40 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, November 11, 1993 5 NAFTA debate doesn't sway House The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The blythehooed Gore-Petro debate on NAFTA had little impact on undecided House members who will vote on the free-trade agreement, the lawmakers said yesterday. With a week to go, supporters said they were 25-30 votes short; opponents said the gap was larger. WASHINGTON — An imbalance of certain nutrients may accelerate the collapse of the immune system in patients infected with the AIDS virus, scientists said yesterday at the National Institutes of Health. AIDS study finds that imbalance in nutrients helps speed breakdown of immune system Backers of the North American Free Trade Agreement crowed that the televised face-off between Vice President Al Gore and Ross Perot had given them momentum. Studies presented at an institute sponsored conference suggested that after being infected by the AIDS virus, the body slowly loses its ability to process oxygen-free radicals, a naturally occurring molecule that can be highly destructive if not controlled in the bloodstream. Oxygen-free radicals are normal- But several undeclared lawmakers said they were more concerned with the trade agreement's expected impact on their districts — or with swinging deals in exchange for their votes — than with Gore and Perot. The Associated Press "It's nothing new," Rep. Jay Kim, R- by neutralized in the body by the so-called antioxidant nutrients, such as a betacarotene and vitamins A, C and E. But the AIDS virus has been found to destroy the body's absorption and use of these nutrients, said Dr. Howard C. Greenspan, chairman of the conference. Opponents of the trade agreement, who have said they have the 217 House votes they will need to kill the pact, said they detected no defections caused by the debate. "The virus has some mechanism that shuts down the body's defense against the overproduction of these free radicals," Greenspan said yesterday at a news conference. An overabundance of oxygen-free radical molecules creates what is called "oxidative stress" in the body, Greenspan said. That has been shown to destroy some of the key cells of the immune system, which amplifies the destructive effect of the virus, he said. Calif., said of the debate as he emerged from a morning White House meeting with the pact's chief champion, President Clinton. "I have read NAFTA. I studied it thoroughly." "This may be a major factor in killing off the immune system," Greenspan said. With both sides keeping their vote lists secret, it was impossible to know with certainty how many undecided House members there were. Estimates ranged from 30 to 70. Kim said he told Clinton his main concern was negotiating a prisoner exchange treaty to send criminal illegal aliens back to Mexico. He said he might consider backing NAFTA if Clinton voiced support for such an agreement, which would be popular in his Southern California district. Lawmakers and aides said in many cases, legislators who had made up their minds were remaining publicly Oxygen free radicals are naturally created during normal metabolism in the body. The molecules are used by the body to defend against some viruses. But an overabundance of the radicals is destructive of cells. Oxidative stress has been associated with the aging process and with cancer, heart disease, muscular dystrophy and other diseases, said Greenspan. "Most people, even the ones saying they are undecided, have either made up their minds already or will vote their constituents," said Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich., a leading NAFTAfoe. undecided to avoid recriminations from the side they had abandoned. They said lawmakers' votes could be influenced by early, positive public opinion polls of debate reaction. Supporters of the agreement were buoyed by Gore's debate performance defending the pact that would eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers among the United States, Mexico and Canada during the next 15 years.
