House Speaker Thomas Foley denied Thursday that Democratic leaders implicitly agreed that Bush will win a cut in the capital gains tax in the budget summit in ex change for abandonment of his no-new-taxes campaign pledge. “We are all interested in reaching an agreement, but there were no preconditions and no agreements,” said Foley, D-Wash. But supporters of the tax cut read Bush’s statement differently, and it has rejuvenated the issue which had been hovering ghost-like ever since Democrats barely succeeded in blocking a cut last year. When the speaker and other Democratic leaders joined Bush Tuesday in endorsing a statement that a “tax revenue increase” was needed, the next two words were “growth incentives.” In the code of Capitol Hill, that almost always refers to a cut in the capital gains tax rate which would affect people who sell investments, such as stocks or a second home, at a profit. “I think we should use the current budget negotia tions as a brand-new-opportunity to put forward a pure, pro-growth capital gains initiative,” said Sen. Robert Kasten, R-Wis., after Bush's announcement. The Democratic Study Group, an organization which Foley used to head, countered the Republicans with a letter signed by 134 members saying that “if the presi dent insists that we need new taxes, we feel they must be levied against... those at the very high end of the in come scale.” The rhetoric is a prelude to what eventually must he tackled in the closed-door budget talks between Con gress and the White House. The negotiators continued their meetings Thursday with discussions of possible cuts in benefit programs, but no decisions were made, bargainers said. Reducing spending on such programs — which in clude Social Security and Medicare — is extremely sen sitive politically, since so many voters could be directly affected. “Everybody flinched,” Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D- Texas, said to describe the negotiators’ reactions when the re ductions were discussed.

President Corazon Aquino bade fare well to hundreds of American Peace Gorps vol unteers. The soldiers killed two people and arrested 21 others. T hey later forced cemetery workers to bury the rebel, whose coffin was dropped as pall bearers and other mourners fied the shooting. The attack illustrated the pattern of violence that prompted the decision to suspend Peace Corps operations and led the U.S. Embassy to warn Americans to take extra safety precautions. Aquino addressed Peace Corps members one day after U.S. officials ordered all 261 volunteers to leave the Philippines because intelligence re ports indicated the New 7 People’s Army planned to kill or kidnap them. “The decision of your government ... caught us by surprise,” Aquino told a farewell reception at the presidential palace. “I close with the hope and prayer that your government will re-assess the situation.” U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Platt said the United States planned to return volunteers as soon as possible “to continue their efforts in de velopment, in education programs side-by-side with their Filipino colleagues and friends.” Volunteers said they were summoned to Ma nila on short notice last weekend. Some said they did not have time to say goodbye to friends or pack their belongings. Volunteers will begin leaving Friday on com mercial flights to Hawaii, officials said. During the farewell ceremony, several volun teers wept as one, Kim Rylander of Denison, Texas, told Aquino that she regretted leaving die Philippines. “I will return here when peace is already at hand because I left my heart here,” said Ry lander, her voice breaking with emotion as she spoke in Tagalog, the main Philippine language. U.S. officials declined to elaborate on the al leged threat to Peace Corps members. Gommu nist rebels are believed to have killed eight Amer icans since April 1989 but had made no public threat against the Peace Corps. Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos said 1 United Stales acted hastily in withdrawingu ! teers. National Security Adviser Rafael lletov! the move would embarass the Aquino £ | ment internationally.

United States, Japan agree on economic adjustments TOKYO (AP) — U.S. and Japa nese trade negotiators agreed Thursday to drastic economic changes to help cut the $49 billion U.S. trade deficit with Japan. Offi cials said the unprecedented pact would improve the quality of life in both countries. In the wide-ranging accord, the United States agreed to raise its tax revenues. Japan said it would spend $1 trillion more on public works in the next de’cade. The two measures are aimed at helping close the trade gap and easing trade friction. “I welcome and endorse this joint report,” President Bush said in Washington as the talks ended at the Foreign Ministry in Tokyo. Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu said that carrying out the reforms would be painful. “However, these mea sures are intended to achieve a ma jor reform of the Japanese economy in the consumers’ best interests,” he said. Kaifu praised Bush’s willingness to consider tax revenue increases at the risk of a strong political backlash. Bush commended Kaifu for “his strong and courageous political lead ership.” Linn Williams, the U.S. deputy trade representative, called the agreement, which followed tele phone consultations between Bush and Kaifu on Wednesday night, “something no two other countries have done before.” Bonds (Continued from page 1) tern. “I don’t think anyone on this board would do anything to hurt our fiagship University or any of the other universities,” McKenzie said. Regent Wayne Showers also ap proved of the plan. “If we’re going to operate as a Sys tem, then we should operate under this type of financial system,” Show ers said.
