Texans, Viets
halt fleet build-up
United Press International
HOUSTON — Texan and Viet
namese fishermen have agreed to an
Informal moratorium on expansion of
the commercial fleet working the
crowded Galveston Bay, a mediator
announced.
. “It’s a voluntary or gentlemen’s
agreement to hold the number of
boats to the current level,” John
Townsend said. “New boats can be
swapped for old boats but that’s it.
Both sides have agreed to try to hold
it.”

WASHINGTON — Inflation has
driven up highway construction
costs 156 percent in the last 10 years,
according to the Road Information
Program. The group estimates the
price tag for repairing and rebuilding
the nation’s broken-down roads and
bridges is $124 billion, but state and
federal agencies are able to collect
and spend only about $30 billion
annually.

WASHINGTON — Some scien-
g to p lists estimate that world population
gnoif fbout 25,000 years ago was only 3.34
million — about the number of peo
ple living in Chicago today, accord-
e? 1 ing to the National Geographic
lancini Society,
to can
Clements’ Task Force on In
dochinese Resettlement, said the
agreement was reached after a series
of meetings.
Townsend and other federal, state
and local officials have tried to mini
mize friction between native and re
fugee fishermen in the Kemah-
Seabrook area to prevent trouble
when shrimp season opens next
month.
A U.S. Commerce Department
study last fall indicated efforts should
be made to relieve growing pressure
from Indochinese refugee involve
ment on the Texas fishing industry.
The refugee population in Texas
has been estimated at 25,000 and
growing.
Officials have said Vietnamese are
moving onto the Texas Gulf Coast
from other parts of the country be
cause they like the hot, steamy cli
mate and the fishing life.
They work and live cheaper than
American fishermen and pose a
threat to economic stability in the
area, fishermen have charged.
Last year, violence erupted in the
fishing village of Seabrook, on San
Antonio Bay near Corpus Christi.
One Texan was killed and two Viet
namese were acquitted of murder
charges on grounds of self-defense.
