( Controversy surrounds collider report Agency inquires into leak of document Cc THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - The Energy Department's inspector general is investigating how a preliminary report critical of contracting prac tices at tl\e super collider was leaked to the media. The draft was circulated to re porters by the Project on Govern ment Oversight just two days be fore the House voted overwhelm ingly last week to ax the $10 bil lion atom smasher. Collider backers were outraged by the leak of the report, which figured prominently in the debate before the House voted 280-150 to terminate collider funding. Sup porters remain hopeful the Senate will ride to the rescue later this summer. Gov. Ann Richards was in town Monday and Tuesday lobbying on behalf of the embat tled project. The non-profit government watchdog group's director, who was questioned Monday by two investigators with the inspector general's office, said Tuesday she was "outraged'' by the probe. "I found that whole experience so offensive," said Danielle Brian, whose organization works with government whistleblowers to ex pose what it considers waste and fraud in government spending. But Rep. Martin Frost, who last week denounced the release of the report, said he welcomed the in vestigation. "I think they are dishonest and sleazy the people who leaked the report," said Frost, D-Dallas, whose district includes much of the collider. "This was a draft re port. It was not final and it could well be changed in the course of the review of the report." "It was intentionally leaked at that time to injure the project without opportunity for people to respond adequately." Brian denied her organization manipulated the timing of the draft's release, saying it was hand ed out to reporters soon after it was received. During what Brian termed a surprise visit, the two investiga tors quizzed her about who leaked the report. They also asked if the draft had been faxed and if they could see the copy — pre sumably to observe whether there was a fax imprint at the top show ing who issued it, she said. "I told them to go to hell, essentially," she said. Rob Jacques, a spokesman for the inspector general, confirmed an inquiry was in progress. "We're inquiring into a failure of the process. We're not trying to nail some particular individual," he said, calling the probe self-initi ated. "We're interested in the process and fixing it." Brian said she was told the in vestigation was requested by the staff of Sen. Bennett Johnston, La., a leading collider propone; Spokesmen for Johnston immediately return telepho: calls Tuesday. Congressional critics of theci lider were reluctant to comme on the probe. "It's tough to say it is a blatant political attempt shut people up when we know what the true policy of DOE is with regard to whist! blowing," said one congressk® aide, speaking on condition anonymity. Jacques said the inquiries infrequent, because leaks ofpif liminary reports are rare. "Fort nately, we don't have that mac reports that have unauthorizedR leases at this early stage. Infac this is the first one that's hap pened in some time." The draft, stamped "tentatic findings" on each of its 34 is being circulated within theft ergy Department for commea Jacques said. Americans kill at least 2 in Somalia THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOGADISHU, Somalia — American helicopter gunships opened fire on a Somali crowd Monday, killing at least two Somalis, after a Pakistani soldier died in a sniper attack. It was the latest in a string of clashes between U.N. troops and Somalis since the United Nations at tacked power bases of warlord Mohamed Farrah Ai- did earlier this month. As darkness fell, a Cobra heli copter circled the area and U.N. troops were still on the ground. Pakistani troops had been searching for weapons in a building when they came under sniper fire, said Maj. David Stockwell, spokesman for the U.N. force in Somalia. One was killed and two were seriously wounded. U.S. troops called to provide air cover fired 20mm machine guns into an armed crowd, killing two So malis, Stockwell said. Somalis carrying away a woman's body accused U.S. forces of killing her, and some of them threat ened journalists at the scene. It was not clear if the body was one of the two Somalis that Stockwell re ported killed. A photographer from the French news agency Agence France Presse was held up by a man with an AK-47 rifle, who pointed it at him and took his camera. About 300 people gathered Monday for an anti- United Nations protest at a intersection several miles away that has become a regular rally site. Signs at the peaceful gathering accused the United States and United Nations of genocide, and a leaflet claimed U.N. intervention was an American ploy to colonize Somalia and replace Islam with Christianity. Earlier, U.S. troops tried to remove squatters from a building they believe has become a base for fre quent attacks on the nearby U.N. compound. The refugees in the building refused to leave. Tensions between foreign soldiers and Somalis have built since 24 Pakistanis were killed June 5 in two ambushes that the United Nations blames on Ai- did. The U.N. attacks on Aidid targets were launched several days later, but Aidid remains at large, despite a U.N. order to arrest him. U.S. AIDS director urges needle exchange THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - The new federal AIDS coordinator said Tuesday she supports needle ex changes for drug addicts as a way of fighting the disease, but she stopped short of urging condom distribution in schools. She said she will coordinate all govern ment AIDS programs with a staff of five. Kristine Gebbie, who was ap pointed by President Clinton last week after others turned the post down, said she's been given "clear authority to work across the Cabinet" on federal efforts to deal with the epidemic. She made the rounds of the TV talk shows Tuesday morning and said in an interview carried on the Fox network that "I can't work miracles." Later in that same interview, she said her staff will be "very small — four or five people at maximum." Gebbie said that didn't bother her because her job "isn't about building bureaucracy." Still, by federal standards that's a tiny staff. She told her interviewers that she hopes to focus the govern ment's efforts by getting different parts of the bureaucracy talking to each other. "A lot of people within agen cies are concerned about our fail ures to be truly coordinated and to move as aggressively as we should have," she said. In two of those areas, education and needle exchanges, Gebbie indi cated that the government planned to take a more liberal approach. "They do work in some com munities," she said of needle ex changes, the providing of clean needles to drug users to slow the spread of AIDS by contaminated needles. "We're looking forward to a major review of needle ex change programs due out in a very short period of time." "Anybody who is sexually ac tive should have ready access to means of protection, which in cludes condoms," Gebbie said. Whether to give them out in schools is a local decision, she said. "They're not an expensive prod uct and they're available over the counter lots of places," she said. "So who should hand them out is not the heart of the dialogue." Rap music could provoke murder, music expert says THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN — An expert on how music affects behavior testified Tuesday in the cap! tal murder trial of a Houston man that hard-driving music known as "gangsta rap” could have prompted the de fendant to shoot a state troop er in 1992. Joe Steussy, the director of music at the University of Texas at San Antonio, testified as a defense witness in the punishment phase of Ronald Ray Howard's trial. "It would certainly affect his mind-set," Steussy said ; adding that the rap music "seems hypnotic" because of its strong beat and repetitive lyrics. Defense attorneys claim Howard was driven to shoot Department of Public Safety Trooper Bill Davidson in April 1992 by the intense, anti-police rap music he was listening to when the trooper pulled him over near Victoria. Steussy said the music "would certainly increase the likelihood that he would take action." "We respond, out of all musical elements, (most) to rhythm and volume," Steussy said. "Rap music is based pri marily on rhythm." Howard, 19, who has con fessed to the crime several times, says he shot Davidson in the neck at dose range, in part, because he felt he was being pulled over for no reason.
