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.

Alan Nelson, INS commissioner, said the plan involves the addition of 500 INS personnel in southern Texas to process applications on the spot and stop what the agency called abuses of the system. Tens of thousands of Central Americans are expected to cross the Rio Grande in southern Texas this year, according to the INS, which says political asylum requests from Central Americans have risen almost sevenfold over the past four years. More than 50,000 sought asylum in fiscal year 1988, compared with 7.063 in 198S. "We intend to send a strong signal to those people who have the mistaken idea that by merely filing a frivolous asylum claim, they may stay in the United Slates," Nelson said. "This willful maniplation of America's generosity must stop." More than 2,000 Central Americans a week have been crossing the Rio Grande before applying for political asylum, and more than 100,000 are expected NEW YORK- Police officer examines body of a burglar after he tried to slide down the to enter the country illegally this year. chimney of a closed restaurant and died when he became wedged in the narrow opening.
