In his first term, he served on the Weapons and Military Use Committee from 5 March 1981 to 18 March 1982 and from 10 June 1982 to 11 July 1983.[3] He also served on the Defense Committee from 11 July 1979 to 11 July 1983.[4] He heavily focused on military and security issues and signed a bill on local police regulations on 12 May 1980,[5] and one on the use of armed forces on 27 April 1983.[6]
