The Battalion U.S., Britain unite on Bosnia as Clinton begins European tour T"* Mi -DRIEF: lovem □ The President stressed the importance of sending American troops to Bosnia and credited Britain with taking risks for peace. LONDON (AP) — After months of quiet ten sion, President Clinton and Prime Minister John Major swapped support Wednesday for the U.S.- brokered peace treaty in Bosnia and an unexpect ed breakthrough in Northern Ireland. “This time is full of possibility,” Clinton said. Opening a five-day Ruropean trip, Clinton paid a morning call on the British leader at 10 Downing Street, won long applause for a rousing speech to Parliament and with his wife, Hillary, toured Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth and FYince Philip. In honor of the Anglo-American alliance, Clin ton announced that a new American guided mis sile frigate would be named the USS Winston Churchill after Britain’s wartime prime minister. Stressing the importance of sending 20,000 American troops to Bosnia, Clinton said, “We know that if we do not participate in Bosnia our leadership will be questioned and our partnerships will be weakened.” Clinton arrived just hours after Major and Irish Prime Minister John Bruton set aside their differ ences on disarming the IRA in hopes of opening peace talks among all parties in Northern Ireland. Clinton called the accord “a bold step forward for peace” and said he knew it wasn’t easy for Ma jor, sagging at record lows in opinion polls. “Very often, people who take risks for peace are not ap preciated for doing so,” Clinton said. Political lead ers on both sides of the dispute in Northern Ire land criticized the agreement. Northern Ireland has been a sore point between Major and Clinton. Major refused for days to re turn Clinton’s telephone calls after the president granted a visa to Gerry Adams, head of the IRA- aligned Sinn Fein party. Clinton will travel to the Northern Ireland cities of Belfast and Londonderry Thursday to laud the p.eace that has held since terrorists ended a quarter- century of violence 15 months ago. He will be the first American president to visit the province. “With every passing month, more people walk the streets and live their lives safely — people who oth erwise would have been added to the toll of The Troubles,’” Clinton said in his Parliament speech. Outhouse Party tot) held at Olsen Field All students are invited to join University of Texas Outhouse tonight at Olsen Field.

"Very often, people who take risks for peace are not appreciated for doing so." — President Clinton Congress approves overhaul of lobbyingli Britain has been unhappy about Clinton’s poli cy toward Bosnia, particularly his refusal to join London and Paris in sending troops to the former Yugoslavia. European allies resented Washing ton’s frequent calls for using more force in Bosnia when Americans weren’t on the ground there. In a joint news conference with Clinton, Major pointedly noted that British forces “have been there now for something over three years, in num bers ranging up to 8,000 at a time.” He said Britain would contribute 13,000 troops to enforce the peace agreement initialed in Dayton, Ohio. Clinton credited Britain with taking “extraordi nary risks for peace in Bosnia.” Major offered arguments to help Clinton sell Congress and the American public on the need for sending troops to Bosnia. “We can look this morning at a realistic prospect of a real and lasting peace in Bosnia,” Major said. “But it is still a fragile prospect, and we need to make sure that it doesn’t in some fash ion slip away from us.” WASHINGTON (AP) - Sluiii polls that indicate the public still lieves lobbyists have runaway ence in Washington, Congressi Wednesday approved the firsttn haul of lobbying law in half a cent® President Clinton has saidlifi sign the bill that would require lofe to disclose information many would fer to bide: who their clients are, sues they are seeking to influence how much they spend on persu; Congress and the executive branch, "For untold numbers of yearsi American people have justifiably! lieved unseen forces were cans: Congress to make decisions/’!!

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Unis States is granting political asylum: Mexicans in increasing numbers trend immigrant advocates say reflff growing acknowledgement thatlw rights abuses exist in Mexico. "People are feeling a lot freer tocri. cize Mexico," said immigration ate Monica Schurtman of San Antoni: "There's starting to be a recognition is Mexico is a human rights abuser." Federal immigration officialsdai necessarily agree that people beii persecutecf is the reason more poll cal asylum requests from Mexicar are being granted. Correspondent Continued from Page 1 “The pattern of media covera; of NAFTA was to g'o too pci] with the flow,” she said. ‘T partly because of the overwkW ing spin that came out ofWi Street in favor of NAFTA and complexity of the subject.” Most journalists do noth understand the impact of the: stories, she said, unless they! also economics experts. Dr. Margarita Gangotena, speech communications profess® responded to Newman's present! tion with a theory of whytlf United States struggles to c comprehend Mexican issues. “It is the ability of human be ings to give preference, uncon sciously, to what we believe ai value ... to the roles that we consi er appropriate,” Gangotena said. Because people tend to a tribute positive traits to tho: who are similar to themselves she said, Americans are not al ways fair judges of otherna tions’ policies and intentions, “As a nation, the U.S. had a hard time identifying tb Mexican sign posts that a cris: was coming,” she said.
