Tilton sues ABC,
Diane Sawyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TULSA, Okla. — Television
evangelist Robert Tilton sued ABC
News and reporter Diane Sawyer
on Tuesday, alleging two Prime-
Time Live broadcasts about his 1 ,
ministry were weaved together
with "rumors, gossip, half-truths
and lies."
The lawsuit, which asks for
more than $50,000, focuses on
three allegations made by ABC:
Tilton gets his Holy Water from
Taiwan, Tilton fails to pray per
sonally over prayer requests, and
Tilton fails to send money to an
orphanage in Haiti as he claims.

Environmentalists urge recycling legislation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Environmentalists urged Con
gress on Tuesday to pass legislation requiring news
papers to use a standard proportion of recycled
newsprint, arguing that not enough is being utilized
"to give paper recycling a fighting chance."
Representatives of newspapers and the paper
manufacturing industry disputed the environmen
talists' assertions and said industry groups would
continue to oppose federal and state legislation
while seeking to increase voluntary use of recycled
paper.
Susan Birmingham, director of recycling efforts for
the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, said the or
ganization found in a survey that only 19 percent of
the total tonnage used by the 56 biggest newspapers
was recycled paper.
"This is far below the amount necessary to give
paper recycling a fighting chance," Birmingham
said. "Mandatory recycled content legislation is nec
essary since voluntary measures are not working."
She said 11 states have passed such legislation.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee on
July 1 recommended a measure that would have re
quired newspapers to meet specific standards for re
cycled content, a bill supported by the environmen
talists. Congress did not pass it, but Birmingham
said the environmental group would urge the next
Congress to do so.
Failing that, the groups said they will seek legisla
tion in more states.
The Newspaper Association of America has op
posed federal requirements, arguing that they would
make it harder for small -and medium-sized news
papers to find recycled fiber newsprint to comply
with existing state laws and voluntary agreements.
Paul Boyle of the newspaper association said there
are 14 voluntary agreements between states and the
newspaper industry calling for the use of recycled
paper.
The Public Interest Research Group, in a report is
sued along with the National Environmental Law
Center, said more than half of the 12.6 million tons of
newspaper generated in 1991 was collected for recy
cling, but only 15 percent was used by newsprint
mills.
Richard Storat, vice president of the American Pa
per Institute in New York, challenged this figure,
saying about 30 percent of old newspapers go into
the manufacture of recycled newsprint.
Storat said the industry had increased the recovery
rate of all kinds of paper from 30 percent to 36.6 per
cent since 1978 and was on track toward its goal of
40 percent by 1995.
The Newspaper Association of America said the
number of North American mills producing signifi
cant amounts of recycled newsprint had increased
from nine to 27 since 1989 and 17 more are expected
to go into operation by mid-1995.
The environmentalists' report said the Atlanta
Journal had the highest rate of recycled paper use
among the 56 newspapers surveyed, 60.7 percent.
The Dallas Morning News, meanwhile, had the low
est rate, half of 1 percent, the report said.
Harold Carr, vice president for marketing at the
Dallas newspaper, said the figure "doesn't ring
true." Carr said that of 18,000 tons of newsprint used
by the newspaper last month, about half had some
recycled fiber in it. He said the percentage of recy
cled fiber ranges from 5 percent to 20 percent.
"Anybody with any sense of responsibility would
like to use as much recycled newsprint as possible,
but you have to look at availability and price," said
Carr.
Carr said The Dallas Morning News plans to ex
pand its use of recycled newsprint as rapidly as pos
sible and will be helped by Champion International's
plans to open a plant to produce such paper in the
Houston area next year.
Newsprint is one of a newspaper's largest operat
ing costs.
The environmental groups said the markets for re
cycled materials have been overwhelmed by in
creased supply because of the expansion of munici
pal recycling collection programs. The newsprint in
dustry hasnt kept pace, they said.
"This caused market prices for old newspapers to
decline, in many cases reaching negative values, and
newspapers collected for recycling often ended up in
landfills or incinerators," they said.
State workers getting raise
AUSTIN— State employees will get a 3 percent
pay raise due to higher than expected lottery ticket
sales and lower than expected franchise tax refunds.
State Comptroller John Sharp says.
The raise, which will begin in December, will
show up in employees' checks in the first week of
January, officials said.
Sharp announced the pay raise in a letter Monday
to Gov. Ann Richards, Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, House
Speaker Gib Lewis and members of the Legislature.
The letter fulfilled Sharp's legal obligation to give
lawmakers a revenue estimate as they convene in
special session today. Public school finance is the
only issue on their agenda so far.
Sharp estimated that there would be $244 million
more revenue this year than the amount estimated in
earlier budget projections. The pay raise this fiscal
year, which will end Aug. 31, 1993, will cost $96 mil
lion, leaving lawmakers $148 million to spend as
they wish, Sharp said.
