Observers agree she is thepei feet choice to represent the Busli administration at the ceremonie; being held Monday at the head quarters of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. President George W. announced a year ago, before the U.N. General Assembly, that the United States would rejoin UNESCO after 19 years awaj from a group once considered corrupt and anti-Western Formed in 1945 to promote: international exchanges UNESCO helps modernize edu cation systems, establish stan dards on bioethics and presene cultural and natural treasures, Recently, UNESCO has helped reopen schools and establish newspapers in post-Talihae Afghanistan and worked in post war Iraq to recover looted arti facts. Patrick Fagan, a longtime col ic of U.N. operations at the con servative Heritage Foundation, said the re-entry of the United States into UNESCO hasrootsin Bush’s effort — ultimately unsuccessful — to woo UN. sup port on Iraq. While acknowledging UNESCO has made great strides during the United States’ absence, Fagan regards Bush’s i decision with "huge trepidation I and is looking for “constant vig lance” from the White House. ( Mrs. Bush has credibility,^ Fagan said, because of her involvement in education and her strong support for policies believes are sorely needed UNESCO to encourage mar riage, sexual abstinence mid val ues education.

Energy Continued from page 1 Senate bill’s attempt to spur of renewables in electricity gen eration. The Senate approved, despite vigorous opposition by the industry, requirement that electric utilities produce 10 percent of theit power from renewable This plan, however, never made the clrafts during negotiations and will be abandoned. Senators from both parties had supported a ban on the gaso line additive MTBE, which been found to contaminate drinking water. A four-yeat phase-out was in the Senate bill, though not the House’s. Leading House members including Tauzin and Maj Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, insisted on dropping the ban and giving makers of the petroleum- based additive a liability waive! in water contamination lawsuits- The issue remains under dis cussion, though Tauzin and DeLay are close to getting what they want, according to industf) 1 sources following the talks. Lee Fuller, a lobbyist for the independent oil and gas indus try, says many of the measures included in the final bill are needed “to grapple with this longer term question” of devel oping adequate energy supply- He acknowledges that the Senate-passed bill largely is being abandoned. One of the biggest benefici aries will be the oil and gas industry. The emerging bill renews the push to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, which the Senate has repeatedly rejected. 1.0U(9) 2 Miami 3. Vk)iniaTech 4. Ohio State 5.
