How to avoid budget delays
TODAY the House of Representatives will conduct a session to decide, among other things, whether or not to accept the proposed budget for fiscal year 1993 as amended by the Senate. As usual, the House is expected to reject the amended measure. As usual, too, both houses will go to conference committee and try to settle their differences and come out with a budget, less than three months before the end of fiscal year 1993. A constituent who had an idea on how to speed up the budget process and avoid the perennial squabble discussed it with. Representative Pete P. Reyes. Sharing the same frustration, Reyes has asked the House legal counsel for a deeper study, including the possibility of submitting the proposal to the voters as a popular initiative.

Regional organizations in Europe, Africa and the Americas are making significant contributions. 4 The protection of human rights is the obligation of all nations, as affirmed at the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna. The increased number of refugees and displaced persons as well as the problems o f uncontrolled migration and difficulties confronted by national minorities require urgent attention by the international commu nity,and should be tackled taking account of their root causes. Terrorism, particularly when sponsored by states, poses a grave danger which we will oppose energetically. 5.

We also support the reform process in Ukraine and hope that the recent meeting between Presidents Yeltsin and Kravchuk will provide a basis for further improvement of relations between the two countries. 6. Enhanced cooperation is necessary in combatting the danger of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missiles. In particular, we: _Urge North Korea to retract immediately its decision to withdraw from the NPT, and to fully comply with its non-proliferation obligations, including the implementa tion of IAEA safeguards agreement and the Joint Declaration on Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula; ^Encourage the countries concerned of thefotmer Soviet Union to ensure rapid, safe and secure elimination o f nuclear weapons in accordance with current agreements, providing effective assistance to this end; _UrgeUkraine to ratify the ST ARTTreaty, and Ukraine and Kazakhstan to accede to the NPT as non-nuclear weapons states.
