Rio Grande floods banks in Big Bend PRESIDIO (AP) - Although the Rio Grande is over its banks along the Big Bend, flood-control measures are in place and things should begin to improve, an offi cial with the International Bound ary and Water Commission said. Water released from Mexican reservoirs was carried along the Rio Conchos into the Rio Grande near Presidio, Texas, and Ojinaja, Mexico. "The reservoirs in Mexico got full, and they are making releases to come back to the conservation level. What they are releasing); within the flow that is safe for the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Pre sidio," said Cruz Ito, a spokesman for the commission's office inEl Paso. The National Weather Service said the river should remain above flood stage in the Big Bend fora few days, with the Rio Grande ris ing slightly higher because of the continued inflow from the Rio Conchos. After a journey of several hun dred miles, the excess water will eventually pour into Amistad Reservoir on the Rio Grande, about 10 miles upstream from Del Rio. That will help prevent major problems in the lower Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, Ito said. SROCKYANOS PIZZA; ! BUFFET $ 1 99 1 ! SPECIAL Jl So,,,!

Bizzell Hall 845-0544 Officials scan ships to control chemicals HOUSTON (AP) - Federal agents are using hand-held mi crowave devices and computer in formation to scan chemical ship ments leaving the Port of Houston as part of a unique program to keep chemicals from getting into the hands of illegal drug manufac turers in South America. "We want to make the costs as high as possible in this illegal trat- fic," Billy Monks, supervisory in spector for the U.S. Customs Ser vice, said Thursday. "Wewantto make it as difficult as possible." Common chemicals like ben zene, acetone and ketones are made in Houston and shipped around the world from the Port of Houston, which handles 70 per cent of the nation's chemical ex ports. The chemicals are used in items like nail polish, perfume, paint and medications. And while a typical 55-gallon 'drum of the solvent would sell legally for $100 to $150, it's worth upwards of $10,000 on the illegiti mate market in Colombia where it's needed for cocaine production agents said. "There's a tremendous profit potential for those who would di vert into the illegal trade," Monks said. "They are essential to mak ing illegal drugs that will come back to the United States." A 1988 law known as the Chemical Diversion and Traffick ing Act requires chemical makers to document to the Drug Enforce ment Administration what they are shipping, how much they are shipping and where it is going. Those documents are filed in a computer which then is matched against the actual cargoes. If quantities exceed the desig nated amounts, they are stopped from shipment.
