The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 8, 1993 - 7 .Welfare reforms begin to *take shape WASHINGTON (AP)---Reform- ing welfare is now such apopularidea that Republicans are racing to beat President Clinton to the punch while moderate Democrats press the White House to overhaul the system in time for their 1994 campaigns. House Republicans just finished their version of welfare reform legis- latlon and plan to introduce the 154- page bill Wednesday. It would end welfare to most non-citizens, require mothers who apply for assistance to identify their child's father, and limit lifetime benefits to two years. Centrist Democrats, meanwhile, have sent notice to a White House that needs their votes that they intend to help the president keep his campaign *promises to impose time limits and work requirements. "We want him to know that he does not have to back down and settle for window dressing around the edges and leave the dry rot to continue to weaken the entire structure," said Rep. Nathan Deal (D-Ga.). Moderate Democrats say the ad- ministration is under pressure from liberals and the welfare bureaucracy that runs welfare programs from Washington to the counties and cities to back away from sweeping change. "What you have is activist groups ... who don't find fault with the exist- ing system," said Rep. Eric Fingerhut (D-Ohio) who once managed a job placement and training program for welfare recipients in Cleveland. "They're an important and respected *onstituency in the Democratic Party and have great ability to influence the debate." Hopes for peace surround Jordan's first multiparty election in 37,years AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -Candi- dates made last-minute appeals Sat- urday for votes in Jordan's first multiparty elections since 1956, in which proponents of peace with Is- rael are expected to retain a majority in parliament. Today's elections come after Is- raeli officials confirmed over the weekend that Jordan and Israel are close to reaching a peace agreement. King Hussein has not yet made any public comment. While Muslim fundamentalists are expected to win the single largest bloc in the 80-seat lower house of parliament, conservative and tribal members who support Hussein'spro- peace policy are expected to keep a majority of seats. The bicameral legislature must ratify any peace agreement, although Hussein retains ultimate authority with the power to dissolve parliament and rule by decree. The 40-seat upper house is appointed by Hussein and normally backs him. Jordan and Israel signed an agenda for peace talks on Sept.14, aday after Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization reached a peace accord that provides for Palestinian self-rule in the occupied territories. But while peace has played a role in campaigns, Jordanians appearmore concerned with poverty and unem- ployment. The country is straining under a $6.5 billion foreign debt and $4 billion in losses stemming from 1990-91 Gulf crisis, when trade with Iraq, Jordan's biggest trading partner, was blocked. For the most part the campaign ended peacefully. Police briefly de- tained a Muslim fundamentalist can- didate after he and supporters roughed up two members of a moderate Is- lamic party, the state-run Petra news agency said. Candidates-held rallies, passed out fliers and pounded the pavement to win support in this nation of 3.9 mil- lion people. The fundamentalist Muslim Broth- erhood and leftist groups oppose the U.S.-backed peace process. The Brotherhood advocates Israel's de- struction while the leftists say the process has failed to provide for a Palestinian state. Both groups appear to have failed to turn their opposition into an elec- tion winner, even though half the population is of Palestinian descent. Analysts said the lineup in the parlia- ment was unlikely to change much. The Brotherhood had 22 seats in the outgoing parliament. It was a thorn in the side of the government, but the chamber largely backed Hussein. The left is split among communists, Baathists and pan-Arab nationalists.
