“I’m very concerned about world affairs, and I
feel that the U.N. is playing a very important role
in the world as we see it today,” Silvia said. “I
think this speech was a very significant event.”
Negroponte said the United Nations is pursu
ing the war against terror, supporting peacekeep
ing operations in Africa, contributing to the World
Food Program, mounting an HIV/AIDS initiative
worldwide and curbing the spread of weapons of
mass destruction.
Negroponte said he thinks Japan should be
added to the U.N. Security Council, because it
pays so much of the United Nation's budget, but
does not have a voice on the Security Council.
“The Security Council is an institution that
reflects the realities of 1945, but there has been
pressure over the past 15 to 20 years so that it bet
ter reflects the reality of today,” he said.
Negroponte said he was pleased with
Afghanistan’s adoption of the transitional admin
istrative law on March S. which will act as its con
stitution until it drafts one itself.
“I think it incorporates many important princi
ples of democracy,” Negroponte said, "i think the
adoption of this transitional law was a step in the
right direction.”
Graduate student Jackie Mather worked with
Negroponte last summer when she was
employed at the United Nations, and said she
enjoyed the speech and that he touched on all the
key current issues
“It doesn’t matter who he meets or from what
country they are from, he automatically makes
them feel at ease,” Mather said.
Negroponte said the United Nations is taking
steps to ensure peace and democracy worldw ide.
“We are making progress." Negroponte said,
“not always newspaper progress, perhaps, but his
tory book progress, the kind of progress you don’t
recycle, but you keep on your shelf.”

Right up to election day,
Doggett and his primary oppo
nent, former state judge Leticia
Hinojosa, kept up their intensive
battle on the airwaves and the
campaign trail.
Doggett had to make himself
known in the majority-Latino dis
trict, which stretches 350 miles
from Austin to Brownsville.
Hinojosa, meanwhile, promoted
herself as the hometown candi
date from Hidalgo County.
Hinojosa said voters were
turned off by the choppy
Spanish Doggett speaks in one
of his TV ads.
“People are concerned about
that,” Hinojosa said. “You can’t
always have an interpreter around,
and they want to be able to go up
and tell you their problems.”
Financial support for
Doggett poured in from nation
al groups of union members, car
dealers and teachers in the final
days of the race. Doggett has
collected more than $2.5 mil
lion so far for his campaign.
Doggett said he felt good
about the endorsements he got
from political leaders in the Rio
Grande Valley and said
Hinojosa’s support in her home
community was lacking.
“If she were as strong as she
pretends to be she would be
talking about her accomplish
