HOUSTON (AP) — The federal trial of Juan
Garcia Abrego, the 52-year-old alleged leader
of the Gulf drug cartel, opened Monday with
the start of jury selection.
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.

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.”
