He said "America's record is second to none" on the environment "No other nation has done more, more rapidly, to clean up the water, the air or preserve public lands," Bush said. He added that "environmental protection and a growing economy are inseparable." Bush said a strong VS.

economy is important not Just for Americans, but for the rest of the world, including the developing countries who are clamoring for some environmental treaties unacceptable to the United States. During a photo session before leaving the White House, he was asked if he expected to be the brunt of continued heavy criticism from other countries at the Earth Summit "Doesn't matter," Bush snapped. "We are the United States. We're the leader in the environment We've got a good record. I represent the people on this visit" The United States is spending $130 billion annually, or about 2 percent of its gross national product cleaning up From pollution.

This statistic has been cited often in recent days by administration officials trying to paint the United States as long on action and its critics as long on talk. In Panama, many still are bitter over damage and loss of life from the December 1989 invasion that Bush ordered to topple Noriega from power and bring him to trial in Miami on drug charges. He was convicted. Also, while the invasion was welcomed by many at the time, there is some feeling that the act stripped Panama of its dignity. Nonetheless, most Panamanians welcome the VS.

Aides maintained that he was not in for an uncomfortable 40 hours there, despite his refusal to sign one of the centerpiece treaties of the historic gathering one that would preserve the diverse wildlife of the world's forests. WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State James A. Baker III is flying to London Thursday night in an attempt to nail down a new missile-reduction agreement with Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev in time for next week's summit between Russian President Boris N.

Yeltsin and President Bush. Baker made the decision after talking to Kozyrev by telephone, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. Baker and Kozyrev have been negotiating for months over the terms of a new round of cuts in long-range bombers, missiles and submarines beyond those required under the new START missile-reduction treaty. Boucher said they would meet at the Russian embassy in London at pm Friday and come to Washington in time for the summit The official declined to assess prospects for an accord, which would be the centerpiece of the talks Bush will hold here next Tuesday through Thursday with Yeltsin. Boucher said the date of Baker's return to Washington was "not set" The United States is demanding the Russians give up all land-based missiles with multiple warheads but is willing to part with only about one-third of its powerful submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

"It win be a real tragedy for arms control and for the leaderships in Russia and the United States if they fail to reach an agreement next week," Spurgeon M. Keeny president and executive director of the Arms Control Association, said Thursday. Jack Mendelsohn, deputy director of the private research group, said the VS. proposal presents the Russians with a significant problem since land-based missiles account for about 60 percent of their long-range nuclear arsenal and only about 25 percent of US. nuclear strength.

Raymond Garthoff of the Brookings Institution said the United States had been "spoiled" by a willingness of the Soviet Union and then Russia to "roll over and accept one-sided proposals" in previous negotiations. Keeny, Mendelsohn and Garthoff, all former VS. arms control officials, spoke at a news conference. Bush on Wednesday dropped Baker from the VS. delegation to the Earth Summit in Brazil and instructed him to step up negotiations for the nuclear weapons agreement past a second term," Clinton said in Little Rock, Ark.

Sea Robert Byrd, has said the amendment would fall short of the 67 votes it needs in the Senate, though Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said the Senate outcome is in doubt Under unusual House procedures in place, four possible versions of the amendment were being debated in a prearranged order. Lawmakers could vote for as many as they liked, but the last one passed would be the only survivor. Whatever the outcome, the political battle encapsulated the failure of a divided government to either raise taxes or cut spending, or both, in order to rein in deficits that approach $400 billion this year. Torn by incompatible public demands to hold down taxes but to continue popular government programs, Congress and Bush were turning to a third option: Make someone else decide in the future.

"We are asking the American public to believe that this 'simple' amendment is the equivalent of changing copper into gold," said Rep. Mike Synar, DOkkL, an opponent Not balanced Bush was supporting the amendment even though the Republican president has never presented Congress with a federal budget that was in balance, or even close. Likely Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton charged Bush was making political hay while avoiding the real issue, the deficit "This is just a way that the president can put this responsibility off GED page 1 was 21 or 20 years old.

Sumi's response: "Nothing moves forward if we focus only on the negative side of the issue. Instead, I would like to respect feelings of the couples, who want their own children so badly."

"I believe it's much broader than the United States. The whole world is in a funk," 'At the heart of the president's malaise is a witches' brew of problems and unflattering perceptions of him, analysts say. Many of the difficulties spring from the economy, which under Bush has been at its weakest since World War vl: IfThe recession has finally crystallized in many peoples' mind the sense Ut they have been going downhill, that they're running faster to stand still, that median incomes are really not increasing above inflation," said Stuart Eizenstat was White House domestic, adviser to Jimmy Carter.

From pegel Moms egg or it is not healthy enough, however, the surrogate's egg is used. Because of that possibility, Japanese couples insist on Asian-American surrogates. Although the Infertility Center is the only service in Japan openly arranging surrogate pregnancies, some gynecologists are believed to have performed egg transplants.

The Infertility Center pays surrogate mothers $10,000. The rest of the cost is mainly for the medical procedure, which must be done outside Japan. No Japanese law prohibits surrogate motherhood, but ethical standards set by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology say an egg removed for fertilization cannot be implanted in another woman. The society also limits in vitro, or "test tube," fertilization to married couples. Toranoshin Ono, director of Ichi-kawa General Hospital, sees surrogate motherhood as shaking "the very foundation of our social order." He believes the children would not fit neatly into the mandatory registries that provide basic information about every Japanese citizen, including identities of the mother and father.

"It's sort of a creeping sense that you've seen build over the years that something really is seriously wrong," said political consultant Jody Powell, who was Carter's press secretary. "The people have sort of come to the conclusion that he's not the guy to fix it" "We have built the presidency up so much in this country," Nofziger said. "He's responsible for all that's good and all that's bad.

When things go wrong we always blame the president" Yeutter said leadership is a problem that Bush recognizes he must address. He said the president's leadership Is more fully understood outside the borders of the United States than it is inside." Bush lost credibility with many Americans when he reneged on his read-my-lips-no-new-taxes pledge, observers said. It damaged him with conservatives "and that began to have a more corrosive effect generally," said Norman Ornstein, a presidential analyst at the American Enterprise Institute. Some analysts believe Bush's successes in foreign policy backfired by showing he had a strong hand overseas but then was unable to solve problems at home. "The victory in the (gulf) war has made no appreciable difference in the everyday life of the average American," said Mark Mellman, a Democratic strategist and pollster.
