Carters Visit Texas
Amid the hubbub of last
week’s disruptions, former
President Jimmy Carter quietly
visited Texas, touring the LBJ
Library in Austin and the LBJ
Ranch near Johnson City.
Carter reportedly consulted
with Lady Bird Johnson about a
presidential library in Georgia.
Former Vice President
Walter Mondale also recently
slipped quietly into Texas to
meet with Railroad Commis-
sioner Buddy Temple and some
two dozen conservative Demo-
crats. Mondale apparently
wanted to meet with Texas
business leaders during a
relaxing weekend to discuss a
future presidential bid.
Waste Bill Signed
Governor Bill Clements last
week signed into law a bill
regulating storage and disposal
of low-level nuclear waste.
Clements has indicated the
measure will help Texas in a
crisis in radioactive waste
disposal.
The Senate voted to increase
pensions, for most retired
teachers, from 2 to 21 percent to
meet cost of living hikes.. The
bill went to the House where
little opposition is foreseen.
Senators also voted to
improve public disclosure laws
for contributions from political
action committees (PACS). The
measure would require PACS to
disclose the occupation or
employer of each contributor
on the list, Violators could be
jailed for a year and fined. The
bill was sent to the House.

The Corps of Engineers treatment of "navigable
waters’* is perhaps the classic case of a simple, clear-cut
law being turned into an oppressive and nonsensical
regulatory beast.
In 1972, Congress passed the Federal Water pollution
Control Act authorizing the Corps to issue permits for
activities in navigable waters involving the discharge of
dredged or fill material. “Navigable waters” had been
defined since 1899 as “waters navigable in interstate or
foreign commerce,” and certainly the federal government
has an obligation to regulate those waters.
But in the regulatory process, the term has been
expanded to mean the “waters of the United States” — a
