A&M Research and Extension Center is a

to operate the diesel tractor which pulled the
grader, and one to operate the grader itself.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Fish
ing Department contradicted re
peated assurances by the state oil
monopoly and said a 640-square-
mile oilslick in the Gulf of Mexico
has caused “significant” environ
mental damage.
The Ixtoc I well, crippled since a
drilling accident June 3, has been
gushing 30,000 barrels of oil a day
into the Bay of Campeche, 42 miles
north of Ciudad del Carmen.
The government news agency
Notimex reported late Tuesday that
a Fishing Department spokesman
said the environmental contamina
tion caused by the spill was “very
significant and delicate,” although it
had not damaged shrimp breeding
grounds.
The spokesman reportedly said
the degree of environmental dam
age could only be determined after
the well is sealed.
On Monday, Houston oil firefigh
ter John “Red” Adair, who is trying
to cap the crippled well, said the ac
cident was “one of the world s worst
oilspills, but I believe it will be
under control shortly, in less than a
week.
“The pollution will not reach the
beaches,” he said.
Adair, a 63-year-old short and
pudgy daredevil, and his specially
trained frogmen have been ham
pered by strong underwater cur
rents and bad weather.
Pemex General Director Jorge
Diaz Serrano, has said the
environmental damage caused by
the spill would be minimal and
there would be no damage to the
