AUSTIN — Texas took another
step closer last week toward private
control over public assistance pro-
grams.
State welfare administrators an-
nounced that Electronic Data Sys-
tems tentatively has been hired as
the primary consultant for the fu-
ture of Texas’ welfare system.
Officials said they hope to sign
a $3.7 million contract with EDS
by the middle of August.
EDS will advise welfare officials
on the development and purchase of
an updated, automated system for
the delivery of food stamps, cash
and medical benefits to more than
2 million Texans.
“The consultant will assist us
with redesigning the way we cur-
rently do the work associated
with enrolling clients,” said Texas
Health and Human Services Com-
missioner Mike McKinney.
According lo state officials, if
the contact is signed as anticipated,
EDS will be precluded from
bidding on the actual redesign of
the present welfare system.
“We made a decision, and it
wasn’t made without debating the
pros and cons. At this state, this
is a very important project for us,
said Bob Stauffer, vice president
for human services at EDS, told the
Dallas Morning News.

Hutchison also opposes the nomi-

Gramm’s spokesman, Larry Neal
said the senator is opposed to
the nomination in part because
Schattman has long been active in
party politics.

After the nomination failed to re-

renominated Schattman earlier this
year.
Other Capital Highlights
■ State Sen. John Whitmire
said last week he will not be a
candidate for Houston mayor this
year. “I don’t have to be mayor
to continue making a difference,”
the Democratic lawmaker said. In
a written statement, Whitmire said
he prefers to use his seniority in
the state Senate and his work with
a new lieutenant governor to help
Houston and Harris county.
■ A federal judge has ordered
that Texas Attorney General Dan
Morales must testify in a court
challenge to a law barring state
employees from testifying against
the state as expert witnesses.
The Texas Faculty Association and
Robert Hoover, a Texas A&M
professor in Corpus Christ, are
fighting the new law. Hoover
wanted to serve as an expert witness
on behalf of tobacco companies the
state is suing.
network is expected to include an
overhaul of the computer systems,
the possible elimination of some
state jobs and maybe the creation
of so-called “one-stop” welfare
offices.
Clinton Picks Robert Geo
President Clinton plans to nom-
inate Texan Robert Gee as assis-
tant secretary for policy and inter-
national affairs of the Department
of Energy.
Gee serves on the Texas Public
Utility Commission and was its
chairman from 1991 until 1995.
With more than 20 years expe-
rience in the regulation of energy,
Gee would be one of eight assis-
tant secretaries at the Energy De-
partment. The appointment is sub-
ject to Senate confirmation.
Appointed to the Texas PUC
by former Gov. Ann Richards in
October 1991, Gee is a lawyer who
once worked at the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
At the PUC, Gee was the state’s
highest-ranking Asian-American.
His grandparents immigrated to the
United States from China.
Two-Thirds Fail Algebra I
Final results on the Algebra I
test released by the Texas Education
Agency showed that 35 percent of
the 236,852 students who took the
exam in the spring passed.
The figure represented an im-
provement over last year — the first
year of the test — when 28 percent
passed the Algebra I test.
Students performed much better
on Biology I, the other major
end-of-course exam as 78 percent
passed. That was up 2 percentage
points from last year.
“Student pcrfornuncc is improv-
ing. That is a positive sign,”
said state Education Commissioner
Mike Moses.
But he acknowledged that Al-
gebra 1 is a concern for teachers
across the state. “That is unsat-
isfactory,” Dr. Moses said. “We
must do a better job working with
our teachers and in staff develop-
ment."

He added that although the
middle school was not
recognized, he is still proud of
the students there, because
they were subjected to more
rounds of tests than the other
students.
Last year the Sanger ISD
earned a “Recognized” rating
from the TEA. Rosenberg
theorized that because the
district fared so well last
year, the TEA’s expectations
for the Sanger ISD became
greater as well, and the
district was held up to a higher
standard.
Nevertheless, he said that
