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.
