Garcia Abrego faces 20 counts of conspira cy, distributing 13 1/2 tons of cocaine into the United States and illegally laundering or trans ferring some $8.6 million. Once on the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted” list, Garcia Abrego is one of the biggest names caught by the U.S. government after years of tracking his routes from Mexico into South Texas. Jury selection, expected to take several days, began without incident or protests and with heightened security at the federal cour thouse. In addition to the regular metal detector at the building entrance, spectators also had to go through a second device placed immediately outside the courtroom. The defendant sat stoical at the defense table, a set of earphones clamped over his head so he could hear the proceedings trans lated to him in Spanish. U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. methodically questioned 99 potential jurors’ about their dealings with law enforcement and own brushes with the criminal court sys tem. More than half — 52 — of the pool had heard or read about the case in the media. Of the entire pool, 30 had relatives or friends in law enforcement. Since Garcia Abrego’s Jan. 14 arrest in Mexico and transfer to Houston to face the charges, both the U.S. Attorney’s office and defense lawyers have been about the case although no official gi has been invoked. “The court has requested today M the 16th of September, that tilt Attorney’s office not comment on the Juan Garcia Abrego until its comp! said a recorded message at the Attorney’s office in Houston. The trial is expected to last eightw “No comment,” said Tony C Garcia Abrego’s attorney, as he rush reporters for a quick lunch duringa time recess. The stage of the trial is partially resps for the information blackout. Cameras permitted in federal courtrooms. \ S Quayle C«k Saloon Tonight, September 17th Continued From Page 1 campaign and the elections. “Martin Luther King perhaps said it best,” he said. ‘“Don’t judge me by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.’” Quayle also said Clinton has changed his stance on family values to appeal to the public for re-election. He also said a recent speech by the president at the 1996 Democratic National Convention repeated sentiments similar to one given by Quayle four years earlier. “Clinton criticized my speech about family values (in 1992),” Quayle said. "In ’96 he gives my speech, and I had nothing to do with scripting that speech in Chicago.” Previously, some had consid ered Quayle a potential Republican presidential candi date. But Quayle nixed any pres idential aspirations when he dropped out of the race early. Quayle quoted Clinton as saying that “the era of big government is over,” then countered with a plug for the GOP as the true proponent of small government. “Then folks, the Republican Party should be in a position of power,” he said. Quayle also tackled the inter ests of college students, by addressing unemployment rates in the 18- to 30-year age group, saying Dole would provide more employment opportunities for young people. “Do you know what unem ployment between 18- and 30- year-olds is? Ten percent,” Quayle said. “Elect a new presi dent and we’ll reduce those rates. We will cut the unemploy ment rate in half.’’ Quayle concluded his by emphasizing the nee voter participation to kee Republican agenda alive. “I am here to tell you we focus,” Quayle said. "Wehau organized and have the dele: tion to get our vote out. “If we get our vote out, we keep our agenda American people: character, ing up for the middle taxes, balancing the budget, ing in education, investing future, standing up American family.” :,w 1 class, r.
