Bush makes first trip
New York as president
NEW YORK (AP) — In his Big Apple
debut, President Bush made it to two of
New York’s most famous sites, welcoming
new citizens at Ellis Island
and honoring the late
Cardinal John O’Connor
at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
New York went against
him in last year’s election,
but Bush went out of his
way to reach out to De

round-trip flights on Air Force One. They
accompanied him all day.
Bush tailored his maiden New York ap
pearance as president to bring him to friend
ly settings.
When he reiterated his opposition to
abortion by calling O’Connor a defender of
“innocence and the right to be born,” he
drew an ovation. Rather than urge his lis
teners back into their seats, he basked in the
applause.
On Ellis Island, Bush pledged a welcom
ing spirit for new immigrants and a five-
year, $500 million effort to smooth the path
from arrival to citizenship, setting a goal of
processing new applications in six months or
less. Some applications drag on more than
four years, the administration said.
He looked on as 29 men and women from
18 countries took the oath, then led them in
their first pledge of allegiance, directing
them: “Right hand on your heart.”
The national anthem echoed through the
cavernous Ellis Island museum, immigrant
faces on stained-glass windows looking
down on the proceedings.
There were also echoes of Bush’s efforts
during the presidential campaign last year to
distance himself from the anti-immigrant
rhetoric of others in the GOP.
“Immigration is not a problem to be
solved, it is a sign of a confident and suc
cessful nation,” Bush said. “New arrivals
should be greeted not with suspicion and re
sentment, but with openness and courtesy.”
Bush presented the Congressional Gold
Medal, the highest award conferred by law
makers, to the family of O’Connor.
It was O’Connor to whom Bush apolo
gized last year after campaigning at Bob

houses of Congress and the legislatures of 38
states to become law.
Gay-rights advocates describe the initiative as
“gay-bashing,” while its backers say the amend
ment would prevent judges from setting family
policies that lack public support.
Matt Daniels, executive director of the Al

cided to propose the amendment because of
fears that Vermont’s year-old civil union law —
granting marriage-like rights to same-sex cou
ples — would spawn lawsuits nationwide by gays
seeking similar rights.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) —
A man charged with sodomy for
having oral sex with a 16-year-
old girl is fighting prosecution,
arguing that the law violates his
right of free expression.
He is the first person to be
charged under Utah’s anti
sodomy laws since 1990, and his
may be the first consensual
sodomy case in more than 15
years. A hearing was scheduled
for next week.
Derrick Sundquist was 19
when he was charged last year
with misdemeanor sodomy.
In Utah, a 16-year-old may
have consensual sex with a per
son who is no more than four
years older.
Sodomy was outlawed in
Utah even for married couples
until 1977, when the law was
changed to apply only to un
married people. It is punishable
by up to six months in jail and a
$1,000 fine.
If the girl was younger than
16 or Sundquist was older than
20, he could have faced felony
charges of sodomy of a child,
which are more common and
not in dispute, said attorney Bri
an Barnard, who has filed a brief
supporting Sundquist on bell
of the Utah Civil Rights^
Liberties Foundation.
In recent years, Utah judf
have dismissed lawsuits cb
lenging sodomy and fornicao
laws, saying that because peoj
are seldom prosecuted, plaino
are not in imminent danger
going to jail for having sex.
Sundquist was charged at
the girl told police about
consensual sex in Ameri
Fork, 30 miles south of
Lake City.
His attorney has filed a
tion to dismiss the charge.
