"Callj 4-0948. Politics Wednesday, November 14, 2001 THE BATTALION Page 9 AEA names A&M economics prof V.P. By Jonathan Kolmetz THE BATTALION The American Economic Association (AEA) elected Texas A&M economics profes sor Dr. Finis Welch to serve as one of its two vice presidents for the upcoming year. Welch, a distinguished profes sor of Economics at A&M, will serve this national post for the AEA in 2002. The AEA is a professional economics association that publishes the Journal of Labor Economics and has over 22,000 members. Welch was one of four mem bers nominated by the 2000- 2001 AEA board. “Scheduling meetings and serving on nominating boards for awards and future offi cers are the main duties,” Welch said. The AEA gives out the wide ly acclaimed Walker Prize every five years, which Welch said is comparable to the Nobel Peace prize of economics. Welch earned his undergrad uate in economics at the University of Houston and a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Academia is my life. I have been doing it for 37 years, nothing is going to change that. — Dr. Finis Welch AEA Vice President Welch was elected presi dent-elect for the Society of Labor Economists (SEE), an international organization, for 2003-2004. Welch will serve one year as vice president and the following year as president. “As president-elect and pres ident, I am able to create an agenda for the annual meeting each spring and give a ‘State of the Economy’ address,” Welch said. Welch is currently the presi dent of Welch Consulting and chairman of STATA Corporation. He has been a Private Enterprise Research Center research fellow at A&M since 1991. Welch said he is not the type to grab headlines or run to Washington, D.C. He said everything he is committed to has not and will not affect his position at A&M. “The boards and committees that I serve on meet the first week of January and over the summer,” Welch said. “They do not interfere with my work here at A&M.” Welch said that although he has received positions on com mittees and boards across the nation, he is not looking to move anywhere. “Academia is my life. I have been doing it for 37 years, noth ing is going to change that,” said Welch. Bryan City Council discusses TXU’s natural gas rate increase The Bryan City Council increased the city’s natural gas rate by 13.71 percent at its meet ing Tuesday night. The council approved only 68 percent of what TXU had requested. The increase will be implemented over the next two years. The council also welcomed Mary Kaye, the new Bryan city manager, to her first official city council meeting. During the meeting, the council recessed for a reception to welcome Kaye to the city and her new job. A public hearing regarding the renaming of the Central Business Corridor was also on the agenda. The council did not hear com ments on this matter because 25 to 30 citi zens were against the change. The council did not rename any streets in the Central Business Corridor and it motioned to hear the question again at a later meeting. U.S. pledges to reduce nuclear arsenal WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush pledged Tuesday to slash the United States’ nuclear arsenal by two-thirds, to as few as 1,700 warheads, and Russian President Vladimir Putin said he might “respond in kind.” The leaders failed to agree on Bush’s missile shield plans. In private talks and then in an East Room news conference, the leaders opened a three-day visit that will focus on the budding U.S.-Russian alliance against terrorism and nagging differ ences over the 1972 Anti- Ballistic Missile Treaty. “The position of Russia remains unchanged,” Putin said of his government’s objection to scrapping the treaty that bars national missile defenses. The talks moved to Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, last Wednesday where U.S. offi cials held out hopes for accord on the missile shield issue. Both leaders indicated their relationship had buried vestiges of the Cold War. “Together, we’re making his tory as we make progress,” Bush said. “We’re transforming our relationship from one of hostili ty and suspicion to one based on cooperation and trust.” In a blizzard of paper, the pair formalized a series of agreements to combat bioterror ism, bolster the Russian econo my, battle money laundering that finances terrorism and strengthen Russia’s ties to NATO — the 19-member mili tary alliance formed to counter Moscow in the Cold War. It was the issue of weapons that underscored their greatest agreement and disagreement. Bush, who promised in the presidential campaign to signifi cantly reduce U.S. nuclear stockpiles regardless of whether Russia reciprocated, announced his intention to slash the nation’s long-range nuclear arsenal to between 1,700 and 2,200 weapons over the next decade. The United States currently has about 7,000 nuclear war heads. Russia has about 5,800, but cannot afford to keep them. Bush called his proposal “fully consistent with American security.” Putin replied: “We appreciate very much the decision by the president to reduce strategic offensive weapons to the limits indicated by him and we, for our part, will try to respond in kind.” There were small signs of discord. Putin said he wanted the nuclear targets in writing, “including the issues of verifica tion and control.” The U.S. pres ident said it was enough that he had “looked the man in the eye and shook his hand.” But Bush said he would be willing put the agreement in writing. On the ABM treaty. Bush hopes to persuade Putin to allow the United States to pro ceed with research and devel opment of a missile shield without declaring the work a violation of the 1972 pact. In exchange. Bush promised Putin in their meeting to keep Russia informed of the tests. U.S. officials said the propos al would give both men what they want: Bush could begin developing a missile shield and Putin could tell his public that he kept the ABM intact. Putin said he was open to discussing the issue with Bush in Crawford.
