Jack Brooks, said Thursday he was amused and shocked to learn he was among 84 people blacklisted from the govern ment’s overseas speaking pro gram. U.S. Information Agency Deputy Director Leslie Len- kowsky confirmed Thursday the agency had blacklisted 84 people — including Walter Cronkite, Ralph Nader and Co- retta Scott King — who were suggested for the “American Participation” overseas speak ing program. However, he said he ordered destruction of the list when he learned of it after joining the agency in September and that USIA Director Charles Wick was unaware of the list. Wick has been under fire for secretly taping his telephone calls. Brooks, a 16-term congress man from Beaumont, took to the House floor upon learning his name was on the list —which he called an “arrogant and out rageous power.” “For the record — while I am pleased to be associated with such dignataries as Walter Cronkite and Benjamin Bradlee — as a member of Congress, chairman of the House Govern ment Operations Committee and a member of the Judiciary Committee, I am less than pleased with the existence of such a list and I am more than anxious to discover a detailed explanation as to why the list was compiled in the first place,” Brooks said. Brooks also urged his col leagues who did not make the list “not to give up in a fit of pi que but keep up your Demo cratic values and you too may work your way into a similar exalted circle.” USIA officials said the blackl ist contained names of a num ber of prominent liberals and Democrats as well as more obscure people who apparently had displeased agency bu- Photo by DEASS,[ Henry Havre, junior industrial engi neering major from Brownsville, gauges a machined part in the Thompson Hall machine production lab, while his partner, Laura Ellis, Precision... sophomore industrial engineering major from Killeen looks on.

ARLINGTON — Texans must expect fundamental changes in the stale’s economy from its oil-driven past to a more diversified industrial fu ture, two economists told Li. Cov. Bill Hobby’s select com mittee on Fiscal policy Thurs day. “We can expect the Texas of the 1980s and 1990s to be much more susceptible to U.S. busi ness fluctuations than was the Texas of the 1970s,” said Dr. M. Ray Perryman, professor of economics at Baylor University. Perryman projected a long term rate of expansion in pro duction of goods and services in the state of about 5.3 percent per year during the next two decades. “This pace is well below the oil boom years of the 1970s but we should nevertheless con tinue to exceed the perfor mance of (he U.S. cconoia significant degree,' he said!] "Alth ntigh our stale! needs that must be; bv government,” saki || Boatwright, economic' naioi f oi the l won Co.,Tl 111list protect th existing! .title tax tieatment ofbuai and individuals since I petitive advantage kill !)i| < i casingiv important in Ttf f uture economic growth."
