The council is an organization of 10 investor-owned electric utilities in Texas. “We grow 32 percent of U.S. cot ton in Texas, but only about 4 per cent of that crop is processed in the state,” said Greg Stark, executive di rector of the council. “About 37 per cent of the Texas cotton crop goes to the southeastern states and about 55 percent of the Texas crop goes to foreign export markets.” Stark said the value of most cotton leaving Texas after production, gin ning and merchandising is between 50 cents and 60 cents per pound. Processing cotton in I exas would in crease its market value. Spinning raw cotton into yarn adds about $1 per pound to the mar ket value and weaving yarn into fab ric adds another dollar per pound. Stark said that although Texas has had textile mills, many did not up date technologically in the 1960s and could not compete with mills in other states. The primary focus of the study was to determine if processing cot ton in Texas is economically feasible. Stark said. “We’ve put together five different feasibility studies for different types of textile mills,” he said of the study, which was conducted from June ol 1988 to February. “We examined the return on investment to see il they would make money, and they all had favorable returns on invest ment.” The mill with the lowest cost had capital costs, including land, equip ment and building costs, of $14 mil lion and would employ 68 people with a yearly payroll of $1.4 million, he said. It would produce about 1 1 million pounds of yarn from raw cotton per year, which would eai n about $13.8 million in revenue I he mill would buy raw cotton and sell the yarn it produced for the man ufacture of E-shins and similai products. . The largest mill in the feasibuit) study would produce about 13.7 mil lion T-shirts per year and would sell them for about $30.8 million. Stark said. Capital costs would be about $9 million and the mill would employ 468 people with an annual payroll of $7.3 million. “A lot of entrepreneurs in the state have been giving this (proc essing cotton) some thought for a long time,” Stark said. “Entities that might be interested in starting textile mills in Texas would be primarily large corporations looking to diver sify or possibly a cooperative venture between a number of different pro ducers.” Now that the study is completed, the council is promoting the idea ol processing cotton throughout the state. It’s an ideal time to present the idea, he said. “In the past, Texas has relied: the oil and gas industry so muchtbl we’ve never been forced to broad? I and diversity our economy,'’ 1 said. V “I think the interest in processinj cotton in Texas will be high,” ' Stark said southeastern statesbtl Texas cotton at low costs because I has a reputation for inferiority i 1 textile industry. “This perception is held ovej from the ring spinning of yams Stark said. “A newer method,called open-ended spinning, better util® the qualities of Texas cotton. “Also, there’s a new compuierizei cotton grading system that grade Texas cotton better than the tradi. tional grading system by humans The computerized grading system being widely used, is much rnoreai curate than grading by humansant it takes into account Texas cotton high strength qualities.” Report (Continued from page 1) money he ever received was from former receivers coach George Pugh, Matey and Paulson in June and September 1988. Smith’s statement says he knew Pugh and Matey but didn’t recognize Paulson’s name. Matey’s statement says he had never met nor known Smith. “The point is, I didn’t know George Smith personally or by repu tation; didn’t know he was a former football player; didn’t know of any relationship that existed with anyo ne,” Matey’s statement says. Paulson’s statement says Matey once told him “he didn’t know George Smith from ‘Adam.’” Smith’s statement also goes against statements in the Nov. 18 story by Doug Bedell, a Morning News reporter, which said Bedell witnessed Smith open an overnight letter from Matey containing $500. “Although Mr. Bedell claims he saw the five $100 bills when this let ter was opened, that is not true,” Smith’s statement reads. “I received that letter at noon that day and opened and deposited the money before ever meeting with Mr. Bedell later that afternoon.” In his statement, Smith says he thought Bedell “had a basic dislike for Jackie Sherrill and (Bedell) said to me that ‘no one likes Jackie Sher rill anyway, he’s such a jerk.’” Smith’s statement says Bedell told him the NGAA wanted to “get Jackie Sherrill” and that the NCAA thought Sherrill had covered up evi dence during the probe into A&M’s athletic program. The statement says Smith “didn’t know the truth of those statements.” The report was released under the Texas Open Records Act, but many paragraphs have been deleted including 17 lines of Smith’s five- page testimony and five pages of Sherrill’s 16-page testimony. The report’s cover letter, written by Lane Stephenson, director of A&M’s public information office, says, “most of the deletions relate to restriction on release of information pertaining to students as stipulated in federal law commonly known as the ‘Buckley Amendment.’” , The report also contains an agreement between Smith and Be dell binding Smith to “be truthful in the information he provides” and “cooperate with counsel for Bedell and/or the Morning News in the event that any written version of the interviews should result in any legal action.” According to the agreement. Be dell could only write newspaper sto ries from Smith’s interviews after a proposal was prepared for the book the two were working on. At the Nov. 19 news conference where he recanted his statements to Bedell, Smith said he never saw the proposal for the book. In Smith’s affidavit, Smith said he thinks Bedell broke the agreement. “I did not make the incorrect statements for use as a news story, but only for the book, and the news story release was done, in my opin ion, in violation of the agreement I had with Mr. Bedell,” the statement says. The agreement’s final paragraph states that “the Dallas Morning News has not paid, nor will it pay, any fi nancial consideration or any other form of gratuity to George Smith in connection with this agreement.” A Dec. 19 memorandum from Charley Clark, director of the Uni versity’s Internal Audit, details the findings of the first internal report. Clark’s memo says the only evidence found were overnight mailings i Smith on Nov. 18, 1986 and Jan.26,1 1988. The memo says the “a contents of the above express envt I lopes are unknown at this time.” The Internal Audit investigation I did di scover (hat a man Smithkne* onlv as "Bill f rom Eampasas” frt I quently bought Smith’s complimtr: tary tickets, the report says. There ) port says Sherrill became aware c the situation when “Bill” left SI,60 for Smith at Christmas 1982. Atthisl point, Sherrill told Smith tostt dealings with “Bill.” Clark’s investigation included re I view of all A&M long-distance lele | phone records between May November 1988 to or from Georgia! Clark reported 12 calls either made to or from Smith’s home numberj eluding three calls to or from Pughs home on the evening of Nov. 16for a total of 127 minutes. Phone records included with the report show calls to the home of Lois Phillips, the mother of Smith's f .cee, on Nov.' 16 for a total of 12i minutes. , t Smith told the Morning New Nov. 17 he decided to recant I story after talking to Pugh’s wife. Haitian soldiers thwart military coup attempt PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Shooting broke out early Sunday near the presidential palace, and a source close to the government said loyal soldiers had foiled an attempt to overthrow the government of Lt. Gen. Prosper Avril. A few hours earlier, sources in Haiti said military commanders had ousted the 6-month-old govern ment. It would have been the third coup in this Caribbean country in less than a year. There was no way to immediately confirm any of the reports, which came four days after four top arms officers were discharged aftei being accused of drug trafficking Haiti’s international airport was dosed, a move taken after previous coups, and large numbers of soldiers were at the palace and on the streets. State-run radio and television continued regular programming and made no mention of a coup sev eral hours after the initial reports of shooting. Susan Clyde, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, said there were “reports that there has been a change of government,” but that the capital of Port-au-Prince appeared calm. Five soldiers of the Presidential Guard arrived at independent radio station Liberte at 11:45 a.m. to deny the reports Avril had been ousted. An announcement read by a sol dier identified only as Georges Metayer said: “President Avril is in the National Palace. There’s no problem in the army.” A source close to the government said soldiers in the Presidential Guard had foiled rebels who tried to stage a coup. A Haitian government source said shortly after daybreak three military officers, including Maj. Gen. Herard Abraham, the army commander-in chief, had overthrown Avril and that Abraham was placed in charge of the government. The source spoke on condition of anonymity. One source said, however, that Abraham had rCfhsed to accept the presidency. Abraham was foreign minister under the government of Lt. Gen. Henri Namphy, whom Av ril replaced. There were other unconfirmed reports from sources that Avril and Col. Acedius Saint-Louis, the inte rior and defense minister, were be ing held at the Leopard Corps bar racks in suburban Port-au-Prince. Richard Melton, U.S. deputy as sistant secretary of state for Carib bean affairs, visited Haiti on Mon day and told Avril that U.S. aid depended partly on Haiti’s efforts to crack down on the drug trade.
