“I expect a great reward in

Tuesday, during which he was
cheerful, often smiling. “I am
looking forward to glory.”
Hill suggested others should
take up his violent cause.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Bush moves ahead
with UN resolution
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Bush administration is con
sulting with other countries on
a new Security Council reso
lution that would give the
United Nations a leading role
in building an Iraqi govern
ment and transform the mili
tary presence in Iraq to a
multinational force.
President Bush and
Secretary of State Colin
ment have denounced the calls for
violence.
Most abortion clinics in
Florida reached by The
Associated Press on Wednesday
declined comment. McKenzie
said security is high at their clin
ics, but they are particularly cau
tious now because of Hill’s call
for people to follow his actions.
“The bottom line is when
you work in the industry you’re
aware those people are out there
every single day,” she said.
Inspired by the 1993 shooting
death of another abortion doctor
in Pensacola, Hill purchased a
shotgun and went to a gun range
to practice. The morning of the
murder, as Britton and the
Barretts entered the clinic parking
lot, Hill shot James Barrett in the
head and upper body. He then
reloaded and Fired again, hitting
Britton in the head and ami. June
Barrett was wounded in the arm.
Hill put down the shotgun
because he did not want to get
shot by police and walked away.
When officers arrested him
without incident, he said, “I
know one thing, no innocent
babies are going to be killed in
that clinic today.”
Hill was the 57th inmate exe
cuted since Florida resumed
executions in 1979 and the third
in Florida this year.
Powell agreed Tuesday to
move forward with a new U.N.
resolution in an effort to attract
more foreign contributions to
postwar Iraq, three senior
administration officials said on
condition of anonymity.
Powell and his aides will
begin talking about the new
resolution in coming days
with key members of the
Security Council whose
support is critical: close ally
Britain, as well as France
and Russia.
