       SAN DIEGO (AP)  State GOP Chairman Tom Pauken was explaining
     the rules for Texas' delegation to the Republican National
     Convention: No cellular phones on the floor; pagers also might
     be out.
       U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm still had a question.
       ``The senator wants to know if he can carry his sidearm,''
     Pauken said.
