attitude and outlook on life are what make this
Center such a pleasant place to work.”
Santa Ana fondly remembers a day when
Amador’s inviting nature presented a challenge
to the Center.
He said, “Two men walked into my office one
day and asked for a tour. I said ‘sure’ and then they
asked me where they could park the buses. I
thought to myself, ‘what buses?”’
“It turns out that they had brought up two bus
loads of school children from Mexico, unan
nounced, because Jose had told them ‘If you're
ever in Weslaco, come by the Center.’ It was a
challenge for me to come up with a half-day
schedule for them but it was a great experience for
the children,” Santa Ana said.
“He’s an ambassador for A&M and the
Center. It’s like his home here - a second home.
He does his best to make people feel comfortable
and welcome here.”
Amador will take a seven-month sabbatical start
ing in January before his retirement becomes official.
Sept. 11 commission:
No evidence of al-Qaida
links to Saddam
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rebuffing
Bush administration claims, the
independent commission investi
gating the Sept. 11 attacks said
Wednesday no evidence exists that
al-Qaida had strong ties to
Saddam Hussein. In hair-raising
detail, the commission said the
terror network had envisioned a
NEWS IN BRIEF
much larger attack and is working
hard to strike again.
Although Osama bin Laden
asked for help from Iraq in the
mid-1990s, Saddam’s government
never responded, according to a
report by the commission staff
based on interviews with govern
ment intelligence and law enforce
ment officials. The report asserted
“no credible evidence" has
emerged that Iraq was involved in
the Sept. 11 strikes.
Al-Qaida is actively trying to
replicate the destruction of that
day, the report said, though the
terrorist network has been weak
ened by losing its sanctuary in
Afghanistan and many leaders to
U.S. strikes and arrests. The terror
organization also is trying to
obtain a nuclear weapon and is
"extremely interested" in chemi
cal, radiological and biological
attacks, including the use of
anthrax, it said.
