Pols vote to outlaw some abortions
WASHINGTON (AP) - Heading toward a new
face-off with President Clinton, the House gave final
approval yesterday to a bill making it illegal for doe-
tors to perform late-term abortions.
Clinton vetoed a similar bill last year. His
spokesperson said, "The president's position has not
changed."
0,The House vote, 296-132, was more than enough to
:tarry a subsequent attempt to override the anticipated
veto.
The Senate has passed the bill twice, but never with
the two-thirds majority required to override vetoes in
the 100-member body.
SSenate Majority Leader Trent Lott, (R-Miss.), said
he believed there was a "real opportunity" this year to
overturn the veto.
However, Rep. Charles Canady (R-Fla.), Bill
H.R. 1122's chief sponsor, sounded less opti-
mistic. "We face a battle in the Senate," he said
after the vote.
House members repeated emotional but familiar
arguments during two hours of debate. In the end, 217
Republicans joined 79 Democrats to approve the
Senate-passed bill. Voting against it were 123
Democrats, eight Republicans and one independent.
Six members did not vote.
Supporters of the ban said the procedure is
"heinous," comparable to infanticide, and that there is
no medically justifiable reason to use it.
Democrats countered

U.S. adds 18 groups
to terrorist list
WASHINGTON -- The Clinton
administration yesterday designated 18
additional foreign political organizations
as terrorist-supporting groups, a move
that makes it a felony for U.S. citizens to
give them funds or other support and
bars all their leaders and members from
travel within the United States.
The sanctions were imposed by
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright,
who told reporters she wanted to help
make the United States a "no support
for terrorism zone." But several civil
liberties groups denounced the 1996
law on which her action was based and
said the decision abridaed constitution-
al rights of free speech and association.
The 18 foreign groups named yester-
day were added to 12 groups that were
subjected to sinilar sanctions by
President Clinton in 1995, under an
executive order specifically aimed at
organizations he said were opposed to
the Middle East peace process and
engaged in terrorist activities that

Fund-raisers to testify against Clinton
WASHINGTON - The House opened its own campaign
finance hearings yesterday by announcing that two former
Democratic fund-raisers are prepared to testify that Bill
Clinton's 1992 campaign provided an endorsement to a candi-
date for political office in Asia in exchange for a $50,000 con-
tribution.
Gene and Nora Lum, who have already been convicted of
making illegal contributions to Democratic candidates, could
offer evidence that would expand the focus of investigative
attention from Clinton's 1996 re-election effort to his initial
race for the White House. Clinton
The Lums, a Long Beach, Calif., couple, are prepared to tes-
tify that "an individual" offered to give a large contribution to the Democrats in
1992 if the Clinton-Gore campaign would endorse the candidacy of an Asian
politician, who investigators say may have been South Korean President Kin
Young Sam.
But the Lums will testify only if they are granted immunity from prosecutic

Included among the 18 additional
groups were two affiliated with causes
in each of the following nations: Japan,
Peru, Greece, and Colombia.

po ltical debate
WASHINGTON - The Supreme
Court engaged in a spirited exchange
over televised political debates yester-
day, with Chief Justice William
Rehnquist asking whether write-in can-
didate "Willie Wacko" must be invited.
Lawyers for the Clinton administra-
tion and a state-owned Arkansas tel#
sion network argued that government-
owned stations should not be forced to
invite candidates not deemed "news-
worthy."
However, Kelly Shackelford, a
lawyer for a former American Nazi
Party member not invited to join other
congressional candidates in a 1992
Arkansas debate, said government
should not be trusted to make such
judgments.

Hussein says Hamas
sought peace talks
JERUSALEM - In a disclosure
certain to further embarrass the Israeli
government over a spy case gone awry,
King Hussein of Jordan said yesterday
that he told Israel two days before it
sent hit men to kill a Hamas leader that
the militant Islamic movement was
ready to consider a dialogue with
Israel.
The king's statement, which revealed
new details about the botched operation,
seemed intended to keep up the pressure
on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu to refrain from any repetition
of a case that has sparked outrage in
Israel and abroad. A spokesperson for
the prime minister said the king's letter
had arrived too late.
The failed assassination Sept. 25 led
to the capture of two Israeli intelligence
agents and their subsequent exchange
for Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, who spent eight years in an
Israeli prison but returned to Gaza in
triumph this week.
The king's comments, in a lengthy
speech in Amman, appeared to reflect
his continuing anger over Israel's deci-
sion to launch the assassination attempt
on Jordanian soil.
