The recent $1.2 million pur
chase of the near bankrupt La
Salle Hotel, an ongoing plan to
revitalize the downtown area of
Bryan and finding a new city
manager to replace Mike Conduff
are a few items on the agenda the
City of Bryan will be addressing
during the next couple of months.
Hugh Walker, interim city
manager for Bryan, has tilled
the position since Conduff
departed five months ago for the
same position in Denton. Bryan
is now looking to fill the city
manager position as soon as
possible.
A pool of 12-15 applicants
was narrowed down to just six
people following interviews con
ducted on Friday and Saturday
this past weekend. Walker said
the candidates come from most
ly midwestem states and have
had some city managerial expe
rience. It is unknown when a
final decision will be announced.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A California busi
nessman, pardoned by former President Clinton
for a 1983 fraud conviction, refused to testify
Monday at a Senate hearing investigating his
dietary supplement business.
Almon Glenn Braswell and the editor of his
Journal of Longevity magazine, Ron Tepper.
both asserted their Fifth Amendment right
against self-incrimination at a hearing of the
Senate Special Committee on Aging.
Scott Mulhauser, press spokesman for the
committee, said there were no plans to pursue
an effort to grant limited immunity to Braswell
and Tepper. The committee chairman. Rep. John
Breaux, D-Louisiana, would rather concentrate
on better government regulation of diet supple
ments that fail to produce their promised mira
cle cures.
Committee members had sought to question
the two men on whether their products actually
improved memory, increased sex drive and
slowed aging as advertisements f
