WASHINGTON — The
dean of the Texas congressional
delegation, Democratic Rep.
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-

The USIA, a federal agency
that provides information about
the United States overseas,
sends about 500 speakers
abroad each year, paying their
expenses and sometimes a fee.
A USIA spokeswoman said
5,000 people are suggested for
the speeches each year by em

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!]
