NATION/WORLD UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tuesday, February 6.1996 5A Budget outline released The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The bare-bones budget that President Clinton sketched yesterday is more campaign manifesto than spending blueprint, challenging Republicans for political turf they have long owned outright. The 20-page pamphlet points the way to zero deficit in 2002 and makes room for a modest tax cut. Yet it also proposes more than the Republicans want for Medicaid. Bill Clinton education, the environment and other politically popular programs. "Government should not do for individuals what they can do for themselves," says a three-page introductory essay. Most of the pain that would result from shrinking government wouldn't be felt until well after this fall's election — and even after the 1998 balloting. Of nearly $600 billion in deficit reductions for seven years in Clinton's budget, about $363 billion, or 61 percent, would take effect in 2000 and 2001. Beyond laying out broad goals, the material released offered scant details. It avoided any mention, for example, of how to achieve nearly $300 billion in projected budget savings over seven years in so-called discretionary programs. Specifics will follow in mid-March, when Clinton is expected to submit to Congress a more traditional, multivolume budget that tracks programs, trust funds and economic assumptions in detail. That's when the administration will say which programs — and voting blocs — would win and which would lose in a blueprint that calls for spending $1.64 trillion in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. For now, the president has gained the political advantage. He has embraced a budget that would be balanced in seven years, using economic estimates developed by the Congressional Budget Office — as Republicans demanded. Yet it presents a more moderate face than the plan Republicans wrote on their own, and that he vetoed last year. "The plan I propose cuts hundreds of programs, continues our efforts to downsize the government, but it protects Medicare, Medicaid, education and the environment and cuts taxes for working families," the president said in remarks to the nation's governors, most of them Republicans. "It reforms welfare and addresses our challenges to renew schools, provide economic security, and preserve the environment with the initiatives that I announced in the State of the Union." Clinton says that after 50 hours of negotiations, he and Republicans are close enough to write a balanced budget into law and defer any outstanding issues until after the election. "I hope we can set aside partisanship and divisions, as you often do in the (governors' association) and provide a balanced budget plan to the American people in the near future," he said. Experts link race, diabetes The Associated Press WASHINGTON — African Americans appear to have a genetic predisposition to diabetes that may be triggered by obesity or other health habits — but lifestyle changes could lower the risk, diabetes experts said yesterday. "This is a problem we can beat, and it's time to begin," said physician James Gavin as he unveiled the American Diabetes Association's African-American Program. The $500,000 education campaign will cover how to prevent and control diabetes, a disease in which the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use the hormone properly. African Americans are twice as likely as Caucasians to get diabetes. Nobody really knows why. But physician Kwame Osel of Ohio State University said yesterday that he had uncovered symptoms of a genetic predisposition. Osei studied 80 African Americans, 60 Caucasians and 32 recent African immigrants for three years. All were young and healthy and had normal blood sugar levels. The African Americans and African immigrants produced twice as much insulin as the Caucasians, and their insulin worked only half as well, Osei found. Yet only 1 percent of Africans have diabetes, while 12 percent of African Americans do, Osei said. Osei thinks obesity, a proven diabetes risk, could be the difference. He cited studies showing 10 percent The ADA's African-American Program will emphasize losing weight and exercising. of Africans, 30 percent of Caucasians and 40 percent of African Americans are overweight. The ADA program's centerpiece will be "Diabetes Sundays," where doctors and celebrities will visit churches to alert people at risk: anyone who is African American, overweight, older than 45, doesn't exercise, has a relative with diabetes or had a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds. The campaign urges people to see a doctor if they have any diabetes symptom: extreme thirst, occasional blurry vision, frequent urination, fatigue or unexplained weight loss.
