Senate approves $2.5 million
for superport off Gulf Coast
United Press International
AUSTIN — Senators voted 27-1
Tuesday to spend $2.5 million to
continue state efforts to build a
deepwater port for supertankers on
the Texas coast.
The Senate also voted unanim
ously to ban use of trawls to catch
redfish or speckled trout in coastal
waters during Dec. 16-Jan. 28 to
prevent overfishing of Gulf bays.
The emergency superport ap
propriation — which now goes to
the House — is to be repaid if the
project wins federal approval and
the Texas Deepwater Port Authority
is able to issue revenue bonds to
raise $1.2 billion to finance actual
construction.
“Texas must have the capability of
importing large quantities of oil,”
said Sen. A. R. Schwartz,
D-Galveston. “This (superport) is
essential to the well being of the
Texas economy.”
Schwartz said backers of a plan to
build a superport off the Louisiana
coast have a federal license already
but that facility will not meet the
needs of Texas’ petrochemical com
plex for imported oil.
“We must have a deepwater port
in Texas,” he said. “This is the best,
the quickest, the most potential
project to bring about that realitv.”
In 1977 The Legislature appro
priated $500,000 to set up the
Deepwater Port Authority to take
over efforts begun by a consortium
of major oil companies in 1972. The
Seadock consortium spent $22 mil
lion and five years on the project but
withdrew when Washington in
sisted on license restrictions the oil
companies felt were too severe.
Schwartz said the port authority
has spent most of the $500,000 and
needs $2.5 million to cover costs of
processing the license application in
Washington and the bond issue.
Each day’s delay adds $300,000 to
the cost of constructing the port 26
miles south of Freeport, Schwartz
said. Total costs have risen from
Seadock’s estimated $659 million to
the port authority’s estimate of $800
million.
Schwartz said financing the
project with tax free revenue bonds
will allow a 20 percent reduction in
tariffs on oil imported thrc
port.
The Galveston senator also]
sored the bill to make it i
catch redfish or speckled t
trawls. Shippers use the t
44-day period each year.
Schwartz said the fish conn
and are sluggish during coldsj
and that commercial
using trawls are able to wiped
entire fish population inanai
ing the latter part of Decemlt
early January.
“This just keeps the wl
population from being wipt
during one quick freeze,!

Abortion amendmei
predicted by 1980s
fee I
United Press International
DALLAS — State anti-abortion leaders, claiming support lot
cause was growing both in Texas and across the United States,
day predicted a constitutional amendment outlawing all mi
unnecessary abortions would be passed by Congress in the
1980s.
Paulette Standefer, president of Texas Right to Life of Dalki,
in a news conference that until a national anti-abortion law is
her group would work to prohibit state tax money being
abortions.
“Since Jan. 22, 1973 (the date the U.S. Supreme Court
down anti-abortion laws) we have seen disrepect for human life
ifested to the extent that we have allowed the killing of over 6
unborn babies in the United States,” she said. “These 6
deaths are what motivates pro-life people.”
Mrs. Standefer outlined five major bills Texas anti-aboi
hope to see passed by the Legislature this session. They inch
—A state resolution petitioning the Congress for a huim
amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would prohibit all
cally unnecessary abortions;
—Providing protection for infants born alive and premature
result of abortion in the last 18 weeks of pregnancy;
—Prohibiting state and local tax moneys to fund medicall)
necessary abortions;
—Prohibiting the state from contracting medical insurance
age for state employees that pays for medically unnecessary
tions;
—Legislation that would protect women who have abortions
“unethical and deceptive” abortion practices.

LONDON — Garbage piled up
in London’s streets, hospitals
turned away patients and thousands
of children were locked out of school
today as public service workers
stepped up a wave of strikes aimed
at winning pay increases of up to 40
percent.
“It is time to stop the rot,” de
clared Prime Minister James Cal
laghan, who was trying to cut the
raise demands down to something
more in line with his 5 percent anti
inflation ceiling.
Unions representing hospital
workers, ambulance drivers, street
cleaners and thousands of other
public service workers across Brit
ain made it plain they wanted much
more.
Union officials bargaining for
Britain’s 1.5 million blue collar pub
lic service workers demanded a
minimum wage of $120 a week — an
increase of $40 for the lowest-paid.
Despite Callaghan’s appeal to
unions to “stop the rot” in Britain’s
industrial relations, there was no
sign of an early breakthroiJ.<<

Work was disrupted in I
