tential partners to expand its reach,
Trester said.
"We need to be a part of managed
care networks in all the markets in
Michigan," he said. "Nationally, we're
going through a period of massive con-
solidation and integration of health care
systems. For us, it is link or die, net-
work or die." ~
Trester would not identify who the
University is talking to, but said new
discussions will "go on the frontburner."
Unlike the University, Conolly said
Mission Health does not need to estab-
lish a statewide system to survive be-
cause the Daughters of Charity's and
Sisters of Mercy's existing networks
are so extensive. As a result, Mission
Health will not look for other merger
opportunities.
"Our mission is to improve the health
of the people we serve, and our focus
will be on our immediate communi-
ties," Conolly said. "Our model is that
of a regional health services network."

Dayton treaty not
subject to revisions,
U.S. officials say
NATIONAL REPORT
Whitewater prosecutors expand in
WASHINGTON - Whitewater prosecutors have ex-
panded their investigation to examine donations two Arkan-
sas bankers made to Bill Clinton's 1990 gubernatorial cam-
paign. The bankers are waging a secret court battle to fight
subpoenas for their records, lawyers said.
In a step approved by a federal appeals court in late
July, prosecutors are investigating whether $7,000 from
the families of Herby Branscum Jr. and Robert M. Hill
came from federally insured funds at their bank, the
lawyers said.
Attorneys for Branscum and Hill deny there was any Clinton
misuse of bank funds.
The Whitewater investigation's original interest in Clinton's 1990 campaign
focused on Bruce Lindsey, a longtime friend of the President who was the
campaign treasurer then and now is a top White House aide.
Perry County Bank in Perryville, Ark., which is owned by Branscum and Hill,
is where Lindsey kept the 1990 campaign accounts.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Day-
ton treaty on Bosnia is final, senior
American officials said yesterday in
rejecting demands from Bosnian Serbs
that provisions relating to the future of
Sarajevo be changed.
"We are not going to renegotiate this
agreement," Defense Secretary Will-
iam Perry said of the pact worked out
last week in Dayton, Ohio, with the
presidents of Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia.
Perry, chief U.S. negotiator Richard
Holbrooke and National Security Ad-
viser Anthony Lake appeared on Sun-
day news programs as a prelude to
President Clinton's speech tonight in
which he hopes to win public and con-
gressional support for his Bosniapolicy.
Congressional Republicans have led
the opposition to Clinton's plans to
contribute 20,000 U.S. ground forces to
a 60,000-member NATO peacekeep-
ing force. But two key Republicans on
the Senate Armed Services Committee
suggested that the traditional tendency
of Congress to follow the president's
lead on major foreign policy issues
might again prevail.
Congress hasn't defied a President
on military matters since it cut off fund-
ing for the bombing in Cambodia in
1974, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said
on CBS's "Face the Nation." "I think
the President can make the case."
Thousands of Bosnian Serbs in the
. capital of Sarajevo have protested the
peace accord, which cedes control of
their sector of the city to the Muslim-
Croat federation. Bosnian Serb Presi-
dent Radovan Karadzic said yesterday
that "a new solution for Sarajevo must
be found" and that in the meantime,
Serbs would not withdraw their troops.
Perry, also appearing on CBS, said
such protests were expected, but stressed
that the terms of the treaty are final and
that "we fully expect that there will be
compliance" from the Serbs as well as
the other parties.
Holbrooke, an assistant secretary of
state, also insisted on NBC's "Meet the
Press" that the Serb leadership has ac-
cepted the pact. "Dayton was an initial-
ing, Paris will be a signing. There will
be no change between Dayton and
Paris."
Lake, speaking on ABC's "This Week
With David Brinkley," said that the
Paris meeting to formally sign the ac-
cord would take place in mid-Decem-
ber and that U.S. troops could be in
Bosnia a few days after that.
The three administration officials,
echoing Clinton's Saturday radio ad-
dress, were also united in their message
that American values were at stake in
the commitment to join NATO in keep-
ing peace in Bosnia.
"Our values really are at stake here,"
Lake said, saying that in addition to
maintaining the integrity of NATO and
stopping the war from spreadingto other
countries, Americans can't turn their
backs on the reality that half the people
in Bosnia have either been uprooted
from their homes or killed since the
civil strife began more than three years
ago.
"Throughout history American soldiers
have been called upon to take risks, to
protect those values," Perry said.
McCain and Sen. John Warner of
Virginia, two Republicans who have
strongly opposed U.S. involvement on
the ground and who carry considerable
weight on defense matters, both pledged
to keep an open mind when Clinton
takes his case to Congress.
Warner, appearing on NBC, sug-
gested that approval was possible with
the addition of some limiting condi-
tions. He also stressed that there could
be no repeat of the mission in Somalia,
when the killing of 18 American troops
in a firefight in 1993 hastened the U.S.
withdrawal from that country.
"If we go, we've got to remain, we've
got to sustain the casualties," he said.
"There can be no cut-and-run if we
endure casualties. That's got to be made
very, very clear from the outset."
A Democrat who has been skeptical
of U.S. involvement, Sen. Bob Kerrey
ofNebraska, said on ABC that he would
probably support the President. "I think
the future of Europe is at stake," he
said.
But he, too, warned that America
must be prepared to accept the risks.
"We cannot ask our soldiers to be cou-
rageous if our politicians are not."
Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas, a Repub-
lican presidential candidate who was a
guest on ABC, was adamant in his op-
position to Clinton's policy and what
he said was an "unworkable" agree-
ment. "I don't think he has made the
case. Foreign policy is not social work."
AIDS

Rosenberg calculated.
The numbers probably have not
changed much since 1993, primarily
because it takes so long for HIV to kill
an individual, said John Ward, an AIDS
expert with the CDC.
And the numbers aren't a surprise-
AIDS' death toll indicates fairly accu-
rately how widespread HIV infection
is, said Cornelius Baker of the National
Association of People With AIDS.
The study puts HIV in better terms to
make the average American understand
its real and growing threat, Baker said.
"I don't think most people really get
it, that infection is a potential for them,"
Baker said. "We have to be clear: Right
now ... if you get HIV in your 20s, you
will die by around 40 years old."
This week, the CDC is expected to
unveil new measures to try to get that
message to young Americans.
The government recently announced
that AIDS appeared to be leveling off,
with 40,000 new infections every year
balanced by about 40,000 annual deaths.
Rosenberg said his study counters that
optimism - because the apparent pla-
teaudisguisesthe increasedriskto younger
Americans.Only young white men have
seen a drop in new infections in recent
years, while the risk has increased for
young minorities and women.
The CDC has counted 501,310 AIDS
cases since 1981 and 311,381 deaths.
As of 1993, between 630,000 and
897,000 Americans were alive with
HIV, Rosenberg said.
The human immunodeficiency virus,
or HIV, is the virus that leads to AIDS.
GOP drops plan to
cut legal imgrants'
higher education aid
NEW YORK - After protests from
colleges and universities, congressional
Republicans have backed off a plan to
deny higher education aid to legal im-
migrants.
GOP welfare legislation would limit,
and in some cases deny, the right of
legal aliens to receive most kinds of
federal aid, including food stamps,
Medicaid and short-term child welfare.
But after protests from campuses that
education was not welfare, a House-
Senate conference committee decided
last week to drop the proposed ban on
immigrants receiving Pell grants, which
provide aid to college students, The
New York Times reported yesterday.
Much of the pressure came from col-
leges and universities in states with
large numbers ofimmigrants, especially
California, Florida and New York, be-
cause they feared the limits would cost
them students.
"Education is a fundamental tool of
being successful, and everyone should
have access to it," said Rep. E. Clay
Shaw (R-Fla.).
The conference members decided in-
stead to require that immigrants have a
citizen co-sign theirfederal college loans.
Still included in the welfare legisla-
tion, however, is a plan to limit access
to the Head Start preschool program for
legal aliens.
Stores get mixed
holiday message
Consumers sent retailers a mixed
message at the start of this holiday
season: They hit the stores without
spending a lot.
Analysts expect this to be one of the
toughest Christmas seasons in years.
Consumers uncertain about the
economy and their own finances al-
ready owe billions to credit card com-
panies and banks.
Thanksgiving weekend sales, the tra-
ditional first hint of the season's flavor,
were strong for household items.
Pragmatic consumers, if they bought
personal gifts, were choosing small items
like perfume and cosmetics, or those
with long-term value like jewelry.

Ireland votes to
legalize divorce
DUBLIN, Ireland - Defying the
wishes of their church as never before,
Irish voters decided to legalize divorce,
but only by the narrowest of margins.
The first count Saturday was so close
- 50.2 percent in favor of amending
the constitution to 49.8 percent opposed
- that Ireland's chief election official
ordered an immediate recount. The re-
sults of that count showed a slightly
higher "Yes" vote: 50.3 percent.
The margin was only 9,118 votes out
ofmorethan 1.62 millioncast in Friday's
referendum. Turnout was put at 61 per-
cent.
Ireland was the only country in the
Western world to ban divorce, and lift-
ing the prohibition marks the country's
sharpest break with its Roman Catholic
traditions.
Appeals by Pople John Paul II and
Mother Teresa spearheaded the cam-
paign against the referendum in Ire-
land, where 92 percent of the 3.5 mil-
lion citizens are baptized Catholics.
The amendment was to take effect
immediately, allowing divorces for
couples who have been separated for at
least four of the previous five years and
can show "no reasonable prospect of a
reconciliation."
Israeli planes bomb
S. Lebanon bases
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon - Israeli
warplanes bombed guerrilla bases in
southern Lebanon on yesterday, fol-
lowing overnight ground battles that
left one guerrilla dead, security sources
said.
Two Israeli jets attacked guerrilla
strongholds in the highlands of Iqlim
Al-Tuffah in three sorties, said sources,
who spoke on condition of anonymity.
At least one explosion could be heard
after each swoop in the area, just north
of an Israeli-held zone in south Leba-
non. Israel has occupied the zone since
1985 to protect its northern towns from
cross-border guerrilla raids.
There was no immediate word on
casualties from the bombing.
Iqlim AI-Tuffah is a stronghold of the
Iranian-backed Shiite Muslim Hezbollah,
which is leading a violent campaign
against Israeli forces in the zone.
