Amendment aims
to protect Texas
from waste dump
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
House committee hearing broke up
Tuesday before Texas Rep. Jack
Fields had a chance to submit an
amendment designed to bar the na
tion’s first nuclear waste dump from
being located in the Lone Star state.
The energy and power subcom
mittee of the House Energy and
Commerce Committee had been
scheduled to consider legislation
that would essentially put the search
for a site for the underground re
pository on hold while an indepen
dent commission was reviewing the
Department of Energy’s efforts tc
date.
But the meeting was called off just
minutes before it was to start after
the subcommittee chairman and
other members learned of an
amendment that Fields was pre
pared to offer, fearing they didn’t
have the votes that were necessary to
stop it.
The Houston Republican’s
amendment is similar to one pen
ding on the Senate floor directing
the DOE to probe the three potential
dump sites sequentially rather than
simultaneously.
But Fields adds language that
would take Texas completely out of
the running and virtually designate
Nevada as the site.
He admitted the measure had
little chance of passage in the House
but said if it passes in subcommittee
it would send a message that the
House is open to more than one ave
nue of action on the nuclear waste is
sue.
The Interior Committee has al
ready passed a bill submitted by its I
chairman, Rep. Morris Udall, D-
Ariz., that calls for an 18-month
moratorium on the search for a re
pository site for a “mid-course cor
rection.”
Fields said, “What concerns me
with the Udall approach is it creates
a commission and that commission
could make any kind of recommen
dation. They could start the whole
process all over again.”
The decision on nuclear waste
policy could be made in a House-
Senate conference on an energy and
water appropriations committee by
passing the relevant committees alto
gether, Fields said.
R.E.M. concert at A&M
replaces Austin stop
in tour across Texas
By Tom Reinarts
Reviewer
It isn’t too uncommon for major
touring bands to leave College Sta
tion off their tour date list when they
pass through Texas, but R.E.M. de
cided to leave Austin off its list for
the current tour and instead will
come to Texas A&M for a concert
Thursday evening at G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
The dB’s, the opening band, will
start the show off at 8 p.m.
Since R.E.M. released its first ex
tended-play record, “Chronic
Town,” on I.R.S. Records, the band
has received support that has been at
times fanatical from critics and col
lege-town audiences, and their al
bums have consistently made the
top-40 charts for record sales.
Their latest record, “Document,”
could be the group’s best-selling al
bum.
One thing that has eluded the
band, however, is a top-selling sin
gle. “Document” has a good chance
of changing that. The first single re
lease is “The One I Love.” The song
slowly is finding a home on several
pop-music radio stations and the vi
deo is played frequently on MTV.
There are several other good
songs on “Document.” “It’s the End
of the World as We Know It (and I
Feel Fine),” “Exhuming McCarthy”
and “Finest Worksong” are three of
the best songs written by the band.
Lead singer Michael Stipe writes
the lyrics. They don’t tell stories as
much as they create moods and they
always complement the instrumenta
tion well. On “Chronic Town” and
“Murmur,” R.E.M.’s first full-length
album, the songs weren’t intelligible,
but as the band released more re
cords, the lyrics became clearer —
even if the meaning of them didn’t.
The other members of the band
are guitarist Peter Buck, drummer
Bill Berry and bassist and keyboard
ist Mike Mills.
R.E.M. has released six albums
and one extended-play record in its
five years of recording, all of them
on I.R.S. Records. “Chronic Town”
firmly established the band as one of
the premier progressive-rock groups
of the 1980s, and its influence on
musical trends in this country is sub
stantial. “Murmur” was an excellent
follow-up to “Chronic Town.”
The next three albums, “Recko
ning,” “Fables of the Reconstruc
tion” and “Life’s Rich Pageant” kept
R.E.M. in a holding pattern on re
cord sales. Also released this year
was “Dead Letter Office,” a collec
tion of b-sides and outtakes. “Docu
ment” could be the album to make
R.E.M. popular with people other
than college students and music crit
ics.
The opening band Thursday, the
dB’s, is a talented band that writes
pop songs without using synthesiz
ers.
The band’s latest album, “The
Sound of Music,” also on I.R.S. Re
cords, is a diverse album with no
weak cuts. Each song is memorable
and enjoyable.
The current lineup for the dB’s
includes Peter Holsapple, the main
songwriter, Will Rigby, Harold Kelt
and Jeff Beninato.
The band has existed for over
seven years and has recorded four
albums. The members also are old
friends of R.E.M. The dB’s will play
for 45 to 50 minutes before the fea
ture performance.
Station to use subliminal ads
against cigarette smoking
DALLAS (AP) — Listeners to ra
dio station KMEZ-FM in Dallas will
get a little more than the usual music
Thursday — a message to refrain
from smoking.
The subliminal messages simul
cast on KMEZ will encourage people
during the American Cancer Socie
ty’s Great American Smokeout to
put out their cigarettes for good.
“It doesn’t say ‘don’t smoke,’ over
and over again,” KMEZ program di
rector Ken Loomis said Tuesday.
“The man is there reasoning with
you why you shouldn’t smoke.”
The eight-minute messages, car
ried four times Thursday by the
easy-listening station, don’t violate
the law because listeners will be told
in advance of the recordings, Loo
mis said. “We’re going to play the

message behind our regular music,
at pre-announced times,” he said.
“We don’t recommend this. We’re
not saying this stuff works. But it’s
something that will draw attention to
the smokeout and maybe convince
somebody to consider stopping.”
The FCC’s policy is that paid ad
vertising that carries subliminal mes
sages is against the public interest,
John Kamp of the FCC’s Washing
ton office said.
“The commission has never ruled
on a (subliminal) socially desirable
message that is not a paid advertis-
ment,” he said. The recorded mes
sage was put together by Potentials
Unlimited in Grand Rapids, Mich.,
Loomis said. The station will run it
at 9:15 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m.
and 3:15 p.m. Thursday.
