WASHINGTON (AP) — GOP lawmakers angered by
the Justice Department’s failure to produce crucial
documents promised yesterday a broader investiga
tion of the 1993 Waco siege than the one planned by
a special counsel.
Top Republicans continued to press for Attorney Gen
eral Janet Reno’s ouster while the ad
ministration pledged its support.
Meantime, former Sen. John Dan-
forth, the Missouri Republican ap
pointed by Reno to lead the inde
pendent investigation, said he would
try to avoid a political inquiry.
The chair of a House Government
Affairs Committee, which will re
view the government’s role in Waco,
said Danforth will concentrate on
possible criminal activity while “we’re going to be tak
ing a broader look.”
“We need to find out who’s responsible." Rep. Dan
Burton, R-Ind., said on “Fox News Sunday.” “We don’t
want people in charge of things like Waco if they’re
not doing their job properly.”
Danforth, appearing on five Sunday news pro
grams, said his investigation would have a narrow fo
cus and seek to avoid politics.
“It’s not going to be sort of a general sweeping in-

NEW YORK (AP) — Cardinal
John O’Connor drew laughter at St.
Patrick’s Cathedral yesterday as he
made his first public appearance
since surgery for a brain tumor.
The appearance came just over a
week after he was released from
Memorial Sloan Kettering Medical
Center. He has not said whether the
tumor was malignant or what his
prognosis might be.
“This has been a truly marvelous
funeral,” he joked to 2,500 worship
pers. “I’ve enjoyed every bit of it.”
O’Connor, 79, recalled hearing
the news that he had a brain tumor
and said: “You could hardly expect
to hear words more filled with dread
than that.”
But he called the surgery “extra
ordinarily successful.” He did not
use the word cancer but said radia
tion therapy had “cleaned up any
possible debris” from the growth.
“There have been so many
prayers, so many cards, so many
messages,” O'Connor said. “It’s
impossible for me to keep up,
but I’m told we’re making a lot
of money for the archdiocese
selling flowers.”
Standing unassisted, the cardinal
delivered the homily for the Mass,
which was dedicated to workers in
honor of Labor Day.
He noted that his father was a
union member, who worked ap
plying gold leaf to ornate architec
tural designs, and quipped: “When
there was serious consideration of
this, I insisted that my casket have
a union label.”
O'Connor also joked that he had
sent the Pope lists that have ap
peared in the media with names of
his potential successors. “He hasn’t
yet told me who that will be, if or
when,” he said.
