AUSTIN, — Sen. Lloyd Dog-
gett, D-Austin, Monday intro
duced a bill that would block the
construction of state buildings
that would obstruct the view of
the state Capitol.
“People coming for this year’s
inauguration will still be able to
see the Capitol dome, and I
think it’s important that we take
steps to make sure that will be
true for future inaugurations,”
Doggett said.
The bill would assure that the
view of the Capitol from three
specific locations — the steps of
the University of Texas Main
Building, the LBJ Library and
Waterloo Park — be unob
structed.
Doggett noted that construc
tion of the Texas Employment
Commission building surprised
Austinites and visitors by block
ing the view of the Capitol from
Symphony Square.
“Texans from all over the
state, and particularly those of
us who live in Austin, have
grown increasingly concerned
that the Capitol not be boxed in
from public view,” he said.
Chief Justice Jack Pope of the
state Supreme Court was sche
duled to address the Texas Leg
islature on inauguration eve
Monday, bringing lawmakers
up to date on the progress of the
state’s judiciary.
The state Capitol, meanwhile,
was being prepared for Gov.-
elect Mark White’s inauguration
at noon today.
The Capitol was decked out in
red, white and blue bunting on
the south entrance, and Con
gress Avenue, the inaugural pa
rade route, was lined with Lone
Star flags.
Three large red and blue
striped tents were set up on the
Capitol grounds for the inaugu
ral luncheon after White takes
the oath of office.
Inaugural activities kicked off
Monday night with a $50-a-
person Democratic “Victory
Dinner,” at which country sin
ger Charlie Pride will perform.
Today’s events began with a
“Governor’s Volunteer Break
fast” at 8 a.m. and will climax
inaugural
with three
tonight.
Pope, who was elevated to
chief justice last November by
lame-duck Gov. Bill Clements,
was invited last week by the
House and Senate to present a
“state of the judiciary” address a
joint session.
Clements addressed lawmak
ers last Thursday, and White
will speak to the legislature on
Wednesday.

Sgt. Brad Peevey of the police
tactical unit, one of many squads
combing the city for the bogus
officers, said the counterfeit
cops may by now have enlarged
their numbers beyond two.
“With all the publicity this has
been getting, I wouldn’t be sur-
C rised if there are several goof-
alls out there taking advantage
of it,” he said.
Police Chief William Rodri
guez last week said that a num
ber of officers will be assigned to
patrol the city in plainclothes
acting as decoys, hoping the
thieves will stop them.
“If there’s any doubt, ask to
see his Police Department iden
tification,” the chief said.
“Under the circumstances, no
real policeman is going to object
to that.”
