The measure, dubbed the
“Teenage Chastity bill” and intro
duced amid winks and sly grins,
has quietly become law. With no
floor debate, it was passed by Con
gress in late July as part of the
massive 1982 budget reconcilia
tion bill.
Zonker can rest assured the
new law, officially titled “Public
Health Service Act amendments
relating to adolescent pregnancy
and parenthood,” provides no
movie ID checks or blaring trucks.
But it seeks to care for the un
wed half of the nation’s 500,000
teenagers who have a baby, as well
as the unwed mother’s partner
and the parents of both. And it will
try to curb the mounting number
of teenage pregnancies.
The Bill authorizes $30 million

Only one-third of the funds may
go for research, and this money
must be used for “scientific re
search on the causes and consequ
ences of premarital adolescent
sexual relations.”
Two-thirds of the funds must go
to caring programs to provide
“necessary services” — as deter
mined by the Department of
Health and Human Services — for
pregnant teenagers and their pa
rents, or for pregnancy prevention
programs.
“It mandates the involvement
of parents, in instances where an
unemancipated minor is receiving

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.
— It was supposed to be a mock
Western shootout at a shopping
center promotion, but someone
put real bullets in one of the
weapons instead of blanks and the
stunt show turned into a bloody
gun battle injuring three people.
Stuntman Pete Porteous, 22, of
nearby Simi Valley was in critical
condition at Westlake Hospital
with a collapsed lung and wounds
on his face, neck and chest.
Two bystanders also suffered
minor wounds and were released
after treatment at Westlake Hos
pital.

Wade said Porteous was one of
