The FDA approved St.

Louis-based Monsanto's version of the drug Nov. 5, ending a nine-year application process. But Congress blocked the sale of BST for 90 days, or until Feb. 3. Meanwhile, the budget office studied the impact of BST on consumer attitudes and federal spending on dairy programs.

"No significant reduction of demand for milk and dairy-products is expected to result from BST use," the report said. Although the government will have to spend more on price supports for dairy programs because of BST, those costs will be offset within 10 years because of the lower costs for nutrition programs such food Kevorkian By JULIA PRODIS Associated Press Writer PONTIAC, Mich. A prosecutor who tried and failed to pin murder charges on Dr. Jack Kevorkian ZVz years ago is using Michigan's ban on assisted suicide against him. Kevorkian was charged for the fourth time Tuesday with violating the ban, this time for his role in the Nov.

22 death of Dr. Ali Khalili, a victim of bone cancer. Khalili, 61, killed himself by inhaling carbon monoxide. "Continued defiance and disregard of the law passed by the duly elected representatives of the people cannot be condoned and must be resisted," Oakland County Prosecutor Richard Thompson said Tuesday. "I make no apologies for enforcing the law." Kevorkian was to be arraigned today.

The government spends more than $10 billion a year on commodity-support programs. The dairy programs cost about $280 million in 1993. The study estimated that BST would add $300 million to the cost of federal dairy programs over six years. The report also said U.S.

leadership in biotechnology "would be enhanced by proceeding with BST and would be impeded if there were new government obstacles to such biotech products." The administration has made previous statements emphasizing the importance of biotechnology. At the same time, the industry complains that a health care proposal to cap the price of drugs would discourage charged with another suicide assist investment in bioengineered pharmaceuticals. Sen. Russ Feingold, led the fight for the moratorium on grounds the drug would cause economic hardship for dairy farmers in his state. He had urged a one-year moratorium.

Feingold argued that consumers would reject BST milk at the same time cows were producing more, causing higher government surpluses and driving smaller producers out of business. Feingold will not comment on the report until it is officially released, an aide said. The report said small- and large-scale dairy farmers who use BST probably would have higher income because they could produce more milk from fewer cows. "BST favors years in prison and a $2,000 fine. Fieger said Thompson is overzeal-ously pursuing Kevorkian because a clerk in Thompson's office committed suicide in 1977 by inhaling carbon monoxide from her car in her garage.

Thompson said the suicide was "totally irrelevant." Kevorkian has been present at 20 Suicides since mid-1990 five of Winter Can Be Stressful Time Caregivers You Are Not Alone!

On the other hand, it said, income from dairy farming will drop 1 percent over six years as BST reinforces existing trends in the. dairy industry toward fewer farmers and cows.

Farmers in Wisconsin and other upper Midwestern states have been plagued by a variety of economic problems, including lack of good forage since the 1988 drought The wet spring and summer of 1993 aggravated the problem. The report said BST would have little effect, if any, on U.S. dairy exports because nearly half the American export volume goes to countries that have approved the drug. them since the Legislature passed the law. He has been charged twice in Oakland County and twice in Wayne County with breaking the law.

He was jailed for 18 days in November and staged a hunger strike when bail of $50,000 in cash was set in one case. a for Hdmewdod AT MARTINSBURG a A I COUNTY. PA By ROBERT GREENE AP Form Writer WASHINGTON A genetically engineered hormone that enhances muk production in cows is safe and will make milk cheaper for consumers, an administration report says. "The net national economic impact of BST usage is expected to be positive," said a draft version of a report on the hormone whose full name is recombinant bovine somatotropin by the Office of Management and Budget. Less than a month before a con-gressionally imposed moratorium ends, the administration also reaffirmed its position that BST is safe.

"There is no evidence that BST poses a health threat to humans- or animals," said the report, a summa Packwood offers rebuttal By CHARLES E. BEGGS Associated Press Writer ALBANY, Ore. In his first detailed response to allegations of sexual misconduct, Sen. Bob Packwood said one of his accusers kissed him many times. Gena Hutton went public about a year ago with charges that the Oregon Republican grabbed her, kissed her and invited her to his hotel room one evening in 1980.

On Tuesday, Packwood told a Rotary Club audience that Hutton kissed him the next day and on a number of later occasions. He said she continued her volunteer work for him until 1984 and at one point asked him to loan her money. Packwood said he did not make the loan. "I hope Gena says, 'Well, no. I didn't go to Coos Bay, or I never went to Salem, or I didn't go to Portland, or I didn't line up all.

those days, or I didn't kiss him, or I didn't want to borrow money, or I didn't go to dinner, or I didn't play because for each of those incidents we will have evidence and we will have witnesses," Packwood said. The meeting was one of six events Packwood attended in Oregon Monday and Tuesday, his first public appearances in his home state in five months. Hutton said Tuesday that she didn't remember kissing Pack-wood and never asked to borrow money. She said she was not an active volunteer after 1980, although she attended some campaign events. Asked if she had made sexual advances toward Packwood, the Eugene woman said: "No.

That is absolutely not true." The Senate Ethics Committee is investigating allegations by more than two dozen women that Packwood made unwanted sexual advances, intimidated some of his accusers and attempted to obstruct the probe by altering his diaries. Packwood has apologized in general for ('unwelcome and offensive advances" but had not addressed the allegations By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday. Jan. 5, the fifth day of 1994.

One of the four charges against Kevorkian was thrown out Dec. 14 by a Wayne County judge who declared the law unconstitutional. An appeals court will hear arguments Thursday on the law, which was enacted last year to stop Kevorkian. Kevorkian attorney Geoffrey Fie-ger, who once pinned a clown nose on a picture of Thompson during a news conference, warned the prosecutor in a letter that arresting Kevorkian "would be even stupider than the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life (and, believe me, you have done some unbelievably stupid things)." Thompson filed murder charges against Kevorkian in three early cases. But those charges were thrown out by judges who ruled that Michigan has no law against helping someone commit suicide.

That led to the ban on assisted suicide.

The weather makes it difficult to engage in outdoor activities, such as walking or scenic driving.
