police said this week as they

tions of government and feel
that I can make a positive
contribution as a member of
Congress. I have no motive
other than to serve the people
of our district and state.
“I wish to thank so many
throughout the district who
have urged me to become a
candidate and who have
pledged to join with me in this
effort. I am especially
grateful to the members of
my family for their support
and encouragement during
this long decision-making
process,” he said.
Roark is a native of Grover
and a 1942 graduate of Grover
High School. He served in the
U.S. Air Force from 1943-46
and moved to Shelby after be-
ing discharged from the ser-
vice.
He has worked as a door-to-
door salesman, newspaper
reporter and editor, construc-
tion, insurance, real estate,
land development and
operator of fast food fran-
chises and major league
baseball farm clubs.
He served 22 years in city
"government in Shelby as a
councilman and mayor. He
was Administrative Staff
Director for U.S. Senator -
Robert Morgan (1975-81) and
campaign manager for At-
torney General Lacy Thorn-
burg in 1983-84. He has been
active in a number of civic
and community affairs and is
a member of ‘Shelby
Presbyterian Church where
he has served as a Deacon
and Sunday School teacher.
Having served 22 years in
city government, six in the
U.S. Senate and 13 months in
the Attorney General’s office,
Roark says he feels ‘‘trained
and qualified’ to be a U.S.
Congressman.
“I've gained quite an in-
sight into government and
have had good on-the-job
training at the local, state
and national level,” he says.
+ Roark labels himself a
‘fiscal conservative’’.
“I grew up in the depres-
sion years of the late twenties
and early thirties when you
had to be conservative,”’ he
said. “I think I demonstrated
my fiscal conservatism when
I was in city government in
Shelby. We consistently
maintained the lowest tax
rate (24 cents per $100 valua-
tion) in North Carolina for a
city our size.”
Roark labels the $2.2
trillion national debt as a
“political sin”’.
“The reason I think it’s a
sin is that we’re now spen-
ding $500 million every single
day just to pay the interest.
That figures out to about $182
billion a year just to pay in-
terest. That doesn’t buy
anything at all. It is a
poi sin to impose such a
urden on future generations
just to provide us the luxury
of borrowing money.
“We hear a lot about na-
tional defense, and there

wouldn’t be anyone in con-
gress who would be stronger
for defense than I am, but if
we really want to do
something about national
defense we should first find a
way to get rid of that debt.
Then we would have an extra
$182 billion a year to spend on
defense and many other pro-
grams that could use the
money. A country that is
broke is going to have a tough
time providing for its needs,
both foreign and domestic.”
Roark said he feels
Americans are going to be
concerned when they ‘‘finally
realize the impact of the so-
called Graham-Rudman Bill.
As I understand it,”’ he said,
“the current estimate would
impose a 4.3 percent cut in a
lot of programs. And that’s
fine. But the problem I have
with it is from some of the ex-
emptions. For example, ex-
“cluded from cuts is the White
House budget and the budget
for the members of Congress,
including representatives
and senators. It is hard to
justify cutting funds for
education and veterans
benefits and Farmers Home
Administration, and others,
and at the same time ex-
cluding the members of Con-
gross and White House
udgets and other items. I
don’t have as much trouble
with cutting as I have with
the selection process that’s
used.”
Roark said he also has
“strong misgivings’ about
the President’s veto of the
Textile Fiber and Apparel
Bill ‘“‘simply because it
represents a very unfair ap-
plication of what the Presi-
dent describes as protec-
tionist legislation.

Roark Seeks House Seat
“The apparel industry in
this country was swamped in
1985 with 50 percent of the
domestic market made up of
foreign imports,” Roark
said. “The Textile and Ap-
parel Act would have reduced
that to about 40 percent, sav-
ing thousands and thousands
of textile jobs. But the Presi-
dent vetoed it and said we did
not need protectionist legisla-
tion.”
Among his other concerns,
Roark said, is the govern-
ment’s ‘‘callous disregard’
for environmental matters,
and the loss of confidence by
many citizens in the govern-
ment.
“I believe it was Billy
Graham who said that ‘a
democracy can’t survive
when people lose confidence
in it.’ I think that’s very true.
There’s a lot of evidence that
people are losing confidence
in the system and in the
elected and appointed of-
ficials. I think we need to set
a higher standard and live up
to it,”” he said.
