Shalikashvili
says he didn't

WASHINGTON - President
Clinton's choice for chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff denied
Wednesday he had withheld
knowledge that in World War II his
father had served the Nazi cause
with the notorious Waffen SS.
In an emotional moment dur
ing an otherwise routine confir
mation hearing, Gen. John M. Sha
likashvili told the Senate Armed
Services Committee he had been
deeply disturbed by speculation
that he had hidden knowledge of
the SS connection, which came to
light shortly after Clinton nomi
nated him last month.
"I did not withhold this infor
mation, for I never had the slight
est hint that my father was associ
ated with the Waffen SS,” the
four-star Army general said.
"I'm deeply saddened that my
father had this tragic association,''
he said.
The SS connection seemed un
likely to pose a roadblock to Sha-
likashvili's confirmation. Some
committee members warmly
praised the general for his han
dling of the issue; most, including
the chairman. Sen. Sam Nunn,
didn't even mention it.
"I see clear sailing” for the
nomination, Nunn said at the
hearing's conclusion. The Georgia
Democrat cautioned, though, that
the committee might not act on
the nomination until the White
House proposed a replacement
for Shalikashvili as NATO's
Supreme Allied Commander Eu
rope and commander of U.S.
forces in Europe.
Nunn cited the political turmoil

in Moscow and continuing uncer
tainty in Bosnia as reasons to en
sure a smooth handover of com
mand authority within NATO.
Shalikashvili is to replace Gen.
Colin Powell as chairman of the
Joint Chiefs on Oct. 1. Nunn
raised the possibility that Powell's
top deputy, Adm. David Jeremi
ah, might be asked to take over
the chairmanship "for a few
days” if a replacement for Sha
likashvili has not been nominated
by month's end.
"Can we afford to lose you" on
the European scene with no re
placement in sight? Nunn asked.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff is the senior mili
tary adviser to the president, the
National Security Council and the
defense secretary.
Crash
Continued from Page 1
Harry Raisor, director of avia
tion for Easterwood Airport, said
the exercise went as planned,
and gave emergency units in the
area the chance to work together
on a major incident.
"It gives each entity of the
community in the emergency plan
the opportunity to exercise their
units," Raisor said. "It's a great
community effort."
The students from Bryan High
School who were the 'victims' of
the crash felt the emergency per
sonnel took too much time to at
tend to their 'wounds.' Emily
Gerst, a teacher in charge of the
Health Occupations classes at
Bryan High School, said, "They
(the students) don't understand
why it's taking so long, but in a
real emergency it would take
longer than this. I purposefully
did not prepare them for every
thing. I wanted them to experi
ence it first."
The student victims said they
enjoyed the afternoon despite the
effects of the make-up and heat.
Michael Collins, a junior from
Bryan High School, said, "I love
this, but as soon as it is over. I'm
going to have to get home and
take a bath."
Youth
Continued from Page 1
Rohack explained his concern
that the young educated people
in the country will not only pay
for the health care of the elderly,
but also the medical expenses of
the high school dropouts who
don't have jobs.
"If you put the cost of care on
the youth, but still have a large
portion of young people who
are dropouts and not educated
and who don't have jobs, then it
is those who get in the work
force who will pick up the tab,"
Rohack said.
Clinton's new system will be
employment based — that is,
employees will pay 80 percent
of the costs and workers will
pay 20 percent.
The poor and unemployed
will be covered by government
subsidies.
U.S. Rep. Jack Fields, R-Hum-
ble, said Wednesday night that
he fears the financial burden
that could be placed on small
businesses if the president's
plan passes Congress.
"We need to start with the
ability of small businesses to
pool so that they can drive
down the costs of health insur
ance," he said.
Clinton addressed the con
cerns of small business in his
speech. He said one-third of
small businesses covering em
ployees will have to drop their
insurance if costs continue to
skyrocket.
He suggested groups of small
businesses and consumers be
given the same insurance ad
vantages as large corporations.
"Unless everybody is cov
ered, we will never be able to
fully put the breaks on health
care inflation," Clinton said.
Local concerns about the
president's $700 billion plan
came from Rohack, who said he
is unclear how to fund the
$40,000 medical education at
A&M and other schools around
the country. Although Clinton
is considering a one percent pre
mium surcharge on businesses
to help support medical re
search and teaching hospitals,
Rohack said there is no incen
tive for research. He said peo
ple may be forced into speciality
choices they do not want.
"When you look at the
changes the plan proposes, there
are a lot of great things plus
some not so great things, but
there are gray areas that I am
still concerned about," he said.

IN SUSAN'S FIRST FEW YEARS, SHE WAS AUDITING MULTIMILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES,
BUT FOCUSING ON SOME MUCH SMALLER FIGURES.
Susan Gallagher made two important discoveries during her first
three years at Arthur Andersen. One was her talent for Litigation
Consulting, which she provides for a wide variety of clients through our
Specialty Consulting division. Her second discovery came after work. It
was the joy of helping children.
Over the years, Susan has volunteered wi th the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Chicago. Working to help children comes naturally to Susan, because it's the
smaller figures in life that are really the most important.
Arthur Andersen is an equal opportunity employer.
