The Battalion WISE MO/E To place an ad, phone 845-0569 The Associated Press WASHINGTON — America's 32 million elderly would get major new prescription drug benefits un der Medicare for about $8 a month as part of Presi dent Clinton's health reforms, the White House has told advocates for seniors. The White House blueprint also will feature long term care benefits for both the aged and young peo ple with serious disabilities, emphasizing home -and community-based care instead of institutions. White House officials say seniors will be given the same prescription drug coverage as everybody else under the Clinton proposal, with a $250 annual de ductible and 20 percent co payments. John Rother, legislative director for the American Association of Retired Per sons, said Monday that Clinton aides told him the drug benefits will be worth $32 to $35 a month on av erage per senior citizen. Seniors will be asked to bear 25 percent of those costs in the form of higher monthly Medicare Part B premiums Pollack said the benefits will go to people who have trouble with at least three of five essential daily activities: getting out of bed, dressing, washing, us ing the toilet and eating. The services could include help with cooking and cleaning, not just medical care, he said. Medicare is going to "be under a lot of cost con tainment pressure" under the Clinton health plan, said Rother. But "it looks right now like a worth while tradeoff." "The key question is, is there system-wide cost containment or is it just from Medicare and Medic aid?" said Rother. "If it were just Medicare and Medicaid, we'd be jumping through the roof." Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said, "Clearly the presi- dent has identified that the IVednesd, Sor Fie] WO] I very the /gies "Right now, a lot of seniors are forced to choose between filling prescriptions and paying for food and other necessities." major gaps for seniors are 1 on Kyle 1 the crushing costs of long-1 two thing sure to pen.

In addition, they would have to meet the $250 de ductible and pay 20 percent of the cost of each pre scription. "Right now, a lot of seniors are forced to choose between filling prescriptions and paying for food and other necessities," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA Foundation, another advo cacy group. An administration official said the elderly would be asked to pay 20 percent of the costs of the long term care benefits on a sliding scale. Those benefits will be phased in over five years, with states getting grants to furnish the services. Rother said he was told the long-term benefits would be worth $80 a month and would cost the el derly roughly $20 a month. The emphasis will be on services in the home, adult day care centers and other community facilities to help people retain their independence. term care and the enor mous drug bills they face.

Law could give blacks some control of Africa The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Negotiators agreed Tuesday on a draft law that would give blacks a role in running the country for the first time in South Africa's history. The bill would set up a Transitional Executive Council, a multi party body that would assume joint control of some functions with the white-minority government even before multiracial elections in April. It would include members from Nelson Mandela's African National Congress and other black groups. ANC National Chairman Thabo Mbeki said Tuesday night that approval of the transitional council by Parliament would allow the ANC to call for all remaining international economic sanctions to be lifted. He said such an announcement was likely by the end of the month. The draft law would severely inhibit President F.W. de Klerk's power to act independently, requiring him to consult with the tran sitional council on security matters and any major changes to laws. The draft law and three others approved by negotiators now go to Parliament, which convenes a special session next week. Approval is expected because de Klerk's governing National Party supports the plan and controls the dominant white chamber of Parliament. The panel would comprise members of all groups that have tak en part at any time in the multiparty negotiations that began in De cember 1991. It would consist of a main council and seven subcom mittees in such areas as law and order, finance, foreign affairs and the status of women. Some groups opposed the measure Tuesday or have boycotted the talks altogether. ANC Secretary-General Cyril Ramaphosa, the group's chief ne gotiator, called opposition to the transitional council "inconsequen tial" and said, "It won't stop us." Pro-apartheid whites and some conservative leaders of black homelands oppose a transitional council and election. They fear domination by the ANC, the nation's leading black group, in a post-apartheid government and want guarantees of autonomous homelands where they can govern themselves. The right-wing Conservative Party and Zulu leader Mango- suthu Buthelezi, head of the Inkatha Freedom Party, have warned of civil war if the plans for a transitional council and election pro ceed.

For more information contact: Daniel Petershagen 696-3271 Brett Shirk 696-8660 He plans to take the same mes sage to the White House on Wednesday, when he is sched uled to meet President Clinton and Secretary of State Warren Christopher. The beleaguered leader of Bosnia's Muslim-led government wants a peace plan that he rejecfl ed in Geneva last week modified, so Muslims can have secure a® cess to a port on the Adriatic Sea, now controlled by Croats. Izetbegovic is also seeking an other step to get a better deal: moving the talks to New York so the Security Council can provide more direct guidance to interna tional mediators Thorvald Stoltenberg and Lord Owen. The negotiations among Bosnia's Muslims, Serbs and Croats broke down last week when Serbs and Croats refused to give the Muslims 4 percent more land. Izetbegovic believes that land is necessary to make the shrunken territory his government controls economically viable. Bosnian Serbs began grabbing territory after Bosnia's majority Muslims and Serbs voted to se cede from Serb-dominated Yu goslavia last year. In a partition plan proposed during the talks, Bosnian Mus lims, who comprised 43 percent of the prewar population, were to get 31 percent of the divided country, Serbs 52 percent and Croats 17 percent. Izetbegovic blamed mediator Thorvald Stoltenberg for not de fending principles set out in the U.N. Charter and Security Coun cil resolutions and for rewarding ethnic cleansing, in which one side ousts people belonging to an other faction from their land. I Human rights monitors saj Bosnian Serbs have used ethni( cleansing the most during th< war. ■'The Security Council shoull ask Mr. Stoltenberg to explaj this," Izetbegovic told the member nations, according tc text released afterward. He also asked the council to a deadline for removing Seri heavy artillery besieging Saraji the Bosnian capital, and to re a threat of air strikes, which never been launched. Speaking to reporters, Bosnian president declare| readiness to resume the talks unconditionally. ^hbietoqmiijyini
