Lawyer’s testimony adds
new twist to Perot battle
DALLAS (AP) — The legal battle
letween Ross Perot and Electronic
lata Systems Corp. added another
wist with the revelation that an at-
orney whose firm represents EDS
ided with Perot during testimony
ast month.
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.
