Messenger-Inquirer from Owensboro, Kentucky • 22

MESSENGER INQUIRER, Thursday, May 16, 1985 Hearing By Charles Wolfe Associated Press FRANKFORT The controversy surrounding passage of the state's invitro fertilization law was reopened Wednesday, with the Kentucky Right to Life Association calling for a public hearing on the issue of -tube babies. Sen. Benny Ray Bailey, co-chairman of the legislature's Interim Joint Health and Welfare Committee, indicated the panel would offer such a forum, possibly at one of its regular meetings. The committee scheduled its Wednesday meeting to hear status reports on in-vitro programs at the University of Louisville and University of Kentucky hospitals. But it became a debate about the ethics of extraordinary human fertilization, and of the extraordinary birth of the law itself.

sought on "I think we have to take a position on whether we will create life at any expense and hang the Jane Grimm Originally introduced as a House bill by Rep. Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, the in -vitro measure fell by the wayside in that chamber. It resurfaced in the last hours of the 1984 General Assembly when a House and Senate conference committee tied it to a House bill relating to physical therapists. Proponents then rammed it through over the protests of Right to Life supporters. The in-vitro procedure entails fertilizing human eggs in a laboratory, then implanting them in the uterus.

It has so far been reserved for married couples unable to reproduce on their own. Opponents charged that fertilized eggs could be discarded or otherwise destroyed during the process, amounting to an abortion. The new law allows the procedure in public medical facilities, but publie funds cannot be used. The of in-vitro program was already under way at the private Norton's Hospital, SO the law was aimed primarily at UK. Jane Grimm and Margie Montgomery of the Right to Life Association's Louisville chapter told committee members the legislation should have been given a full public airing.

"At no time during the session was this bill debated or even considered by any committee of the Senate," Mrs. Grimm said. She and Mrs. Montgomery said Right to Life wants in-vitro programs halted until public hearings are held. "I don't understand why everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon to impede progress," said Rep.

Tom Burch, D-Louisville, the committee's other co-chairman. "If we were killing somebody, or doing what Hitler did, I could see where we have a problem," Burch Cumberland Gap tunnel back on track By Bill Bergstrom Associated Press PIKEVILLE- Interior Secretary Donald Hodel lifted a freeze Wednesday on funds for the Cumberland Gap tunnel after two weeks of negotiations with Kentucky and Tennessee officials, U.S. Rep. Harold Rogers said. Work originally scheduled to start in January on the estimated $150 million four-lane tunnel can begin as soon as the contractors are notified, Rogers said in a call from his Washington, D.C., office.

The tunnel is designed to replace the two-lane, three-mile "Massacre Mountain" section of U.S. 25E that winds through Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. The agreement followed negotiations in which Kentucky and Tennessee pledged to share tunnel operation and maintenance costs of up to 000 a year, Rogers said. The Somerset Republican said he, Sens. Wendell Ford and Mitch McConnell and Rep.

William Natcher began pressing Hodel to lift a suspension order on the project after a House Appropriations subcommittee voted April 24 to recommend canceling the freeze. McConnell said he also received word from Hodel and called it "really terrific news for Bell County and really gratifying for the whole Kentucky delegation." He said a Senate Appropriations subcommittee likewise approved a measure, on May 6, to override deferral of the tunnel funding. Rogers said the group told Hodel a congressional override of the freeze was virtually inevitable after the favorable vote in the House subcommittee, where the chairman, Rep. Sid Yates, has opposed the tunnel in the past. "That was always the hardest obstacle to overcome," he said.

He said the Kentuckians also argued that delaying the project was costing $6.000 a day in costs" to the contractor standing by to start work a total of about $1 million since construction was to have begun in January. Work was halted by a December order from the federal Office of Management and Budget that froze spending of the $14 million appropriated in 1984 and $28 million approved Daily Re Records Michael A.

Reagan administration officials said they wanted to use the money instead for National Park Service firefighting programs, but Kentucky officials argued that was illegal since it was appropriated specifically for the Cumberland Gap road project. Rogers said he was "quite elated" at the word from Hodel. "This has been almost a mission impossible." He said action is expected in the next month or two on the proposed 1986 tunnel appropriation of $10.4 million. Ford said "I hope the lifting of the stop-work order was our biggest hurdle.
