Legislators work to reduce
giant deficit before holiday
WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
gressional leaders said today that
they were within striking distance of
agreement on a bill reducing the
budget deficit, one of the major is
sues lawmakers must resolve before
adjourning for the year.
Legislators meeting in private late
Sunday and early today made pro
gress in resolving their dispute over
the amount of savings in the pack
age, members of both parties said.
Estimates of the deficit cuts it con
tained ranged between $13 billion
and $17 billion, but lawmakers said
they believed their differences were
bridgeable.
“Things have developed in the
last few hours that give me confi
dence that we’ll reach agreement to
day,” House Speaker Thomas S. Fo
ley, D-Wash., told reporters.
“We’re getting down toward the
end, I think,” said Rep. Bill Frenzel
of Minnesota, ranking Republican
on the House Budget Committee.
Before they can end their 1989
session — which they hope to do this
wee k — lawmakers will have to de
cide how far they will go in eliminat
ing Medicare benefits for long-term
illnesses. Work on that issue was
continuing with no indications of
progress.
What appeared certain was that
the Medicare measure would raise
$5.3 billion in new tax revenues and
include billions of dollars in savings
gimmicks, such as not counting the
money-losing Postal Service’s bud
get.
The House today approved 310.
107 a new version of the $14.6 bi|.
Hon foreign aid bill that President
Bush vetoed Sunday.
Lawmakers removed money fora
United Nations agency that' Bush
claimed financed forced abortionsin
China. Liberals also came out on the
short end of a 215-194 vote that
would have clamped restrictions on
U.S. aid to violence-torn El Salvador
The bill now moves to the Senate.
According to congressional re
cords, the session was only the 13th
time the Senate has met on a Sun
day. The first occurred March 3,
1861, when 20 votes were taken on
the issue of slavery.
NASA rushes to make
scheduled shuttle flight
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— NASA faced a tight schedule Sun
day as a veiled countdown began for
launching the shuttle Discovery on
Thanksgiving Eve with five astro
nauts and a secret spy satellite.
“We’re on a tight schedule, but
Wednesday night is a make-able
launch date,” space agency spokes
man Lisa Malone said.
Launch director Bob Sieck gave
the go-ahead to start the countdown
Sunday afternoon even though
workers at the pad were several
hours behind schedule in doing final
checks and closing up panels on the
lower part of the two solid fuel
booster rockets.
The panels were removed last
week so workers could check com
puter boxes suspected of having
faulty wiring. One of the boxes was
replaced.
Sieck said he was confident the
lagging work could be done in paral
lel with other countdown operations
and that liftoff could occur as
planned between 6:30 p.m. and
10:30 p.m. Wednesday. It will be
only the third after-dark launch
planned in 32 shuttle flights.
The Pentagon will not let NASA
publically disclose the exact time of
launch until nine minutes before the
planned liftoff. Officials said that
would make it more difficult for So
viet reconnaissance satellites and a
spy ship sitting offshore to track the
shuttle.
Critics argue that such secrecy is
unnecessary because the Soviets,
with their intelligence capabilities,
undoubtedly already know a great
deal about the mission and that once
Discovery is in orbit, they will be able
to track it precisely and know what it
is doing.
It is the fifth shuttle flight ded
icated solely to the military.
The space agency was permitted
to announce that the count had
started at 4 p.m., but countdown dis
plays normally available to the media
remained blank, and only members
of the launch team and key NASA
and Pentagon officials were sup
posed to know where the clock
stood.
A news blackout will be enforced
throughout the flight unless some
thing major goes wrong.
As the count started, the astro
nauts assigned to the classified mis
sion flew here Sunday from their
training base in Houston to make
launch preparations.
The commander is Air Force Col.
Frederick C. Gregory, the first black
named to command a shuttle mis
sion. Gregory, 48, flew on a Chal
lenger mission in 1985. The pilot is
Air Force Col. John Blaha, and the
mission specialists are Navy Capt.
Manley L. Carter Jr., F. Story Mus-
grave and Kathryn C. Thornton.
Carter is the only member of the
crew who has not flown on a shuttle
before.
They are expected to stay in space
for four days. Their main task will
be to deploy a satellite which sources
close to the project report will listen
in on diplomatic and military com
munications in the Soviet Union and
other countries. A similar satellite
was launched by another Discovery
crew in 1985.
U.S. Navy
continues bad
luck streak
Engine failure forces
pilots to eject over sea
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A
U.S. Navy pilot remained hospi
talized for observation Sunday af
ter ejecting from a two-seat train
ing jet that crashed into the Gulf
of Mexico.
Two airmen were returning
from Pensacola Naval Air Station
to their home base at Kingsville
Naval Air Station in Texas Friday
when the single engine in their
TA-4J Skyhawk apparently failed
about 20 miles south of Pensa
cola, Navy officials said.
Cmdr. John Marksbury, 44,
was in stable condition at the Pen
sacola Naval Hospital and sched
uled for release Monday, said En
sign Paul Bedsole, a hospital
spokesman. He said Lt. Russell
Coombs, 31, was released Satur
day.
“They were conscious and alert
when they walked into the hospi
tal from the helicopter,” Bedsole
said. “I understand there was
some trauma associated with their
ejection . . . They also received
minor cuts and bruises.”
A second jet, also with two pi
lots aboard, had been accompa
nying their plane and returned
safely to Pensacola.
The crash occurred less than
24 hours after the four pilots
completed a 48-hour review of
safety and operating procedures.

goal at this point. With much of the
research work behind him, Nagy-
vary now faces the task of convincing
the rest of the world of the impor
tance of his find.
He has delivered many lectures to
his peers in biochemistry, he said,
and none of them have expressed
doubts about his methods. But the
music world is skeptical.
“The controversy is enormous,”
he said. “So many people have
claimed that they’ve found the secret
to making violins, it’s like crying
wolf. Everyone expects the results to
be false.”
Nagyvary is trying to win over the
skeptics by donating instruments to
top music conservatories around the
nation and in Europe. Music schools
that own a Stradivarius are first
priority, he said, because he wants
them to compare and see that “the
new violins are as good as or better
than the old.”
He already has donated violins to
the University of Houston, and said
the school’s music performers were
impressed. Professors and students
from the university plan to perform
on both his instruments and Stradi-
varii in a December 16 concert in
Rudder Theatre, and Nagyvary said
he will invite the critics to hear the
difference.
Some experts have judged his in
struments to be the best of all mod
ern violins, and his findings have
brought positive reactions from the
European press. A major newspaper
in Germany ran a full-page article
on his work, Nagyvary said, and a
television program about his re
search was aired in Europe.
Nagyvary also appears in the
NOVA program “What is Music?”
tonight at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at
1 p.m. on KAMU-TV Channel 15.
The program was taped in 1987, he
said, so it does not include some of
his new research.
Before starting research on violins
in 1984, Nagyvary did “typical bio
chemistry research,” but he got tired
of it. His biochemistry colleagues
have mixed reactions about his
doing research on musical instru
ments, he said, but he has received
the support of Texas A&M Univer
sity System Chancellor Perry Adkis-
son and a two-year research grant
from the Texas Board of Education
Nagyvary said he began the work
Ecstasy
(Continued from page 1)
After it has been taken, traces of
ecstasy show up in urine for several
days, compared to less than that for
alcohol and up to 30 days for mari
juana, Wentrcek said.
Although urine testing is cur
rently the most widely used method,
a new, more accurate drug-testing
technique is being developed that
would analyze clippings of hair. This
technique could determine mari
juana use, for example, for months
after it was used, Wentrcek said.
Legally, ecstasy is expensive. Stew
art said the drug laws have been up
dated recently but the classification
of the drug probably hasn’t
changed.
Classified in Penalty Group I, pos
session of the drug is a second-de
gree felony and delivery is a first-de
gree felony. 1 he punishments are:
POSSESSION
• less than 28 grams — two to 20
o?$70 m 00 P 0 nSOn and 3 maximum
• between 28 and 400 grams —
partly because he thinks good violin
music is more beautiful than any
synthetic sound. “1 get more satisfac
tion doing something for the happi
ness of people,” he said.
In addition to producing violins,
his research includes work on violas,
cellos and smaller violins for chil
dren. Though he originally in -
tended to produce high quality vio
lins that were affordable to students,
Nagyvary said he was surprised to
find that nobody wanted to buy m
expensive violins — they assume the
low price indicates low quality.
He hopes to eventually make a
limited number of instruments an
sell them for about $ 15,000 each.
“But first we have to win the puo
licity battle,” he said. “There are a
thousand sharks in a hostile world o
violin-making.”
That hostile world includes nj ar v
famous musicians who are Stradiva
rius owners. If Nagyvary’s in st f u ‘
ments are judged equal to their,
then the value of their expensive i
vestments will go down. . .
But he said that public opw 10
could change in a few years.
“It’s just a matter of time be o
the issue is settled.”
