The Battalion WORLD & NATION The Batt Thursday, January 26,1989 Thursdi Senate unanimously confirms Baker while Mitchell pledges cooperation WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate unanimously confirmed James A. Baker III as secretary of state Wednesday, as Majority Leader George Mitchell pledged to cooper ate with the Bush administration while pursuing a Democratic agenda of improvements in the minimum wage, housing, health care and the environment. The Democratic-controlled Sen ate also confirmed Elizabeth Dole as Labor Secretary and Richard Dar- man as Budget Director without a dissenting vote. Mitchell, in a speech that seemed crafted as a response to President Bush’s inaugural address, said he looked forward to “true bipartisanship” on foreign policy. He said that meant the White House must commit itself to “full, timely and meaningful consultation” with Congress. The first votes were anything but contentious. The roll call was 99-0 to confirm Baker, who served as Treasury Sec retary and White House chief of staff under President Reagan and was President Bush’s campaign man ager last year. He was sworn into of fice minutes later, the State Depart ment said. Elizabeth Dole, the wife of Senate GOP Leader Bob Dole, also won ap proval on a 99-0 vote. She is a for mer Secretary of Transportation who resigned her post to help her husband’s unsuccessful 1988 presi dential campaign. Darman’s confirmation roll call was 99-0 as well. He is a former top aide to Baker at the Treasury and will be Bush’s point man in the drive to reduce the federal deficit. In all three instances, Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla, was the only sen ator who didn’t vote. In the busiest day so far of the new, 101st Congress, committees also held confirmation hearings for several Cabinet appointees, Among them was Defense Secretary-desig nate John Tower, who said there is a need for reform at the Pentagon and pledged to work with Congress to achieve it. Nearly a quarter of the Senate sponsored legislation to block the $45,000 proposed congressional pay raise scheduled to take effect on Feb. 8. The proposal would roll back the increase if, as expected, the House lets it become law without a vote. The Bush administration worked behind the scenes to defuse contro versy over one Cabinet appoint ment. Dr. Sullivan believes in his heart that the Roe vs. Wade decision should be overturned.” — Gordon Humphrey, senator,R-N.H. Louis Sullivan, President Bush’s choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services, met privately with anti-abortion senators and apparently persuaded them he is committed enough to their cause to win their support for confii lion. “Dr. Sullivan believes in hist that the Roe vs. Wade deti should he overturned,” said' Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H,if ring to the 1973 Supreme Gout! ing that legalized abortion. Sul had upset many conservative, ators when he was quoted byang senator as saying he did not! overturning the ruling. The House was not in session, inside the Senate chamber,spee by Mitchell and Republican lei Bob Dole were followed bytheia duction of legislation for the: time this year. The hills ranged from a mea« to block the proposed $45,00(1; raise for lawmakers — or repeal it takes effect on Feb. 7 — toDe proposal for a balanced bnij amendment to the Constitition. Dole, who spoke a lew mom! after Mitchell, pledgi bipartisanship and added it was intention of the Republicans to"s port and further the cause of: new Republican president." 0p hoj By Dou( SPORTS E In 26 ye coach, She of changes Followir dan earli changed h one of tho: parttwc Few cha had as big to institute 45-second son.

The five missiles were part of the same production lot and Air Force investigators discovered a common roblem that led to the safety action eing taken, the Washington Post said. The service is still trying to decide how to repair the five missiles, each of which is designed to carry 10 war heads, the paper added, quoting un identified sources. The Air Force refused to confirm the account on Wednesday, ac knowledging only that a single MX missile had been taken off alert last June following an accident. That accident previously had been reported by newspapers in Wyoming, where F.E. Warren Air Force Base is located. The nation’s MX, or Peacekeeper, missiles are all deployed at F.E. Warren. The Air Force also insisted Wednesday, without any elabora tion, that the nation’s entire MX force of 50 missiles was on alert “at this time.” “We have 50 missiles that are de ployed and operational at this time,” said Ft. Col., Don Christianson, a spokesman at F.E. Warren. Christianson refused to say whether any of the problem missiles had been replaced with new missiles in order to maintain the alert force. The spokesman agreed, however, that one MX missile had been taken off alert, its warheads removed and its components broken down as part of a safety investigation after an inci dent last June. “Last summer, we received some indications of an electrical discon nection with a Peacekeeper (MX) missile inside its silo,” Christiansctn said. “An investigation was conducted, and a structural failure in a support skirt was found to be the cause,” he said. “There was no safety threat. T he reports of the investigation are classified, however, so I am unable to go further.” The Post said Wednesday the mis sile had fallen between six inches and a foot when it came “unglued” from its underground launch canis ter. The canister envelops the missile and is used to propel the four-stage MX from its silo before the main rocket motor is ignited. The newspaper said the fall of the 195,000-pound missile was sufficient to cause “grave damage” and to re quire “extensive repairs.” And when the Air Force further investigated the matter, it concluded the missile was one of a batch of five that had been subject to a particular produc tion problem, the paper said. Air Force officials responded by ordering removal of the lO-warkf packages atop each of the other! suspec t missiles to relieve the wei and pressure on their canisterta pending corrective action, thepa| concluded. The Air Force so far has been thori/ed to build 50 of the miss and to deploy them at F.E. Warm Former President Ronald Rai pushed Congress for permission build 50 more MX missiles and base them on mobile rail-car lap ers.

Bush this week is making ethics a continuing theme, to ensure that he does not face the allegations of an administration “sleaze factor” that dogged his predecessor. “We need an unambiguous code, a code of conduct, to ensure that those who serve the public trust avoid any actual or apparent conflict between their personal and public interest,” he said in setting up the Commission on Federal Ethics Law Reform by executive order. Bush said current ethics rules do not adequately serve to eliminate use of public funds for private gains. He said the laws are fragmented and confusing. Bush ordered his new commission to give him recommendations for new legislation by March 9. The panel’s chairmen are Griffin Bell, the former attorney general in the Carter administration, and Mal colm Wilkey, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington. Other panel members are former White House counsels Fred Fielding and Lloyd Cutler, attorney Jan Baran, former Rep. Harrison Schmitt of New Mexico, former counsel to the Senate Armed Serv ices Committee R. James Woolsey, and Judith Bello, former counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative’s of fice.

Phil Gramm and Lloyd Bentsen, Secre tary of State-designate James A. Baker III and Commerce Secretary- designate Robert Mosbacher Sr., both of Houston. “Basically, the president wanted to get together with a group of Tex ans and talk about a variety of issues important to Texas and to America,” said Gramm, a Republican. “From a Texas perspective, this gives new meaning to the term ‘power lunch,”’ said a Democratic congressional staffer. Gramm said the issues discussed included creating new jobs through trade, opening new markets over seas for American goods and en hancing the country’s competitive position. Other discussions, Gramm said, covered creating more opportwii for trade with Mexico and probli South Texas is facing as refuj from Central America stream afl the Rio Grande seeking asylum, Gramm said the influx has pul extra burden on communitia South Texas, “and we need a to deal with it. We’ve gottohai more effective way of screeningpi pie.” Immigration officials should able to reject on its face an a] tion for political asylum from so! one from a country like Costa Hi which is generally agreed tobea mocracy, rather than let the a| cant remain in the United SB while his case is pending, Grai said. Gramm also met Wednesday Agricult ure Secretary-desijjffl Clayton Yeutter, discussing programs in Texas and possible! provements, and Europe’s $100 million in U.S. beef exporis cause the cattle were fed growl! mones.
