Senate approves Clinton's service plan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Congress to hammer out differences
WASHINGTON - A slimmed-
down version of President Clin
ton's plan for students to earn
some college tuition money
through public service work won
Senate approval Tuesday. Negotia
tors now must reconcile it with a
somewhat broader House version.
Initial steps toward resolving
differences already were under
way as negotiators sought to have
a compromise ready for final pas
sage by end of the week, said a
source close to the discussions.
“We're not sure we can do it,
but it appears that all sides are
agreeable to try/' said the source,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
The Senate's 58-41 vote ended a
vigorous partisan dispute that
forced Clinton's original five-year.
$9.5 billion plan to be sharply re
duced. Clinton called senators af
ter the vote to thank them.
The Senate's three-year program
would cost $1.5 billion. The House
approved a three-year arrangement
at an estimated cost of $2.1 billion,
though funding could vary under
the House version.
“The administration is comfort
able with either approach at this
point," said Eli Segal, who directs
Clinton's national service office.
“The differences between the
bills are really quite small," he said,
adding that both were "essentially
identical" to Clinton's plan.
The biggest differences are in
how many students could take part
and how soon. Clinton wanted to
allow 25,000 students in the first
year and 150,000 by the third year.
Clinton

by Democratic moderates who
wanted deeper spending cuts.
Clinton took direct aim at his
Republican opponents, labeling
them anew as “guardians of grid
lock” and saying their alternative
plans had “less deficit reduction
or more pain for ordinary Ameri
cans or both." Those GOP plans
also were roundly defeated in
Congress, Clinton said.
“Now there are only two
choices: our plan or no plan,"
Clinton said.
The overall package calls for
the deficit cuts over five years
through a combination of higher
taxes, mostly on wealthy individ
uals and corporations; and a vari
ety of spending cuts, including
deep cuts in military spending
and in some domestic programs,
including Medicare.
The House is expected to vote
on the plan on Thursday and the
Senate on Friday.

gasoline tax. The gasoline tax
raises less money, but it affects
more money."
Jones and Hazelton agreed that
current gasoline prices are the
lowest in years, and the extra tax
will probably only raise fuel
prices to levels common in the
middle '80's.
"These are the lowest gas
prices I remember in 10 or 12
years," Jones said. "Adding a
few cents to the gallon will maybe
raise them to where they were be
fore. Nobody likes taxes, and I'll
probably gripe about it when I go
to the pumps, but it is fair. It is
not the ideal program, but I as a
citizen will support it without any
hesitation."
Both professors agreed that
the bill would most likely pass
the House and Senate when it
comes up for vote on Thursday
and Friday.
"I believe they are now in a
bargaining game with President
Clinton," Hazelton said. "1 think
he has got the vote in the House.
There are a few senators that are
probably holding out, but I think
he will get the bill through."
Jones said, "t think it will pass
by a very small margin. The re
publicans will hold firm and not
vote for it, but they do not have
enough members to block its pas
sage. Since there really has not
been a coherenP'plan from the oth
er side, I think it will pass."

The Senate version would al
low 20,000 participants in the first
year, 33,000 in the second year
and 47,000 in the third year, as
suming an average annual cost
per participant of $15,000. The
House would allow somewhat
more students than the Senate
during the three years.
The Senate numbers resulted
from its decision to limit spending
to $300 million in the first year of
the program, $500 million in the
second year and $700 million in
the third year.
Other differences were primar
ily structural.
Both House and Senate ver
sions would allow students who
completed two years of commu
nity service work to receive
$4,725 for each year to apply to
ward college tuition. Both the
House and Senate reduced Clin
ton's figure from $5,000 to keep
it lower than the $5,250 military
people can receive under the
longstanding Cl bill.
Both House and Senate would
provide living allowances of at
least $7,400 a year and health-care
and child day-care benefits.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D
Mass., the bill's Senate floor man
ager, said he wanted to seethe
program fully implemented more
quickly but, “this is the legislative
process and compromises have to
be made.
“1 don't think there was any
compromise on the essential is
sues, but just on the pace of the
program," he said told The Asso
ciated Press. “1 think the essence
of the program has been pre
served."

Over 1,100 overseas brats
to hold reunion at D-FW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAPEVINE — It's hard to imagine retired Army Gen. Norman
Schwarzkopf, U.S. Rep. Newt Gingrich, The Doors' Jim Morrison
and actress Priscilla Presley have anything in common.
But the four are products of overseas schooling, an experience
shared by millions of Americans whose military parents were sta
tioned abroad over the past 40-some years.
This weekend at a Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport hotel,
more than 1,100 overseas brats — former children of both military
and diplomatic families — will attend Grand Reunion '93, the
largest reunion ever for all classes and schools in 120 countries.
“What's different for us is that one-third to one-half of those
(stateside) live in a 50-mile radius of where they went to school,"
said Joe Condrill, member of Tehran American School, class of
1973, and founder of Overseas Brats Inc., a San Antonio-based net
work for former military and diplomatic dependents. “Someonein
our situation, that doesn't apply."
The United States — through its state and defense agencies -
have operated high schools from Athens to Paris to Zweibruecken,
complete with football teams, cheerleaders and letter jackets.
“It's like finding your life that you lost," explained Sunny Taylor
Schwentner, a member of Kubasaki High's class of 1962. "When
you said goodbye to all those friends, it was like it was a death, be
cause you knew deep in your heart of hearts you wouldn't see
them again."
This weekend's event evolved out of smaller reunions organized
recently by an almost underground group of overseas school alum
ni, like Mrs. Schwentner of Washington, D.C.
Schwentner, 48, formed the Kubasaki High School students' as
sociation in the late 1980s to locate fellow alumni from the Okinawi
school.
