Officials continue
to defend reactor
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Energy and
ecology officials have mounted a cam
paign to defend the safety of Mexico’s
first nuclear power plant before it is
started up, while critics continue to ques
tion its reliability, necessity and econom
ics.
Jose Luis Alcudia, assistant energy
secretary, told senators Tuesday there
was nothing to hide about the Laguna
Verde plant, named for the green Gulf of
Mexico lagoon it sits next to.
“The government and Mexican nu
clear technicians consider that the reac
tors can operate with maximum security
in terms of international standards,” he
said.
The plant, 200 miles east of Mexico
City in Veracruz state, has been ready to
load its radioactive fuel since last De
cember, according to the federal Electri
city Commission.
But President Miguel de la Madrid
postponed start-up in an apparent attempt
to calm protests by ecological groups and
to minimize the issue during Veracruz
state’s municipal elections.
The elections, held Oct. 2, were
largely won by the ruling Institutional
Revolutionary Party. Newspapers have
since carried a flurry of unconfirmed re
ports that the loading is imminent.
Officials of the Energy Department,
state-owned Federal Electricity Commis
sion and Urban Development and Ecol
ogy Department spoke to senators on
Tuesday and were to appear in the
Crude oil prices
showing increase
to $14 per barrel
AUSTIN (AP) — Crude oil futures
prices surged above $14 a barrel
Wednesday for the first time in two
weeks amid growing speculation that
OPEC may be moving toward an
agreement to restrain its production.
Analysts said some late buying was
triggered by a rumor, promptly denied at
the State Department, that the U.S. em
bassy in Saudi Arabia had been bombed.
The price for the November contract
for West Texas Intermediate oil, the
benchmark U.S. crude, climbed 56 cents
to settle at $14.11 a barrel.
In other trading on the New York Mer
cantile Exchange, the November con
tract for wholesale unleaded gasoline
rose 1.87 cents to settle at 42.66 cents a
gallon, while home heating oil rose 1.76
cents to 40.84 cents a gallon.
Reports that several members of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries have been producing well in
Surrogates help
spread message
for candidates
AUSTIN (AP) — From political offi
ceholders to celebrities, candidates’ chil
dren to their in-laws, the campaign trail
across Texas is heavily traveled this au
tumn by surrogates stumping for the
presidential hopefuls.
Stand-ins show up when candidates
can’t, spend more time in the state than
any candidate could while running na
tionwide and carry the message to voters
and news media in small towns and com
munities or places the campaigns might
otherwise bypass.
“They’re going where the presidential
ticket has gone and where it has not go
ne,” Reggie Bashur of George Bush’s
Texas campaign said. “They’re going all
over the state, into areas that have big
media markets and small ones, places
that have three network (television) affil
iates and places that have one weekly
newspaper. ”
Tom Cosgrove, director of Dukakis’
campaign in the state, said, “You use
surrogates primarily in smaller markets,
where they can dominate the news and
help carry your message. And there are
certain surrogates who have specialities
on one issue or another who can speak to
those. ”
Among the Republicans who have
served as Bush stand-ins are his eldest
son George W. Bush, Texas Sen. Phil
Gramm, Secretary of Education Lauro
Cavazos, Gov. Bill Clements, former
Sen. John Tower and former superstar
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Stau-
bach.
Staubach, Gramm’s wife, Wendy, and
Columba Bush, the vice president’s
daughter-in-law, launched a 14-city
South Texas campaign tour on Wednes
day.
Columba Bush said she hoped her
presence would attract Hispanic voters to
the GOP ticket.
“I’m one of them,” she said at the
first stop, which was Cisco’s Restaurant
in Austin. “I’ve had the same feelings,
the same background. We share a lot of
things.”
Across town to visit a senior citizen’s
center, meanwhile, was Andrea Duka
kis, eldest daughter of the Democratic
nominee. She also was scheduled to
campaign in coastal town of Corpus
Christi.
Authorities
catch suspect
in arson case
JEFFERSON, N.H. (AP) — Authori
ties said Wednesday a former volunteer
firefighter is suspected of setting 16 sus
picious bl?zes that have terrified this
town since May, prompting residents to
sleep in shifts and form night patrols.
Plainclothes police officers hustled
Lance Lalumiere, 23, into the police sta
tion in neighboring Lancaster, where he
was arraigned on one felony arson
charge stemming from a fire at his broth
er’s cabin. Bail was set at $50,000.
State Safety Commissioner Richard
Flynn said the state will seek indictments
against Lalumiere, charging him with
setting 15 other fires.
Five of the 21 suspicious fires appar
ently were set by others, said state Police
Lt. Gary Sloper, who declined to give
details, including how many suspects
there are and whether any of the suspects
acted in concert.
Jefferson, a quiet hamlet of 850 peo
ple, has had 21 suspicious or confirmed
arson fires since a May 5 grass fire. A
bam was the next target, then empty
homes and later occupied ones.
Chamber of Deputies, the lower house,
Wednesday evening.
Alcudia said the plant is part of a long-
range plan to diversify energy sources.
The first of the two 657-megawatt re
actors is ready for low level power tests
and that there are no technical obstacles
to loading fuel, he said.
Sen. Porfirio Munoz Ledo of the left
ist National Democratic Front and lead
ers of the Group of 100, an ecological
group of artists and intellectuals, walked
out of Tuesday’s session, the newspaper
La Jornada said.
Munoz L.edo questioned the econom
ics of the plant considering decline in in
come from oil exports. He also asked
whether the country really has an energy
deficit, if the plant was safe and whether
it could be changed to another type of
fuel.
“Why the rush to load the reactor?”
he asked numerous times.
Homero Aridjis, a poet who is a
spokesman for the Group of 100, said
there should be a national referendum on
whether to put the plant into operation.
Rafael Fernandez de la Garza, director
of the project, said the plant has five
backup systems in case of accidents.
“If the plant is not put into operation,
we would be exposed to cuts in electrical
service by any failure in the current sys
tem,” he said.
Alcudia said the plant will cover 66
percent of the estimated increase in elec
trical demand expected in 1989.

excess of their quotas drove prices down
to last week’s lows.
But prices have moved higher since
then, as some traders say signs have
emerged of a more conciliatory attitude
among OPEC members.
“There is a growing perception that
prices had gotten low enough to force
OPEC to do something,” Peter Beutel,
assistant director of the energy group at
Elders Futures Inc. in New York, said.
Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia, the
world’s largest oil exporter, reaffirmed it
would stick to its production quota if
other members of OPEC did.
Beutel said the approach of the Oct.
20 meeting of the OPEC price monitor
ing and long-term strategy committees
was making some traders nervous about
the risks of agreements they might have
previously made to sell borrowed oil
contracts in expectations prices would
fall further.
