Visit to pope
by Waldheim
draws protest
Waldo
by Kevin Thom
ROME (AP) — Austrian President
Kurt Waldheim arrived quietly in
Rome on Wednesday, hours after
Jewish activists in Nazi death camp
uniforms protested in St. Peter’s
Square against his audience with
Pope John Paul II.
Waldheim, who has been accused
by Jewish organizations of complic
ity in Nazi war crimes, is scheduled
to meet with the pontiff at the Vati
can on Thursday. It is Waldheim’s
first official visit abroad since being
elected president in July, and the
pope’s decision to permit the audi
ence has angered Israel and Jewish
groups.

Impeach
(Continued from page 1)
Arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci
Airport from Vienna, Waldheim was
greeted by Italy’s chief of protocol,
Emmanuele Scammacca, and Arch
bishop Eduardo Martinez Somalo,
the Vatican’s undersecretary of
state. No statements were made.
Austrian officials have said that
because Italy now has a caretaker
gqvernment there was no request for
a meeting with top government lead
ers. Italian newspapers have called
that explanation an excuse.
The Austrian president pushed
through a pack of reporters and
quickly stepped into a limousine to
be driven to his hotel in Rome.
Outside the Vatican earlier in the
day, four American Jewish activists
and Beate Klarsfeld, a noted Nazi
hunter who tracked down former
Gestapo official Klaus Barbie in Bo
livia, protested the audience. Barbie
is now on trial in Lyon, France,
where he was head of the Gestapo
during part of World War II.
Edwards added, “Our position is,
‘Let’s see if we can get to the bottom
of it. Let’s clear the air.’ ”
The Houston lawmaker said he
told Clements Tuesday that the reso
lution would be filed.
“Naturally he was not excited
about it,” Edwards reported.
Edwards also questioned predic
tions that the uproar would die
down and Clements would survive.
“It may not die down,” he said.
“I’m sure that some others may have
said the same thing. I don’t know
whether Mr. Nixon said that or not.”
The Texas Constitution sets up
the impeachment format but is
vague on specifying impeachable of
fenses. Moreno and Edwards said
Clements can be impeached for his
role in the SMU scandal even
though it happened before Clem
ents took office. Moreno said Clem
ents can be removed from office by
the Legislature for “personal con
duct” that amounts to “unfitness to
hold office.”
The resolution’s fate is unclear. It
will be referred to a committee by
Speaker Gib Lewis, who has said law
makers should not get involved with
impeachment proceedings during
the current special session — called
by Clements to deal with the state
budget crisis.
Moreno said the resolution could
wind up in the House Judiciary
Committee, which is chaired by Rep.
Mike Toomey, R-Houston, and one
of Clements’ strongest supporters in
the House.
Moreno acknowledged that “get
ting this thing out of committee is
going to be difficult because it is a
very politically sensitive issue.”
Among lawmakers discounting
the impeachment talk was Rep. Stan
Schlueter, D-Killeen, who said, “The
only people talking about impeach
ing the governor are the party regu
lars, and we ignore those people
normally."

“Other countries have barred him
(Waldheim),” Klarsfeld said.
“Doesn’t the pope know that by re
ceiving Waldheim he is whitewash
ing his (Waldheim’s) past?”
The Justice Department has bar
red Waldheim from official visits to
the United States, citing evidence
that he helped deport Jews and par
tisans to Nazi death camps.
Waldheim, a former secretary-
general of the United Nations, has
denied any involvement in war
crimes while serving with the Ger
man army in the Balkans during
World War II.
Rabbi Avi Weiss of Riverdale,
N.Y., led the protesters in reading
Jewish prayers and singing songs in
Hebrew, including the Israeli na
tional anthem.
Wearing prayer shawls over rep
lica black and white pinstriped con
centration camp shirts with yellow
Stars of David pinned to the front,
they slowly walked up the steps of St.
Peter’s Basilica.
The group was surrounded by
more than a dozen journalists and
curious tourists.
Weiss said his group planned
larg orotests Thursday along with
representatives of other Jewish and
political organizations.
Posters critical of Waldheim’s visit
were visible along main thorough
fares around Rome. One from the
Italian Communist Party said: “In
Rome . . . President Waldheim is not
welcome.”
The Austrian Embassy issued a
press statement rejecting the allega
tions against Waldheim.

“In spite of this, we’re going to

“We know this. We minimize this

Dan Donohue, spokesman for

also is conducted to determine the
feasibility of any given experiment,
he says.
Once the decision is made to use a
particular experimental model, a
proposal explaining the problem is
composed by the researcher and the
Animal Resource and Research fa
cility and is sent to the University
laboratory animal care committee.
The research facility will purchase
any animal that is requested, Espitia
says, and the facility is obligated to
purchase animals only from a dealer
who is licensed through the agricul
ture department.
Such a dealer must have a certifi
cate and meet certain standards for
the type of animal the dealer sells to
the research facility.
Research animals are bred specif
ically for experimentation, Espitia
says. If an animal activist breaks into
a lab and sets the animals free, they
probably won’t survive in the wild
because they weren’t genetically
bred to survive in natural conditions.
But he says a live animal isn’t al
ways the most convenient way to do
research. In addition to being pur
chased, a live animal has to be main
tained and kept healthy, he says,
which means administering vaccina
tions and periodic examinations.
Also, someone must be paid to
clean the cages and look after the an
imals, Espitia says.
But the benefits from the research
should at least offset any discomfort
felt by the animal, he says.
“The pain and stress to the indi
vidual animal would be kept to the
absolute minimum,” he says, “and
generally, the question is examined
as to what methods and means of an
esthesia would be employed to keep
the stress and pain for every animal
to the absolute minimum.”
The care and treatment of ani
mals is not only of great concern to
the public, but also to the research
community. Nancy Speich, a worker
at the Houston Animal Rights
Team, says that in comparison to
other lab facilities, A&M is one of
the leaders in concern for animal
welfare.
But, Speich says, the Animal
Rights Team doesn’t approve of
A&M’s use of 421 rabbits and 300
rats in 1985, which involved pain
without anesthesia.
“The total number of animals
used at the A&M research facilities
for experimentation of any kind was
55,883,” she says.
Speich says A&M presently is con
ducting experiments with which the
Animal Rights Team disagrees.
For example, A&M researchers
have placed 30 bats in a restraining
box, she says. The bats’ wings are
spread apart and clay is put on the
wings to keep the batsimnxM

Lewis predicts House will vote to increase state sales tax

AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas House next week
will vote to increase the state sales tax to “some
thing in the 6 percent range” and expand it to
cover some services that currently are exempt,
Speaker Gib Lewis predicted Wednesday.
Lewis said the vote for a tax increase of up to
$6 billion would come despite Gov. Bill Clements’
vow to veto any tax increase above the $2.9 bil
lion that could be raised by extending the tempo
rary sales and motor fuels taxes now in effect.
The state sales tax is now 5.25 percent, but will
roll back to 4.125 percent in September if law
makers take no action. Many Texans pay an ad
ditional 2 cents in local and transit taxes.
Lewis was not specific on which exempt serv
ices the tax might be expanded to cover.
“We’ve got about three alternatives we’re
looking at right now,” he said.
The House has tentatively scheduled a debate
Tuesday on a 1988-89 spending bill and a tax
plan to pay for it. The Legislature is meeting in
special session to deal with a projected 1988-89
deficit of up to $6 billion.
After meeting Wednesday with Clements, Le
wis said there was no indication Clements would
stray from his promise to veto a tax increase
above $2.9 billion.
“I gave him some alternatives of what we were
talking about on some things we would be consid
ering’’ to balance the budget, Lewis said.
Earlier Wednesday, Clements told reporters
state leaders are “narrowing the focus” and had
reached no agreement on the budget.
Asked about his tax veto threat, he said, “I
don’t think it’s appropriate for us to get into dot
ting i’s and crossing t’s about what I’ll agree to
and what I won’t. I’m sure some people are talk
ing about (a larger tax bill). I’m not.”
Also Wednesday, the House Approjfj
Committee voted 16-9 for a proposed S '
lion 1988-89 spending plan. The Senate‘j
proved a $39.6 billion budget.
