Ft. Worth hosts space exhibit
Officials hope Soviet show will lift economy
FORT WORTH (AP) — A
planned display of Soviet space
technology is creating optimism
in a city stung by defense cut
backs and a nationwide reces
sion, Fort Worth officials say.
The Soviet Space Exhibit, con
sidered the most comprehensive
collection of Russian space
equipment ever to visit the
United States, is likely to pump
millions into the local economy.
Conservative estimates that
500,000 people will visit the six-
month exhibit would produce
about $65 million for Fort
Worth's lagging economy, ex
hibit officials say.
Two years ago, the Ramses the
Great exhibit brought $154 mil
lion to Dallas, the Dallas Times
Herald reported.
"Relatively, Soviet Space can
have as large an economic im
pact on Fort Worth in 1991 as
Ramses had on Dallas in 1989,"
said Bob Townsend, who served
as executive director of both pro
jects.
"In 1989, Dallas was really suf
fering from layoffs in the real es
tate and banking industries.
Now Fort Worth is in a tough sit
uation with the defense indus
try," Townsend said.
General Dynamics has laid off
7,000 workers this year.
Portions of the exhibit have
been displayed in Boston and
Seattle, but Fort Worth will offer
the first comprehensive presen
tation of the more than 80 tons of
space hardware, said Deborah
Leliaert, spokeswoman for the
show.
"From the beginning, we felt it
could be very significant and
positive factor in bringing people
to Fort Worth this year," said
Doug Harman, president of the
Fort Worth Conventions and
Visitors Bureau.

Texans
to recycle

wages and additional state
revenues, a true economic re
naissance."
Mauro was responsible for
legislation requiring vehicle
fleets in Texas to convert to
clean-burning fuels such as
natural gas. Oklahoma and
Louisiana have passed similar
laws.
"We achieved that success
in the political process because
we demonstrated that concern
for the environment can actu
ally drive economic growth,"
he said.
Natural gas also can ease
America's dependence on for
eign oil, Mauro said.
"If we converted all the
fleets in this country to run on
natural gas, that would cut oil
imports in this country by 24
percent," he said.
Bioremediation — using mi
crobes to clean up oil spills
and toxic waste — is another
growing industry with eco
nomic potential.
Mauro said Texas is on the
cutting edge of this technol
ogy, and Michigan State Uni
versity has joined with the Re
search Development Corp. of
jfapan to work on a bioreme
diation research project.
Bioremediation is now’ a $50
million a year industry, and he
predicts it will be a $1 billion a
year industry by the year 2000.
"The question is will it be an
industry we stay leaders in,"
Mauro said. "It's a challenge
for us in this part of the coun
try not just to be a leader eco
nomically, but we want that
technology to be applied here
first."
Mauro said the distinction
between protecting threatened
industries and creating new
ones is somewhat artificial.
For example, plastics man-

A///P NERDS ARE SO SKINNY.
ufacturers are threatened be
cause of the small amount of
plastics recycled.
However, the industry can
also profit from plastics recy
cling, Mauro said; Two years
ago, the Texas Land Office de
vised a bill requiring plastic
containers to carry a code
identifying their specific com
position.
This bill makes it easy for
collectors to presort the differ
ent plastic compounds and
take them to the recycler,
Mauro said.
Recycling, however, will not
work without a market for re
cycled goods, he said. The
Land Office formed the Cor
porate Recycling Alliance to
coordinate with the private
sector in this area.
Mauro also said the state
will establish the Texas Green
Corps to educate groups, busi
nesses and schools about envi
ronmental issues.
Governments also should
give economic preference to
recycled products, he said.
With collectors and manufac
turers, buyers will make recy
cling viable in Texas.
"Since government agencies
represent 20 percent of our
gross state product, govern
ment agencies are ideally posi
tioned to make recycling a
reality of everyday life,"
Mauro said.
The Land Office practices
the environmental slogan,
"Think Globally, Act Locally,"
Mauro said.
His office makes $20,1
each year by recycling its
waste paper and it also pur
chases recycled paper, he said.
Environmental and eco
nomic problems must be
solved together, Mauro said.
