-I! 2-- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 31, 1995 U.S. negotiator denounces move by Congress WASHINGTON (AP) - Heading into Bosnian peace talks "without any assurance of success," U.S. mediator Richard Holbrooke denounced a move in Congress to restrict using American 'troops to help enforce a settlement. "It would weaken the United States," :Holbrooke said yesterday of a resolu- tion backed by up to 100 House mem- bers. "This kind of resolution is ex- tremely unhelpful," he said as he left for Dayton, Ohio, where negotiations open tomorrow. At a news conference, Holbrooke said his chances ofpersuading the presi- dents of Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia to reach an agreement heavily depended on showing "some American and allied leadership." But on Capitol Hill, the nonbinding resolution sponsored chiefly by two Persian Gulf War veterans, Reps. Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) and Paul McHale (D-Pa.), asserted the negotiations should not be based on a "presump- tion" U.S. ground troops would be deployed in Bosnia. It also said Presi- dent Clinton should have Congress' approval first. "The premise is dangerous and ill- .conceived," Buyer said in an interview ,after Holbrooke had denounced the reso- jution. "We've heard a lot of extremist language coming out of the administra- tion. U.S. troops should not be a pre- condition to a peace agreement." McHale, in a separate interview, said the Constitution apparently was "an inconvenience" to Holbrooke in his zeal ,to make peace in the former Yugoslav ,republic. Airman Colin Hover works on security lights yesterday behind the Bachelor livingv Quarter where members of the peace talks will be staying near Dayton, Ohio. But, McHale said, "when there is no imminent threat to the national secu- rity of the United States, the President is both wise and required by the Con- stitution to seek congressional autho- rization." Similarly, House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) told reporters: "It would be nice if the President told us what he intended to do and asked our advice before he did it." And Senate Republican leader Bob Dole of Kansas said "the President ought to persuade you, the American people." But Holbrooke said there could be no peace in Bosnia without U.S. troops under NATO command and prepared to retaliate instantly if attacked. He rejected any comparisons to Viet- nam, where he worked as a foreign service officer. "We are not going to send people into war," he said. "We are going to send Americans into peace." The negotiations will bring to Wright- Patterson Air Force Base Presidents Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia, Franjo Tudjman of Croatia and Alija Izetbegovic of Bosnia. "If Dayton does not succeed, the country will slip back to war," Holbrooke said. Secretary of State Warren Christo- pher is to meet with the three Balkan leaders tomorrow and outline U.S. ob- jectives. Holbrooke will then take over and present a draft peace treaty and American proposals on a half-dozen critical issues, including separation of warring factions and delineation of the territory to be controlled by two ethnic entities - one Bosnian Serb and the other under combined Muslim-Croat control. "It is going to be very, very hard to get peace agreements in Dayton," Holbrooke said. Dutch: Troops not at fault for fall of Srebrenica The W ashington Post THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The Dutch government yesterday absolved its U.N. peacekeepers in Bosnia-Herzegovina of wrongdo- ing in the fall of Srebrenica to the Bosnian Serbs, which resulted in some of the worst atrocities seen in Europe since World War II. Dutch officials said other nations must share blame for failing to provide enough troops to protect the U.N.- designated "safe area." Defense Minister Joris Voorhoeve said an intensive three-month inves- tigation showed that the 460 lightly armed Dutch soldiers serving in the Srebrenica enclavein eastern Bosnia last July were overwhelmed by at- tacking Bosnian Serb forces and thus helpless to prevent the subse- quent slaughter of thousands of Muslim men and the forced depor- tation of 25,000 women, children and elderly. The exoneration seems bound to escalate a debate in a nation that cherishes an altruistic tradition of serving as a moral conscience and fighting in the vanguard against famine, illiteracy and genocide. On a per-capita basis, the Netherlands donates more than any other nation to Third World development, and is the leading contributor to U.N. peacekeeping and humanitarian aid missions. But that heroic image has been badly tarnished by accumulating evi- dence that Dutch troops stood aside as executions, rapes and expulsions on a massive scale took place last summer in an enclave they were sworn to protect. NAnIONAiL New evidence found for 'gay gene' NEW YORK - Scientists have found new evidence that a gene inherited from mothers helps influence whether a man is homosexual, bolstering a study that made headlines in 1993. "Our result says that genes are involved in male sexual orientation, although they certainly do not determine a person's sexual orientation," said Dean Hamer. an author of the study. "There probably are other biological factors like hormones, for example, and other variables we simply don't know anything about yet." The study follows others that have suggested a biological influence in sexual orientation, but scientists still can't explain what makes a person homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual. The latest study does not identify a specific gene. But like Hamer's 1993 study, it suggests such a gene resides in a particular region of the X chromosome, one of the microscopic thread-like structures that carry genes. Men inherit the X chromo- some from their mothers. Hamer, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute, reports the work in the November issue of the journal Nature Genetics.

PRETORIA, South Africa - With hints of rebellion in the military and thinly veiled threats of right-wing vio- lence, the case of Magnus Malan has ignited strong feelings on both sides of the color line in South Africa. The decision to prosecute Malan, the country's defense minister from 1981- 90, for apartheid-era murders will test the depth of national reconciliation. The case also raises serious ques- tions about the stability of Nelson Mandela's government after 18 months in power and the willingness of white South Africans, who retain dispropor- tionate economic and military power, to see their former leaders in the dock. The government announced Sunday that Malan and 10 other former officers will be arrested Thursday for allegedly helping set up a hit squad accused of killing 13 relatives of a pro-African National Congress activist - includ- ing six children. Malan's supporters argued the ANC was breaking its implicit deal with white-minority officials: If whites sur- rendered power peacefully, they would not be persecuted for acts carried out under apartheid. IOR L D The ANC responsed that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to be set up later this year, could grant am- nesty to Malan and the others in the interest of national reconciliation. But it said the criminal justice system must be allowed to function until then. Ja esecult loses religious status TOKYO - A court ordered yester- day that Aum Supreme Truth, the cult accused of attacking the Tokyo sub- ways with poison gas last spring, be stripped of its status as a religious orga- nization. While not directly addressing Aum's role in the subway terror, the court found the Aum organization guilty of producing sarin, the deadly nerve gas that killed 11 and sickened more than 5,500 in the March 20 attack. Never before in postwar Japan has a court ordered the revocation of a reli- gious organization's status on grounds of criminal activity. The district court decision is the first step toward confiscation of Aum's as- sets. That would deal a severe blow to the group's ability to function as a dis- ciplined organization. Followers would still have the constitutionally protected right to engage in religious practices. - From Daily wire services HGloe eSSa GUINN-S 338 S.
