Dukakis’ campaign chairman
requests energy issue debate
AUSTIN (AP) — The chairman
of Michael Dukakis’ Texas cam
paign, charging that the Republican
administration has ignored energy
industry problems for eight years,
Tuesday challenged his counterpart
in the George Bush campaign to de
bate the issue.
Responding, a spokesman for
Bush’s Texas effort said the chal
lenge would be reviewed and added,
“When it comes to energy, Michael
Dukakis may as well come from the
planet Mars.”
Railroad Commissioner John
Sharp, Dukakis’ Texas chairman,
said he wanted to debate his candi
date’s position with former congress
man Tom Loeffler, co-chairman of
Bush’s campaign.
“For eight years the Republicans
have ignored the problem of enegy-
producing states like Texas, hoping
they will go away. They’ve let our lo
cal economies be destroyed. They’ve
let more than 3,000 rigs shut down.
They’ve let people lose their jobs,”
Sharp said.
“We owe it to the people of Texas
to present our respective candidates’
views on energy and bring this issue
to the forefront of the campaign in
Texas,” Sharp added during a cam
paign stop in Longview.
Reggie Bashur, Bush’s deputy
Texas campaign manager, said such
a meeting would be no contest.
“John Sharp needs to talk to his
candidate and ask why he has sup
ported a windfall profits tax, why he
has been against the decontrol of
natural gas, why he has been in favor
of the control of oil prices and why
he did not know what a rig count
was,” Bashur said.
“He (Dukakis) has been until this
election year a typical, anti-energy
EDS claims Perot
liberal from the Northeast,” Bashur
charged.
Sharp, in an open letter to
Loeffler, said he thought both cam
paigns understand the importanc of
energy issues to Texans.
“I know you agree that devel
oping a national energy policy is a
top priority for Texas,” Sharp told
Loel Her.
“I am confident that Mike Duka
kis and Lloyd Bentsen are addres
sing this issue and are telling Texans
about the energy policy they would
develop for this country. Since
George Bush refused to addressj
energy forum in Houston lastly
Texans have vet to hear hon :
stands on this critical issue,”$lu
wrote.
But Bashur said Texans are*;
aware of Bush’s energy policies.
“George Bush is pro-energy,"j
campaign aide said. “He comes(.
of the T exas oilfields, where 1
stated a business in 1948. Andl(
ans know George Bush will fort
national energy policy that wills^
lize oil prices.”
Dallas residents
work to preserve
city’s landmarks
violated contract
DALLAS (AP) — Electronic Data
Systems Tuesday filed suit against
former chairman Ross Perot, claim
ing he is violating an agreement
made when he left EDS not to com
pete in the same markets as his old
company.
The suit, filed in a Fairfax, Va.,
circuit court, seeks an order enforc
ing a December 1, 1986, agreement
in which Perot said he would not
compete with EDS for three years,
EDS spokesman Bill Wright said.
“We are asking the court to ask
Perot to honor this contract,” Wright
said.
The alleged violations include
Perot’s proposal earlier this year to
automate the U.S. Postal Service. Af
ter protests by EDS and other com
panies, the General Services Admin
istration suspended Perot’s postal
contract.
Wright said the suit claims Perot
with his public statements and mar
keting activities is showing that he
has no intentions of honoring that
agreement.
Though he had not seen the suit,
Perot said, “It really looks silly.”
“All they do is spend a lot of
money on legal work,” he said.
Perot founded the giant computer
services firm in 1962 and sold it to
General Motors Corp. in 1984. In
December 1986, after a highly publi
cized conflict between Perot and
GM, Perot and three other top EDS
executives left the firm when GM
agreed to pay them about $850 mil
lion.
Wright said Perot agreed when he
left EDS not to compete with the
company for three years. The same
agreement precludes Perot from op
erating a for-profit company until
December 1989.
The purpose of the agreement
was to prevent Perot from using pro
prietary and strategic information
about EDS’ markets and services to
compete with the company, Wright
said.
In June, Perot founded Perot Sys
tems Corp. and the company ob
tained the controversial no-bid con
tract to automate the Postal Service.
The contract was suspended by the
GSA under pressure by EDS and
other companies. Perot has chal
lenged that action.
The Postal Service contract is just
one of Perot’s activities EDS says are
in violation of the 1986 agreement.
Wright declined to give other ex
amples of how Perot and his new
company may have broken the
agreement, but said they don’t think
it will be hard to prove he broke it.
“Suffice to say, it’s (violations)
across a broad range of markets EDS
serves,” Wright said. “It’s across the
board.”
In July, Perot bid on a Medicaid
contract, which expires in 1989. EDS
won the lucrative Medicaid contract
in 1976.
DALLAS (AP) — Lew people
would deny that the view from Deb
orah Kops’ office on the 29th floor
of 2001 Bryan is panoramic.
She can see acres of treetops shad
ing homes in North Dallas and the
Park Cities, she can glimpse just
enough of the major north-south
freeways to choose the best route
home at rush hour and she can ad
mire the artistry in some of the city’s
newest Arts District high-rises with
out obstruction.
However, it is the closer view of
downtown Dallas — looking more
directly down to street level or south
over the Farmers Market District —
that shocks visitors and saddens
Kops, a real estate consultant and
member of the city’s Landmark
Commission.
The crazy quilt of blacktopped
parking lots punctuated occasionally
by 40-to 60-story corporate mono
liths, a few blocks of smaller office
buildings and parking garages dra
matically illustrates a point that the
Landmark Commission and other
preservationists are trying to make
to the City Council: Dallas is losing
its older buildings at a frightening
rate, and if something isn’t done
soon to stop random destruction
there won’t be anything left to save.
“The old buildings gave the city
interest and flavor; that’s gone now,
and all that’s left is pavement." said
Bob Canavan, chairman of the
Landmark Commission.
According to statistics the Land
mark Commission recently pre
sented to the City Council, parking
lots are rapidly replacing older
buildings and overtaking construc
tion in downtown Dallas.

Quayle rallies students, slams
Dukakis at University of Houston
HOUSTON (AP) — Republican vice presidential
candiate Dan Quayle rallied students at the University
of Houston Monday when he suggested Cougars foot
ball coach Jack Pardee team up with Michael Dukakis to
show him a strong defense.
Quayle, making his first campaign swing in his run
ning mate’s home state, told the 1,500 students gath
ered at an outdoor rally that George Bush and he
would “run a campaign like Carl Lewis.”
“We’re going to jump like Elvin Hayes and Akeem
(Olajuwon). And we’re going to play defense just like
the fighting Cougars,” Quayle said to cheering students
at the “Election ’88 Showcase.”
“I read that the University of Houston has the second
toughest defense in the country. I think we ought to get
the governor of Massachusetts together with Jack Par
dee so he can learn what a strong defense is all about.”
Lewis, who was honored with a gold medal at the
Seoul Olympics in the 100-meter run, Hayes and the
Houston Rockets’ Olajuwon all are former students of
the school.
The Indiana senator said Dukakis uses the same kind
of offense used by the Cougars football team — veer of
fense.
“Only his problem is that he always veers to the far
left,” he said as several students stood behind him hold
ing red, white and blue balloons and “Bush-Quayle”
signs.
Duimg Ins speech, Quayle strayed from ms speed] to
respond to several students holding Dukakis-Bentsen
signs that were shouting and trying to drown him out.
“You listen to these people shout down here,” Quayle
said. “If I had to support Michael Dukakis, I’d have to
shout, too. They shout because they have no ideas; we
have new ideas.”
Quayle brought the students to their feet when he ar
rived and held up his hand in a Cougar print sign. In
his introduction of Quayle, Cov. Bill Clements held up
the wrong sign and had to get help from a nearby stu
dent.
The students cheered even louder when Clements
said, “I’m not going to take much of your time.”
Quayle planned to travel to El Paso on Tuesday
night.
Despite Quayle’s response at UH, one student was
disappointed there were no new issues or ideas from
the speech.
“He didn’t say anything he hasn’t said,” said Lee
Nguyen, a 19-year-old psychology major, who’s looking
forward to voting in his first presidential election.
“I haven’t made up my mind on who to vote for; both
people have good things to say.”
Quayle suggested that Dukakis be referred as “Mr.
Tax Increase, Mr. Polluter, Mr. Weak on National De
fense, but let me tell you something. There is some
thing the American people will not refer to the gover
nor of Massachusetts and that is Mr. President.”
a survey commissioned bythefo
ervation League in 1980aspota;
< itv landmarks, only 178 remain!
place of the 138 that were den
lished are 129 parking areas a
three new buildings: Momenn
Place, Lincoln Plaza and theGj
1 lome Restaurant. Amonglhestia
tines lost to parking were the fa
Building, the Texas Building,thti
stored 712 Commerce Street BiJ
ing, the Medical Arts Buildings;
the Metropolitan Building.
Nearly all the bulldozedbuMi

ulators who believe a paved M
more lucrative and attractive loti
estate shoppers than an old, van
building, city planners say.
But based on statistics providdi
the Central Dallas Association.®
of the additional pavement is una
essary and underused, presm
tionists say. Surface parking!
cover more than 36 perceni
downtown acreage and, comfa
with the spaces in parkinggart?
provide one parking slo( for w
1.7 downtown workers. Andaboa
third of the downtown workersli
byses to work.
“That translates to lessthana
person per parking space,”dtypb
ner Ron Emrjch said.
Although mere is little cityol
cials can do to reduce the numbti
surf ac e parking lots, landmarkw
missioners contend there are sew
things that can be done tomak
harder to create new onesbyteati
down historic buildings.
Among their suggestions:
Develop ordinances regulaii:
the amount of surface parti
downtown and making it morel
cult for property owners to ota
permits for new parking lots.
Establish a policy for increasi
the rate of city landmark dea
nations regardless of whetheri!
property owner wants the dts
nation. Since the landmarkprogn
began 16 years ago, only 31®
have been designated, andtheQ
Council has refused to grant to
mark status over a propertyotfflt
objections. Many property ort
have opposed landmark design^
because they fear it will pie' 6
them f rom demolishing a builft
when in fact it only imposesali
clay stay on the issuance of a deffli
tion permit to give preservationist
chance to negotiate alternatives,&
rich said.
Improve tax incentives fororf
of older buildings so they will I*

them standing while the proper!'

Create disincentives — such*
penalty fee equal to the appn®
value of the historic structure- 15
would discourage the destriktioi 1
buildings with landmark des
nation. The reasoning is that apt'
erty owner should reimburse-

for the historic resource it is bf-
