The treaty aimed to put the biggest burden on the richest nations that contributed the most carbon emissions. Other participants came from Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, South Africa and South Korea, plus the European Union and the United Nations. Iran, another of the biggest emitters, notably was excluded. "There was lots of talk about mandatory caps," said Yvo de Boer, the top U.N. climate official.

"I don't think it would nations that are the world's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. "In substance, we are still far apart." In his speech, Bush acknowledged that climate change is real and that human activity is a factor. "By setting this goal, we acknowledge mere is a problem, and by setting this goal, we commit ourselves to doings something about it," he said. "We share a common responsibility: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while keeping-our economies growing." The president's speech capped two days of talks at a White House-sponsored climate conference that brought together the U.S. and develop ing nations such as China, India and Brazil that are not required to make cuts under the Kyoto Protocol, the U.N.

Most of the talk behind closed doors focused on Japan's proposal that nations agree to cut global emissions by half of their current levels by 2050, said Bush's top environmental adviser, James Con- naughton. A Japanese state- ment to other conference bers called that proposal "a vision and not a legally binding target" The conference included representatives of other major industrial nations such as Russia, Britain, France and Germany have been realistic to expect at this first meeting to expect any country to change its position." He said he found Bush's speech "encouraging because it indicates that the U.S. wants to develop this discussion among the major economies, get into the substance, including on the question of goals and the type of regime mat's appropriate, and then feed that into the larger U.N. process." Bush said his purpose was to begin setting a new worldwide goal for cutting carbon dioxide emissions after 2012 and to help developing nations pay for the changes that would be needed.

mid-November. Aware that the issue could be potentially explosive politically, the White House released a day early the part of the president's radio address that dealt with the insurance program. In the address, Bush urged lawmakers to "work out a more responsible approach." "Congressional leaders have put forward an irresponsible plan that would dramatically expand this program beyond its original intent," he said in the remarks, which were taped Friday and being aired today. "And they know I will veto it." Eighteen Republicans joined a solid Democratic block Thursday when the Senate voted 67-29 for the $35 billion expansion. The House passed the bill Tuesday, 265-159, with 45 Republicans voting for it.

A veto override requires a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers, a threshold that Republicans say they can prevent in the House. Bush is likely to receive the legislation next week, lawmakers said. Bush has proposed a $5 billion increase in SCHIP, which now covers 6.6 million children from modest-income families that are not poor enough, to qualify for Medicaid. The bill approved this week by Congress, he Says, is too costly, goes beyond the program's original intent, and shifts too much insurance burden on the government rather than private providers. Analysts say the legislation would allow about 4 million of the estimated 9 million uninsured children in the United States to gain coverage.

Mini ouie Tent WASHINGTON (AP) -President Bush insisted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Friday that he's going ahead with his promised veto of a major expansion of a children's health program despite its overwhelming approval by Congress. Pelosi, said she told Bush in a morning phone call that she was praying he would change his mind.

"I think I have to pray a little harder," she told reporters moments later, at a Capitol ceremony where Democrats celebrated passage of the proposed $35 billion increase in the State Children's Health Insurance Program. It's doubtful that any new arguments were made in what Pelosi called "a friendly, friendly conversation." She said she reminded Bush that many Republicans voted to raise tobacco taxes to fund a program expansion, and that many governors from both parties support it. "He said he liked people whoi don't give up," Pelosi said, but he also made it clear he is ndt backing down. White House press secretary Dana Perino confirmed Pelosi's account. The president has been very clear for months that if the bill came to him in its current form that he would veto it," Perino said.

She added: "What he did say is, Tm going to veto this bill, and after that, let's see if we can sit down and come to a Congress and Bush have agreed t6 fund SCHIP, at its current level, at least through Child from page A I He said "anger and frustration will only take you so far," so it's time for the case to move forward.
