Friday, September 3,1993 The Battalion Page 14 /Sep Clinton administration attacks Perot book critical of NAFTA j| The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration is wasting little time attacking Ross Perot's new book critical of the proposed North American Free Trade Agreement. U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor called a news conference Thursday to issue a 73-page rebuttal and said the newly-issued book was “riddled with inaccuracies, errors and misleading statements.” “We want to make sure that as we start this criti cal debate for the country that the facts are clear and straight,” Kantor said. The charge against Perot, one of the most vocal opponents of the NAFTA, comes just weeks before the White House makes its full-blown sales pitch to a Congress that is sharply divided over the merits of the pact. Over a 15-year period, NAFTA would phase out most barriers to the free movement of goods, services and investment between the United States, Mexico and Canada. President Clinton is expected to officially present the 2,000-page treaty and accompanying side accords on the environment and labor to lawmakers during a speech Sept. 14, congressional sources said. Congressional hearings on the trade accord, which has been roundly denounced by labor unions and many environmentalists, are planned quickly after it is sent to Capitol Hill. The outcome in Congress remains unclear, said William Daley, who is leading the administration's NAFTA lobbying effort. “I don't think anyone has the votes on either side to have that vote today and feel confident,” he told reporters. Kantor said he was “a lot more optimistic'' about ratification than he was four months ago. "The status quo is unacceptable,” he said. Several prominent Democrats, including House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Whip David Bonior, have voiced serious concerns about the ac cord. But Kantor said the debate "isn't going to be a civil war in the Democratic Party.'' "There will be Democrats for it and Democrats against it just as there will be Republicans for it and against it. But I am confident there will be bipartisan support for NAFTA.” The administration, which has been accused by Republicans of not pushing the trade accord hardLj/m. enough, has turned its attention to rebutting theanti-f NAFTA rhetoric. "We believe because the book is out there and Mr, Perot has become a leading spokesperson against NAFTA ... that he should have to defend his state ments," Kantor said. The Perot camp didn't immediately provide a re- Mr Shot titiz tUU itMY 04-'e *ir- £»« sponse, but spokeswoman Sharon Holman called the administration response "interesting.” I Kantor said Perot's 124-page book, titled "Save Your Job, Save Our Country: Why NAFTA Must Be ftr'ftftJ Stopped — Now," contains 193 misleading state-ft —. ments. Chief among them, he said, is that 5.9 million ~n \ jobs are at risk because of the accord. »—’ | "We believe, and we are confident that this agree-; ment means thousands and thousands of more net Lg jobs to Americans and a growth of our economy, Kantor said. Washington economist Pat Choate, who co-au- 1v ' c ^“ thored the book, said he stood by the book's conclu- n sions and in turn accused Kantor of misleading state- ‘ ,S ™P ments. f! 5 ® ft dim- illprob- Therapist faces molestation charge The Associated Press PLANO — A prominent family therapist who helped found the Mental Health Association of Plano has been charged with mo lesting a 14-year-old male patient in his office eight years ago. Glenn Weimer is charged with indecency with a child. He surrendered Monday at the Plano Police Department and his $20,000 bond was provided im mediately by his attorney, police said. Weimer referred all calls from the media Thursday to his attor ney Donald McDermitt, who was out of town and not available for comment, a receptionist at his of fice said. According to a probable cause affidavit, the incident occurred during a counseling session on ei ther Sept. 21 or Sept. 28, 1985. During the session, Weimer is ac cused of unzipping his pants and the teen-ager's, fondling the boy and forcing him to do likewise. Police said the alleged victim, now 22 and living in Lewisville, waited until recently to tell police. The patient's mother said that after she learned of the incident, she and her husband confronted Weimer at the son's next appoint ment. The mother said in the affidavit that Weimer said he would seek professional help. In April, police received a writ ten complaint from the man and his mother. A police spokesman said they don't know why the young man h,but, [telook did not report the alleged incident ! f before.
