Well, maybe fair trade," said Greg Bird, chief finan- cial officer for Horizon Enterprises, a precision metal auto parts manu- facturer based in Taylor. "We need government and manufacturers to work together like governments and manufacturers in other countries work together." Bird said Horizon and all small suppliers are shouldering a larger share of research and development costs for their clients. "We're looking for policies that will help remove those up-front costs," he said. "Policies like the in- vestment tax credit program. "It doesn't matter whether the government is run by Republicans or Democrats. The key is cooperation and adopting policies good for the whole country and not just special interest groups."

Perot's "October Surprise," if it comes about, will probably put him in the role of political spoiler - not political phenomenon. In the eyes of many supporters, America's knight in shining armor tarnished his suit by letting them down. When he went against his word to the volunteers who worked to get his name on the ballot, he for- feited a legitimate chance at the presidency - and America's trust. P RTS 0' WRITE FOR THE MICHIGAN DAILY 764-0552 OPENING IN OCTOBER! Sterling Silver: House sustains family-leave bill veto, 258-169 Lwmakers predictfamily-related issues to be a major concern in '92 presidential campaign WASHINGTON (AP) - The House yesterday easily sustained President Bush's veto of a bill re- quiring many businesses to give their workers time off in family emergencies. Democrats pledged to redouble efforts to make "family leave" a major issue in the cam- paign for the White House. The vote on the politically charged bill was 258-169, well short of the two-thirds majority needed to override Bush. It was the 33rd consecutive time Bush has made his veto stick. In defeat on the family-leave bill, supporters said the veto would reverberate in next month's presi- dential election. Democrat Bill Clinton supports the measure; Bush has promoted "family values" as a campaign theme. "This issue frames this cam- paign," said Rep. Patricia Schroe- 'This issue frames this campaign. Yes, it really is about who is for families. - Rep. Patricia Schroeder D-Colo. der. "Yes, it really is about who is for families." Forty-two Democrats deserted their party and voted to sustain Bush's veto. Thirty-eight Repub- licans voted to override their presi- dent. The measure was strongly op- posed by lobbyists for small busi- ness. Opponents pointed to Bush's eleventh-hour alternative, $500 million in tax credits for businesses that grant the unpaid leave to workers. "There's a better, more effective way," said House Minority Leader Bob Michel, (R-Ill.) The House voted overwhelm- ingly as expected to override an- other Bush veto of a bill that would slap conditions on renewal next year of China's trade status with the United States. Most-favored nation status imparts the lowest available tariffs on a country's exports to America. The vote was 345-74, well over the two-thirds needed. The veto battles were among the major bills to be acted upon before the 102nd Congress adjourns early next week. Since the new federal fiscal year begins today with most of the 13 annual spending bills unfinished, Congress passed the emergency bill to give it more time to finish those spending bills. Legislators also sent Bush a $688 million measure that helps fi- nance the District of Columbia's government after removing a pro- vision allowing local tax collections to be used for abortions. Bush had vetoed the bill earlier in the day be- cause he opposed the abortion pro- vision. The family leave bill would have required businesses with 50 or more employees to give workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-pro- tected leave, with full health bene- fits, to care for a sick family mem- ber or for the birth or adoption of a child. The Senate voted 68-31 last week to override Bush. He so far has a perfect record of making his vetoes stick. The Senate vote marked the first time in his presi- dency that body has voted to over- ride. House Speaker Thomas Foley called Bush's veto "a very bad mis- take" but already was looking AP PHOTO' Rep. Pat Schroeder (D-Colo.) shares a laugh with American Association of University Women member Nancy Zirkin and Women's Legal Defense Fund President Judith Litchman (from left to right). These women are lobbying for the family leave bill but some House members say there are enough votes to sustain President Bush's veto. 0 ahead to the bill's prospects if Clinton, a supporter of the bill, is elected president. "It is one of the things that will change in a new administration," Foley said. "It is one of the things that the Clinton campaign is com- mitted to change and that the Congress in great majority is committed to support." "We thought the election poli- tics would help us," one Demo- cratic strategist said. "On the other hand, it could be hurting us." Major tax legislation was also pending in the final days of Congress. A Senate-House conference committee was to take up the issue after the Senate voted 70-29 to ap- prove its $35 billion catchall bill Tuesday night. The House's version is about half that size. Both include a portion for poor cities, through business incentives in depressed areas, but the urban aid portion was dwarfed by added items such as expanded individual retirement accounts and business tax breaks. The House and Senate sent Bush a compromise $12 billion measure financing land programs that leaves mostly. intact the 120-year-old law that gives miners inexpensive ac- cess to federal lands. - - - - - - - - - -- CONSENT Continued from page 1 out abortion debate." He said about 20 additional amendments - such as extending consent power to grandparents or older siblings - were debated, dis- cussed and voted on, but they were all defeated. "When you start to get into this type of legislation, each side begins to promote its own agenda," he said. Pro-life advocates have asked legislators to adopt the bill in its original form with no amendments. Rep. Paul Baade (D-Muskegon) said all new proposals were made by pro-choice factions and the issues being brought up were the same as when the original bill was debated. Pro-choice advocates criticized the original law because they said it would force girls who can't talk to their parents to seek illegal abor- tions, unfairly discriminating against troubled families. They also said it is a step toward outlawing abortion altogether. Anti-abortion activists said even an emergency situation should not excuse her from getting consent before an abortion. "If there is a problem with a girl's health, it is all the more neces- sary for her parents to be involved," said Pat Rose of Right to Life of Washtenaw County. "Parents should be involved in the health decisions of their daughters. "The majority of parents have their children's best interests at heart," she added. "You can't make law based on bad cases because that will make bad law." A petition drive initiated the 1990 act after former Gov. James Blanchard vetoed a similar bill. The group, called Citizens for Parents' Rights, collected 331,464 signatures from Michigan residents. The law enables a minor who chooses not to seek the consent of a parent to confidentially petition the probate court, which will decide if the minor is "sufficiently mature and well-enough informed to make the decision regarding abortion independently ..."

The support came as the result of a compromise between Democrats, many of whom wanted no restrictions, and Republicans - led by then-Senate Majority Leader John Engler -who wanted a stricter law. Because the legislation was de- veloped by citizens, Blanchard did not have the power to veto it. The bill was opposed by female0 and Black legislators. Of 21 females, three voted for it.

She suggested a collective Saturday morning walk through woods as a statement of security. RAPE Continued from page 1 before anyone found her and her at- tacker probably thought she was dead when he ran from the woods. "We have a handful of sus- pects," Caldwell said. But as the victim is not yet in a condition to make an identification, he said, it may be several days before police are able to make further determina- tions. One suspect, he said, was ar- rested on separate charges yester- day. "In my experience, people don't start out with violent crimes," Caldwell said. "This isn't the first time he's done something like this, and it most likely will not be the last." Police said they believe the as- sailant may strike again in the area and, if he does, will most likely at- tack another white female. "The streets are still your streets. Your park is still your park, and you have a right to use that," said Jerry Wright, head of the AAPD Crime Prevention Unit. "We 35th ANNUAL MISS CHINATOWN U.S.A.

B ILLING Continued from page 1 and examining space utilization. Steiss said he hopes for an answer in the next few weeks. Steiss said the 47.2 percent rate is a combination of both administrative and space costs. Colleges and uni- versities nationwide are subject to a 26 percent rate - capped by HHS - on administration costs. Steiss explained that schools like Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have higher rates be- cause they have exhibited that they spend more on space-related costs. Administration costs - previ- ously set at 37 percent - include general and administrative offices, sponsored program administration, and departmental administrative costs incurred to departments in research. The remaining 21.2 percent is al- lotted for space costs, including utilities and equipment. While the administration rate is set nationwide, Steiss said, "The university argues that space costs more and the federal government should recognize that and provide us with additional flexibility. "Now they are reviewing our proposal to readjust the proportions," Steiss added. Harrison said he believes it will hurt the U-M more than any other school. Steiss said, "We lost more like 11 or 12 percent," while some schools only lost 2 percent when the indirect cost recovery rates were changed. In addition to the new cost re- covery rate, the Office of Management and Budget made re- visions to Circular A21 - guide- lines that all colleges and universi- ties must follow - defining what costs are allowable to be charged to the government in direct or indirect costs. "They clarified a lot of things that had been vague before," Harrison said. Items that are de- clared as being indirectly related to research must be more defined than in the past, he added.
