Gramm says
Daggett lacks
Texas values
By JAMES WALKER
Staff Writer
Accusing his challenger of op
posing traditional Texas values,
Congressman Phil Gramm
charged state Senator Lloyd Dog-
gett with “representing a philoso
phy that is alien to the average
Texan.” In a Wednesday morn
ing new's conference at Republi
can Party Headquarters in Bryan,
Gramm addressed the issues of
labor, defense, taxes and homo
sexual rights.
“My opponent (Doggett) ...
said to them (AFL-CIO) that one
of his tw'o goals if he were elected
to the Senate would be to get as
much as he could for labor,”
Gramm said. During the primary
season, Gramm said, his oppo
nent received a quarter of a mil
lion dollars from eastern labor
union political action committees.
Gramm reiterated his support
for right-to-work laws, saying no
Texan should be forced to join a
union or pay dues in order to
work in the state.
He also accused Doggett of be
ing “anti-defense” for accepting
$74,000 from the Council for a
liveable World, a Boston-based
organization.
“This group pointed out that
my opponents views are normally
found in candidates running in
Massachusetts or California, and
not candidates running in
Texas,” Gramm said.
He also criticized Doggett for
actively soliciting the support and
financial backing of gay and les
bian activists. He has “committed
to support their ... so-called gay
rights bill that would give homo
sexuals special status before the
law and affirmative action,”
Gramm said.

Maybe it was just a coincidence
that Wendy Gramm, wife of Sen
atorial candidate Phil Gramm,
spoke at a dinner that happened
to be in the Senate Room at the
Aggieland Inn Wednesday night.
As guest of honor at the Re-
E ublican Women of Brazos Val-
ly membership kickoff, she dis
cussed her experiences as
Director of the Bureau of Eco
nomics of the Federal Trade
Commission.
“The FTC was one of the most
out of control agencies in the gov
ernment” when Reagan was
elected in 1980, she said. In fact,
in 1979 Congress closed it for sev
eral days, she said.
When Gramm became direc
tor, almost 50 percent of the anti
trust cases were being turned out
of court, incurring substantial
costs on taxpayers. She attributed
this to poorly supervised attor
neys who were eager to bring
cases to court. Since then, Gramm
said, a cost benefit analysis system
has been imposed to ensure that
cases are actually worth bringing
to court.
“We have 30 percent fewer re
sources than when we started,”
Gramm said. Progess was made
despite the high number of Car
ter appointees still in the agency,
she said.
“We need another four years
so that the changes that we have
made slowly but surely will be
continued and so that we have
more Reagan appointees,” she
said.
Gramm said that she has had a
first hand opportunity to witness
the strides made by Reagan in
promoting women’s rights. A for
mer member of the Inter-Agency
on Women’s Business Enterprise,
she said “the Republican Party
and this President are at the fore
front of really working for equal
rights for women.”
She named several women
who, through the party, have be
come the first women to hold cer
tain positions. These included the
first female Supreme Court Jus
tice, Sandra Day O’Connor, the
first to be secretary of Housing
and Urban Development, Carla
Hill, and the first woman named
ambassador to the United Na
tions, Jean Kilpatrick.
“It will be really great when the
day comes that nobody will pay
attention when there is a woman
going up in the space shuttle,
when it’s no longer a big deal,”
she said. “That’s when we will
have arrived.”

East Bypass discussed
The College Station City Council
met Wednesday in a 5 p.m.
workshop to discuss the status of
East Bypass overpasses with Texas
Department of Highways and Public
Transportation officials.
In tonight’s regular session at 7
p.m. in City Hall, the council is ex
pected to discuss the state-funded
extensions of Holleman Drive, Dart
mouth Street and FM 2818. The
council also will discuss the laning of
Holleman between Winding and
Wellborn roads.
The road is currently four-laned
in that area. The council is expected
to consider whether to convert it to
two lanes with a continuous turn
lane.
The council will designate Octo
ber “Texas Restaurant Month” as
well as “Clean Up and Spruce Up
Month,” and it will consider four re
zoning requests.

Explosion wrecks consulate
United Press International
NEW YORK — A single terrorist
group using different names may be
responsible for a powerful explosion
at the South African consulate as
well as 13 other bombing attacks, in
cluding one on the U.S. Capitol last
fall, the FBI said Wednesday.
The 12:23 a.m. explosion rocked
the 33-story skyscraper on Park Ave
nue in Manhattan, caused extensive
damage to seven floors and dev
astated the 12th floor that housed
the South African consulate.
No one was injured in the explo
sion.
No one has been killed or injured
in the 13 other blasts in the New
York area and in Washington since
December 1982.
A group calling itself the Guerrilla
Resistance claimed responsibility for
the Wednesday blast. Kenneth Wal
ton, deputy assistant director of the
FBI, said the group is an American
terrorist organization protesting
apartheid in South Africa.
FBI spokesman Joseph Valiquette
said the Guerrilla Resistance may be
one in the same with three other ter
rorist groups.
He said the FBI and New York
police were investigating the possi-
oility that The United Front, the
Armed Resistance Unit, the Revolu
tionary Fighting Group and the
Guerrilla Resistance may all be iden
tical.
“The only reason we can deter
mine for these different names
would be to confuse the various law
enforcement agencies investigating
the cases,” Valiquette said.
Walton said the FBI linked the
four groups through “the targets,
the rhetoric, the M.O. (method of
operations) and the symbolic nature
of all the attacks.”
The building bombed Wednesday
was damaged extensively inside. The
bomb ripped out thick concrete walls
and tore plumbing and electrical fix
tures from the walls.
First word of the impending blast
was telephoned to a maintenance
worker in the building at 12:13 a.m.
