County official lobbies
for nuclear waste dum
AUSTIN (AP) — Andrews County is eager to be con
sidered as the site for Texas’ first low-level nuclear
waste dump, a lobbyist for the county said Tuesday.
Former House Speaker Bill Clayton made the pitch
for Andrews County, northwest of Midland-Odessa, at
a meeting of the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Disposal Authority.
Clayton’s presentation could be viewed as having a
dual purpose since he also represents El Paso County,
which filed suit earlier this year to stop a possible nu
clear waste site in the adjoining county of Hudspeth, of
ficials said.
Executive Director Lawrence Jacobi Jr. said the staff
had highly recommended a site in Hudspeth County,
11 miles northeast of Fort Hancock.
El Paso County then obtained an injunction to block
selection of the site, Jacobi said, and trial is set for Dec.
7.
“We’re just on hold,” Jacobi said. “It really upsets the
staff to have to sit down and just wait, but unfortunately
we’re under injunction and have to obey the law.”
Jacobi spoke with a reporter at the conclusion of a
two-hour board meeting that included a one-hour pri
vate session on litigation.
Clayton said agency staff had met at Andrews with
the county judge, mayor, school superintendent, cham
ber of commerce representatives and newspaper editor.
“There was a unanimous approach by the whole
county trying to attract” a low-level facility, Clayton
said.

Defense attorney
attacks transcript
of trial’s testimony
BROWNSVILLE (AP) — The
lead defense attorney attacked the
credibility of a grand jury transcript
central to the aggravated perjury
trial of Mayor Emilio Hernandez,
who was indicted in a Texas Rang-
ers-led probe of city government.
Defense attorney Rey Cantu ob
jected to use of the transcript from
January grand jury testimony, but
District Judge Darrell Hester al
lowed its admission into evidence.
Cantu questioned the qualifica
tions of court reporter Bill Briggs.
The defense attorney also pointed
out errors and ambiguities in the
transcript, depending on how one
would interpret its punctuation.
A hung jury in July caused a mis
trial the first time the perjury case
was tried. In that trial, the jury dead
locked at 7-5 in favor of acquittal.
The state alleges that Hernandez
lied to a grand jury when he said he
did not buy billboard advertising for
the 1985 re-election campaign of a
former city commissioner.
Hernandez voluntarily testified in
January before the grand jury,
which was looking into allegations of
wrongdoing in city government.
Judge Hester last month denied a
change-of-venue motion by Special
Prosecutor Sharon MacRae, who
had maintained that the mayor’s in
fluence prevented the state from
getting a fair trial.
Juan Gonzalez, district sales man
ager with Browning Ferris Indus
tries, which was trying to win a gar
bage contract with the city in 1985,
testified that Hernandez told him
that the Jesse Sloss campaign needed
$3,000-14,000 in cash for billboards,
but that the mayor did not ask him
for it.
Cantu questioned the credibility
of Gonzalez’ previous testimony, and
asked him if Hernandez and Sloss
embarrassed him in front of two BFI
executives by refusing contributions
from BFI’s political action commit
tee.
The mayor in June was acquitted
of a felony theft by a public servant
charge stemming from the probe,
but still faces a bribery trial.

In an interview conducted in Ha
