Texas poised to reap benefits
of U.S.-Mexico agreement
WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas
dominates the export market to
Mexico, shipping $11 billion
worth of goods across the Rio
Grande in 1989, a new Com
merce Department study said.
The study said exports from
Texas accounted for' 44 percent
of all U.S. goods sent to Mexico
that year.
Backers of a free trade
agreement with Mexico say the
study is evidence Texas stands to
be one of the big winners of an
anticipated increase in com
merce along the border once tar
iffs and other trade barriers are
lifted.
The state already has the cul
tural ties, location and foothold
in the Mexican economy that
would allow it to move quickly if
the agreement is negotiated and
approved, they say.
"Texas is certainly poised to be
faster off the block," said Roger
Wallace, deputy undersecretary
for international trade at the
Commerce Department.
"Texas has nad a long history
of trade and business with Mex
ico, and that sort of knowledge
base is going to be helpful to the
Texas business community as
economic trade ties increase over
the next decade," Wallace said in
an interview Friday.
The study said Texas exported
$11 billion in manufactured, ag
ricultural, military and mined
goods in 1989, more than any
other state. Texas exports grew
by 70 percent, or $4.5 billion, be
tween 1987 and 1989.
"You're talking about thou
sands and thousands of jobs be
ing created as you increase that
kind of trade," Sen. Lloyd Bent-
sen, D-Texas, said.
"It's not just one segment of
the Texas economy but the
whole Texas economy that will
benefit, and ... every region,"
Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said.
"We already have a good foot
hold as the largest exporter, our
areas of dominance are broad-
based, and we have the locatio
nal advantage."
The study said Texas' leading
exports were electric and electro
nic equipment, with sales total
ing $3.2 billion in 1989, followed
by computers and industrial ma
chinery, $1.2 billion; transporta
tion equipment, $1.1 billion;
chemicals, $810 million; and
food products, $496 million.
Overall, manufactured goods
accounted for $10 billion of the
state's exports in 1989, followed
by $545 million in agricultural
products; $26 million in mined
goods, such as metals, coal, min
erals and oil and gas.
Mexico is Texas' largest export
market, buying 29 percent of the
$38 billion in goods the state
ships to the rest of the world.
The study said U.S. exports to
Mexico, the third-leading U.S.
export market, totaled $25 billion
in 1989, a 71 percent increase
from $14.6 billion in 1987. After
Texas the largest exporting states
in 1989 were California with $4
billion, Michigan with $1.7 bil
lion, New York with $834 mil
lion, and Arizona with $759 mil
lion.

Health officials fail
to warn of pesticide use
HOUSTON (AP) — A pesti
cide banned worldwide for its al
leged health risks has been used
at four Houston apartment com
plexes as late as last year, but
state and local health officials
failed to warn residents of its po
tential dangers, a newspaper re
ported Sunday.
In a copyright story, the Hous
ton Post reported chlordane,
which is believed to cause cancer
and has proved harmful to the
nervous system, digestive sys
tem and the liver, was detected
at four apartment complexes as
late as 1990.
The Edgebrook, Camino
South, Kings Park and Fondren
Glen apartments were illegally
sprayed with the pesticide and
reportedly cleaned up under su
pervision by the Texas Depart
ment of Agriculture in 1987, the
newspaper said.
"I'm very concerned about the
people who continue to live the
re," said Robert Simon, a toxico
logy consultant from Washing
ton, D.C., who took samples
from the apartment complexes in
late 1989 and early 1990.
Simon said his test results
showed chlordane still is present
in a variety of locations at the
apartments.
"That chlordane will be there
another 20 years," he said, un
less it is properly cleaned up.
The toxin also remains in the
body for years, experts say.
Chlordane is a mixture of
more than 50 chemicals pre
viously used to control termites
in homes. Most uses of the sub
stance were prohibited by the
Environmental Protection
Agency in November 1987, and a
full ban was enacted in April
1988.
More than 300 former resi
dents of the judwin Properties-
managed apartments complain
they are suffering a variety of ill
effects, including memory loss,
flu-like symptoms, irritability,
rashes, fevers, headaches, dizzi
ness, lack of coordination and
sexual dysfunction since being
exposed to chlordane in 1987.
