State Republicans tell White
special session needed now
AUSTIN (AP) - Most of the Re
publicans in the Texas House and
Senate told Gov. Mark White Thurs
day that a special session should be
held this summer to cut state spend
ing now.
“We can’t afford to wait,” Rep.
Fred Agnich, R-Dallas, told a news
conference, saying he spoke for 47
House members and four senators.
White, a Democrat, has said in the
past that a special session is not
needed because the regular session
of the Legislature meets in January
and can consider the state’s dire fi
nancial condition then.
Comptroller Bob Bullock has esti
mated there will be a difference of
$1.3 billion between revenue and
spending by the end of the current
fiscal period.
“Now is not the time to be playing
games with the state’s cash flow,”
Agnich said. “Now is the time for the
state’s leadership to face reality and
redraw our budget to get it in line
with available resources.”
Agnich said the Republican law
makers were suggesting a 30-day
session in June, after the party pri
mary elections and runoffs.
“If we wait until January we will
lose almost a year,” Agnich said.
He said the special session request
had no particular political implica
tions and had not been discussed
with any of the GOP gubernatorial
candidates.
Agnich said that throughout the
state major oil companies and other
energy-related businesses and indus
tries had cut back operations, re
duced overhead and laid off em
ployees to cope with declining
revenues.
“If private industry can react to a
situation like this, why should gov
ernment — which operates on the
taxpayers’ dollars — not do the
same?” he said.
Agnich, who was joined by six
GOP House members at the confer
ence, said the governor’s recent call
for voluntary reduction in state
spending had been met with less
than enthusiastic response.
“It is obvious that the only sure
way of reducing spending is to order
the reduction through the appro
priations process,” Agnich said.
“And, that can only be done in a spe
cial session of the Legislature.”
The request for a special session
was signed by 47 of the 55 GOP
House members and four of the cur
rent six Republican senators.

Larry Ringer and Lynn Mcllha-
ney are vying for College Station
mayoral position being vacated by
Gary Halter.
Ringer, a statistics professor at

tion City Council member from
1976 through 1983. He currently
serves as a member of the A&M Fac
ulty Senate.
Mcllhaney, who has served on the
Council for the previous four years,
said she would be able to put more

does not have a full-time job.

Incumbent Robert C. Runnels will

nels for the Place 2 position. Jones
works for a local law firm.

is the only candidate to file for that
position. Boughton has served on
the Council since 1978.

ber in Place 6 since Mcllhaney, who
currently holds the position, is run
ning for mayor. Dick Haddox and
David Brochu have filed for the po

Search
(continued from page 1)
search or taken to the plane by
TWA’s security chief. The Al-Ah-
ram report did not mention whether
Egyptian officials suspected her of
being a terrorist.
A Cairo airport security official,
speaking anonymously, said earlier
Thursday: “We had no suspicion
about anyone on the (passenger) list.
That plane left here completely
clean.”
An anonymous telephone caller in
Beirut, Lebanon said an obscure or
ganization called Arab Revolution
ary Cells was responsible for plant
ing the bomb. Palestinian sources
familiar with terrorist groups said it
was a new name being used by Abu
Nidal, who the United States blamed
for the Dec. 27 airport massacres in
Rome and Vienna.
Although Washington accuses Li
bya of harboring Abu Nidal, a senior
U.S. official said Thursday that Rea
gan administration analysts did not
believe Liban leader Moammar Kha-
dafy was involved in the TWA
bombing.
If the explosives were planted in a
life preserver, that could explain
why they were not found during se
curity checks conducted during
stopovers.
Capt. Richard F. Peterson, the pi
lot, told reporters in Athens that the
crew inspected some life preservers,
but said, “We only spot-check. . . .
There are 150 of them in the aircraft
so we don’t have enough ground
staff to check all those.”
TWA chairman Carl Icahn said in
New York that he would urge iht
U.S. government to “vigorously sup
port” the airline’s right to suppi:
ment host-country screening withe
own in high-risk areas abroad. I
does not have that right in Rome.
The TWA manager in Romera
not available Thursday, but airpon
sources said a company called Flash-
pol did ground checks for TWA.
A man who answered the Flash-
pol’s telephone, who would not iden
tify himself, confirmed that a secu
rity check had been conducted
before Flight 840 flew back to
Athens.
A police source in Athens said:
“We have a launched a search
around Athens and other cities and
also put out a signal to trace this per
son (Miss Mansur) through Inter
pol.”
