! From Associated Press reports
: WASHINGTON President
elect George Bush on Thursday
named New Hampshire Gov. John
' Sununu as White House chief of staff
and tapped wily campaign strategist
Lee Atwater as chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
Bush's selection of Sununu as his
top White House adviser prompted
the resignation, effective in January,
of long-time aide Craig Fuller, who
said he had told Bush he was "eager"
for the job.
Bush said he would like Fuller, co
chairman of the transition team and
his chief of staff since 1985, to
consider a role in his administration
but that he chose Sununu because he
was the "right man for the job."
"John Sununu has the background
and experience necessary to work not
only with his former colleagues in the
nation's statehouses but also to build
a -Constructive relationship with the
U;S. Congress," he said.

RALEIGH Gov. Jim Martin
said Thursday his re-election and the
election of Republican Jim Gardner
as' -lieutenant governor gives him a
' "golden opportunity" to push a set
of legislative goals, including veto
power for the governor.
"I see it not just as a window of
opportunity," Martin said. "I see it
as a door.
"The timing is right from every
respect you look at it ... to share
ideas and not try to rub each other's
nose in it," the Republican governor
said at a news conference.
"Already, I have seen a willingness
jon the part of the legislative leader
ship to work on problems that might
divide us, and I hope that will
continue for a long time," said
- Martin, who said he met Wednesday
for about 40 minutes with House
Speaker Liston Ramsey, D-Madison.
Martin said his legislative agenda
includes expansion of the career
ladder for teachers statewide,
increased highway construction,
consolidation of environmental reg

selection process for judges, and
building a bipartisan working rela

outsider to be named by Bush, will
bring "a refreshing new perspective"
to the job, the president-elect said.
Atwater will succeed Frank Fah
renkopf Jr., who announced months
ago that he would relinquish the GOP
chairmanship at the end of President
Reagan's term and return to Nevada
to practice law.
Bush said Atwater's function will
be "winning elections." While Repub
licans have won the presidency in five
of the last six elections, they have
been less successful at the congres
sional level, where Democrats hold
comfortable majorities.
"I'm a nuts-and-bolts politician,"
Atwater said. "I will be extremely
campaign-oriented."
The Republican National Cornmit
tee will formally act on Bush's choice
in January.
Bush made the announcements
after meeting over breakfast with
British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and his customary weekly
posh for governor veto power
tionship with the legislature, as well
as veto power.
"What weVe heard from the legis
lative leadership is if weVe willing to
put everything on the table, they're
willing to talk about it (veto power),"
Martin said. "I dont know what the
process will be, but I have found a
willingness to discuss it.
Martin said he was not willing to
make the same concession offered by
his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov.
Bob Jordan, who said during the
campaign he might be willing to trade
the right of gubernatorial succession
for veto power. North Carolina is
now the only state that does not give
its governor the veto.
"My response then and now is that
I don't see the need to make con
cessions before we even sit down at
the table," Martin said. "I think the
public would support both veto
power and a second consecutive term
for the governor. It is an opportune
time for us to have that discussion.
Let's just put our proposals forward
and see what we have. .
"My view on veto is that the
governor should not decide how to
balance between the legislative and
executive branches and the legislature

schedule Thursday was an evening

Both Sununu and Atwater share
reputations as adept players of
political hardball.
Atwater is considered a master of
negative campaigning, and was an
architect of the strategy that helped
Bush wipe out a 17-point poll lead
by Democrat Michael Dukakis and
romp to a 40-state victory in the
presidential race.
Sununu, 49, an engineer by train
ing and a former Tufts University
professor, has no previous experience
in Washington. He has a reputation
for being a quick study, highly
intelligent and assertive. Some also
regard him as as arrogant and
abrasive, traits that could hurt him
in working with Congress.
Sununu made light of that repu
tation Thursday.
"I'm a pussycat," Sununu said. "Let

Jewish lobbyists have criticized the
New Hampshire governor for being
the only governor to refuse to endorse
a proclamation attacking a 1975 U.N.
resolution that equated zionism with
racism.
"I'm very sensitive to that issue,"
said Sununu, who is partly of Arab
descent.
"The problem I had as a governor
is that I felt it was inappropriate. In
terms of the issue, I have no problem
saying it should be repudiated."

From Associated Press reports
SIDON, Lebanon A Swiss
representative of the International

day in Sidon, and police said his
captors might intend to swap him

The PLO blamed the abduction
on enemies trying to discredit its

responsibility.

Prisoners returning to Cuba
WASHINGTON Justice
Department panels set up in the
wake of last year's prison riots by
Mariel boatlift detainees have
reviewed their first 28 cases and
plan to send at least 15 of the
prisoners back to their native
Cuba "in the near future," officials
said Thursday.
,The announcement aroused the
anger of many in the Cuban
community in Miami, and attor
neys representing the prisoners
flew to Alabama seeking to halt
the repatriation process.
The 15 Cuban detainees are
being held in a strict "lockdown"
in a penitentiary in Talladega, Ala.
No detainee will be scheduled for
return to Cuba earlier than 72
hours after the government offi
cially notifies each of the 15
detainees, the Justice Department
said.

The future of the U.S. 15-501
corridor has been of interest to
leaders from Chapel Hill, Carrboro
and Orange County who have
expressed concern that additional
development along U.S. 15-501 in
Chatham County could lead to
dramatically increased traffic pres
sures in Orange County and Chapel
Hill.

The case is being treated somewhat
more seriously than an average
vandalism case because of McKin
ley's status as a public figure and
because it involved a threat to his life,
Dunn said.
McKinley said the graffiti was not
nearly as serious as the threats against
Segal and Duehring, but all of the
incidents have similar motives.
"It's a concerted effort at intimi
dation," he said. "They're trying to
create a climate where activism is
discouraged."
