Serbs, Tudjman told the parlia
ment in Zagreb.
“We are being forced to lead a
battle for life or death, for the
survival of the Croatian people
and Croatia," he added.
The breakaway republic's new
premier-designate, Franjo Gre-
guric, formed a new Cabinet
Thursday that dropped some
prominent hawks and added an
ethnic Serb and members of op
position parties. The new Cab
inet must be approved by Parlia
ment.
The continued fighting could
complicate efforts by the Euro
pean Community to fashion a
cease-fire in Croatia, where
about 50 people have died in
clashes since it declared inde
pendence on June 25. A three-
member EC delegation is sched
uled to arrive today.
The Vatican announced
Thursday that Pope John Paul II
is sending an envoy to Yugosla
via. French Archbishop Jean-
Louis Tauran, the Vatican's for
eign minister, plans to leave
Monday for Zagreb to meet with
bishops and political leaders.
Petar Sales, a member of Tudj-
man's party, demanded that Par
liament declare the federal mili
tary “an army of occupation" so
that “any soldier outside bar
racks can be considered an
enemy."
The parliamentary session was
broadcast on Croatian TV, inter
spersed with film of refugees
and wounded Croatian fighters.
The reserves call-up could add
more than 30,000 Croatian
troops to the 70,000 currently in
service.
Kuwaitis accept anniversary
Lingering destruction haunts area, brings back memories
KUWAIT CITY (AP) — Kuwai
tis on Friday mark the anniver
sary of an event most would like
to
forget —Iraq's
invasion of
their home
land.
But remind
ers of Saddam
Hussein's de
struction are
everywhere,
from the black
smoke billow
ing off hun
dreds of oil wells to the shell-
damaged hotels and abandoned
Iraqi tanks.
Saddam Hussein
To mark the anniversary,
there will be special prayers at
mosques for the 2,400 people
still missing and presumed held
by Iraq. There will be symposi
ums, sponsored by the govern
ment, “in commemoration of the
tyrarmical Iraqi invasion."
And there will be continued
soul-searching about why the in
vasion happened and how to
deal with the consequences.
"Kuwaitis feel both relief and
depression," said Mohammed
al-Saqr, editor of the Al-Qabas
newspaper. "Relief because they
got their country back.
"But they are depressed, too,
because they still nave lots of
loved ones in Iraqi prisons. Be
cause the government is slow in
restoring things back the way
they were. Because Kuwait is not
like before."
Some wonder if their home
land will ever be the same.
The desert, where Kuwaitis
traditionally retreat for winter
camping trips, is littered with
thousands of unexploded shells
and cluster bomblets.
The seashore, their summer
haven, is filthy with oil and still
strung in parts with barbed wire.
Despite the presence of U.N.
truce observers on the Kuwait-
Iraq border and some 3,900 U.S.
army troops, the fear of Iraq per
sists.
"The insecurity is deep inside
us," said Mohammed Hussain, a
B rofessor of sociology at Kuwait
University.
"You can see it in the pleas
that American soldiers stay on to
protect Kuwait," he said. "You
can see it in attempts by the mid
dle class to buy property in other
Arab countries and in Europe.
The wealthy always had them;
now everyone wants a place to
flee to."
The scars cut deep in adults
and children alike.
Gas tax increase endangered officers fail
as leaders allow House to vote evidence in
WASHINGTON (AP) — A five-cent gasoline
tax increase hit a potentially lethal snag Thursday
when House Democratic leaders agreed to allow
lawmakers to vote on whether they want pork-
barrel highway projects enough to raise taxes.
House Speaker Thomas S. Foley, who favors
the tax boost and the transportation spending it
would finance, reluctantly bowed to Republicans'
demands that they be allowed a shot at stripping
away the tax.
"If you want to vote against the gas tax, the bill
should be scaled down accordingly," Foley cau
tioned. That means that without the tax increase,
many of the more than 450 highway "demonstra
tion projects" across the country would have to be
eliminated from the $153.5-billion, five-year trans
portation bill.
Republicans insisted that most House members
would prefer to let those special projects die than
vote for a second federal gasoline tax increase in
less than a year. A nickel-a-gallon increase was
enacted last year as part of a deficit-reduction
plan.
Democrats were not so sure. Even if a majority
of House members votes for the tax, its chances of
becoming law are slim. There is stiff opposition in
the Senate, which passed a highway bill without a
tax increase, and the White House insists Presi
dent Bush will veto the tax if he gets the chance.
A House vote could come today.
Under prodding from Foley and other Demo
cratic leaders, the House Ways and Means Com
mittee approved the increase on a 19-17 vote
Wednesday night. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill.
and the committee's chairman questioned the
timing of this one.
Rostenkowski raised the possibility that a ma
jority of the committee would vote against the bill
on the floor. "It's not unusual for members to
vote something out (of committee that) the lead
ership wants but ultimately, on the floor of the
House of Representatives, they make their own
decision," he said.
Under the proposal, the federal gas tax, now
14.1 cents a gallon, would rise to 19.1 cents Jan. 1.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House agreed Thursday to boost
spending on nuclear weapons
production and to start 15 new
water projects expected to cost
taxpayers up to $300 million.
The bill also includes $484 mil
lion for the superconducting su
per collider physics research pro
ject in Texas.
The House approved and sent
back to the Senate a $21.9 billion
appropriations bill for the En
ergy Department, the govern
ment's dam builders and several
smaller agencies with most of
the funds senators added to it
last month.
About $12 billion will go to op
erating the nation's nuclear
weapons-building complex in
fiscal 1992 and cleaning up some
of the radioactive wastes it has
accumulated over the past four
decades.
The Senate added about $220
million — much of it centered in
the home state of Appropria
tions Committee member Sen.
Pete Domenici, R-N.M. — to the
$8 billion the Bush administra
tion had sought and the House
had approved for atomic weap
ons research and production.
But as part of a deal negotiated
earlier this week by House and
Senate appropriators, the com
promise also includes the restor
ation of $50 million of the $118
million the Senate had cut from a
$3.7 billion account for cleanup
and treatment of wastes asso
ciated with the weapons produc
tion.
Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ill., failed
on a 338-80 vote to knock out of
the compromise 15 new water
projects put into the bill by the
Senate and expected to even
tually cost taxpayers between
$296 and $310 million.
"We simply have to start prio
ritizing," Burton said. "We're
headed for a fiscal calamity in
this country. We cannot spend
for everything in sight as we
have done in the past."
The $484 million allocated for
the super collider is $50 million
less than President Bush re
quested, but enough to get con
struction under way next year.
apartment
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Three
officers who allowed a naked
boy to stay with Jeffrey Dahmer
were in his apartment two
months before dismembered
body parts were found there, po
lice union officials said Thurs
day.
At the time, photos of pre
vious victims were strewn on the
floor and Dahmer has since said
a body was in an adjoining
room, a newspaper reported
Thursday.
Union spokeswoman Laurie
Eggert said the officers saw no
evidence to suggest anything
was wrong.
Also Thursday, authorities re
leased a tape recording of the of
ficers' conversations on police
radio.
"Intoxicated Asian, naked
male," one officer said, with
laughter audible, "was returned
to his sober boyfriend."
"My partner is going to get
deloused at the station," the offi
cer said, with more laughter.
Later, one woman called po
lice back and spoke to one of the
officers who had investigated
her complaint, insisting that the
naked man was a boy. The offi
cers told her "it's a boyfriend-
boyfriend thing."
The union spokeswoman said
the officers found no evidence
the boy was bleeding and that
paramedics called to the scene
determined he did not require
treatment, before officers took
Dahmer and the boy back to the
apartment for further investiga
tion.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Environmental Protection
Agency released a draft plan
Thursday to attack pollution on
the Southwest border, where
raw sewage and industrial
wastes threaten precious water
supplies and noxious fumes
from burning tires and decrepit
cars foul the air.
The plan will be the subject of
hearings in September along the
border as the EPA and its Mexi
can counterpart, SEDUE, de
velop a strategy to clean up and
protect the borderlands environ
ment.
The plan is in addition to a re
view of environmental issues,
including border pollution, be
ing conducted by the U.S. Trade
Representative's Office as part of
negotiations for a free trade
agreement with Mexico.
Rapid industrial and popula
tion growth on the border has
left thousands of people living in
makeshift housing without run
ning water or sewage systems.
Environmentalists complain the
expanding maquiladora indus
try, which has drawn people to
the region, has also contami
nated the land, air and water
with toxic discharges.
More industry and commerce
along the border is expected un
der a free trade agreement, and
some lawmakers and environ
mentalists fear the growth could
exacerbate the region's serious
pollution problems.
Three consumer and environ
mental groups filed suit Thurs
day in federal court seeking to
force the U.S. Trade Representa
tive's office to conduct an envi
ronmental impact statement on
how the free trade agreement
would affect public health,
safety and the environment.
