SENATE RULES ADOPTED
— Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby easily
won his first. big test of
authority in the Senate when
rules he favored were adopted
24-6.
One ot the most significant
rules for Hobby restored his
power to appoint all Senate
committees. A change adopted
last September fixed ap-
pointments on the basis of
seniority, leaving the lieutenant
governor authority only to fill
vacancies.
Another alteration in which
newspaper cxccuiivc
had a strong interest will
require Senators to vote in open
meeting on confirmation of
appointments by the governor.
Th > will still debate
qualifications and character of
appointees in closed sessions
unless two-thirds of Senators
vote otherwise.
Still another change in the
rulebook will make it more
difficult to resurrect bills on
"minority reports" which have
been "killed" in committee
earlier. Two-thirds of the
Senate must vote to permit
substitution of minority reports
for majority reports of com-
mittees. Hobby broke a 15-15 tie
in favor of the two-thirds rule.
The Senate rejected amend-
ments to permit shutting off
filibusters after 24 hours, to
permit Senators to elect their
own committees and to throw
debate on appointments wide
open. They also turned down by
a close margin an amendment
to retain executive sessions for
voting on appointments.

AUSTIN, - Legislation to
strengthen the open meetings
iaw cleared the House State
Affairs Committee promptly
and landed as the first bill on
the House calendar Monday.
The measure by Rep. Carl
Parker of Port Arthur would
delete from present law an
exemption for conferences
among staff members of a
governmental body. It would
also remove authority for the
governing body to hold closed
discussions with its attorney
unless ethical obligations of the
lawyer are involved.
The bill, backed by Speaker
Price Danie! Jr,; would further

prisonment in county jail for a
month to six months, or both.
A measure to guarantee

detoured to subcommittee.
GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES
PROGRAM - New Gov. Dolph
Briscoe swept into office last
week laying down a wide-
ranging program to the
Legislature his second day on
the job.
Briscoe emphasized the need
for cooperation with legislators
and other officials and said he
intends to be "the most per-
sistent lobbyist" lawmakers
will see this year.
Tone of the Governor's
inaugural address and initial
legislative message (several
supplements are promised to
fill in specific details) appeared
to impress legislators
favorably.
Most criticism centered on
Briscoe's get-tough iaw en-
forcement program which
includes restoring the death
penalty for murder of
policemen or firemen,
legalization of wiretapping as
permitted under federal law
and admission of oral con-
fessions in criminal trials.
Briscoe's assertion that
lowering of first offense
marijuana possession penalties
to misoemuanor status should
await general revision of drug
laws also brought some com-
plaints. He planned to present
his narcotics law revision to the
uc§iomi.iu^ uiw nwM.

priority proposals:
