2 -The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 29, 1996 NATION/WORLD U.S. announces anti-terrorism plans w _ t: b, a0 WASHINGTON (AP) - An emer- gency plan to ease Israel's restrictions on Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza was adopted yesterday and an- nounced by the Clinton administration. Israel will permit construction mate- rial and Egyptian trucks to pass through checkpoints so that people in hard- tressed Gaza can get back to work. citrus and other exports from the terri- :ories will be shipped to the outside' world from Israel and Jordan. - Secretary of State Warren Christopher -4nnounced the plan at the opening of a vo-day conference of 27 nations called 4prevent terrorism in Israel. -The plan, which also includes an emergency meeting of donor nations to e called in the next few days, responds to parallel pleas from European allies and the Palestinian Authority to con- sider the impact of the security mea- sures taken by Israel after a series of deadly suicide bombings. Christopher telephoned Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to obtain their ap- proval before making the announcement. He also called Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland of Norway to re- quest the emergency meeting. Having played a pivotal role in arranging the 1993 mutual recognition of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, Norway heads a group that coordinates economic assistance to the West Bank and Gaza. Referring to the campaign against terrorism, which had been billed as the main topic of the conference at the State Department, Christopher said: "We must restore an environment in which negotiations can again move forward and agreement can be reached." "The merchants ofterror" be defeated, but also "we must find ways to support the Palestinian people as they, too, suf- fer the consequences of the Hamas bombings," he said. Peres had responded to the spate of terrorism by blocking entry to Israel of most Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. All four suicide bombers who killed 58people and wounded doz- ens of others had slipped through, rais- ing questions in Israel about Peres' will- ingness to depend on Arafat's Palestin- I. 54 a Don't Panic!

Seeking election in May, Peres also cracked down by blowing up the homes of the families of suspected or convicted Palestinian terrorists and authorizinghun- dreds ofarrests, including many Palestin- ians who had been released from prison by the Israeli government. Arafat's Palestinian Authority claimed the Israeli measures had thrown 60,000 people out of work and were costing the territories $6 million a day in lost wages and trade. The Clinton administration initially held firm in supporting Israel and in- sisting the emphasis should be on curb- ing terrorism. But Europeans echoed the Arabs' anger, and the thrust of the conference shifted dramatically. ISRAtL Continued from Page 1. Former Shin Bet chief Carmi Gilon was named directly responsible and his failure was compared to that of the army chief before the 1973 Yom Kip- pur War when Israel was caught un- aware by Arab forces. Gilon, who ironically was the Shin Bet's top expert on Jewish radicals and had warned of a growing danger from Israel's extreme right, was looking for warnings "instead of pre-empting and being ready," the committee said. It said the agency failed to adequately share with police and bodyguards the intelligence it had about Jewish right- wing extremists who wanted Rabin dead. Many of the bodyguards and police at the rally did not know of assassina- tion warnings, it noted. The report recommended that police and the Shin Bet better coordinate events where senior officials had to be pro- tected and that intelligence information be better distributed. It also said Gilon did not closely supervise his division heads, giving them too much autonomy. Gilon stepped down in January, im- mediately after the slaying of Yehiya Ayyash, the No. I Islamic terrorist wanted by Israel. The assassination, widely attributed to Israel but never acknowledged, was seen as an effort to restore some of the agency's luster. But it appeared to trigger the recent series of revenge attacks by Ayyash's followers. Four suicide-bombings claimed by the Islamic militant Hamas group since Feb. 25 killed 62 people in Israel, leaving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in disarray. Gilon accepted responsibility yester- day but said the commission did not adequately acknowledge the difficul- ties of preventing attacks by Jewish extremists. Rabin was killed by Amir, a 25-year- old law student, as he left a Tel Aviv peace rally and headed toward his wait- ing car. Amir passed two bodyguards as he walked up to the prime minister and then fired three bullets. An amateur video shows Amir stand- ing next to several police officers, who did not seem to question his presence in the supposedly secure area. There were reports the officers assumed Amir was a Shin Bet agent. The three-member commission, headed by former Supreme Court Chief Justice Meir Shamgar, was appointed by the government after the killing. It held 61 meetings, heard 72 witnesses and published 214 pages of findings as well as a secret, 118-page annex deal- ing with Shin Bet methods. Strict security measures are now en- forced for ministers, some of whom have received death threats. The mea- sures prevent them from mingling with the public during campaigning for the May 29 elections. U El Criminals n public housing to be evicted WASHINGTON - President Clinton ordered eviction yesterday for anyone committing a violent or drug- related crime in public housing, de- claring a "one strike and you're out" rule was needed to make such hous- ing safe. The president signed a directive or- dering Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros to issue national guidelines for housing authorities to incorporate the policy through tenant screening and lease agreements. The policy means any resident could be evicted for being involved in a drug- related or violent crime, or for allowing a guest to take part in those activities. Conceivably, a family could be left homeless by the actions of one of its members. "For some, one strike and you're out sounds likehardball. Well,it is," Clinton said. "If you mess up your community, you have to turn in your key. There is no reason in the world to put the rights of a criminal before those of a child who British beef problem spreads to mainland BRUSSELS, Belgium-Britain'sbeef crisis is spilling over to the European continent, where Germans, Italians and others fearful of mad cow disease are shunning even home-grown meat and sending beef prices plummeting. Yesterday, wholesale beef prices were down 50 percent in Paris, and supermarket sales in Portugal dropped by 40 percent. Sales were off by 25 percent in Italy, 30 percent in Spain and 60 percent in Greece. "It's deathly quiet in the market," said Hansjoerg Uhl, chief of the main slaughterhouse in Munich, Germany. The German farmers' association said consumerdemand forbeef had dropped by 30-35 percent. "I'll probably stick to pork and other meats for a while at least," said Walter Schlecht, a school teacher from Dettingen, Germany, although he con- ceded: "Like everything else, it will wear off." In Dublin, Ireland, wholesale butcher Declan Gahan said he was worried be- House Republicans pass line-item veto WASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled House passed a flurry of legislation yesterday to finish up the campaign promises made in the "Contract with America," and GOP leaders hailed their work as a record of accomplishment that would surely impress voters in the fall. The frenetic day - and night - of legislative activity reflected the effort by congressional Republican leaders to repair the damage done to their image whe their bruising budget battle with President Clinton resulted in two governmenr shutdowns. Polls showed the public mostly blamed Republicans for that. "We're going to have an outstanding record," Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R- Kan.) told ajoint meeting of House and Senate Republicans. "When we take a look at the record, it's going to be probably a do-too-much Congress instead of do-nothing." At times Dole's commitment to the "Contract with America," devised for the 1994 congressional campaign by then-House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich (R- Ga.), was questioned by some House Republicans when House-passed measures languished in the Senate. And Clinton was successful in rallying public opinion against House provisions that eased environmental regulations and took dramati- cally scaled back Medicare spending. But yesterday, Dole sought to embrace the Contract. wants to grow up safe." The policy drew mixed reviews from public housing residents. "I think it's outrageous. Peoplede- serve more than one chance," said Patricia Williams, 40, a mother of six who lives in a public housing develop- ment in southwest Washington. Date: Place: House Republicans back new health bill 0 Wednesday, April 10th Michigan State University Time: 7 - 9 PM Call 1-800-KAP-TEST now & reserve your spot! get a higher score KAPLAN WASHINGTON - Looking forsuc- cess where President Clinton failed, House Republicans pushed for passage last night of legislation to guarantee access to health insurance to millionsdf Americans who lose or leave theirjobs. But the measure contained several other provisions that drew fire from t1 White House and Democratic critics, including limits on medical malprac- tice awards and creation of a system of tax-deductible, individual savings ac- counts to cover medical expenses. House passage would send the bill to the Senate, where Majority Leader Bob Dole, the GOP presidential nominee- in-waiting, has scheduled debate for next month on a more modest measure cause his customers "have definitely turned away from beef." In Paris, at least one butcher appeared to be doing better. "I always come here because the owner recites the biography of the bee he's selling me," a customer told t newspaper Liberation. Japan approves new leases or U.S. bases TOKYO - Ending a battle that pit vital national interests against passion- ate local ones, Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto signed documents yesterday forcing local landowners renew leases essential for U.S. militay bases on the island of Okinawa. Hashimoto stepped in to sign the documents after Okinawa Gov. Masahide Ota rejected a court order earlier this week commanding him to sign the contracts. Ota has said he will appeal the case to the Supreme Court on Monday. The lawsuit was first filed last De- cember by Tomiichi Murayama, who was then prime minister. - From Daily wire services Sure you deserve some fun this summer after your hard work this academic year.
