Businessmen discuss Wright oil-well deal with legislative panel SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The ranking members of the House ethics committee began taking depo sitions Monday from businessmen who may have been involved in a lu crative oil well investment for House Speaker Jim Wright. The ethics panel accused Wright of 69 violations of House ethics rules in his dealings with Fort Worth de veloper George Mallick and in alleg edly evading limits on outside in come through bulk sales of a book he wrote. The committee continues to inves tigate how a Wright-Mallick part nership in 1988 bought a 4 percent interest in an oil and gas well for $99,000 — putting up only $9,120 in cash — and sold it the same day for $440,000. The chairman of the House panel, Rep. Julian Dixon, D-Calif., and its leading Republican member, Rep. John Myers of Indiana, arrived at mid-afternoon and immediately went to a hotel room to interview the operator of the southeast Texas oil well, L.R. Brammer Jr. of Brammer Engineering Co. Brammer’s attorney, Ray Barlow, also was present. “We are going to make a thorugh examination,” Myers said before en tering the meeting, which was closed to the public. “We don’t want to miss anything. We’re not here partic ularly to make a certain decision. We are here for fact-finding,” He said he did not know who they would interview or if other field hearings would be required. “We hope to be as thorough as we can be, and there might not be any thing beyond this and then there might well be,” Myers said. “It de pends on what we find here.” The two committee members and panel investigators are expected to interview San Antonio financier Morris Jaffe; his business associate and son, M.D. (Doug) Jaffe Jr.; and others involved in the oil well deal. Dixon had no comment upon his arrival in San Antonio. Wright denies any wrongdoing and pledges to fight the allegations. Of the 1988 oil well transaction, Wright has said, “I put all of my fi nancial holdings in a blind trust in 1987, the first year of my speak ership. Under the terms of that blind trust, I am not to be told of any of the transactions that take place.” Richard Phelan, the ethics com mittee’s counsel, said the committee needed to determine whether Wright had knowledge of the deal, which involved the Jaffes, a West German-owned firm, and the blind trust established for Wright in 1987. Myers said, “We didn’t have time at the time to make this investigation because we wanted to go ahead and make our report, but we had every intention of coming back and fin ishing this. That is why we are here today.” The first phase of its investigation finished, the panel now turns to con sidering whether there is clear and convincing proof of violations and, if so, deciding whether to recommend disciplinary action to the House. Artist takes vandalism as art ‘critique’ HOUSTON (AP) — An inner-city artist is being philosophical after thieves stripped his giant sculpture of its chain-link walls and gates and considers the vandalism a construc tive “critique” of his design and materials. “It was too weak,” Jesse Lott says of the skeletal structure he’s now re building in the impoverished Hous ton Fifth Ward neighborhood where he grew up and still lives. “The un known hand just came along and erased some lines.” Lott has been working during the past week to try to replace the stolen fence with a welded web of salvaged steel rods — the kind used to re inforce concrete. “The greatest critic of all is the public,” he says. “It’s a loss finan cially. But aesthetically, it’s a step to the positive side. It’s a step that I would never have made myself. I feel great about it.” Lott believes the thief either sold the 235 feet of fencing to one of the many local junkmen for about $50 or to an individual. He estimated the loss at $2,000. The artist began work on the structure in 1984. SENIOR BANQUET APRIL 29, 1989 GUEST SPEAKER CLAYTON W.
