Deese has been very active in support of the local schools, serving as a PTA Committee member and later as Presi dent of the Prospect PTA. Deese hu been a member of the Proepect Advisory Council for the last five years. Deese released the follow ing statement: "With all the cuts in the federal programs within the next four years, especially in education; it is important that we have good strong representation on the school board."

Environmen tal Management Commission and Republican candidate for Congress the 7th District held a press confernece re cently in Fayettevill to predict the ultimate defeat of U.S. Ecology's effort to locate a radioactive incinerator in Bla den County. In announcing his opposi tion to the proposed incinera tor, Harrelson released this prepared statement "Even before my appoint ment as chairman of the N.C. Environmental Management Commission, I was keenly aware of the controversy surrounding U.S. Ecology's proposed radioactive waste incinerator near Fayetteville. Although the news media has done an outstanding job of informing the public about the advantages and disadvan tages of this project there does remain no small amount of confusion about the role of various state and federal agencies in the permitting process. Hie Environmental Man agement Commission and the Division of Environmental Management are entrusted with the principal duty of protecting the environment of our state. We take this role very seriously. Accordingly, before U.S. Ecology would be able to operate in North Carolina they would require an air quality permit from our division. Sometime back I asked the Director of the Division of Environmental Management, Paul Wilms, to conduct a thorough and im partial investigation of U.S. Ecology's ability, financial viability and most especially its track record. > This investigation is ongoing and nearing completion. From what I have read in official reports and observed in the pubhopieeting in Fay etteville and at the public hearing in Bladen County, U.S. Ecology should be de nied the right to operate in North Carolina.
