one of the few Clinton foreign policy
initiatives developed almost entirely
within the White House and the Na-
tional Security Council. rather than
through the inter-agency search for
consensus this administration nor-
mally favors.
According to U.S. and Irish Repub-
lic officials. Clinton overrode State
Deparment reservations because se-
nior White House aides, including na-
tional security adviser Anthony Lake
and National Security Council staff di-
rector Nancy Soderg.convinced him
the IRA was ready to end its 25-year
campaign of anti-British violence in
Northern Ireland.
Soderberg was formerly a foreign
policy aide to Sen.EdwardM. Kenned-
(D-Massachusens). who has a long-
standing interest in Irish affairs.
Many officials from the Irish Re-
public, as well as more moderate po-
litical figures in British-ruled North-
ern Ireland, have said Clinton's deci-
sion to grant that initial visa was cru-
cial in enabling Adams to convince
IRA militants that good beha.ior and
Deaceful gestures would be rew arded.

LOS ANGELES - For a second
straight day. veteran defense lawyer
F. Lee Bailey hammered away at the
prosecution's star police witness,
seeking to show that the detective
tripped himself up in his zeal to frame
O.J. Simpson for double murder.
Challenging Detective Mark
Fuhrman's credibility with methodi-
cal. precise questions. Bailey sought
to open potential holes in Fuhrman's
testimony about what he did and why
he did it in the early-morning hours
following the murders of Nicole
Brown Simpson and Ronald L.
Goldman.
But the renowned cross-examiner
failed to shake the cool and collected
witness from his basic story - that he
found a bloody glove on a rear walk-
w ay of Simpson's estate that matched
another glove found at the murder
site. And Fuhrman dodged a wily
legal trap that Bailey laid toward the
end of the day that could have al-
lowed the defense lawyer to make a
broader attack on Fuhrman's charac-
ter than Judge Lance A. Ito so far has
allow ed.,
Ito had ruled previously that Bailey
could ask Fuhrman about Kathleen
Bell. a real estate agent who has al-
leged Fuhrman made racially charged
remarks to her some 10 years ago. But
Ito has prohibited the defense from
asking Fuhrman about other allega-
tions of racist comments or behavior
in his past.
Bailee tried to coax Fuhrman into
mentioning the other allegations by
asking him about the topics of coach-
ing sessions he had with prosecutors
before testifying. "Irrelevant evi-
dence" was one of the subjects,
Fuhrman replied. Bailey seized on
that. asking, "What irrelevant evi-
dence was going to be brought in?"
Ito asked the jurors to leave the
room, met with lawyers and then let
Fuhrman answer. The detective said,
"Kathleen Bell."Ito was satisfied with
the answer and let Fuhrman repeat it
when the jury returned. Had Fuhrman
mentioned other matters - for ex-
ample. his allegedly racist statements

NATIONAL REPORT
Reno concludes Cisneros lied to FBI
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Janet Reno has
concluded that Housing and Urban Development Secretary
Henry Cisneros lied to the FBI about payments to his former
mistress. Linda Medlar. and asked a three-judge panel to
appoint an independent counsel to determine whether he
criminally concealed information or conspired with Medlar
to do so.
In court documents released yesterday, Reno said a five-
month Justice Department review determined Cisneros told
the FBI before his Cabinet confirmation that he had never
paid Medlar more than "S2.500 at a time. and no more than Cisneros
S10,000 per year. when in fact, many of his payments were
substantially larger. and the yearly totals were between $42.000 and S60.000."
Cisneros told reporters at a news conference yesterday that he did not intend
to resign as HUD secretary, and "although I am disappointed" by Reno's
decision, "I ... affirm once again that I have at no point violated the public's
trust,.

defense questioning yesterday.
during a failed effort to win disability
retirement from the police force --he
would have opened the door for Bailey
to pursue these issues in court.
Bailey then showed the predomi-
nately black jury a letter written to the
defense by Bell in which she alleges
that Fuhrman referred to African
Americans as "niggers" and said he
would fabricate a reason, if neces-
sary, for pulling over a vehicle driven
by a "nigger" and a white woman.
OJ. Simpson is Black and his ex-wife
Nicole Simpson was white.
The jury first saw the letter last
week when prosecutor Marcia Clark
introduced it in opening Fuhrman's
testimony. As he did then, Fuhrman
yesterday denied ever meeting Bell
or making the comments.
Fuhrman has remained unflap-
pable during two days of
Bailey's aggressive grilling. But
Bailey tried to show jurors that
Fuhrman's cool was calculated by
quizzing him about the preparation
he had received from prosecutors
during a mock session held in an
empty grand jury room at the court-
house.
Non-resident
wins Alaska
ditarod race
NOME. Alaska(AP)- A rancher
from Montana became the first non-
resident of Alaska to win the Iditarod
Trail Sled Dog Race, mushing his
nine dogs across the finish line mid-
yesterday.
Doug Singley. from Simms. Mont.,
had to jump off his sled and guide the
dogs partway down Nome's Front Street
when they became confused by the
cheering crowds. They crossed the fin-
ish line at 12:43 p.m.. with an official
time of 9 days. 2 hours and 43 minutes
for the 1.100-mile race.
"That's a personal victory for
my self because I'xe got a lot of com-
petitors in the Lower 48," he said.
"Now I don't have to worry about it
any more.
Martin Buser of Bi Lake. Alaska.
last year's winner and the favorite
this year. was in second place. six
hours off Swingley's pace.
Trail conditions and weather were
near-perfect for the entire 23rd
Iditarod, favoring Swingley's choice
of dogs.
"This just played into my hands in
trying to train a really fast, fast dog
team~ he said. "I just decided that
(Buser) was beating us by having a
team that would lope whenever the
trail conditions warranted it. So we
set out to do that.,

U.S. oil production
deals banned in Iran
WASHINGTON - President
Clinton yesterday banned American
companies from producing oil in Iran,
thus blocking Houston-based Conoco
Inc.'s deal to develop two of that
country's Persian Gulf oil fields.
The White House and Conoco said
that the company agreed to terminate
its contract with Iran if an executive
order was issued. Edgar Bronfman Sr.,
a key member of the board of directors
of DuPont Co., Conoco's parent com-
pany. had lobbied vigorously on Capi-
tol Hill against the deal.
White House spokesman Michael
McCurry said yesterday that Clinton's
order was meant to continue the U.S.
policy of isolating Iran economically
because of its support for international
terrorism. its efforts to undermine
Middle East peace talks and its pursuit
of weapons of mass destruction.
"We need to send a clear and un-
equivocal message to Iran: There can-
not be normal relations until Iran's un-
Croatian leader to
meet with President
ZAGREB. Croatia - Croatian
President Franjo Tudjman is expected
to meet tomorrow with President
Clinton and later in the week with
U.N. Secretary-General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali to work out details of a
continued U.N. troop deployment in
Croatia.
The high-profile American visit is
seen as a pay-back to Tudjman for
reversing his decision to expel 12,000
U.N. peacekeepers in his country,
thereby possibly averting a new round
of fighting between Croats and rebel
Serbs.
But a key condition for Tudjman's
change of heart could make it extremely
difficult for the United States and other
members of the U.N. Security Council
to come up with a revamped U.N.
mission that will be acceptable to all
sides. United Nations and diplomatic
sources say.
Tudjman's demand that U.N. troops
control major Croatian border crossings
with Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
would require a dramatically stepped-
up U.N. posture and could increase
chancesofarmedconflictinvolvingU.N.
troops. a senior U.N. military official in
acceptable behavior changes.: he said.
McCurry said that allowing U.S.
companies to finance or manage the
development ofIran's natural resources
would add to its economic capacity and
thus "its economic and financial
strength." a result at odds with U.S.
polic.
California rain ends;
long cleanup ahead
CASTROVILLE. Calif. - Resi-
dents of the "Artichoke Capital of the
World" surveyed their mudcaked town
yesterday and found sodden furniture
and possibly contaminated water.
The scene was replayed in nearby
Pajaro, in the streets of San Jose. in
swamped Salinas Valley farmland and
beneath towering redwoods along the
Russian River to the north as a break in
weeklong rains gave California's flood
victims a chance to take stock and start
the cleanup.
The storms. the second round of
flooding to slam California in less than
three months. were blamed for at least
14 deaths.
Zagreb said yesterday.
It ups the ante and significantly
changes the U.N. mandate." the U.N.
Protection Force source said. "It is a
much more combative position."
Canada battleswith
EU over 'fish genocide'
TORONTO - Canada's self-des-
ignated role as enforcer of fish conser-
vationon the highseashas triggeredan
escalating confrontation with the Eu-
ropean Union.
It already has featured machine-
gun fire on the North Atlantic. Cana-
dian seizure of a Spanish fishing
boat in international waters and
hyperventilated rhetoric on two con-
tinents.
The Europeans call the Canadians
"pirates." The Canadians accuse the
Spanish offish genocide." Yesterday,
European Union officials thunderedon
about Canada's "wave of terror" and
Spain imposed visa restrictions on Ca-
nadian tourists.
Meanwhile, Brian Tobin,
Canada's top fisheries official,
warned the Spanish that he would
"take whatever enforcement mea-
sures are necessary." if their fishing
fleet'returns to contested waters.
