Foster gains GOP vote as surgeon gener;
Q The former medical
school dean explains
his views on abortion
counseling.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bene
fiting from his high-stakes hear
ings, Henry Foster gained
ground Wednesday in a struggle
for confirmation as surgeon gen
eral. Democrats warned of retal
iation if Republicans block a
vote by the full Senate.
Sen. James Jeffords of Ver
mont became the first Republi
can on the Labor and Human
Resources Committee to de
clare his support for Foster,
saying the 61-year-old obstetri
cian had done a “superb job in
taking care of the lingering,
critical issues” in his two days
in the witness chair.
An advocate of sexual absti
nence for teen-agers, Foster of
fered a glimpse of his physician’s
style when asked how he would
counsel a young, unmarried
woman who came to his office
with an unwanted pregnancy.
“I say you have a dilemma by
your own definition. ... I say,
there are only three rational
things that you can do: You can
have the baby and keep it, you
can have the baby and put it up
for adoption, or you can have an
abortion,” said.
“But which of those you choose
has to be based on your own un
derpinnings, your moral values,
your support system, your minis
ter. They have to make you —
help you make this very difficult
choice,” he said, adding he would
refer the woman for counseling
with a social worker.
A former medical school dean,
Foster renewed the central points
of Tuesday’s testimony. He reaf
firmed that he had performed 39
abortions in four decades as a
doctor; that he heeded ethics
standards of the time when he
performed sterilization operations
on four retarded women; that he
didn’t know about a federal pro
gram that left men untreated for
syphilis in Tuskegee, Ala., until it
became public knowledge in 1972.
That last issue, raised by Sen.
Dan Coats, R-Ind., provoked a
heated response. “Under oath,
incorrect, wrong, wrong, wrong,
sir,” Foster said of such allega
tions, his voice rising for empha
sis as he denied any prior knowl
edge. To underscore his point, he
lifted his right hand as if in
court, swearing to tell the truth.
Jeffords’ announcement left
supporters searching for one
more vote to guarantee commit
tee approval on a panel with
nine Republicans and seven
Democrats.
Uncommitted Republican Bill
Frist, showed sympathy for Fos
ter in both days of hearings. A
physician and fellow Tennessean,
Frist stepped in supportingly

tions relating to abortion.

Bombing investigation hits connections, dead ent
Q The search by the FBI for an
swers continues despite setbacks.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Two weeks af
ter a bomb shattered downtown Oklahoma
City, the investigation has yielded one steely
suspect who’s keeping his mouth shut, a cast
of odd characters, several dead ends and
plenty of questions.
With thousands of tips still to be followed
up on, a federal grand jury has begun sorting
through evidence in the secret confines of Tin
ker Air Force Base outside Oklahoma City.
While there have been frustrations in the
past few days, those knowledgeable about
major investigations say the public shouldn’t
conclude the case has bogged down.
“The time that has passed since this inci
dent is merely days. There’s no reason the
government shouldn’t take another couple of
weeks to gather all the evidence before mak
ing a final charging decision,” said a former
federal prosecutor who insisted on anonymi
ty because of current involvement in a gov
ernment case.
There have been initial successes: the ar
rest of Timothy McVeigh, a rich harvest of
evidence linking him to the bombing, and
connections to James and Terry Nichols, two
Michigan brothers now in custody who
shared his penchant for bomb-making and
anti-government rhetoric.
There have also been high-profile failures.
Most notable: the dramatic arrest and subse
quent midnight release of Gary Alan Land
and Robert Jacks, two drifters whose travels
seemed to connect them to McVeigh.
Despite the release of the pair, the FBI is
still checking their movements. On Wednes
day, two agents interviewed the manager of
Gene’s Motel in Marshall, Mo., where Land
"Anybody connected with this
bombing, [the FBI] is question
ing them, they're checking
them out."
— Robert Jacks, former suspect
and Jacks reportedly stayed last month.
“Their names came up,” said the motel
manager, Louise Henricks. “I’m not com
menting on what they asked about.”
Federal officials say such interviews are
part of the process of sorting through 14,000
tips received on a special hot line since the
government posted a $2 million reward.
“Sometimes they turn out to be hot, some
times they turn out to be cold, and that was
the problem yesterday,” White House Chief
of Staff Leon Panetta said Wednesday on
CBS. “But, frankly, the investigation cc:
ues at an aggressive pace and we’rec
dent that ultimately we’ll catch the culp'
Even Jacks approves.
“The FBI is doing their job the way
should,” he said. “Anybody connected
