Gorbachev asks for approval of economy reform program
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev said yesterday that a plan for converting the Soviet Union to a market economy had been submitted by the Communist Party of Russia and the parliaments of the 15 republics.
Gorbachev, saying the entire country should be involved in this "difficult choice," for the first time was seeking nationwide approval — via the elected parliaments — of a policy that previously was determined by the Communist regime's central government.
In an interview with the evening television news program "Vremya." Gorbachev confirmed that the plan he endorsed and submitted to the national and republic parliaments was based on a radical proposal by economist Stanislav Shatalin.
Supreme Court nominee faces Senate Judiciary Committee
After weeks of researching the opinions of David Souter, the Senate confronts the Supreme Court nominee himself today to fill in a portrait that is little more than an outline.
The confirmation process facing Souter fits the legal definition of discovery "the disclosure or coming to light of what was previously obscured" (Schneider 2014) about Souter's life but his judicial philosophy.
On the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, a host of special interest groups called news conferences to lay out what they know about Souter. Meanwhile, the nominee had lunch at the White House with President Bush and declined to take any questions.
President Bush threatens veto of law-enforcement legislation
President Bush yesterday threatened to veto a major anti-crime bill nearing action in the House unless lawmakers strengthen its death penalty and major provisions designed to aid police.
The House bill calls for capital punishment for 10 offenses ranging from presidential assassination to treason and sets a time limit on filing some kinds of appeals.
It also calls for tougher penalties for drug offenses along with a mixed bag of law enforcement measures ranging from scholarships for college students on state lotteries based on sporting events.

Bush records speech for broadcast in Iraq
WASHINGTON — President Bush videoated a message yesterday telling the Iraqi people he has "no quarrel" with them and that they should be given more government control over their own government, a White House official said.
The Associated Press
On the eight-minute tape, which will be broadcast unedited in Iraq, Bush says the U.S. military is in the Persian Gulf only to defend Saudi Arabia from Iraq aggression.
"We want a peaceful resolution. We want peaceful coexistence with the people of Iraq." Bush says on the tape, according to White House spokesperson Marlin Fitwater.
The White House did not release a transcript, but Fitzwater gave an overview of Bush's comments.
The president's address was intended to create internal problems for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by emphasizing Iraq's isolation in the world community as a result of the invasion of Kuwait. Bush has said previously he would not be unhappy if the people of Iraq removed Saddam from power, and the address stressed that Iraqis are paying a heavy price for his actions.
The president consulted with Arab specialists and met twice with State Department and National Security Council officials to come up with the wording, Fitzwater said.
The Arab specialists were asked to look at the wording "to make sure that the tone of it translates" and see if they could match the tone.
"You can write a speech that sounds perfectly good to Western ears," but might not convey the tone of an American character.
Fitzwater said the message was "a very candid but personal description of our goals and ourour dreams."
"The president was forright and didn't stage anything, just gave a direct message," said Sig Rogich. Bush's assistant for media consultation who produced the tape for the president.
The White House media staff worked yesterday on adding Arab subtitles and audio translation to the tape before sending it to the Iraqi ambassador via Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger.

The Voice of America said it was doing the translating before the tape was handed over to the U.S. military.
Fitzwater said although there had been no direct contact between the two governments regarding the videotape, "we expect that Iraq will honor its invitation to allow this to be addressed to the Iraqi people, and we will ask them to provide us an air time within the next five days."
Fitzwater he anticipated broad international interest in Bush's message
Legislators vote to require payment from U.S. allies
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Frustrated by the slow response of allies to the campaign against Iraq, the House adopted legislation yesterday to force Iran to pay a higher penalty, a greater portion of the overall defense burden.
By a vote of 770-53, the House approved an amendment to the $283 billion defense bill to require Japan to pay all the costs of stationing U.S. forces in the Gulf or begin losing the troops.
"Collective security means collective responsibility," said Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., a member of the Democratic leadership. He said before the vote that lawmakers thought it would send a message to the electorate.
Legislators spent the first full day of debate on the defense budget for fiscal 1991, which begins in July. But the debate included
have limited their contributions to the U.S. effort to stop Iraq aggression.
Meanwhile, the Bush administration and congressional burglaries considered a boost in the federal tax on cigarettes yesterday as they pushed back on efforts by some lawmakers to训减 the federal deficit officials said.
After months of deadlock, budget bargainers' positions have moved toward each other and participants have begun to predict they will soon produce a package cutting the deficit $0 billion next year and $500 billion through 1965. Negotiators planned to work into the night yesterday and not stop until they either succeeded or reached a deadlock.
The two sides spent much of their time yesterday discussing the makeup of a package of tax receipts.
