Bush administration urges
continuation of peace talks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is
warning Palestinian Arabs to "get their act together"
and negotiate terms for self-rule with Israel or risk
time running out if the White House changes hands.
"We are not saying, 'You've got to do this or
that,'" a senior administration official said Wednes
day in an interview. "We are saying, 'You've got op
portunities now that you ought to take advantage
of."'
In the current round of peace talks at the State De
partment, steady progress between Israel and Syria
stands in sharp contrast to slow-paced discussions
between Israel and Palestinians over self-rule
arrangements for the West Bank and Gaza.
The Palestinians are demanding a freeze on con
struction of new homes for Jews in the territories and
East Jerusalem.
They also are seeking a commitment from Israel
to withdraw from those areas.
A top Israeli official assured the Palestinians on
Wednesday that Israel means to give them real au
thority to run their lives and does not intend to an
nex the West Bank and Gaza.
"The question is whether the other side will see
that this is a real opportunity that may never re
turn," said Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin.
President Bush could get a big boost if the peace
talks produced an Arab-Israeli agreement. The best
prospect seemed to be Palestinian acceptance of
some version of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Ra
bin's proposal for elections next spring for a Palestin
ian administrative agency. It would give them con
trol of their day-to-day activities on the West Bank
and in Gaza.
The senior U.S. official, who spoke only on condi
tion of anonymity, said the Palestinians "still have a
tendency to raise issues that are more symbolic
real."
He said, Israel and Syria had broken fe
"some psychological barriers" and exchanged!
ten proposals for an agreement to end their ft
old conflict.
"I don't think we are on the brink of an imm;
breakthrough" between Israel and Syria, he
"but there are serious negotiations underway."
Mideast negotiations will proceed whoever!
the W ; hite House, the official said, but "if then
new administration, by definition there is gohj
have to be some hiatus."
The official said, the Arabs "are going to hai
decide what in this administration is knowntofi
and a future one may not be known."
He noted that "Siome Arab groups are more
hurry than the others," and, paradoxically, thePi
tinians feel the greatest pressure to "produces!
thing" soon.
"At this point, they don't seem to be ablets
their act together well enough to put themsefo
that kind or position," he said. "They still havea
dency to raise issues that are more symbolkl
real.'
The administration has told the Palestinians
"every time you raise a symbolic issue, you reda
chance to do something," the official said.''Hi
raeli proposals are likely to be more meaning
you are prepared to focus on the substance inss
of the symbols. That's likely to generate morsi
the standpoint of your interests than anything®
On the Israeli-Syrian front, the chief negolia
reported Wednesday that they were mai:
progress toward security arrangements.
Israel has signaled a willingness to return son
the land in exchange for peace, provided the hi
is secured.
Residents of Lihue
cope with disaster
Federal government to pay for damages
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIHUE, Hawaii— Her legs
were cut from glass shards that
went flying when Hurricane Iniki
tore the roof off her family's
house. Her possessions sat
stacked on the garage floor. But
yiuwehi Huddy was smiling.
"We'll be fine," the 22-year-old
hospital worker said. "As long as
we stick together, we'll be fine."
From the "I'll be back" signs
tacked on roofless businesses, to
drivers courteously waving each
other through broken traffic
lights, many of the estimated
5,500 residents seemed to be tak
ing pride in one resource they had
left: community ties.
"We call it 'ohana,'" said
David Cherrier, who was looking
for groceries Tuesday at a Salva
tion Army Center. Roughly trans
lated, ohana (pronounced oh-
HAH-nah) means "family feel
ing."
"This is one big extended fami
ly," he said.
Not everyone on the hurricane-
shredded Hawaiian island of
Kauai is bearing up under the
pressure of life without electricity
or even a home, of not knowing
when they can bathe. Reports
have emerged of fights in gaso
line lines, of homes being looted,
thefts of a generator and a med
ical-supplies shipment.
Some residents along the north
coast of Kauai, a circular island 30
miles across, were upset over a
lack of information about recov
ery work.
"People feel isolated, unin
formed and angry," said Myles
Ludwig. "There is a great com
munity spirit out there, but peo
ple feel that government has ig
nored them."
Despite the problems, Kauai
Mayor JoAnn Yukimura ( said
great progress is being made con
sidering the hurricane hit just last
Friday.
The White House said Tuesday
that the federal government
would cover the state's costs for
hurricane relief. President Bush
was to sign a waiver for the state
Wednesday, Gov. John Waihee
said. The storm caused an esti
mated $1 billion in damage, he
said.
The Red Cross estimated its
disaster relief will cost $10 mil
lion. It expects to feed 5,000 peo
ple daily for the next month in
shelters that house thousands of
Kauai's 52,000 residents.
Some signs of life as it was be
fore Iniki struck were returning to
Kauai.
Banks reopened to provide
money to cash-starved residents.
Water service has been restored to
70 percent of the island, and
Yukimura said the rest of the is
land might have water by the end
of the week. Telephone service
was restored to two-thirds of the
30,000 customers.
Commercial airline service re
sumed Wednesday, after three
days of emergency flights re
moved nearly every visitor from
the island.
The U.S. Department of Agri
culture has declared Kauai a dis
aster area, opening the way for
farmers to apply for aid. The hur
ricane ruined the island's sugar
and macadamia nut crops.
Waihee signed a supplemental
emergency proclamation declar
ing a freeze on prices of vital con
sumer goods to stop price-goug
ing.
The state Department of Edu
cation said it would open seven
public schools for classes Mon
day.
When the hurricane rolled in,
Huddy and her extended family
of 11 raced around their one-story
house in nearby Kapaa as fierce
winds peeled the roof off room af
ter room.
Finally, they dashed out to
their car and made it across the
road to the shelter of a neighbor's
basement.
When the wind stopped, they
were hard at work, tacking up
plywood around the one room
still covered overhead and mov
ing all their possessions into the
largely intact garage.
The family put its ingenuity to
work. They removed a car head
light and strung it up in the
kitchen, using the car's battery to
power the lamp.
They rigged up a backyard
shower from a curtain and a gar
den hose. The family still had wa
ter, but the bathroom roof had
fallen into the tub.
