Senators approved the measure on a 84-10 vote. House-Senate negotiators will now try to write a compromise bill, which Senate Appro priations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., said could be done as early as this week. "Kauai is a scene of unimaginable devasta tion," said Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, refer ring to a weekend trip he made to the island that bore the brunt of the Iniki's destruction. "Whenever you see a coconut tree and its leaves stripped, you know that its winds were strong." Earlier, the lawmakers used voice votes to make two major changes in the measure. They added a final $3 billion to address Iniki's toll and the growing pleas for help from areas bat tered by Andrew. And they inserted an extra $66 million to rebuild small parts of Home stead Air Force Base, far less than President Bush wanted. Eager to show they can respond to emergen cies, lawmakers and Bush seemed likely to work out their differences quickly. But the bill's immediate future was clouded because it included an unrelated provision on labor regu lations that drew veto threats from Bush ad ministration officials. The $10.5 billion measure would be easily the biggest federal relief package ever for a natural disaster, dwarfing the $2.9 billion ap proved in 1990 for California's Loma Prieta earthquake. It would also further swell the fed eral deficit. The original $7.5 billion hurricane bill, com pleted last Thursday, was rendered moot a day later when Iniki slammed Hawaii with 160 mph winds and 30-foot waves. Iniki left three dead, 8,000 homeless and caused an estimated $1 billion in damage. Estimates of Andrew's damages continued to swell. "This is one time I think this place is moving too quickly," said Sen. Connie Mack, R-Fla. "We keep getting information." Andrew, the costliest natural disaster to ever hit the United States, is so far blamed for 55 deaths and nearly $22 billion in damage. The storm left more than 250,000 homeless. Mack and other Florida officials won more aid for their state, but less than they initially hoped. On a voice vote, the Senate accepted an amendment by Mack and Sen. Bob Graham, D- Fla., that would provide $66 million to rebuild some of the facilities at destroyed Homestead Air Force Base. The money would allow enough reconstruc tion to let the U.S. Customs Service and other agencies that use the base to resume function ing. But no money was provided for work that would allow a fighter wing to return to the air base. An additional $26 million to remove rubble and begin planning for possible reconstruction was already in the measure, bringing the total for Homestead to $92 million. Official expects Russian unemployment to rise thf A<;<;orT atfd prfc;*; and throwing millions out of Former Exxon guard gives guilty plea in kidnapping THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MORRISTOWN, N.J. - A former Exxon security officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to state kidnapping and murder charges in the fatal abduction of company executive Sidney J. Reso. Arthur D. Seale's plea came one week after he admitted in federal court that he planned and carried out the April 29 kidnapping and accidentally shot Reso during the abduction. Reso died four days later. ■ Seale faced a maximum sen tence of life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 30 years, fines up to $2 million and $20,000 in restitution on the state charges. He also faces a maximum penalty of 95 years when he is sentenced on federal charges. "Arthur Seale wanted to plead guilty from the very be ginning, after being assured that the state would not seek the death penalty," defense lawyer Joseph O'Neill said out side court. He said Seale wants to write a letter to Reso's wid ow "to explain what hap pened" and convey "his re morse to her." Attorney Rudy Westmore land, representing Seale in civil matters, said television net works and others have ex pressed interest in his story. And O'Neill said: "He wants the world to know that he is not a monster." Both U.S. Attorney Michael Chertoff and Morris County Prosecutor W. Michael Murphy said they would move to seize Seale's assets and any earnings he might get from selling his story, to apply toward fines and restitution to Reso's family. Answering a series of ques tions from Superior Court Judge Reginald Stanton, Seale acknowledged that he and his wife, Irene, grabbed Reso from the driveway of his Morris Township home. Asked if he shot Reso, Seale said his gun "accidentally discharged." Seale quietly answered "yes" as the judge asked him whether he took Reso to a storage locker and left him in a wooden box with his eyes and mouth taped shut. Asked if Reso was given any medical attention, Seale said, "He was treated by my wife and myself." MOSCOW — Russian unem ployment could jump nearly 20- fold to more than 5 million people next year as cuts in subsidies dri ve more businesses into bank ruptcy, a senior official said in re marks published Tuesday. Farmers picketed in cities across Russia on Tuesday, protesting that reforms have dri ven up the prices they must pay at a faster rate than prices they re ceive for their produce. Inflation has skyrocketed since President Boris Yeltsin accelerat ed reform by freeing prices last January. So far his government has balked at cutting subsidies to unprofitable state-owned busi nesses for fear of sinking them Fight Continued from Page 1 night should never have been put in the position of having to tackle A&M students in the first place," Michaels said. Koldus agreed that the Corps should not have to restrain stu dents. He plans to meet with leaders from the Corps, fraterni ties and other student organiza tions to ensure Friday's episode does not happen again. Wiatt said student leaders must step forward and encourage others not to run onto Kyle Field during yell practice. "Each student leader has a fol lowing that looks to him as the designated leader," he said. "(That leader) has to pass the word down that we are not going to do this. This is a dangerous be havior." Should university police help cadets guard the field during yell practice to avoid future violence? Yeltsin vowed last week to fight hyperinflation by slashing subsidies. A wide-scale privatiza tion program he promised to launch Oct. 1 is expected to cause bankruptcies and social hardship. Economics Minister Andrei Nechayev said the number of people needing work next year could rise to about 7 million peo ple, or 8 percent of the work force. Nechayev, quoted in the gov ernment's Rossiskiye Vesti (Russ ian News), said about 5 million of the 7 million would be officially 'jobless/ of which about 4.7 mil lion will receive unemployment relief. "I guess that's not one of their primary functions," Darling said. "We would welcome their assis tance, but I don't think we can ex pect them to solve all of our prob lems." Wiatt said, "If the student lead ers cannot adequately protect people and request university po lice, we will seal off the field and do whatever is necessary to pro tect life and limb." Currently, University and Col lege Station police jointly patrol the outside of Kyle Field to limit the flow of alcohol into the stadi um and to cite students for minor in possession and public intoxica tion. Besides preserving tradition and avoiding violence, students should stay off Kyle Field to limit wear-and-tear of the field, Koldus said. "The concern for the athletic department is that they don't want a lot of people messing up the field," he said. "When you get a large crowd you can damage it in all sorts of ways." Cancer Continued from Page 4 Davis said that there are seven warning signs to check if a”person has cancer. The signs include: •a change in bowel or bladder habits • a sore that does not heal • unusual bleeding or discharge •a thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere •indigestion or difficulty in swallowing •obvious change in wart or mole •nagging cough or hoarseness If you or anyone you know has any or all of these signs, they should see a physician, Davis said. Over the years, cancer survival rates have improved. Today, one out of two persons survive cancer at least five years after treatment, compared with one in five surviv ing the disease sixty years ago. Victims of cancer or their rela tives can call 1-800-ACS-2345 to learn more about the disease. EXPERIENCE THE WORLD WITH A JORDAN INSTITUTE FELLOWSHIP!
