"My motto is 'America First," Graham said.

"Just look at Haiti. Immigration problems are not a very good reason to use military force." Bryan said that while the Haiti incident was unfortunate, it was inevitable. "Nobody wanted to go to Haiti, but what were our Bryan said. "I hope we can get out of there in six months, but we really had no other choice." Graham said that supporting other nations in their quest for democracy would have a great impact on America. The primary focus of foreign policy should be to create relationships that are good for America, he said.

But, Bryan noted that America needed to cut back on aid given to foreign countries, and use that money to pay off the deficit. Each candidate provided different reasons as to why Congress is viewed lo poorly by the public. "The public sometimes loses sight of the fact that Congress is a very diverse body," Bryan said. "No one is ever going to be totally satisfied with legislation that comes out of there because it (the legislation) will always be a compromise of different ideas." Graham said Congress is an institution that no longer serves the American people. "Congress lives above the laws you and I have to abide by," Graham said.

"If you did what Congress does, you'd go to jail." (Continued from page 1) Democrat Bryan disagreed on many key issues facing voters, but did see eye-to-eye on the fact that Congress desperately needs to change. "This election is about change," Graham said. "But, what vehicle should be used to obtain it? I think nothing is going to change unless we free up the government and place it in the hands of conservative people." However, Bryan offered a different solution for creating change among legislators. Bryan said the sound bites and gimmicks by Congress had to stop. He also accused Graham of signing a contract to promote the gimmicks of the Republican Party.

"The bottom line in this campaign is, 'who can best reflect your views in Bryan said Disagreement also occurred over a discussion of the Agricultural Labor Laws concerning farmers who had to handle dangerous chemicals or pesticides. "We need these laws because people basically have to have a safe working environment," Bryan said. "But, we need to weigh the cost of these regulations against the impact these regulations are going to have." Graham said these laws weren't needed because private enterprise would take care of its employees. "We don't need the federal government to play mom and dad," Graham said.

"Much has been asked of you and you have delivered." The Senate resolution, passed 91-8, was a compromise worked out by Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, and Minority Leader Bob Dole, following a strong appeal from the White House and the Pentagon not to handcuff an ongoing operation by setting a specific withdrawal date. The House settled on the same language in a bill championed by Armed Services Committee Chairman Ronald Dellums, after rejecting two other resolutions that put tighter restrictions on the mission. The lawmakers approved the Dellums version 258-167, then reaffirmed it in a 236-182 vote for final passage of the bill. The Republican-supported proposal, defeated 225-205 sought an immediate, orderly withdrawal and said Congress would vote no later than Jan. 21, 1995, on requiring the president to remove all troops within 30 days.

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Lee Hamilton, and Rep. Robert Torricelli, sponsored language authorizing the Haiti mission until March 1, and providing for a vote after Feb. 1 on extending that authorization. It was defeated 398-27.

"I congratulated Peter Mitchell on becoming a branch campus of The Citadel," said Fred Sheheen, commissioner of the state's Commission on Higher Education. "The wording could imply state oversight of our curriculum and admission standards," Mitchell said.

"If that were the case, that would be unacceptable." "It' not clear how admissions is to work," McDaniel said. "As an independent college we want to maintain control over our admissions standards and curriculum." But Citadel spokesman Rick Mill said the two colleges shouldn't worry.

However, Filler said the bullets could have been a "coup de grace" intended to finish off victims who were still alive. No weapons were found near the bodies.

Friends and family members of some of the dead have been adamant that their loved ones would not have killed themselves. Authorities were not discounting a possible mass suicide by cult members. They won't have answer until autopsies are completed. Police said the 25 bodies found Wednesday in ski chalets near the southwestern village of Granges-Sur-Salvan showed no signs of violence and appeared to "have been put to sleep. Some of the 23 victims found 45 miles away in a burning hillside farmhouse in Cheiry had been injected with "a powerful, violent" drug that could have killed them, Filler said.

Some had their hands bound and plastic bags tied around their heads. The victims belonged to a mysterious group called the Order of the Solar Tradition, led by Belgian doctor Luc Jouret. Jouret' disappearance continues to mystify police, who are searching for him. "I don't khow if he's alive or dead," Filler said.

theft of motor vehicle parts or incident. "It's a classical congressional dodge," he said. "We leave no fingerprints by passing that amendment. What we have done is protect our political flanks, what we have not done is exwcise our constitutional responsibility." But the debate boiled down to partisan wrangling over the administration's Haiti policy. "We have to get on the record our belief that the administration's Haitian policy made no sense two months ago, makes no sense now and cannot conceivably make any sense in the near future," said House Minority Leader Robert Michel, sponsor of the.

Republican plan. But House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, said that never before had Congress renounced a military operation already under way. "For first time in our history it would say to our courageous young troops, when your safety is on the line, when you are laying the foundations for peace and democracy in our backyard, we're going to pull the rug out from under you, he said. In the Senate, Sen. Dennis DeConcini, called criticism of the mission a "political attack against this president" and warned that it could become jeopardized "if we continue to let this be a political issue." Voting against the resolution in the Senate were Sens.

Max Baucus, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd, D-W. Russell Feingold, Mark Hatfield, Larry Pressler, Bill Bradley, and Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, did not vote. "We could see flames shooting out the window," Zander said.

Department of Labor about Mount Vernon's achievement. "Something like this can only be accomplished by employees and management workinf together," continued Duffie. McCormick plant manager Derrell Gregory highlighted three Thelma Sibert, Ruth Price, and Betty Holloway who had been with the plant for the entire 28 years of the safety streak. Roger Chastain, president of Mount Vernon Mills, congratulated McCormick employees on their super safe 1 1,000,000 hours. "Something like this can only accomplished through hard woi and conscientious devotion.

"No one has said we will take over admissions requirements from any other college," Mill said. "Young women must first meet those college's standards and then apply" for the military program. The military training would be provided through ROTC at Wofford College for Converse students, the University of South Carolina for Columbia students and supplemental summer training.

None of this will come to pass without approval by the court, the state Legislature and the Commission on Higher Education. Some state lawmakers said Thursday they think the plan would pass the Legislature. It is not clear how much it would cost taxpayers. "I think we will be able to fund it based on financial projections for next year," said Sen. John Courson, R-Columbia.

Canadian police Thursday discovered three more bodies, including that of an infant, in a house owned by Jouret north of Montreal. The infant's body was found behind a water heater with a plastic bag over its head. "We still haven't determined how they died, but we're sure they were murdered," said provincial police Const. Michel Brunei Two charred bodies had been found earlier at the house, which was destroyed in an arson fire Tuesday. The fire was set by remote control in the same manner as the fires that razed the Cheiry farmhouse and the chalets.

Police detained several past and present cult members for questioning Thursday, and others were being sought. Piller said police found the cars of three cult members who had left the farm in Cheiry shortly before the deaths: He would not say if the vehicles belonged to those detained, whom he refused to identify. Documents showed that several cult members were in a dispute with the cult's leaders over money, Piller said, and Swiss television speculated that Jouret and another cult leader, Joseph di Mambro, made the deaths look like a mass suicide to quash re volt Piller said One of the foreign victims was found with a letter to her family explaining that she had come to Switzerland to die. Jean-Francois Mayer, a leading cult expert, said he had received three documents in the mail from a presumed member of the cult saying members wanted, to escape the "hypocrisies of this world." "What I read confirmed the theory of horrible mass suicide," Mayer told Swiss radio. He said he believed the documents were mailed by members of the cult.

Carroll Campbell. "This plant not only holds the state record, I would hazard a guess that it is one of the safest work sites on planet Earth! Maybe we should notify the 'Guiness Book of World Records'," Duffie noted to the cheers of Mount Vernon employees. "There are three basic steps to safety: Follow the rules, wear protective equipment, and my favorite, look out for each other. Mount Vernon has never had a disabling injury, that's almost incredible. The employees here at the McCormick plant obviously live by those three steps," added Duffie.
