Page 6/The Battalion/Friday, April 20, 1984 What /hould Kubiak says deficit cut is top priority on his list By LYNN RAE POVEC Reporter m V iS >40? >20? >12? supcicuts Democratic congressional candidate Dan Kubiak told a group of Aggies at a luncheon here Thursday that shrinking the federal deficit tops his list of prioritites. Kubiak, who is seeking the 6th District seat being vacated by Phil Gramm, said he would need help to accomplish that. “People will tell you in politi cal life, ‘I’m the one,’” Kubiak said. “They’re wrong. You can not do anything without the help of others.” To make sure he has help, Kubiak wants to establish an ad visory board of experts to re search proposed legislation for him. Members of the board would be knowledgeable in a variety of areas, among them education on the primary and secondary level, trade, and the federal budget. “I can be a better congress man by informing not only my self, but others,” Kubiak said. Kubiak spent almost an hour answering questions from mem bers of the Political Science So ciety, Pi Sigma Alpha, and Young Democrats. Kubiak said he wants to cut President Reagan’s payment-in kind farm program, which Ku biak says put more than 19,000 theijTc ohuou/ The Coat Everyone's Talking About! Genuine -jfr. GHOST RIDERS.

He said he would then use the funds allocated for that pro gram to increase funding for agricultural research which, he said, would benefit Texas A&M. “For every dollar that you put into research, we have found that you get $5 back,” Kubiak said. “That’s what you leave for future generations.” In response to a question about United States policy in Central America, Kubiak said the problems in Central Amer ica are of four types: military, economic, educational and po litical. < Photo by DEASSAm Press conference Henry Kissinger, left, and Alexander Haig confer with each other just prior to the start of their Thursday afternoon press conference in the MSC. Witnesses testify against De Lorean United Press International LOS ANGELES — John De Lorean, desperate to regain control of De Lorean Motor Go. and its exotic gull-winged sports car, gladly made a pact with un dercover federal agents to pump narcotics money into the ailing firm, witnesses testified Thursday. De Lorean’s enthusiasm was so great that he discussed a long-term drug trafficking compact that would begin after he wrested his Northern Ire land car company from receiv ership, witnesses testified. FBI agent Benedict Tisa, who posed as a corrupt banker willing to handle money gener ated by multimillion-dollar drug transactions, testified that during his investigation of De Lorean the auto maker agreed to accept $50 million from a major drug trafficker and laun der it through his auto com pany. With that done, Tisa testi fied, De Lorean planned to go into the drug business himself in partnership with yet another underworld figure who— un known to De Lorean — had be come an FBI informant. The testimony came during the second day of De Lorean’s two-month trial in U.S. District Court. A federal grand jury in October 1982 indicted him on nine felony charges. He has been free on $10 million bail. On Thursday, De Lorean sat attentively with his elbows on the defense table and his clenched fingers lightly touch ing his pursed lips. Christina Ferrare, his fashion model wife, sat in the crowded spectators section, exchanging occasional glances with bis band as prosecutors plait 38-minute video tapeofDflj rean discussing possible: deals with Tisa.
