Bentsen tells
plants to stay
near border
EL PASO (AP) — Twin plants will
continue to draw political support as
long as they stay near the border, a
point the United States needs to
stress in economic talks with Mexico,
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen said Monday.
The senator said he is optimistic
the two countries will agree on a
framework for trade negotiations to
begin next year. On the agenda for
the talks next month are Mexican li
censing and investment require
ments that the United States consid
ers to be trade barriers, said
Bentsen, chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee.
Although twin plants, also known
as maquiladoras, will not be on the
agenda, Bentsen said he will urge
U.S. negotiators to discuss the sub
ject. Under the twin plant concept,
U.S.-made components are assem
bled in Mexico, and the finished
products are shipped back to the
United States for distribution. The
Mexican minimum wage is about
$22 a week.
“One of those areas I’m stressing
very strongly to the negotiators is
that the point must be very clearly
made to the Mexican government
that we can continue to get the kind
of political support necessary for
maquiladoras, so long as they’re lo
cated along the border,” Bentsen
said.
Opponents of twin plants contend
that tne factories contribute to the
trade deficit by luring manufactur
ers into Mexico to take advantage of
lower wages. Supporters counter
that maquiladoras prevent manufac
turers from moving to Asia or South
America.
The senator said he has heard no
indication from the Mexican govern
ment that it would encourage more
plants in the interior, but Bentsen
said it would be a good idea to for
estall any such suggestion.

Mandatory drug testing sought
for jobs involving public safety
AUSTIN (AP) — Mandatory
drug testing should be considered
for occupations in which public
safety could be jeopardized by drug
abuse, Paul Eggers, the chairman of
the Governor’s Task Force on Drug
Abuse, said Monday.
Eggers said he does not favor
drug testing for all workers, only
those whose jobs could affect public
safety, such as pilots, engineers and
air traffic controllers.
He also rejected criticism that
mandatory drug testing might be an
invasion of privacy.
“We cannot have this drug use in
areas that endanger lives and say,
‘Oh my, we just can’t do anything
with those boys and girls because we
may invade their privacy,’ ” he said.
Eggers spoke at a news confer
ence called to announce that the
Texans’ War on Drugs had been
named one of 20 outstanding anti
drug programs nationwide.
Eggers said one of the War on
Drugs’ projects has been to work
with business executives on how to
handle drug abuse problems among
their employees.
“The idea is not to get there and
punish them, but to help them, get
help for them,” he said.
Eggers said that many companies
have started successful drug rehabil
itation programs, adding that such
treatment has many benefits.
“Where they have done this, the
morale of the rest of the employees
who don’t use drugs goes up,” Egg
ers said. “And the executives of the
business like it: the bottoi:
their profits go up. Thisikb I
use of drugs is just hare
place of business.”

Students say officer’s identity was know
MIDLOTHIAN (AP) — Midlothian High School stu
dents say they guessed that new senior William Moore
was an undercover officer because he tried too hard to
fit in.
The officer, George William Raffield Jr., was found
in a field Saturday shot twice in the head with a .38-cali-
ber revolver. Authorities said they believe the shooting
happened after his true identity was discovered.
Two students, one 16 and the other 17, were arrested
after the officer was found, Police Chief Roy Vaughn
said. A 23-year-old Midlothian woman was released
from Ellis County jail on bond. She is charged with hin
dering apprehension and prosecution, a Class A misde
meanor, in the case, Vaughn said.
A juvenile hearing held Monday was
media and court officials would not released®
because the case involves minors.
