Pared-down abortion bill awaits vote
By Rod Griffin
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-bill turned-abortion legislation raged into the night yesterday in the House before the bill was sponsored and watered-down version of the bill. (A final vote is schedled for today.)
Med Center bill
Cries of legislative rules violations erupted in the House yesterday when the bill came to the floor.
The House Transportation Committee substituted a parental notification bill for a Senate bill that would have dealt with the use of vehicle registration fees by county treasurers. The abortion bill, introduced by State Rep. Arite Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.
Lucas, vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, and committee chairman State Rep Rex Crowell, R-Longton, used the committee to get the abortion bill to the floor. Twelve co-sponsors of the abortion legislation hold seats on the committee.
Lucas said the committee proc-

President Senate OK air bill
Leaders hope move will quell opponents
The Associated Press
The agreement, after more than three weeks of closed-door negotiations, was viewed as a middle ground likely to attract enough support to thwart continuing regional opposition in the looming Senate debate.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the president's chief domestic policy adviser.
Porter said the administration would attempt to expedite Senate passage and seek a similar agreement in the House, where clean-air legislation remains in committee.
But the compromise still is likely to encounter stiff industry lobbying, largely because of its estimated $20 billion to $40 billion annual cost to the economy.
Some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining weakened provisions in the original Senate bill that would have required stronger automobile emission controls to combat urban smog. Other have voiced continued concern about the impact of acid rain controls.

a memory."
"You'll dig them up," Napier said, recounting Grissom's words.
Finally, Grissom said the women probably had died. Napier said.
Napier said that while questioning Grissom he called Morrison, who offered to ignore theft charges in the case and would say what happened to the women.
"His response was that he knew Missouri had a death penalty and that Kansas did not, and that we would not find anything in Missouri," Napier said.
Later that day, Napier and Grissom met again.
"At that point he said, 'I can give
the whole package,' 'Napier
said.
Grissom told him that he, Thibodea and a man named George were involved in the killings, Napier said.
During cross-examination yesterday, deputy public defender Michael Bartee questioned the reliability of Napier's testimony because Napier did not take notes during his discussion with Grissom.
"So your written report is not a
accountate report? Barson
Nadler?"
"That's correct," Napier said.
In other testimony, Gary Dirkas, a chemist for the Johnson County crime lab, said public hair taken from Grissom by authorities in Dalton was dishishable from those found by investigators in Rusch and Brown's beds.
In his closing argument, Morrison said, "I suggest that these girls are just as dead as if we had presented the bodies in court."
Warren said, "The fact that somebody is dead is not sufficient evidence to bound somebody for trial."
