Phil Gramm Schedules
Palestine Meeting
U.S. Senator Phil Gramm has in-
vited local residents to meet with
him at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept.
3, at the City Council Chambers of
the Palestine City Hall.
The tradition of holding region-
wide, open town meetings was
begun when Gramm was first elec-
ted to the Congress in 1978.
"Some of the best ideas that are
now on our lawbooks came from
citizens who attended our town
meetings," the senator noted.
"These meetings bring our
federal government home to the
people it serves," he said.
In December, Senator Gramm
won adoption of the Gramm-
Rudman legislation to eliminate the
federal budget deficit by 1991. Both
the Senate and the House approved
the bill overwhelmingly.
In his first year in the Senate,
Gramm already has been credited
with winning for Texas the five-
state, Gulf Coast-wide competition
to create a new home port for the
battleship U.S.S. Wisconsin, the
aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lexington
and a Navy task force.
The ships will be stationed in Cor-
pus Christi and Houston-Galveston.
Also, Congress adopted a wide-
ranging reform of Pentagon pur-
chasing policy authored by Gramm
in the 1986 Defense Authorization
bill.
The senator..holds a Ph.D. in
economics, the subject he taught at
Texas A&M University before win-
ning election to the U.S. House of
Representatives.
