The study, which ended last sum mer, tracked a large eddy that was moving westward against the main current, A&M oceanographer David Brooks said. The eddies are energetic currents that move warm salty water into the gulf, Brooks said. Tnese eddies run into the bottom waters and affect how the currents act on the conti nental shelf and slope. Researchers mapped the eddy’s evolution and are using the data to determine the current's history, Brooks said. He said the study will help both Mexico and the United States be cause the countries have many of the same coastline interests. Researchers worked with the Mexican navy since Mexico controls much of the gulf, Brooks said. He said the researchers had to be pre pared to go into international wa ters, and asking Mexico’s help was a good-neighbor policy. The Mexican navy also provided the use of its research ship, the "Al- tair,” which was used along with a smaller ship from Louisiana, Brooks said. Ironically, the Mexican ship is a U.S. vessel on long-term loan to the Mexican navy, he said. Brooks said both countries needed each other in the study; the U.S. had the means to do it, and Mexico had control of the water. “I feel it was an ideal symbiosis in many ways,” Brooks said. “I think both sides are pleased with the re sults." He added that while several meet ings will be held this fall to organize and discuss the results, the final re port is at least a year away. Results of bugging probe to go to grand jury, FBI says AUSTIN (AP) — FBI officials said Monday they plan to present to a grand jury — probably before the Nov. 4 election — results of a probe into the alleged bugging of an aide to Republican gubernatorial candi date Bill Clements. “We’re still plugging along in a very specific direction,” said Byron Sage, agent-in-charge of the Austin FBI office. Asked if the case would reach the Clements, Texas’ first Republican governor in 100 years, is challenging incumbent Gov. Mark White, the Democrat who ousted him after a single term in 1982. Both candidates have denied any knowledge of the bugging. Authorities questioned aides in both campaigns, along with at least one newspaper reporter. Sage said authorities have begun giving lie de tector tests to some people, although he declined to specify to whom. The investigation began Oct. 5, when an electronic listening device was discovered behind a picture in the office of Karl Rove, an Austin- based political consultant working as chief strategist for the Clements campaign. While Clements’ campaign offi cials didn’t blame anyone specifically for planting the matchbook-sized bug, they did say their opponent would have the most to gain. But Mark McKinnon, press secre tary for White, said the Democrat's campaign is blameless. He voiced hope Monday that the case is solved quickly. “We know that nobody associated with the Mark White campaign had anything to do with the matter, and that would leave only one other con clusion," McKinnon said. He said the bugging has dis tracted attention from the real issues of the White-Clements race. "There’s no question about it," McKinnon said. "We were extremely concerned when this whole matter came up because it distracted from the issues. We were pleased with the direction of the campaign and our momentum. We hope there is an im mediate resolution of this (bugging) matter." John Weaver, a Clements cam paign official, said the Republican side also wants a quick resolution of the affair. "We want to get to the bottom of this, just like everybody else," Weaver said. "We're the victims in this whole affair. We're hopeful the FBI and other authorities can find who did this and punish them.” Corpus beaches closed to swimmers DELL CITY (AP)-Ac protesting a proposed b radioactive waste dumpinli; peth County released 1| lium-filled yellow balloon! day to publicize their cause Fhe bright balloons, b 11 from a semi-truck trailei emblazoned with the stano; diation warning symbol,T» them were orange ribbon! said: "This balloon released the proposed radioactiveij| site in Hudspeth Count),:» there been a nuclear aco you would now be coi nated.” A barbecue lunch piJ;, Sunday’s rally, whic' tended by about 50 [ staged on a desolate landsc; miles south of Dell City am 85 miles east of El Paso.Tlio was sponsored by an organ: c alling itself Alert Citizensl vi i on mental Safety (ACES), Organizers said thevb balloons will help draw an to the fact that threepossid f or a radioactive waste dun w a bin 100 miles of downs Paso. “If people don't tbini tion can hurt you, theyou be exposed to it—justalin Mat \ Mosely ofDellCitvsi While undergoing ante N iap\ last summer, Moult |.t fered overexposure to cok p a radioactive isotope.

DI TA TA OI IN CL c A\ I MS t SA i CI1 1 MI AG 2 STi i WE c t NA ( I CO a s FEI h TA 4 DEI ‘Red tide’ CORPUS CllRISTF (AP) — A toxic red fide clinging to the cdastline has moved into Mexican waters and could linger until the year’s end if temperatures do not drop, officials said Monday. The red tide, an explosion of microscopic or ganisms, has killed millions of small fish since it appeared in late August near Galveston to the north. It moved into Mexican water last week. Officials in this city of 250,000 have closed area beaches to swimmers. The oyster harvest, scheduled to open Nov. 1, has been suspended from south of Galveston to the Mexican border. Officials said the red tide’s presence depends on a concentration of organisms, wind direction, wind speed and the water temperature. For now, state officials and businessmen are hoping for a cold front that could kill the red tide. The water temperature has been in the upper 70s, said officials,and it must dip to 60 degrees or lower to hinder the red tide. That, they said, may not occur until mid-December. “And it may be later than that depending on the season,” said Pat Patterson, a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi. Dr. Frank Judd, director of the Pan American University Coastal Studies Laboratory at South could remain for month Padre Island, said the water temperature in far south Texas is still in the 80s. “It needs to get below 60 degrees Fahrenheit and it also depends on what kind of cold front we get," Judd said. “We don’t get any persistent cold weather until late November or December." Hal Osburn, harvest program leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s marine laboratory in Rockport, said an aerial flight to look at the red tide is scheduled for Tuesday. He said the red tide was about one to four miles wide from Port O’Connor to the Mexican border, a distance of about 170 miles. “It could be up to 3,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico that has some red tide in it,” Os burn said. The red tide has killed pinheads, hardheads, catfish, mullets and some large redfish, Judd said. He said the worst day for the red tide was last Thursday when people were coughing and expe riencing irritated eyes and noses because of the toxins. Judd said the red tide has stabilized off the coast, but that local officials are concerned that it will enter the Laguna Madre, a nursery for shrimp, oysters and other fish located between and-’Sc s realh there," nth Padre bland nothing to prevtr: ] udd said.
