Buchanan outlines presidential plans
Conservative commentator says he would attack deficit spending
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan said yesterday that as president he would be willing to shut down the government from November to January to force Congress to stop wasting money
"If this party is divided, it has been divided before I get into it."
Buchanan, who is preparing to challenge President Bush for the Republican nomination, said that Bush and Congress double-crossed the people of the United States and drove the economy with the trash bin by raising taxes last year.
Buchanan made the comments on
ABC-TV's "This Wee with David Riess."
The former Nixon speechwriter and Reagan communications director called Bush a decent, honorable, patriotic man but said that the differences between them were deep and fundamental.
Buchanan is expected to announce
tomorrow that he will run against Bush in the New Hampshire primary. He will join ex-Ku Klux Klanman in a challenge Bush from the right.
Patrick Buchanan
Possible Republican nominee candidate
Buchanan, 53, said that he had no worries that he might help the Democrats recapture the White House in a challenging Bush in the GOP primaries.
"Mr. Bush is in trouble not because
of Pat Buchanan. I couldn't get 2 percent of the vote against Ronald Reagan," said the television commentator and columnist.
"George Bush walked away from the conservative base of his own party" by reneging on promises not to raise taxes or sign a civil rights bill that would force hiring quotas on businesses, Buchanan said.
*If this party is divided, it has been
Buchanan promised that he would make "long-term cuts in the Cold War state and the welfare state."
Buchanan said that Bush should call Congress back into session, admit he made a terrible mistake and demand that the lawmakers enact immediate tax cuts, including lowering the capital gains tax to 15 percent.
He said that he had opposed going to war against Iraq to liberate Kuwait because "I didn't think that worthless emir ... was worth a single American Marine."
ouchanan said that Duke had seized on issues that he has championed, including stopping illegal immigrations and enforcing affirmative action policy to bar quotas.
"I'm not going to walk away from my views simply because David Duke takes them," said Buchanan.

UNITED NATIONS — The Christmas season is a time of frantic maneuvering to find enough money to run the United Nations. Holiday salary advances have been canceled, and U.N. staffers may get no December paychecks at all.
Day and night, U.N. financial chief Kofi Anan telephones foreign ministers and finance ministers to that they pay their 1992 U.N. dues which shuffles accounts so that world body can meet its December payroll.
The 32,000 or so U.N. staffers worldwide, involved in increasing responsibilities in recent years, "wonder whether they'll be able to put bread on the table the next time that the check is supposed to be coming," he said.
As of early December, only 115 of the 166 U.N. nations are fully paid.
The U.S. owes the U.N. about $1 billion,but Congress cannot afford to pay the back dues.
And the United States is by far the

biggest deadbeat — accounting for $55.5 million of the total $231.1 million in arrears that all nations owe the regular U.N. headquarters budget.
In addition, $456 2 million is overdue to cover the costs of peacekeeping missions, of which the U.S. owes $141 million.
But by the time Reagan decided in
Under President Reagan, the United States began withholding its dues payments to protest the then-persistent anti-Western tone of the General Assembly and to force budget cuts on the world body.
1988, his last year in office, that U.N. reforms were taking effect and that the world body was shaping up, the United States owed about $1 billion.
President Bush and Secretary of State James Baker have urged Congress to pay the back dues, but in a period of tight U.S. budgets, Congress has so far only kept even with current dues.
The United Nations has been living paycheck-to-paycheck for years, often having to borrow money from peacekeeping budgets to meet the next payroll, then replenishing the budget when the next nation pays its dues.

Sources said on condition of anonymity that construction funds were tapped this week in an effort to meet the payroll.
U.N. officers are so low that the long-
standing holiday practice of advancing
the staff part of their late December
pay in their mid-month paycheck,
so they can use some of the money
early for shopping, has been canceled.
Referendum gives Puerto Ricans choices for future
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Citizens cast ballots yesterday in a referendum on the Spanish-speaking Caribbean island's relationship with the United States and cultural identity.
In the referendum, voters could vote yes or no on a proposed bill of "democratic rights," which among other things would assert the island's right to freedom from U.S. subordination and its cultural distinctness.
Effectively, the bill opposes statehood and would appeal to those in favor of Puerto Rico remaining a U.S. commonwealth or those who eventually want independence.
Poll shows Puerto Ricans to be about evenly divided between those who want statehood and those who favor remaining a commonwealth, with under 10 percent wanting full independence.
