Senator: POWs may still be alive in Vietnam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZAGREB, Croatia — Bosnia's
leadership relented to foreign
pressure Sunday and decided to
resume peace talks with its ene
mies, but remained opposed to a
plan to carve the country into
three ethnic provinces.
After a six-hour, closed-door
meeting in Zagreb, the seven at
tending members of Bosnia-
Herzegovina's 10-man presiden
cy also said they had made
progress on their own plan for
holding the country together, but
gave no immediate details.
Bosnian Vice President Ejup
Ganic told reporters that a dele
gation would return to peace ne
gotiations in Geneva within 10
days. The decision came a day af
ter European Community nego
tiator Lord David Owen and
United Nations envoy Thorvald
Stoltenberg strongly urged the
Bosnians to attend.
The Geneva talks originally re
volved around a peace plan pro
posed by Owen and Cyrus
Vance, Stoltenberg's predecessor,
under which Bosnia would have
a weak central government and
three semi-autonomous provinces
each of the warring ethnic
groups: Muslims, Serbs and
Croats. The capital of Sarajevo
would be jointly administered.
That plan was rejected by
Bosnian Serbs, but accepted by
Bosnian Croats and the Muslim-
led government.
The new plan, which is en
dorsed by Serbia and Croatia,
calls for splitting the country into
three ethnic regions.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANGKOK, Thailand - A U.S.
senator returning from a trip to
Vietnam to search for traces of
missing American servicemen
said Sunday he is more convinced
some may remain alive.
Sen. Bob Smith, R.-N.H., also
accused the Pentagon of "sloppy”
investigative work and said he
has asked the Justice Department
for a probe.
"We're not doing the job right
and it's my obligation to say that,"
Smith told a news conference.
Earlier, in Hanoi, he thanked the
Vietnamese for their "unprecedent
ed help," but said the trip left cer
tain questions unanswered.
Smith pressed Vietnam for
greater cooperation in resolving the
2,253 cases of U.S. servicemen the
Pentagon says are still missing
from the Vietnam War. Hanoi de
nies any are being held in Vietnam.
Smith and his delegation spent
three days trying to verify reports
of American prisoners sighted after
the war ended in 1975.
The trip produced little con
crete evidence, but the senator, cit
ing "sensitive satellite photos"
taken in 1992, said he came away
more convinced that some U.S.
servicemen were still alive in Viet
nam. He declined to elaborate and
said he may soon make another
trip to Hanoi.
Clinton gives rousing speech in South Korea,
declares United States will keep forces poised
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PANMUNJOM, Korea — President Clinton,
on a dramatic visit to the final frontier of the
Cold War, vowed Sunday to maintain U.S.
military readiness in Asia and warned that
North Korea faced ruin if it developed and
used nuclear weapons.
Clinton wound up a two-day visit to South
Korea with a rousing speech to some 2,500
American troops at Camp Casey near the
perimeter of the tense Demilitarized Zone de
ploring the down-sizing of U.S. troops after
World War II.
He suggested the cuts carried out by Presi
dent Harry Truman invited the North Koreans
to attack in 1950 and declared: "We must nev
er make that mistake again."
The troops of the Second Infantry Division
cheered Clinton's salute. "Your work is vital,"
he told them. Then, amid near pandemonium,
he took up a saxophone and joined an army
band in a hot jazz number.
The day's events were calculated to erase
any lingering impressions that Clinton intend
ed to retract American power now that the So
viet Union is gone and that the former Viet
nam war protester is an indecisive leader.
"There is clearly a line below which we can
not go," he said at Camp Casey. "Our armed
forces must still be able to fight and win on a
moment's notice."
At the "Bridge of No Return" that divides
the two Koreas, Clinton pledged the United
States would "stay strong" in Asia and keep
after North Korea to submit to international
inspection of two suspect fuel storage sites at
the Yongbyon nuclear complex.
U.S. negotiations with North Korea aimed
at keeping the hard-line Communist govern
ment in compliance with the nuclear Non-Pro
liferation Treaty are due to resume in Geneva,
Switzerland, on Wednesday.
"Eventually, we have to hope they will take
the sensible course and that we can then re
sume the thaw that was in place," Clinton said
in an exchange with reporters at Camp Boni-
fas, inside the Demilitarized Zone.
"It is pointless for them to try to develop
nuclear weapons because if they ever use them
it will be the end of their country," he said.
Clinton, standing closer to North Korean ter
ritory than any Western leader has gone, peered
through binoculars at North Koreans peering
back at him from about 50 yards away.

city and presented it to the Texas A&M Board of Regents, which ap
proved the resolution on May 28.
The city's resolution is something different, however. Smith said.
"To be frank, I was not aware of all these other issues until I attend
ed the council workshop because I have not had any discussions with
anybody about this other than that one meeting where the limited dis
cussion was about a fire station west of Wellborn Road."
Mark Skocypec, administrative assistant to the city manager of Col
lege Station, said the city will probably convey the resolution to the
University through Fire Chief William Kennady or the city manager's
office at the beginning of next week.
"That is the first step of this process," Skocypec said. "The Univer
sity will, hopefully, come back with a proposal which will serve as a
starting point for negotiations between the city and the University in
regard to that fire station."
Skocypec said the provisions on the city's resolution were not mini-
mums.
"Most of them are pretty open in terms of what the city will be ex
pecting," he said. "We just want to make sure the University address
es these points in its proposal."

of work performed was not com
mensurate with the amount they
were paid," he said. "I think the
NCAA now is more concerned
with exactly how much work was
performed and how the players
have responded. Their coopera
tion and forthrightness to ques
tions presented by the University
and the NCAA is what's being ex
amined."
Slocum said there has been mi
nor discussion about penalties
that might be imposed by the
NCAA, but right now they are
more concerned with finding out
exactly what happened.
"At some point we will sit
down with the NCAA and dis
cuss degrees of guilt or involve
ment and possible penalties," said
Slocum. "Right now, we're better
off trying to get our facts in a row
before we start drawing conclu
sions."
Chuck Smrt, director of en
forcement for the NCAA, said he
couldn't comment on the matter
and couldn't even confirm that
the University was actually under
investigation.
Slocum said he feels those in
volved with tne inquiry have
tried to be as honest and as open
as possible.
"We are acting with integrity
and are honestly approaching
these problems," he said. "I can't
guarantee there will never be a
problem with the football pro
gram. What I can say is that if
there is, we will diligently search
for the truth and take action. I am
as disappointed as anyone. Our
program will go forward. This is
a trouble spot we will have to
work through."
Mosher
Continued from Page 1
The institute was originally
funded by Ed Mosher, Class of '28,
in 1988. The Mosher family agreed
to provide an annual endowment
of $175,000 for ten years. Vandiver
said after five years the family's as
sets shrunk faster than they expect
ed, and they had to curtail their
commitment to the institute.
"We were suddenly cut off from
our primary funding," Vandiver
said.
He said the University has
stepped up to help the institute,
but because of A&M's budget con
straints, they were unable to fully
support Mosher.
"There was nothing sinister
about this," he said. "We both ran
into financial trouble at the same
time."
Although A&M is not responsi
ble for funding the institute, the
University provides money for per
sonnel salaries and office space.
"We will continue a small
amount of support, but it's not ade
quate to run an institution like
Mosher," Gage said.
Vandiver said while there is no
current source of funding in sight,
he is still hopeful that the institute
will find the money it needs to re
main in operation.
The institute is seeking funds
from both private donors and
companies interested in Mosher's
services.
"We were suddenly thrust upon
on the mercy of everybody," Van
diver said. "We were on the short
end."
Vandiver and Gage both agreed
losing the Mosher Institute would
be tragic for Texas A&M.
"It would be a loss because the
institution has gained a great deal
of media attention for the Universi
ty, Gage said.
According to the Texas A&M
Public Information Office, Mosher
generates more media contacts
than any other entity in the A&M
System except for the Department
of Athletics.
