State politics
Jack Kemp to lead GOP convention in Corpus Christi
United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — Rep. Jac k
Kemp, R-N.Y., a rising stat in the
I Republican Party, will deliver the
keynote address at the Texas GOP
Convention scheduled Sept. 21-22,
state chairman George Stroke an
nounced Monday.
Among other speakers at the con
vention will be Sen. Robert Dole. R-
Kan.; Sen. John lower, R-Texas;
and Rep. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, the
Republican nominee to succeed the
retiring l ower.
Strake told a news conference
Monday he also intends to invite
President Ronald Reagan to come to
Corpus Christi.
Topics to be addressed during the
convention include national defense
as it relates to Texas, the Hispanic
vote, county fund raising and ballot
security.
Despite what polls are showing,
Strake said he was warning Texas
Republicans that the race between
Reagan and Democratic nominee
Walter Mondale would be a close
one in November.
Strake said he had instructed his
staff to put the polls in their desks,
lock them up and throw away the
key so as not to get a false sense of
security.
“I really have seen these polls
come out with wide margins in Sep
tember and narrow to 1 or 2 per
centage points in November, and I
see that happening the same way
again,” he said.
Strake predictred 5,000 to 6,000
people would attend the convention,
including 4,700 delegates.

Barton argues for anti-nuke defense
By ROBIN BLACK
Senior Staff Writer
\ The proposed anti-nuclear missile
defense system — or “star wars”
j weaponry as the Democrats have
duboed it — is the strongest possible
j defense measure that could ever be
| taken in making nuclear weapons
obsolete, 6th Congressional District
candidate joe Barton said Monday.
The Republican candidate was on
another campaign sweep across the
district Monday that began at 7:30
a.m. in Cleburg and ended around
i 6:30 p.m. in College Station at F.as-
I terwood Airport.
; Barton was defending the pro
posed weapons system as the
keystone issue of his campaign — an
issue which has both parties strongly
; advised.
! Campaigning with Barton was re
tired Army Maj. Gen. Stewart
Meyer, an expert in the field of de
fense, especially where the High
Frontier — or outer space weapons
— is concerned.
Meyer said that although the
Democrats have attached the “star
wars” name to the anti-missile sys
tem in a degoratory manner, he
doesn’t see it that way.
“If there ever has to he a World
War III, I would much rather fight
in space than on the face of the
earth,” he said.
The defense system — which
must still go through many phases of
research and development before it
would he operational — is a satellite-
based system that would destroy nu
clear weapons in space before they
reached their target.
Meyer said that if the Soviets were
to launch an ICBM aimed at the
United States, it would he in the air
over the Soviet Union for about five
minutes, It would then enter space
for about 25 minutes, the warhead
would separate from the rocket and
re-enter the earth’s atmosphere.
The missile would strike its target
within one minute after re-entry.
The ICBM cannot be recalled once
launched.
If the new anti-missile system was
made operational, it would destroy
the nuclear warhead while in space,
destroying it before it re-entered the
atmosphere.
Barton said that if the system was
put into production within the next
year, some things could be done
soon — dispatching more missiles —
and some things would take a little
longer — the actual satellite-based
part — because of the research that
must still he done.
Estimated cost for the system be
tween now and the year 2000 is
around $90 billion. That is equiva
lent to the projected costs of the B-l
bomber, the Trident submarine and
the MX missile combined.
Barton said the premise behind
his position is that mutually assured
survival is a more effective deterrent
than the antiquated mutually as
sumed destruction.
He said that if the Soviets realize
the possibilities of such a system, that
may be enough to get them to the
bargaining table about the nuclea-
arms race.
“I think this system is necessary to
protect the lives of Americans and to
ensure the safety of our children,”
he said.
Barton said plans for a debate be
tween him and Kubiak are still in the
planning stages.
