CLINTON Continued from Page 1A meeting: "I don't think we're going to have to push the administration to get back to us. I think it's going to be soon." The biggest problem facing marginal production tax breaks is that budget rules require lawmakers to find ways to offset costs unless the Congressional Budget Office agrees that the proposal is revenue-neutral. Lawmakers said Clinton suggested that the tax incentives shouldn't be considered increased costs, because without the tax relief thousands of stripper wells will be shut down and the taxes they generate lost. About 15 percent of the nation's oil comes from some 450,000 stripper wells that produce less than 10 barrels day. Those wells have been struggling to make a profit under depressed market conditions.
"I was very encouraged at the interest that the president showed," said Texas GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who outlined how Texas' plan to boost marginal production has resulted in revenue increases. The Texas Legislature enacted marginal drilling incentives that are bringing in $3 of revenue for every $1 in incentives, she noted. After the meeting, Hutchison said the president approached her and asked for more information about the Texas incentives. Continued from Page 1A Monday after his ex-wife was slain.
A patron of a nearby gasoline station said he saw a person fitting Simpson's description in that lot Monday, Detective Bert Luper of the Los Angeles Police Department said. He wouldn't say what they were looking for. "We're working on an anonymous tip. We're here to collect evidence with the Chicago police said Luper, one of two LAPD officers in Chicago investigating the slayings. Police have refused to discuss the case but a police source told The Associated Press that the investigation was focusing solely on Simpson.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Simpson would be arrested soon. At Goldman's funeral, there was an undercurrent of anger among mourners. "I want O.J. to turn himself in, that's all," said Frank Enderle, a family friend. "Now 0.J., if you turn yourself in at least your children would have some money because you are going to spend all your money on court cases and you are going to lose." At Nicole Simpson's funeral, one mourner, T.J.
Carter, said her mother had eulogized her 35-yearold daughter as "a great mom and a great friend." Simpson didn't speak during the funeral for his wife of seven years. Among those at the service were Olympian Bruce Jenner and baseball player Steve Garvey. About 200 members of the news media were kept across the street. After Nicole Simpson's funeral, Simpson embraced the priest, greeted friends and got into his car for the 50-mile procession to Ascension Cemetery in Lake Forest. Security was so tight there that even the priest who conducted graveside services was stopped and asked for identification.
Before the burial, nine girlhood friends of Nicole Simpson traded stories of jumping off high-dives and playing pranks as children. "It's really sad to have a grade school reunion this way," one said. Simpson apparently returned to his Brentwood mansion in the early evening. Hiding his face, he was hustled into the house by two men who wrapped their arms around him. Part of the investigation Thursday focused on blood recovered at the murder scene that the Los Angeles Times reported matched Simpson's blood type.
But such a match doesn't mean Simpson was at the scene of the slayings because many people have the same blood types. Simpson attorney Robert L. Shapiro refused to discuss the report. The Times had previously reported that Simpson had scratches on his body when police questioned him Monday. Nicole Simpson's throat was slashed, and Goldman's wounds indicate he put up a fierce struggle before he died, investigators said.
Police also were reported to have found bloodstains in Simpson's driveway and his Ford Bronco, and a bloody glove at his mansion and another at the crime scene. Tests on the gloves have not been completed, the newspaper said. Shapiro has said that at the time of the slayings, Simpson was two miles away at his Brentwood mansion waiting for a limousine ride to the airport. In other developments: An unidentified limousine driver who says he took Simpson to the airport Sunday said Simpson wasn't at his estate at 10:45 p.m. but showed up 15 minutes later looking sweaty and agitated, the syndicated TV news magazine "Hard Copy" reported.
An unidentified woman jogging on Nicole Simpson's street the night of the slayings told the Los Angeles Times she saw a car matching the description of Simpson's parked across the street from his ex-wife's house. On Saturday, the day before the killings, Simpson attended a party in Beverly Hills with modelactress Paula Barbieri, according to her manager, Tom Hahn. Hahn denied reports the two are romantically involved, saying they were just friends. OFFICIAL Russia will not back sanctions Continued from Page 1A ministration had discussed sanctions with President Boris Yeltsin's government and continued to do so. "These contacts between the United States government and the Russian government on this issue have been well documented," White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers said.
Christine Shelly, a State Department spokeswoman, said Secretary of State Warren Christopher talked with Kozyrev Thursday morning, adding the two have been in "near-continuous contact on the issue." "They are working the issue extremely closely," she said. "We have every expectation they will find common ground to proceed in a unified way on the Korean issue." Washington proposed Wednesday the Security Council ban North Korean arms sales and suspend U.N. development projects there. The measures would be intended to pressure North Korea to allow full U.N. inspections of its nuclear facilities.
North Korea's refusal to permit inspections has fueled fears it is trying to produce atomic weapons in violation of the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty. The hard-line Communist regime in Pyongyang denies it is developing nuclear arms. Kozyrev said Secretary of State Warren Christopher had agreed in a telephone conversation that the Clinton administration would not propose sanctions on its own. "We had a clear agreement to jointly draft a resolution that on the one hand would take into account the possibility of imposing sanctions, and on the other would call for holding an international conference to solve the North Korean problem," Kozyrev was quoted as saying. He said the sanctions proposed by the Clinton administration would be highly undesirable, but might prove inevitable if North Korea is found to have violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Russia, which gave North Korea its nuclear know-how during the Soviet era, has been reluctant to support the United States, South Korea and Japan on U.N. sanctions. COUNTY Approves juvenile detention center Continued from Page 1A nancial concerns ahead of the need for a larger detention center. "We'll need to build a third or a fourth floor on our county jail to deal with these kids because they were not turned around," he said. County Court-at Law Judge Laura A.
Weiser, chairman of the juvenile board, then told commissioners that despite concerns about costs. "The costs that we are not considering here is the cost of allowing these juveniles to remain in this community to commit delinquent conduct," she said. "That is a real cost." The juvenile board recommended that the commissioners approve the agreement by a 3-2 vote with two members abstaining. District Judge W.W. Kilgore was most vocal in his opposition, questioning whether the facility is necessary.
"The question is, 'Why should the county enter into a $25 million obligation to take care of these kids when we can send them to the Texas Youth Commission at no cost to the he said. Kilgore said he based the $25 million figure on financing and operational costs of the facility. Under the terms of the agreement, Victoria County would lease the center from RECOR for about $506,000 a year for 15 years, after which it could buy it for $1. According to a feasibility study prepared by RECOR, the county could take in more than $800,000 a year by charging other counties $75 to $85 a day to house their juvenile offenders. That figure was based on 18 beds being occupied by offenders from outside Victoria County at any given time.
Officials here have estimated that only about 20 beds would be needed for Victoria County offenders. VIRUS Blamed for jump in dolphin deaths Continued from Page 1A "Many people have speculated as to what the cause of death was in these animals," Worthy said. "Some of these suggestions ranged from long term exposure to pollution, toxic spills, red tide or even deliberate killings. "It now appears that the actual cause was a naturally occurring virus, which may be a relatively recent import into the Gulf of Mexico." The virus was implicated in the deaths of more than 1,000 dolphins in the Mediterranean Sea in 1990; 10,000 seals in Lake Baikal in 1987; and 17,000 seals in the North Sea in 1988. Worthy said dolphins which have died in the Mediterranean tended to have high levels of the toxin organochlorines, which causes a breakdown in the immune system.
"Texas dolphins generally do not have orgaochlorine concentrations as high as those in the Mediterranean," Worthy said. "The comparatively low number of deaths in Texas waters may suggest that Gulf of Mexico dolphins are in better condition than those in the Mediterranean and that, because of this relatively mild outbreak, our population may have had a chance to develop a natural immunity." Haubold said the majority of the strandings were in April and May and "there have been none in June." By taking into account current patterns, prevailing winds and the length of time between death and stranding, Worthy speculated that the deaths may have taken place in an area south of Louisiana. "It must be emphasized that this is only an educated guess and we will likely never know exactly where the deaths occurred," he said. The Port O'Connor observer for the TMMSN is Bob Dooley. Any information regarding strandings should be reported to him at 512-983-4230.
