		Ralph Peer acted as "publisher" and kept 75 percent of the royalties on the copyrights.

	Governor Bush's Role in Dismantling Texas Air Regulations
		In December of 1996, Ralph Marquez, Gov. Bush's first appointee to the TNRCC, called eleven major industry representatives together to discuss the future of grandfathered polluting industries in Texas.

		After further work in private, the plan was presented on June 19, 1997 to a group of 40 representatives of grandfathered industrial plants, with Gov. Bush's environmental policy advisor, John Howard in attendance.
