Cisneros pleads guilty
to misdemeanor count
Labor E
death t
reaches
Batl;i
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros
pleaded guilty yesterday to a misde
meanor count of
lying to the FBI,
ending a four-year,
$9 million-plus in
dependent counsel
investigation that
dimmed the luster
of a one-time De
mocratic Party ris
ing star.
The former
CISNEROS
Clinton Cabinet member must pay a
$10,000 fine but will face no jail time
or probation. The court accepted his
plea agreement just as his trial on 18
felony counts of conspiracy, ob
struction of justice and lying to the
FBI was set to begin.
In exchange, Cisneros admitted
in court that he falsely told the FBI,
while under consideration for the
Cabinet post, that he had never paid
his ex-mistress more than $2,500
monthly. He gave Linda Jones more
than $250,000 between 1989 and
1994, prosecutors said.
“I accept responsibility for the
conduct as outlined," Cisneros told
U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin,
his lawyer at his side. His wife, Mary
Alice, was not in the courtroom.
Cisneros, a former San Antonio
mayor who is now president of the
Spanish-language television net
work Univision in Los Angeles,
ducked out of the courthouse with
out talking to reporters. But in a pre
pared statement, he said: “I regret
my lack of candor ... I hope that all
who follow me in public service
learn the lesson that truth and can
dor are important in the pi 'OC6SS of
selecting our leaders."
In accepting the plea agreement,
which Sporkin said he initially
thought was too lenient, the judge
said: “1 know there will be some
second-guessing about this plea.
There will be some who will say
that the sanction is not tough
enough and others who will say
here is more evidence of the Inde
pendent Counsel Act as not serving
the public interest."
But, he added, "We cannot per
mit an individual to lie his way into
high public office... The work of the
independent counsel in this case
reaffirms the importance of telling
the truth."

14-year-old killed in tunnel collapse
GRAND PRAIRIE (AP) — A 14-year-old boy died
yesterday after being buried in a pile of sand on a con
struction site, authorities said.
The boy and a 13-year-old friend were digging
tunnels in the wet sand pile when one of the “tun
nels” collapsed, completely burying and suffocating
the older boy.
The 13-year-old boy, who was standing up, was
buried up to his neck when police officers arrived, said
John Brimmer, a police detective.
Officers began digging with their bare hands to
free the boys, said Brimmer.
The 14-year-old boy, John Reynolds, was not
breathing when officers finally reached him.
Reynolds was airlifted to Methodist Hospital in
Dallas, where he died early Tuesday.
The second victim was airlifted to Parkland Health &
Hospital System, where he was treated and later released.

Three ways to beat
the high cost of college.
• nri u a /»■ d:ii
1. The Montgomery Cl Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time income
The Army Reserve Alternate training Program is a smart way topaylorij
First, if you quality, the Montgomery Cl Bill can provide you with over*
for current college expenses or apporved vo/tech training.
Second, if you have-or obtain a qualified student loan not in default, youl
get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $ 1,500, whichever is greater, uptl
maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. J
Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how itworksl
summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill traiill
an Army school. You'll cam over $2,000 for Basic and even more for skill mw
Then you’ll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near yourcoW
usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You’ll be paid over S1I8 , |
weekend to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give us a call:
