" Early Tuesday, eight more chil dren and two elderly women were released from the com- pound. Then about 8 p.m., several buses and minivans left. Margaret Lawson, 75, and Catherine Mattson, 77, were charged with conspiracy to mur der federal agents, a possible capi tal offense, U.S. Attorney Ron Ed- erer said. There was no indication of the type of injuries. In pre-dawn conversations Monday with Dallas radio station KRLD, Koresh had said he would surrender if his message could be heard. "We made an agreement with ATE agents that they would allow me to have national coverage of this tape that I might give to the world all my . . . information that I have tried so hard to share with people, that if I would do this that all the people here at the facility here, at the compound, will give ourselves over to the world, give ourselves out to you, this is what I promised, this is what I am going to keep," Koresh said. Debate investigates religious views Continued from Page 1 and response portion of the debate begins. Swanson and Lemoine have developed an understanding of each other while planning the debate, and Swanson said he does not expect the debate to become heated. "We have respect for each other as team captains," Swanson said. "Either side realizes a debate that becomes heated becomes irrational." Swanson said his belief in God is based on rational conclusions. "If you say there's no God, then you have no rules to live by," Swan son said. "It's important for me to have a life that has a purpose in it." Audience opinions will be recorded before and after the debate. In dex cards will be distributed to members of the audience so they can write down their opinions on the subject before the debate, and then compare how they feel after the debate's conclusion. After the debate, the two debate teams will answer audience ques tions. While Swanson said he will try to understand the opposition's argu ments, he also plans to show the audience that his views are correct. "Our purpose is to get people to think there really is a God," he said. "A Christian perspective is most consistent, and it is a view of people worldwide. "There are going to be people who are in the middle of this issue," he said. "They're coming with an open mind. They're coming searching for what is true." Lemoine said he expects the debate to be a discussion instead of per suasion for or against a certain viewpoint. "I don't expect anyone who came to the debate a Christian to go out an Atheist," he said. Lemoine said he hopes to clarify the beliefs of Atheists and Agnos tics. "One of our main goals is to let people know what we believe," Lemoine said. "We're getting a little tired of these questions about Atheism, like 'do you worship the devil?"' he said. "That's just ridicu lous." sQ World News Briefs Economic plan gains no support WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton broke bread with Republicans Tuesday in a political gesture that won no new support for his economic plan but produced talk of cooperation on overhauling the nation's health care system. "We want to be players in health care reform," said Sen. Bob Dole, the Senate minority leader. Clinton conferred first with House Republicans, then lunched with their Senate counterparts. "I don't think he gained any votes," and he won't so long as major tax increases remain in the plan, said Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho. White House spokesman George Stephanopoulos said Clinton "was very encouraged by the groundwork that was laid today." Still, he acknowledged, disagreements are inevitable "and you can't wish those away." Yeltsin rallies reform support MOSCOW (AP) President Boris Yeltsin mustered his political allies Tuesday before a showdown with Russia's hard-line Congress, and said he was willing to take "extreme steps" to save his reforms. Yeltsin solemnly told a gathering of about 80 Lawmakers and members of reformist factions in his second lobbying appearance this week that "the democrats alone cannot pull out this heavy cart." He urged supporters to forge ties with other political groups before the next Congress of People's Deputies, the nation's highest legislative body. The session probably will open March 10. he said. Mexico readies city for cholera CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Health officials in this border city are gearing up cholera prevention efforts again after a local woman was diagnosed with a suspected case of the potentially lethal disease. Hospitals have been advised to notify the Federal Health Department of any patient who may have cholera. The facilities also are stocking up on rehydrating salts and other medicines used to treat it. Water Board employees have resumed adding chlorine, which is said to kill the cholera bacteria, to the drinking water supply. A ublic information campaign as also been reinstated. The precautions follow the recent detection of a "highly probable" case of cholera, the city's first in 1993. One case was detected in Juarez last ear. The latest victim, who as not been identified by authorities, has been treated and released. Juan Cos Welch, director of the Federal Health Department in Ciudad Juarez, said he suspects the woman contracted the disease by eating infected seafood. Aggie Ring Orders i. 2. 4. CLAYTON W.
