CONFESSIONS-
STATE CAPITAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By Lyndell Williams
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN — Sen. Walter
Mengden, Houston Republi-
can, announced he will
strongly oppose any attempt
in the Texas Legislature to
ratify the proposed amend-
ment to the U.S. Constitu-
tion to give Washington.
D.C., two U.S. senators.
"I am shocked and ap-
palled that two-thirds of the
members of the U.S. Con-
gress would vote for some-
thing so incredibly stupid,”
he said.
“To give the city of Wash-
ington, D.C., two voting
U.S. senators—the exact
same representation the en-
tire state of Texas has in the
Senate—is utter insanity,"
the out-spoken senator said.
Washington, D.C., is not a
state, it is a city. If it needs
representation in the U.S-
Senate, then the people
should be allowed to vote for
the U.S. senators from Vir-
ginia, but not have two all
their own," Mengden said.
Clayton Eyes Tenure
House Speaker Bill Clay-
ton's staff is reportedly work-
ing on a proposal to abolish
tenure for all new faculty
members at public colleges
and universities in the state.
The tenure system would
be replaced with 10-year re-
newable contracts, subject to
review by administrators and
faculty members.
A Clayton aide said this
does not mean the speaker is
committed to pushing the
legislation during the next
legislative session which be-
gins in January. "The speak-
er’s staff works on proposals
of interest to him and House
members often pick them up
and sponsor them.”
Former Gov. Allan Shiv-
ers, chairman of the UT
System Board of Regents,
said he doesn’t expect UT to
take a position until the pro-
posal is discussed at length.
Yantis’ New Job
Hugh C. Yantis Jr., for-
mer State Insurance Board
chairman, is the new execu-
tive director of the National
Resources Council. Gov.
Briscoe appointed Yantis, 64,
to the $38,592-a-year post
after the Senate, during the
special session, voted 29-1
against Yantis’ appointment
to the Insurance Board post.
Only Bryan Sen. Bill Moore
voted for the confirmation
of Yantis after Austin Sen.
Lloyd Doggett invoked the
traditional "Senatorial cour-
tesy” to block the appoint-
ment.
Frank Sheffield, head of
the Natural Resources Coun-
cil since it was created last
December, was transferred
to a natural resources post in
the Governor’s Office of
Budget and Planning. Shef-
field was paid $30,000 while
sitting in the chair now oc-
cupied by Yantis.
After only one day on his
new job, Sheffield resigned
saying that he was “deeply
disappointed in the decision
to replace me as director of
the Natural Resources Coun-
cil.”
Yantis’ appointment is not
subject to Senate confirma-
tion since 1977 legislation
creating the Council states
the executive director will
serve at the pleasure of the
governor. Most observers
agree Yantis does not expect
to continue in the job after
Briscoe leaves office in Jan-
uary.
AG Opinions
A district judge who is
eligible for retirement may
be assigned as a special judge
even though he may have
been defeated for reelection,
Attorney General John Hill
said.
In other opinions, Hill
concluded:
—A complaint to a city
concerning a subcontractor’s
administration of a CETA-
funded project is subject to
disclosure under the Open
Records Act.
—The Texas Pawnshop
Act is not applicable to state
banks which under normal
banking practices take pos-
session of tangible personal
property as collateral for
loans.
—Taxicab financial and
usage reports submitted to a
city are subject to disclosure
under the Open Records Act.

Fort Worth. During his Tex-
as stop, Jarvis took on AFL-
CIO President Harry Hub-
bard in a radio debate which
became heated at times.
Hubbard's frequent calls
for a “more considered ap-
proach” to tax matters are
causing observers to wonder
whether organized labor will
oppose the tax relief amend-
ment this fall.
Mondale Visit
Vice President Walter
Mondale made a series of
stops in Texas last weekend
designed to boost the candi-
dacy of senatorial hopeful
Rep. Bob Krueger. One of
Mondale's stops included
Austin where he attended a
reception honoring State
Democratic Party Chairman
Calvin Guest.
