His passing will end one of Clinton’s most productive relationships with a personally Cannon fodder compatible head of state who could be relied on in times ofcrisis. In October, for instance, with the Middle East peace talks at Maryland’s Wye Plantation deadlocked,Clinton summoned Hussein from his sickbed to delivera pep talk that pushed Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahuand Palestinian Authority President character dies of: Yasser Arafat toward an eventual agreement. Throughout his six years in the White House, Clinton has relied on Hussein’s stature as the Middle East’s kidney failure. elder statesman to ease US foreign policy over a number of rough spots. US officials admit that it is difficult to tell where the Israeli-Palestinian peace process would be ifnot for Hussein’s benign influence.

The decision to keep the ten-warhead missiles in operation was THECAMPUSCENTER nade .in part to maintain the US nuclear warhead count as the tdministration moves to decommission the four oldest Trident strategic ballisticmissile submarinesstarting in 2002. That will leave in service 14 ofthe giant nuclear submarines, each ofwhich carries 24 ICBMs with five or more warheads. The Trident decommissioning, which was originally timed ta coincide with expected Moscow ratification this year of START 11, had been in some doubt because of a congressional prohibition against reductions of the US nuclear arsenal until the Russian parliament took positive action on the 1993 treaty. A major reason for taking the Tridents out of service is the cost of keeping them going. Defense Secretary William S. Cohen told Congress last week that it would cost “some 5 or 6 billion dollars” to refuel the nuclear reactors of the four older Tridents as well as modify them to cay newer Trident I1 missiles.

After all, what Vice President AI Gore proposed in a speech in San Francisco recently went Find out )\(OWabouu Leading beyond Clinton’s promise when he signed the welfare bill in 1996 to restore benefits to legal immigrants living in the United States before the bill became law. An Explorations or Perspectives Group Under the administration proposal to be unveiled as part of the federal budget Monday, the government would offer benefits to people who entered the country after August 1996,when welfare reform went into effect. Doing so would overturn a central tenet of the welfare overhaul: that only those people who have lived in the United States and paid taxes for years should benefit from government programs. Informational Meeting “By allowing somebody whojust came in to willy-nilly take advan- tage ofthe system, that’s eroding one ofthe principles that underlay the Wednesday, Feb, 10 1996 reforms, namely that a person who is a beneficiary of all these welfare programs should have astake in paying for them, by being born here or raised here or (having) paid into the system for a certain period E41 4-5 pm, Miner 12 oftime,” said Mike Franc, vice president for government relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation. But instead of unleashing a firestorm, the proposal, which calls for spending $1.3 billion over the next five years and untold billions after that, was met with silence by congressional Republicans. Angered by the plan, they nevertheless have hesitated to voice their concerns for fear of alienating growing blocs of Latino and Asian voters. “This is risky territory for Republicans,” said Franc. “They’ve already been demagogued on this issue as mean-spirited. Now that the administration has gone over the line, they may not be in a position to come forward.” The muted response is a sign of the times. While the welfare law achieved billions of dollars in savings by targeting aid for legal immi- grants, the sharp drop in the number of such immigrants entitled to benefits, many of whom had lived and worked in the United States for years, has prompted unrelenting criticism from immigrant groups, Roman Catholic leaders, Jewish groups, and anti-hunger advocates who asserted that noncitizens had been unfairly singled out. Governors, both Democratic and Republican, whose states have large immigrant populations joined in the campaign to roll backthe cuts, The fearing that they would have to shoulder a larger financial burden. Republicans also hurt their reputation among Latino and Asian voters with initiatives IikeCalifornia’sProposition187 in 1994, whichdenied Tufts University ~ social services to illegal immigrants. Such initiatives left people in many ethnic groups believing that Republicans were anti-immigrant, pollsters and immigrant rights advo- Fourth Annual cates said, and led many to vote Democratic. Latino Americans are the - nation’s fastest-growing minority group. And in California, where the Latino population has reached almost 3 1 percent, demographers predict that within five years Latinos will rival whites for majority status. Student Leadership InNovember’selections, Latinos voted in record numbers. Accord- ing to a Los Angeles Times exit poll, Latino voters made up 13 percent ofthe California electorate, significantly more than the eight percent of Recognition Awards 1994. As a result, even as the Clinton administration takes its biggest swing yet atwelfare reform, proponents ofthe overhaul have less capital than ever to spend on opposing the initiative. A Republican Senate aide who works closely on immigrant issues predicted that Republican vulnerability with Latino and Asian voters means that Congress will be likely to approve the changes. “The frustratingthing is, this is the camel’s nose under the tent, this is the line of demarcation for anyone who cares about what welfare reform accomplished,” the aide said. “All these compromises we made in ’97 were fine. They did not violate the heart of our bill. But this certainly does.” Nominations Can Be Found Clinton administration officials played down the proposal, calling it simply an extension of two earlier administration efforts to restore ~ benefits to other categories of legal immigrants. But both those efforts, At The Info Booth enacted in 1997 and 1998, were limited to people already in the country when welfare reform tookeffect. In The Campus Center “In a political sense, this is extremely important for us,” said Joel Najar, immigration policy analyst with theNational Council ofLa Raza, a nonprofit Latino civil rights organization. “It’s the president keeping his promise that he woulddo what he can to not burden welfare reform on the backs of immigrants. At the same time, it’s agood opportunity for Republicans to put their money where their mouth is in their outreach to minority populations.” Here lies wasted mace- All Nominations areDue Monday March 1,1999 that By 500 pm in the Office of Student Activities space couldLhave been filled bv YOU and your ad. *Don’tbe a Sponsored by the Ofice of Student Activities and space waster. the Ofice ofthe President Advekise in the Daily.

Armed with cash from Uncle Sam -perhaps in the range ofseveral hundred dollars in the first year under President Clinton’s plan -more than 140 million US workers would have instant access to the booming stock market.

Clinton, who calls his version “universal savings accounts,” would reserve 12 percent of the projected budget surplus -$536 billion over 15 years-forthem.

Additional amounts up to an established ceiling would be available on a matching basis for those who contributed their own funds, with larger government matches for those at the lower end of the income For additional information call David at 617-806-1008 scale.

Although the precise formula and ceilings on matching funds have not been determined, a White House official said that the goal would be to promote savings among workers least able to afford it. Two leading Republicans, Senate Finance Committeechairman William V. Roth Jr. OfDelawareandHouseBudget what ate you doing this Spring Break! Committee Chairman John R. Kasich of Ohio, have different ap- proaches, but they agree with the President on the need to give every Join tbe Leon& Carmicbdelsociety for worker some money to open stock accounts for retirement. “Frankly, I was very pleased to see the President in effect endorse what I have been proposing for some time,” Roth said. “We certainly are thinking along the same lines. We have a real chance of reaching a consensus.” Roth’s plan, also still on the drawing boards, would . give every worker a base payment of $250, plus additional funds in proportion to payroll tax payments. Kasich, who is exploring a presidential bid in 2000, said: “The reason I know my plan is a good one is that the President is trying to Come spend zl week building houses, working on zl firm, helping low-income .1 - take it.” Kasich and many other Republicans would like to carve out a share of each worker’s payroll tax (12.4 percent, split between communities, or working with children. employer and employee) for workers to invest in retirement accounts. “What I really favor,” he said, “is being able to divert two percent or three percent of payroll taxes to a private account,” although he admitted that was not likely to win acceptancefrom the Democrats any time soon. That is because Clinton and congressional Democrats insist that the stockmarket is too risky forthe nation’s core retirement system. Instead, the President would leave Social Security intact and add the new USA accounts on top of it. General Interest Meeting “He wants to show the Republicans he is open to individual accounts,” said Rep. Robert T. Matsui, D-Calif., amember ofthe House Wednesday, February 10 Ways and Means Committee. “This is the first step toward common ground.” 9:OO PM, Eaton 201 At least some Republicans may be prepared to walk onto that For info qll the LCS office x3643 ground. By offering his plan, Clinton has “breached the wall against returning some of the surplus to individuals,” said COP Rep.
