2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 22, 1999 NATION/WORLD Albanians, Serbs still holding back settlement RAMBOUILLET, France (AP) - Secretary of 'State Madeleine Albright, making scant headway toward a Kosovo peace settlement, said yesterday that ;"if neither Serbs nor ethnic Albanians accept the six- nation plan, NATO cannot carry through on its threat to attack Serb targets. With a new deadline set for tomorrow, Serb nego- tiators "are not engaging at all" over the critical ques- tion of whether NATO peacekeepers would enforce the settlement, while the Kosovar Albanians must still be persuaded to sign on fully with the plan to give them greater autonomy in the Serb province, Albright said. "Some really earth-shaking decisions are being made, which is why it is difficult," Albright said on CNN after several hours of talking separately with each side. "And these are really decisions between war and peace and life and death." Albright, talking to reporters, declined to explain what was holding up Albanian approval. In fact, she said, U.S. officials thought the Albanians had given her a green light on Saturday. But other U.S. officials said the renewed negotia- tions focused on the Albanians' quest for indepen- dence after the plan's interim three-year period, and the U.S. refusal to endorse independence. And Albright, ruling out any independence referendum in the agreement, said she was looking for a way "the voice of the people" could be expressed in Kosovo. But "if this fails because both parties say no, there will not be bombing of Serbia and we will try to fig- ure out ways of trying to deal with both sides;" she said. AROUNDHENATION Congress may wrestle with bitterness WASHINGTON -They all want to move on. But it won't be easy. As the post-impeachment Congress returns to the smoking battlefield today, it's the lawmakers themselves who will go on trial. They face a stern test of their abil- ity to overcome the most flagrantly partisan period in recent history and work har- moniously on the public agenda.. That challenge is especially daunting for the House, which impeached Presid Clinton in December on a mostly party-line vote after months of sniping betwe n Republicans and Democrats that left many licking their political wounds -- and nursing personal grudges. Those hard feelings have not altogether abated. "It's going to be tough. This has been a very emotional time for a lot of people," said Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.), a conservative who has worked closely with Republicans. "The healing process is going to take a little while before we're going to have any level of trust and confidence in each other." Many House Republicans share Condit's concerns. "Clearly there's going to be antagonism by Democrats toward us," said Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) Still, letting bygones-be-bygones is apt to be the theme at the meeting between congressional leaders and Clinton scheduled for tomorrow at the White Ho* How much impact that will have in the legislative trenches is open to question.

KURDS Continued from Page 1A But the protest along the streets of Ann Arbor was non-violent, consist- ing of local residents - many of Kurdish ethnicity and other support- ers of the Kurdish cause. "We need to send a message to the public in this American city to stop killing Kurds," said Fadil Rawadzy, a Washtenaw Community College student who said he came to the United States after he "escaped from Saddam" Hussein. Protesters said they want students on campus to understand what is taking place in Turkey although it may not affect them directly. "The campus is where students are, and students are the future," protester Zana Zangara said. The protesters passed out litera- ture saying that because Kurdistan was never granted independence after World War I, many of the world's 35 million Kurds reside in Turkey, where the government refus- es to allow the practice of Kurdish culture. "If you speak the Kurdish lan- guage in Turkey you get arrested," said Asad Khailany, a computer information systems professor at Eastern Michigan University. "Yet the U.S. government supplies (Turkey) with unlimited military "Free Kurdistan" sign in one hand and the hand of his 3-year-old son in the other, said he wanted to instill ethnic pride in his son. "The Kurdish people are also peo- ple," Piromari said. "We're here to show the wide world we have the right to live and vote," said Kamaran Zanzana, who helped organize the demonstration. Turkey has taken a hard line against Kurdish demonstrators, arresting more than 1,000 since Ocalan's capture, according to the independent Human Rights Association. Reports said the intelligence agencies of the United States or Israel tipped off Turkey of Ocalan's whereabouts. Israel denies any role, going so far as to publish a statement from the Mossad spy agency on Friday and meeting Kurdish representatives in Germany. Washington officials said the U.S. took no part in Ocalan's capture, but had no comment on whether it helped track him down. The United States, like Turkey, considers Ocalan a terrorist. He is the leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party, which has fought Turkey since 1984 for autonomy in a conflict in the southeast that has killed about 37,000 people. -Daily Staff Reporters Nick Bunkley and Jewel Gopwani contributed to this report. Governors: St out of tobacco deas WASHINGTON - U.S. governors, displaying a united front on an issue crit- ical to their state budgets, plan to urge President Clinton today to halt attempts by the federal government to claim a por- tion of more than $200 billion that states captured last year in a landmark legal settlement with the tobacco industry. One after another, governors who are in Washington for a four-day confer- ence indicated their resolve yesterday to defend their share of the tobacco set- tlement, even though the president has included a major chunk of that same money in his own proposed budget. The only distinctions heard from the assembled state chief executives were of tone, not of substance. California Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, said he would "very polite- ly" ask the president not to take any state proceeds, which for California is projected to total $25 billion over the next quarter century. New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican, said she "violently" opposes any feder- al claim on her state's share. "The governors feel very strongly that this is money that came through a suit brought by the states, not by the federal government," Whitman said, "It should be up to the states how the,. spend the money." Government wants advertising code WASHINGTON - The government is urging advertisers and broadcasters to adopt a system to prevent advertisers from discriminating against radio sta- tions owned by or geared to minority listeners. Vice President Al Gore and Fede1 Communications Commission Ch Bill Kennard are making the pitch today at an advertising conference in New York. Their challenge responds to a report, issued by the FCC last month, that said advertisers often bypass or pay less money to minority-owned radio sta- tions or stations targeting black or Latino/a listeners.

India, Pakistan agree on arsenals, missiles LAHORE, Pakistan - India and Pakistan agreed yesterday to work to reduce the risk of a nuclear war by exchanging strategic information about their arsenals and giving each other advance notice of ballistic-missile tests. The neighboring nations, which have endured a half-century of mutual hos- tility, also pledged to intensify diplo- matic efforts to resolve their central dispute over the Himalayan territory of Kashmir as well as other differences. The talks would include periodic meet- ings between foreign ministers and a proposed visit to India by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The agreements came at the end of a weekend summit in Pakistan's second- largest city, where Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was welcomed with orchestrated friendliness as the first Indian premier to visit Pakistan in a decade. Both countries were eager to make progress on their disputes, partly in response to the international pres- sure that followed their reciprocal nuclear tests last year.. "The two sides shall engage in bilater- al consultations on security concepts and nuclear doctrines, with a view to devel- oping measures for confidence-build in the nuclear and conventional fields aimed at the avoidance of conflict" the countnes said in a joint statement. Orthodox Jews protest supenuarkets JERUSALEM - The battle between Jerusalem's secular and ' gious Jews spread to a newf Saturday: the first supermarket in a Jewish neighborhood to open on the Sabbath.
