Ethics committee to revamp rules
WASHINGTON
(AP) — As the Sen
ate Ethics Commit
tee moves deeper
into the sexual
harassment case of Son. Boh
Backward, its new leaders
promise to accelerate investiga
tions and end the panel's repu
tation as a procrastinator's club
Chairman Richard H. Bryan
and Vice Chairman Mitch
McConnell already have ruled
decisively on how the commit
tee will investigate Pack wood,
R-Ore . accused by some two
dozen women of making unin
vited sexual advanc es
And Bryan. D-Nev., has put a
stop to one of the committee's
moat time-consuming traditions
the- attempt to reac h a unani
mous, fi-0 vote on disciplinary
decisions by the committee,
which consists of three Democ
rats and three Republicans
Now, a majority vote will c arry
the day. he says.
"Procrastination is the thief of
time," said Bryan, quoting the
trth Century and 18lh Century
English poet Edward Young
"We are committed to making
decisions."
And plenty of tough rulings
will be necessary in the Pack
wood case, as the committee
must In- fair to a senator accused
of boorish behavior and protect
the reputations of Ins female
accusers.
The committee went through
a housecleaning after last year.
Former Chairman Terry San
ford, D-N.C.. was defeated Vice
Chairman Warren Rudman, R
N H , left the Senate. Three oth
ers wanted no part of a commit
tee that has become a punching
l»ag for editorial writers and. less
publicly, fellow senators, over
delays and punishments that
some considered too soft.
The only holdover was Bryan,
a freshman senator who wasted
no time after his 19HH election
in seizing upon a controversial
issue . Ins plan to raise auto
mobile fuel efficiency standards
Two-term senator M< Connell.
R-Kv . also no stranger to tough
issues, is the Republicans' point
man on reforming campaign
finance law. He spoke for many
colleagues when he mused
aloud. "None of us ran for the
Senate saying. 'The first thing I
want to do is to hi- on the
ethics committee.'"
The panel now includes its
first woman. Democrat Barbara
Mikulski of Maryland, and sena
tors Thomas Daschle. D-S I) .
Ted Stevens. R-Alnska and
Robert Smith. R-N.H.
McConnell asked the commit
tee’s critics to "see if these six
members i an move the docket,
handle the cases efficiently and
function with a minimal amount
of impact on senators' times If
we can do that my guess is then*
will !>e fewer complaints."
He described fellow commit
‘Procrastination is
the thief of time.
We are committed
to making
decisions.'
Sen Richard H Bryan,
Ethics Committee chairman
tee members ns "fresh to the
process," but admitted, "After
two years we may all he blood'
led. beat up. discouraged and
recommending something brand
new. but 1 don't think that's the
i ase at the outset."
In its first substantive meeting
in the Pack wood case, the com
mittee adopted a permanent rule
that prohibits consideration of
any witness' sexual history.
And for Packwood's case
specifically, the committee said
the investigation would look at
allegations bv some of the
women that Packwood tried to
discredit them to keep them
from going public.
The committee has been flat
tered by critii ism for its inter
minable investigations — some
two years in the case of five sen
ators tied to thrift owner Charles
H. Keating |r . and only slightly
less time in other i uses.
Last year, as a rank-and-file
member, Bryan ended the tradi
tion of seeking a consensus.
Charges dropped in reporter's beating
SANTA MONICA, Calif (Al*) — A judge dis
missed attempted murder charges against three
drifters act used along with two others in the lie.it
ing and robbery of AliC news correspondent Gary
Shepard in his home in November
Superior (iourt judge James Albracht ruled Mon
day there wasn’t enough evidence to try Charles
Kay Hicks, 25; John Girou. 18, and Zoran Mar
janovec, ID. in the Nov. 2 attack
Hicks still faces charges of roblmry. burglary,
mayhem, auto theft and receiving stolen proper
ly. Girou and Marjanovec. a Norwegian national,
