If convicted of transmitting
classified information to a for

maximum penalty of 10 years in
prison. But prosecutors were
contemplating bringing espi
onage charges that could carry a
life sentence, said a law enforce
ment source who spoke only on
condition of anonymity.
White House Press Secretary
Mike McCurry tried to play
down the potential interna
tional implications of the ar
rest, saying U.S.-South Korean
relations “are strong and of the
nature that they can endure
any alleged wrongdoing by an
individual.”
State Department
spokesman Glyn Davies said the
senior South Korean diplomat
in Washington was summoned
to the department Wednesday
and was told the United States
“is very disturbed at this devel
opment.”
The South Korean Embassy
said it would have no immedi
ate comment.
Kim, a Seoul native, be
came a U.S. citizen in 1974.
He began working for the Of
fice of Naval Intelligence in
1978 and gained a “Top Se
cret” security clearance a year
later, court papers said.
He worked on a computer
system that gave him access to
top-secret documents generat
ed by other U.S. intelligence
gathering agencies, the affi
davit said. The Pentagon
official said the system also in
cluded information considered
“above top secret.”
“Kim regularly searches the
system to find classified docu
ments relating to military, politi
cal and intelligence matters in
the Asia-Pacific region,” the affi
davit stated. “Kim copies and
stores these documents in his
work computer, removes classi
fication markings, prints them
on his office printer, and trans
mits them to Back Dong-II.”
The Pentagon official said an
assessment to determine the
damage done by Kim won’t be
completed until investigators
review materials seized from his
home, which FBI agents raided
late Tuesday night.
Frasier’ stars checks into Betty Ford

The statement said “Frasier,” which re
cently won the Emmy for top comedy series,
will resume its fourth season production in
October — but did not say whether Crammer
would be included.
A show spokeswoman declined to elabo
rate on the type of treatment or the expected
length of Crammer’s stay at the Rancho Mi
rage clinic, which has treated such celebrities
as Elizabeth Taylor and Don Johnson.
Typically, a stay lasts between 25 and 32
days, center spokesman John Boop said. Cen
ter policy does not allow Boop to comment
on individual cases.
Other television shows have had to deal
with an actor’s substance abuse, perhaps the
most publicized being Mackenzie Phillips,
who was dropped from "One Day at a Time”
in 1980 because of her cocaine addiction.
She kicked the habit and returned in the
fall of 1981. Her absence was explained by
having her character marry and move away.
More recently, Howard Rollins’ drug use re
peatedly got him into legal trouble and he
was eventually written out of "In the Heat of
the Night.” Carl Weathers was brought in to
co-star with Carroll O’Connor.
"Frasier” is a consistent ratings winner for
NBC and its season premier last week placed
12th in the Nielsen ratings. The show is pro
duced by Grub Street Productions in associa
tion with Paramount Network Television.
Crammer, who had to postpone a trip to
New York and an appearance at the Friars’
Club when he checked into the Ford center,
has had other problems with substance
abuse.
He was taken to court in 1990 for proba
tion violations stemming from a 1987 arrest
for drunken driving and a 1988 arrest for co
caine possession.
Results of a blood alcohol test administered
after Saturday’s accident are still pending.

Illegal immigration
bill goes to Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cracking down on illegal aliens, the House
passed two bills Wednesday — one focusing on law enforcement and the
other letting states deny public school education to illegal alien children.
Only the first had a chance of getting President Clinton’s signature.
The Senate was expected to reject the second bill — passed 254-175
— and Clinton has said he would veto the measure, even though it would
allow currently enrolled illegal aliens to stay in school.
Supporters in the House said the bill would remove an incentive
for foreigners to come here illegally and allow voters to decide
whether they want to bear the expense of educating children who
shouldn’t be in the country.
“This bill says, “Don’t come to America and think the taxpayers of
America are going to take care of you if you’re here illegally,”’ said House
Speaker Rep. Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.
Opponents said it would punish innocent children for the behavior of
“This bill says, ‘Don’t come to
America and think the tax
payers of America are going
to take care of you if you’re
here illegally.’

“This is a foolish piece of legislation,” Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee said.
The far larger bill, which would nearly double the number of border
patrol officers and speed deportation procedures, passed earlier in the
day, 305-123.
“This bill secures America’s borders, penalizes alien smugglers,
expedites the removal of criminal and illegal aliens, prevents illegal
aliens from taking American jobs and ends non-citizens’ abuse of
the welfare system,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, who intro
duced the legislation.
Some Democrats have urged Clinton to veto it as well, saying the leg
islation is too hard on legal immigrants and too soft on unscrupulous
employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens.
The president has asked Republican leaders for some changes, said
White House spokeswoman Kathleen McKiernan. Nonetheless, she
called it “a major step forward.”
“We still would like to see improvements in the provision con
cerning the treatment of legal immigrants and worksite enforce
ment,” she said.
Seventy-six Democrats joined 229 Republicans in approving the bill
and sending it to the Senate, which was expected to vote on it later this
week. Voting against the bill were 117 Democrats, five Republicans and
one independent.
Republicans — who worked for two years to bring the immigration
bill to a final vote — said the bill was Congress’ first serious action
against illegal immigration in years.
“Every three years enough illegal aliens enter tire country permanent
ly to populate a city the size of Boston or Dallas or Sap Franciscp,” Smith
said as the House voted on the measure that was a compromise of sepa
rate bills passed last spring by the House and Senate.
But Democrats called the bill a ruse that does not attack the true caus
es of illegal immigration. Some also suggested that Republicans were us
ing the issue to score points with voters weeks before the election.
“The problem with this bill is that it cons the American people into
thinking major new steps are going to be done,” said Rep. Howard
Berman, D-Calif.
