Gramm

against him.
Attending the meeting were
former state Rep. Dan Kubiakof
Rockdale, one of three
announced Democratic candi
dates in the race; former

and a representative of humor
ist John Henry Faulk, both of
whom have indicated they might
run; U.S. Rep. Martin Frost;
state party chairman Bob Slagle;
and about 10 other party
workers.

ITHACA, N.V. — Fresh
caught fish isn’t always the best
flavored.
Linda O’Dierno of Cornell
University’s Cooperative Exten
sions Service says recent studies
by the Naiohal Fisheries Service
indicates certain species, includ
ing cod, haddock, pollock and
hake, seem to improve with ab
out three days’ aging.
The studies found the flavor
of these fish tends to be watery,
metallic and starchy right after
they're caught, but they develop
a highly acceptable, sweet and
creamy flavor between three
and nine days out of the water —
if they were properly handled by
the fishermen, wholesaler and
retailer. After that, they become
insipid and evejitually develop
off flavors, the studies found.
Not attending the meeting,
but also running for the candi
dacy are Joe Argis, a plastic
surgeon from Houston, and Bill
Powers, a Navasota busi
nessman.
Of the Democratic candidates
now in the running, Gramm’s
primary opponent is expected to
be Rubiak.
Kubiak, a 14-year veteran of
the Texas House and an unsucc-
cessful candidate last year for
state land commissioner, does
not agree with reports that show
Gramm will be favored in the
upcoming election. He said that
Gentral Texas voters are ready
to dump Gramm because they
reject his “radical” economic
theory.
Gramm is a strong supporter
of Reaganomics and Reagan’s
budget proposals. He was on,e of
the key Congressmen who
helped the president push his
budget recommendations
through the Democrat-
controlled House.
Kubiak accused Gramm of us
ing constituents in the district as
“guinea pigs for his so-called
supply-side economic theory.”
“I am convinced that the peo
ple of central Texas want to re
ject Gramm’s radical economic
theory,” Kubiak said.
Even if voters do not reject
Gramm’s economic theory as
Kubiak predicts, Gramm may
have another problem with the
special election.
The state Democratic Party
last week asked for a ruling on
Gramm’s eligibility to run in the
Feb. 12 election. Party officials
said that because Gramm voted
in the Democratic primary in
May, he cannot run as a Republi
can unlil 10 months after that
date.
The secretary of state’s office
said it would decide by the end
of this week whether Gramm
legally can appear on the ballot
as a Republican before April 1.
Neal said that regardless of
the outcome of the state secret
ary’s decision, Gramm wants the
Congressional post and is willing
to run and campaign for howev
er long it takes.

do what is best for the institu
tions of the state of Texas. I have
ultimate faith that the senators
are going to exercise their own
good judgment.”
Robert Mead, Caperton’s
press secretary, said the senators
probably will take their time
when considering the appoint
ments.
. “Any action on the issue will
probably take place in the first
three weeks of the session,”
Mead said. “There probably will
be no word until after the first
week. This isn’t some issue they
want to rush. These appoint
ments are some of the biggest
and most prestigious appoint
ments that a governor can make.
And the names keep getting big
ger and more prominent.”
One of the most prominent of
Clements’ lame-duck appoint
ments is Clayton, 54. He served
10 terms in the House of Repre
sentatives and four terms as
speaker of the House.
In June 1980, Clayton was in
dicted by a federal grand jury on
charges of fraud, conspiracy,
racketeering and extortion. He
was one of the first four to be
charged in Brilab, the FBI’s 10-
month “sting” operation that
probed corruption among labor
and government leaders in the
Southwest. He was acquitted of
all Brilab charges in October
1980.
Clayton recently donated his
official papers from his terms as
House speaker to Texas A&M
University. He replaces Bell who
had served two terms on the
board. Bell, a political ally of
White, was not expected to be
reappointed.
Halbouty, 73, an indepen
dent oil operator and producer
from Houston, is chairman of
the board of Halbouty Alaska
Oil Co. and has served as an
energy adviser to President
Reagan. In 1977, the Geosci
ences Building was named in his
honor. In 1982, Halbouty don
ated $500,000 to the University,
which was used to establish an
academic chair in geology.
Halbouty was selected to suc
ceed Coleman, a Houston physi
cian and the only black on the
board. Coleman received de
grees from Fisk University in
Tennessee and Howard Univer
sity in Washington, D.C. He was
the only person on Bright’s list
of recommendations to Cle
ments who did not receive a de
gree from Texas A&M.
Sen. Craig Washington, D-
Houston, who was House speak
er pro tem and Clayton’s lawyer
during the Brilab trial, said he
won’t support the regents’
appointments because Coleman
was not reappointed.
Washington also has charged
that Halbouty was named be
cause he made a $100,000 con
tribution to Clements’ cam-
paign.
Bright, who served as Cle
ments’ finance chairman in his
two gubernatorial campaigns,
has said that Halbouty did not
contribute that much to the gov
ernor’s campaign.
The three appointees were
among the five or six candidates
Bright said he had recom
mended to Clements.
“I had some discussion with
Clements on the choices,"
Bright said Monday in a tele
phone interview. “I gave him a
list of five or six, any of which
were acceptable. Five of them
were graduates of A&M. 1 think
it is important that they have
some identification with the
main campus of the system.”
