Rep. 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.
