times when

there is an accident involving a bicycle and another vehicle, the bicycle rider was not seen by the vehicle operator until it was too late to avoid a mishap.

Bicycle riders are urged to do their part in preventing accidents by oboe<vlng the following safety precautions:

- Stop a t all " Stop" signs. Obey all other a pplicable traffic regulations and sigN.

- Keep right, ride with the traffic. not against it, and travel in single file.

- Watch out for crain grates, rocks, soft shoulders and sand on the r oad.

- Never hitch a r ide by hanging onto on

another vehicle . - Be exira careful at intersections. - Use hand signals 00 indicate turning or

sOOpping.

- Do not carry a passenger unless there is a separate seat for the passenger that is attached to the bicycle.

Motorists can do their part in prevenw. a ccidents involving bicycles by :

Being alert for bicycle riders. ~ and mol<lrcycles. and extending the same courtesies 00 bicycle riders that they would to any other ·vehicle operator.

Library rule on reserving new books to change

BegiMing Sept. 15, patrons of the Center library will no longer be able to reserve new books before they are processed and placed on the shelves, Mike Santone, NWC librarian, said..

In tile past, when new books arrived, their covers have been displayed 'and persons were permitted to reserve these new volwnes. After the books were processed, the individual reserving a book was notified by postcard of its availability.

Under this new policy, books will be available only 00 a first..come-lirst-served basis after they are placed on the shelves.

Patrons may still reserve books in the usual maJUler, Santone said, and the change in the procedure only applies to volmnes which have not been made ready for normal circulatioo.

The library receives an average of 12 new books a week. 1be new procedure will simplify processing and result in savings of time and money and improved service, Santone explained.

"La Raza: Forgotten Americans," edited by Julian Samora, explains Hispanic contributions 10 the agricultural Industry 0/ the Southwest.

This was preceded, however, by an ex­tensive four-week orientation program conducted by the American Political Science Association.

Reed. landed an assignment with Robin Beard, a third term member of Congress who represents the Sixth.. District in the State of Tennessee. Congressman Beard, a Republican, is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, and also serves on the Military Construction, Military Pay and Compensation and in­vestigation Sub-<:ommittees of the House of Representatives.

In line with Reed's interest in military matters, he was lnvolved in a five-rnonth study of the all-volunteer Army that took him to 13 Army bases in the United States and also to Germany and Great Britain.

Entered in Congressional Record The result of this effort by the China

Laker was a 22S-page study report that was entered into the Congressional Record as part 01 the bearings held by the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose members are looking into the state of readiness of both the regular Army and the Army Reserve.

The Army was chosen for this stooy of military preparedness because it is the largest in size - making up about 40 per cent of the Armed Forces of the U.s., Reed said.

He gathered dala by talking 10 Army personnel of all ranks and grades in many places, including members and their overseas dependents from units that are stationed 00 the border between east anti west Germany. At this time, Reed has been invited and expects to know in a week or so if he wi~ be a witness in Washington before the Investigation Subcommittee of the House Armed Forces Committee, which is preparing to hold hearings on the state of mobilization in the Armed Forces especially the AnDy.

Prepared M.terial on Kore. In addition to the firsthand report tIlat

was prepared. following his visit to Army units in Europe, Reed also assisted in the preparation of material needed by Qmgressman Beard when, -as a member of the Investigations SuiH:ommittee, it became his responsibility to visit K<rea in

. connection with President Jirruny Carter's proposed phase out over a ~year period of U.S. troops stationed in South Ktrea.

Reed did his share of the staff work which was necessary to help prepare Congressman Beard for a trip to Korea upon which he was to base his recom­merl(iation on whether or not the House of Representatives Should support the President's proposal for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from that country.

As a Congressional feUow, Reed also spent part of his time in the U.S. Senate working for Senator Robert Morgan , a Democrat from North Carolina, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Military Personnel Sub­committee and the Tactical Air Sub­c·ommittee.

and Selective Service legislation were the areas of concern addressed by Reed during his assignment in the ollice of Senalor Morgan .

Attempts were made 10 amend this year's authorization and appropriation bills in order to strengthen the Selective Service System. Reed's efforts in the work on such legislation were recognized in July when, on the eve of his departure from Washington, he was presented a Meritorious Service Award by Robert Shuck, I>irector of the Selective Service System.

Reed. was accompanied to WaSrungton, D.C., by his wile, linda, and their two children - a daughter Leslie, who is 16, and a son, Jack, who is 13 years old.

In the spare time which they did have, they visited historic points of interest in the nation's capital and up and down the east coast.

As a follow-up to his year-long tour as the recipient of a Fellowship in Congressional Operations, Reed said that he hopes to give some seminars this year on such subjects as what it's like to work in a Congressman's office, how the budget ~ocess works, and " real world" politics.
