Wright ^ * backs Gramm, his proposals Congressional candidate Phil Gramm received heavy-duty politi cal help from U.S. Rep. Jim Wright Thursday. Wright, House Majority Leader and the senior member of Texas’s Democratic delegation in the House, announced his support for Gramm in a packed press confer ence reception in Bryan which was attended by some 200 persons. Gramm is running for the 6th District Congressional seat being vacated by retiring congressman Olin E. Teague. Gramm said he supports a con stitutional amendment barring the U.S. government from deficit spending during peacetime. He said enforcing a balanced budget would help solve problems of inflation and the declining dollar. In remarks after the press confer ence Wright said he opposes Presi dent Carter’s veto of the public works bill because the bill contained several Texas water projects. Almost any water project is a good invest ment for the future, he said. Wright said Carter was unaware of Texas’s needs when he vetoed the legisla tion. “Carter is from Georgia where it rains all the time, while we re from Texas where it doesn’t,” he said.
