Congress favors
drug legislation
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House on Thursday passed elecdon
year and-drug legislation that would
severely punish recreational users
and murderers alike, but it could
face constitutional tests if enacted
into law.
The 375-30 vote is not the final
word on Congress’ latest effort to re
spond to Americans’ fears over drug
abuse. The Senate still must consider
its own anti-drug legislation, and a
conference will likely be needed to
reconcile competing versions.
Despite constitutional concerns,
even by sponsors, the tug of election-
year politics was so strong that
House members appeared willing to
enact the toughest possible bill and
let the courts decide the legal ques
tions later.
The bill received support from
207 Democrats and 168 Republi
cans, while all 30 votes against the
legislation came from Democrats,
virtually all of them liberals.
The legislation pursues many ave
nues of combatting illegal drugs,
and would authorize the addition of
more than $2 billion in spending to
the nation’s current $3.9 billion anti
drug effort. The amount could he a
factor if overall spending levels force
across-the-board, automatic budget
cuts.
This bill is distinguished from
past anti-drug legislation by its so-
called “user accountability” provi
sions —^measures that say even the
smallest amount of drug use or pos
session will not be tolerated.
Drug users would be subject to
$10,000 civil penalties per violation
for mere possession; would be ineli
gible for student loans and other
federal benefits; and would face loss
of their right to drive, if states en
force license suspension programs to
obtain more federal highway money.
For those who kill during a drug-
related crime, the legislation con
tains legal procedures designed to
permit use of the federal death pen
alty.
But the legislation does not ignore
education, treatment, and rehabilita
tion for drug abusers, authorizing
more money to the states for such
programs. Federal and local law en
forcement agencies would receive
more money.
Former policeman
killed drug agent
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former
Mexican policeman was found guilty
Thursday of the 1985 kidnap and
torture murder of a U.S. drug agent,
a slaying he once described to an un
dercover officer as “a mistake.”
Raul Lopez Alvarez, 28, was con--
victed of killing Drug Enforcement
Administration agent Enrique Cam-
arena and his pilot, Alfredo Zavala
Avelar.
Three men were charged in the
internationally sensitive case. Jurors
returned to court early Thursday to
deliver their first verdict after only
one day of deliberation. They then
returned to the jury room to discuss
charges against the other two de
fendants.
Rene Verdugo Urquidez, 36, an
admitted drug trafficker, also is
charged with Camarena’s murder,
and Jesus Felix Gutierrez, 38, is
charged with helping drug baron
Rafael Caro Quintero escape from
Mexico after masterminding Cama
rena’s murder.
All three defendants appeared
pale and shaken when the verdict
was announced.
Camarena was abducted Feb. 7,
1985, in Guadalajara when he left
the U.S. Consulate to meet his wife
for lunch. The bodies of Camarena
and his pilot were found weeks later
buried at a remote ranch. They had
been severely beaten and Camare
na’s skull was crushed.
During the eight-week trial, jurors
heard an audio tape of Camarena’s
interrogation by his abductors and
his pleas for them to stop beating
him.
“He paid the price in the most sav
age, barbaric, unbelievable manner,”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jimmy Gu-
rule said in his summation. “Beaten
and beaten and beaten until his life
slowly slipped away, drained from
his body.”
The case stirred bitter feelings be
tween Mexican and American offi
cials after Mexican police were
linked to the killing.
World briefs
FAA requires wind shear device usage
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Federal Aviation Administration
on Thursday ordered airlines to
equip all their aircraft with de
vices that will help pilots detect
and escape from deadly wind
shears.
Powerful shears called micro
bursts have been called the num
ber one killer of airline passen
gers and have been responsible
for at least five fatal airline
crashes and 500 deaths in the last
decade, according to aviation
safety experts.
The FAA regulation was an
nounced by the Transportation
Department, which said the de
vices, to be phased into operation
in all aircraft of 30 or more seats
over the next four years, will cost
$40,000 to $50,000 per airplane.
About 3,600 commercial jet
transport planes also will be re
quired to have the devices, de
partment officials said.
A microburst is a powerful
downburst of air caused by a sud
den change in wind direction.
Such a downburst struck a Delta
Air Lines L-1011 as it was at
tempting to land at Dallas-Fort
Worth in 1985 and literally
forced the plane into the ground,
killing 134 people.
The accident focused in
creased attention on developing
and installing sophisticated
ground radar that would provide
advanced warning of shears.
Soviet troops move to curtail rioting
MOSCOW (AP) — Tanks and
troops rolled into two southern
Soviet republics Thursday where
protesters in an ethnic dispute at
tacked a prosecutor’s office, ral
lied by the hundreds of thou
sands and staged strikes.
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Vadim Perfiliev told a news brief
ing in Moscow, “The situation is
not improving. It has become
even more threatening.”
Authorities imposed a 9 p.m.-
to-6 a.m. curfew in Stepanakert,
the main city of the Nagorno-Ka
rabakh region, center of the dis
pute between Armenians and
Azerbaijanis that’s been going on
since February. Violence in the
region this week killed one per
son and hurt 48.
Protesters, who want the area
to be taken from Azerbaijan and
made part of Armenia, attacked
the city’s prosecutor’s office in
Stepanakert Thursday.
“There are soldiers on every
street, at every crossroad, check
ing passports and personal cars,”
a man who answered the tele
phone at the state radio and tele
vision office, Gostelradio, in Ste
panakert, said.
Nagorno-Karabakh, in the
Caucasus Mountains, was vir
tually at a standstill and sealed off
because of ethnic tension.
Higher airfares blamed on deregulation
WASHINGTON (AP) —Mem
bers of a Senate committee on
Thursday faulted airline deregu
lation for raising airfares for
many Americans and leaving
some cities dominated by carriers
that control local air service.
But Transportation Secretary
Jim Burnley told the Senate Com
merce Committee that even
though “the airline industry has
its flaws,” nearly 10 years of de
regulation has benefited most
travelers.
“Overall the airline industry
has become much more compet
itive as to price and service as a
result of economic deregulation,”
Burnley told the legislators.
Burnley cited statistics showing
that since 1978, domestic air traf
fic has grown from 275 million
E assengers to more than 450 mil-
on, while average fares have de
clined 13 percent, adjusted for in
flation.
The secretary said that if most
Americans are asked if deregu
lation has been helpful, “You’ll
find an overwhelming perception
that the country has benefited
enormously.”
