Senate Review
By Senator J. Berry Harrison
With the New Year upon us,
many of us have already made
our list of resolutions. Many
people resolve to help others or
give to charity and one of the
easiest ways to keep such a reso-
lution is to give blood.
Most people don't realize how
vital the gift of a blood donation
really is. An Oklahoman needs
blood every 4 and a half minutes
and often they must rely on the
blood donated at either the
Oklahoma Blood Institute or the
Red Cross facilities. Another fact
most people don't know is if you
live to the age of 72, there, there
is a 95% chance you will need a
blood donation sometime in
your lifetime.
In encourage you to include
donating blood to your list of
New Year's resolutions. Many
people fit the requirements to be
a donor. You must be healthy, at
least 17 years old and weigh at
least 110 pounds. However,
most people don't know they
can donate blood as often as
every two months or that a blood
donor cannot contract HIV and
AIDS through blood donation.
Donating blood is not just a
one-way street that benefits only
the recipient. Benefits for the
Oklahoma Blood Institute donor
include free cholesterol screen-
ing and donor benefit plans,
which will offer reimbursement
for blood processing fees not
covered by insurance, should
you or your dependents need
blood. Other services provided
to certain donors include pros-
tate specific antigen testing and
Hepatitis B testing.
It's easy to find a convenient
location to donate blood. Dona-
■ ■ ■ ■
tion centers are scattered all over
Oklahoma. Bloodmobiles travel
to high schools, colleges and
churches. Many people donate
at independent blood drives at
their workplace periodically
throughout the year. Of course,
people can also donate at com-
munity blood centers and hospi-
tal donor centers. You can find
your closest donation center by
calling the Red Cross at 1/800/
GIVE-LIFE or at the Oklahoma
Blood Institute Headquarters at
405/ 297-5700. Most blood dri-
ves are promoted through the
media or on fliers in public loca-
tions.
Contact me if I can be of any
assistance. At the State Senate, I
can be reached by writing to
Senator J. Berry Harrison, State
Capitol, Room 513-A, Oklahoma
City, OK 73105, or by calling
405/ 524-0126.
Quick action needed to avert
energy industry collapse
Republican legislative leaders
last week expressed support for
helping Oklahoma's belea-
guered oil and gas industry.
After a meeting Tuesday of the
Joint Oil Industry Stabilization
Task Force, new House GOP
Leader Fred Morgan, former
House GOP Leader Larry
Ferguson and Senator Minority
Leader Mark Snyder said
Republicans are ready and will-
ing to provide much-needed
relief to oil and gas producers.
"Oklahoma's energy industry
is in a crisis," Morgan declared.
"And we in state government
need to do something now. We
need to act quickly."
Republicans in the Legislature
"are prepared to come together
to enact something meaningful
within the first five days of the
session in February," said
Morgan, R-Oklahoma City. "Or,
we are ready to convene for a
special session in January."
The state Constitution provides
that the First Regular Session of
the 47th Legislature will start
Jan. 5 when the House and the
Senate convene for a one-day
organizational meeting. State
lawmakers will then recess until
Feb. 1, the first day that legisla-
tion can be considered in the
four-month regular annual ses-
sion.
"Failure to act when we know
our options are limited is uncon-
scionable," said Snyder, R-
Edmond. "We shouldn't be hes-
itant. We need to act quickly and
decisively, either in a special ses-
sion or through legislation 'fast-
tracked' during the first week of Commission, ledgers reflect.

"For several years we have
stressed the Quality Jobs Act to
recruit out-of-state corporations
to come to this state, and here we
have a home-grown industry
that desperately needs our
help," Morgan said.
"People in one of our largest
industries are suffering, and we
need to extend to them whatever
help we can."
