Gramm reportedly ducking
Q Witnesses of a 1 988
encounter believe Sen.
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.

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. I d ML 1114

“The supposed crime committed by D:^*< >up
Koresh, that of possibly having weapons flill E
didn’t comply with ATE guidelines or noth
ing the right permits filed to have tL Tex
weapons, if he had them, does not warrarMam:
people coming in and blasting their way® to
the facility,” said Blumentritt. “I thinlbo k
pretty clear to all of the American public^, ^
they could have served a warrant agr
David Koresh by simply detaining him»
he went into town for shopping or sometMj. e r
like that.” .
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.” § ^
