NATION IN BRIEF : TEXAS : Port Reopens as Oil Cleanup Continues
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
After days of flood and fire, traffic moved through the Houston Ship Channel and crews said they were ahead of schedule in their efforts to clean up 200,000 gallons of spilled fuel and oil. The channel was closed last week because of flooding caused by torrential rains. It has been reopened since waters began receding and a sunken tugboat was removed from near the mouth of the San Jacinto River.
