President Clinton yesterday touted the idea that Kosovo-like interventions will be needed to deal with future humanitarian crises around the world. "Democracy, tolerance, and human rights must prevail everywhere, for no nation is safe, no prosperity is stable, if conflict and refugees and crime and terrorism can be pushed across borders," Mr. Clinton told a cheering crowd in the small Alpine nation of Slovenia, which broke away from Slobodan Milosevic's Yugoslavia nearly a decade ago. The idea has become the central theme of Mr. Clinton's seven-day European tour, conducted even as the last of Mr. Milosevic's troops pull out of ...

U.S., S. Korea, Japan to meet on N. Korea WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - The United States, South Korea and Japan will meet in Washington on Friday for senior-level consultations on North Korea, the third such meeting in a month, the State Department said. The three governments have been consulting closely on North Korea for several years but in April elevated those talks to a higher level and established a Trilateral Coordination and Oversight Group to institutionalize the process of policy coordination. The group previously met on May 24 in Tokyo and May 29 in Seoul. The Washington meeting comes ...

Hatch Tells Supporters He'll Run By LAURIE KELLMAN .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch has told supporters he intends to run for the White House despite Texas Gov. George Bush's standing as a prohibitive front-runner for the GOP nomination, a Republican official said Tuesday. This official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Hatch declared his intentions at a meeting of supporters Friday night in Salt Lake City. ``He said he's running,'' said the official, who added that Hatch conceded Bush's status in the race and said his hope was to be an alternative should ...

FBI agents in the United States are looking for a rogue stockbroker who could have pulled off one of the biggest frauds ever. At least £218 million is missing after Martin Frankel's disappearance from his home in the expensive suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut - but authorities fear up to £2 billion may have been taken. "It could be one of the biggest movements of money of all time," said a consultant who worked for Frankel. A warrant for the arrest of the 44-year-old, a reclusive financier, was issued after agents discovered a complex web of fake companies set up to ...

Bush tweaks Gore, vows to work with Congress By Thomas Ferraro WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush denounced Vice President Al Gore as a Washington insider Tuesday but promised fellow party members in Congress he would stand with them. ``I'm not going to bash Republican members of Congress,'' Bush told reporters after conferring with Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. ``I told them that I look forward to working with them,'' Bush said. He rejected suggestions that the Republican-led Congress, which has taken a number of unpopular stands, like opposing greater gun control, may ...

GUNS AND RIGHTS Previously, I have observed that you cannot defend what you cannot define. Nothing illustrates this more clearly than the current debate over gun ownership. One of the reasons gun owners have seen increased restrictions on their "ownership" of guns is that most have long since ceded their actual right to own a gun. The reason? Most do not understand the meaning of a right. A right is the sovereignty to act without the permission of others. That being the case, the right to purchase and own a gun means: you may take the appropriate actions, without anyone’s ...

Posted on 06/22/1999 04:21:13 PDT by Clive NEGROVCE, Yugoslavia -- A day after the last Serbian soldiers quit Kosovo, NATO's peacekeeping force in the disputed Yugoslav province has suffered its first deaths. An even crueller irony was that what killed two British combat engineers and two Kosovar Albanians yesterday was not a Serbian mine or boobytrap, but unexploded cluster bombs dropped by NATO warplanes during the alliance's successful, casualty-free 11-week air war against indicted war criminal Slobodan Milosevic's regime.

SKOPJE, June 22 (AFP) - Praising NATO for its campaign in Kosovo, US President Bill Clinton said Tuesday that the alliance could intervene elsewhere in Europe or in Africa to fight repression. "In Africa or central Europe, we will not allow, only because of differences in ethnic background or religion or racism, people to be attacked. We will stop that," Clinton told US troops gathered at the Skopje airport. "We can do it now. We can do it tomorrow, if it is necessary, somewhere else," he said. Clinton earlier visited the Stenkovec camp where he got a rousing welcome from ...

During the first four years of the Clinton administration, People's Liberation Army Gen. Ding Henggao, along with his top two PLA assistants, Lt. Gen. Huai Guomo and Lt. Gen. Shen Rougjun, raided U.S. technology on a scale never before imagined. Some of these fantastic exploits against the Clinton administration are documented in the Cox report, dealing with the theft of nose cone technology from Hughes -- largely Shen's handiwork. Likewise, some of Huai's handiwork can be found in a 1996 General Accounting Office report on the transfer of an advanced AT&T fiber-optic network to a PLA-owned company called Galaxy ...

Bush Raises $1M on Initial DC Foray By JONATHAN D. SALANT .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Texas Gov. George W. Bush huddled Tuesday with members of Congress on his first trip to the nation's capital since forming his presidential exploratory committee, and fattened his campaign bank account by $1 million at a lobbyist-studded fund-raiser. Together, the events affirmed the strong support for Bush, the front-runner among Republican presidential candidates in the polls and in the race for campaign dollars. Bush's Washington foray also offered ammunition to Republicans hoping to defeat him in next year's presidential primaries and caucuses ...

Political Notebook .c The Associated Press AUSTIN (AP) - Bass fishing and longhorns may replace the bluefish and speedboats of his father's administration if Texas Gov. George W. Bush wins the presidency in 2000. Bush is considering buying a ranch of several hundred acres just west of Waco, Texas. His spokesman, Scott McClellan, confirmed Tuesday that the Texas governor with White House ambitions is ``interested'' in the area, although he said nothing has been finalized. State Sen. David Sibley, a Waco Republican, said the deal is contingent upon Bush's hobby - fishing. Bush was awaiting an engineer's report on whether ...

Gore Says Internet Technology Key By STEVEN K. PAULSON .c The Associated Press DENVER (AP) - In seven years, nearly half the workers in America will be employed by industries that either are producers or intensive users of information technology, Vice President Al Gore said Tuesday. During a campaign swing through Colorado, the vice president released a report from the Commerce Department that said new digital technologies are changing the way Americans work, live, communicate and play. ``Six and a half years ago, there were just 50 Web sites around the world. Today there are more than 6 million,'' Gore ...

Though the CIA publicly has admitted wrongdoing in the Nicaraguan contra-cocaine scandal, Congress has put the controversy back behind closed doors. The House Intelligence Committee conducted a secret hearing on the CIA’s report on May 25, and the panel has no current plans for a public session. While public hearings could still be called, sources close to the committee predict only that a report will be issued containing the panel's final conclusions. Given the Washington press corps' disdain for the contra-cocaine issue and the Republican control of Congress, chances for any tough conclusions appear slim. In the present environment ...

RICHMOND, Va. (Reuters) - Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush Tuesday derided Vice President Al Gore as a ``Washington D.C. person,'' further heating a war of words between the two men who may square off for the White House in next year's election. Bush, the governor of Texas and son of former President George Bush, also spoke out against abortion in strong terms and expressed support for posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings. Bush made his comments to reporters after visiting a library in a poor, mostly black district of Richmond where his wife, Laura, read a book to ...

Link to the Washington Post article GREENVILLE, S.C., June 21—Texas Gov. George W. Bush today said he would have voted for a gun control bill defeated by the House last week and defended his decision to sign legislation barring cities in his state from suing gunmakers for the costs of violence on their streets. Bush said the 24-hour check on weapons sales at gun shows contained in the House bill "would have made it harder for convicted criminals to get a gun." Most Democrats argued that the House proposal would have actually weakened current law by shortening the waiting period ...
