WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Democratic-controlled Senate, in a
major reversal, restored $600 mil
lion to President Bush’s Star Wars
program Thursday as part of the
$288 billion military spending bill.
The Senate was responding to the
K leas of several legislators including
:ading defense figures.
The senators were worried that
continuing cuts in the space-based
defense initiative would cause irre
versible damage to the program.
By a vote of 53-47, the Senate
adopted an amendment requiring
that $4.3 billion of the money appro-
E riated for the Defense Department
e spent on Star Wars.
The fiscal year in which the
money must be spent begins Sunday.
On Tuesday, the Senate had
voted overwhelmingly, 66-34, to
spend $3.7 billion on Star Wars, offi
cially known as the Strategic Defense
Initiative.
The lawmakers indicated that the
vote reflected an erosion in the sup
port for the program.
But the ranking membersol
Senate Armed Services Comm
— Democrat Sam NunnofGetr
and John Warner of Virginia
gued Thursday that the Star\
total approved Tuesday had
mined their bargaining posilios
negotiations with the Homeot
defense authorization bill
The Senate, in adopting its®
rization legislation last montk
proved $4.5 billion for Star Wat
The House’s defense
earmarked $3.1 billion for the'
gram.
Congress offers
record aid to
Hugo-hit areas
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) —The
city’s airport opened Thursday for
the first time since Hurricane Hugo
hit. Congress approved its largest di
saster-relief measure ever and Presi
dent Bush announced he would tour
storm-damaged areas.
Hundreds of residents queued up
to apply for federal disaster relief at
five Federal Emergency Manage
ment Agency centers, a week after
the storm smashed into South Caro
lina with 135 mph winds.
Bush planned to make a pre-dawn
flight to Charleston on Friday but
would have to complete his tour by
mid-morning in order to leave for
Annapolis, Md., the White House
said.
“We need him to understand how
deep the human suffering is in this,”
Gov. Carroll Campbell said. “I want
him to know that it’s a long haul for
us, and it’s not a quick fix.”
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, in
Charleston to visit shelters housing
those displaced by the storm, urged
that Bush “not just come and visit a
house or two but to come with a plan
and resources.”
Jackson told reporters, “There is
no sense of the massive federal pres
ence that people deserve,” but
praised local residents “who have the
good sense to turn to each other and
not on each other.”
Later Thursday, Congress unani
mously approved $1.1 billion in
emergency aid for victims of Hugo,
the largest relief package ever for a
atural disaster. Hugo “may well be
the most damaging one (hurricane)
in history,” FEMA spokesman Bill
Me Ada said.
“I have never seen so much dam
age in my life,” Sen. Strom Thur
mond, R-S.C., told his colleagues be
fore the vote. “It looked like there
had been a war there.”
Ferdinand Marcos
dies of heart attacl
in Honolulu exile
HONOLULU (AP) — Ferdi
nand E. Marcos succumbed to
cardiac arrest Thursday, but even
in death he remained an un
wanted exile, his remains barred
from U.S. air lanes; his political
legacy still stirring passions in his
Philippine homeland.
Marcos, who ruled the Phil
ippines for more than 20 years
before being ousted in February
1986, died at 12:40 a.m. Thurs
day at St. Francis Medical Center.
He was 72.
Doctors said kidney and lung
failure and a widespread infec
tion contributed to the cardiac ar
rest listed as the cause of death.
The canny, combative poli
tician, who governed at times as a
democrat, at times as a dictator,
died without facing trial on U.S.
criminal charges he plundered
the Philippine treasury.
While Marcos spent nearly 10
months in the hospital, his family
begged Philippine President Co-
razon Aquino to let him come
home to die, but she refused.
Aquino took office as a result
of the popular revolt that drove
Marcos into exile, and her gov
ernment has survived six armed
attempts to overthrow it. She said
she refused again after his death
to allow his burial in the Phil
ippines for the sake of “the tran
quillity of the state and the order
of society.”
Philippine opposition leaders
urged her to reconsider.
“It is just so wrong. It is his
birthright. He is a Filipino, the
greatest Filipino,” said Joe Lazo,
president of the Honolulu group
Friends of Marcos.
Later Thursday, the Feden
Aviation Administration in Wask
ington prohibited any
from Hying Marcos’ remains oil
of the United States for theFB
inpines, saying it would “create
danger to the safety of the
craft and persons involved.”
Lazo said family and friend
would pay respects at
hilltop home overlooking dow
town Honolulu and the
Ocean.
He said no burial plans k
been made and that Mara
would keep trying to bring lie
husband back to his homeland
“She knows that’s what
wanted.”
Tomas “Buddy” Gomez, I
ippine consul general in Hi
lulu and an outspoken Mara
critic, said he would not attend
the memorial service and urge
Marcos not to “exploit her hut
band’s death.”
K.
Marcos’ death was confirmed
at about 1:15 a.m., when hiss
Ferdinand Jr., emerged fromik
intensive care unit and saidhisfi-
ther had been taken to“al
place.”
“Hopefully friends and dew
tors alike will look beyond tie
man to see wTat he stood for -|By Mi
his vision, his compassion and hit
total love of country,” said llit|0f The
composed younger Marcos.
“Father’s not here anymore
He’s gone,” Marcos’ wide*
Imelda, told about two doze:
supporters outside the hospfi
room, said family spokesiw
Roger Peyuan.
Investigators study wreckage
of shell explosion at Fort Sill
FORT SILL, Okla. (AP) — Artillery fire echoed in
the distance Thursday as Army investigators rum
maged through blood-spattered soldiers’ clothing and
inspected the crater where a stray round hit, killing
three soldiers and injuring 24 at Fort Sill.
Col. William Gonzales, commander at Reynolds
Army Hospital at Fort Sill, said some of the soldiers in
jured in Wednesday’s accident were surprised it could
have happened.
“Others were very, very happy thay were not injured
more than they were,” he said.
“They heard a whistle of incoming, a yellow blast and
then they were blown off their feet,” Gonzales said the
soldiers told him. “It’s amazing what the power of a
shell can do.”
The soldiers, in the seventh week of an eight-week
training course at the sprawling Field Artillery Center
in southwest Oklahoma, were lined up to leave their ba
sic training site when the artillery round hit about
p.m. Wednesday.
Two more soldiers were killed at Fort Stewart,&
on Thursday during firing exercises involving4.2®
mortars, the Army said. Details of the accident were
immediately released.
A four-man team from Fort Rucker, Ala., began*
vestigating the Fort Sill accident Thursday.
“We know it happened. Now we’re going to
why it happened,” said Brig. Cen. Lou Hennies, 7i e y mi
tor ol Army safety for the Army Safety Genteratf
Rucker.
“It could be material cor it could be human,” Hen:
said. “If it’s human, it could be in standards, in trail®
in leaders, in individuals or any combination ther
Our purpose is to analyze these findings and come
with a preventive program.”
