Phil Gramm and two companions engaged in illegal hunting. HONGA RIVER, Md. (AP) — It is a story told for years among law enforcement offi cials on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, .where game wardens fight not only illegal hunting but also political intrusions from nearby Washington. They tell it this way: In a brown pickup truck. Sen. Phil Gramm and two companions eased down a dead-end gravel lane, just a hundred yards or so from Gramm’s Chesapeake Bay vacation house. The land was un der surveillance by game war dens who had spotted grain there and suspected it was illegally “baited” to lure ducks. The Texas senator and his friends, one of them hunting companion Harold L. ‘‘Sonny’’ Whiteley, chanced upon Bob Alexan der, a law en forcement offi cial with the state Depart ment of Nat ural Resources who noted they were wearing hunting garb and had shotguns. Whiteley intro duced himself and his passen gers, then turned his truck around and left. Alexander describes the Janu ary 1988 encounter clearly. “When someone introduces you to a senator, you tend to remember it,” he said. Six other law enforce ment officials confirmed hearing about the incident at the time, when local wardens met to coor dinate enforcement activities. Three spoke on the record; three others confirmed the encounter only on condition of anonymity, fearing job retribution. Through spokesman Larry Neal, Gramm denied the inci dent ever happened. “There was no trooper, no truck, no shotguns, no hunting garb, no nothing. That is a pure, total fabrication,’’ Neal said. He questioned the motives of those who recounted the incident. Whiteley, too, says there was no such encounter. Two former federal officials say Gramm — now a Republican presidential candidate — knew at the time his property was be ing watched. Just a few weeks earlier the senator had been tipped that his land was under surveillance by Frank H. Dun- kle, director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Gramm became a part of the Eastern Shore circle of lobby ists, businessmen and hunters in late 1986. He built a two-sto ry, 2,800-square-foot house on 35 acres overlooking the s; where the Honga River floJ - into the bay, in the heart the East Coast flyway for r 1 Agg grating waterfowl. ^ g eil<: Hunting ducks over an arat 7 p. baited with grain is illegal, i a constant headache for wild! officials trying to preserve dw dling duck populations. In Gramm’s case, most oft! feed was found on the proper4ecti of his neighbor, Whiteley, ancfu Id £ pond there was littered wipbr n hundreds of shotgun shell|kad " Ser Some feed also was found Gramm’s land, and because! surveillance involved a senakj word was sent up the chs-t|- ee of command. IflBiimc After a congressional subco -p mittee investigated in Gramm demanded an inter: review to ensure that Fish: Wildlife Service records refle he had not been cited for any olation, according to docume: j , released under the Freedom^ don < Information Act. Texas militias want to exercise rights, leaders sar >.m. i ai p£ 'or m ylh Q Militias believe force may be needed to protect constitu tional liberties. LA PORTE (AP) — Gerald Hollier, like most members of the Texas Constitutional Militia, is rarely at a loss of words for joining the group. “It’s very simple,” Hollier says, after a mili tia meeting in La Porte breaks up for the evening. “We’re at a standoff somewhere. We are not about terrorism. All we’re doing here is continuing to stay organized and a very last line of defense for our constitutional rights.” He talks at length about Waco, the Brady Law, GATT, NAFTA, the Crime Bill. Those are reasons, he says, citizens need to take a stand against the federal government, which has become much too large and overpowering. “People are just fed up,” said Hollier, a 55- year-old machinist from South Houston. The difference between militias and other dissatisfied citizenry is that some militia members believe the time for talk and voting may be soon over. They say they are merely a group of indi viduals showing the government that they will continue to exercise their rights: The freedom of speech, the freedom to vote and the freedom to bear arms. “Some of that feeling is borne out of the idea of ‘meet force with force,’ ” explains Will Blumentritt, commander of the Texas Consti- to some that constitutional rights are be t Nat "All we're doing here is con tinuing to stay organized and a very last line of defense for our constitutional rights." — Gerald Hollier, Texas Constitutional Militia member tutional Militia’s Bravo Unit in Harris Coun- ty.“People had seen the government using ex cessive force against people and you don’t have to look very far to see it.” Or very far back, members say. In the past three years, several events have demonstrated chipped away.

Then there was the passage of the B* gun registration bill in 1993 and of an as, ^ weapons ban last year. j 0 , “People feel like this could happf^ them,” Blumentritt says. “And they fee the government gets more and more for’' ' and the people need to show that they little force as well and I guess that’s the' ' it’s founded on.” § ^ ^ Sorority Fall Rush ‘95 Spring Forum Preview all the sororities Come join our Circle of Friendship at the MSC Flag Room Tues., May 2, 10 - 3 P.M.
