uarantees for the grain sales. He said Russia had
ept up its payments in accordance with the provi
sions of U.S. law.
Baker and Yeltsin agreed on a series of measures
help Russia dismantle its nuclear weapons and
rovide work for the scientists who built the nuclear
eapons of the Cold War. The measures would use
he $400 million appropriated by Congress last year
o help destroy the former Soviet nuclear might.
The center for scientific projects, in which Ger-
any would also take part, would serve as a clear-
ghouse for civilian projects for the scientists. Baker
announced.
The United States will encourage the U.S. private
sector and other countries to provide money, he
added.
The United States has agreed, in principle, to pro
vide money for building a storage depot for the plu
tonium removed from the dismantled weapons, a se
nior administration official said. Baker and Yeltsin
agreed to set up a joint working group to discuss de
tails of such a facility, including its site, the official
said.
Yeltsin said the United States also agreed to pro
vide money to build a facility for the destruction of
the former Soviet chemical weapons arsenal.

"... If I could give my life right
now to bring their loved ones
back, I would do it."
"Jeffrey Dahmer has erased a
million future memories for me of
my brother," J.W. Smith, brother
of victim Eddie Smith, said as he
read brief statements from each of
Eddie's 12 brothers and sisters.
"Jeffrey Dahmer, you have be
come a hero for a few, but you
have become a nightmare for so
ley M
uncle of victim Ernest Miller. "Did
you ever think this was someone's
son?"
Dahmer's three-week sanity tri
al included testimony from police
and psychiatrists who described
how the serial killer's urges to
have sex with the dead led him to
drug, kill and dismember.
Witnesses told how Dahmer
cooked and ate a heart, bicep and
thigh; how he slit corpses from
sternum to toe and cut the flesh
into fist-sized pieces; and how he
soaked torsos in acid and kept
skulls and other parts as memen
tos.
Dahmer said he would not con
test civil lawsuits some victims'
families have filed against him,
seeking any profits he might make
by selling his life story.
"If there is ever any money, I
want it to go to the victims' fami
lies," he said.
Adoption agencies cite positive results from new methods

[they have today, Brieg said the ordeal

[with.
"For all I knew, they never found a
[home for my baby," she said. "I absolute
ly believe the services DePelchin offers
now would have helped me, and that the
jopener adoptions of today are much
j healthier.
"I just wanted to know if I made the
j right choice," Brieg said. "The not know-
; is what's unbearable."
Other agencies in Texas have embraced
the concept of openness more vigorously.
Dorothy Baker, executive director of
the Texas Cradle Society in San Antonio,
said her agency made the move toward
openness in 1985, and has had very posi
tive response.
No preset level of contact between the
birth mother, and the adoptive parents is
mandated by the agency. Baker said. Each
party is free to negotiate and determine
the amount of contact and information ex
change to their own satisfaction, although
the agency provides a counselor to serve
as intermediary.
"All information exchanged is by mu
tual agreement," Barkley said. "The birth
mother can choose among several
prospective parents, and get to know
them pretty well.
"Some people are initially hesitant
about sharing information at first, but
most will agree openness and honesty is
the best way to go," she said. "People find
they can deal with the known. It's the un
known that causes trouble."
Pam Perkins of Methodist Mission
Home of San Antonio, a birth mother her
self, strongly supports the growing open
ness in the adoption, especially the prac
tice of allowing the birth mother to get to
know the couple who will raise her child
as their own.
"Would you place your child with a
babysitter you didn't know?" she said.
A decision having such a far-reaching
effect on a baby's future must be consid
ered carefully, and the more information
available, the better, Perkins said.
"The potential parents are placed in
'The Book' with biographical information,
along with all the other applicants, and
the birth mother is able to select who she
wants the baby to live with," Perkins said.
"The birth mother even makes the call to
the parents, so they can begin developing
a relationship immediately.
"There's a strong bond that develops
between the birth mother and the adop
tive parents —it's almost mystical," she
said. "Many times the adoptive parents
are at the birth, with the adoptive mother
even going so far as to coach the birth
mother through labor. Bonding between
the baby and the adoptive parents begins
immediately at birth."
