Froilan, Jesse, Teno blame one another for NMI's problems plan--No takeover."

IN A FORUM that did not allow for· quick rebuttals and dealt mainly on the candidates' views on the issues, each of the three gubernatorial aspirants on Satur­day stressed his platform's "uniqueness" and claimed that his two opponents' are of "the same stripe."

Republican candidate and former governor Pedro P. Tenorio blamed the administration of Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio and Lt. Gov. Jesus C. Borja for the CNMI's current problems, saying that dur­ing his eight years as governor, "consensus and compromise worked."

Borja, the Independent candi-

date, countered that both his op­ponents have made numerous promises that have not been kept.

He said while the Republican Tenorio could have resolved the labor and immigration concerns first raised by the federal govern­ment in 1986, the incumbent gov­ernor "only made things worse."

But it was the Democratic Party's candidate, Gov. Tenorio, who elicited an applause from the audience when he said, "I always felt I'm a different kind of gover­nor."

Unlike the Republican Tenorio and Borja, Gov. Tenorio said he does not only say things "voters expect from candidates."

Variety News Staff GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio has withdrawn the nomination of Howard Willens as special judge.

Like Borja, the governor said the CNMI is still "paying" for the problems inherited from the Re­publican Tenorio's administra­tion.

AN OVERSTAYING Chinese national has managed to flee from a tightly-guarded government de­tention center by kicking off a window grill late last week, it was learned.

The detainee apparently es­caped to be reunited with his wife, allegedly also an overstayer, and their child.

Labor and Immigration Secre­tary Thomas 0. Sablan identified the escapee as a certain Xi Quang He, who is being held along with

ment of the sea- and airports of Tinian.

Board chair Victor Hocog said there was a reservation on the part of the legislators from Tinian to sign an agreement that would make Tinian pay about $60 mil­lion of the loan. · "There's not much we can do at this point int time," a resigned Hocog told the board meeting.

"It is the consensus of the board

two fellow Chinese nationals and two Filipinos, all of whom are scheduled to be deported this week.

"He (Xi) kicked the window then ran at the backside," Sablan said.

"We are looking for him." Xi was arrested early this month

in Koblerville. He fled DOLi's detention center at about 9 a.m. Thursday.

"The reason why he (Xi) prob­ably escaped is that he has a son and a wife," said Sablan. ·

Their suffering at the hands of Japan's Imperial Anny was immor­talized long ago in the cla~sic film, "The Bridge On The River Kwai." But their remains were sent home after World War II, delaying any effort to build a memorial for them there.

That changed Sunday, when U.S. Ambassador William Itoh unveiled a new memorial to America's forgotten prisoners - a plaque that now stands next to the infamous bridge.

r-----------------~~-~--~-,---------------------i Tenorio: 'That's it' for Haitai proposal

Froilan _C. Tenorio

By Zaldy Damian Variety News Staff

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio on Saturday said he will neither amend nor resubmit Haitai Development's proposal fora$21 million new prison facility which was rejected Thursday by the House of Representatives.

''If the federal government inquires about it, I would say the Legislature didn't do anytliing about it," he said, referring to tlie concerns raised over tlie "overcrowding" at Saipan 's jail facility.

ButSpeakerDiegoT. Benavente (R-Saipan) in a privilege speech Thursday said the threat of pos­sible lawsuit arising from the cur­rent overcrowding at Saipan 's prison facility should not be an excuse for approving a construc­tion proposal tliat did not go through the bidding process.

By rejecting the proposal, Benavente said the House is telling

the administn,tion to bid out the project.

Rep. Michael P. Tenorio (R­Saipan), for his part, saidHaitai should be told that the CNMI "doesn't even know where to get the money" to p;iy for tl1e construction.

Under Haitai 's proposal, the South Korean company will finance 90per­cent of the const:mction cost which tlie CNMI will repay at an annual interest of 7 .5 percent.

The proposal got another lease of life when the Department of Public Works (DPW) extended recently the deadline for legislative approval.

The deadline, which was already moved from Aug. 7 to Sept 6, was extended for another 150 days.

Haitai 's proposal was already con­sidered "dead" when the House and the Senate did not schedule a session more than a week ago.

Botli the Public Auditor's Office (OPA)andtheDepartmentofPublic Safety (DPS), which oversees the local prison facility, have stated that the contn1cl fortlie project should go tlirough the bidding process.

Senate Majority Leader Thomas P. Villagomez (R-Saipan), in a ses­sion Tuesday, said an independent architectural and design estimate placed tl1e cost for the new prison facility at $12 million, or $9 million less tlian Haitai's estimate.

He said he will ask the U.S. Interior Departmcnttoprovideacostanalysis and tlie funding for tlie project.

What if you reformed labor, but Washington and the national media didn't care?

T here's an important story to be told about

the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, but as we've learned very well, particularly in the past couple of years, we can't count onAJlen Stayman at the Interior Department's Office of Insular Affairs to tell it honestly.

The story is simply this. After years of pressure, starting a long, long time ago, my administrabtn has actually gone ahead with reorganization and reform of CNMJ labor and immigration. And that is not what was done before. Of course, Mr. Stayman reminded usofthishistoryanumberoftimes as part of the justification for his proposed federal takeover of our labor and immigration controls.

If anyone wonders why our present relationship with the Interior Department is so tense, they have only to look at that history. Sure, for years our elected officials were willing to sit down and Lalk with federal officials as some are promising to do right now. Reforms were always promised, but when our representatives came home, nothing happened with labor and imm..igration. This did not go unnoticed.

!..<?t me take you on a brief stroll

FROM THE GOVERNOR'S DESK I MANAHANTE PARA HAMYO/LEADERSHIP

FOR THE PEOPLE

down memory lane to 1993 when I took office. The labor office was then und!;rthe Department of Commerce and Labor and Immigration was under the Attorney general. There were separate staffs, records, permits and review processes. You had to feel sorry for the workers who had to clean out piles of mildewed, cockroach infested records from the old office. It had been that. way for many, many years. It was, in a word, a mess and anyone who was an employer then will tell you the same thing. The process worked about as well as the filing system.

By the way, federal officials, some of who now want to take over our labor controls, weren't doing their job either. Although we never disputed the fact that federal labor laws outside of the U.S. minimum wage apply here, the U.S. Department of Labor had no presence and OSHA was only an occasional visitor, to

mention only a few who were shirking their duties.

Since we will not have an adequate supply of local workers to nm our economy, even at its present pace for many years, if forever, it was imperative that we straighten out our labor matters in our own best interest and not just to please Washington. Reorganization, administrative reforms and a comprehensive system for keeping track of non-resident workers have gone into this effort. And more is to come with a new package of labor reform legislation.

I am proud to say too, that thanks to our repeated insistence, some of the relevant federal agencies now are on hand, to meet their obligation to enforce federal laws, even though performance for some is still spotty at best.

Our comrnitmer,t and action in cleaning up labor problems and

immigration problems was quite clear by last November and I am sure that is why during his visit at that time, Mr. Stayman described our relationship with Washington as "good" and suggested that we wouldn't have to worry about a federal takeover of exactly the sort Lliat is now being proposed to the U.S. Congress.

But something changed at the Office oflnsular Affairs (OJA) and so did some positions. Our own Resident Representative to Washington has suggesled that Mr. Stayman had to change his report to Congress to fit the "takeover" letter signed by the President, in order to hold onto his job. It became clear that the real issue wasn't "human rights" or the lack of labor reform in the CNMI, but the pressure being applied to the administration by garment industry unions and other parties to shut down this industry.

While I have never welcomed intrusions by the OIA in our local self-government, I feel that OJA should at least give an honest accounting of what we are doing to the U.S. Congress and the American people. That hasn't been the case, in either Interior's (possibly amended) report to Congress suddenly declaring that

our reform efforts a total failure or in its continuing effort to blacken the reputation of the CNMI by steering well programmed "investigative" reporters to our shores.

In the latest instance, the TV tabloid show Inside Edition just spent "five months" with hidden cameras exposing sloppy housekeepi:Jg at a local garment factory barracks. Who says the paparazzi just take pictures of Princess Di? If you think local reform efforts, the responsibilities of the federal government and various other issues get mentioned in reports like this, forget it! I guess some other branch of the paparazzi writes this kind of TV script. ·

I hope that someday Mr. Stayman has an opportunity to testify as to how much time and taxpayer money his office has spent manipulating the media and other federal agencies against the CNMI as opposed to promoting the interests of the U.S. citizens who live here. Meanwhile, our labor reforms will continue, with or without the participation of OJA and regardless of whether they get a single mention in the national media.

Dan Aguilar wants payment of BSA wages done at DOLi

By Jojo Dass Variety News Staff

THE DEPARTMENT of La­bor and Immigration may have to wind down operations of Benavente Security Agency due to alleged violations and millions of dollars in unpaid wages.

This developed after a meet­ing conducted by DOLi Ad­ministrative Hearing Office Supervisor Linn Asper on the case Friday turned sour when DOLi Counsel Dan Aguilar moved that the next scheduled payday - Sept. 22nd - be held at DOLi for increased supervision.

Aguilar made the proposal citing the disorganized man­ner by which payments were made to the Bangladeshi work­ers during the Aug. 25th pay­day that DOLi and a represen­tative from the U.S. labor de­partment monitored.

"There was no objective way of knowing whether people were really paid properly," Aguilar said.

In fact, there neither seems to be an objective way of knowing how much is due to each worker in backwages and why, as BSA owner, Antonio Benavente, in that hearing said, payments due for last Sept. 8th was to actually be released on the 22nd.

"You (Benavente) haven't been able to meet your obliga­tions for a long time and all 1 'm getting is the kind of talk I've heard as a judge for many years from insolvent people who arc trying to stave off the inevitable collapse of their business," said

a visibly piqued Asper. Asper favored Aguilar's mo­

tion, a move that irritated Benavente.

"It (Asper's interim ruling up­holding Aguilar's move) is fine with me. But I really feel like I'm being ireated as a dishonest person," said Benavente.

"You (Benavente) should bring the money here and we'll check them off one at a time," insisted Asper.

"I have no problems with that. I just don't feel like I'm trusted here," replied Benavente.

"I certainly don't trust you. You 're not acting in a trustwor­thy way," slammed Asper.

"This is an embarassment," Benavente said, recoiling,

A meeting has been ;et for Sept 19th to tackle, with final­ity, how much is due to .each workers in backwages, and to establish what to do with the 61 Bangladeshi workers whose per­mits have expired yet have re­mained with BSA.

Asper moved that Benavente obtain the necessary bonding to renew the 61 or send a list of these workers names so that their repatriation process could commence.

Asper also moved to have BSA workers file complaints as they wish, so they can be granted Temporary Work Authoriza­tions.

DOU is of the position that BSA 's nearly 200 Bangladeshi workers be sent home once their work permit expires since Benavente, Asper said. "'doesn't have the means to renew them."

"We need to downsize BSA," said a DOLi officii\i.

Governor will consult US State on labor bill

By Zaldy Dandan Variety News Staff

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio said Saturday that he will consult the U.S. State Dcpar1ment before acting on the bill that would allow CNMI employers to hire Filipino workers even without getting a clearance from the Philippine Con­sulate, as required by current regu­lations.

Tenorio said it is the U.S. State Depm1ment that has jurisdiction on matters involving the CNMI's foreign relations.

"The State might tell us to stay out of it," he said. "But come to think of it, I'll get their opinion about the (bill)."

Meanwhile, he added, "based on the information I now have, I will veto the bill."

"I don't think we can dictate what the Philippine government's labor policy should be," he said.

"If we want to get workers from the Philippines, we have to comply with their requirements."

House Bill I 0-427 now heads to the governor after the House of Representative on Friday passed the Senate version of the bill.

The bill would scrap the require­ment that local employers hiring Filipino workers should first get clearance from tlie Philippine Con-

Froi/an C. Tenorio

sulate. Likewise, any such requirement

involving any nationality of non­resident workers would be prohib­ited.

The passage of the bill came in the wake of the Philippine government's recent decision to process on! y em ploymenl contracts that assure free board and lodging for Filipino workers.

Passed unanimously by both the House and the Senate, H.B. 10-427 states that allowing foreign govern­ments to process labor applications is an "unconstitutional delegation" of CNMl law to a foreign state.

Noting that foreign affairs is under the authority of the federal government, the bill states that

Variety News Staff CARDIOVASCULAR disease is cwrently the number one ~use of death among the indigenous r:op.ila­tion in the CNMI, according to the D!partmentolPublicHealthServices.

/samu J. Abraham

By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

DEPARTMENT of Public Health Secretary Isamu J. Abraham has urged Rep. Maria T. Peter to help DPHS instead of continuously "at­tacking" the department.

Abraham in an interview Fri­day said Peter as chairperson of the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) should assist DPHS in working out solutions to problems and needs rather than blocking the department's "efforts at every tum."

"What disturbs us very much is the Chair's (Peter) ongoing nega­tive attack on this department. We find it difficult to compre-

TAURUS JOETEN MOTORS FORD MOTOR COMPANY

25th Anniversary " 1-c'.i ._ _______________________ _.l!l

hend the role she is assuming," Abraham stated.

The lawmaker had criticized Abraham over the delay of the establishment of a Hemodialysis Building, saying the DPHS' rea­sons for not being able to proceed on time with the project "are ex­tremely weak and inexcusable."

Peter's criticism came in re­sponse to a Variety story last Monday which had Abraham warning Commonwealth Health Center may not be able to treat all patients needing dialysis because of the increasing rate in the num­ber of people seeking treatment.

To address the problem, the Sec­retary has been soliciting support from the Legislature to retain the cun·ently appropriated $.8 mil­lion intended for the construction of the building.

Reacting to Peter's statement, Abraham said DPHS wishes to repeat its grave concern about the manner the HEW chairperson handles health-related issues and needs.

Abraham said the congresswoman's communica­tion to them on the hemodialysis issue was not necessary, asDPHS already outlined the needs to the Legislature.

The secretary, however, hailed Rep. Ana Teregeyo whose efforts enable the DPHS to obligate the $840,000 without a piece of leg­islation to extend it.

In a letter Thursday to House Speaker Diego T. Benavente, Abraham explained that because of the controversy sun-ounding the line item veto, they were not quite sure whetherthe $.8 million which was crossed out remained intact or not.

He said it was not until the middle of February l 997 that DPHS received formal notice that the fund was still intact.

"During that time, my deputy secretary for Hospital Adminis­tration, Mr. Greg Calvo, worked

Maria T. Peter

with engineers from the Depart­ment of Public Works (DPW) to develop initial plans for the ex­pansion," he said.

By April I 997, Abraham pointed out, Calvo and DPW de­veloped at least three plans, which were reviewed by the government's consultant from the Renal Treatment Center in Hono­lulu.

After DPW modified the floor plan, Calvo approved it and re­quested DPW to proceed with the final architectural and engineer­ing drawings, he said.

"From all indications, it appears that Public Works may not be able to complete the drawings before the end of FY I 997. For this reason, we are asking that PL 10-4 I be amended so that we will not lose the money urgently need~d to complete this project," explained the secretary.

Abraham emphasized .that DPHS is not asking for an in­crease in funding, but more time to complete the drawings for the expansion program and imple­ment the services.

Last February, Peter and Abraham also "clashed" over medical refen-al procedure issue in which the lawmaker, suspect­ing favoritism, sought a review of the refen-al policy.

Abraham denied condoning fa­voritism and questioned Peter's source of information on patients' confidential medical records.

FCC bars GTA's entry into NMI

People have asked me: What exactly does the Board of Education do?

nm FEDERAL Communications Commission in Washington D.C. has bruTed the Guam Telephone Author­ity from entering the CNMI commu­nications mm"ket.

The FCC order hm1ded down last week lumed down a bid by GTA to have the FCC declare as unlawful Guam laws and regulations which appm-ently prevent GT A from pro­viding Personal Communications Services or PCS in the Common­wealth.

111eFCCrnlingislikelytobar-at least for the p1-esent -GT A from offering PCS or other communica­tions services he1-e.

In 1996, GTA successfully bid $191,191 for one of several PCS IicensesintheCNMiandwasawarded a license by the FCC. During the auction process, Sen. ThomasC. Ada of the Guam Legis!arure questioned GTA 's authority to participate in an auction fora license in theCNMiand, as Chahman of the Committee on Water, Utilities and Electronic Com­munications of tl1e Guam Legisla­ture, convened an oversight hearing on the matter.

In October I 996, Ada filed a law­suit against GT A, its Board and Gen­eral Manager in the Superior Court of Guam claimingthatunderGuarn law,

GTA is not pennitted to conduct business in the CNMI.

GTA then filed a petition with tl1e FCC asking that it declare unlawful ,my Guam laws or regulations which would prevent it from conducting business as a PCS provider in the CNMI.

Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's office fo1mally opposed GT A's filing with the FCC,callingforitsdismissal. The Govemor's Office also pointed out that GTA 's status as a govemment­fun<led entity would give it an unfair competitive advantage in tl1e CNMI market IT&E also opposed GTA's filing.

In its four-page order, tl1e FCC threw out the GTA petition, saying it couldnotactbecauseGTAhadfailed to identify any pmticulru· Guam law or r-egulation which the FCC should declare unlawful.

PCS is a new wireless, digital tele­phone technology which is cmrently beingdeployed throughout tl1e world. PCS is generally less costly than cel­lular technology, mid handsets 1-e­ceivc clear-er signals than eel Julartele­phones.

PCS is expected to be deployed in the near future in the CNMI and wilJ dir-ectly compete with cellular ser­vice.

Bill wants names of sex off enders publicized

ELECT

· ~La~~c~,J BOARD OF ED~C~~;~~ 0

'~ ~' By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

LEGISLATORS from the Lower House want the names and addresses of sex offenders publicized as a way of warning and protecting the public.

House Bill No. I 0-272 requiring all persons convicted of sex crimes to registerwith the police was passed on first and final reading Friday.

The bill also mandates that the community be notified about the lo­cation of these offenders to ensure public safety.

The bill now goes to the Senate for its approval.

Noting that the recidivism rate of sex offenders "is high," the legisla­tur-e said it was taldng the "extraordi­nary" measure of resl!icting sex of­fenders even after they had served their criminal sentence through tl1c rcgis1I:1tion system to help law en­forcement agencies in the investiga­tion of sex crimes.

Sex offenders c,m be tl1ose con­victed of an offense of a sexual natur-e against a minor or of a sexually vio­lent offense, or tl1ose known to be violent sexual ''predators.''

A criminal offense against a minor may consist of kidnaping, false im­prisonment, criminal sexual conduct, solicitation to engage in sexual con­duct, usingaminorinasexual perfor­mance, solicitation to pmctice prosti­tution, and any conduct that by irn nature is a sexual offense against a minor.

One of the bill's bases was tl1e US Sexually Violent Offender Regisu·a­tion Act providing forthe 1-egistrntion of offenders mid community notifi­cation of their location.

The bill requires the Public Safety commissioner to notify the

community of an offender's lo­cation when public safety requires it.

Notification may be made tl1rough mail, personally, or through the me­dia, the bill states.

House OKs bill to restrict tour businesses .to US citizens only By Ferdie de la Torre

Variety News Staff THE MARIANAS. Garment Manufacturing, Inc. said the De­partment of Labor and Immigra­tion should stop harassing the company.

MGM, through counsel Joseph E. Horey, said even if it had pro­vided DOU Secretary Thomas 0. Sablan the payroll records he had asked, Sablan "is really less interested in the documents than he is in harassing and punishing MGM."

In MGM's opposition filed Friday in the Superior Court to Sablan 's motion for contempt, Horey said the garment firm has long since made its 1990-1992 payroll records available to plaintiff (Sablan) through dis­covery.

"Moreover, if plaintiff wanted, as he now claims, to 'analyze' the later payroll records, all he had to do was obtain them from the in­dependent monitor Deloitte and Touche, who has been receiving and analyzing them continually since the very beginning of this case," said the lawyer.

Instead, Horey stated, Sablan 's first instinct was to seize upon MGM's failure to provide the documents directly to him as an an excuse to seek contempt.

In 1992 DOU sued MGM de­manding millions of dollars in unpaid wages to the factory's for­eign workers.

DQLI, through counsel Assis­tant Atty. Gen. Robert Goldberg, moved to hold MGM in contempt for allegedly failing to provide payroll records and I ists of de­parting workers as required un­der the terms of the stipulated preliminary injunction entered on Nov. 27, 1992.

MGM denied DOLi's state­ment that after the June 26, 1997 meeting the firm has not pro­vided any payroll registers.

Horey said MGM has provided DOU with the records for each and every pay period since that meeting and has received plaintiff's stamp verifying the delivery.

Horey pointed out that MGM should not be held in contempt for any failure to provide the docu­ments before the meeting of June 26 because Sablan's agreement with such "talks" has waived his right to object to any such failure.

In early 1993, the lawyer said, there were still hundreds of work­ers at MGM who had been work­ing there during the time period at issue in the suit-1990 through 1992.

"These workers were indeed fact witnesses to MGM's pay­ment practices during the relevant time period, and there was there-

fore some logical reason for plain­tiff to want to conduct exit inter­views with them," he said.

Once the factory shut down, however, those workers went back home to China, and when the factory finaIJy reopened at the end of the year I 993, it was with a new staff of workers, who were not fact witnesses, said the lawyer.

Horey said plaintiff therefore has not been prejudiced in any way by any failure of MGM to provide departing worker lists at any time in the last four years.

He added that DOU refused to allow MGM to hire replace­ment workers for most of the year 1993, with the result that MGM was forced to shut down manufacturing operations dur­ing that time.

"Plaintiff's injuries resulting from MGM's failure to provide certain documents were nil. On the other hand, MGM's injuries resulting form the forced shut­down of its factory were enor­mous," Horey said.

DESPITE a possible conflict with the U.S. Consti!l.ition, the House of RepresentativesonFriday passeda bill that would allow only U.S. citi-zcnsornationalsto operate tourism­related recreational businesses.

Sho,rtly re fore the vote was taken on the bill, Speaker Diego T. Benavente (R-~aipan) told mem­bers Iha( the proposed law may ''infringe''onthetJ.S,Constitution's I 4th Amendment, which states, among other things, that no State" shall <!eprive any person of life, JibeitY, or piof)erty, with?ut •.. due p~ss of law; nor deny to any pet!,011 withinits jurisdiction . the t'Cjllal protection oflaws."

But citing the need to pmtect the interestsoftheCNMI' s local people, Benavente >said the House should take the risk of a future court chal­lenge illldpass the bill.

House Majority leader Pete P. Reyes (R-Saipan), for hls part, said doing business in the CNMI is not a

right but a privilege, "and we can regulate privileges."

He said the bill woold "address the nagging problems with alien wOikers," adding that the labor aooses are often committed by foreign companies.

All of the 15 memrers present voted for the bill, which now goes to the Senate.

Introduced by Rep_ Manuel A. Tenorio (R-Saipan), House Bill l Q! 295 states that only c.ompanies that i.s 51-percent-ownedby U.S.citi:zensor nationalsshou Id be allowed to rent or leasescubaru,dsnorkelinggear, wind SUifmg boards, parasails, water ski,

School choice plan pushed education. The public edu­cation bureaucracy and the White House don't,'' Riggs said. "But these special 111-

terests and the White House need to ask themselves why they are really against pro­viding poor children and those

most at risk with choice. We cannot afford to write off another generation of our school children."

WASHINGTON (AP)- Par­ents want lawmakers to cut red tape. inject more money directly into classrooms and given them the freedom to ;hoose where to send their children to school - and I-louse Republicans plan to offer them just that, a Cali­fornia lawmaker pledged Sat­urday.

Riggs said recent studies indicate that support for char­ter schools is increasing. Those schools are usually publicly funded but exempt from pub­lic school regulations, allow­ing them to-experiment with teaching methods not used in public schools.

. . .

Cisneros' ex-mistress charged

Making a pitch for charter schools in the weekly GOP radio address, Rep. Frank Riggs, R-Calif., said students often get a better education when their parents get to pick where they go.

"When schools are account­able to parents who have the freedom to choose where chil­dren are educated, they will become good schools," he said. ''The public school sys­tem will reform itself only when parents are able to choose the schools that they think are best able to educate their children."

"Low-income families in particular are telling us that they must have choice in edu­cation - they're right. There's no excuse for keeping children in failing and unsafe schools," he said.

Federal support for paren­tal choice in education is nothing new, Riggs said. The government already invests money in public and private facilities that house early­childhood programs. It also shells out money "at the other end of the education spectrum" for federal scholarships, grants, loans and veterans ben­efits like the GI Bill.

By Mark Babineck LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -

Prosecutors have indicted the former mistress of ex-Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros on charges that she took part in a money laundering scheme and misled a grand jury.

Linda Jones, 48, was in­dicted Friday on 26 counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, money laundering and ob­struction of a special counsel's investigation

Her sister, Patsy Wooten, 55, and brother-in-law, Allen Wooten, 58, were also indicted on the same charges, except for eight obstruction counts that name only Ms. Jones.

Cisneros, who was not named in the indictment, is the subject of an independent counsel in­vestigation into allegations he lied to the FBI during a back­ground check about payments he made to Ms. Jones.

Cisneros served as housing secretary during President Clinton's first term and is now president of the Univision tele­vision network.

The Wootens are accused of acting as "straw purchasers" when they obtained a loan and bought a Lubbock house in early 1993 for Ms. Jones. Prosecu­tors say the Woolens lied to Plains National Bank of Lub­bock by claiming they were

going to live in the home. By 1995, Ms. Jones had be­

come unable to keep up with mortgage payments after Cisneros and others stopped pro­viding money, the indictment says. She subsequently rented out and sold the house at a profit, then moved in with her mother.

U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno has concluded that Cisneros paid Ms. Jones be­tween $48,000 · and $60,000 annually from 1990-93.

During a background check, Cisneros had told the FBI that the amounts were much lower, spurring Ms. Reno to initiate the investigation by indepen­dent counsel David Barrett in March 1995.

Ed Page, an attorney on Barrett's staff, announced the indictment Friday but declined to answer questions. Cisneros declined to comment.

Ms. Jones also is accused of misleading the grand jury by lying about whether she had prov.ided original tape record­ings of conversations she had with Cisneros and others. : She is also accused of lying to the IRS about whether the taped conversations were copies or originals.

In November 1995, Barrett granted Ms. Jones immunity in exchange for information. But Ms. Jones failed to "live up to her end of the bargain" by misleading FBI special agents, Barrett said.

If convicted of the most se­rious charge of money launder­ing, the three would face 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Additionally,· the obstruc­tion counts carry up to 75 years in prison and $2 million in fines.

Ms. Jones has said she and Cisneros, then San Antonio mayor, began their romantic re­lationship in March 1987, three months after she became a fund raiser for him. Cisneros acknowledged the relationship in 1988, then reconciled with his wife.

Cisneros began making monthly $4,000 payments to Ms. Jones in 1990, she said. Ms. Jones filed a breach of contract lawsuit after the payments stopped in 1993, and the two agreed to a $49,000 settlement in May 1995, vowing to remain silent on the issue.

The Associated Press was unable to reach Ms. Jones, whose number was not listed in Lubbock, or the Wootens, whose telephone was unan­swered Friday. Ms. Jones was known as Linda Medlar until she went back to her maiden name.

Gin · ch: 'Ban abortion' By Ron Fournier

A 11..Al\TA(AP)-T1yingtomend tiestohisChristianconservativebase, House Speaker Newt Gingiich on Saturday condemned abo1tion, 1eli­gious persecution and ~ial lawyers playing .. litigation lotte1y" with to­bacco lawsuits.

He was a feanired speaker at the Christian Coalition's "Road to Vic­trny" conference that dnc:w five other Republicans mulling presidential bids -Rep. John K,t,ich ofOhio, Lamar Alexander.Steve Forbes.Alan Keyes and Sen. John Ashcroft of Missomi.

TI1e House speaker, once die dm·­ling of the conservative movement, promised to pass the so-called pmtial-biith abo1tion ban again and darePresidentClintontovetoitagain.

"I hope ... the president will 1e­verse. his position and recognize how morally wrong it is," Gingrich said, drawing polite applause from 2,000 staunch anti-abo1tion activists.

Other speakers spoke with more outrageand emotion-and1eceived mote rousing receptions.

Forbes, \Vhosc fuzzy stance on abortion hurt his 1996 presidential bid, told d1e m1ti-abo1tion crowd, .. Remember, life begins at concep­tion and ends at naniral death."

Keyes, a failed 1996 candidate,

Newt Gingrich

shouted to the audience, "Stop killing the babies."

Ashcroft, a former Missou1i gov­ernor, salted d1e sparse late-night crowd with young suppo1ters. They jumped to their feet when he said, "We must end the mindless slaying and bmtality of abortion."

In keeping with the conference's pro-family theme,Gingiichsaidany government-backed settlementwith tobacco companies also should in­clude crackdowns on teen-age dtug and alcohol use.

Saying he was shocked by the size oflegal fees in m1 $1 1.3 billion settle­ment by the state of Flotida, Gingiich pretlicted that Congress would re­quire attorneys to account for hours

they billed their clients in lawsuits against tobacco companies. -'This is not going to be a litigation

lottery for tl1c ernichment of law­yers," he said.

Gingiich faced a skeptical audi­ence. Two dozen inte1views with these staunch Ch1istim1 conserva­tives revealed that while Gingiich is still 1espected - if not loved - for engineering the Republican takeover of Washington, he has disappointed diem.

They said Gingiich too often talks about Washington process instead of moral values, seeks consensus with President Clinton and d.mgs Repub­licans into lopsided fights-such a.~ his opposition to the disaster relief bill.

''Basically, he's held in high es­teem," said Bill Beckman, a golf club maker from Lake Mills, Wis. "It's just that we sometimes want to say, 'Come on, Newt, take off the silk gloves and put on the boxing gloves."'

Sitting across from Beckman, Cheri Reinke of Douglasville, Ga, said of her fellow Georgian, "I think he's kind of taken a step back. I'm very disappointed. He came on strong but he hasn'tmanagedtodowhathesaid he would do."

set the tone Friday night, when he told an opening-night crowd that the Republican Congress is "fixated on process" and have ''lost d1eir dhec­tion."

Randy Tate, the organization's new executive director, also had hm,h words for the GOP leadership. '111ey are not addressing the issues that are impo1tant to our folks."

It is not easy to put a finger on what bothers Christian Coalition members about Gingiich. He sup­ports most of their legislative pack­age - banning prutial-birth abor­tions, allowing federal money to pay for private school tuition and a fight against religious persecution.

"We are going to advocate it and be for it," Gingiich said of a bill that could lead to sanctions against coun­!lies that persecute Christians.

'They don't just want to be given cmmbs off the table and taken for granted,"Tate said. "I do feel in some instances we have been taken for

gnmted." With Gingiich 's political base so

shaky-and hisstandinginnational pollssolow-many potentialGOP presidential candidates are distanc­ing themselves from him.

Forbes, speaking just before Gingrich, said,"Our congressional leade1,hip is neck-deep in compro­mise, captive to itsdoubt,-inserud1 of its soul."

One by one, the potential cmidi­dates pm-aded before the religious 1ight and its powerful lobby.

Kasich, a budget expert, said his "broad portfolio" included moral is­sue embraced by the Christian Coali­tion. "It's about old-fashioned val­ues," he said in a speech intel'!Upted several times by applause.

Presidential politics aside, the conference was designed to rally grassroots activists to help the Christian Coalition weather fed­eral investigations and a change in leadership.

T Clinton 'cozies' up with Black Caucus

By Sandra Sobieraj

WASHINGTON (AP) - Paper­ing over bitter differences on drng sentencing and education for at least one night, President Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus celebrated their common ground Saturday in the fight against con­servatives.

"There is still too much poverty . .. too much discrimination, too much to do," Clinton told a black­tie gala. "Down to the last day of my presidency I will be there with you, working with you, fighting for an equality we can all share to­gether."

Rep. Maxine Waters, a Califor­nia Democrat who is the caucus chairinan and often an outspoken critic of some administration poli­cies, shared the stage with Clinton, noting that she doesn't always agree with her mother, either.

"We don't always agree, but the president is a friend," she said.

Bill Clinton

"Would I rather work with him than (Ronald) Reagan or (George) Bush or Newt Gingrich or any of those mher right-wing

consetvatives? You bet your bottom dollar I would.''

Vice President Al Gore joined the party at Washington's Union Station, where James Brown was performing. Thevicepresidentsaid the nation "needs the Congres-

sional Black Caucus to be the conscience of the Congress."

Clinton thanked the caucus for making a lifelong dream come true: "I am the opening act for James Brown."

The festivities capped the 27th annual legislative conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Opening several days of meetings last week, Waters reit­erated her in-itation over Clinton's decision to maintain sentencing disparities for cocaine offenders.

Critics say the stiffer mandatory sentencing for possession of crack cocaine vs. powdered cocaine unfairly discriminates against black offenders.

Waters also voiced frustration that Clinton, in his budget negotia­tions with congressional Republi­cans, agreed to drop the "measly $5 billion" that caucus members sought to repair dilapidated schools in mostly urban areas.

Its name means "SHARK". Just one test drive and you'll be hooked.

MONDO RF-LES-BAINS, Lux­embourg(AP)-European Union finance ministers said Saturday that exchange rates for cuITencies re­placed by the euro will be an­nounced next spring.

TI1e statement reflected growing confidence that the planned man-

"Delay? That subject is closed. Nobody talks about it any more," said Belgian Finance Minister Philippe Maystadt.

TI1ere were fears that the euro would be postponed because of slumping European economies.

But new data showing Germany and other nations on course to meet the euro 's conditions of low defi­cits, debts and inflation have eased such anxieties.

the monetary union. The rates will be permanently

locked, and letting currency deal­ers know them in advance should boost stability in markets during the runup to the euro' s launch, officials said.

"The earlier announcement is a political signal to the markets," said Geiman Central Bank Gover­nor Hans Tietmeyer. "It gives se­curity to the markets."

The two-day meeting of EU finance ministers and central bankers in this spa and casino resort astride the Luxembourg­France border also produced broad agreement on the need to coordinate economic and taxa­tion policies before and after the euro's kickoff.

But key details on that coordi­nation were left unclear.

France suggested a new body made up of nations adopting the euro, but Germany and others fear such a body could lead to political

interference in the work of the Eu­ropean Central Bank, which is be­ing set up in Frankfurt.

And nations that don't immedi­ately adopt the euro - such as Denmark or Greece - fear being marginalized by any such "euro­council."

For taxation policy, the minis­ters agreed to draw up a "code of

. conduct" to discourage members from undercutting neighbors with big tax breaks to lure foreign in­vestment.

"We want to end unfair fiscal competition," said Belgian Minis­ter Philippe Maystadt. "We are in agreement on the principle of a code of good behavior."

1But many nations oppose giv­ing the EU a role in controlling national tax levels,particularly Brit­ain, Ireland and Luxembourg, which have used lower taxes to draw investors. They stressed the code of conduct would not be le­gally binding.

Swiss act ~o preempt 'Chaos Day' BERN, Switzerland (AP)-Po­lice arrested 140 skinheads and punk rockers in an attempt to pre­vent rioting from breaking out Saturday.

Organizers of "Chaos Days" had issued invitations on the Internet to tum the picturesque and sleepy Swiss capi'tal into "rubble and ashes."

By midday Saturday, 140 people had been detained, 90 of whom were later released and ordered out of Bern, police said.

Foreigners-mainly from Ger­many and France - were es­corted to the Swiss border by police.

It was the first time Bem was chosen as the site of "Chaos Days." The gathering of punk rockers and skinheads originated in the early '80s as a music festi­val in Germany.

After riots and looting in pre­vious years in the city of Hanover, German police have clamped down on the event.

Virgin Mary 'sighting' sparks riots in Egypt

By Mae Ghalwash SHENTENAEL-HAGAR,Egypt (AP) - First came flashes of red light around the steeple of the Virgin Mary Church. Then silver-white doves flew overhead. And finally, residents of this small village said, the VirginMaryherself alightedatopthe steeple, a vision to the faithful.

But what should have been a holy encounter soon turned into a reli­giousriotwhenMuslims, angered by tens of thousands of pilgrims pack­ing the village, attacked Christian homes and shops.

For three nights last week, hun­dreds of Islamic militants from Shentena el-Hagar and nearby vil­lages smashed windows and chanted slogans praising Islam and cursing Christianity.

No one was hurt, but the broken windows and smashed shutters an: testament to the centuries of tense relations between Egypt's majority Muslims and minority Coptic Chris­tians, who number 6 million in a nation of 60 million.

Although Muslims revere the Vir­gin Mary as the mother of Jesus Christ - a prophet in the Islamic faith-their religion prohibits ven­erating images of people.

Twice before-in 1968and 1986 -there have been reported sightings of the Virgin Mary in Egypt, both in t.'1e capital, Cairo.

This time it was in a village of only a few thousand residents, 44 miles north of Cairo.

S irice the Virgin first reportedly

Abdel-Nour explained that town youths saw the firstsignofthe Virgin in the red lights and silver-white objects swirling around the church steeple. He joined the young people and says he saw "a dove and a strong white light"

"And then illuminated objects flew above the church ... spiritual im­ages."

"We wanted very much to see the Virgin," the ptiestsaid. "God granted our wish and she came."

After sending two committees to investigate, Egypt's Coptic patri­arch, Pope Shenouda ill, issued a statementsaying"anunnatural light" appearedinthechurch.Hehaileditas a "spiritual appearance," but did not refer to the Virgin Mary.

The statement did nothing to dissuade the faithful, who poured into the village's narrow streets and burst into villagers' homes. They' climbed walls and rooftops in hopes of catching a glimpse of the luminous image, and perhaps reaping a miracle.

The numbers dwindled after the violence. Also, scores of riot police armed.with bamboo canes sealed off the village and prohibited outsiders from entering between 4 p.m. and 7 am.

ing which they huddled in blankets to ward off the dese1t chill, the wor­shipers sang, "O come, 0 Virgin, and pray for us ... appear, 0 Virgin, ap­pear."

When day broke, many in the crowd said they hadn't seen a thing. However, some others invited into Camellia Mikhail's yard across the street from the church wereconvinced they did see the Virgin.

'There she is. She is very faint tonight, but I can see her veil just on the edge of the cross," said Tasuna Irene, a nun.

"She's turning her head now," another woman said.

"Yes, she's turning her head," said Mikhail, who claimed to see the visions regularly.

"My hair stood on end and I shiv­ered all over the first time I saw her. I was so happy," she said.

One of those who did not see the Virgin this week was Nabil Ayoub, 20, paralyzed 14 months ago in a diving accident in the Mediterranean Sea.

"I want to get up on my legs again. This is the wish of my life. I have only one hope- that a miracle happens," Ayoubsaidashe waited,hislonglegs motionless in his wheelchair.

Ayoub prayed before pictures of the Virgin, but he never saw her image in the sky.

"She performed no mimcle to­night," said his mother, Nadia Attiya "It was not written for him."

Miss lliinois crowned as 1998 Miss America

By John Curran ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. {AP) -Miss Illinois Kathe1ine Shindle was crowned Miss America 1998 on Sat­urday night as the ratings-starved pageant sought to lure back viewers by shedding traditions and including two-pieceswimsuits forthefirsttime in 50 yearn.

The firntmnner-up was Miss North Carolina Michelle Wruren and the second mnner-up was Miss Missis­sippi Myra Bru·ginear. Miss Ariwna Stacey Momeyer and Miss Califor­niaRebekahAnn Kellerrciundedout the top five.

Shindle, a 20-year-old aspiring ac­tress who works as a jani to rat a dance studio in exchange for lessons, was among five of IO semifinalists who chose to wear two-piece suits.

The raven-haired 5-foot-11 senior at Northwestern Univernity hugged Wan-en and broke into tears when host John Callahan announced her name at the end of the nationally televised 77th annual Miss America Pageant.

supe1imposcd on screen. After sev­ernl attempL~. the names disappeared. Later, during the swimsuit competi­tion, the announcer identified Miss Oregon a~ Miss Alizona and vice vern;; that was conected after a com­mercial break.

By far the most anticipated change was the one involving swimsuits.

The 51 contestantq had the choice of wearing eitl1er one- or two-piece suits. The only other time Miss America bared her mid1iff was in 1947, when all the women wore iden­tical two-piece suits. That was befo1e the television age, however.

Thongs and teenie-weenie bikinis we1eano-no.111etwo-piecesuitshad to have "full or moderate" bottoms, while tops we1e "full covernge" witl1 straps at least a half-inch wide. Cus­tom-made suits were prohibited.

There were other changes, includ­ing a new network (ABC instead of NBC), new hosts (soap opern stars Callahan and Eva LaRue Callahan) and anew methodofinterviewing the five finalists- unscripted questions from"AmericanJoumal''hostNancy Glass.

Pageant CEO Leonard Hom in­sisted the change was the latest in a

seiiesofmovesaimedatencournging :he women to be themselves and not someone else's ideal of what a Miss Ameiicacontestant should look like.

Since Hom took over in 1987, the pageant has eliminated high heels from swimsuit competition, banned professional hairntylists backstage and changed the evening gown segment to "evening wear," allowing the con­testants to weru· pantsuits if they chose.

This year, the pageant took the "be yournelf' concept a step further, tell­ing judges they could penalize any contestant they believed was putting on false airs or misrepresenting her­self in behavior or dress.

Also, the pageant now 1equiies contestants tochampion asocial cause. That gives tl1e winner a ready-made topic for the hundreds of speeches and personal appearances the 1eign­ing Miss America makes annually ..

Holland, a former literacy tutor, adopted that cause as her platfrnm ,md spent the yearpromoting literacy progrnms in schools, communities and p1isons. Holland, 23, of Over­land Park, Kan., earned :m estimated $250,000 in appearance fees during her national tour.

Shindle, of nearby Moorestown, majors in theater and sociology and wants to act on Broadway. She sang "Don't Rain On My Parade" for her talent offering. She graduated from Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Pennsauken in 1994 and was a classmate of Miss New Jersey Kathy Nejat.

____ MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1997 -MARIANAS VARIETY NE\l/~_~l'J!) V!E\\IS-17 ~r=================================~ Hurricane Linda nears Southern California

By Denise Levin LOS ANGELES (AP)- Sc;,uth­em California prepared Saturday for heavy rain, high winds and pounding waves from the El NiriG­powered Hufficane Linda, the strongest hurricane on record for the eastern Pacific.

Winds that had gusted to 220 mph off the coast of Mexico a day earlier decreased to 145 mph and were expected to weaken fmther before approaching the Southern California coast between late Sun­day and Tuesday.

By 8 p.m. PDT Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said Linda was 500 miles west-south­west of the southern tip of Baja California, about 800 miles south of San Diego, churning toward Southern California at about 14 mph.

If it keeps on itscm,·entroute, the center of the hmTicane should re­main about 200 miles off the Cali­fornia coast, said Jay Stockton, a forecasterforthe National Weather Se1,,ice.

At Zuma Beach, lifeguards were receiving rep01ts that swells could reach 15 feet.

"We've got extra people on call, we're moving sand m·ound, mak­ing sure strnm drains are clear," said lifegmu-d Bill Powers said.

Firefighters, still facing a few months of fire season, were prepar­ing for floods and mudslides.

ln San Diego, U.S. Navy offi­cials were tracking Linda's progress and making sure piers and ships were clear of loose gear that could blow or wash away, said Chief Brent Johnston of Naval Base San Diego.

"Iftheconditions wmrnnted, you could have ships getting underway - powering up and leaving po1t," Johnston said. ''If we're going to get slammed by a hu1Ticane, a ship is much better equipped to ride it out at sea than slamming into the piers at prnt."

The hu1Ticane, which gets its stiength from waim tropical wa­ters, was expected to weaken as it moved into colder nonhwest seas. But it would be a gradual weaken­ing because waters in the area arc wam1er than average because or the weather condition known as El Nino, Stockton said.

Trade winds that usually push storms out to sea have been sup­pressed by El Nino, a wanning pattern that causes havoc on me­teorological systems every few years.

"This storm is following a simi­lm· track as the one in 1939 that came on shore in San Pedro," Stockton said. "It dropped 13 inches (ofrain) on Mt. Wilson, and 5 to 7 inches elsewhere. That is probably about the worst-case scenario."

On Fiesta Island in San Di.ego, mtists seeking to craft the world's Iru·gest sand sculpture feared their creation would be doomed by high surf or rain. A 480-foot-wide, 60-foot-tall sculpture dubbed "1l1e Lost City of Atlantis"wasexpcctcd to be completed early this week.

Once elected, he said, "I would (not travel as much as the incum­bent governor does), and I will work with my It. governor. If I make mistakes I would not deny it and I would see to it that I correct these mistakes."

De La Hoya beats Camacho in 1.2 rds.

By Ed Schuyler Jr. LAS VEGAS (AP) - Oscar De La Hoya couldn't realize his prediction of knocking out Hec­tor Camacho. Instead, he settled for beating him up Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

De La Hoya ripped Camacho with punishing left hooks to the body, wobbled him several times and knocked him down in the ninth round with thunderous head shots to retain the WBC welterweight title on a unani­mous decision.

"I'm very satisfied but I wanted to knock him out so bad," De La Hoya said. "He did suffer for 12 rounds."

A large majority of an esti­mated crowd of 14, I 00 fans left satisfied, too.

"I give him credit," De La .Hoya said. "He did take a good punch."

Camacho took a lot of good punches. A CompuBox analy­sis credited De La Hoya with landing 373 of 750 punches, while Camacho landed 124 of 687. Of the punches De La Hoya landed, 340 were power blows. Camacho was credited with 54 power punches.

"I came out to fight," Camacho said.

But the 35-year-old ended up just trying to survive.

No opposition seen to sale of Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP)- Peter 0 'Malley, poised to sell the Los

'Angeles Dodgers to Rupert Murdoch for a reported $350 million, says he sees no opposi­tion to the deal.

The sale still must be approved by major league owners;

Thus far, the only teams known to have openly expressed concerns about the deal have

been the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.
