GOP falls short 1 vote on‘Star Wars’—
Senate Republicans fail to push through bill to hurry development of national missile-k
WASHINGTON (AP) — By a sin
gle vote. Senate Republicans failed
Wednesday in their effort to speed
work on a national missile defense
system. The narrow victory for the
Clinton administration came despite
GOP warnings that instability in Rus
sia and missile tests by North Korea
are posing new security risks.
The 59-41 vote was one short of
the 60 needed to overcome Demo
cratic delaying tactics. It was iden
tical to a May 13 roll call.
The legislation would order im
plementation of a national missile
defense system as soon as it is tech
nologically feasible.
A similar version is likely to be
debated in the House later this
month, where it is expected to win
approval. House Speaker Newt
Gingrich reiterated his support for
the bill.
The legislation embraces a
scaled-down version of the space-
based defense shield that President
Reagan proposed in 1983 and
which Democrats have long derid
ed as “Star Wars.”
The existing
Pentagon pro
gram provides for
three years of lead
time once a po
tential threat has
been identified.
Gen. Henry H.
Shelton, chair of
the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, made a vigorous plea on the
eve of Wednesday’s vote for the
measure’s rejection — opposition
both sides suggested was a factor
in helping to keep it bottled up.
All 55 Senate Republicans voted
for the legislation. Four Democrats
joined the GOP in support of the
program, the same ones who vot
ed for it in May: Sens. Daniel K.
Akaka and Daniel Inouye of
GINGRICH
Hawaii, Ernest F. Hollings of South
Carolina, and Joseph Lieberman of
Connecticut.
Senate Majority Leader TYent
Lott, R-Miss., has made the bill a
top item on his 1998 agenda, and
Republicans view the measure as a
good issue for the upcoming
midterm congressional elections.
“We are putting (the nation’s)
security at risk under the current
policy,” Sen. Thad Cochran, R-
Miss., chief sponsor of the bill,
said. And Senate Armed Services
Committee Chair Strom Thur
mond, R-S.C., asked, “Can we af
ford not to do this?"
Cochran and other GOP spon
sors cited recent nuclear tests by
North Korea and Iran, and the po
litical instability in Russia, as
lending new urgency to passing
such a program.
Critics of a national missile de
fense system say $50 billion has

Clinton releases $20 million for Ko;
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton
released $20 million in aid for refugees in vi
olence-torn Kosovo on Wednesday, but a
State Department official said no amount of
aid will help unless the Serbian government
allows secure access to the area.
The aid announcement came as NATO’s
Southern European commander said the al
liance would need about 50,000 troops if it
has to monitor a peace agreement in the
province whose ethnic Albanian majority
seeks independence from Serbia.
White House officials with Clinton in Or
lando, Fla., announced that the $20 million
in aid comes from the U.S. Emergency
Refugee and Migration Assistance fund,
which the president may draw upon.
An estimated 265,000 refugees have been
displaced due to Serb attacks on Kosovar Al
banian villages, and Western government
and private groups fear thousands could die
without assistance.
The money, added to an earlier contribu
tion of $11 million, will go to U.N. and pri
vate agencies providing food and shelter for
refugees in the province, the White House
said. The United Nations is seeking $54 mil
lion worldwide to help avert a humanitarian
crisis in Kosovo.
Julia V. Taft, assistant secretary of state for
refugee and migration affairs, said none of the
funding would go to Serb authorities, blamed
by U.S. officials for the flight of refugees into
mountainous areas and hindering relief efforts.
“No amount of aid is going to be ... able
to avert this catastrophe unless the authori-
lies pull back and allow accesssj
