Page 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1981 State / National Ma Bell objects to wiretap bill United Press International AUSTIN — Responding to the tele phone company’s request that the new Texas wiretap law be considered for revi sion in a special session of the Legislature, some lawmakers contend the entire law could be jeopardized. Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. ob jects to a provision requiring that telephone company employees involved in wiretaps prove they were acting in accordance with a valid court order. It has asked Gov. Bill Clements to allow the special session con vening Monday to revise the statute. The telephone company wants the law changed to provide that prosecutors in cri minal cases involving telephone company employees would have to prove the em ployees were not acting under court orders when they installed the wiretaps. The wiretap bill was passed during the regular session which ended June 1. It takes effect Sept. 1. Some legislators contend that if Cle ments opens the special session for con sideration of the change requested by Bell, he may be jeopardizing the wiretap law because it would then be subject to other amendments or repeal. “I think when you open up that subject matter, you open the whole thing up,” said Rep. Lynn Nabers, D-Brownwood, chair man of the House committee that handled the wiretap bill. “I don’t think the governor wants another bite at that apple,” he said Tuesday. Sen. Bob Glasgow, D-Stephenville, who authored the provision, said he will oppose efforts by the telephone company to revise it. “The important thing about the wiretap bill that everybody has overlooked is that it makes it illegal for anyone except the Texas Department of Public Safety to possess wiretap equipment, ” Glasgow said. “It gets all that stuff out of the hands of private people.” But Southwestern Bell officials are quietly lobbying legislative leaders for revi sion of the wiretap bill, and Nabers said a Bell lobbyists has made an appointment to meet with him Wednesday. Clements, who is vacationing in Virginia this week, has given no indication he will submit the issue to the session and risk further changes in the bill that legalizes the use of court approved wiretaps in drug in vestigations.

The former president also faulted Reagan for being unwilling to open arms control talks with the Soviet Union — a stand he said gives the Kremlin a propagan da weapon. Carter said he was not as concerned about the administration’s budget battles although the cuts will hurt students, far mers, the aged and the marginally em ployed and raise the possibility of new, highly regressive property and sales taxes. In his most outspoken criticism yet of his successor. Carter spelled out his views in a letter to his former Cabinet and senior staff members this week. United Press Interna tional obtained a copy. Carter said: —“I have to admit the budget battles have not concerned me quite so much as the subjects which were outlined in my ‘farewell’ address”— the environment, hu man rights and nuclear arms control— but many cuts are “ill-advised.” —“The misguided and radical new poli cies of the Department of Interior are a serious threat to the future of our nation, condemned almost unanimously — in the East and the West — by those who are dedicated to the proper stewardship of our nation’s natural resources.” —Recent attacks on Jacobo Timmer man, a former political prisoner in Argenti na, within America’s U.N. delegation “were almost unbelievable. I am afraid they reflect a widespread and general attitude in the new administration.” —“We will surely weaken the Atlantic alliance and severely damage our own reputation as a peace-loving people if we let the Soviet leaders retain the unwarranted but important propaganda advantage they have derived from our unwillingness, for the first time since Harry Truman, to seek nuclear arms controls through negotia tion.” Carter said he and wife Rosalynn are planning a trip to China and Japan in late August and early September and expect to be in Atlanta more often in the months ahead as they finish writing their books. Summing up his views on other matters. Carter said: “I certainly hope the recent hard-won respite from oil-price increases will not become an excuse to depart from our conservation policies, that our formerly R< wi Unit WAS I dent Res range of won bac publican choice ft but he c( far right The c •Day O’C Tjrst wo highest c ics for Ri It stn — he ph idential t first app court v Reagan { credit tl cessors paign pr It wir thousanc publican 'near op administ of lindin Washing At tl expanding influence and friendship; ca and among other developingnats not be lost, and that the momenta Middle East peace initiative cat; gained.” Carter said some of his (otr leagues, as well as members ofCj had urged him to speak out about concerns."
