Governor's Office of General Counsel and Criminal Justice May 6, 1981 MEMO Austin, Texas 78711 Phone (512) 475-3021 TO: William P. Clements, Jr. FROM: David A. Dean VelpeALA..--- RE: A-OK Railroad Memorandum of Intent I have reviewed the A-OK Memorandum of Intent and recommend that you not sign the agreement at this time. To do so would commit you to work toward a plan which has serious constitutional questions under Article III, Sections 50, 51, and 52 of the Texas Constitution. Putting the constitutional issues aside, this type of plan would need enabling legislation. Without such a law the Memorandum of Intent would be useless. DAD/kfb cc: Paul Wrotenbery DAVID A. DEAN General Counsel
