Two officials who agreed to dis cuss the administration plans said the studies would be modeled after the Treasury Department’s analysis of the income tax system, which Rea gan called for in his 1984 State of the Union address and which led to his proposal to overhaul the tax system. These White House officials, speaking on condition they not be identified, said Reagan’s fifth report The speech is described by aides sp as an effort to “redefine the role of government” for the rest of the cen tury.

Rather than calling for national sacrifice to meet the stringent spend ing cuts required by the Gramm- Rudman budget-balancing law, the sources said, Reagan will explain the necessary budget cuts in terms of public versus private priorities. They said he would contend it is a choice between the federal budget and the family budget and that he would prefer people be permitted to make their own decisions about how! much they spend on housing,edua- tion and other items rather than lei ting the government make such de cisions through spending on federal 1 programs.

Haitian president attempts to prove stability is restored Associated Press PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — President-for-Life Jean-Claude Du- valier sent soldiers to two northern trouble spots Monday and rode around in a bulletproof car in an ef fort to show that he is in control af ter a week of riots. Doctors and other sources said more than 50 people may have been killed in the violence. Duvalier also met with U.S. Am bassador Clayton McManaway Jr. The United States is the main source of aid to his impoverished Caribbean nation, and the amount of aid could be affected by Duvalier’s human rights record. The army convoy was seen mov ing through Port-au-Prince to the highway to Cap Haitien and Go- naives where some of the most vio lent riots occurred last week. Sporadic protests began Nov. 27 after security forces shot and killed three students demonstrating in Go- naives. The protests intensified a week ago in Gonaives and Cap Hai tien, and they spread to Port-au- Prince for the first time Thursday night and Friday. Rioting began in the capital in re sponse to rumors that Duvalier, 34, had been deposed and fled the country. It spread when the White House reported the rumors as fact Friday, in a statement later with drawn. Hospital officials refused to give casualty figures Monday. At least 1 1 people were known killed last week in Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien. A doctor at General Hospital in the capital, who spoke on condition of anonymity, estimated more than 40 killings in Port-au-Prince since ri oting began Thursday night. Chris Fitzgerald of the U.S. Infor mation Agency said Duvalier’s meet ing with the ambassador was held Sunday, but he would not give de tails or say where it took place. Pope blesses dying, dead at home for lost Associated Press CALCUTTA, India — Popt John Paul 11 made the sign of the cross on the foreheads of the des titute, the dying and the dead Monday at Mother Teresa’s Im maculate Heart home for the lost He spoonfed potato curry to the hungry, cradled the headofa sobbing oeggar woman, sprinkled holy water on the dead and bowed before their four caskets. Vatican spokesman Joaquim Navarro said he had “never seen the pontiff so moved" by the depths of human suffering, in all the pope’s travels, as during that half-hour visit. The pope embraced Mother Teresa, the frail, 75-year-old “saint of the gutters" who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work in Calcutta’s slums. He called her clean, well-lit E lace the “antechamber to eaven” for about 85 imp- erished street dwellers. He and Mother Teresa em braced and clasped hands. Future of U.S. bases in Philippines uncertain Associated Press MANILA, Philippines — Presi dential candidate Corazon Aquino said Monday she would consult other countries in the region and “above all” the Filipinos before sign ing any new treaty on the future of U.S. military bases here. Aquino, who is challenging Presi dent Ferdinand E. Marcos in this Friday’s special election, also said election fraud could make it difficult for her to win. “The road to Malacanang (the presidential palace) grows darker as election day approaches,” she told nearly 3,000 Filipino and foreign businessmen at a luncheon in a sub urban hotel. “Sinister plans to cheat the people of their liberation are afoot.” Earlier Aquino told The Asso- - dated Press she would need about two-thirds of the vote to overcome “massive cheating” from Marcos. The present treaty allowing the United States to operate at Clark Air Base and Subic Navy Base north of Manila expires in 1991. Before 1991, she said, “A process of consultation will be undertaken — with the United States, with neigh boring states but, above all, with the Filipino people — so that an ar rangement that will serve the best in terest of the entire free world, but especially the Filipino people, can be reached.” Marcos’ advisers called for the treaty’s cancellation last summer af ter Congress reduced military aid to the Philippines. Meanwhile, Aquino confirmed she and Marcos will make their only joint appearance of the campaign on this Wednesday’s ABC television program “Nightline.” The two candidates will be inter viewed by satellite from separate lo cations for the live broadcast. Aquino has avoided stating cat egorically that she would retain the U.S. bases beyond 1991, while Mar cos has pledged to keep them but says he wants U.S. obligations made clearer. Marcos’ media information offi cer, Vicente Tuazon, said there was no plan to broadcast the program in the Philippines. Aquino told the AP she and Mar cos have never met, adding, “I don'i think he knew I existed” before her husband, opposition leader Benigno Aquino, was assassinated in 1983. ***★*★★★★★★ AGGIE G.O.P.
