AUSTIN — Members of the
Texas Farmers Union say the state
“oil gang” manipulated the House
defeat of a bill that would have pro
hibited corporations and foreign
interests from owning agricultural
land in Texas.
Reps. Matt Garcia, D-San An
tonio, and Bob Davis, R-Irving, said
the bill by Rep. L.P. Patterson,
D-Brookston, would set a bad pre
cedent in international relations
since many countries allow Ameri
cans or American corporations to
own land. The bill was defeated
Wednesday, 72-65.
“I think this would be a slap in the
face of these countries,” Garcia said.
But Ron Butler, state secretary of
the farmers union, said American
Petrofina and Shell Oil exerted
strong pressure against the bill in
committee hearings because they
have considerable corporate stock
owned by foreign investors.
The measure would have prohib
ited the sale of agricultural land to
non-permanent residents of the
U.S. or to corporations that had
more than 20 percent of their stock
owned by non-Americans.
“Since there is little concern
about exported petrodollars return
ing to buy up our Texas farmland —
and considering the one-time inter
est by foreign royalty to purchase
the Alamo — I wonder how state
officials would react to putting up
the governor’s mansion for sale to
the highest foreign bidder,” Butler
said.

WASHINGTON — Portions of
the Mexican border will be fenced
in an attempt to slow illegal immi
gration, acording to Justice De
partment spokesmen. Fencing plans
have been scaled down, however,
because of strong protests over a
so-called “Tortilla Curtain” which
could cut off immigrants’ fingers and
toes.
Referring to protests about the
fencing plans, a Justice Department
spokesman told reporters it was
probably the first time in American
history a news briefing had been
called “to announce the replace
ment of eight miles of fence. ”
Attorney General Griffin Bell,
compromising to quiet an outcry
from Mexican-American and civil
rights groups, announced the
scaled-down fencing plans.
Bell said instead of 12 miles of the
razor-sharp metal fencing first pro
posed last October, the Immigration
