NEW COMPANIES EXPANDING HOUSTON’S ECONOMIC BASEAn estimated 1,062 new firms
started operations in Houston duringthe second half of 1986, creating atleast 10,670 new jobs, according to arecent study sponsored by the Hous-ton Economic Development Council.
"Houston continues to be a hotspot for new business formation,"says Lee Hogan, HEDC president."The new companies reported in thissurvey represent Houston’s strongestpotential for growth and diversifi-cation."
The study was conducted on behalfof HEDC by the University of Hous-ton Center for Public Policy.
"Some 40 percent of the new firmsidentified by the study are in Hous-
ton’s economic base, that portion ofthe economy which produces goodsor services for export outside thisregion," says Dr. Barton Smith, chair-man of the University of HoustonEconomics Department.NET GAINS "Such growth in theeconomic base ultimately supportsgrowth throughout the economy,"Smith says. "Continuation of newstarts at this pace would lead to netgains exceeding 25,000 jobsannually."
The data also suggest a trendtoward diversification in theeconomic base, Smith says. "Finance,insurance real estate, retail trade, con-struction and services historically
have been largely secondary sectorindustries in Houston, representingonly 7 percent of base employment.Today, these same industries accountfor 27 percent of all jobs created bynew economic base firms."
The study involved a mail and tele-phone survey of firms reported byDunn & Bradstreet as having appliedfor new credit during the second halfof 1986. The study sought to identifynew firms by industry groups anddetermine the number and types ofnew jobs created by the firms.
Houston’s got it!No other port offers project cargo and heavy-lifthandling capacity like Houston’s Wharf No. 32.

DEPUTY LABOR SECRETARY SPEAKS AT HWTA EVENTIf the United States is to enter the
21st century as one of the world’smost productive nations, the countrymust work on internal hindrances tothe country’s competitiveness, theU.S. deputy labor secretary says.
"As we look over the horizon tothe year 2000, it seems to me that wereally have two radically differentways to approach that time," saidDennis Whitfield. The deputysecretary of labor was guest speakerat the Houston World Trade Associa-tion’s 60th anniversary banquet.
"We can reach deep into the reser-voir of American creativeness, in-genuity and capacity for hard workand deal with the problems withinour own borders and those whichresult from unfair practices abroad,"Whitfield said. "Or we can bury ourheads in the sand, blame our prob-lems on foreign competition, erectbarriers to imports and proceed on inour self-destructive course."
To start, Whitfield said, the U.S.government, domestic workers andcompanies must realize they are joint-ly responsible for keeping the coun-try competitive in the marketplace.
Dennis Whitfield, deputy U.S. secretary oflabor, was the featured speaker at the Hous-ton World Trade Association’s 60thanniversarI, banquet. Whitfield discussedwa~,s the United States can maintain itscompetitiz’eness into the 21st century.
Businesses must set high standards ofquality, discard outmoded manage-ment styles and adapt to change, hesaid. Workers must reach their poten-tial by increasing pride in their workand taking advantage of educational
and technological opportunities."I also believe that families must
create the educational environmentthat makes our children productivecitizens," Whitfield added. "Andgovernment must maintain policieswhich foster economic growth andstructural adjusting, rather than in-hibiting the two."
The Department of Labor hasstepped beyond its traditional role inan effort to ensure competitiveness,Whitfield said.
"In the training and educationfield, we primarily are responsible fortrying to put people back into theworkplace as quickly as we can," hesaid. "We’re dealing in some caseswith those who were not able tomake it in the system up to this point.We have developed an approachwhich we believe will make this proc-ess of remediation into the process ofprevention."
That approach, Whitfield said, in-cludes understanding there is a directlink between the U.S. educationalsystem, worker productivity andcompetitiveness. The United StatesContinued on Page 29.

YOU DON’T HAVETO KNOW ALLABOUT EXPORT SERVICES...
... BUT IT HELPS TO KNOWWHO DOES.
"This HAS to be inby the third of the month."Fill in the blank. It doesn’t matterwhether its Seattle or Singapore.Shipping ANYWHERE canbe a challenge. Especially ifshipping is only part of yourjob responsibilities. Coast-to-coast or country- to-countrywhen it has to be there it hasto be there.
"If this shipment is damagedwhen it gets there we won’t be ableto get another ready for at leasta month."You know that regardless of whatyour freight is, it has to get whereit is going in good condition. Itdoesn’t matter whether it’s as big as
a drilling rig or assmall as a box ofcomputer chips.If it can’t beused when it getsthere it’s no goodto anybody.
"I don’t care if they have to usea wheelbarrow. Get this partthere... NOW!"Above all it has to be there on time.Sometimes regardless of cost or themethod used to get it there. In fact,just knowing what transportationmethods are available can be achallenge in itself.
when he gets an assignment likeone of these? The answer for manyhas been a call to Lawrence ExportServices, Inc.
You know how time-consumirit can be learning all aspects of thedistribution business. Like packingcrating, transportation and ware-housing, not to mention document~tion and computer tracking. Andfinding dependable packers, truck-ing or export service companies ca~be confusing, too.
But why do YOU need to kno’everything about export services?Call a company that makes it itsbusiness to know everything aboutthe business.
Lawrence Export Services,Inc. has brought all these servicestogether under one corporate roof.
"I don’t want any surprises onthe invoice like extra ’fees’ and’special charges’."Cost MAY BE, and often IS, afactor. If so, you sure don’t wantsurprises when you get the invoice.After all, when you give specificweights and dimensions you deserve
a specific price.It doesn’t matterwhether the amountis a hundred dollarsover the quote.It’s more than youexpected to pay.
What’s a ship-per supposed to do
intrastate and interstate distribution services
The result is a company, with astrong financial base, that shipperscan turn to for answers to all ware-housing, packing, crating, transpo~tation and documentation services.
You don’t have to know allabout export services. Just knowwho knows.
NOW YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS.
