Whitfield said he would
“stand shoulder to shoulder”
with President Bush in the war
on terrorism. Congress may
have to decide whether to send
American troops into combat,
and as the only veteran in the
race. Whitfield said he under
stands the risks involved in
sending young men into harm’s
way. Whitfield said he left col
lege during the Vietnam War to
enlist in the Army, and his son is
currently in the Marine Corps.
Whitfield said he would work
to steer more federal research
and development grants to Texas
A&M.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Warlords may
need U.S. advisers
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -
Worried that renegade warlords
could plunge Afghanistan into
civil war once again, the United
States may send military advis
ers to act as referees between
rival factions, the U.S. special
envoy said Sunday.
The idea appeared aimed at
finding a way to stem factional
fighting without expanding the
U.S. military presence or divert
ing troops from hunting Taliban
and al-Qaida fugitives.
‘‘We are worried about
the multiple armies," envoy
Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters.
“There is a danger of multiple
armies going to war."
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California
petition the federal government to modify dozens
of long-term electricity contracts signed during
the peak of the state's power crisis, state officials
said Sunday.
With California $14.5 billion in the red, two
state agencies will ask the federal government
Monday to find that power sellers overcharged the
state by roughly $21 billion on contracts signed
last spring to keep electricity flowing over the next
two decades.
The appeal to the Federal Energy Regulatory
.Commission, which oversees wholesale electrici
ty sales, could give the state leverage in its efforts
to renegotiate contracts with the companies.
It could also lower electric bills, which would
boost Gov. Gray Davis’ approval ratings as he
it!
