Texan donors
say PAC aid
to Contras OK
DALLAS (AP) — Texans who do
nated to an endowment fund and
two political action committees led
by fund-raiser Carl Channell said
they are not upset that money from
the fund provided military help to
the Nicaraguan Contras.
“I just believed and had confi
dence in that man (Channell), and
still do, and knew he would use it to
help those people,” said Mary Jo
Pentecost, a rancher in the West
Texas town of Robert Lee.
She contributed $3,500 to the
PACs and an undisclosed sum to the
endowment fund.
Channell pleaded guilty Wednes
day in Washington to one count of
conspiracy to defraud the federal
government by using money from
his tax-exempt National Endowment
for the Preservation of Liberty to
provide military help to the Nicara
guan rebels.
The money was supposed to be
used to promote conservative for
eign policy goals through public ed
ucation.
The fund was also an umbrella for
two political action committees: the
American Conservative Trust and
the Anti-Terrorism American Com
mittee. The charge against Channell
did not mention either committee.
“I didn’t know if anything I ever
gave went for arms or not,” Pente
cost said.
Some contributors to the endow
ment fund said they support the
Contras and they didn’t ask how
their donations were spent.
John Ramsey Jr., a Wichita Falls
geologist who said he gave more
than $100,000 to the endowment
fund and another unrelated fund
said, “You know, it didn’t matter.”
“They needed the money,” said
Ramsey, who says he knows Chan
nell and has gone to the White
House for a briefing on Central
America. “There were a lot of things
to use it for, and I didn’t care. ... If I
could have done it legally, I would
have given military weapons. That
doesn’t bother me.”
Maxwell Clampitt, president of
Dallas-based Clampitt Paper Co.,
said he contributed to several con
servative organizations. Federal
Election Commission reports as of
January show Clampitt gave $200 to
the American Conservative Trust in
1985 and $ 1,000 to the PAC in 1986.
“I’ve got so many people coming
in here for donations I don’t remem
ber them all,” Clampitt said. “At the
time I know I was convinced it was a
good cause.”

TORN1LLO (AP) — Officials
scrapped a plan asking parents to
punish children for speaking Span
ish at school after federal and state
agencies said the campaign violated
civil rights, authorities said Thurs
day.
The Board of Trustees also
dropped a Feb. 18 requirement that
teachers in the Tornillo Indepen
dent School District speak to stu
dents in English only, school super
intendent Francis Brooks said.
Brooks said two representatives
from the Texas Education Agency
were in Tornillo Wednesday and
spoke to him before the board held a
special session Wednesday night. He
also received a telephone call from
the Civil Rights Division of the U.S.
Department of Justice.
“The Justice Department just said
there was a chance it could violate
civil rights, but they recommended
we withdraw that action,” said
Brooks, who presented the recom
mendations to the board.
The TEA’s guidelines prescribe
that the agency look into similar ac
tions by school districts, TEA
spokesman Terri Anderson said.
The agency also is charged with po
licing a 19/1 federal court desegre
gation order and investigating possi
ble civil rights violations.
“If they refused (to accept TEA
recommendations to drop the plan),
it could come down to an order,”
Anderson said.
Mexican-American children once
were paddled in Texas for speaking
Spanish in school.
On approval from the board,
Brooks had sent 370 letters April 22,
one for each child in the school dis
trict, asking parents to discipline
children caught speaking Spanish at
school.
The letter, which parents were
asked to sign, also said the
agreement was voluntary.
