Souter gains three more votes; assured of committee backing
Supreme Court nominee David Sooter gained three more votes on the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, assuring his approval by the panel when it votes today.
The endorsements by Sens. Charles Grassley, R-lowa, Herbert Kerbolt, D-Wis., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., brought to 10 the number on the 14-member panel publicly of favor of Souter's nomination. None had come out against him by late last night.
40,000 U.S. troops will leave Europe beginning in October
Three liberal Democrats not on the committee. Sens. Bill Bradley, D.N.J.; Frank Lautenberg, D.N.J.; and Barbara Mikulski, D.Md., based on his lack of an aberrant position.
The United States will begin withdrawing 40,000 troops from Europe next month and start closing down them in January. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said yesterday.
Cheney said his decision was made in consultation with the NATO allies and was in anticipation of a 23-nation Conventional Forces in Europe agreement being reached by year's end to reduce substantially troops and military equipment across Europe.
The unilateral pullout of troops from Europe is the largest by the United States since the mid-1960s, when the administration of President Richard Nixon restructured the U.S. commitment to Europe.
The decision, while not directly related to the buildup of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf area, would give the Pentagon flexibility in fielding troops to relieve U.S. troops in the Gulf region.

Senate votes approval of family planning bill
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted yesterday to require federally supported family planning clinics to notify parents of teen-age girls who seek abortions.
The Associated Press
The action came on an amendment to a bill renewing federal family planning assistance, which emerged as the latest battleground in the political war over abortion.
The bill was already under a veto threat, however, and the vote was one in a series of conflicting and confusing Senate actions that left the bill facing an uncertain future.
A vote to limit debate fell 10 short of the necessary 60 votes, diminishing prospects of any further amendments.
The Senate approved by a large margin another amendment Tuesday evening that would remove Bush administration regulations prohibiting the use of contraception for many information or counseling involving abortion
The result was a Senate bill that contained provisions pushed by both anti-abortion and pro-abortion groups.
In the House a similar version, extending the life of family planning services provided through Title 10 of the Public Health Service Act of 1970, was approved by the Energy and Commerce Committee to give final approval to the General Senate provisions on abortion. The clinics offer family planning and health services to the poor.
The family planning act's authorization expired in 1985, but services have been financed by Congress each year since then through continuing resolutions, or catchall spending measures.
The Senate's vote Tuesday night to end the administration's prohibition on abortion counseling provided pro-choice advocates with a surprisingly large 62 vote majority.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., an abortion protester, voted with pro-choice advocacy in support of the amendment, producing an initial 63:35 vote. But more than an hour after the vote was taken, Dole asked that his recorded vote be changed to "no."
Religious repression ends in U.S.S.R. with new law

Guitar stylist Chet Atkins releases a country album after jazzy detour
The 66-year-old, soft spoken music legend may start emulating certain rock stars by wearing leather and heavy makeup.
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Teen. — Master guitarist Chet Atkins figures he's due for a new image.
"Nobody wants you when you just play guitar," he laments.
But he's not serious. He's just joking around with Dire Straits' marktark Mark Knoopfer, his special on the new album "Neck and Neck."
Atkins earned the title "M. Guitar" during 45 years as an instrumentalist. He recorded more than 75 albums and sold in excess of 30 million records.
However, on "Neck and Neck." Atkins returns to the country music style he helped popularize. Even the presence of a rock 'n' roll such as Knottie, the album's producer, will mask the country feel to the music.
"I never have gotten it right," he says modestly about his playing. "I keep trying to improve and get it better. I can't tell you out the mediocrity and conformity."
Atkins, who has won eight Grammy awards, says he keeps doing albums in an eternal quest for perfection.
album, we got away from that and got back to more country-sounding things for the most part. Mark was going in the wrong direction lately.
"I've been making so-called jazz albums for the past three or four years." Atkins said. "So in this
