Reagan

to deliver state
speech tonight
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan prepared Monday to give a
State of the Union address seeking
to overhaul welfare, to protect peo
ple against catastrophic health costs
and to improve the international
monetary system.
The major radio and television
networks plan to carry the half-hour
speech live Tuesday night beginning
at 9 p.m. CDT.
The address was delayed a week
because of the explosion of the shut

the costs of catastrophic illness.
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.
Reagan is expected to call for
year-long studies leading to formal
f iroposals to revise federal programs

for the American family.
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.
Reagan plans to take a ‘‘pro-fam- j
ily” approach to overhauling welfare j
and support programs, proposingtoi

He also plans to pressure more
poor people to work rather thande j

And he is expected to argue that

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.

CALCUTTA, India — Popt

the pope’s travels, as during that
half-hour visit.
The pope embraced Mother

“saint of the gutters" who won the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her
work in Calcutta’s slums.

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.
