astronauts looked forward to coming home

The agreement also requires Haitian army
ief Philippe Biamby to give up his authority,
ficials said. Though not required to leave Haiti,
edras and Biamby were expected to do so.
Police chief Michel Francois is “no longer a
(layer in this agreement,” one official said, indi-
iting his post would simply disappear.
Clinton said that Aristide — ousted in Sep-
iember 1991 — had promised “no vengeance, no
liolence, no retribution.”
“This is a time for peace,” Clinton said.
“This is a good agreement for the United
tates and Haiti,” he declared.
Aristide spokesman Jean Claude Martineau
Ixpressed qualified optimism: “It seems that we
Bre coming out of a long, long dark night. Let’s
amber at the A.P.EM 0 p e that we expect will happen, will happen,”
: Re said in a brief telephone interview.
I Cedras has reneged on earlier agreements to
|lepart, most recently Oct. 30, 1993.
Talks between Carter, Powell and Nunn and
began on Saturday after Clinton had
lelegraphed his intention to invade Haiti and
Overthrow the military leaders if necessary. Ge
ras led the coup which ousted Aristide from of-
ice in September 1991.
Late Sunday afternoon, Clinton dispatched
ational Security Advisor Tony Lake and Haiti
nvoy William Gray to brief Aristide on negotia-
ions with the men who deposed him.
It took evidence that U.S. planes were en
oute before Cedras would agree to give up pow-
r, Clinton said. He said 61 planes with Army
2nd Airborne paratroopers were actually air-
orne at the time. They were recalled to Fort
“It’s pretty fatiguing up here. I think a lot
of us are looking forward to getting home,
getting a good shower and some good old
Earthbound things we enjoy,” Discovery’s pi
lot, L. Blaine Hammond Jr., said Sunday.
On the other hand, Hammond said he and
his crewmates wouldn’t mind spending an
other day in orbit “because it’s an opportuni
ty so rare.” They’ve been aloft since Sept. 9.
The astronauts achieved everything they
set out to do. They released and retrieved a
sun-gazing satellite, measured the damaging
effects of their own steering jet exhaust on
space structures, and helped direct laser
pulses at Earth for an atmospheric study.
And — most spectacularly — they tested
a new jet pack during a rare untethered
spacewalk.
Astronaut Mark Lee described the space-
walk as a once-in-a-lifetime “special treat.”
He became the first human satellite in 10
years Friday when he disconnected his life
line and used the jet pack to drift over the
open cargo bay.

Defense Secretary William Perry and Gen.
John Shalikashvili were at the White House with
Clinton when the accord was reached, working
on the details of the peaceful insertion of U.S.
troops to maintain order in Haiti.
The Pentagon’s invasion plans had called for
paratroopers to drop into Haiti as part of the
leading edge of the assault.
The troops “will go in the daytime,” a senior
officer said.
An invasion could have brought American ca
sualties, U.S. military leaders warned, and Clin
ton was under political pressure to avoid combat.
Clinton began his day in church, bowing his
head as a prayer was said for American troops,
and the commander in chief who might have to
send them in harm’s way. The Rev. J. Phillip
Wogaman said Clinton is burdened by “awesome
and sometimes very lonely responsibilities.”
He returned to the White House and spent the
rest of the day in the Oval Office with his senior
foreign policy advisers, including Secretary of
State Warren Christopher, Perry, Shalikashvili
and Vice President A1 Gore.
Clinton kept in continuous contact with the
diplomatic team, which also included retired
Gen. Colin Powell and Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga.
The trio, dispatched Saturday, met repeatedly
with Haitian military rulers, including Cedras
who was installed as the nation’s military leader
after a coup that threw Aristide out of power.
Perry said U.S. forces were ready to invade if
the talks had failed, or secure peace if the mili
tary leaders agree to leave.
As some 20 warships and a force of 20,000
troops awaited the president’s final order to
move, Perry described a three-phased military
maneuver that could be adjusted depending on
the outcome of Carter’s talks.
Day Care
Continued from Page 1
Senate’s executive committee,
said the Senate’s proposal for
on-campus care offers a sliding
pay scale plan as well as several
locations on campus.
“Most large universities in
the U.S. have on-campus child
care facilities, Mazzullo said.
“We are many years behind on
this.”
Dr. Karen Watson, assistant
dean of engineering and co-chair
of the Faculty Senate’s Status of
Women Committee, said the
lack of on-campus day care af
fects the quality of life for A&M
students and faculty.
“There are many faculty
members and graduate students
that don’t have nearby families
to help them care for their chil
dren when they leave town or
spend long hours researching,”
Watson said. “Some of them end
up leaving because of problems
as small and correctable as this.”
Watson said that former Uni
versity administrators have not
been willing to look at the possi
bility of on-campus day care fa
cilities.
“We’ve been saying there is a
need for years, but President
Bowen is the first to really lis
ten,” Watson said.

Restaurants
Continued from Page 1
Pat Ferreri, owner of Ferreri’s
restaurant and former president
of the Bryan-College Station
restaurant board, said increasing
the number of restaurants in the
area is not a good idea.
“We have already have too
many,” Ferreri said. “Our area
needs businesses that will pro
mote jobs for people — not
restaurants.
“Factories, mercantile and
manufacturers would promote
jobs and help our community,” he
said. “New restaurants are just
hurting established business
owners.”
Ferreri said the competition
that new restaurants promote is
hard on the family operations
that don’t have the money to cut
comers.
“When a new restaurant
comes to town people always go
to try it out, and this has a nega
tive economic effect on the cur
rent businesses,” he said.
Dr. Thomas Saving, a Texas
A&M distinguished professor
and director of the Private Enter
prise Research Center, said new
restaurants may not force other

restaurants to lower prices.
“It all relates to the restauran
t’s increasing its volume — this
is what lowers the prices,” Sav
ing said. “If more people go out
to eat, then the restaurants can
lower their prices.
“I’m not saying that they
won’t at all, just maybe not
enough to make a difference,” he
said.
Saving said more restaurants
don’t necessarily mean more
jobs.
“Restaurants need a certain
number of clients to allow them
to increase the number of wait
ers,” he said.
