Population count in Texas
ranks third among states
WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas
ranks third in population among the
50 states and will still rank third in
the year 2000, even though the state
will have 1 million more people by
then, the government estimated
Monday.
The state saw population boom by
21 percent between 1979 and 1988,
outpacing the growth of jobs. But
economists at the Commerce De
partment expect total employment
in Texas will grow faster than pop
ulation in the next 10 years.
Texas’ population, which was 16.8
million in 1988, is projected to reach
18.1 million by the year 2000, an in
crease of 7.3 percent.
California is expected to jump
from 28.3 million in 1988 to 33.1
million by 2000 to stay No. 1. New
York is forecast to increase from
17.9 million to 18.5 million for the
No. 2 ranking.
The new Texas estimate for the
year 2000 is down from the projec
tion of 19.3 million the same fore
casters made five years ago.
George Downey, the Commerce
Department economist who helped
make the Texas projections, said
forecasters in 1985 didn’t know how
severely the oil bust would affect the
state.
“We were just starting to see the
problems then,” Downey said.
Total employment is forecast to
increase 13.2 percent between 1988
and 2000.
Downey said the prediction that
Texas , employment will rise faster
than its population is based on the
state returning to a normal pattern
of growth.
“We’re not trying to project reces
sions or boom periods,” Downey
said. “We’re just trying to project
normal, long term growth.”
He said forecasters assume states
that have had boom periods during
recent years won’t sustain them ei
ther. For instance, total employment
in Massachusetts, which swelled 24.2
percent from 1979 to 1988, is fore
cast to grow only 12.3 percent by
2000.
“In all the states, you see a conver
gence toward national average be
cause that’s what we expect in the
long run,” Downey said.
Total employment in all 50 states
is forecast to grow 14.3 percent by
2000, the Commerce Department
said. Total U.S. population is ex
pected to rise 9 percent to 267.7 mil
lion.
Per capita personal income is
forecast to increase from $11,716 in
1988 to $13,851 in 2000. Texas is
ranked 34th in per capita personal
income and will switch places with
Iowa to 33rd by 2000, the depart
ment said.
The department estimated total
personal income in Texas, in 1982
dollars, will grow nearly 27 percent
by 2000.
The projections were made by the
department’s Bureau of Economic
Analysis. It began making them
more than 20 years for the planning
of long term government projects,
such as dam construction.
Downey said the projections are
now used as comparisons by busi
nesses, marketing services, the De
fense Department and other govern
ment agencies.
Americans support stricterpollution-control laws
Poll says U.S. favors recycling
NEW YORK (AP) — Four in five Americans say pol
lution threatens the quality of their lives, and most favor
a tough counteroffensive that would outlaw disposable
diapers and cancer-causing pesticides, a poll has found.
Respondents to the national Media General-Asso
ciated Press survey favored an array of tough new re
strictions, inclqding bans on foam plastic fast-food con
tainers and excessive packaging of consumer products.
Of those who live in neighborhoods where recycling
is not mandatory, nine in 10 said they would support
such a rule. And nearly seven in 10 supported creation
of an elected statewide post to enforce environmental
law.
The notion of a state environmental sheriff will come
before California voters in November in a referendum
dubbed “Big Green.” Other steps in that measure also
won wide backing in the national MG-AP survey.
For example, the California act would ban 19 widely
used pesticides that cause cancer in laboratory animals;
such a move was favored by 70 percent in the survey,
“even if the risk to humans is very slight.”
“Big Green” calls for a fee on oil shipping to fund
spill prevention and cleanup; in the poll 80 percent
supported such an effort, even if it raised oil prices. A
separate proposal in California would restrict woodcut
ting in old forests; in the poll, 61 percent backed a ban '
on such timbering.
Overall, the survey found a continuing high level of
concern about the environment. Three in four respon
dents said anti-pollution laws are too weak, and about as
many gave local, state and federal governments neg
ative marks on protecting the environment.
Those numbers were essentially unchanged from a
poll a year ago that asked the same questions. The new
survey, conducted by telephone May 11-20 among a
random sample of 1,143 adults, had a 3-point margin
of error.
Strong support also continued for air pollution mea
sures that have been suggested in California, including
strict emission controls on power plants and bans on
household aerosol products, charcoal lighter fluid and
non-radial tires, which release rubber into the air.
Optimism for the future was restrained; just one-
third of respondents expected pollution to decrease
during the next 10 years, while 44 percent said it would
increase. The rest expected little change 1
The poll found strong support for trash-reduction
measures that proponents say could ease pressure on
clogged landfills. Among those results:
—Eighty-eight percent favored “restrictions on prod
uct packaging to reduce trash.”
—Eighty-four percent favored a ban on foam plastic
containers such as the ones used in fast-food restau
rants.
—Seventy-one percent supported a ban on disposa
ble diapers.

United States, Mexico open discussions
for free trade in Western Hemisphere
Texans in Congress say pact beneficial to state
WASHINGTON (AP) — Texans
in Congress hailed the opening of
free trade talks between the United
States and Mexico Monday, saying
an agreement would boost the trade
stature of the state as well as the two
countries.
“Those of us in the Western
Hemisphere — Canada and the
United States and Mexico first —
should understand that we’re not
going to be able to compete with
even the European community,
much less the Asian countries, unless
we collectively get together,” said
Rep. Ron Coleman.
“In economic terms, a free trade
agreement with Mexico would be
much more significant than the
higher profile trade agreement the
president recently signed with the
Soviet Union,” said Sen. Lloyd Bent-
sen, chairman of the Senate Finance
committee, which would have to rat
ify such a pact.
President Bush and Mexican Pres
ident Carlos Salinas de Gortari Mon
day told their trade advisers to begin
preliminary talks with an eye toward
concluding them before the leaders’
next meeting in Mexico in Decem
ber.
A statement from the Mexican
embassy said the leaders “share a
commitment to forge a vigorous
partnership for sustained economic
growth and opportunity.”
“It’s easy to see Mexican trade
doubling as a result of a successful
negotiation,” said Sen. Phil Gramm.
“Much of that trade would be run
through and coordinated out of
Texas.”
Both Gramm, a Republican, and
In economic terms, a
free trade agreement with
Mexico would be much
more significant than the
higher profile trade

recently signed with the
Soviet Union.”

senator
Bentsen, a Democrat, attended a
lunch with Salinas.
Coleman, D-El Paso, led the Con
gressional Border Caucus in a morn
ing meeting with Salinas. He said Sa
linas told the caucus that issues such
as immigration, clean air and crime
should not be tied to a free trade
agreement.
Mexican opposition party calls
for revote of special election
URUAPAN, Mexico (AP) — An
opposition party has called for an
nulment of a special mayoral elec
tion after official returns showed the
ruling party won, the government
news agency Notimex reported.
The special election June 3 was a
revote, after the center-left opposi
tion party succeeded in getting re
sults of a December mayor’s race an
nulled in Uruapan, the second-
largest city in the state of Michoacan.
Official returns of the revote an
nounced Sunday showed that ruling
Institutional Revolutionary Party
mayoral candidate Agustin Martinez
Maldonado won the race with
13,581 votes, almost double the
number received by his closest chal
lenger from the center-left Demo
cratic Revolutionary Party, Notimex
reported.
Democratic Revolutionary Party
coordinator Cuauhtemoc Cardenas
said his supporters will demand an
other revote because of vote-rigging
that excluded many registered vot
ers from casting ballots, the news
agency said.
Cardenas, a native of Michoacan,
spoke Sunday in a rally in Uruapan,
200 miles west of Mexico City.
His party took over 21 city halls in
Michoacan to protest election fraud
in mayoral polling across the state on
Dec. 3. Protesters were removed by
the army and police four months
later.
But he said constituents in border
states are skeptical about supporting
Mexico if that country is perceived
as not doing enough to recover cars
stolen from the United States or
cleaning up foul air.
The United States and Canada
completed a free trade agreement
two years ago that some believe was
the first step in uniting a market of
335 million people in the Western
Hemisphere.
“We’re going to have to rely on
Mexico to do the same thing with
countries farther south, from Cen
tral America to South America,” Co
leman said.
Bentsen said that Salinas noted a
trade alliance of the United States,
Canada and Mexico would be larger
than the European market, which
will unite in 1992.
Formal free trade negotiations are
expected to begin next year. Gramm
said he expects an agreement within
two years.
Bentsen offered no timetable, but
said wage differences will be a big
obstacle.
Organized labor and other groups
oppose the free trade pact. But
Gramm said the same groups op-
S iose the migration of Mexican la-
orers.

agreement. “That ultimately to

Energy department conducts second study
Scientists examine impact

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Department of Energy has
started a second study of the im
pact the superconducting super
collider will have on the environ

The study will supplement one
undertaken when seven potential

A draft of the supplemental
