Yeltsin keeps control, offers to trim powers
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — President Boris Yeltsin survived an impeachment attempt by hard-liners at the rowdy opening of Congress yesterday. He also proposed a compromise to trim presidential powers but continue market reforms.
His proposal drew strong opposition, including from some supporters. Early votes indicated that neither Yeltsin's supporters nor his opponents had the strength to force their ideas through, leaving them groping for middle ground that would avoid a stalemate.
Yeltsin urged lawmakers to resist the champions of "hard-line Bolshevism" who threaten to "divide the society, to set the executive and legislative branches against each other in a final clash, to weaken the state and breed chaos."
His proposal was aimed at generating new momentum for his economic reforms by preventing the Congress
of People's Deputies, dominated by hard-liners elected before the collapse of the Soviet Union, from hobbling the more radical Cabinet.
Hard-liners want to slow the economic changes and drop acting Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, the architect of the reforms. Gaidar was scheduled to speak today.
In an hour-long speech in the Grand Kremin Palace, Yeltsin accused lawmakers of putting "their own ambitions, careers, demagoguery and cheap political effects above the truth, the interests of the people and the state."
Outside the Kremlin, several hundred demonstrators carrying red Communist hammer-and-sickle banners pushed through a police line and endured cold temperatures to chant anti-Yeltsin slogans as lawmakers crossed Red Square.
Hundreds of pro-reform coal miners also shouted at deputies as they entered Spassky Gate.
Wednesday, December 2, 1992
The Congress opened in tumult yesterday as an obscure Siberian lawyer, Ivan Fedoseyev, challenged Yeltsin's signing of a pact with Belarus and Ukraine on Dec. 8, 1991, ending the Soviet Union and founding the Commonwealth of Independent States. Fedoseyev wanted Russia's Constitutional Court to rule whether Yeltsin's actions "give reason for his impeachment."
Yeltsin's compromise proposal drew sharp criticism from the 1,041-member body. Even reform lawmakers said prospects were slim for the plan, which would preserve many of the sweeping powers Yeltsin has held since the failed hard-line coup in August 1991.
As Yeltsin watched stony-faced from the dais, the proposal lost 429-352. The results showed Yeltsin's supporters have the strength to stave off attacks by hard-liners, but it also indicated his foes form a solid core of opposition.
Senate investigates Packwood
Ethics committee to review sexual harassment charges
WASHINGTON — The Senate ethics committee, under heavy pressure from women's groups and congressional leaders, said yesterday it had begun a preliminary inquiry into sexual harassment allegations against Republican Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon.
The Associated Press
Terry Sanford, D.N.C., who heads the committee, and Warren Rudman, R-N.H., vice chairperson, both leave Congress in January and said in a written statement that they had instructed the panel's staff to gather information as quickly as possible.
The inquiry results will be presented to the full six-member committee, which then will determine whether to proceed with a formal investigation. Packwood, 60, who has checked into an undisclosed alcohol treatment program, has agreed to cooperate.
The committee's announcement brought a quick positive reaction from a coordinator for Oregon women's organizations, which have been pressing for both the
investigation and the resignation of Packwood—who just was re-elected for a fifth term.
Former Oregon Supreme Court Justice Betty Roberts, who lost a Senate race to Packwood in 1974, said, "It's very positive that they're taking this seriously. It probably will be a very long investigative procedure. To begin it now is very appropriate."
The committee announcement also said the panel had not determined whether there was adequate evidence for an inquiry into allegations of improper sexual conduct by Sen. Daniel Inoue, D-Hawaii.
Julie Williamson, 53, one of Packwood's accusers, said before the announcement that she feared a setback for victims of sexual harassment everywhere if Packwood went unmoaned.
Inouye's hair stylist has accused the senator of sexually assaulting her 17 years ago.
"In't really afraid we'll go through all this, then if nothing happens, we actually may have harmed other women by becoming an illustration of how hard it is to challenge this," Williamson said.
She was among 10 women — former Packwood staff members or lobbyists — who *The Washington Post* reported had accused him of uninvited and unwanted sexual advances.
