U.S. Senate discussing renewal
of ‘Superfund’ for toxic cleanup
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With eight
days remaining before America’s
toxic waste cleanup program ex
pires, the Senate resumes debate to
day on its “Superfund” renewal bill
as House members scurry to get
their bill ready for the floor.
The Senate, in sporadic floor
work last week, has settled only one
major question: the size of a new
five-year program to replace the
first five-year effort that expires at
midnight Sept. 30.
Still to be confronted by the Sen
ate in a work week shortened by the
.Yom Kippur holiday are how to pay
for a greatly expanded Superfund
and how to apportion cleanup cost
liability among people responsible
for creating toxic dumps.
Other issues before Congress this
week are a farm bill that will set
long-term agricultural policy and an
anti-abortion amendment which is
part of a District of Columbia spend
ing bill.
In addition, the Senate fight over
Superfund could be interrupted by
controversy over trade legislation
designed to protect the domestic tex
tile and shoe industries.
Neither side of Congress is wor
ried about the clock running out on
Superfund. Leaders concede they
wilt miss the deadline, which will re
sult in a drying up of revenues flow
ing into Superfund, principally from
a tax on petroleum and basic petro
chemicals.
Anticipating the law’s expiration,
the Environmental Protection
Agency last month ordered a halt to
work at 57 dump sites. Lawmakers
say that while they can recover the
lost money, they can’t regain the
time lost by the temporary halt in
cleanup activity.
The Senate on Friday easily beat
back an effort to set Superfund
spending through 1990 at $5.7 bil
lion. This all but guaranteed that the
$7.5 billion in the Senate bill will be
the least that Congress will approve.
On the House side, staunch envi
ronmentalists have renewed their ef
forts to strengthen the $10 billion
Superfund reauthorization measure
hammered out by the Energy and
Commerce Committee in July.
Their attention now is focused on
the Public Works and Transporta
tion Committee and its water re
sources subcommittee, which are
tentatively scheduled to consider the
House bill late this week.
The toughest question is how to
pay for a huge increase in a cleanup
program created in 1980 with a five-
year budget of $ 1.6 billion.
The Senate bill would create a
new value-added tax on large man
ufacturers to pay for more than two-
thirds of its $7.5 billion program.
The tax-writing House Ways and
Means Committee has yet to tackle
the financing question.
The value-added levy, a form of
national sales tax in use in Europe, is
being opposed by manufacturer’s
groups and, more importantly, the
White House. But despite criticism
of this approach, no one has for
mally proposed another way of fi
nancing the program.
Shultz preparing for summit
U.N. celebrating 40th anniversary
Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — U.S. Sec
retary of State George P. Shultz and
his Soviet counterpart will meet here
this week to prepare for the Novem
ber superpower summit. They also
join a parade of world leaders ad
dressing the U.N. General Assembly
in commemoration of its 40th anni
versary.
The New York Police Department
and United Nations have stepped up
security in response to the expected
record attendance of more than 100
presidents, foreign ministers and
other government leaders, drawn by
the month-long anniversary com
memoration.
The assembly's so-called general
debate, an annual event, opens to
day with Brazilian President Jose
Sarney as the first speaker. He is ex
pected to emphasize the economic
crisis faced by developing countries
like Brazil, which has a foreign debt
of more than $100 billion.
Shultz will follow Sarney to the
rostrum and plans to attend Tues
day morning when Soviet Foreign
Minister Eduard Shevardnadze ad
dresses the 159-member assembly.
Upon arrival in New York last
week, Shevardnadze said the Krem
lin’s prime concern was finding ways
of “curbing and stopping the arms
race, particularly the nuclear arms
race, and preventing the militariza
tion of outer space.”
Shevardnadze already has sent
the assembly a draft resolution that
urges “preventing an arms race in
outer space,” an apparent reference
to President Reagan’s Star Wars re
search project for developing a
space-based missile defense system.
Unconfirmed news reports have
said Shevardnadze carries with him
new proposals to break the deadlock
in U.S.-Soviet arms reduction talks,
which resumed Thursday in Ge
neva.
According to one report, the Sovi
ets will offer to reduce certain mis
siles by 40 percent, allow some on
site inspection to verify the cuts and
allow U.S. scientists to conduct labo
ratory work but not field tests on
anti-missile systems.
Shultz and Shevardnadze, who
met for the first time last July in Hel
sinki, Finland, will hold bilateral
talks Wednesday in New York and
resume their discussions Friday in
Washington.
Shevardnadze also is to confer
with Reagan at the White House Fri
day in preparation for the presi
dent’s Nov. 19-20 summit meeting
with Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorba
chev.
In between their talks in New
York and Washington, Shultz and
Shevardnadze will participate in a
special ministerial meeting of the 15-
£
nation U.N. Security Council to dis
cuss ways of strengthening the
>eacekeeping body. British Foreign
ecretary Sir Geoffrey Howe is to
preside over the Sept. 26 council
meeting.
The assembly’s 40th session
opened last Tuesday with the elec
tion of veteran Spanish diplomat
Jaime de Pinies as its president. Rea
gan and some other world leaders
are holding off their appearances
here until next month, when the
40th anniversary is formally ob
served. Reagan is expected to speak
Oct. 24, the date on which the U.N.
Charter took effect in 1945.
Speakers during the first week of
general debate are expected to in
clude the presidents of Peru, Uru
guay, Mozambique, Panama and
Tanzania. King Hussein of Jordan
and Polish leader Gen. Wojciech
Jaruzelski are scheduled to speak
Friday.
New Orleans
‘Mr. Coffee’
closes doors
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A fair
share of the coffee enjoyed by
America got its start at Kent Sat-
terlee’s “cupping table,” but his
business is about to be relegated
to the history of this city where
the aroma of coffee and booze
spice the air.
Along with French Quarter ca
rousing, coffee is a necessary sta
ple here. This port city which
once boasted up to 20 coffee im
porters.
Now, there are four, and
Bright & Co. Inc. is locking its
doors, with Satterlee deciding to
close rather than to sell.
“Mr. Bright gave me my start
when I was 14 years old, an office
boy making $16 a month,” said
the 82-year-old Satterlee, who
took over the business decades
ago with a partner.
Satterlee is Mr. Coffee here,
f >ast president of the Green Cof
ee Association and past presi
dent of the New Orleans Board
of Trade.
In 1916 when he started by
running errands, Satterlee knew
he would get ahead because he
drew a five-year plan to reach a
goal.
NBC dominates 37th Emmys
with 8 of the first 15 awards
Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — “Cagney 8c
Lacey,” CBS’s once-canceled po
licewoman show, and “The Cosby
Show,” the warm and loving series
about a black family that has sparked
NBC’s drive for top ratings, domi
nated the early awards at the 37th
annual Emmys Sunday.
“Cagney & Lacey,” which stayed
on the air only because of a massive
letter-writing campaign, won as best
dramatic series — upsetting NBC’s
much-nominated “Miami Vice” —
and took awards for best direction
and best writing.^.
Tyne Daly, as Mary Beth Lacey,
the detective who must juggle her
career with a family, won best dra
matic actress for the third straight
year.
“Every year I come expecting to
hear someone else’s name called,”
she said. “I think it must be the part
I get to play.”
But NBC, which has topped the
ratings for 16 of the past 17 weeks,
dominated the awards with eight of
the first 15. It led the nominations
with 125, more than double the to
tals for both CBS and ABC.
“The Cosby Show,” new last sea
son, won best comedy writing for Ed
Weinberg and Michael Leeson and
best direction for Jay Sandrich. Bill
Cosby,the star and driving force be
hind the show, rejected a nomi
nation, saying he didn’t believe in
competing against other perform
ers, and boycotted the ceremony at
the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
“So much of my work is shaped by
Bill Cosby’s wit and philosophy of
what a family could be,” Sandrich
said in accepting his honor at a fas
ter-paced, restructed awards show
televised live on ABC.
William Daniels, the finicky,
cranky heart surgeon Dr. Mark
Craig on NBC’s St. Elsewhere,” won
the award as best actor in a dramatic
series.
Betty Thomas, Sgt. Lucille Bates
on NBC’s “Hill Street Blues,” won
best supporting actress in a drama,
but was upstaged when a prankster
accepted the award for her, saying
she couldn’t be present — even
though the camera had plainly
showed her in the audience.
“Well, it is definitely hard to fol
low an act like that,” she joked, when
she finally took the podium after a
commercial.
“Miami Vice,” a pastel and neon
blend of cop show and music video,
won best supporting actor award for
Edward James Olmos as the stone
faced Lt. Martin Castillo.
“Yes, Lieutenant Castillo does
smile,” Olmos said.
The show, which had the most
nominations with 15, won three
technical Emmys announced earlier,
but lost the first two awards for
which it was eligible.
John Addison’s music for CBS’s
“Murder, She Wrote” beat Jan Ham
mer’s “Miami Vice” score and Karen
Arthur won the dramatic directing
Emmy for a “Cagney & Lacey” epi
sode, defeating two “Miami Vice”
nominees.
Robert Guillaume, the star of
ABC’s “Benson,” whose character
has progressed from manservant to
lieutenant governor, won the award
as best comedy actor.
“I know you can’t tell, but I just
lost my color,” the black performer
joked. “This certainly beats going
home empty-handed for a sixth
time, and I’d like to thank Bill Cosby
for not being here.”
The women comedy performers
were both repeats from last year:
Jane Curtin, as the more insecure of
two roommate divorcees on CBS’s
“Kate & Allie,” was best actress,
while Rhea Perlman won supporting
actress for her portrayal of the
tough barmaid Carla on NBC’s
“Cheers.”
NBC’s “Hill Street Blues,” which
won the most Emmys the past four
years, this year drew 11 nomi
nations.
