Settlement
Hearing set for $750 million
nuclear project lawsuit
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Public Utility
Commission on Tuesday s.et a Jan. 6
hearing to determine whether the
proposed $750 million settlement of
the South Texas Nuclear Project suit
is a good deal for ratepayers.
“The mere fact that $750 million
is a great deal of money,” PUC
Chairman Phil Ricketts said, “should
not cause us to presume at all that
this settlement necessarily compen
sates ratepayers for the cost over
runs at the South Texas Project.”
The hearing also will look at the
“prudency” of costs incurred at the
troubled power plant before Brown
8c Root Inc. was fired as engineer
and builder in 1981. Consumers
cannot be charged for costs deemed
imprudent.
Under the proposed settlement,
Brown & Root and its parent com
pany, Halliburton, would pay $750
million to Houston Lighting 8c
Power, Central Power 8c Light, City
Public Service of San Antonio and
the city of Austin. The utilities and
cities sued Brown & Root, alleging
mismanagement.

not a major delay,” he said.
Ricketts said the commission’s fi
nal decision probably would come
next March. Under his proposal, ap
proved by the commission, the Jan
uary hearing also will include ex
pected requests from HL&P and
CP&L to pass STNP costs on to con
sumers.
“We are not in any way making
any presumptions about the rea
sonableness of what the petitioners
are requesting,” Ricketts said of the
request filed by HL&P and CP&L.

Study: state economy
expected to improve
significantly in 1986
Associated Press
HOUSTON — The Texas econ
omy will grow significantly this year
ana in 1986, with considerable gains
in industrial production, employ
ment, retail sales and international
commerce, according to a report re
leased Tuesday.
The state can look forward to a
bright economic future partly be
cause of its low tax rates and interest
in research and development,
according to Texas Facts and Fig
ures, a statistical report released an-
nually by Texas Commerce
Bancshares Inc.
“The longterm outlook for Texas
looks exceptionally promising,” said
Carol Bennett, vice president and
economist for Texas Commerce.
“Texas is still the most attractive
state in the nation for new industrial
activity.”
Last year, retail sales in Texas to
taled $95 billion, falling behind only
Calfornia sales of $155.6 billion,
according to the Houston-based
bank’s report.
Bennett said the retail outlook in
Texas continues to be bright, with
sales expected to exceed $ 100 billion
this year for the first time and rising
to more than $150 billion by 1990.
Industrial production in Texas
rose 10 percent last year and should
increase 6 percent this year and 4
percent in 1986, she said.
tion of the space industry will play
an important role in economic
growth.
Contributing to the city’s recovery
are an increase of new plants and
manufacturers in the area, growing
international commerce and com
mercialization of space.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area,
construction is the only industry that
is not expected to grow significantly
in 1985, according to the bank study.
Sales in the area will increase to $35
billion this year, compared to $23
billion in 1984.
Wholesale trade will continue to
be important to growth in Dallas,
where 25,000 manufacturers do
business and buyers spend $7 billion
each year.
San Antonio also can expect to
grow over the next several years be
cause of land availablity, a low cost of
living and a productive labor force,
Texas Commerce predicts.
The medical industry will be San
Antonio’s primary source of growth,
according to the report. The Univer
sity of Texas last year announced
plans to set up an Institute of Bi
otechnology in the city and the
Texas Research and Technology
Foundation, a private agency, was
established there last year.
Houston’s economic outlook is
particularly good because of the
city’s link with the space program,
Texas Commerce President Beall
said. He added that commercializa-
