Government
launches ads
in antirAIDS
campaign
; WASHINGTON (AP) - The
government on Thursday kicked
off a new AIDS education
campaign with a collection of ads
warning that the disease can
strike anyone but saying nothing
about safe sex, condoms or drug
needles.
The campaign was criticized
by groups representing AIDS
victims and trying to help
intravenous drug users. They said
the ads should give information
on how to prevent AIDS, not just

Dr. Louis Sullivan, secretary of
the Department of Health and
Human Services, denied that the
government was steering clear of
controversial subjects, such as
homosexuality.
He said the ads concentrate on
the basic message that anyone can
contract AIDS, and there isn't
room for much else.
"That's a lot of information tc
try to get into a 30-second spot,"
Sullivan said at a news conference
where his department opened its
newest phase in the "America
Responds to AIDS" campaign.
One million Americans are
infected with the AIDS-causing
virus, he said. "Every 13 minutes
another person is infected. If we
are to control this epidemic, every
person must know he or she can
be at risk."
The campaign's message is
that AIDS is not limited to inner-
city drug addicts and
homosexuals.
Ernesto Hinojos, director of
education for the Gay Men's
Health Crisis, said the ads, which
give a phone number to call for
more information, are inadequate,
and besides, his organization
tried to call the number on
Wednesday and couldn't get
through.

Vandals spray acid into 4 women's clinics

DALLAS (AP) — A noxious acid sprayed
into four women's clinics that perform abor
tions temporarily closed the facilities and sent
three people to hospitals with complaints of
nausea, authorities said.
Vandals were suspected in the incidents
| Wednesday at Abortion Advisory Clinic, the
Routh Street Women's Clinic, A to Z Women's
Health Services and A Choice for Women clin
ic.
The Dallas Fire Department used soda ash
to neutralize the butyric acid, which officials
said had been sprayed under clinic doors, and
in at least two cases, applied through holes
drilled in the doors.
Butyric acid is a colorless, stropg-femelling
fatty acid found in rancid butter and perspira
tion, and often is used to produce fragrances
and flavors.
The incidents were reported between 11
a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. No serious in
juries were reported, but three clinic workers
who complained of nausea were treated at two
hospitals and later released.
At three of the clinics, surgeries were can
celed for the day and employees sent home.
Congressmen kited checks
overseas, inspector reports
WASHINGTON (AP) -
House members wrote bad
checks for cash at U.S. embassies
overseas, and State Department
employees had to go after them
to recover the money, the de
partment's inspector general
said Thursday.
"It's been known to happen.
... 1 only know the few that came
to my attention," Inspector Gen
eral Sherman Funk said in a tele
phone interview. "There were a
few congressmen who caused a
problem. We went back to the
congressmen and they paid."
He said there had been no
such problems for "a couple of
years," but declined to say when
the bad checks had been written.
He would not name the law
makers involved.
The lawmakers wrote the
checks on their private bank ac
counts while they were traveling
overseas on fact-finding mis
sions and other official trips.
There was no connection with
the much-publicized House
bank, where members wrote
thousands of overdrafts that
didn't bounce because they were
covered by money from other
lawmakers' accounts.
Funk said the problem had
affected embassies in Europe,
Africa and other areas.
At least one of the bad checks
was cashed at the U.S. Embassy
in New Delhi, India, and it took
State Department employees
around six months to collect
from the lawmaker involved, a
government source said Thurs
day. The source spoke on condi
tion of anonymity.
In the House bank investiga
tion, the ethics committee is
hearing appeals from lawmakers
whose names are on a prelimi
nary list of the 24 most flagrant
abusers of the system.
Senate adds $25 billion to total cost
of savings and loan cleanup project
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Senate voted 52-42 late Thursday
to add $25 billion to the taxpayer
cost of cleaning up the savings
and loan industry.
The bill would provide enough
money to operate the Resolution
Trust Corp. for another year.
It would bring the total taxpay
er cost to $130 billion, still short of
the $160 billion the Bush adminis
tration says is needed to finish the

Only A Choice for Women managed to reopen
later Wednesday. All facilities were operating
Thursday.
"It was childish," said Edi M. Peterson, A
Choice for Women manager, as she and other
employees cleaned up Wednesday afternoon.
"They (vandals) didn't accomplish anything. It
did not affect patient care."
"When it's reported, the general public is
really turned off by these kinds of anti-abor
tion activities," said Barbara Radford, execu
tive director of the National Abortion Federa
tion in Washington.

In addition to providing $25
billion in fresh financing, the bill
would lift a deadline for spending
a previous $25 billion allocation
approved last November. Only
about $8 billion of that has been
