State Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin To the Editor: 53203 адрес connecting adult leg would Vel 17 the Paus MAR 5 RECE let Lelp know Once again the Milwaukee Police Department has exhibited its utter lack of priorities in enforcing the law. I am referring to the Feb. 2, 1979 raid of the Club Milwaukee Baths in which seven adult men were arrested on various charges under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 944 (Crimes VS Sexual Morality). With the exception of one individual with prior charges pending, neither the District Attorney nor City Attorney preferred charges against those arrested. This follows the same pattern as four previous raids on these private clubs during the past eight months. It is obvious that the Milwaukee Police Department's enforcement (In 99% of the cases against gay and bisexual men) of these absurd laws is not only a waste of taxpayer dollars, but quite posibly in violation of the United States Constitution. The police are using these laws discriminatorily to harass gays. This harassment, mistreatment, abuse and humiliation at the hands of the Milwaukee Police Department is being financed by the good citizens and taxpayers (gay and straight alike) of this city and state. As our Governor Dreyfus would put it: will not stand for it!

The hearing went extremely well, and I am hopeful that we can have the Bill referred out of committee in the near future and acted on by the Assembly this floor session. Clearly this sort of reform is long overdue, and it is only through the support of groans, like your own that we can hope to get it passed into. law. 7 I look forward to meeting with you again at your convenience to discuss other legislation that you might be interested in. 414 Sincerely, $ DEC:1b 1 DAVID E.

L MILWAUKEE, WIS. 53211 File Sexual Prices State Representative David Clarenbach Wisconsin Legislature Assembly Chamber Madison, WI 53702 Dear Dave, 26 Feb 1979 Jim Moody has sent me a copy of this years "consenting adults" bill. Seems to get the job done, however, I am wondering if we haven't gotten a little paranoid over prostitution. There are those who claim that male prostitution is not now against the law, and thus this would be a step backward. I for one do not harbor such a view, but that you'd like to know that the "good guys" are flapping their gums. Also, and of more concern to me, I hear that the suggestion might be made that you divorce yourself from this legislation. I urge you (a) not to; and, (b) to tell those who suggest it to go perfrom the famous impossible physical act. (The problem with (b) is they probably can.) Those in the know realize that you have been willing to be in the forefront with this bill in the past, and appreciate your efforts. trust they will continue. It is one thing for the johnny-come-lately's to jump on the band wagon when they smell victory, but another matter when they try to second guess they very person who is most responsible for this matter getting as far as it has in the past. unfortunately my health continues to plague me, and I can only help in spurts (maybe that's just as well) but I will do what I can from this end. Keep me posted and best wishes as always, Rog --- 5 March 1979 Dear Roger, I appreciated your letter and support. Your comments were very kind and I must admit, motivating. Presently, I'm trying to get signa- tures on the Consenting Adults Bill that will represent the broadest base of support possible. It won't be easy, but I think there is a realistic chance of getting this bill passed. Your help has always been valuable - thanks again.

Michael Ferrall State Assembly Madison, WI 53702 Dear Mr. Ferrall; After hearing an editorial on WRJN last evening, I feel compelled to write you this letter. First of all, I want to make it very clear that I represent no one and I write as a private citizen. I wish to support and endorse what I understand is your intention to vote in favor of Assembly Bill 323. It seems to me that Bill 323 is a good bill and deserves your support. We need to remove bad laws from the books, because the effect of them is to lessen respect for the law which, as we all know, is all ready at a low ebb. There is no way, in which by repealing those laws, one is endorsing either fornication or homosexuality. These things exist as evil in our society and need to be dealt with, not by the law, but by the other moral structures. I am -- a firm believer that one should not try to legislate morality we should teach it and convince people that it is the higher way. It seems to me that by keeping such laws on the books when they are totally unenforceable, makes a mockery of the system and creates a double standard. Sincerely, fw. Lalana L. Sorgine Leland L.

Sap The article argues for less sexual laws and is an analysis of the current sex laws in various states. Inquiry magazine is a publication of the libertarians. Your aware I'm sure, that they favor less government in both economic and social affairs. You are a defender of civil liberties, as they are. Sex laws as you and they argue are more a question of morality than public policy. You consenting adult bill was so close to passage in the Assembly that with a few scholarly articles passed to fence sitting representatives, I'm sure it will pass next year. I hope this is helpful to you. Happy Holidays. Gib Gilbert M. Halverson = --- LLOYD BENTSEN, TEX., CHAIRMAN WILLIAM PROXMIRE, WIS. 1 ABRAHAM RIBICOFF CONN EDWARD M. KENNEDY, MASS.

The minutes of the January 19 meeting were approved as mailed. Petters reported that the Committee's position papers would be presented to the Commission on February 24, as the Commission's February 10 meeting was cancelled. Position Papers: Position papers written by Gassman and Hall on AJR3, AJR5, AJR6 and AJR7 were read to the Committee. Hall explained that he had not written a position paper on AJR2 which would restore voting privileges to convicted felons. It was unclear to him whether this bill would restore this right to presently incarcerated persons. He felt if this was true, it could have a major impact on Communities such as Waupun where the prison population is larger than that of the community's population. He spoke to Clarenbach's and Cogg's offices and they themselves were not sure. IT WAS MOVED (Kelley/Yeadon) To change the Committee's position from "support" to "watch and report." MOTION PASSED Petters pointed out that the position paper on AJR6 spoke to the abortion issue, but not to euthenasia which is also contained in the bill. He asked if the Committee desired to do so. The Committee felt this was not necessary. Hall reported that AJR5 had been heard by the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety. The Chairman of that Committee has stated that he will not vote that bill out of committee. New Business: The Committee acted on five bills (AB323, AB219, AB161, SJR15 and AB100). IT WAS MOVED (Hall/Yeadon) To support AB323 dealing with the coverage of and penalties for the existing crime of sexual perversion and fornication. MOTION PASSED --- -2- Hall will write the position paper. IT WAS MOVED (Yeadon/Hall) To amend AB219 (which deals with prohibition of discrimination against ex- offenders) to place a five year limitation on conviction records and support. MOTION PASSED Petters will write the position paper. IT WAS MOVED (Gassman/Yeadon) To amend the original position paper on AJR7 to include SJR15. MOTION PASSED The Committee will request that AB100, dealing with divorce reform, be formally referred to them by Klubertanz. Pierce reported that a course entitled "Under the Capitol Dome" through the UW Extension is being made available at a cost of $15. If a Committee member is interested in attending on behalf of the Committee, they may have the cost paid by the EOC. Interested persons may contact Petters or Pierce at 266-4910. IT WAS MOVED (Gassman/Yeadon) That in the future the Committee will meet the fourth Wednesday in the month. MOTION PASSED Goals: IT WAS MOVED (Yeadon/Hall) To adopt the Committee's goals.

Clarenbach 422 North State Capitol Madison, WI 53702 Dear Mr. Clarenbach: You may remember my letter of a few weeks ago in which I criticized your style of participation on Wiscon, Public Radio's Wisconsin Issues Forum. Well, last Thursday night I watched the discussion of AB 514 on Wisconsin ETV's Target program. I watched partly to get to see you and partly to glean more information about the bill from both its supporters and opponents. I enjoyed the program. It was informative and stimulating, and you helped make it so. Rational discussion of emotionally loaded issues is so helpful. It reassures me that legislation is not an attempt to over-simplify complex problems, but rather an attempt to deal equitably with human diversity. This means compromise. It means listening respectfully-- even to those who won't listen to you. You bit your tongue admirably well Thursday night, resulting in what I thought to be a very lucid presentation of the case in favor of AB 514. I wish--and I mean this in all sincerity, not as a "dig"--that you could be enlisted to speak with the same kind of clarity and compas- sion on behalf of the unborn young. I know that you can't, and I understand that. I just wish that you could. I'm sorry that the compliment letter is so much shorter than the complaint letter--but then you don't seem like the kind who likes to be preached at much, anyway. I wish you well, even when I disagree with you. Sincerely, William. Mengel (Rev.) William G. Menzel P.l.
