After a campaign that fired up separatist movements around the world and stoked political passions across the coun- try, turnout was 84.6 percent - the high- est ever for an election in Britain. “No” campaigners across Scotland cheered, hugged and danced as the results came in the early morning and British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “delighted”. “It would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end,” he said out- side his Downing Street offices in London, looking visibly relieved after averting a humiliating defeat that could BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomes Kuwaiti well have cost him his job.

  • Bush Urges Senate to Confirm Tower Europeans Decide to Take Embassy
    The Daily Campus Serving the Storrs Community Since 1896 Vol. XCII No. 81 The University of Connecticut Tuesday, February 21,1989 Bush urges Senate to confirm Tower WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush on Monday concluded after reading a final FBI report on embattled Defense Secretary- designate John Tower that there was nothing in the flies to derail Tower's nomination, the White House said. Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater said that Bush went over the 140-page report on Tower, a former U.S. senator from Texas, during an Oval Office meeting with White House counsel C. Boyden Gray. Gray went to Capitol Hill late Monday to present the report to Sens. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., and John Warner, R-Va., the ranking members of the Armed Services Committee. "The report shows no reason why Sen. Tower should not be confirmed, in our judgment," Fitzwater told reporters as the dinner hour approached. "The president urges that Sen. Tower be confirmed as soon as possible," Fitzwater said. " We'll let the senators read the report and make their own judgment," the press secretary said. Fitzwater said the FBI report was "very exhaustive" and said that the document was sent unaltered to the Armed Services Committee leaders. "It did not corroborate the personal charges (of womanizing and excessive drinking) against the senator, nor did it show any problems with illegal campaign contributions," Fitzwater told reporters. He said that Nunn and Warner are welcome to "keep the report and read it at their convenience," but made it clear the White House believes that Tower's nomination should be recommended favorably Salman Rushdie holds up the book that caused the Ayatollah Khomeni to put a by the committee and approved by the full Senate.
