HOUSTON— A historical paint
ing seized by Customs agents in a
custody dispute will be removed
from the Museum of Fine Arts and
returned to Mexico where it is con
sidered a national treasure.
"The Destruction of the Mission
of San Saba," which d/epicts the
1758 massacre of the mission's 400
residents by Comanches and allied
tribes, will be taken down Sunday,
the museum announced.
Although a federal court has
ruled the 18th-century painting be
longs to the U.S. government. Cus
toms spokesman Dennis Shimkoski
said Wednesday the painting will
be given to the Mexican govern
ment.
"You have to look at the history
of the painting," he said. "It shows

the culture of Mexico. In essence,
it's a national treasure. The United
States is not going to keep a nation
al treasure. We look at it as a cultur
al artifact unique to Mexico."
The painting, valued at $1 mil
lion, will taken down from viewing
at the museum Sunday, but
Shimkoski said he is not sure when
it will be returned to Mexico.
Customs agents seized the paint
ing from a broker in Austin in No
vember 1989, and the museum
gained temporary custody of it in
March 1990.
Shimkoski said although the
court ruled it belonged to the U.S.
government, the customs agency
still had to pay the lien holder
$430,000.
The court also found those who
received the painting in the United
States were innocent of any charges,
he said.
In an odd twist, the agency paid
for the lien with money seized in
busts.
"Drug dealers paid for the paint
ing," he said. "I think that's kind of
poetic justice."
Painted by an unknown artist
about 1763 and based on an eyewit
ness account, it is the oldest work
from the Spanish coloniaT period in
Texas.
It describes the massacre at the
mission on the south bank of the
San Saba River in southwest Texas.
The 7-foot-by-10-foot oil on can
vas was commissioned by the
Romero de Terreros. family, who
had lost a member in the massacre.
It remained in the family's posses
sion until 1980.
It was somehow was brought
into the United States in 1981, and a
dealer sold it to renowned collector
Peter Wray of Phoenix for $500,000.

NEW YORK— Seventy-six
new regulations prepared by the
Environmental Protection
Agency are being held up by the
White House, some in violation
of congressional deadlines, ac
cording to a confidential EPA re
port.
The stalled regulations include
some of the major provisions of
the 1990 Clean Air Act intended
to control smog, reduce acid rain,
protect the ozone layer and re
duce toxic air pollutants.
"The administration is holding
up numerous rules, which is ille-
and which is not consistent
With the goal of protecting hu-
nian health and the environ-
tient," said a senior EPA official
who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
The report says that eight reg
ulations are currently being
blocked by the White House even
though congressional deadlines
for their completion have passed.
A copy of the Sept. 22 report
Was obtained by The Associated
less. Among the blocked regu
lations is the set of rules govern
ing the trading of air pollution
amissions, a program touted for
'alying on markets to curb acid
r ain. The rules were due May 15.
Another regulation that missed
ds deadline would require tighter
amission controls on new inciner
ators and chemical plants.
Yet another would require
t repairmen recycle ozone-de
pleting chemicals from refrigera
tors and air conditioners instead
ufventing them into the air.
