Slashed budget and Congress to reshape CIA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The leaders of Congress' intelligence committees have drafted a sweeping reorganization plan for all U.S. intelligence operations, including the CIA, the military and electronic spying around the world, according to congressional sources.
Senate Intelligence Chairperson David Boren and his House counterpart, Rep. Dave McCurdy, both D-Okla., substantially agreed on the package, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The restructuring would be aimed at shaping America's intelligence capability to fit a world where there is no longer a threat from the Soviet Union. Policy-makers would instead worry about ethnic strife, weapons proliferation and terrorism.
It also would help America's intelligence apparatus, long accused of wasteful duplication, ease into the shrunken budget it will have for fiscal 1993 and beyond.
The sources said the intelligence budget proposed by President Bush last week would represent a cut from its current level of about $30 billion. But the cut would not be as severe as that for the overall Pentagon budget, in which some intelligence spending is hidden.
The Washington Times reported yesterday that the Boren-McCurdy plan would create an intelligence czar. It said CIA Director Robert Reid would create on the plan and would become the new czar.
A source close to Boren, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that the proposal had been fundamentally changed and Boren came to agreement on its provisions.
Meanwhile the CIA is considering creating an electronic news network that would update top government officials constantly about world developments that are obtained from intelligence satellites, news reports and spies. Gates has not yet approved the plan.
Mexican aliens find freedom by sprinting through traffic
SAN YSDIDRO, Calif. — Illegal aliens from Mexico have adopted a terrifying, and effective, new tactic of rushing the border en masse and running headlong in traffic.

Border Patrol agents cannot get their hands on the
Border Patrol, illegals because they are armed, make arrests on the open highway for fear of causing accidents.
Mexican authorities have agreed to take steps to stop the large-scale border crashing, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. representative Steven Kean said yesterday. No details of the Mexican plan were immediately available, he said.
The Border Patrol will indefinitely suspend plans announced Tuesday to counter the tactic, he said.
the plan could be reinstated if the Mexican efforts fall short.
Authorities had said that the Border Patrol would station 25 to 30 armed agents near the crossing beginning today, and two lanes of four-lane Interstate 5 also were to be closed just north of the border.
The Mexican head of immigration for the Tijuana area, Edmundo Salas, was present during the negotiations, he said. Salas and other Mexican border officials could not be reached by The Associated Press yesterday, a national holiday in Mexico.
William Veal, deputy chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector, said that this situation really had the potential to become a catastrophe. No one has been killed or hurt yet.
border and run straight into traffic, Veal said.
Those steps may not be necessary because of the Mexican government's assurances to the Border Patrol in a meeting Tuesday night that Mexican authorities would help halt the new flood of illegal aliens. Kean said.
Overwhelmed Mexican and U.S. immigration officials could do nothing but stand by as motorists on the U.S. side braked to avert the throng.
Border Patrol agents can't get their hands on the illegals because they aren't allowed to make arrests on the open highway for fear of causing accidents.
The mad dash of migrants into the United States took on organized dimensions two weeks ago, when border agents first saw at least 100 people rush the
In the past, illegal aliens tried to slip into the country alone or in small groups, usually by jumping a border fence when no one was looking. Formerly
pursuing them
the border crossing is a tollbooth-type checkpoint.
California Highway Patrol Lt. Joe Garrison said, "It's a nightmare. We've never seen anything like this before, and until now, there was nothing we could do about it."
Kean said that once inside the United States, most migrants walked straight up the highway median because they knew that Border Patrol policy prevented agents from
Migrants' rights advocate Roberto Martinez of the American Friends Service Committee said that his group did not mind any steps taken by the Border Patrol to prevent death or injury.
So many Mexican migrants have been killed trying to cross the busy freewalks in Southern California that "migrant crossing" signs have been posted.
The new tactic has been used almost continuously for two weeks, and thousands may have made it through, officials said. Using videotape, U.S. officials counted 440 migrants who successfully swarmed across the border last Thursday.
Garrison said that the migrants typically lay in wait until they got a hand signal from a coyote, or smuggler, to rush the border.
Javier Cerritos, the Calexico-based consul of Mexico, said the Mexican government did not have the authority to stop the migrants.
Veal said that the San Diego sector of the border generally accounted for 50 percent of all illegal entries into the United States. In January, more than 60,000 undocumented migrants were arrested, the highest figure ever for that month.
