EDITORIAL Let people be the judge THE gubernatorial candidates forum last Tuesday had the whole citizenry open up their eyes and ears for a full two hours and fifteen minutes of worthwhile political entertainment In a place where people eat politics, breathe politics and live politics, the forum was indeed a feast for each and every individual concerned about the future of his beloved islands. The discussion that transpired that night has become a basic item on the menus of each and every restaurant on island, reverberating in the mouths and ears of every freedom-loving Chamolinian in between sips of hot coffee and tea whether at home or in coffee shops. A lot of people have traded observations, comments and reactions on who among the two candidates fared better, each one claiming his expert opinion is better than the other’s. The whole islands have becomea big forum in itself where all participants are players in the shaping of public opinion. Who did better - Larry or Froilan - is besides the point.

His opponent then argued Article 12 is definitely an issue because a lot of investors have been scared away by the controversial constitutional provision.

Of all the secrets kept under wraps at the Central Intelligence Agency, this one may make John Le Carre’s head turn: The CIA has an in-house quilt-making club. Known as the “Undercover Quilters” around the corridors of the CIA, these officials weave after work. The CIA couldn’t tell us exactly how many members belong to the Quilt Club because they have to be tight- lipped about anything that could indicate the total number of their personnel. The cloak-and-quilters displayed some tools of the trade recently at the CIA’s 14th annual “Family Day” at the agency headquarters. It’s a sort of show-and-tell for the children of agency officials, featuring exhibits of CIA clubs (from quilt-making to karate) and showcasing state-of-the-art espionage equipment. The children were particularly intrigued by a bug in a wall (apparently placed for show only) that picked up conversations in a hallway outside one room. Another big hit were hand held calculators with listening devices.. “This (spying) is a hard line of work because it takes you to places that you can’t disclose for long lengths of time,” a CIA spokesperson said. “Family Day was a way of recognizing that families have to be pretty special to put up with all this.” 6-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VffiWS-FRIDAY-OCTOBER 8.1993

702 negotiations began well over one and-a-half years into the Guerrero Administration and continued for over one year. In that time, the level of federal financial assistance was reduced from $228 Million to $175 Million. The Guerrero Administration declined to accept the $175 Million offer. Negotiations stalled. When the Guerrero Administration finally returned to the negotiating table the offer was $120 Million. The US reduced its offer from $175 M illion to $120 M illion, a loss of $55 M illion in multi-year financial assistance. The Guerrero Administration failed. They failed to read the sign of the times: they started negotiations with the federal government too late: they failed to recognize that the US was going through a recession and that the $ 175 Million was generous given the climate in the US: they failed to submit the agreement to Congress welljpefore the US election. Bush lost and the agreement had to be re­ submitted to a new administration and a new Congress: they failed to meet congressional calls for reform and today we have no Covenant funds and no Covenant funding agreement.

Not only did the Guerrero Administration fail to meet their promise, but they shirked their constitutional responsibilities by their fail­ ure to appoint a qualified and able individual to the position of Special Assistant for Carolinian Affairs.

The M eaning of Election Year ’ 9 3 A lot is at stake in this year's Gubernatorial election. The collective result of the November Sixth general election will determine thefuture of so many important issues, among them:

* The future of continued financial assistance from the federal government. * Our ability to encourage investors to invest in the CNMI. * Re-establishing confidence in the CNMI Government. * Retiring the mounting deficits incurred under the Guerrero Administration, figures nearing between $20-30 Million. * Making our Carolinian Community an integral part of the CNMI Government. * Re-establishing a solid and even working relationship with the federal government. * Providing infrastructure while adhering to standard pro­ curement practices without bankrupting the system.

It is crystal clear that the record of the Guerrero Administration over the last four years is simply one of FAILURE! When you translate this failure into its simplest form, it means economic hardship for our people and children for years. The most important question that you need to answer for yourself is: Do you want another four years of failure?

The FRIENDS of the COM M ONW EALTH tells the TB Team :

Issue # 1. The Democrat practiced political harassment, A Radio advertisement inviting all government employees to report to the Chairman of the Democratic Party any political harassment by the government superiors. What hypocrisy? Chairman Carlos Camacho, your first administration fired former Lt. Governor Pedro A Tenorio and Jesus P. Mafhas from their government post and you threatened some government employees. The Democrat Administration did it first. Issue # 2. CUC privatization. No, no, Froilan, CUC employees will be displaced and their families will suffer. Why??? $5.00 per hour for local wage versus $2.50 per hour for contract workers will favor foreign labor and local employees will be removed. Your cronies and oligarch will be benefited from this transition and the people of the CNMI will be short changed. Issue #3. The $27 million covenant funding for F Y 1994 is already approved. Issue #4. The whereabouts of the $34 million is fully explained by Ms. Leslie Turner’s letter to Governor Lorenzo I. Deleon Guerrero.

Dear Governor Guerrerox

In response to your le tte r of September 7, and Lt. Governor Manglona's le tte r of August 24( I am pleased to note that sufficien t progress in implementing the requirements of the Operations and Maintenance Improvement Program (OMIP) has been made by the Commonwealth U tilitie s Commission. As a result, there are no remaining Impediments to _the CNMI's use of $6.93 m illion now in the "Bank of New "York~as i£s m atting contribution pursuant to the terms o i'lfie FY 1995 grant of $ 2 7 ,7 m i l l i o n . *'■’ ...... / I share your interest in putting these funds to use as soon as N possible. However, the drawdown of FY 1993 funds is contingent upon _maa-tinq-JTOm£_CPnd:TEions, which ' include the presentation to OTIA of the CNMI’s lis t of projects, associ_ated_~cost estimates and project budgets. As established in the"Grant Pledge Agreements, the disbursements by the trustee bank can only be made for projects concurred in by the Department of the Interior. It follows that the actual drawdown of OTIA ca3h and the funds on deposit with the trustee bank must be associated with the implementation of individual projects.

I look forward to receiving notification of the selected projects so that bheir 'Implementation may "begin.
