AUSTIN (AP) — Gov.-elect Ann
Richards, making her First major ap
pointment, named state Rep. Lena
Guerrero of Austin to the Texas
Railroad Commission Monday.
Guerrero, 33, will become the first
woman and first Hispanic to serve
on the century-old panel that regu
lates the oil, gas and transportation
industries in Texas.
“I am delighted to make this his
toric appointment. I want the ap
pointment of Lena to send a mes
sage to the people of Texas,”
Richards told a crowd in the Texas
Senate chamber.
“And that is that rich and poor,
and old and young, and men and
women, and white, black and brown
alike are going to be in positions of
power and responsibility in this
state,” she said.
Guerrero, a three-term House
member, will succeed Commissioner
John Sharp, who was elected state
comptroller. Richards said the ap
pointment would take effect as soon
as she is inaugurated Jan. 15.
If confirmed by the Senate, Guer
rero, a Democrat, will serve until the
next general election, in 1992. The
nominee said she would seek elec
tion at that time.
The new Railroad Commission
will include Commissioner James
Nugent and Bob Krueger, both
Democrats. Krueger was elected
Nov. 6 to succeed retiring chairman
Kent Hance.
Richards said Guerrero “brings to
the commission a background that is
strong in areas that are important to
my administration: a thorough un
derstanding of ethics in government
and a sensitivity to the rights of con- <

AUSTIN (AP) — A drug com
pany president who also is a phar
macist was indicted on charges
that he failed to keep records on
the disposal of drugs worth about
$1.2 million on the street, officials
said.
Wayne Holloway was indicted
Monday by a Travis County
Grand Jury on charges he vio
lated the Texas Controlled Sub
stances Act, the district attorney’s
office reported.
Fred Brinkley Jr., executive di
rector of the Texas State Board
of Pharmacy, which began the in
vestigation, said the case rep
resents the most serious allega
tions against a pharmacist in the
state over the past 10 years.
Holloway was accused of fail
ing to keep and furnish records
for more than 60,000 tablets and
drugs, including dilaudid, perco-
dan, nembutal, seconal, tuinal,
and preludin.
‘‘These drugs are highly
sought after by addicts on the il
licit drug market,” the district at
torney’s office stated.

Mood At
HOUSTON (AP) — A news conference called by
mayors and councilmen attending a convention of the
National League of Cities erupted into a brouhaha on
Monday when about 10 opponents of the Bush admin
istration’s Mideast policy were outshouted by about
twice that many colleagues who support the president.
The late afternoon press conference was a vehicle for
some mayors and council members to express their op
position to U.S. intervention in the Persion Gulf.
But Bush policy proponents packed the room,
shouted questions and eventually took over the podium.
“This is exactly what Saddam Hussein wants,” one
angry council member shouted.
St. Paul, Minn., Mayor James Scheibel said he and
others who oppose the administration’s Mideast policy
scheduled the meeting as part of an effort to reach a
peaceful resolution to the Gulf conflict.
“We don’t want to see any bodies come back in body
bags,” Scheibel said. “We want military force to be used
as a last resort.”
Martin J. Dunleavy, a Connecticut alderman, said the
decision on whether to send troops overseas was a
tough one.
“But I’ll tell you, not one of my neighbors is worth a
nickel off the price of gasoline,” Dunleavy said. “We
want a diplomatic solution.”
He said the National League of Cities should take a
stand on the issue.
“Just as this organization has been on the record for
the rights of people in South Africa and Northern Ire-

said.
Others said the National League of Cities should stav

“It’s up to the senators and Congress to debate and rebel tai

Mayor William Hudnut III. “I want you to know there “useless

Dayton Walker, a Greenville, S.C., councilman,
fought back tears as he told of his three sons in thelLS
Marines, one of whom is leaving for Saudi Arabia nexi

weeks.

ing that Saddam would be gratified to know that Amer
icans are split on the issue.

Ohio, agreed. He said he has two sons in the militan
including one in Germany with whom he spoke a fc»
