Cities quieter; Bosnia considers peace The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — A U.N. official said yesterday that a cease-fire between Bosnian government officials and Croat forces appeared to be taking hold in central Bosnia, but fighting was reported in southwestern Mostar. Fighting continued Saturday past the noon ceasefire deadline. But early yesterday, flashpoints such as Jablanica in central Bosnia quieted, said Lt. Col. Bill Aikam, who spoke for U.N. peacekeepers in Sarajevo. He said vehicles and convos now could move without difficulty around Gornii Vakuf. "B basically, the operation is holding, and I'm hoping it stays that way," he said. "It appears the cease-fire is taking hold," he said. Military action across Bosnia "has declined dramatically." But divided Mostar, where about 50,000 Muslims are under Croat siege, was the scene of intense fighting Saturday, when 15 people were reported killed and 27 injured. Reports said the fighting continued yesterday. Croatian radio said four government soldiers were killed and more than 20 wounded during the night. U.N. officials could not confirm the report.

The Serbs hold 70 percent of Bosnia, and Croats control most of the rest. Under the proposed peace agreement, worked out in Geneva, Muslims would get about 31 percent of the land. A meeting between the three sides is scheduled for tomorrow at the Sarajevo airport, but Izetbegovic said he would stand by his demands. White House plans examination of foreign aid The Associated Press humanitarian assistance." WASHINGTON — The White House plans serious reforms of the U.S. foreign aid program and will discuss its ideas with congressional leaders this week, a senior White House official said yesterday. "The foreign assistance program is important to us, but the program is in some sense of disrepair," said the official, who spoke on condition he not be identified by name. "It is in need of serious reforms, and that's why we've undergone one of the most far-reaching reviews ever completed." "We are changing the nature of how we do business, development agency director J. Brian Atwood said in yesterday's Washington Post." "We're going to be a lot more tough in making decisions about whether a country is a good development partner for the United States." The Agency for International Development said in statement that the new aid plan would be based on "a new approach that addresses five specific concerns: the global environment, population growth, economic development, democracy building and The White House official said the proposal would not reduce aid to Israel and Egypt, the largest recipients of U.S. aid. "The president is firmly behind assistance to those two countries." the official said.

Much of the aid is given on instruction from members of Congress. An internal report leaked to news agencies in July said the development agency is overextended and lacking a clear mandate and should shut down programs in many countries. Vice President Al Gore's plan to "reinvent government" embraced the report, saying the agency could cut the number of overseas missions from 105 to 50. "Cuts will be made in the number of missions in developed countries so that the agency's efforts can focus on those nations that can't absorb or manage assistance or (are) truly underdeveloped countries," said the Gore report.
