TEMPORARY TAXES
Governor Bill Clements today
urged the Texas Senate to
pass as soon as possible
House-approved measures
that would make permanent
the so-called temporary
taxes, maintaining the current
revenue revenue stream.
The governor stated that
H.B, 9k 1 and H.B. 9k2, which
would raise $2.9 billion during
ttie next biennium and were
passed by the House In March,
are needed to ensure that the
state does not face a
cash-flow crisis later this
year.
Approving the temporary
taxes is one issue that we all
can agree on," Clements said.
"It Is a solution to the poten-
tial cash-flow problem that
Treasurer Ann Richards has
discussed for several months.
"The Senate needs to act
quickly. We cannot have a
cash-flow problem. The
solution Is to make the
temporary taxes permanent.
Once that problem is solved,
we can then focus on the ne-
gotiation and the discussion to
resolve the entire budget
Issue."
Clements said he is confident
that the House and Senate will
continue working with him to
solve the budget problem,
"We have come a long way,",
the governor said in referring
to budget negotiations. "There
Is still a tong way to go, but
we are making progress and
we are all working In absolute
gOUd Idilil. vvntJtner ' con
solve this budget issue In the
remaining days of the regular
session, or whether a special
session is needed, the fact
remains that a solution will be
found.
"The problem will be solved."

BENTSEN WORKING TO
PROVIDE RURAL DOC-
TORS BETTER ACCESS
TO CONSULTATION
WITH SPECIALISTS AND
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Washington. D C. - Senator
Lloyd Bentsen said Saturday
he is considering several in-
itiatives to help Texans in rural
areas have immediate access,
via satellite, to modern medical
care.
“The legislation would set
aside some of the money in the
Medicare medical education
fund and. perhaps, change
some of the Medicare reim-
bursement arrangements so we
can push development of this
modern technology for the
benefit of rural Texas." Bent-
sen said.
It would spur the use of
satellites and computers in
making the latest medical ser-
vices available to doctors and
patients in rural areas, as well
as to different areas within
cities It could also help
resolve some of the problems
associated with Peer Review
Organizations.
“The Texas Tech Medical
School already is working on
computer link-ups with some
of the doctors in small tow ns to
gn e them the adv antages of the
education and the training of its
specialists in various lines of
medicine-and they 're going to
improve on that with satellite
connections." Bentsen said
“Just imagine." he explain-
ed. “you’re in a tiny town -
Vi'U it- .t piiy ml i.ui tlicic -and
all of a sudden you have access
to all the things they have in
the big cities For example,
you can have a pathologist
looking at a microscopic piece
of tissue and making a diag-
nosis. via satellite You can
talk to a renowned heart sur-
geon about a very difficult
operation you're going to
have, get his counsel and ad-
vice and actually see it "
Bentsen said that when Con-
gress considers a budget recon-
ciliation bill later this year, he
hopes to attach amendments
that would aid projects such as
this A related initiative would
allow the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to deter
mine whether, during the PRO
appeal process, a doctor may
continue treating patients or
have those privileges termi
nated immediately
“Some of the rural areas are
haying trouble nowadays with
Peer Review One thing these
PROs have reminded us of is
that it’s a lot easier for doctors
in cities to update their profes-
sional skills or to consult w uh a
specialist than it i for their
rural colleagues. Bentsen
said
“These new computers and
satellite hookups can change
all that, and I want to speed the
proces along. Senator Bent
sen said.

Diabetic camp near Gainesville
Every summer, over 300
young people between the
ages of six and eighteen
attend a very exclusive camp
near Gainesville, The entrance
requirements are strict: the
child must have diabetes.
Too often, regular summer
camps turn away a child with
diabetes because of their
special diet and medical
needs. But Camp Sweeney,
organized over 35 years ago,
Is o place for the diabetic to
learn while having fun. All of
the activities of a regular
summer comp are offered:
horseback riding, swimming,
boating, fishing, arts and
crafts, rlftery and many more
sports, plus movies, dances
and carnivals in the evenings.
Sandwiched between the fun
things are interesting sessions
on medical and dietary infor-
mation to help the campers
take care of themselves and
learn to live productive lives
with their affliction under
control.
Diets are formulated
according to each individual's
needs, giving the diabetic
valuable examples of how to
exchange foods to include an
occasional "treat" so he won't
feel left out around h|s friends
at home.
Located on rolling wooded
acreage 10 miles northeast of
Gainesville, the site is
bordered on the south by a
religion, or notional origin.
Established In 1950, Comp
Sweeney was the first
educational and recreational
training center In the South
for children with diabetes
mettltus. Thousands of
youngsters are living a setf--
sufficlent, healthy life due to
their training at Camp
Sweeney.

and application forms, write

western Diabetic Foundation,

Just call him "four eyes"
Rattlesnakes hav four sight
organs According to Ranger
Rick magazine, two of these
organs kx>k and work verv
much like our eyes The other
two are in front of the regular
eyes and are called pit organs
Pit organs are very sensitive to
heat With these “eyes" the
snake can “see" the heat rays
coming from its prey's body
Even it its regular eyes are
blindfolded, the rattlesnake can
very easily strike al and kill its
prey
