Sarcastic senators
honor contribution
of prairie chickens
AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate on
Tuesday — in a humorous resolu
tion directed at Gov. Bill Clements
— expressed “heartfelt and sincere
gratitude for the contributions of
the prairie chickens of Texas.”
The resolution, on the eve of Sen
ate debate of a proposed state bud
get bill, had, perhaps, an underlying
bite in designating the prairie
chicken as the “official state grouse.”
Clements in an interview with The
Associated Press last week likened
liberal Democratic senators to prai
rie chickens thumping the ground in
opposition to his own more conser
vative spending proposals.
“standing up and fighting, and for
protecting their domain.”
“Many species would be proud to
be included in the prairie chicken
family, if only they were intelligent
enough to appreciate such a distinc
tion,” the resolution said.
Also, the resolution said in refer
ence to the Senate’s proposed appro
priations bill, “there is as much fat in
the state budget as the skin on the
proverbial lips of a chicken.”
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby said, “All in
favor (of the resolution), signify by
thumping. Those opposed thump
twice.
“My antenna tells me the thump
ing period is about over .... Now,
hopefully, we can get down to se
rious business,” Clements said.
Disgruntled senators on Monday
criticized Clements’ use of the
phrase “prairie chickens.”
On Tuesday, the Senate adopted
a resolution by Sen. Ray Farabee, D-
Wichita Falls, that keeps prairie
chickens on a slow boil.
I he resolution noted that one
senator had described prairie chick
ens as “intelligent, vocal, and fru
gal,” and said they were known for
“The single thum|jers have it, the
resolution is adoptee
Clements at a Tuesday news con
ference was reminded that senators
had taken offense at being called
“prairie chickens,” and the governor
laughed and said, “You know,
they’ve been called worse things.”
“They kind of referred to you . . .
as both an ostrich and a rattlesnake,”
Clements was told.
He laughed again and said, “I’m
glad that they haven’t lost their sense
of humor. I have a great admiration
for both (ostrich and snake).”

Mother: Cult is depleting daughter’s fortune
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — An heir to the
Brown & Root Construction Co. fortune is seek
ing to control her wealthy daughter’s estate,
charging a religious group is taking advantage of
the woman and threatens to deplete her fortune.
Nancy Brown Negley Wellin, daughter of
George S. Brown Sr., one of the founders of the
construction giant, charged in a guardianship es
tate suit that her daughter, Leslie Negley, 37, has
given more than $50,000 to members of a group
called the “Remnants.”
Negley’s estate reportedly is worth $3 million,
including hundreds of shares of stock in Exxon,
Pennzoil and Coca-Cola.
Bill Berchelmann, one of Negley’s attorneys,
said he believes she is mentally competent and
knows what she is doing with her wealth.
Negley has been ordered to receive a psychiat
ric evaluation, and a hearing to determine her
competency is scheduled for Wednesday.
In her suit, Wellin charges that the religious
group broke off from a larger organization to
form its own church.
Lisa Ramos, a member of the religious group,
acknowledges accepting expensive gifts includ
ing cars and shopping trips to Dallas.
“Leslie is trying to get out of her family be
cause of how she is controlled and manipulated
by her mother,” Ramos said.
“Her mother always told her to keep her
money for her,” Ramos said. “But Leslie kept
saying, ‘Why can’t I share my money? It’s too
much.’ ”
Among the gifts Negley gave to her fellow
