2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 9, 1997 NATION/WORLD 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.

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 * RUDTHE NATION 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 request favored by House Government Reform and Oversight Committee Chair Dan Burton, (R-Ind.), but opposed by the Justice Department. threaten U.S. citizens. Included among the 18 additional groups were two affiliated with causes in each of the following nations: Japan, Peru, Greece, and Colombia. Hi h Court onder 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. : Expect More from Your MCAT Preparati OU OWE IT TO YOURSELF to find out all I that you can about how to best prepare for the MCAT.

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.
