U.S. allies pledge invasion support
WASHINGTON — Seventeen countries, including three NATO allies, Israel and far-off Bangladesh, have pledged a combined minimum of 1,500 troops to assist a U.S.-led invasion of Haiti, the State Department said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Secretary, of State Warren Christopher said the commitments of the 17 countries were a "strong indication of the resolve of the international community to join us in seeking the restoration of democracy in Haiti."
Meanwhile, Republican leaders said Congress should debate a resolution authorizing the commitment of U.S. forces to an invasion.
The administration has been pushing hard to recruit troops to join American forces in liberating Haiti after three years of military dictatorship. Current planning calls for the deployment of about 20,000 U.S. troops.
The 17 countries, some of which had been announced previously, are: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Dominica, Guyana, Israel, Jamaica, The Netherlands, Panama, St. Vincent, Trinidad and the United Kingdom.
The non-U.S. personnel would be sent to Haiti after the initial invasion force—virtually all U.S. personnel—
Republican leaders sent a letter yesterday to House Speaker Tom Foley, D-Wash., and Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, saying there was ample time to debate the Haiti invasion question since the United States was not immediately threatened.
establishes a "secure environment."

The Republican noted that the Bush administration received prior approval for launching Operation Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi invaders.
But Christopher said the stakes for the United States included defense of democracy in the hemisphere as well as protection of human rights.
THE NEWS in brief

Canadian separatists get legislative majority
Quebec voters took what could be their first step toward independence yesterday by giving the separatist Parti Quebeco a solid majority in the provincial legislature, according to national CBC television's projections.
Canadian Broadcasting Corp. showed Jacques Parizeau's Parti Quebecois with 65 seats, Premier Daniel Johnson's Liberal Party with 53, minor parties with one and the remaining six undecided. Polls had consistently indicated the PQ would win.
Parizeau, 64, has promised that his government would hold a referendum within a year on whether the predominantly French-speaking province should split from Anglophone Canada. Johnson had warned that independence would lead to unequal and economic deterioration.
If Quebec were to secede, the maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland would be physically cut off from the rest of the country. And Quebec independence could encourage a new wave of separatism in western provinces that long have felt ignored by Ottawa.

United States inmate population high
The group, which promotes alternative sentencing, concluded that get-tough policies of the past two decades have failed to reduce violent crimes.
According to a study released yesterday by a group called The Sentencing Project, the United States has a higher rate of incarceration than any country in the world except Russia.
The study found there are 1.3 million inmates in U.S. prisons, and the incarceration rate has reached an all-time high of 519 per 100,000 population, up 22 percent since 1989. Of 52 nations surveyed, only Russia had a higher incarceration rate.
An Environmental Protection Agency draft study reaffirming health dangers from dioxin is expected to prompt new controls on waste incinerators and intensify debate about the use of chlorine, a chemical that is key to forming dioxin.
EPA: Dioxin harmful to public health
The draft report reaffirms that dioxin in all likelihood causes cancer in humans and raises for the first time concern that even in trace amounts through the food chain there may be a risk to immune, reproductive and developmental systems, according to EPA documents.
The agency concluded that one of the principal sources of dioxin are waste incinerators, accounting for 99 percent of the known dioxin emissions.
The EPA recently announced it would toughen emission standards for municipal waste incinerators and plans to do the same for facilities that burn medical wastes.
WASHINGTON
The draft report raises concern about human exposure to trace levels of dioxin through the general food chain.

Congressional Black Caucus meets today
For two years, a bigger, younger Congressional Black Caucus has been accumulating power on Capitol Hill. But the group is in jeopardy of fading just as quickly as it grew.
Redistricting, the process that sent an unprecedented 40 Blacks to Congress, may send many back home if courts rule that drawing political districts to help elect minority candidates is unconstitutional.
Maintaining the caucus' numbers and influence is a central concern at its annual leadership meeting, which begins today. There is a scheduled forum on running for office as well as a briefing on the impact of redistricting lawsuits in five Southern states.
Gains through redistricting expanded the caucus from 24 to 40 members in four years. As the caucus grew larger, it also grew younger.
Population plan ready for vote
CAIRO, Egypt — After seven days of hard bargaining, delegates to the U.N. population conference agreed yesterday on the last tricky points of their 20-year plan for curbing world population growth.
The plan, worked out by a committee that met for 28 hours throughout three days, goes before the full 180-country session today.
The Program of Action breaks new ground by urging that population be controlled not just by family planning but by economic development, empowerment of women and protection of the environment.
Third World delegates questioned whether poor nations could pay their assigned two-thirds share of the target of $17 billion yearly for population and health programs. And they said the almost total concern with sexual issues left little time for discussing development.
The Vatican won reference to parental responsibility in the section on adolescent sex counseling. It also succeeded in getting in two statements proclaiming that abortion should not be promoted as a means of family planning.
To appease Muslim states, the committee cut references to "sexual rights," reduced the reference to "individual" reproductive rights and "sexual health" and eliminated "other unions." Conservative Muslims objected to the last phrase as an endorsement of homosexuality and promiscuity.
Instead, the committee urged that countries "recognize the vital importance of family unification" and push for laws making it easier. The wealthier countries say establishing such a right would undermine their efforts to control immigration.
The United States, Canada and European Union won a victory against poor Third World countries, who wanted immigrants to have the right to have their families join them.
The document will serve as a guideline for countries and aidgivers, and can be used by activists to hold their governments accountable for its principles.
