U.S., Soviets agree on arms treaty
NEW YORK (AP) — The United States and
the Soviet Union announced agreement in prin
ciple Wednesday on a comprehensive treaty to
set ceilings on deployment of non-nuclear weap
ons in Europe.
The agreement came at the end of more than
five hours of talks between Secretary of State
James Baker III and Soviet Foreign Minister Ed
uard Shevardnadze.
Both ministers cautioned that final approval
must await consultation with their allies in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the
Warsaw Pact.
Shevardnadze said one sticking point re
mained concerning limits on helicopters “but
that is not very difficult” and could be resolved
by NATO and Warsaw Pact negotiators in
Vienna, the site of talks on the treaty for 19
months.
The last remaining roadblocks cleared in the
session at the Soviet Mission to the United Na
tions were limits on land-based airplanes and ver
ification procedures for guarding against cheat
ing. ,
Baker and Shevardnadze did not explain the
deal they struck on these two points, although
Shevardnadze said with a chuckle of course the
Soviet Union made all the concessions.
The accord is the projected centerpiece for a
34-nation summit meeting to be held in Paris
Nov. 19-21.
Until the two superpowers hear from their al
lies, Baker reserved judgment on whether that
deadline would be met.
The treaty would require the Warsaw Pact to
withdraw 40,000 tanks, more than 5 1,000 artil
lery pieces and more than 40,000 armored per
sonnel carriers from eastern and central Europe.
The arms would have to be moved east of the
Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union, about 1,200
miles east of the Soviet border with Poland.
The restrictions on the smaller NA I O forces
would be minimal, requiring only the removal of
some 2,000 tanks.
Artillery strength could be built ud m
ceiling of 20,000 for each alliance. The 3
for tanks would be 20,000 as well and f
armored personnel carriers.
A ceiling also was set for aircraft, but B
and Shevardnadze declined to say what level?
had agreed upon. ™ l
The Soviets, in a concession, agreed to]
naval-based aircraft with a statement outside!
treaty.
“We’ve been working very intensivelyand D
ductively,” Shevardnadze told reporters “|!
very pleased with the results of our work"
Speaking in Russian through an interpreJ
Shevardnadze said that, apart from a meeL
consult allies and the helicopter issue, “weM
been able to reach mutual understanding on l
the major issues.” 8 l
Baker, agreeing, called their session “ven>, I
ductive,” and added, “I too am very pleased f
“We agreed in principle on all of the rena-1
ing major issues.” ^

Senate praises Bush
Resolution revives war powers
• •
issue, supports troop increases
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate overwhelmingly approved a
resolution Tuesday praising Presi
dent Bush’s actions in the Persian
Gulf and supporting continued de
ployment of U.S. troops to deter
Iraqi aggression.
But the debate leading up to the
96-3 vote had nervous echoes of 25
years ago, when a similar act opened
the way to escalation of the Vietnam
War.
Senator after senator rose to say
Bush could not use the resolution as
justification for future military
moves. In fact, debate seemed aimed
more at stating what the document
was not than what it was.
“This resolution is not an authori
zation for the use of force, now or in
the future,” said Senate Majority
Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine.
“This resolution is not a blank check.
This resolution is not a Gulf of Ton
kin Resolution.”
In 1964, Congress approved a res
olution giving President Johnson the
authority to retaliate for an attack on
two vessels in Vietnam’s Gulf of
Tonkin. The resolution later was
used as authorization for a widening
of the U.S. war effort.
Tuesday’s vote came a day after
the House approved a similar reso
lution on a 380-29 vote. Senators
said they thought it was important to
send a signal of U.S. unity by giving
legislative support to Bush’s moves
so far.
The resolution “strongly approves
the president’s leadership” in win
ning approval of eight resolutions in
the United Nations Security Council
that impose a global trade embargo
on Iraq and call for the withdrawal
of Iraqi troops from Kuwait.
It also states: “The Congress sup
ports continued action by the presi
dent in accordance with the deci
sions of the United Nations Security
Council and in accordance with
United States constitutional and stat
utory processes ... to deter Iraqi ag
gression and to protect American
lives and vital interests in the re
gion.
Kennedy called that language “a
blank check endorsement for future
actions. ... It is, in effect, a Tonkin
Gulf Resolution for the Persian
Gulf’ that abdicates Congress’ war-
declaring power.
Kennedy said he was voting
against the measure because it could
“easily be used by President Bush as
approval in advance by Congress of
military action against Iraq, up to
and including the launching of an
all-out war.”
“Future actions must be judged
on their own merits,” Mitchell said.
Store owner found

guilty of obscenity
H ' ✓'"V ' T ^ 1 AFT I \ XT' TJ A T L' IT I 1 ^I #- r 4- _
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
(AP) — A record store owner to
day was found guilty of obscenity
for selling a record by the contro
versial rap group 2 Live Crew.
Jurors deliberated less than
three hours before convicting
Charles Freeman on a misdemea
nor obscenity charge. He was ar
rested by undercover Broward
County sheriff’s deputies June 8
for selling the Miami rap group’s
album “As Nasty As They Wanna
Be” in his E-C Records store.
The case went to a jury of five
women and one man after final
arguments this morning. Free
man could get a year in jail and a
$1,000 fine.
Sentencing was set for Nov. 2.
“It doesn’t represent my com
munity where E-C Records is!”
Freeman shouted as he left the
courthouse. “It’s unfair. The jury
was all white. They don’t know
where E-C Records is. They don’t
know a ... thing about the ghetto.”
Prosecutors contended the al
bum exceeds the limits of com
munity standards and free speech
with explicit and sometimes vio
lent references to sex. Freeman
was arrested two days after U.S.
District Judge Jose Gonzalez
ruled the lyrics were obscene.
But in his closing argument,
defense attorney Bruce Rogow
told the jury that "one persons
vulgarity is another person’s art"
and argued that the jury could
not convict Freeman if they
found any artistic merit in the
group’s album.
Assistant State Attorney Leslie
Robson argued that the right to
free speech is not absolute, say-

Defense
ing: “The First Amendment does
not give you the right to say what
you want, when you want
where you want. With rights and
freedom come responsibility.”
As the jurors began deliberat
ing, alternate juror Sheryl Salo
mon, who sat through the trial
but was not needed on the final
panel, said she would have voted
for acquittal.
“I was very offended byit.es
pecially the fyrics, but I have to
question whether there is notar
tistic value,” she said. “It’s music,
it’s still music.”
