on Air Force One on the trip to
Israel for the funeral of Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Gingrich told reporters
Wednesday he knew his feelings
were “petty but human.”
“I think all of this is outra-
geous,” Panetta said of Gingrich
and Dole’s unhappiness, “because
their egos weren’t stroked.”
“This was a funeral trip,” he
said, adding that it would not have
been appropriate for Clinton to
talk about the budget with con-
gressional leaders during a trip to
UP Briefs
mourn the loss of a friend.
Meanwhile, Panetta said it was
regrettable that the budget crisis
had forced the president to cancel
his trip to the Asian Pacific
Economic summit in Osaka,
Japan, and state visit to Tokyo.
Clinton had planned to leave for
Japan this morning. Vice
President A1 Gore will make the
trip instead.
The 277 votes for the House-
passed measure were shy of the
two-thirds majority needed to
overturn the expected veto. But
the measure was supported by a
considerable number of
Democrats.
“We are saying to the presi-
dent, ‘We will give you the money
to bring back the furloughed
employees,”’ House Speaker
Newt Gingrich said during the
floor debate late Wednesday. “All
you have to do is sign on the dot-
ted line that you support a bal-
anced budget in seven years. It’s
that simple.”
The bill is similar to one
Clinton vetoed Monday, trigger-
ing the partial shutdown. GOP
leaders stripped Medicare lan-
guage Clinton objected to in the
original stopgap bill, but added
wording that would require the
president to commit to a seven-
year balanced budget plan
approved by the non-partisan
Congressional Budget Office.
Clinton said he favors a bal-
anced budget, but prefers his own
budget plan backed by the admin-
istration’s Office of Management
and Budget, which rated the plan
more favorably than the CBO.

TAN provides services to
325 people who have been
diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
There are more than 200

“These children will

HIV/AIDS,” Melissa Kilmer,
TAN administrative assistant,
said.

up 27 percent of all new AIDS
cases reported in 1994, Cole
said.
In developing countries,
heterosexual males make up
90 percent of the people con-
tracting HIV.
“It is affecting more het-
erosexual males, women of
child bearing years and
teenagers rather than gay
white males like it was in the
beginning,” Kilmer said.
“This disease affects every-
body now, not just a small
group.”
In the United States, AIDS
is the third leading cause of
death for African American
and Hispanic women.
By the year 2000, AIDS
will be the second highest
killer of women in the United
States, statistics show.
WHO estimates there will
be more than .15 million
women in the world infected
with HIV by the year 2000.

all work together.”
