MCLANE AND TV OFFICIAL LOOK TO PUT INCIDENT BEHIND THEM

          Astros Owner Drayton McLane and KTDM-Telemundo GM Marco
     Camacho signed an agreement Friday to "work together" and
     "put the issue" of whether McLane made disparaging remarks
     about Hispanics "behind them," according to Edward Hegstrom
     of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE.  In a joint statement, McLane
     "reiterated" that he never made the remarks: "At no time did
     I make any biased or derogatory remarks and none were
     intended regarding Hispanics or the Hispanic community." 
     Camacho: "It is now clear that Mr. McLane is not biased or
     insensitive toward the Hispanic community."  McLane and
     Camacho will also "redouble their efforts to reach out to
     the Hispanic community," and KTDM will agree to "promote
     those efforts," but neither side "apologized."  Hegstrom
     added that some Hispanic leaders "now say they believe it
     was Camacho who was in error" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 6/13).
