HOUSTON — Former Texas
Gov. John Connally started a news
conference Thursday by announcing
plans to campaign for Republican
presidential candidate Ronald
Reagan, but he really wanted to
answer fellow high-powered Hous
ton lawyer Leon Jaworski.
When introducing Bush at a
downtown rally Monday, Jaworski
urged Texans to ignore “also-rans
who marched up to the altar of public
opinion with large campaign chests
and who are now back home licking
their wounds. They once laughed at
George, but now George has the last
laugh.”
Connally — prosecuted by
Jaworski’s Watergate team, but ac
quitted of charges that he, as Treas
ury secretary, accepted a payoff for
backing higher milk price supports
— took Jaworski’s remark personally
and responded tartly.
“I think my only comment would
be that, if indeed he is referring to
me, that Mr. Jaworski’s PR (public
relations) people told him he needed
a hype of some kind so he could get
back in the news,” Connally said.
“That’s the only justification I know
for such a remark.
“I thought it came with poor grace
and bad judgment for Mr. Jaworski
to make the statement that he did,
and I’m not going to respond in kind.
“The only two contests where we
really locked horns, his candidate
came in third behind Gov. Reagan
and me, and that was in Florida and
South Carolina. I think when it’s all
over we’re all going to be also-rans,”
Connally said.
Connally bettered Bush in the
November Florida straw poll and the
South Carolina primary, where both
lost to Reagan.
But Bush’s Texas chairman, Hal
DeMoss, listed Puerto Rico, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Ver
mont as places where both Connally
and Bush were on the ballot and
Bush finished ahead of Connally.
Connally attacked Bush’s claim he
has more experience for the White
House than Reagan.
Reagan’s “background and experi
ence far exceeds that of his only
opponent. They’re not even compa
rable,” Connally said.
“He (Reagan) was governor of a
state for eight years. He knows issues
better than anybody in terms of
taxes, inflation, energy, bureaucra
cy. A governor must deal with a leg
islature.
“George cites a long list of
appointments. But you have to dis
tinguish between appointments and
achievements,” Connally said.
aumevements, v^onnaiiy sam.
“In my opinion, the best training
presidential candidate can have is to
being that strong. But don’t ij
pret what I do say as the t
invitation.”
presidential candidate can nav<
be governor of a major state.”
Connally said President Carter, a
one-term governor of Georgia,
might be “the exception that proves
the rule,” but Connally also said he
did not consider Georgia to be a ma
jor state.
Connally, who traveled to Dallas
and Tennessee with Reagan Thurs
day, said he had not discussed, did
not want and would be “reluctant” to
accept any post in a Reagan adminis
tration. But he stopped short of
saying he would not serve.
“It’s presumptuous of me to just
say, ‘Well I’m not going to do it. That
doesn’t sound good and doesn’t set
well.’ I’ve restrained myself from

ARLINGTON — The Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Thursday
proposed fining Houston Lighting &
Power Co. $100,000 for noncom

construction of the South Texas Nuc

The NRC also said the utility

in 90 days because of the allegations.

The items of noncompliance were
identified during an investigation
conducted between Nov. 10, 1979,
and Feb. 7, according to Clyde Wis
er, director of public affairs for the
NRC regional office. The items were
related to the quality assurance prog
ram of one of the utility’s principal
contractors, Brown & Root Inc.
“Although these problems have
been to a great extent associated with
Brown & Root quality assurance
program implementation, as licen
see, you have prime responsibility
for correction. The deficiencies in
the Brown & Root program were so
extensive that they should have been
readily detected.”

The investigation also revealed
evidence that radiographic tests of
piping welds were conducted in a
manner which did not meet the re
quirements of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
code. Testing of safety-related pipe
welds and conformance with the
AMSE code is required by NRC reg
ulations.
In a letter to the utility, Victor
Stello, director of the NRC office of
inspection and enforcement, said,
“...similar items of non-compliance
The potential fine for all 22 items
of noncompliance cited is $372,000.
However, under federal law, the tot
al fines for any 30-day period cannot
exceed $25,000. Consequently, the
proposed fine is $100,000 to cover
the 120-day period the NRC investi
gated the utility.
In addition to the proposed civil
penalty, Stello served on HL&P an
order to show cause why the con
struction permit for the South Texas
Projects should not be suspended in
90 days. Until corrective actions with
the quality assurance programs are
implemented, the company and
