ave been ftJffl AUSTIN — House Majority
lists haven Leader Jim Wright said Monday the
>le humantti Hnited States’ three ton priorities
Ineys, foru are reducing the national debt, mak
ing the nation energy self-sufficient
and trimming the trade deficit with
foreign countries.
■ “We have a tendency to rock
along fat, dumb and happy until a
crisis has us by the throat and then
demand instant solution,” Wright
But srientis told the annual meeting of the Texas
Ireeze thuii Independent Producers & Royalty
lamagingj Owners Association.
■ Wright, D-Texas, said he was “not
He last word of authority” on Presi-
ts will ; Reagan’s recent tax proposal,
iman organ added, “You can just he sure
le, great!' whatever it is today, it’s going to be a
of succe'<. [j tt | e ijjf different if and when it
Ironies out of the House.”
hnoloevisB bright prefaced his remarks to
vith medic Je oil and gas producers by saying,
. L ... 1 don t mind one little bit anybody
T . „ telling folks up there (in Washing-
' Hn) anything I’ve done for this in-
r /'7 , 77^ lustry or for this state, because if
'"t*** 1 * I’ve got to hide the fact that I’m a
jEexan in order to become speaker
of the House, then I’m not going to
He speaker of the House.”
H The petroleum producers re
sponded with applause.
H Wright posed the question of
“what are the big things, what are
®ie principal priorities that confront
this country today?”

“The first one, I think most of us
would agree, is that we absolutely
must do something to begin not only
to reduce the annual deficits that
add to the national debt but some
how to begin to reduce the national
debt itself before it consumes us all.”
Following Reagan’s blueprint,
Wright said, would run the debt to
more than $3 trillion by 1988. To il
lustrate the enormity of the debt, he
said if someone had spent $1 million
a day since the birth of Christ, “he
still would not have spent anything
like $ 1 trillion.”
The second major priority, he
said, is to try to make this country
energy independent, which is he
said just as important to our future,
and to our national security as the
economy.
Wright said the third goal would
be to reduce a trade deficit that
could exceed $140 billion this year.
“For the first time in 71 years, we
are a net debtor nation — we owe
more money abroad than is owed to
us by foreigners,” Wright said.
“For American industry to mod
ernize its aging industrial plants and
machinery and make us once again
competitive on world markets, we’re
going to have to develop some sort
of plans where maybe there is a so
cial compact between capital and la
bor.”

NEW ORLEANS — A federal ap
peals court agreed Monday that the
University of Texas had authority to
reassign a graduate student who
claimed the move was retaliation for
political opinions she expressed
while teaching a summer, 1981,
course in American Government.
U.S. District Judge Fred Shannon
had earlier thrown out the lawsuit
filed by Kathleen Kelleher against
President Peter Flawn and other uni
versity officials.
In its ruling Monday, the 5th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Ms.
Kelleher failed to prove, as she
claimed, that her reassignment den
ied rights guaranteed her by the
First and Fourteenth Amendments
to the U.S. Constitution.
The First Amendment guarantees
a citizen’s freedom of speech. The
Fourteenth Amendment protects an
accused’s right to a hearing in a
court of law.
“It is firmly established that the
First Amendment’s shield does not
extend to speech and conduct
amounting to insubordination di
rected at school officials,” said the
5th Circuit.
As for the Fourteenth Amend
ment, the 5th Circuit said Ms. Kel
leher failed to prove “that she was
deprived of a liberty or property in
terest and that she was not afforded
adequate procedural protection
prior to or following the depriva
tion.”
Since she was an assistant instruc
tor without tenure, as well as other
considerations, the appeals court
held “that Kelleher had no such
property right and was therefore not
entitled to a hearing prior to depri
vation.”
Ms. Kelleher resigned and filed a
grievance in 1980 after Government
Department Chairman Charles
Cnudde removed her from the class-
She claimed the removal resulted
from her inviting two homosexuals
to speak to her “Politics of American
Culture” class. Two students had
complained.
13 arrested, $2.6 million seized
in Customs cosh smuggling bust
Associated Press
' MIAMI — U.S. Customs inspec
tors seized $2.67 million and ar
rested 13 people in May in an effort
to cut the drug-money lifeline run
ning from Miami to foreign traffick
ers, officials said Monday.
|- Money smugglers tried to sneak
the cash out of the United States in
teddy bears, cereal boxes and candy
wrappers in an effort to escape de
tection, Customs officials said.
S “We can attack narcotics traffick
ers through seizure of funds nec
essary to maintain their operations,”
said Customs investigation chief
Leon Guinn.
|| Guinn said the Miami effort is
, u part of a nationwide drive to cut off
y-rfr. |h e illegal export of money from the
\j n jt ec i Slates. While the lion’s share
of the national crackdown was found
in Miami, seizures in other cities
brought the May total to $3.4 mil
lion.
Those arrested are charged with
failure to file currency transaction
reports required by the government
to take large amounts of money out
side the country. Most of the money
seized in Miami was bound for Co
lombia and Bolivia.
Miami agents have found cash
concealed in a baby booster seat and
liquid detergent.
In one case they discovered $100
bills, 34 to a roll, inside candy wrap
pers for English Toffee and Tootsie
Rolls.
Guinn said the wrapping was
“professionally done.”
Customs agents also found
$113,400 in gold concealed in
canned goods.
The seizures have ranged from
$21,000 to $405,000.

“We are now continuing our in
vestigation to see if there are hny
links” with known drug smugglers,
Guinn said, but so far the cash sei
zures have not been tied directly to
traffickers.
Some of the cash was found in
commercial cargo and some was dis
covered as a result of “conversations
and encounters” wih outbound pas
sengers by Customs agents posing as
fellow travelers, Guinn said.
He said the program was highly
successful in May and will continue,
but said agents know they are nter-
cepting only a trickle of the flood of
outgoing money.
“1 think we are probably only at
the tip of the iceberg,” Guinn said.
Totals seized in other cities were
Dallas $25,000; New York, $31,000;
and San Antonio, Texas.
