WASHINGTON — More prisoners likely will be
put to death in the United States this year than in
any year since states were allowed to resume capital
punishment in 1976.
The execution of a Texas murderer Tuesday
raised this year's total to 25, tying the previous high
set in 1987.
Texas death row inmate James Demouchette was
killed by lethal injection Tuesday for two 1976
murders in Houston. His was the 10th execution in
Texas this year.
More than 2,600 men and women are on death
rows across the nation; dozens of them have
executions scheduled in the remaining three months
of 1992. Many are likely to win postponements,
however.
Leigh Dingerson of the National Coalition to
Abolish the Death Penalty predicted a growing
number of executions in future years.
"More death row prisoners are exhausting their
appeals, and it's also very clear there's a new mood
in federal and state courts that is much less tolerant
of death row appeals," she said.
Those factors will cause "a slight rise in the yearly
totals," Dingerson said, adding, "I don't believe
there will be any sudden release of the floodgates.
There are many complex factors that go into the pace
of executions."
.ns
The Supreme Court in 1972 ruled thatcapit |
punishment as then practiced was uneonstitution Wedm
States subsequently passed new laws and in 19
court ruled that the death penalty could, i
certain guidelines, be constitutional.
Demouchette's execution was the 182nd sincellt
ruling.

U.S. service
men were left
behind when
the war in
Southeast Asia
ended two
decades ago.
Two people
who made
such sugges
tions Monday
were Kissinger's colleagues from
the Nixon administration — de
fense secretaries James R.
Schlesinger and Melvin Laird.
The former secretary of state
and national security adviser ac
knowledged that even as he nego
tiated peace with the North Viet
namese, he recognized they had
not provided an adequate ac
counting for missing Americans.
"I think it's improbable any are
alive today," Kissinger said. "I
have always kept open the possi
bility in my mind there were
some in Laos."
Kissinger testified a day after
other former Nixon officials, in
cluding Schlesinger and Laird,
said they believed some American
prisoners were still in Vietnam or
Laos after the withdrawal of U.S.
troops and the 1973 release of
more than 591 prisoners of war.
The former defense secretaries cit
ed reliable reports of more POWs
than were released.
Kissinger
"If we had known, if we had
heard this, we would have acted
on it," Kissinger said.
He bitterly disputed sugges
tions "that when President Nixon
announced that all prisoners were
on the way home, he or his aides
knew that many were left be
hind."
"The allegation is a flat-out lie,"
Kissinger said, blaming the asser
tions on "leaks that could only

Republican education policyisto
allow parents to choose tht
schools they send their children
to, Quayle said.
Another agenda item Quayle
attacked Clinton on was healtl
care reform. The future of tilt
U.S. health care plan has been
seen by many political analysts
as the fulcrum of the election
year see-saw. The current plan
has been mired in continuous
controversy and labeled ineffeo
tive, and partial to middle-to up'
per-class Americans.
"By the year 2000 ... the aver
age family will be spending
$12,000 a year on health insur
ance," Quayle said.
The average cost of healthcare
is increasing at a rate twice that
of the average inflation rate
which has left 34 million Ameri
cans without adequate health
care.
The Republican agenda in
cludes lowering health care costs
by passing medical malpractice
legislation limiting rewardslo
plaintiffs in malpractice suits.
"We want to make sure every
American has health insurance,
and we want to do it through ta<
credits and vouchers, andnota
national ration health care plan."
The Republican plan also
would grant tax credits to em
ployers who provide health care
for their employees, and would
allow unemployed Americansac-
cess to quality, affordable health
care.
"There is no doubt in my
mind that Texas is for Georg!
Bush."
