President Bush views
hurricane aftermath
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOMESTEAD — People still
awaiting help more than a week
after Hurricane Andrew shattered
their lives greeted President Bush
with cheers and jeers Tuesday as
officials spoke cautiously about
aid efforts taking hold.
"I think we've turned the
corner as far as getting food and
clothing to the people/' Barbara
Gothard, a spokeswoman for
Homestead city officials, said.
"Now we'll address shelter and
new housing."
Meanwhile, state officials
sharply lowered their estimate of
the number of homes destroyed,
from 85,000 down to about 10,000
or less.
Bush flew to southern Florida
for the second time in a week
with a pledge that the federal
government would pay 100
percent of most recovery costs
and rebuild Homestead Air Force
Base, which contributes $190
million annually to the local
economy.
"This has nothing to do with
partisanship. It has everything to
do with helping the families,"
Bush said outside Homestead
City Hall. State leaders welcomed
the news.
"We're delighted," Gov.
Lawton Chiles said. Republican
Sen. Connie Mack called it "the
greatest news this community
could have."
But Bush got mixed reviews
from hurricane victims. A half-
dozen young women heckled him
as he left.
"I have no lights, cold water,
it's disgusting," said Lizzie
Hawkins, 28, who lost her
apartment to the storm. "He
didn't do nothing."
But Gerardo Paz of Homestead
shouted: "We appreciate what
you're doing, Mr. President. Keep
it up."
Bush left without
acknowledging either boos or
cheers. Frustration has run high
among residents who feel the
government was sluggish and
inefficient in the days after the
hurricane swept across the region
on Aug. 24, in what could be the
nation's costliest natural disaster.
Although military personnel
worked through Monday night
and Tuesday morning erecting
three tent cities, officials said it
could be Wednesday before
people would be allowed to move
in. Mud and rock slowed efforts
to drive tent stakes.
The Army's chief of staff, Gen.
Gordon Sullivan, said at the
Pentagon that he may put up to
25,000 federal and National
Guard troops in the area. Sullivan
said he'd ordered military
personnel to help residents find
relief supplies, substitute housing
and meet basic needs of sewage,
power and debris removal.
There was disagreement
among various agencies on the
estimated number of houses
destroyed. The Red Cross initially
estimated 85,000 were damaged
or destroyed; the governor at one
point gave that as the number of
houses destroyed.
Tom Herndon, Chiles' chief of
staff, said Tuesday that 6,000 to
10,000 homes are now estimated
destroyed; an estimated 25,000
suffered major damage and not
all of them may be repairable; and
an additional 45,000 to 50,000
have damage that can be
repaired.
Dade County officials insisted
Tuesday that an estimated 63,000
were destroyed. Herndon said the
number of destroyed houses was
going down as homeowners
reassess damage and decide to
make repairs.

Compaq introduces printer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK— Compaq Computer Corp. un
veiled its first printers Monday, saying they are the
fastest on the market.
The laser printers are designed to be connected
to networks of personal computers, allowing the PC
users to share the same machine.
"It's a major new business we're getting into,"
said Eckhard Pfeiffer, president of Compaq, which
until now has made only personal computers and
related gear. "Compaq is today no longer a one-
product company."
Compaq said one of its printers, the Pagemarq
20, produces 20 pages per minute. The machine is
twice as fast on average as Hewlett-Packard Co.'s
LaserJet IHSi printer when used in PostScript appli
cations, Compaq said. ^
PostScript is the popular software from Adobe
con» ; mi
Systems Inc. that allows printers to reproduce pal
of computerized, text.
Pfeiffer said it could take many months fo|
competitive response from Hewlett-Packard, ‘
leading maker of laser printers. He said Com
also is working on other printers, including stain 1
alone models designed for single PCs.
Compaq designed the circuit boards that
the printers, while Fuji Xerox, a Japanese affiliate
Xerox Corp., makes the printer "engine," or'
heart of the device. The printers are assembled
Compaq by Xerox.
The Pagemarq 20 carries a list price of
while the second model, the Pagemarq 15, rtht
produces 15 pages a minute, lists for $3,999.
Pfeiffer became president and chief executive
Houston-based Compaq in October after the coi*
pany's board pushed out co-founder Rod Canic
who apparently opposed the low-price PC stratC
the company has since pursued.
