AUSTIN — The governor of
Nuevo Leon, Mexico, said Tuesday
comments by Gov. Bill Clements
concerning the oil spill that washed
onto Texas shores last summer had a
favorable impact in Mexico.
Gov. Alfonso Martinez Domin
quez said Mexico should not have
been criticized about oil that spewed
from a blown well in the Bay of Cam
peche because it was an accident.
‘Txtoc was an accident of high
technology. Accidents occur every
where, in all countries, and not just
in the search for oil,” Martinez
Dominquez said.
“We feel that this great governor
Clements had very good common
sense. The voice he took was a sign of
friendship and understanding. The
impact of Clements’ support has
been good and we consider Gov.
Clements a good friend.”
The comments by Martinez
Dominquez culminated a day-long
reciprocal visit to Texas. Clements,
who has visited the governors of the
four Mexican states that border
Texas, visited the Nuevo Leon gov
ernor in Monterrey last August.
Clements said he felt his com
ments that Mexico not be held negli
gent in the oil spill case also were
well received in Texas.
“I think there are more people in
Texas who like what I said than peo
ple who didn’t like what I said,” he
said.
Clements said he and Martinez
Dominquez held productive discus
sions concerning the two states’
mutual problems, and had agreed to
continue the visits. He said Texas
state agencies and Nuevo Leon state
departments would begin to ex-

Martinez Dominquez appreciated
Clements’ interest in seeking better
communications with Mexican bor
der governors.
“We felt satisfaction in Nuevo
Leon when Gov. Clements sug
gested these visits, and I think they
will help us have better and more
cordial relations.”
Clements also reiterated his posi
tion on the illegal alien problem. The
governor said Mexican workers were
welcome in Texas, but said they
should be documented and given
work visas.
“That way they can be protected
under the law just like any other
citizen,” he said.
Martinez Dominquez was wel
comed in morning ceremonies in the
Senate chamber attended by 500
people. He later was honored at a
luncheon and given a tour of the LBJ
Library by Lady Bird Johnson.

BROWNSVILLE — A 9,()()()
square mile oil slick from the blown-
out Mexican well, Ixtoc I, is drifting
about 60 miles south of Brownsville,
but gulf currents will push the oil
away from Texas beaches, a Coast
Guard officer said.
Capt. Gerald Hinson Tuesday said
the patch, about 60 miles long and
150 miles wide, was spotted Satur
day during a surveillance flight.
“We re concerned from the stand
point that it’s there, but there’s no
immediate threat to the Brownsville
area, Hinson reported from Corpus
Christi. "We can’t foresee any nortl-
ern movement.”
The slick was the first oil sp
near Texas since September, wkei
currents changed and carried the oil
out. But currents will shift again®
the spring sending more oil towwvj
Texas, Hinson said, adding tlun/
overflights will he made morelrf|
quently to watch the oil.
The Mexican well has spewed I *
more than 3 million barrels ofcJe
into the Gulf of Mexico since its June
3 blowout.
