Bush prepares for Mandela’s visit
President: U.S. sanctions against South Africa remain in place
WASHINGTON (AP) — When
Nelson Mandela comes here next
week, President Bush will assure him
that U.S. sanctions against South Af
rica will remain in place at least until
all remaining political prisoners in
that country are released, U.S. offi
cials said Monday.
That should come as good news to
Mandela who, since he began his in
ternational tour almost two weeks
ago, has been demanding that for-
eign governments continue pressur
ing South Africa to end discrimina
tion against blacks.
A highlight of Mandela’s 12-day
U.S. visit occurs Monday when Bush
welcomes the black nationalist leader
to the White House.
After four days in New York and
Boston starting this Wednesday, the
deputy leader of the African Na
tional Congress will spend Sunday
through Tuesday in Washington.
He then goes to Atlanta, Miami, De
troit, Los Angeles and Oakland.
U.S. policy toward South Africa
has been highly contentious over the
years, and an administration move
to ease the sanctions at this time
could provoke yet another clash.
However, the administration
seems unlikely to tamper with the
sanctions for the moment. Besides
being illegal, analysts said, any such
move would cast a cloud over Man
dela’s visit and set back the Republi
can goal of attracting more African-
Americans to GOP ranks.
The sanctions ban U.S. landing
rights for South African Airways as
well as the importation of certain
South African products. Also pro
hibited are new U.S. investments
and bank loans.
Democrats on Capitol Hill, who
generally are strong supporters of
sanctions, believe the liberalizing
measures thus far adopted by Presi
dent F. W. de Klerk are largely cos
metic.
However, there may be 4
agreement between the administij.
tion and Congress over preciset
what South Africa must do tobeir
compliance.
They detect signs that some in the
administration want to give a boost
to de Klerk by scaling back some
sanctions.
The administration says its policy
will be guided by the 1986 sanctions
legislation. The president can con
sider lifting any of the sanctions if
South Africa meets four of five con
ditions set forth by Congress.
No one on either side is claimin'
that South Africa has met the con
gressional reauirement that allpo|
cal prisoners be released. On thista.
sis, Mandela will receive assurance)

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) —
President-elect Ion Iliescu on Friday
ordered home the club-wielding coal
miners he had summoned to help
put down anti-government riots.
Continuing violence forced the post
ponement of his inauguration.
Iliescu’s government also moved
to distance itself from the miners’
rampage, during which demonstra
tors, journalists and passers-by were
beaten and opposition parties’ of
fices raided.
Premier Petre Roman told a news
conference that the miners had only
been asked to peacefully occupy
University Square and that the gov
ernment deplored all subsequent vi
olence.
In Washington, a Bush adminis
tration official said non-humanita
rian aid to Romania will be withheld
to protest the violence.
State Department spokesman
Richard Boucher said aid programs
being considered would be held up
“until the democratic process has
been restored.” He said $80 million
in food aid and $1 million in medical
aid would not be affected.
Wednesday’s police crackdown on
a 53-day protest in the central square
set off the worst violence since the
December pro-democracy revolu
tion that toppled Communist dicta
tor Nicolae Ceausescu.
The demonstrators say the new
freely elected government, led by
Iliescu and his National Salvation
Front, is dominated by former Com
munists, ' whom they accuse of
continuing Ceausescu’s repressive
policies.
After the breakup of the demon
stration at the square, angry protes
ters re-grouped and attacked gov
ernment buildings. Government
forces fired on them, killing at least
five people and injuring more than
350.
The miners poured into town on
Thursday at Iliescu’s call for help in
quelling what he called a “facist” re
volt.
The state news agency Rompres
said Iliescu met with the miners’
leaders Friday and ordered them to
leave the capital.

Supreme Court empowers agency
to restore workers’ pension plans
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court
gave broader powers Monday to an agency
guarding the pensions of 30 million American
workers, making it less likely that taxpayers will
have to pay billions in bailouts down the road.
By an 8-1 vote, the court said the Pension Ben
efit Guaranty Corporation acted within its au
thority when it ordered LTV Corp. and its sub
sidiary, LTV Steel Co., to restore pension plans
with unfunded liabilities of $2.3 billion.
Government lawyers told the justices the ap
peals court ruling, if not overturned, could have
led “to a financial crisis similar to that currently
facing” the government insurance program for
the savings and loan industry.
Referring to the pension corporation’s current
deficits. Labor Department lawyer Joe McGowan
had said, “If they go bust, the taxpayer picks up
the bill —just like the S&Ls.”
said. “It’s closed now and it’s a good
James B. Lockhart, the PBGC’s executive di
rector, said Monday the decision “removes a
cloud that has been overhanging the agency for
two and a half years.” He said the ruling will dis
courage other companies from terminating pen
sion plans through bankruptcy maneuvers.
Michael S. Gordon, a Washington pensions
lawyer, said the ruling will prevent companies
with troubled pension funds from seeking the
protection of bankruptcy reorganization.
“It was a loophole that could be exploited,”
Gordon
thing.”
LTV said nothing has changed financially.
“LTV filed for Chapter 11 protection four
years ago, because, among other things, we could
not afford to make payments into these three
pension plans,” the company said in a prepared
statement. “That situation has not changed. We
still cannot afford the plans. It will be the compa
ny’s objective to continue to seek a resolution
which recognizes the fact.”
Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole, who chairs the
PBGC’s board of directors, said the corporation’s
victory would encourage better funding of pen
sions.
At issue in the pensions case was the federal
agency’s power to shift liability for pension pay
ments back to an employer under what it calls an
“anti-follow-on policy.”
Writing for the court, Justice Harry A. Black-
mun said the policy “is not contrary to clear con
gressional intent and is based on a permissible
construction” of federal law.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation,
modeled after the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. and the Federal Savings and Loan Insur
ance Corp., is wholly owned by the federal gov
ernment.
The agency protects the pension benefits of
workers who participate in single-employer pen
sion plans.
When a pension plan is ended with insufficient
money to satisfy promised benefits, the ageno
becomes the pension plan’s trustee, taking over
its assets and liabilities. The agency then pays-
with taxpayer money — benefits workers had
earned as of the date the pension plan ended.
The PBGC has money problems of itsown-i
$1 billion deficit. It currently lists assets of about

$3.2 billion and liabilities of about $4.2 billion.
The Dallas-based LTV and its Cleveland
based LTV Steel subsidiary, after filing for reor
ganization under federal bankruptcy law in
1986, advised the PBGC that they could not fund
the pension plans they sponsored. The plans
were ended in 1987.
Nationwide, some 870,000 private pension
plans hold assets of about $2 trillion dollars.
