get some treatment,” Swensen
said.
Dr. Michael Attas, a cardiolo
gist, said Hollingsworth was in
stable condition getting treated for
a heart condition she has had 30
years and for high blood pressure.
Attas would not say whether
her condition was connected to
the 22-day-old standoff. He said
she arrived at the hospital with
her heart medicine.
Hollingsworth told authorities
she is from Great Britain,
Richards and Ottman said they
are from Canada, and Riddle said
she is a U.S. citizen. Nationalities
were not available for Martin,
Santoyo and Lawten.
About midday a school bus
was seen moving into the com
pound area, and a short time later
a bus left the area with one pas
senger it it. Federal authorities
could not immediately say
whether that was yet another cult
member leaving the compound.
Buses have come in and out of
the cult's compound during the
standoff.
FBI officials have said for sev
eral days there are about 30 peo
ple who are close to leaving the
compound.
Branch Davidian leader David
Koresh and his followers have
been holed up inside the Mount
Carmel compound since a Feb. 28
shootout between cult members
and agents with the federal Bu
reau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms.
Four agents were killed and 16
were wounded. At least two and
possible 10 cult members were
killed.
Eddie D. McTwohats performs his song “I am for
Peace” along highway 340 near Waco. He wrote
the song to try to convince cult leader David
Swensen said the FBI is con
vinced the armed standoff will
end peacefully, and he noted there
has been no violence since the gun
battles of the first day.
"There hasn't been one shot
fired. There hasn't been one per
son injured. There hasn't been one
person killed,” Swensen said.
"There's no indication that some
one wants to change that. There's
no indication that they want to
push it to the brink."
On Friday night. Brad Branch,
34, and Kevin Whitecliff, 31, left
the compound as negotiators car
ried on a lengthy conversation
with Koresh.
Branch and Whitecliff were be
ing held in the McLennan County
Jail as material witnesses. They
were the first to leave the com
pound in a week, since Kathy
Schroeder and Oliver Gyarfas
came out March 12.
All the adults released so far
are considered material witnesses,

O'Connor said he has stayed in
touch with the University system
and its students.
"I'm confident I have a basic
thumb on the pulse of A&M and
hope I can bring a positive contri

with the System and its students,"
he said.

Vaughan normally works pa

was in plain clothes while filling

have not been able to determine
why the man fired at the officer.
"He (the suspect) has never re
