Candidates for the 6th Con-
ressional District seat met
hursday evening at the Brazos
Center for a debate sponsored
by the Republican Women of
Brazos Valley and the Republi
can Party.
Joe Barton, Pat Friedrichs,
Bob Harris and Max Hoyt dis
cussed issues presented by a
panel of representatives from
area news medias. Panel mem
bers Frank May, Roger Lewis,
Jimmy Patterson and Debbie
Ramsey questioned the candi
dates on issues ranging from
balancing the federal budget to
foreign policies. The debate was
moderated by Chris Kling.
Following introductions from
the candidates, the debate be
gan with a question about a de
cision made Wednesday con
cerning one candidate’s
eligibility. Barton admitted that
he had been the candidate in
question, an admission which
brought criticism from the
other candidates.
The candidates said the issue
was an “internal matter” which
would be handled within the
party. Friedrichs and Harris
said they thought the issue had
been settled Wednesday, and
Friedrichs said she felt a “trust
has been violated” by Barton’s
comments.
“We were asked to go no far
ther, but Joe has chosen to go
farther, both here and in The
Battalion,” she said.
The candidates finally went

on to discuss other issues, in
cluding the federal deficit, bal
ancing the federal budget, line
item veto power, foreign poli
cies and prayer in public
schools.
All the candidates said they
favor line item veto power and a
balanced federal budget, “ex
cept in times of national emer-
ugency,” Harris said. All the can-
tdidates said they would not vote
for tax increases to balance the
budget, but they had different
ideas of how to achieve a bal
anced budget.
Harris said he favors a five
percent cut “across the board”
in government expenditures.
These cuts would include a five
percent salary cut every two
years for the president and the
executive branch until the bud
get is balanced, he said.
Hoyt said government subsi
dies, including payments to
milk producers and tobacco
farmers, should be cut to help
balance the budget. Barton said
he favors cutting government
spending. Statistics show that 37
cents of every federal dollar is
wasted, he said. Friedrichs said
that though there is “very little
waste” in the 6th District, waste
fulness in other districts is a
problem that must be dealt with
to help balance the budget.
The candidates had different
opinions about military spend
ing and defense systems. Bar
ton said he views the defense
system as an insurance policy
which deserves an adequate
budget, but he said about $37
million of defense funds could
be saved by better manajt

McCaw cable request OK’d
By KATHLEEN WEST
Reporter
The College Station City
Council Thursday night ap
proved a cable company’s re
quest to build and operate a ca
ble television system in the city.
The council made its decision
after a two-hour discussion
among city council members.
Mayor Gary Haller, a represen
tative from the cable company,
and community residents.
According to the College Sta
tion City Charter, before
McCaw Communications Com
panies, Inc. can begin building
the cable system the council
must approve the franchise two
more times, and then a 60 day
waiting period must be recog
nized. The company then may
begin building the cable system.
David B. Hill, of 2814 Pierre
Place in College Station, ques
tioned several sections of the
proposed cable franchise. Some
of the questions included
whether the company would set
a minimum number of chan
nels, whether the company
would distribute cable radio sig
nals in addition to television sig
nals and whether the company
would follow FCC specifica
tions.
The representative from
McCaw Communications en
sured the council that it was in
the company’s best interest to
offer a variety of channels to
customers. In addition, he said
the company would offer radio
signals plus the television sig
nals. He also said that if FCC
specifications were not followed
the company could lose its right
to operate; therefore, the FCC
regulations would be met Ians
