Lawmaker says U.S shouldn’l
endanger itself to help Mexico
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Kika de la Garza said
private banking policies must not overshadow national
interests in helping Mexico manage its crushing foreign
debt.
De la Garza said that without swift action the debt sit
uation threatens the stability of the U.S.-Mexican bor
der.
He said the arrival of thousands of Central American
refugees who had been crossing into the United States
at Brownsville, until a recent change in immigration
policy, is the first sign that “we’re out of time” in dealing
with the financial crisis in Mexico and the rest of the re
gion.
“That’s the beginning of the end as far as the mass
movement (of refugees),” de la Garza said Sunday.
“They’re coming through Mexico and can cause tre
mendous upheaval in Mexico. It’s the first toll of the
bell tolling many times.”
De la Garza, chairman of the House Agriculture
Committee and a Texas Democrat who represents a
border district, said U.S. administration officials must
give the Mexican debt situation “the highest priority,
higher than nuclear disarmament or trade relations.”
“We’re talking about 2,000 miles of border that need
stability,” de la Garza said. “By taking the burden of
debt off their backs, they can manage internally their
situation to provide stability.”
De la Garza met last week with Mexico’s new ambas
sador to the United States, Gustavo Petricioli, to discuss
ways the United States can help Mexico reduce its $105
billion foreign debt, and earlier this month consul^
with three Mexican lawmakers on the issue.
But he has yet to hear an answer from U.S. Treasur
Secretary Nicholas Brady concerning his requesttlitjj
ministration consider broader hanking guidelineslolt
Mexico capitalize part of its external debt — a meansj
converting interest on the debt into part of the loan,
and other debt restructuring proposals.
While most of Mexico’s U.S. debt is owed locomma
cial hanks, de la Garza argued that U.S. goveintn
leaders must “assure that private banking policies!
not overshadow the best interests of the entire nation.
“We cannot allow the well of friendship to be pii
soned, because it is from this well that we both mu
drink,” he said.
Despite what de la Garza considers the urgencvi
the situation, he said it doesn’t appear to have top pin,r
ity in die Bush administration.
“The long-term national security of the United Slat
depends on a stable Mexico and time has run out,"del
Garza said. “We can’t look hack and say we wished*
could have done this, done that. A politically, social
and economically stable Mexico is necessary for the*
tional security of the United States.”
De la Garza said he and Ambassador Petricioli»
“basically in agreement” on a number ol debt resin
turing options and that “the long- and short-term I*
interest of the United States is a stable Mexico...ai
this can’t do anything hut help us if we help them."
Houston surgeon takes medical relief
to wounded in war-torn Afghanistan
HOUSTON (AP) — Kermit R.
Veggeberg, an orthopedic surgeon
looking to spread some goodwill and
do a little traveling to faraway places,
could have gone to the Dominican
Republic in 1977. He chose Afghani
stan instead.
Veggeberg has since made 1 1
trips bestowing medical aid to the
people of that remote country beset
by turf battles, holy wars, drug run
ners and the Soviet Union occupa
tion — and he is about to make his
12th.
It was in 1985 that an Afghan girl
captured his heart. She was 6 years
old, and her name was Hawa.
“When I saw her I went on my
own ‘jihad (holy war),”’ he said. “She
had been shot in the hip by the Rus
sians, her parents told me, and
whether it was a stray shot or delib
erate, or an accident, I don’t know.
“All I know is that she set some
thing off in me, and I decided I
would do what I could as a doctor to
help those people.”
Veggeberg saw the girl in the Afg
han Surgical Hospital in Peshewar,
Pakistan, just across the border from
Afghanistan.
He could not operate on her then
because he did not have the proper
equipment, but he promised to re
turn in six months and he did.
By then she had disappeared. He
never saw her again.
In between trips, Veggeberg prac
tices at the Spring Branch Hospital,
and makes preparations for more
medical aid to Afghanistan.
“There are 50,000 people in Af
ghanistan that need artificial limbs,”
Veggeberg said. “They lost their
arms and legs in the war, to mines or
gunshots,” he said, adding that
many of the maimed are children.
“All the bad things you have
heard about the war in Afghanistan
are true,” he added, including
booby-trapped ball point pens and
tennis balls the Russians distributed,
and which Afghan children played
with.
“In most cases, the U.S.-backed
rebel forces were without proper
medical care,” he said. “Anyone who
suffered a chest wound, or a belly
wound, died.”
He found the Afghanistan people
to be resilient and determined.
“There are no beggars in Afghani
stan,” he said.
If Veggeberg has his way, he and
his medical teams from Houston will
see that there are 28 hospitals in
place in Afghanistan, one in each
province, within a few years.
The only obstacles are financial
support for the team and getting the
hospitals, which are PDHs, or pack
aged disaster hospitals. In the 1950s,
the U.S. government distributed
1,100 of these hospitals around the
country to be used in case of a nu
clear attack. They ended up in the
hands of civil defense agencies. Each
one consists of 60 crates and weighs
14 tons.
Each PDH includes five operating
tables, operating instruments, anes
thesia equipment, an X-ray machine,
three operating room lights, 200 cots
and other equipment.
“It’s not the Mayo Clinic, but it’ll
do,” he said.

“In the past month about2,(1

Veggeberg
to get medical aid to the Afghans has
led him through a political labyrinth.
That labyrinth included visits to
the Soviet embassy in Washington,
where he tried to convince the Rus
sians to call a cease fire in each of Af
ghanistan’s provinces, one at a time,
so that medical care could be given
to the wounded.
The Soviets politely referred him
to the People’s Democratic Party of
Afghanistan.
He also met in Geneva with the
man in charge of taking care of the
Afghan refugees in Pakistan to ask
for financial aid. Both times he was
refused.
He has the enthusiastic approval
of the U.S. State Department, but no
government money.
Those political missions also
brought Veggeberg into negotia
tions with the seven Mujahedeen
(tribal) groups, which have been
fighting the Russians — and some
times each other.
When Veggeberg finally emerged
from the labyrinth, he had touched
all the bases,- raised all the Hags and
