U.S. looks for NATO to support
demands for Iraq to disarm
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Bush, emboldened by
unanimous support from the
United Nations Security
Council, turns next to the NATO
alliance for backing — in words,
if not yet in deeds — ot his
demands for Iraq to disarm.
Shifting diplomatic gears from
the Security Council vote to next
week’s NATO summit. U.S. offi
cials expect the alliance to make
a political statement of “allied
solidarity.” But the White House
has not yet asked the alliance to
consider any collective contribu
tion to war if Saddam Hussein
refuses to surrender his weapons
of mass destruction.
“It hasn’t crossed my mind,
we’ve not proposed it." Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said
in advance of the summit in Prague.
As one NATO official pri
vately explained, there is no
attempt to put together a NATO
military declaration because the
Iraqi crisis is currently on a
diplomatic track through the
United Nations. With Germany
holding to its staunch anti-war
position, the unanimity that
NATO proceedings require will
be difficult to achieve on any
position going further than the
United Nations’ demand that
Saddam disarm or risk “seri
ous consequences.”
Nicholas Burns. Bush’s
ambassador to NATO, framed
what the United States wants
from NATO in terms of a sim
ple endorsement of the
Security Council resolution.
“At Prague, we must speak
with one voice and tell Saddam
that the will of the U.N. must
be respected and that we will
stand together until this prob
lem is resolved.” said Bums.
The 19 NATO partners meet
against a Dec. 8 deadline for
Saddam to disclose all aspects
of his weapons programs. But
the summit is being convened
foremost to approve, with the
United States’ assent, another
round of membership invitations
to seven ex-communist states —’
Lithuania, Latvia. Estonia,
Romania, Slovenia. Slovakia
and Bulgaria — while hopefuls
Macedonia and Albania are
expected to be put off.
NATO, casting an eye to its
own relevance in the post-
( oltl War world, also
expected to announce
overhaul of its 53-ye a[ ,

First woman leader in Congress
Freshman
Saturday it
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a
California liberal, easily won election Thursday as
leader of minority House Democrats and swiftly
set a goal of crafting a “down the center” program
for economic growth.
"Hopefully, we can find a great deal of com
mon ground with Republicans” across a range of
issues, said the 62-year-old, a vet
eran of 15 years in Congress. “But
where not. we will put up the
fight.”
With her victory. Pelosi became
the first woman leader of either
party in Congress. “I’ve been wait
ing over 200 years,” she quipped,
but the triumph, when it came, was
an easy one. She defeated Rep.
Harold Ford of Tennessee on a vote
of 177-29: -
Pelosi takes the helm of a
party that has been out of power in the House for
eight years, and suffered a dispiriting loss of seats
in last week’s elections. She succeeds Rep.
Richard Gephardt of Missouri, who stepped down
after four terms as minority leader.
In the run-up to the leadership election,
Pelosi’s Democratic critics had said her liberal
brand of politics could pose a problem for a party
struggling to regain a majority. But she moved to
blunt such criticism in the hours before her elec
tion. appointing Rep. John Spratt, a South
Carolina moderate with experience in military and
budget issues, as her assistant.
And on Wednesday night, she was among a
