AEA names A&M
economics prof V.P.
By Jonathan Kolmetz
THE BATTALION
The American Economic
Association (AEA) elected
Texas A&M economics profes
sor Dr. Finis Welch to serve as
one of its two vice presidents for
the upcoming year.
Welch, a distinguished profes
sor of Economics at A&M, will
serve this national post for the
AEA in 2002.
The AEA is a professional
economics association that
publishes the Journal of Labor
Economics and has over
22,000 members.
Welch was one of four mem
bers nominated by the 2000-
2001 AEA board.
“Scheduling meetings and
serving on nominating boards
for awards and future offi
cers are the main duties,”
Welch said.
The AEA gives out the wide
ly acclaimed Walker Prize every
five years, which Welch said is
comparable to the Nobel Peace
prize of economics.
Welch earned his undergrad
uate in economics at the
University of Houston and a
Ph.D. at the University of
Chicago.
Academia is my
life. I have been doing
it for 37 years, nothing
is going to change
that.
— Dr. Finis Welch
AEA Vice President
Welch was elected presi
dent-elect for the Society of
Labor Economists (SEE), an
international organization, for
2003-2004.
Welch will serve one year as
vice president and the following
year as president.
“As president-elect and pres
ident, I am able to create an
agenda for the annual meeting
each spring and give a ‘State of
the Economy’ address,” Welch
said.
Welch is currently the presi
dent of Welch Consulting and
chairman of STATA Corporation.
He has been a Private
Enterprise Research Center
research fellow at A&M since
1991.
Welch said he is not the type
to grab headlines or run to
Washington, D.C. He said
everything he is committed to
has not and will not affect his
position at A&M.
“The boards and committees
that I serve on meet the first
week of January and over the
summer,” Welch said. “They do
not interfere with my work here
at A&M.”
Welch said that although he
has received positions on com
mittees and boards across the
nation, he is not looking to move
anywhere.
“Academia is my life. I have
been doing it for 37 years, noth
ing is going to change that,” said
Welch.
Bryan City Council discusses TXU’s natural gas rate increase
The Bryan City Council increased the city’s
natural gas rate by 13.71 percent at its meet
ing Tuesday night.
The council approved only 68 percent of
what TXU had requested. The increase will be
implemented over the next two years.
The council also welcomed Mary Kaye, the
new Bryan city manager, to her first official
city council meeting. During the meeting, the
council recessed for a reception to welcome
Kaye to the city and her new job.
A public hearing regarding the renaming of
the Central Business Corridor was also on
the agenda. The council did not hear com
ments on this matter because 25 to 30 citi
zens were against the change. The council
did not rename any streets in the Central
Business Corridor and it motioned to hear
the question again at a later meeting.
U.S. pledges to reduce
nuclear arsenal
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Bush pledged Tuesday
to slash the United States’
nuclear arsenal by two-thirds, to
as few as 1,700 warheads, and
Russian President Vladimir
Putin said he might “respond in
kind.” The leaders failed to agree
on Bush’s missile shield plans.
In private talks and then in an
East Room news conference, the
leaders opened a three-day visit
that will focus on the budding
U.S.-Russian alliance against
terrorism and nagging differ
ences over the 1972 Anti-
Ballistic Missile Treaty.
“The position of Russia
remains unchanged,” Putin said
of his government’s objection to
scrapping the treaty that bars
national missile defenses.
The talks moved to Bush’s
ranch in Crawford, Texas, last
Wednesday where U.S. offi
cials held out hopes for accord
on the missile shield issue.
Both leaders indicated their
relationship had buried vestiges
of the Cold War.
“Together, we’re making his
tory as we make progress,” Bush
said. “We’re transforming our
relationship from one of hostili
ty and suspicion to one based on
cooperation and trust.”
In a blizzard of paper, the
pair formalized a series of
agreements to combat bioterror
ism, bolster the Russian econo
my, battle money laundering
that finances terrorism and
strengthen Russia’s ties to
NATO — the 19-member mili
tary alliance formed to counter
Moscow in the Cold War.
It was the issue of weapons
that underscored their greatest
agreement and disagreement.
Bush, who promised in the
presidential campaign to signifi
cantly reduce U.S. nuclear
stockpiles regardless of whether
Russia reciprocated, announced
his intention to slash the nation’s
long-range nuclear arsenal to
between 1,700 and 2,200
weapons over the next decade.
The United States currently
has about 7,000 nuclear war
heads. Russia has about 5,800,
but cannot afford to keep them.
Bush called his proposal
“fully consistent with
American security.”
Putin replied: “We appreciate
very much the decision by the
president to reduce strategic
offensive weapons to the limits
indicated by him and we, for our
part, will try to respond in kind.”
There were small signs of
discord.
Putin said he wanted the
nuclear targets in writing,
“including the issues of verifica
tion and control.” The U.S. pres
ident said it was enough that he
had “looked the man in the eye
and shook his hand.” But Bush
said he would be willing put the
agreement in writing.
On the ABM treaty. Bush
hopes to persuade Putin to
allow the United States to pro
ceed with research and devel
opment of a missile shield
without declaring the work a
violation of the 1972 pact. In
exchange. Bush promised Putin
in their meeting to keep Russia
informed of the tests.
U.S. officials said the propos
al would give both men what
they want: Bush could begin
developing a missile shield and
Putin could tell his public that he
kept the ABM intact. Putin said
he was open to discussing the
issue with Bush in Crawford.
