World leaders discuss economy, Bosnia
Industrial nations condemn Iraq, Iran
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — After scoring a first-
day accord on free trade, leaders
of the world's seven richest indus
trial countries tried but failed
Wednesday night to come up with
new approaches to end the blood
shed in Bosnia.
While the conflict in the former
Yugoslavia defied solution. Presi
dent Clinton and the other leaders
did reach agreement on a sharply
worded declaration to be issued
Thursday morning that will brand
Iran and Iraq for defying interna
tional standards of conduct.
That document, officials said,
would condemn Iran, Iraq and
Libya, lend tepid support to be
sieged Muslims in Bosnia and
call for restructuring the U.N. Se
curity Council.
Clinton and the other summit
leaders pronounced themselves
extremely satisfied with the open
ing day of the 19th annual eco
nomic summit, which began with
a breakthrough agreement on
world trade talks and ended with
a working dinner where they
turned from economics to the po
litical troubles facing the world.
The summit, attended by the
leaders of the United States,
Japan, Germany, Britain, France,
Canada and Italy, will wrap up on
Friday with a joint statement on
the economy and discussions with
Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
"I'm having a good time,"
Clinton said in the midst of a
whirlwind of activity.
He received a standing ovation
from students at a prestigious
Japanese university even though
he told them they were being vic
timized by their government's
high trade barriers.
He also waded into crowds
along the street to shake hands and
paid a surprise visit to the U.S.
briefing room to hail a last-minute
breakthrough on trade which oc
curred just before the summit's for
mal opening ceremonies.
"While there are difficult ne
gotiations ahead, today's agree
ment breaks the logjam on the
Uruguay Round," Clinton said,
referring to the seven-year nego
tiating effort by 114 nations to
lower trade barriers.
The hope is that the package of
tariff cuts will breathe new life
into the negotiations and allow
them to be completed by the end
of the year.
There was less progress on a
second trade front, an effort by the
administration to reach agreement
on a framework agreement that
would commit Japan to opening its
markets to American goods as a
way of shrinking America's huge
$50 billion deficit with that country.
Officials said those talks would
resume on Thursday and they
hoped a deal could still be reached
by the summit's conclusion.
However, a senior U.S. Treasury
official told reporters Wednesday
night that the administration
would wait to negotiate with the
new Japanese government if neces
sary rather than complete an unsat
isfactory agreement with Prime
Minister Kiichi Miyazawa.
Miyazawa, who is facing elec
tions in less than two weeks and is
widely viewed as a lame duck,
even appeared happy to forget
about his domestic troubles and
bask for perhaps the last time in
the international spotlight.
He acted the genial host, chat
ting with each of the arriving
leaders before ushering them into
the palace's Hall of Birds and
Flowers for the summit talks.
On Bosnia, briefers said the
summit leaders would retreat from
the veiled threat leveled last year
to use force in the former Yugoslav
republic. A senior Clinton adminis
tration official, who talked on con
dition that his name not be used,
suggested that might have raised
false hopes for the Muslims.

The Mississippi River sprawled 7 miles outside its banks Wednes
day north of St. Louis, rushing through a breached levee to inundate
thousands of acres of farmland and lapping at the top of levees protect
ing West Alton, Mo.
Still more waves of thunderstorms pummeled the region with heavy
rain, and federal officials estimated crop damage alone across the up
per Midwest would be about $1 billion.
In Davenport, Iowa, residents watched in vain for the Mississippi to
crest and begin draining out of their city. The river, fed by heavy rain,
rose above flood stage on June 11 to start the worst flooding since 1965.
River officials said it should crest Thursday.
In Illinois, most of Pontoosuc was under water and few people were
left in town, officials said. And the Illinois and Mississippi rivers com
bined to flood Grafton — the city operated a boat shuttle service to the
only major road out.
Some 7 inches of rain overnight flooded streets in Jefferson City, Mo.
Rain also helped collapse part of a bridge in Nebraska and flooded out
residents along Iowa's Des Moines and Iowa rivers.
Flooding on the Mississippi and its tributaries throughout the Mid
west has been blamed for 15 deaths and billions of dollars in damage to
property and crops. In Washington, federal officials pledged compre
hensive assistance for the Midwest.
Hundreds of National Guardsmen were on duty in Iowa, Illinois
and Missouri to help with sandbagging and evacuations, and Illinois
also had mobilized 400 state prison inmates to help.
Some 500 people already had been evacuated from West Alton, after
the National Weather Service decided the river would crest 2 feet high
er than first thought and volunteers gave up sandbagging levees pro
tecting the town. As many as 1,500 people in and around the town
were expected to be affected.
"We laid all these sandbags, and we thought we had done good,"
said Jim Runyons, a volunteer from nearby Wood River, Ill. "It just
about breaks your heart."

Dirks said that not many stu

In all, 159 students have been

June.
Both the health center and the

The BVCAA has not been con

Hurricane ravages Mexico;
14,000 abandon their homes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — Hurricane Calvin hit the Mex
ican mainland near this resort city Wednesday after leaving a trail
of flooding and destruction up the Pacific Coast.
At least 28 people were reported killed since Monday by winds,
floods and storm-related rains and that have fallen from the Yu
catan Peninsula to Gulf of California. More than 14,000 people were
forced from their homes.
Docks and airports closed as the hurricane moved slowly north
ward past posh resorts, oil ports and fishing villages. Coconut
palms and other trees fell. Dozens of seaside cottages, thatched roof
restaurants and fishermen's huts were tom off their foundations or
washed away.
Calvin hit Manzanillo, a city of 93,000, with winds of 85 mph,
then sliced inland through sparsely populated countryside, toward
Puerto Vallarta, said the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Coral
Gables, Fla. By mid-afternoon, the storm was 35 miles south of the
Puerto Vallarta, a city of 95,000.
It path would carry it back over the open sea, toward the Gulf of
California. Mexican officials declared a hurricane watch for south
ern Baja California, 300 miles to the northwest of the storm.
There were no immediate reports of deaths in the Manzanillo-
Puerto Vallarta region, but phones and power were out in much of
the area, many roads were blocked and there was extensive flood
ing, said Marcelino Rojo of the Civil Protection Agency for Jalisco
State, which includes Puerto Vallarta.
"There is damage ... but we can't say how much there is because
of the lack of communication," he said, adding there were reports
of water waist-deep in some towns.
Officials in Colima state, which includes Manzanillo, said late in
the morning that they had not received any reports of deaths but that
the storm had knocked out electricity and destroyed some shacks.
"The trees are moving almost in a circle," Manzanillo resident
Virginia Cepeda reported by telephone as the storm's edge
crossed the city.
In a news release, Colima state officials said several thousand
people had been evacuated. Notimex and other Mexican news orga
nizations reported more than 14,000 people were evacuated or dri
ven from their homes earlier farther south.
The storm began hitting southern Mexico late Monday and by*
Tuesday morning, its winds had gained hurricane force of more
than 75 mph. Outlying clouds spread rain across much of Mexico.
The government's Notimex news agency said Tuesday evening
that 28 people had been killed in weather-related incidents. That in
cluded traffic accidents on rainy roads in the central state of San
Luis Potosi, some 250 miles from the Pacific Coast, as well as
drownings in flooded rivers or along the coast.
The deaths included three people who drowned off Acapulco on
Tuesday, civil defense officials said. The storm flooded many neigh
borhoods in Acapulco, leaving water waist-deep in places.
About 25 miles north of Acapulco, in Pie de Ja Cuesta, pounding
waves tore houses, huts and a pink stucco hotel into surf Tuesday.
All that was left of one two-story house was a swimming pool a few
feet from the sea.

economic well-being of affected communities," he said.
But the Endangered Species Coalition said the Studds bill allows fi
nancial incentives and technical assistance for private landowners to
conserve and promote the recovery of animals and plants which are
listed or candidate species for endangerment.
Van Kerrebrook said the Studds bill does not mean there will be no
economic benefits because of "ecotourism"- tourism based on the envi
ronment.
"Costa Rica has enormous tourism," she said. "Recreation is one of
the top three industries in Texas, and the only one of the three growing
right now."
In addition to financial incentives, the Studds bill also includes the
formulation of integrated, multispecies recovery plans.
Fields said the survival of endangered species does not mean that
the environment cannot be used. He said the species can be taken and
bred in captivity.
Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club said the loss of a
species can have tragic consequences on the environment. The Sierra
Club used the marsh birds as an example. If marsh birds become en
dangered, it would signal that the wetlands, which are vital for control
ling floods and purifying drinking water are endangered as well.
Supporters of both reauthorization bills are encouraging citizens to
write their legislators about their views on the ESA reauthorization.
