Mayor Carole McClellan said
lie was more than disappointed
its mateiii ath the refusal of President
s. Segravni teagan to declare a disaster area
risanoiqi ecause of recent flooding which
on and jailed 13 persons and promised to
^jppeal.
Gov. Bill Clements had said
I’riday, when he forwarded the
ve to buys lisaster declaration request to
rials to lull teagan, that he did not think
Mrs. Sffli here was any question it would be

formed city officials he would not
declare Travis and Williamson
counties as disaster areas because
of floods which killed 13 and left
another missing last week.
The president directed the
Small Business Administration to
make low interest, long term loans
available to businesses and indi
viduals who suffered losses from
the floods, however.
“To say I am disappointed
would be an understatement,’’
said the mayor. “I am in the pro
cess of talking to the governor’s
office to find out how we go about
appealing the decision. I am not
through.”
Bill Blair, a public affairs officer
with the Federal Emergency
Management Center, said the re
quest for a disaster declaration was
denied because the severity and
magnitude of the flood did not re
quire federal help.
Rep. J.J. Pickle, D-Texas, also
expressed disappointment at the
president’s decision, saying it
means the city, county and school
system will not receive federal aid
to repair flood damage.
Estimates indicate the flood,
produced by almost seven inches
of rain in a two to three hour
period, caused $7.5 million in
damages to city property, $17.3
million in damags to residences
and $14 million to businesses.
Clements said Monday he sym
pathized deeply with citizens who
suffered damages in the flood, and
added: “It would appear that
Small Business Administration aid
is a very vital part of the assistance
offered by the federal govern
ment, and that will be available. It
is significant.”
Under the SBA loans, homeow
ners may borrow up to $55,000 at
3 percent interest, and business
owners may borrow up to
$500,000 at 5 percent interest.
We are moving down the street to the
new University East Commerce Center.
Come see us there after June 9th.

Request for hearings dropped
United Press International
HOUSTON — Intervenors in a
luclear power plant licensing
searing have dropped their re
quest for unprecedented closed
essions, saying witnesses who
brmerly demanded anonymity

The intervenors withdrew their
bequest for the closed sessions
Monday during the hearings to
determine whether Houston

aid all their witnesses are now
willing to testify in public.
Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
Concerned About Nuclear Power,
said he talked to the witnesses
during last week’s recess in the
hearings and persuaded them to
testify publicly.
Before the hearings' recessed
May 22, Sinkin said he was trying
to encourage the witnesses to tes
tify publicly, but he would carry
through with his request to close
the hearings “to get the informa
tion on the record.”
A spokesman for HL&P said the
utility opposed the motion for
closed sessions because they
would deprive the utility of its
ability to defend itself against
“nameless accusers making un
substantiated allegations.”
Attorneys for The Houston Post
and The Houston Chronicle
appeared before the three-judge
panel before the recess and said
the newpapers would oppose any
move to close portions of the hear

only to preserve the security of

Intervenors had asked for the
