on border crisis solutior;
WASHINGTON (AP) — The sponsor of legislation
to establish a U.S.-Mexico border commission testified
before a House committee Wednesday that existing
programs have failed to solve the crisis of poverty and
deplorable living conditions in a region characterized as
the Appalachia of the Southwest.

“I’m certainly not claiming all the answers are here,
hut it is still a legitimate response for the federal gov
ernment to get involved,” Rep. Ron Coleman said after
Rep. Kika de la Garza questioned the success of the pro
posed Southwest Border Regional Commission.
De \a Garza said Mexico's cooperation would;- . a<u

Existing federal programs can and dopuir su<

House Banking Committee’s subcommittee on w
anti community development.
Coleman’s proposed commission would include state
and federal officials representing Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and California, who would review and approve
applications to fund housing, health, water resources,
vocational and technical education, and sewage treat
ment.
Coleman argues a such a concerted approach is nec
essary to address a legacy of long-term neglect in the
most economically depressed region of the country.
But de la Garza said the border’s complex problems
will persist as long as the United States is a magnet to
Mexico’s poor in search of a better life, and until the
states fail to get tough on the developers of unincorpo
rated communities called colonias, which have no
roads, running water or sewerage connections.
“Until the states provide the infrastructure for con
trolling the situation . . .we could dump all the money
in the world and the situation would not be corrected,”
said de la Garza, who like Coleman represents a border
district dotted with colonias.

I The (
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. public health system, largely a
victim of its own success, has eroded
to a point where Americans are at
unnecessary risk, a National Aca
demy of Sciences panel said
Wednesday.
Members of a committee formed
by the academy’s Institute of Medi
cine declined at a news conference to
put the blame on any particular ad
ministration or segment of the
health community.
“I think this is something that has
evolved over time,” said Bailus
Walker Jr., professor of environ
mental health and toxicology at State
University of New York in Albany
and president of the American Pub
lic Health Association.
Nonetheless, they said the system
probably is less equipped to cope
with health emergencies than it was
20 or 30 years ago and that the first
task is to get the public to accept that
there is a problem.
“Our guard is now down,” said
Richard D. Remington, chairman of
the committee and professor of pre
ventive medicine and environmental
health at the University of Iowa.
“The American people must under
stand that everyone’s health will suf
fer in the long run if we do not take
care now to rebuild the capability of
and confidence in our public health
agencies.”
The report itself said, “We have
slackened our public health vigilance
nationally and the health of the pub
lic is unnecessarily threatened as a
result. Public health is a vital func
tion that is in trouble.”

SIXMILECROSS, Northern Ire
land (AP) — The elderly manager of
a hardware store in this farming vil
lage remembered Brian Mullin as a
friendly lad, a bricklayer who often
dropped by for supplies.
“Hejust got caught up in the trou
bles because he knew nothing else,”
the manager said. “He’s only one of
hundreds of young men in the area
who have been harassed every day
by the security forces.”
Mullin, 25, and two other local Ir
ish Republican Army men died in a
British army ambush Aug. 30 as they
drove along a country road near
Drumnakilly, 5 miles north of here.
Their funerals over the weekend
drew mourners from all around the
area and hundreds of riot police.
The mourners, mostly Catholic, and
the police, mostly Protestant, faced
each other in stony silence.
Police said the three dead men
were armed and dressed in ski masks
when they died. The London news
papers called them terrorists, mur
derers and “IRA rats.”
But in the countryside of County
Tyrone, many residents knew these
part-time guerrillas or their families
and spoke of them in sympathetic
terms.
Their deaths helped exacerbate
the divisions between local Catholics
and the IRA’s most frequent targets
in rural districts — the police and
the Ulster Defense Regiment.
“There’s a majority of Protestants
with nothing wrong with them,” said
a 28-year-old decorator sitting on a
grassy bank outside Dunmoyle Cath
olic Church on Saturday waiting for
Muffin’s hearse to pass.
“It’s those that join the security
forces we can’t live with,” he said,
glancing at policemen searching
mourners at a crossroads at the start
of a two-mile trek to Muffin’s family
farm outside Sixmilecross.
Like the store manager, he spoke
on condition of anonymity, fearing
retaliation for criticizing the police.
“If you come up this road at 2 or 3
in the morning, and you’re stopped
by them, you’re sure to get a kicking
because of who you are,” he said.
“The police force would be welcome,
surely, if they were 50-50 (Catholic-
Protestant) and they were fair.”

Security forces in Burma shoot looter
RANGOON, Burma (AP) —
Mobs plundered government of
