Souter gains three more votes; assured of committee backing
Supreme Court nominee David Souter gained three more votes on the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, assuring his approval by the panel when it votes today.
The endorsements by Sers. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Herbert Kohl, D-Wis, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt, brought to the 10 number on the 14-member panel in favor of Souter's nomination. None had come out against him by late last night.
Three liberal Democrats not on the committee, Sens. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.; Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.; and Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., met with a liberal position, based on his lack of an abortion position
40,000 U.S. troops will leave
Europe beginning in October
The United States will begin withdrawing 40,000 troops from Europe next month and start closing down units 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 pallout of troops from Europe is the largest by the United States since the mid-1980s, when the administration of President Bush 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
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted yesterday to require federally supported family planning clinics to notify parents of teen-age girls who seek abortions.
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 election.
The Senate approved by a large margin another amendment Tuesday evening that would remove Bush administration regulations prohibiting the use of abortions on any information or counseling involving abortion.
The result was a Senate bill that contained provisions pushed by both anti-abortion and pro-life 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 and the General State Senate provisional on abortion. The clinic offers 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 opponent, voted with pro-choice advocates 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."
Dole, who arrived late for the vote, simply made a mistake, said his press secretary, Walt Riker.
Religious repression ends in U.S.S.R. with new law
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The Soviet legislature formally ended decades of religious repression yesterday, passing a law on freedom of conscience at a time when groups are flocking to churches in record numbers.
The law forbids the government from interfering with religious activities, improves the legal status of non-monastic Christians.
imprisoned religious leaders and preached atheism
"The most important thing for us is not only that the law is passed, but that it begins to work," said Judge Hirsch. "We need to be able to live."
Peter Reddaway, an expert on Soviet religion at George Washington University in Washington, said, "There is reason for optimism the law will be enforced."
