CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP)_
President Andres Pastrana said Tues
day he will urge President Clinton
during his visit to drop trade barriers
to create alternative jobs for the thou
sands of Colombians who work in
the drug trade.
Clinton arrives in Colombia today
with a high-powered delegation of
U.S. lawmakers. Cabinet members,
diplomats and military brass to speed
implementation of a $1.3 billion U.S.
anti-narcotics aid package.
In an interview with the Associat
ed Press, Pastrana lauded the visit —
the first by a U.S. president since
George Bush came in 1990 — as ev
idence that “we are not alone in the
fight against drugs.”
Ahead of Clinton’s arrival, work
ers were Hurriedly repaving streets in
this walled Spanish-colonial city on
the Caribbean and painting over anti-
U.S. graffiti, such as one that read:
“Clinton go home.”
Army troops erected roadblocks
on the outskirts and frisked mo
torists, part of a massive security op
eration involving 5,000 Colombian
soldiers and police and some 350
U.S. personnel.
Leftist rebels have promised not
to disrupt the visit, but some minor
violence and protests have been re
ported.
Police said they found anti-Clin
ton pamphlets signed by the rebel
Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia, or FARC, outside three
banks damaged by small explosions
Tuesday in the western city of Cali.
No one was injured in the blasts in
the city 470 miles from Cartagena.

— Andres Pastrana
President of Columbia
In Medellin, Colombia’s second -
largest city, riot police with water
cannons clashed with ski-masked
university students who burned a
bus, chanted anti-Clinton slogans
and waved Colombian Bags.
Troops and rebels also skirmished
with no reported casualties outside
Guayabetal, an Andean mountain
town 33 miles southeast of the capi
tal, Bogota.
Pastrana said he expects the U.S.
assistance to continue no matter who
is elected to the White House in No
vember because the aid plan has both
Democratic and Republican support.
But Pastrana urged the United
States to drop trade barriers to
Colombian products, which would
generate employment here and give
Colombians an alternative to nar
cotics production.
“This is one of the most important
subjects we must discuss with Bill
Clinton,” Pastrana, appearing re
laxed and casually dressed in a blue
sport shirt and tan chinos, told the As
sociated Press,
Clinton’s visit is a political boost
for Pastrana, whose popularity has
plummeted here amid disappointing
peace talks, a major recession and
ongoing rebel and right-wing para
military violence.
The American aid, most of it in
military hardware and training, is
aimed at combatting the armed
groups who protect plantations pro
ducing 90 percent of the world’s co
caine and a rising share of its heroin.
ROME (AP) — Pope John Paul II
sought Tuesday to lay down moral
guidelines for medical research in
the 21 st century, endorsing organ do
nation and adult stem cell study but
condemning human cloning and em
bryo experiments.
John Paul’s address to an interna
tional conference of 5,000 transplant
specialists appeared to be an attempt
to set moral limits on such life-and-
death issues as organ transplants and
related research.
John Paul won applause from the
transplant experts when he encour
aged organ donation, calling it an
“act of love.”
But if his stance against embryo
research were followed, “all these
people with serious diseases would
have no hope,” said one supporter of
the research, Dr. Robert Goldstein of
the New York-based Juvenile Dia
betes Foundation.
Underscoring how important he
considered the issue, the 80-year-old
pontiff left his summer retreat at
Castel Gandolfo outside Rome to ad
dress the International Congress of
the Transplantation Society.
But the address went beyond be
ing a booster speech for organ dona
tions.
John Paul spelled out the church’s
position on transplant-related mat
ters, condemning the sale of organs,
insisting on informed consent on
both sides of the exchange and sin
gling out the complete end of brain
activity as an acceptable way to de
termine that death has occurred.
Calling organ donation “a gen
uine act of love,” he said, “Accord
ingly, any procedure which tends to
commercialize human organs or to
consider them as items of exchange
or trade must be considered morally
unacceptable.”
The decision on who should be
first in line to receive organs can be
based only on medical factors, John
Paul said — not on age, sex, race, re
ligion, social standing, usefulness to
society or any other standard.
He left the door open for cross
species transplants.
The pope’s support for organ do
nation was likely to have an impact
on his 1 billion-strong flock of Ro
man Catholics. Traditionally, many
Catholics have been adverse to both
organ transplants and cremation for
reasons having to do with keeping
the body intact for resurrection.

The pope renewed his opposition

Britain moved toward allowing lim

the United States approving federal

The British and U.S. actions both
