supplies and forestry products as
areas in which American companies
could compete successfully if they
were let into the market.
The prime minister stressed the
urgency of the trade issue with a
candor that is rare in Japanese poli
ticians.
He called on “every one of our cit
izens to please buy foreign prod
ucts.” He said that if each of Japan’s
120 million people bought $100
worth of foreign goods, the trade
surplus could be cut by $ 12 billion.
Nakasone, 66, used charts and
graphs to illustrate his argument
that Japan’s tariffs are among the
lowest in the world but that the Japa
nese people spend far less per per
son than Americans and Europeans
on foreign manufactured goods.

He praised President Reagan for
defending free trade, and said it was
his “intense desire that nothing hap
pen to injure the foundation of
friendly U.S.-Japan relations.”
Vice President George Bush said
in Washington that Nakasone’s ap
peal “took a good deal of courage,”
but added: “What’s important ... is
what follows on, what actually hap
pens in terms of access to market.”
At the State Department, spokes
man Edward Djerejian said the prin
ciples enunciated “are commenda
ble, especially those which recognize
that drastic change of the Japanese
trading system is needed in order to
discharge Japan’s international re
sponsibilities and strengthen the
world trade system.”
Herbert Hayde of Burroughs Co.,
president of the American Chamber
of Commerce in Japan, called Naka
sone’s remarks “very significant,
precedent-setting.”

I AUS'l IN — Some 75 bills have
been introduced in the Legislature
t|) deal with various aspects of haz
ardous waste management, but a
member of a governor’s task force
savs lawmakers don’t have the one
that’s needed.
1 R. Kinnan Coleman of the Gover
nor’s Task Force on Hazardous
Waste Management says he is hope
ful that a comprehensive bill will yet
| be proposed to deal witli what has
become a serious problem.
There are people within all of
the interest groups that are meeting
aid trying to come up with a com
prehensive bill and I am optimistic
■bout that,” Coleman said.

site closes and establishing financial
responsibility for the site. The de
partment also prohibits disposal sites
near aquifers.
Coleman said a state regulatory
plan should “create a system where
you have a set of rules and regula
tions that you have to go through.”
“Once you’re through that proc
ess, you can’t be shot down by a
county commissioner’s court or
other local county entities,” he said.
“The state ought to have one haz
ardous waste program.”
The same techniques used to get
good air and water quality standards
in the state should apply to hazard
ous waste sites, Coleman added.
Coleman, an environmental attor
ney with the law firm Brown, Maro-
ney, Rose, Barber Sc Dye in Austin,
said most companies handle their
waste on site but “vitually everyone
has to ship off site. I am aware of no
company that handles all waste on
site.”
A public hearing Tuesday before
the House Environmental Affairs
Committee heard testimony on seve
ral bills pertaining to hazardous
waste. All were referred to subcom
mittees, said committee chairman
Rep. Fred Agnich, R-Dallas.
A bill by Reps. David Hudson, D-
Tyler, anti Debra Danburg, D-Hous-
ton, would prohibit locating hazard
ous waste facilities in unsuitable
areas, would prohibit permits for
new landfills if other alternatives ex
ist, and would allow local govern
ments to restrict the location of fa
cilities in certain areas.
Another bill by Rep. Stan
Schlueter, D-Killeen, would establish
state policy on preferred hazardous
waste management methods and
strengthen the authority of state
agencies in dealing with problems
surrounding hazardous waste sites.
The Sierra Club has endorsed the
Hudson-Danburg bill as is and backs
Schlueter’s bill with some changes.
“Taken together, the passage of
the two bills would represent a major
strengthening of the state’s hazard
ous waste regulatory program,” the
Sierra Club said in a written
statement.
An estimated 2,400 registered
Texas generators produce approxi-
matley 23 million tons annually of
industrial and other commercial
hazardous waste, the task force re
ported. About 25 percent of all haz
ardous materials in Texas are gener
ated in the Golden Triangle area of
southeast Texas, Coleman said.
Texas prison
stabbings
continue
Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE — The Texas
Department of Corrections has
spent about $400,000 on methods
of preventing stabbings among
the prison inmates, but there still
have been 73 stabbings so far this
year.
TDC spokesman Charles
Brown said Monday that the
prison system’s 10 fatal stabbings
are eight more than had occurred
at this time last year, but that the
number of non-fatal stabbings
has declined.
In 1984, there was a total of
404 non-fatal stabbings, with an
average of 33.6 reported each
month.
In 1985, there were 21 non-fa
tal stabbings in January, 24 in
February, 21 in March and seven
so far in April.
Brown said TDC has spent
$283,307 on body alarms for
guards and on walk-through and
hand-held metal detectors.
