The hijackers of a Kuwaiti
airliner held at Tehran airport
for four days have threatened to
kill another American and three
Kuwaitis if Kuwait continues to
spurn their demands, Iran’s
news agency said.
In New York, Iran’s U.N. am-
bassador brushed aside sugges-
tions by U.S. officials that his
country sympathized with the
“criminal” hijackers, saying:
“I assure you they will be ar-
rested, they will be charged.
But he said military action
against them was a last resort.
Iran’s official Islamic
Republic News agency said that
just before the release of eight
hostages Friday, shooting was
said water is “perhaps the
most significant long-term
issue facing the state of Texas
and its citizens.”
The proposal calls for $600
million in bonds for water
development, creation of a
bond insurance program,
creation of an Agricultural
Soil and Water Conservation
Fund, regional groundwater
planning, and also contains a
section on the protection of
bays and estuaries.
Truan said, however, “It of-
fers very little protection, and
if it is enacted, we will hardly
have any bays and estuaries
left.”
He said the proposal
“reduces by at least 100 per-
cent the degree of protection
afforded the bays and
estuaries” in the 1983 Senate
measure that failed to pass
the Legislature.
Also, “Truan said, “Allowing
the river authorities to sit on
advisory councils to study the ,
bays and estuaries is like
electing Dracula to the board
of directors of your local
blood bank.”
He said without loans to
AUSTIN (AP) - A coastal
senator who puts conserva-
tion above all else in any
statewide water plan says
building “massive water
development projects is an
idea whose time has come and
gone.”
Sen. Carlos Truan com-
plained that a $600 million
water proposal “proposes a
massive scheme of water
development projects, that is,
dams and reservoirs, before
any semblance of a self-
respecting water conserva-
tion program is in place and
given half a chance.’-’
Truan, D-Corpus Christi,
joined State Agriculture Com-
missioner Jim Hightower, a
Sierra Club representative
and others in testifying Fri-
day before the Joint Commit-
tee on Water Resources.
The committee was formed
in 1983 after the House and
Senate were unable to settle
their differences on statewide
water proposals. It has met in
Lubbock, Dallas, Houston,
Corpus Christi and El Paso
but Friday was the first time
for comment on a new pro-
posal supported by Gov. Mark farmers for modern irrigation ,

Texas, Israel to begin exchange program
Texas-Israeli trade agreements.
The program will be run under
the auspices of the Texas
Department of Agriculture,
although it will be privately
funded, Hightower said.
“Texas and Israel share much
more than the same parallel on
the map, ” Hightower said.
“We share such common
denominators as climate and
soil ... a pragmatic and in-
novative agricultural industry, a
can-do entrepreneurial spirit
and a deep and rich cultural
pride. There is ample reason to
extend our hands across 8,000
miles to form such a partner-
ship, so we’re doing it.”
As an example, he pointed to
cooperation between the state
General Land Office and Israelis
who are studying state-owned
lands in West Texas to see
whether Israeli techniques of
low-water agriculture might be
used in the region.
That effort is particularly ap-
pealing, said two members of
the new exchange committee,
state Sen. John Montford of Lub-
bock arid County Judge Pat
O’Rourke of El Paso.
“We see this as a tremendous
opportunity to learn,” O’Rourke
said. “The Israelis have really
pioneered this area of irrigation
in an arid area. We need that
help.”
Montford said the Israelis
have developed “some of the
very best ideas” in water con-
servation and technology.
Hightower said the exchange
between Texas and Israel is the
first time a U.S. state has form-
ed such a link with another coun-
try. He also said similar
agreements are being worked
out between Texas and some
states of Mexico.
“There is no other state in the
United States that has this level
of a formal relationship with
Israel,” Hightower said.
“It is one of our efforts to
move our state ... directly into
the international sphere. There’s
no need for us to wait and see
what the (U.S.) State Depart-
ment has on its mind. We can get
out there and mix and mingle on
our own,” he said.
AUSTIN (AP) - A new pro-
gram is being started that will
allow Texas and the nation of
Israel to exchange ideas,
research and products in a uni-
que program, officials say.
Called the Texas-Israeli Ex-
change, the program will enable
government officials, academic
leaders and businessmen to
work on projects in many areas,
said Agriculture Commissioner
Jim Hightower.
“It’s really going to be a
catalyst to develop projects bet-
ween Israeli interests and Texas
interests,” Hightower said Fri-
day, adding that he expects the
projects to include water conser-
vation, farm crops and direct
water plan at all. We’ve mere-

A seminar entitled “Managing
Front-Line Employees” will be
held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday at the Holiday Inn,
300 S. Highway 146 in Baytown.
Management consultant
Lynette Relyea will conduct the
seminar, co-sponsored by the
Baytown Chamber of Com-
merce.
“The front-line employee has
the most direct influence on the
customer and the greatest op-
portunity to influence customer
buying,” Ms. Relyea explained.
“The organization that
recognizes and builds upon that
strength can dramatically in-
crease its sales by being
customer driven.”
The first part of the seminar
willtocus on methods of being a
more effective manager of front-
line employees. Other topics will
include creating an environment
to motivate employees and
developing skills and attitudes
among employees dealing
directly with customers.
“Customer service is not
limited to retail sales fields. The
same principles apply to
employees working for parallel
industries such as financial in-
stitutions, health care providers
and service industries,” Ms.
Reylea said.
Cost of the seminar is $95,
which will cover the cost of
materials and a buffet lunch.
More information may be ob-
tained by calling Ms. Reylea at
(713) 424-1691.
