George W. Bush, touring flood-ravaged areas Tuesday, asked President Clinton to de clare 20 Texas counties dis aster areas from the torren tial rains and flooding that has killed 18 people so far. “I think the thing that struck me was the empty slabs,” Bush said after a 35-minute helicopter ride over the Central Texas cities of San Marcos, Seguin and New Braunfels. Bush said he is seeking ex pedited disaster relief for: Bas trop, Bexar, Burleson, Caldwell, Calhoun, Colorado, Comal, De- Witt, Fayette, Goliad, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Hays, Jackson, Karnes, Refugio, Travis, Victoria, Wharton and Wilson counties. No dollar estimate of dam age has been made yet be cause of the continuing emer gency, Bush’s office said. If approved by the federal government, Bush’s request could provide help for individ uals and business owners in the affected counties. That could include such programs as disaster housing assis tance, individual and family grants, farm assistance, dis aster unemployment assis tance and Small Business Ad ministration disaster loans. “I know a lot of people's lives have been turned upside down,” Bush said. “But help is on the way.” “Texas A&M has been working with the Army and NATO to clean up chem ical warfare and terrorism using this bacterial enzyme,” Wild said. Wild headed a field test in Arcachon, France, for NATO. The bacterial enzyme was used to clean outdoor painted structures. The enzyme detoxified the paint in 20 minutes. “We have to generate the right kind of interest and enthusiasm for field tri als,” Wild said. Another field trial to occur in Ger many in six months will use the en zyme in a controlled situation com bined with firefighter foam because firefighters are now working on meth ods to detect and clean up chemicals through a program called HAZMAT, Hazardous Materials. In a write-up provided by Wild, the studies found “large-scale tests in fire fighting solutions demonstrated a greater than 99 percent destruction [of the chemicals] in 15 to 30 minutes.” "We ultimately want to use it (the enzyme) in all high-tech emergency systems,” Wild said. Donnelly said the enzyme will re duce costs of combating chemical weapons. “We want to reduce overall cost re quired to clean chemical warfare agents and not release toxic chemicals,” Don- tam con carl tippe n, th self c erity not ften ss tT void ttvelii nly < cript Isold i |e por natt r.
