MOSCOW (AP) — A newspaper
has lifted the lid off the dirty side of
the war in Afghanistan with two So

soldiers beating innocent prisoners,
trading submachine guns for turn
coats and barely surviving attacks by
their own helicopters.

Bush, who had invited Demo

Congress to the White House
Wednesday for a report on his just-

occasion to lobbv against the amend

Sen. Bob Pack wood, R-Ore., said
Bush told the lawmakers that “if you

any negotiations with anvbodv that's

that's a step backward, not a step for

The Senate had already delaved
action on the legislation at the Bush
administration's request.
White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said Busn told the lawmak

these kinds of limitations would not

Mexican leftist party
announces weeklong
election fraud protest
opi
Wei
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A leftist
(position party announced
Wednesday a weeklong campaign of
demonstrations and rallies in several
cities to protest alleged fraud in
Michoacan state legislative elections
In paid advertisements in Mexico
City newspapers, the Democratic
Revolutionary Party said it ''de
mands respect for the will of the
people and that our victories be rec
ognized. which are the victories of
the people of Michoacan."
A state election board ruled Tues
day night that the ruling Institutio
nal Revolutionary Party won 12 of
the 24 seats in the new Michoacan
legislature and the Democrats Rev-
ohitkmarv Party six. with the rest
going to three other minority
groups
Supporters of the Democratic
Revolutionary Party, claiming it had
been cheated out of nine seats,
blocked mads in Michoacan to pro
test the alleged fraud.
Attorney (General Enrique Alvarez
del Castillo threatened to take legal
action because a man who had suf
fered a heart attack was allegedly
held up at a Mkhoacan roadblock
for three hours on the way to the
hospital and died.
The roadblocks were lifted
Wednesday before the attorney gen
eral spoke. Democratic Revolution
ary Party officials said, but groups of
opposition supporters remained
outside the governor's mansion in
Morelia, the state capital about 150
miles west of Mexico City, in silent
protest.
The July 2.elec tions in Mk hoacan
and four other states were widely
seen as a test of President CLarlos Sa
linas de Ciortari’s intentions to clean
up Mexico’s fraud-ridden balloting
system, which has kept the Institu-
tional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
in power for 60 years.
Salinas' own election in Julv 1988

Party carried Baja Californu. with

a governor's race.
The PRI won state elections in
Chihuahua and in its strongholds of
Zacatecas and Campeche

Bush makes
plans for U.S.
on moon, Mars
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush will seek to commit the
United Suites Thursday- to build
ing a manned outpost on the
moon and sending astronauts to
Mars, an administration official
said Wednesday
Bush will not outline a specific
proposal but will endorse the con
cept of a moon-Mars mission,
which was recommended bv Vice
President Dan Quayle and the
National Space Council that
Quavlr chairs, the official said
The official revealed the presi
dent's deciskm on condition of
anonymity.
Bush's 'announcement will
come in a major spare policy
speech outlining his goals to revi
talize the nation s space program
on the 20th anniversary of man’s
first visit to the moon.
The speech will include no
timetables or cost estimates, the
official said
The moon-Mars recommenda
tion originated m the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration, which sent it to the presi
dent via Qua vie and the council.
Bush's speech Thursday will
include a “pretty general two- or
three-sentence kind of goal,”
White House Press Secretary
Marlin Fiuwater said earlier
“There's a lot of analysis that
needs to be considered, especially
in terms of cost" to maintain a hu
man outpost on the moon and to
mount a Mars mission. Fit/water
told reporters
“It is a costly venture and those
aspects need to be considered."
he said.
At NASA, Dr. Frank Martin,
the head of the exploratkiir of
fice. said such a princct would
more than double the current
NASA budget of Mime $13 billion
a year, pushing it above 2 percent
of the total federal budget
Gongrestional leaders who
suoke to reporters at the White
House after meeting with Bush
on other topics voiced caution
about the cost of such a proposal.
“We will be . anxious to come
together with a program that tan
provide continued American in
volvement in protects of impor
tance and scientific value." said
House Speaker I homat S. Foley.
“But obviously we also have to
consider the problems that we
have here at home We have re
sources that are run as unlimited
as they once were . . . Ortainlv
we are under very great budget
restraints."
