toward making allies and to recognize
our relationships with Arabia, Turkey
and Pakistan among other nations, he
added.
Rumsfeld also stressed the im-
portance of intelligence agencies in
keeping abreast of current affairs.
Referring repeatedly to what he
called the strategic circumstance in
the world today, Rumsfeld said, out of
155 nations, only 15 to 20 can be con-
sidered "free.” He compared the
figure to an estimated 50 “free” nations
in 1932.
In answering questions from the
audience, Rumsfeld said, “I am a
supporter of the all-volunteer draft and
it is working," adding he did not feel the
armed forces should be considered as a
part of the educational system.
Rumsfeld also stressed preparedness
as akey to military strength.
In reference to the Panama Canal, he
said he saw “no reason to hastily ratify
the teaty” and that nothing was gained
by doing so. There is no doubt Cuba is
being funded by the USSR and is
receiving aid in both intelligences and
troops from the Soviets and that Cuba
has extended its influence into Africa,
he added.
Despite the rather gloomy picture
presented by Rumsfeld, he indicated
there is hope for the future through
Congress. Congress will be responsive
if the people work to make it respon-
sive, he said.
Clayton spoke primarily on inflation
indicating Texans are faring better
than those in many other states. Texas
has the lowest tax burden per capita, he
said, but yet the large surplus in the
state teasury which has existed for the
past eight years, is dwindling. He said
he expects the, what used to be “billions
of dollars in surplus,” to be reduced to
an estimated $224 million by the end o f
the next acounting period.
“We can’t stop inflation without a
balance (in be budget),” Clayton said.
He advocated “O-based budgeting,
program evaluation and increased
activity by the Sunset Commission,
which was formed to help eliminate
unnecessary government agencies.
In chamber business, board mem-
bers voted to adopt a 1980 budget of
$683,000—nearly 98 percent of which is
earmarked for use in the promotion of
tourism and economic and commuiity
development throughout the East Texas
area.
Committee chairman elected at the
convention include: Buddy Storey,
Tyler, tourism; Tom Heath, Dallas,
economic development; Bob Bowman,
Lufkin, community deelopment and C.
Quinton Abernathy, Longview, public
affairs.
Board members elected to serve
from District 5, which includes Polk
County, are Alvin Holley, Livingston;
Bob Bowman, Lufkin; Jeff Hayes, Port
Arthur and Bill Hughes, Orange.

convenience this change
may have caused, we are ex-
tremely pleased to be able to
present Moe Brandy and Joe
Stampley,” said Show Presi-
dent Allen H. Carruth. “We
feel that the finest line-up of
stars in Houston Rodeo
history is only strengthened
with the addition of Moe and
Joe. We’re sure that
Houston Rodeo fans will en-
joy these two fine stars.”
Moe Brandy and Joe
Stampley are each in-
dividual stars in country
music. With similar strong
styles, they sing country
music that reflects the roots
of the people and places that
made country music so
popular. Each has been
recognized for singing coun-
try music as it’s meant to be
sung.
When Brandy and
Stampley teamed up as Moe
and Joe, they made millions
of new fans and became
everyone’s favorite “Good
Ole Boys.” Their individual
careers have continued to
climb; but as a team,
they’ve become the hottest
duo in country music today.
Their three singles as Moe &
Joe have been chart toppers.
At the Feb. 27 evening per-
formance, they’ll be perfor-
ming individually and as
Moe & Joe, the hottest team
in music, Carruth
said. Moe & Joe complete

Houston Rodeo history. The
