Satly (Ear Htel Clinton Signs Initiative to Revamp Washington’s Financial System THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C.—The nation’s capital, known for high crime and crum bling schools alongside its monuments, lost a measure of control over its own affairs Monday. Hoping to avert an embarrassing bank ruptcy for the District of Columbia, Presi dent Clinton signed a bill to set up an oversight board with broad powers over Mayor Marion Barry and the city council. The law also allows the district to bor row hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal Treasury to help pay its bills. It requires a balanced city budget in three years. With Barry looking on, Clinton said the seat of the U.S. government should be transformed into “a city that works.” But leaders of both political parties called the assignment a daunting one. The GOP-sponsored bill sets up a five member board with powers that include the authority to lay off thousands of city workers. The city of6oo,oooresidents faces NUCLEAR FROM PAGE 1 Union of Concerned Scientists. The treaty also stipulated that the five nuclear powers were not to help other countries develop nuclear programs and were to pursue disarmament among them selves and to give full support to countries with peaceful nuclear programs, Weeks said. “We believe, yes, it has worked,” she said. “It created the legal norm against developing weapons. The countries that have actually built weapons after the treaty was signed were outside the treaty.” One of the main concerns of the talks is the emergence of nuclear programs in the “rogue republics” of Iran, Iraq and North Korea, Weeks said. “The countries that haven’t signed the treaty don’t get to vote at this thing,” she said. “Iran is a member; Iraq is a member; North Korea is kind of a special case. North Korea never did their safeguards agreement.” The “rogue republics” are a special case for the treaty because they are pursuing nuclear weapons programs despite signing the treaty, said John Cunningham, press secretary for High Frontier, an authority on missile defense. “They want the bomb and are working for (it),” Cunningham said. After the Persian Gulf War, Iraq had to abandon all its mass destruction weapons programs, Weeks said. U.N. committee inspectors discovered evidence of the nation’s nuclear programs. ISPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING I mmm hh jhf jbh ■ fly 9k " m jm FREE MOVIE POSTERS & SOUNDTRACKS Wednesday, April 19 Carolina Union Info Desk 6:30 PM & 9:00 PM With UNC ,D ' Limi,ed Sea,in9 Union Auditorium a $722 million annual deficit and has seemed headed for bankruptcy. City officials complain that the former federal enclave which has had “home rule” powers such as an elected mayor and council since 1974—cannot tap the sources of income usually available to municipali ties. For instance, the federal government pays no property taxes and Congress has blocked city efforts to tax commuters. Barry, who was re-elected to the mayor’s office last November after six months in prison for possession of drugs, had a front row seat at the Roosevelt Room signing ceremony. Outside, Barry said he generally sup ported the measure which allows the new board to overrule his budget proposals even though there were some restric tions he didn’t like.” Barry said he viewed the new legislation as “keeping intart the office of mayor” while adding anew layer ofbudget respon sibility. “I’m going to work with it,” Barry said. Weeks said Iraq had been three to five years away from being able to produce a basic nuclear weapon before the Persian Gulf War interrupted its weapons develop ment. “Iraq’s is mainly from intelligence we had before the Persian Gulf War,” she said. “They found way more stuff than anyone had realized.” IAEA inspectors found that North Ko rean reactors were producing weapons grade plutonium from spent nuclear-plant fuel rods. “They had a couple of nuclear power reactors that were based on a very old design,” Weeks said. South Korea is leading an international consortium to provide North Korea with a different type of nuclear plant in exchange for concessions on the North’s nuclear weapons program. “They were not that great for producing a lot of electric power, but they are good for producing a lot of weapons," Weeks said. North Korea refused to accept a coal powered or gas-fired electric plant or a more proliferation-proof South Korean nuclear plant, she said. North Korea’s refusal to accept the South Korean plan is a political statement de signed to challenge South Korean legiti macy, Cunningham said. The North Korean reactor is dangerous because it is based on an obsolete design and because it encourages nuclear prolif eration, he said. “It’s a political gambit on their part not to accept a South Korean reactor,” Cunningham said. “(North Korea’s reac- STATE & NATIONAL Clinton said he would art quickly to appoint the five board members. He also tapped former Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, who worked on the New York City bailout under then- President Carter, to be an adviser on the issue. Altman resigned from the Clinton administration amid criticism ofTreasury’s handling of the Whitewater affair. Clinton, a resident in the district both as president and years ago as an undergradu ate at Georgetown University, said the people of Washington “deserve to live in a city that works, that functions and that also can symbolize the very best in America.” “The health of the city and the security of its citizens have been threatened by the financial crisis,” Clinton said. “I applaud all those who have come together, to work together, to begin the road back.” Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington’s nonvoting delegate to Con gress, said the city had more than met the GOP-led Congress halfway in agreeing to the moves the new plan will require. tor is) sort of like those used in Chernobyl, and we all know how well that worked.” In addition to the “rogue republics,” other current nuclear powers might play a pivotal role in passing the treaty, Cunningham said. “Egypt may very well end up signing the treaty,” he said. “Israel’s not going to sign the ban. China has promised that it’s going to sign.” Cunningham also said that France, which never signed the treaty 25 years ago, and the new republics created by the disso lution of the Soviet Union would play a critical role in the talks. Despite U.S. involvementwiththeNon- Proliferation Treaty, the nation’s interna tional nuclear policy has been somewhat hypocritical, Cunningham said. “We’ve turned a blind eye on Israel getting the bomb,” he said. “When India starts getting the bomb, when Pakistan starts getting the bomb, we threaten sanc tions.” Cunningham said he agreed that the treaty had been somewhat successful in limiting the spread of nuclear weapon tech nology but noted that a treaty could not be successful without strict enforcement. He said his organization favored install ing an anti-ballistic missile defense system to back up the treaty in case of unforeseen missile attacks. “We’re in favor of having the treaty extended,” Cunningham said. “Depend ing on the type of system you use, you could probably stop all of them. It’s kind of like selling insurance. Nobody wants it until they need it.” Legislature Continues Work on ‘Contract’ Many Controversial Issues Are Not Addressed in the 8-Part Legislation Package THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH Polls during last fall’s election season, and afterward, showed that the contract legislative Republicans signed before the election had virtually no impart on voters. The vast majority had never heard of it, and those that had heard of the contract knew almost nothing about what was in it. But they voted Republican anyway, sweep ing the GOP into control of the House and near-parity in the Senate. And what may have been a weak politi cal document has turned into a potent governing document, especially in the House. In eight, brief sentences die contract promised to introduce bills to cut income taxes, give the governor veto power, set term limits, establish an initiative-and-ref erendum system and reform state spend ing, the justice system, the welfare system and public education. It didn’t promise that those issues would be approved only that they would be introduced as bills. And the individual items themselves were so loosely worded that practically any bill mentioning the topic would qualify as fulfilling the contract. Controversial items that some GOP candidates wanted—cutting 10,000 wor kers from the state payroll, anti-abortion legislation—ended up in the wastebasket. House speaker Harold Brubaker, a major architect of the contract, wanted to be sure that it hit on mainstream issues that would attract the most voters with the least con SYMPOSIUM FROM PAGE 3 tute and professors from UNC and the California Institute of Technology.

I troveny. But the contract has become a potent governing document not for what it prom ises, but as a shield against legislation that GOP leaders want to hold in check. Want to repeal the sales tax on food? It’s not in the contract Want to reform the state's health care system? It’s not in the contract. Campaign finance reform? It’s not a contract issue. And while the contract as helped short circuit debates on issues pushed by Demo crats, its main use has been to keep inde pendent diverse Republicans from charg ing off after their own rabbits. “Ifwe didn’thave it we’dbe all overthe board,” one Republican leadersaid, speak ing of GOP legislators. “There'd be no way to control it.” "We’d be lost without it” another Re publican said “When people start flying off in all directions in caucus, it’s the contract that holds everybodytogether. It’s the one thing everybody has signed onto. “Nobody really expected this to happen (that Republicans would take control of the House), but now that it has, the con tract has become a life raft for Republi cans.” Brubaker began preaching contract soli darity almost as soon as the election ended. Orer and over, asked where he intended to lead the House, he would point to the contract. While sending a message to voters that Republicans intended to make good on what they promised, it also sent a strong message to members of his own party. And although the most controversial items didn’t make it into the contract, there are clear indications that state Republicans will continue to pursue them after the con cancer cell biology program, and other professors and researchers. A dinner and social hour will begin at 6 p.m. It will be held at the Kenan Center and will feature a second talkby Krebs and music by Della Street. Friday’s session begins at 8:30 a.m. and will be chaired by Dr. H. Shelton Earp, deputy director of the Lineberger Center. It will feature speakers from the University of California and Joan Massague,Memorial Sloan-Kettering Can national law.

Hall and Qerid will rep resent the United States and will compete Tuesday, April 18,1995 tract is completed. Brubaker has appointed a special com mittee on tort reform, which is likely to press the longstanding Republican wish to limit punitive damage awards against com panies. A similar measure has been put forth by U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., which would significantly cut back on damage awards to prevent multi-mil lion dollar settlements. GOP abortion opponents are pushing for legislation which would restrict a woman’s right to an abortion more than by current standards. Legislation that would let more people carry concealed weapons is making its way through the House with support from the National Rifle Association and its allies. Bills that would allow development in watersheds and ease environmental regu lations for business and developers are heading for a House committee headed by former mortgage banker John Nichols, R- Craven. And lots of Republican-backed mea sures would chip away at foe power Demo crats have left like putting the Secretary of State's Office and the Labor Depart ment under the Department ofCommerce. Both offices are now in the Council of State, a Democratic bastion fbrthe last 100 years. Another bill would let counties estab lish county police departments if approved by voters—which is a way to let Republi can-controlled boards of county commis sioners buck Democratic sheriffs in some counties. Another would make all Superior Court judges run for office in their judicial dis tricts instead of statewide the position that Republicans, so for, have won in a federal lawsuit. cer Center member and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.
