for another big chunk of the defense
dollar.
Despite its strength in the defense
sector, however. Texas fell from
39th to 40th in per capita federal
spending among the states, receiv-
ing $2,949 for each of its 16 8 million
residents during the fiscal year that
ended Sept 30,1988.
Overall, Texas received $49 5
billion in federal dollars, for pro-
grams ranging from agricultural
subsidies to welfare payments to
research grants.
Bringing down Texas in the na-
tional per capita rankings are lagg
mg receipts for social services such
as Medicare and Medicaid, and sup-
port for families living in poverty,
officials said.
While 6.7 percent of the country's
population lives in Texas, the state
received 5.6 percent of all federal
spending The state took in just 4.1
percent of the total Medicaid
dollars. 2 1 percent of the Aid to
Families with Dependent Children.
5.4 percent of Medicare payments Io
hospitals, and 5 percent of retire-
ment insurance payments under
Social Security.
On the up side, Texas ranked
third, behind only California, with
$23 billion, and Virginia, with $10
billion, in military procurement
"dollars totaling $9 biihon
Texas ranked 16th nationally in all
government contracts, with a $10
‘billion total.
. David Kellerman, chief of the Cen
'.'sus Bureau's federal finance
^branch, said the study tracked about
85 percent of all federal spending
• Excluded were such expenses as in-
terest on the federal debt, foreign
aid and payroll for U.S. military per-
sonnel stationed overseas
TIM "I.tie received a 6 4 |M'rcent
share of all federal salaries and
wages. 5.6 percent of all direct
payments to individuals. 5 6 percent
of procurement contract awards, in-
cluding 6.3 percent of defense con
tracts, and 5.5 percent of funds for
.all other programs

AUSTIN <AP» — Consumers
should not hesitate to ask their
grocers questions about fox! pro-
ducts. a Consumers Union
spokesman said in discussing
preliminary results of a grocery
store survey in four Texas cities
"With few notable exceptions, we
found that store representatives
were not very knowtedgable of the
practices of their suppliers or state
and federal laws relating to food
quality and safety.” John Hildreth
director of the southwest regional of-
fice of Consumers Union, said
Thursday
Consumers Union has surveyed
produce managers at about 60
grocery stores in Austin. Dallas San
Antonio and Houston, be said The
initial results show that most stores
rely on their suppliers word that
produce is pesticide-free, he said
"Only a feu take any action" to in-
dependently determine that produce
represented as organic actually is,
Hildreth said
“Consumers make certain
assumptions about the products they
buy based on representations made
to them by those grocers.” he said
"We think consumers have to be ag-
gressive in asking those questions of
grocers, so that they in turn will ask
questions of their suppliers and to
the growers about quality and safe-
ty" and whether produce meets
organic standards
Texas has a voluntary state cer-
tification program for organic pro-

; WASHINGTON (AP) - Texas
ranked 40th in per capita spending
last year, according to a Census
Bureau study that shows the state is
strong in military procurement but
weak in receipts for social services
The state ranked third in the coun-
try in defense contracts, and more
than one-third of Texas's share of
the military-procurement dollar was
spent in the county House Speaker
Jim Wright represents in Congress.
Loile Texas had $9 billion in
defense contracts, $3 6 billion of that
wps spent in Tarrant County, earn-
ing Wright’s home county a sixth-
jjilace ranking nationally.
