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.
