Nicaragua, rebels open negotiations
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican
Republic (AP) — Nicaragua’s leftist
government and U.S.-backed rebels
on Thursday opened their first ne
gotiations on ending a 6-year-old
war that has killed 40,000 people
and been a major concern in obtain
ing world peace.
Police provided unusually tight
security for the indirect negotia
tions, in which the Roman Catholic
archbishop of Managua, Cardinal
Miguel Obando y Bravo, is serving
as go-between.
Obando y Bravo met with the
Contra rebel delegation at Catholic
church offices in Santo Domingo.
Obando y Bravo said that he would
relay their proposals as best he could
to the Sandimsta delegation at the
Nicaraguan Embassy.
Church officials said they would
try to persuade the delegations to
meet face to face to try and further
negotiations in hopes of ending the
battle permanently, but Nicaraguan
Ambassador Daniel Valle Martinez
said that was out of the question.
On his arrival in Santo Domingo
Thursday afternoon, Obando y
Bravo said it would be hard to ar-.
range direct talks because of the
amount of hostility flowing between
the two negotiating countries.
House votes for cut of U.S. aid to Haiti
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House voted without dissent Thurs
day to cut off all U.S. aid to the gov
ernment of Haiti until a civilian elec
toral commission is reinstated and
the impoverished nation is put back
on the road toward free elections.
The House action, on a voice vote,
essentially ratified the earlier sus
pension of nearly $64 million in U.S.
aid by the Reagan administration
and added the legal requirement
that the Provisional Electoral Com
mission must be reinstated in order
for aid to be resumed.
The move means revoking badly
needed economic aid to Haiti, the
poorest country in the Western
Hemisphere.
However, the measure’s sponsor,
Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., said
it was the only way to express U.S.
outrage over the violence that
canceled Sunday’s elections.
“Anything we take away is going
to hurt people,” Oberstar said. “But
this is the only action we can take
that will mean something to the gov
ernment that ambushed democracy
on Sunday and to the forces for de
mocracy who are looking to the
United States to do something ... to
help put democracy back on track.
We can help re-establish the process
that was snuffed out.”
Oberstar’s legislation, attached to
a massive catch-all spending bill, also
contained non-binding language.
The bill calls on the State Depart
ment to suspend Haiti’s eligibility for
trade benefits under the Caribbean
Basin Initiative and to seek an inter
national arms embargo and other
economic sanctions.
Another $35 million in humanita
rian aid flowing through private re
lief organizations for public health,
nutrition and housing programs
would be unaffected by the change.
The money bill, with the aid cut
off attached, was sent to the Senate
for further action.
House approves massive spending bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House approved a massive $587 bil
lion spending bill Thursday that
would push Congress to meet its def
icit-reduction goals but also risk a
presidential veto because of a rash of
attached controversies.
“This is the first step that I believe
must be taken ... to move against
the deficit and begin a coordinated
effort by the two political parties,”
House Majority Leader Thomas S.
Foley, D-Wash, said.
But House Republican leader Bob
Michel, R-Ill., said beneath the rhe
toric was a package laden with spe
cial-interest spending, a bloated
monster created by Democrats act-
ing “as a legislative Dr.
Frankenstein.”
“This is government by appetite
and I’d respectfully suggest the
Democratic leadership put itself on a
legislative diet,” he said.
Despite opposition from most Re
publicans, the bill was approved 248-
170 and sent to the Senate. A GOP
attempt to send the package back to
committee was also beaten by Demo
crats on a 220-198 party-line vote.
U.S., Soviets work on mission to Mars
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
chairman of the House Science,
Space and Technology Committee
and the top Soviet space scientist
agreed Thursday to pursue a joint
U.S.-Soviet manned mission to Mars
aimed at making the superpowers
friends, not foes in space.
Rep. Robert Roe, D-NJ., who
heads the panel, said he believes a
common effort to explore Earth’s
neighbor could shift the interna
tional focus on space from Star Wars
to a mutual star trek. After meeting
with Raold Sagdeyev, who heads the
Soviet Space Research Institute, the
New Jersey lawmaker called the goal
“definitely possible.”
“The rewards and benefits to
mankind in space are 10,000 times
better than the destruction of man
kind in space,” Roe said.
Sagdeyev agreed, saying the ex
ploration of Mars, some 49 million
miles away, is “probably . . . the most
challenging project of this century.”
Neither Roe nor the Soviet scien
tist predicted a timetable for a Mar
tian mission, said by most experts to
be at least decades away.
But neither man flinched at the
possiblity of putting a man or
woman on Mars. “There’s no ques
tion about it,” Roe said.
House rejects pollution act extension
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House overwhelmingly rejected on
Thursday an industry-backed drive
to take the tough, controversial is
sues of air pollution and acid-rain
control off the congressional agenda
until at least 1989.
In what members called the envi
ronmental vote of 1987, majorities
in both political parties combined
for a 257-162 defeat of an amend
ment that would have extended the
Clean Air Act’s compliance dead
lines until Aug. 1, 1989.
Instead, by voice vote the cham
ber approved an extension of the
law’s Dec. 31, 1987, deadline for
curbing ozone and carbon monoxide
pollution until next Aug. 31, giving
Congress eight months to work on
revising the law.
The eight-month extension would
prevent the Environmental Protec
tion Agency from imposing sanc
tions during this period against any
of the 60 or more metropolitan areas
and cities that EPA says will miss the
Dec. 31 compliance deadline.
The Clean Air Act allows EPA to
penalize areas that fail to attain the
law’s health standards on pollutants.
Sanctions include cutoff of federal
aid for highways and sewers and a
ban on construction of facilities that
would add to air pollution.
EPA Administrator Lee Thomas
has said he is considering construc
tion bans against 12 to 14 cities that
EPA says have made little or no ef
fort to comply with clean air require
ments set by Congress in 1977.

tory affairs of the Office of Manage
ment and Budget since 1985.
