BBB in Dallas limits advertising numbers for sexy phone calls DALLAS (AP) — New standards by the Better Business Bureau could curb the hundreds of cards being placed in residents’ mailboxes, invit ing them to call “Linda” or “Mon ique” for sexy phone messages. It has been nearly three months since National Marketing, a telecom munications company based in Balti more, started flooding mailboxes with its advertising cards. Although the post office has received more than 600 complaints and Southwes tern Bell just as many calls, the enve lopes have continued coming in. The Better Business Bureau in Dallas decided to step in and force television and direct-mail advertisers to include clear disclosures about charges and to shield children and teen-agers from a telephone number with the 976 prefix that provides the sexually-oriented messages. “We are not determining whether what they do is good or bad, that’s something the market determines,” Bill Beckhart, vice president of trade practices of the bureau, said. “But we want to make sure it is clear to the customer what it is they are getting and how much it is going to cost them. “If they want to dial the number, it is up to them. We just don’t want people to be misled.” Inside the envelope, the cards say “call me anytime,” and discreetly lists the $9 charge in small print. Dallas resident A.L. Johnston re ceived such an envelope in his mail box and initially thought it was an in surance policy, so he decided to call. “It was disgusting,” Johnston said. “I said to myself, ‘Why is this filth in my mailbox?’ ” Under the bureau’s new stan dards, ads for 976 numbers must in clude the name of the company of fering the service and amount charged. Ads directed to minors should state that parental consent should be obtained. In addirion, if calls are suitable for adults only, direct-mail companies should print on the cards that the . . we want to make sure it is clear to the customer what it is they are getting and how much it is going to cost them. We just don’t want people to be misled. ” — Bill Brekhart, vice pres ident of trade practices for the Dallas BBB number should be restricted to per sons 18 years or older. The bureau also suggests that ad vertisers ask 976 companies to sub mit their address, another number that consumers can call for more in formation, length of the call, copy of the script and the company’s ref und policy. Glenn Brook, assistant general manager of National Marketing, said they would adhere to all the new guidelines. “Anything they request us to do, we’ll do it,” he said. “They want the type bigger? We’ll make it bigger. They want phone numbers? We’ll give them phone numbers. “In our approach so far, we’ve done everything by the book, so this is no exception.” Foes of Texas nuclear dump want DOE to deal openly AMARILLO (AP) — State offi cials and opponents of a proposed Panhandle site for a nuclear-waste depository say they are frustrated in their dealings with the U.S. Depart ment of Energy. The latest example is the DOE’s reply to one of many complaints on nuclear dump-site work in Deaf Smith County, said Susan Zimmer man, geologist with Gov. Bill Clem ents’ Nuclear Waste Programs Of fice in Austin. DOE officials said they were not concerned that contractors prepar ing characterization studies could distort the Panhandle site’s merits to get contracts for work on the multi- million-dollar repository project. Zimmerman told the Amarillo Globe-News this is typical of the DOE. “Anytime we bring up a concern, 90 percent of the time they don’t think it’s a concern,” she said. “They feel they know everything.” Along with locations in Nevada and Washington state, DOE chose a nine-square-mile site in Deaf Smith County 35 miles west of Amarillo County in 1986 as a finalist for the nation’s first high-level radioactive- waste dump. Characterization studies of the Panhandle site began earlier this year and are expected to last until the mid-1990s. A final site is ex pected to be selected soon thereafter and opened in 2003. The concern over contractor con flict of interest is the latest in a long line of opponents’ concerns, includ ing: • Landowners of the proposed dump site near Vega for months asked for details on DOE’s plan to buy or lease their land. DOE officials did not provide the information be cause it would “usurp our plans to be flexible,” Jeff Neff, DOE project manager in the Panhandle, said. • The DOE scheduled informa tional meetings with the landowners to fulfill congressionally required consultation and cooperation ses sions. In February, 20 landowners and their families walked out of one such DOE meeting because they said they had no information with which to ask intelligent questions. Two weeks ago DOE released a draft land-acquisition plan that op ponents say is flawed and was issued to garner public support as criticism of the nuclear waste program mounts in Congress. DOE officials countered they were merely follow ing procedure. • DOE officials have touted the economic benefits of site characteri zation work in Deaf Smith County, but they admit most of the workers will live in Amarillo. Also, a signifi cant portion of the workforce will be transferred in or hired from other parts of the country.
