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

farmers out of business last

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.

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
