The group allows attorneys representing the state’s ports to meet and discuss maritime and legal issues. In addition to Davis, PHA representatives included then Administration Director William Colburn and Jack Rook, PHAcontract administrator. The Greater Houston Chamber of Commerce and the Houston Economic Development Council have announced plans to create an umbrella organization that will govern and coordinate both entities. Directors for the two groups instructed a coordinating committee to develop plans for the new organization, the name for which has not yet been selected. SEPARATE IDENTITIESThe chamber and HEDCwill maintain separate identities and missions after the new organizational structure is in place. However, executives with each group will report to the president and chief executive officer of the umbrella organization. Lee Hogan, currently president of HEDC,will be president of the new organization. Charles Savino has been serving as acting president of the chamber. Gerry Griffin recently resigned from the chamber presidency to accept a private-sector position. BACKGROUND HEDCwas established in 1984 in response to Houston’s economic recession. The council has concentrated on diversifying and developing the city’s economy. The two organizations have different missions, said HEDCChairman John Walsh. The chamber seeks to provide a supportive environment for business in Houston, while HEDC’s goal is to create jobs by promoting business start-ups, expansions and relocations. "These two functions are very different processes involving different activities and professional requirements, yet the overall program’s success depends upon effective coordination," Walsh said. FUNDING HEDC is funded by the business community, the City of Houston, Harris County and the Port of Houston Authority. The chamber is funded by membership dues. Once the new organization is in place, contributors may specify which organization their money should go to or may split their contributions between the two groups.

The honors were announced recently at the Admiral of the Ocean Sea Award dinner held at the Sheraton Centre in New York. ROSETTE In addition to the Mariner’s Plaques, a Mariner’s rosette went to Capt. John Hunt, master of the vessel SEA ISLE CITY, hit by a Silkworm missile in the Persian Gulf on Oct. 16, 1987. Hunt was severely injured and blinded in the attack. "Capt. Hunt exemplifies the type of courageous individual the United States needs to support our defense sealift needs," said U.S. Rep. Walter Jones. "As a memberof the Merchant Marine, he did not have to place himself in the middle of the conflict. However, no one will deny the sacrifice that Capt. Hunt and others like him are making every day." HONORARY ADMIRALS Admiral of the Ocean Sea statuettes were presented to Thomas Crowley, chairman of Crowley Maritime Corp., and to U.S. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. The statuettes of Christopher Columbus, the first Admiral of the Ocean Sea, are traditionally given to persons or organizations which have advanced the role of the U.S. flag in ocean shipping. The Mariner’s Plaques Award read as follows: To the Officers and Crew of USSN MOHA WK Dec. 17, 1987 700 Miles East of Florida Following a collision between the ships QAROUHand EXPLORER, the MSC seagoing tug MOHAWKstood watch for two clays in a true display of the brotherhood of the sea, while the crew of the QAROUH tried unsuccessfully to stabilize the ship.

HISTORY: PARTI (Continued from Page I3) he site for the Port of Houston’s Turning Basin, one of five publicly owned terminals operated by the Port of Houston Authority. he Allen brothers were the first of Houston’s leaders to envision the city as a center of trade. They were followed by a number of other business and civic leaders who saw the town’s potential and worked diligently to develop it. All of them understood the importance of the port to the city’s economic growth. Today, the Port of Houston generates nearly $3 billion a year in revenues. An estimated 111,000 people work for organizations that are in some way related to Port of Houston activity. As its early supporters expected, the port has become a vital force in the Houston economy. [] T ...... J @ I~XT MORTH: Cotton’s port’s development. Keep your ships at sea!
