Mosbacher plans growth l a
of U.S. business exports
yToml
WASHINGTON (AP) — Com
merce Secretary-designate Robert
Mosbacher vowed Tuesday to vigor
ously enforce laws to protect U.S.
businesses from unfair foreign com
petition and said building exports
will be his top priority in reducing
the trade deficit.
“We have an opportunity to . . .
open up to a greater extent the rest
of the world for our goods and serv
ices and this we must push,” Mos
bacher said at his confirmation hear
ing before the Senate Commerce
Committee.
The 61-year-old Texas oilman
was well- received by members of
both political parties. His nomi
nation is expected to win easy appro
val when the panel votes next week.
Asked his strategy for addressing
the U.S. trade deficit, which hit an
all-time high of $170.1 billion in
1987 but has improved somewhat
since, Mosbacher said, “We must
build our exports first.”
He called for greater efforts to ed
ucate U.S. businesses about export
opportunities and for reduced red
tape in granting export licenses for
items whose sales would not harm
national security or strategic inter
ests.
SPORTS W
it
w e have an opportunity to ... open up to a greater
extent the rest of the world for our goods and services
and this we must push.”
— Robert Mosbacher
Commerce Secretary-designate
“Everything that is not in those
two categories should be given (a) li
cense ... as soon as possible,” he
said.
American exports have strength
ened as the weaker dollar has made
U.S. manufacturers’ products more
competitive overseas. But analysts
believe the dollar would have to de
cline further to spur more export
gains.
In stressing the need for in
creased exports, Mosbacher pledged
to vigorously enforce the sweeping
trade law enacted by Congress last
year to ensure American businesses
can fairly compete abroad and at
home.
“While we certainly do and have
opened our nation to the goods of
‘Endless’ funerals,
searches dominate
in quake aftermath
MOSCOW (AP) — Mountain vil
lagers in “endless” funeral proc
essions Tuesday buried their dead
from the Tadzhikistan earthquake
that killed up to 1,000, and rescuers
slogged through muddy rubble in a
desperate search for survivors.
New warnings were issued for
more possible landslides caused by
thawing snow in the Central Asian
republic 1,800 miles south of Mos
cow that was hit by Monday’s pre
dawn earthquake.
In northwestern Armenia, which
was devastated by a Dec. 7 quake that
killed 25,000 people, a powerful af
tershock was reported Tuesday. An
Armenian official said the popula
tion had been warned and no casual
ties were reported.
A 40-second tremor, which U.S.
seismologists registered as 5.4 on the
Richter scale, hit before dawn Mon
day. It loosened layers of mud that
cascaded onto mountain villages in a
rural area about 20 miles southwest
of the republic’s capital .of Du
shanbe.
Workers using shovels and bull
dozers continued digging for survi
vors, Tass said, but a local official
said the efforts might be in vain.
“There is little hope because of
the flood of dirt and mud,” Erkin
Kasymov, a spokesman for the For
eign Ministry of Tadzhikistan, said
by telephone. “But while there is any
hope, the rescuers will keep dig
ging-”
In one village, Sharora, more than
100 bodies have been hauled from
the mud and wreckage, Tass said. It
said rescuers found only one survi
vor, Sergei Muratov, 27.
Muratov, reported to be in grave
condition, was rushed to a hospital,
where “surgeons are fighting for his
life,” Tass said.
However, Vitaly Zhukov of the re
public’s official news agency and
chief of a press information center
set up in the wake of the tragedy,
told the Associated Press no survi
vors were found during excavations
Tuesday.
Zainiddin Nasreddinov, editor-in-
chief of the news agency, estimated
that about 600 people, or about Sha-
rora’s entire population, had been
killed in the village.
Tass on Monday estimated that
1,000 people had been killed, and
official reports said more than 100
people were hospitalized in Du
shanbe.
The predominantly Moslem vil
lagers buried their dead, and “the
funeral processions seem endless,”
the Tass news agency said.
Zhukov said 11 people died over
night in hospitals. Late Tuesday,
amid reports that casualties might
not be as high as initially reported,
he said the preliminary estimate re
mained at 1,000 dead.
He added, however, that it was
still too early to determine how
many people had been buried in the
slide.
Zhukov said the republic will need
about 400 prefabricated houses for
survivors in the stricken villages. He
told the AP, however, that although
several neighboring republics and
rescue teams from Armenia had of
fered assistance, local authorities
had not yet determined just what
help would be needed.
German gas warfare history
may be resurfacing in Libya
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) — Charges that West German
companies helped Libya build what
may be a poison gas plant recall hor
rors from two world wars and
images of what a politician called the
“evil, self-deceiving German.”
Germany shocked the world in
World War I by wiping out 5,000 Al
lied soldiers April 22, 1915, with
chlorine gas, introducing the era of
chemical warfare. The Nazis later
used Zyklon B gas to kill millions of
prisoners at the Auschwitz death
camp.

845-2611
In addition to lessons of the past,
the current debate dwells on moral
standards in a nation that has devel
oped an arms export industry in the
last 15 years that ranks fifth in the
world.
“German profits have grown
much more quickly than ethical stan
dards,” said the Rev. Friedhelm
Hengsbach, a social sciences profes
sor at St. Georgen Theological Uni
versity in Frankfurt.
“The Germans are very smart in
the sense of economic realities, but
they’re not that shrewd when it
comes to ethical responsibility and
political realities,” the Jesuit priest
said.
Norbert Gansel, a member of Par
liament for the opposition Social
Democrats, put the problem suc
cinctly: “Now, our history has caught
up with us again. The evil, self-de
ceiving German is back.”
the world, we expect that to lie recip
rocated,” he said. “If it is not, I don't
see that we have any course but lo
strongly, fairly, objectively, total
enforce” the laws governing interna
tional trade.
Mosbacher, a longtime friend and
fund-raiser for President Bush
one of four Texans named to the
Bush Cabinet, comes to Washingtoi
without government experience am
after making his fortune in theoi
business.
A passing reference by Mosbacher
to fellow Texan John Tower, nomi
nated to be defense secretary,
prompted Sen. John McCain, R
Ariz., to rework Bush’s no-tax slogan
and protest in jest: “Read my lips
No new Texans.”

Report shows
widening gap
between races
Part One of!
B Doug
Govciiniieiii statistics say West
German companies legally sell about
$16.6 billion worth of guns, subma
rines, munitions and other arms
overseas each year. That puts the
country in fifth place behind the
United States, Soviet Union, France
and Britain.
Several state and local investiga
tions are under way to determine the
amount of arms and arms-related
goods sent abroad illegally.
Included are inquiries into reports
of West German involvement in
Iraqi poison gas production in addi
tion to allegations that West German
companies helped build the plant at
Rabta, south of Tripoli, that Libya
says makes medicines and the
United States says is for producing
chemical weapons.
Iraq acknowledged using poison
gas during its war with Iran, in
which a cease-fire was reached in
August, and has been accused of us
ing it on minority Kurds.
Reports arise frequently of West
German companies evading export
restrictions, as Gansel reminded a
noisy parliamentary debate on the
Libyan matter last week.
Joachim Perels, a political science
teacher at Hanover University, said
in an interview, “It is a question of
current-day morality and the Nazi
past. You just can’t lose sight of that
second point. It would be better if
West Germany didn’t supply Libya
with any materials that could be used
for war.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
economic gap between blacks and
whites widened during the Rea
gan years. National Urban
League officials said Tuesday
while finding encouraging signs
that President Bush may take
steps to improve conditions for
black America.
“I expect the Bush While
House to be a very different place
from the Reagan White House,”
John E. Jacob, the president of
the National Urban League, said.
“I am hopeful that he will
implement policies that close the
tragic gap that puts African
Americans on a separate and un
equal track from white Ameri
cans,” he said.
The Urban League, releasing
its annual assessment of the status
and conditions of blacks in Amer
ica, cited statistics that, it said,
show racial inequality is growing
and that blacks face increasing
misery from poverty, crime and
drugs.
Jacob said blacks were the only
major ethnic group whose unem
ployment rate rose during the
1980s. He said housing segrega
tion increased, and black life ex
pectancy at birth began to de
cline.
“Blacks did not share the pros
perity and got more than their
share of the misery” during the
1980s, Jacob said at a news con
ference at which he released the
study.
The report, “The State of
Black America, 1989,” is the 14th
annual assessment of black Amer
ica by the league, a 78-year-old
organization that conducts re
search and is an advocate for mi
norities.
In a summary of economic
conditions, David H. Swinton,
dean of the business school al
Jackson State University in Mis
sissippi, wrote that no progress
was made during the Reagan ad
ministration to reduce economic
disparities faced by blacks.
“In fact, racial inequality in
American life actually increased
by many of the standard indica
tors,” he wrote.
Jacob said some blacks bene
fited from the economic growth
during the Reagan administra
tion, but he said that was con
fined to those who were the most
educated and best trained.
He said Bush’s Cabinet ap
pointments “have been wise, and
there are people at key depart
ments with whom we can work.”
He called on Bush to adopt as a
goal achieving economic parity
between whites and blacks by the
year 2000.
The report contains a grim as
sessment of the outlook for black
children in America. Marian
Wright Edelman wrote that com
pared with 1980, black children
are more likely to be born into
poverty, lack early prenatal care
nave a single mother, have an un
employed parent and not go to
college.
A black baby is three times as
likely as a white baby to be born to
a mother who has had no prena
tal care and is more than twice as
likely to die during the first year,
she said. A black male teen-ager is
six times as likely as a white male
teen-ager to be the victim of a
homicide, she said.
