NATIONAL BRIEFS
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tax
payer* have been cheated out of
hundreds of millions of dollars
in student-loan money by fi
nancial middlemen, a Senate
panel was told Tuesday.
Chief Investigator David
Buckley told the Senate Perma
nent Subcommittee on Investi
gations that some lenders,
guarantee agencies. loan
servicers, and the student loan
secondary markets have abused
the system by pocketing pro
cessing fees due the govern
ment and by granting more
loans than the law allows.
*'Qur investigation has con
firmed that there are enough fi
nancial institution and servicer
participants taking shortcuts,
misrepresenting themselves,
and engaging in fraud and
abuse to cheat the taxpayer out
of hundreds of millions of dol
lars and seriously threaten the
reputation and future stability
of these programs.” said Buck
ley. reading from a staff state
ment.
These activities occurred
with little attention from the
Department of Kducation. de
scribed in the report as "a very
poor enforcer of federal law
and regulation over program
participants." the staff report
said.

Abortion rale reversed
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Senate voted Thursday to re
verse Bush administration reg
ulations that prohibit federally
supported family planning
clinics from offering informa
tion on abortion.
The regulations, which are
the subject of a case before the
Supreme Court, were imposed
in 1988 by the Keagan
administratin and continued af
ter President Bush took office.
They have become the focus of
debate between both sides of
the abortion issue.
The Senate voted 63-35 to ap
prove an amendment offered by
Sen. John Chafee. R-R.L. say
ing the clinics must provide
"information and counseling
concerning all legal and medi
cal options” to pregnant wom
en who ask for it, including
"pregnancy termination."

pictures of cloud-covered Ve
nus show windblown dust de
posits. a crater the size of Los

McD's manager ‘not a hero’
LA VERNE. Calif. (AP) ' A
young man who helped author
ities capture a gunman who
held 20 people hostage inside a
McDonald's restaurant said
Tuesday he was a reluctant
hero.
"All I knew was to take care
of my people, my crew,” said
the restaurant's assistant man
ager, Ramiro Gironas. "I’m
glad I’m safe and that all my
people are safe. I’m not a hero.
I just did what I had to."
Police said Gironas. 21. hid
in the kitchen during the sev
en-hour standoff Monday night
and Tuesday morning and kept
them informed by phone of the
gunman's movements.

sive charges and overpower
him shortly after midnight.
None of the hostages was hurt.
de Klerk offers new system
WASHINGTON (AP) -
South African President F. W'.
de Klerk said Tuesday he envi
sions a new power-sharing sys
tem for his country that will en
sure that no one race will ever
again be able to dominate an
other politically.
Speaking at a press luncheon
as he neared the end of his offi
cial visit, de Klerk also said the
U.S. sanctions imposed against
South Africa in 1986 slowed
down the reform process.
His message at the National
Press Club was essentially the
same as it has been since his ar
rival here Sunday morning:
that South Africa is embarked
on an irreversible course away
from white supremacist rule
and toward a new system that
will embody the same values
that Americans cherish.
