Attorney Tom Luce is a fine, ethi- :al, decent man, Perot told the Dal las Times Herald in Monday’s edi- ions. “He hasn’t got a bad bone in lisbody.” Luce is Perot’s personal attorney. Hughes & Luce represents Dallas- tased EDS. Luce’s testimony in a Virginia :ourtroom is the latest development n a case already filled with personal ittacks, public outbursts and accusa- ions of corporate shenanigans as Perot and EDS battle in court over a ion-competition contract signed /(hen Perot left EDS’ parent com- )any, General Motors, in 1986. Luce’s testimony might jeopardize Hughes 8c Luce’s association with EDS, one of the law firm’s biggest clients. “Any right-thinking business would have to reassess given what has occurred,” EDS spokesman Roger Still said of Luce’s testimony. Perot, who started a rival com puter company shortly after the con tract was signed, insists that Luce was representing him and three dis affected EDS executives during the 1986 talks, an assertion Luce con firmed in his testimony. EDS offi cials, however, believe Luce was watching out for their interests. EDS has sued Perot over the buyout contract, which stipulated that Perot could not compete with EDS for profit until December 1989. Perot maintains that he has not vio lated the contract, because his com pany, Perot Systems Corp., is taking on business at cost and therefore not making a profit. He countered the EDS suit, filed in Fairfax, Va., Cir cuit Court, with a suit filed in state court in Dallas that alleges EDS has improperly interfered with his com pany’s business. Luce, citing his position as a wit ness in the Perot-EDS suit, declined to comment on his role in the case or on how it may affect his law firm’s business with EDS. Hughes & Luce, one of Dallas’ largest law firms, landed what was then Perot’s company in the mid- 1970s. Perot, impressed with Luce, hired the young lawyer as his per sonal attorney. Perot charges that Baker Sc Botts, the Houston law firm representing EDS during the Virginia hearing, was trying to make Luce and his firm look bad so that EDS would rethink its business contract with Hughes & Luce. Students may have to learn two languages AUSTIN (AP) — Students would be required to learn a language in addition to English under a legis lative recommendation approved Monday by the Select Committee on Education. The proposal said foreign lan guage instruction should begin at the primary level and added that fluency would provide Texas public school graduates the opportunity to compete on a national scale as lead ers academically and in the interna tional marketplace. Some have questioned whether the state is ready for such a require ment, said committee member Winston Power, superintendent of Highland Park school district. But he added, “We look at many programs today that we accept as re quired programs, and we can look back and see when those were per ceived to be very luxurious kinds of commodities. “I think Texas could take a long step forward by saying, ‘We’re going to take this as a long-term goal,’ ” Power said. Fluency in more than one lan guage is not exclusively of benefit to students who intend to go to college, he said. “If you go out and you’re a biling ual bank teller, reservation clerk or whatever, I promise you have mar ketability better than someone who only speaks one language,” he said. The committee also endorsed cur riculum recommendations that were amended to exclude a reference to comic books and teen romances as acceptable “light reading” for stu dents. The reference was deleted, Power said, because members felt it took away from their intent. “We didn’t want anyone to think that the com mittee was touting comic books or teen romances,” he said. They wanted to emphasize the im portance of student reading material, he said. Among other recommendations approved Monday were that the Legislature should: • Establish a State Capital Fund of $100 million annually to address emergency school facility and debt service needs. The fund would be a step in meeting requirements of a court ruling that found the state school finance system was unconsti tutionally inequitable. • Direct the Texas Education Agency to gather data on the status of school facilities and submit a legis lative proposal on a state program for facilities and debt service. r J Buy or lease a new Chrysler Motors M M car or truck and get Soon those four years you thought would never end will be just a memory.
