White House Press Briefing by Tony Snow James S. Brady Briefing Room.

12:40 P.M. EDT

MR. SNOW: Welcome, everybody. I'll begin with the bupkis list from this morning; then we will get to the issues at hand.

In response to Helen's question about India's missile test, India has actually had a nuclear program -- it embarked upon a nuclear power program in 1958, and has had nuclear devices since 1974. It began testing missiles in 1983, and had the first successful launch in 1988. Whatever one may think, India has embarked upon a nuclear program.

Now, there is a significant difference and a noteworthy difference between India and North Korea. India has pursued its program in such a way as not to be a threat of provocation to its neighbors. In that regard, it informed the United States in advance, and as it has by agreement, also notified the Pakistanis. It did it in a transparent and non-threatening way.

North Korea, meanwhile, not only defied the express wishes of its neighbors and others in the neighborhood, it also fired missiles as a provocation, without warning, to others, and therefore, has created the diplomatic activity that you now see.

So those are the significant differences between the two.

Q If they had notified the U.S., would it have been okay?

MR. SNOW: No, because North Korea also had said that it would, in fact, adopt a moratorium. Keep in mind, in -- last September 19th, the North Koreans, at the six-party talks, said that they would break down their nuclear program. They would dismantle the nuclear weapons program, while retaining the right, in their words, for a peaceful civilian --

Q And we said we would supply them --

MR. SNOW: Excuse me, excuse me -- and the second thing they said is that they would have a moratorium on missile firings. They also committed to come back to the table. They have refused to do so, primarily because of a dispute about money laundering that had to do with counterfeiting U.S. currency for uses in drug and arms markets.

Let me continue on some of the other questions from the bupkis list this morning. Steve Dinan wanted to know about the point at which we we're going to cut the federal budget in half. Steve is not here -- well, I'll give it to the rest of you. That was back in February of 2004, when there was a projected $521 billion deficit, and so we're looking at the halfway point of that.

Next up, Basayev -- we still have not been able to confirm the death of Mr. Basayev. On the other hand, he was a terrorist; he laid claim to a number of high-profile terrorist attacks, including the 2004 attack on a school in Beslan. He was designated a terrorist by the United States, under Executive 13224, and by the United Nations pursuant to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1267.

Let's see -- in response to the World Cup question from Victoria, the President did watch part of the World Cup and he will pass on congratulations to Prime Minister Prodi when they meet at the G8.

You probably know, a few minutes ago, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced that the U.N. Security Council would, at least for a while, suspend consideration of a Japanese-sponsored resolution with regard to North Korea. Chinese government officials, as I've told you for several days, are dispatching a high-level delegation to speak with the North Koreans in hopes that the North Koreans will achieve the goal that everybody is committed to, which is, again, as I've mentioned, having the North Koreans dismantle their nuclear weapons program and cease missile firings, in addition, returning to the six-party talks.

Helen.

Q What did India say its reason was for firing a nuclear-capable long-range missile at a time when this is under such suspicion?

MR. SNOW: It didn't do it, but one of the things it did do, Helen -- this was not seen as a provocation by the United States or the Pakistanis. Both of them would have reason to do it. Nor has it precipitated the kind of diplomatic concern --

Q So why did they do it?

MR. SNOW: Let me continue. They are -- they keep their secrets pretty clearly, and they didn't make any public explanation to that. On the other hand, you will note that there has not been the kind of diplomatic response or the kind of concern expressed by its neighbors, as there has been to the firing in North Korea of its missiles.

Kelly.

Q No, no, wait a minute. Why did they do it?

MR. SNOW: Why don't you ask them?

Q I can't ask them, but I can certainly see our acquiescence in a very contradictory way.

MR. SNOW: You may think it's contradictory, Helen. You're wrong.

Q I'm not. (Laughter.)

Q Is China taking the kind of role that the U.S. has wanted them to take?

MR. SNOW: I'm sorry, again -- I love that laugh. That was so good. (Laughter.) I completely lost my train of thought. Kelly, you're going to have to -- (laughter.) That was really good. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Q Do you view this sort of adjustment in the approach to North Korea as China stepping up in a way the U.S. wants them to?

MR. SNOW: We think it's a constructive step that the Chinese are willing to go ahead and really commit to trying to get the North Koreans to abide by the agreements they made last September 19th. So it's a -- we view, we regard it as a positive development, yes, the Chinese stepping forward.

Q Japan has also been at least floating the idea of a preemptive strike on North Korea's nuclear launch capabilities, or their -- at least their launch capabilities, even though that's in contradiction to their constitution. Since the U.S. has taken preemptive action, would the President support that idea?

MR. SNOW: I think -- let's put it in context -- I believe that Mr. Abe said that they would have to seek constitutional changes; they would not try to be extra-constitutional. But it is worth considering what a nuclear North Korea might mean in the region, because other nations may feel compelled to try to defend themselves by whatever means necessary. We're committed to the aim of having a non-nuclear Korean Peninsula, and one of the reasons is that it would avoid having an arms race in the region. So I think one of the reasons why the Chinese are concerned about this, and it's a very reasonable concern, is that they also share our view about the importance of a non-nuclear Korean Peninsula.

What you're seeing here -- and we talked about this a little bit this morning -- preemption is not merely a military doctrine, it's also a diplomatic doctrine. And in this case, we are engaging in preemption at the diplomatic level by working as aggressively and assertively as we can with our allies to get the government in Pyongyang simply to abide by its past promises. It seems that that is a government that is going to do a lot better for itself and its people if it simply goes back to what it promised to do last September 19th.

So you have the Chinese involved, the Japanese involved; you have the Russians, the United States. You have all of the parties to the six-party talks but the North Koreans. And there has been talk, even, of a five-party talk at some juncture. The point here is that the United States has managed to get a coalition where everybody now is assuming responsibility for working with each other, and also pressing the North Koreans vigorously to avoid having the kind of consequences we've been talking about.

Jake.

Q What's the difference in terms of the pressure the White House feels that it's under to resolve the issues in North Korea and Iran, versus the pressure in 2002 during the State of the Union, when the President talked about the need to go to war in Iraq?

MR. SNOW: Well, what's happened -- I'm not sure that you feel pressure, except in the case of Iran [sic] you had a nation that had already spurned 17 separate United Nations resolutions, the United Nations Security Council voting 15-0 on a resolution, saying to Iran [sic], cooperate or face serious consequences. You had -- I believe it was 72 votes in the United States Senate. So the point here is that --

Q Were you just talking about Iran, or Iraq?

MR. SNOW: Well, you were just asking about Iraq, right?

Q Yes. I thought you said, Iran. Okay.

MR. SNOW: You know, I may have screwed up. I meant Iraq. Helen has got me so befuddled today. (Laughter.) The point is that --

Q The resolutions never said, "war."

MR. SNOW: Thank you. The point is that there had been longstanding diplomatic efforts to try to get Saddam Hussein to make good on his promises. We don't want to go to war. I mean, that should be obvious to everybody. But on the other hand, it is also absolutely important for the North Koreans to stop engaging in this kind of provocative behavior, not only for their good, but for the good of their people.

What you have now is something that you haven't had before, at least for this administration, which is the unity of people in the neighborhood, working as one to try to get the North Koreans to step down. This we see as a promising development.

In 2002, the President made the axis -- made his announcement in the State of the Union speech. That was also the year in which the United States disclosed that the North Koreans had, in fact, been lying about their nuclear program. They had concealed a covert nuclear development program. At that point the United States began working diplomatically with the allies, and in 2003 you've got the six-party talks. So what you see here is the pressure of events, but also the opportunity to get people to work together.

In the case of Iran, when the Iranians started talking a little more assertively about developing a nuclear program, the United States, again, went to work. You have not only the EU3, but you've got the Permanent -- the P5 plus one, you've got the IAEA -- you have an expanding group of nations that also share an interest. This is how diplomacy ought to work, and we certainly hope diplomacy is going to succeed in both cases. That, obviously, is going to be a major topic when leaders meet next week at the G8.

Q Okay, just one quick follow-up. When you hear from your allies on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who were in favor of the preemptive doctrine, and they are critical of the administration, they think the administration is not doing enough in terms of North Korea and Iran, essentially continuing the Clinton administration policy on North Korea, for instance -- what's your response? What do you tell them?

MR. SNOW: Well, this is not the Clinton administration policy. I understand what the Clinton administration wanted to do. They wanted to talk reason to the government of Pyongyang, and they engaged in bilateral conversations. And Bill Richardson went with flowers and chocolates, and he went with light-water nuclear reactors, and he went with promises of heavy oil, and a basketball signed by Michael Jordan, and many other inducements for the "Dear Leader" to try to agree not to develop nuclear weapons, and it failed. But there was, at least, a good-faith effort on the part of some very smart people to use that as an approach.

We've learned from that mistake. One reason not to go bilateral with the North Koreans is what we're seeing right now, which is that you need to have concerted pressure, especially from those who have very close and ongoing ties with the government of North Korea so that you can get results. So this is not a continuation of the Clinton program.

Furthermore, I would point out to those who are concerned about what is going on, on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, the United States and Japan -- there are eight parties right now, there are eight co-sponsors of this U.N. resolution. They haven't backed it off, they haven't taken it off the table. What they're trying to do is to allow the Chinese to go ahead and make it work so the resolution does not become necessary.

Q A couple of questions on Iraq. A weekend of violence again that's raised the specter of civil war there. Does the U.S. recognize this as a threat? And what, if anything, will they do, will the U.S. do to stop that trend?

MR. SNOW: Well, we went through this. This is a kind of a nice conventional wisdom story. But I'm -- we're still trying to figure out what the figures are over the weekend. There have been news stories that have gone from 11 to 50 in terms of the number of killings. It is obvious that there are people in Iraq who are trying to make the government fail, who do not want to see democracy succeed.

But I would also put you -- direct you to comments made today by Major General Thomas Turner who gave an interview, pointed out that in a number of other places in Iraq, especially in the north, where you had similar concerns not so long ago, suddenly people are more worried about economic development than security.

It is obvious that for many people, they believe that if you can disrupt Baghdad, you can kill democracy in Iraq. It is also obvious that it is U.S. policy and also the policy of Prime Minister Maliki that that is not going to happen; that they will bring the resources to bear to make sure that everything from roving gangs to insurgents who are determined to incite sectarian strife, that they do not succeed.

So it's a little difficult at any time to extrapolate from a single event. It is obvious, however, that there are some who are going to persist in committing acts of violence until they are stopped forcibly from doing so. And we support their forcibly being stopped so that, in fact, you can have civil society take root in Iraq, and that this government can succeed.

Q Also on Iraq.

MR. SNOW: Yes.

Q A follow-up on that.

MR. SNOW: Yes.

Q Iraq's human rights minister has said that Iraq will ask the United Nations to end the immunity from local law for U.S. troops, and this is, of course, is following the charges being brought against six former and current soldiers for the rape-murder.

MR. SNOW: Right, understood. That again is a bilateral -- that is a matter of bilateral agreement or an ongoing agreement within Iraq and, obviously, that is something that people are going to be visiting in days ahead. Let me just say -- and this is an important point -- you will note that already military officials here in the United States are trying to get evidence in the case, and they are going to render indictments where they think they are appropriate, and they will go ahead and try to convict, and they will let the courts do their work. It is obvious that this is not a government that looks the other way when members of the military commit crimes.

On the other hand, the President is not in a position to speak -- you've heard me mention many times about command influence -- so we cannot speak about particular cases. We also understand Prime Minister Maliki's concerns, and we want to make sure that he is fully informed, and also that he is satisfied, regardless of what the treaty situation may be on these issues, that justice truly is being done and that he can make that demonstration to his people, as well.

Q How would the U.S. respond to any effort to lift that immunity?

MR. SNOW: You're playing the hypothetical game. Not going to go there.

Sheryl.

Q Senator Lindsey Graham has said that the commissions at Guantanamo, as the President envisioned them, need to be reined in. Does the President believe that these commissions need to be reined in, or is he simply going to ask Congress to codify what he issued by executive order?

MR. SNOW: What's going on right now, Sheryl, as you know, is a lot of people are still trying to parse what the Hamdan decision meant and didn't mean. And Senator Graham is being particularly helpful in that regard, as are a number of his colleagues. What we've always said is that we want to proceed to try to find justice for those at Guantanamo in a manner consistent with the decision in the United States Supreme Court. And depending on how you may characterize the previous commission's proposals, we are studying carefully how to make it consistent with the Supreme Court, and Senator Graham is doing the same.

Q Can I just follow up on that? Is there a plan to move these detainees or do anything else with them, other than keep them in a holding pattern while Congress is deliberating?

MR. SNOW: Where would you move them?

Q I don't know; I don't know what your plan is.

MR. SNOW: Well, the one thing -- we are not going to move them into places on American soil and to the civil justice system. These are people who were picked up off a battlefield. And many of you have been down there. You see the extraordinary measures that are taken not only to deal with their physical needs, but also their spiritual needs. And this is a facility at which there is extreme care taken to try not only to bring them to justice, but also to treat them humanely. So, no, there are no plans at this point to move them into another facility except to the extent to which we are able to repatriate those who might, in fact, be tried and cared for elsewhere.

What we do not want is what amounts to a catch-and-release program for terrorists. It is time now to make sure that terrorists no longer have the opportunity to kill innocents, and at the same time, that we proceed in a manner that's consistent with our principles. The Supreme Court decision, now, has forced everybody to try to figure out exactly what the justices had in mind and how best to carry it forward.

Q Are they in a holding pattern, then, until Congress acts?

MR. SNOW: They are in a holding pattern to the extent that those who are not being repatriated are going to be staying there; you're absolutely right.

Q What does the administration plan to do to step up enforcement of sanctions against Cuba, the economic sanctions?

MR. SNOW: Well, what you're seeing right now is -- I'm not sure that there is any attempt to step up economic sanctions. Economic sanctions have been in place against Cuba since 1961.

Q -- to that end --

MR. SNOW: You know what, I know the report came out today, and I'll get you guidance later in the day, Mike. I've been focusing more on North Korea. But I'll get you a good answer on it.

Q Tony, what do you say to the thesis advanced on the cover of Time Magazine and by some of the President's critics, that the days of "cowboy diplomacy," the President's doctrine of preemption are dead; that he heads to the G8 summit Wednesday a weakened President, now pursuing diplomacy as the strategy of last resort?

MR. SNOW: Well, it appears to me that the people at Time Magazine have just awoken to things the President has been doing for years. Welcome, Time. The diplomatic activities I've been talking about long predated -- but apparently reporters at Time weren't asking about it -- but as a matter of fact, the United States has been working a diplomatic track on Iran. It's been working a diplomatic track on North Korea. And it worked diplomatic tracks on Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think there's a misconception that preemption means war. It doesn't. Preemption means stopping somebody before they can do you harm. There are diplomatic ways to do that, and that is always preferable to using major force. And so there is no change. The idea -- was the President a cowboy when he put together the six-party talks? Was he a cowboy when he helped -- when he was supporting quietly the efforts of the EU3? Has he been a cowboy in trying to assemble the largest international coalitions ever to go after misbehavior on the part of individual actors? The answer is that this is a President who has always seen diplomacy as the first and most important step to take in trying to prevent people from behaving badly.

Q Thank you, Tony. Turning to this hemisphere, Mexico's President-elect Felipe Calderon made a startling statement last week in which he attacked the border security measure passed by the House, saying that more troops on the border or an extended fence would not solve the problem of illegal immigration. And he also indicated that he stood as -- where outgoing President Vicente Fox did on illegal immigration in the United States.

MR. SNOW: Which would mean he's against it.

Q Which would mean he's against it, but in terms of having more people come over, was in favor of it.

MR. SNOW: Well, a couple of things to note. First, in the President's conversations with President Fox -- and I will not try to prejudge anything he may say to President Calderon because he hasn't been sworn in -- he said that the United States was going to do what was necessary to maintain its security, and that included enhanced border security. So --

Q This is the President talking to Fox?

MR. SNOW: This is the President talking to Fox, and I've reported this conversation to you before. We appreciate that politicians may have things to say in their homelands, but what this President has is an obligation, a constitutional obligation, to make sure that there is security at home. So he has pursued that by dispatching National Guard forces to assist those working in the Border Patrol. This has freed up at least nearly 200 Border Patrol agents already to spend more time literally walking the borders. We have also allocated $1.9 billion to a combination of methods -- fences, technological means, and forces -- to slow the tide of people coming into the United States. As you probably know, John, immigration into the United States across the Mexican border has actually been declining since the year 2000, and is down dramatically in the last few months, so it's working.

So the President not only believes in border security, but he's also made a point that if you want borders to be secure and you want to put an end to illegal immigration, you got to set up a temporary worker program. There are a lot who come, work, go back. As a matter of fact, by Michael Chertoff's reckoning it could be 40 percent to 50 percent of all those who cross the border go back. You set up an orderly temporary worker program, you not only reduce the pressure for illegal immigration, you make it much more easy to secure your borders in a regular, enforceable and predictable manner. And that's one of the things we want.

Q All right, then what do you think -- or what does the administration say about a foreign politician denouncing domestic legislation in the United States, and particularly Calderon's denunciation of stronger border security and an extended fence?

MR. SNOW: Last time I checked, Calderon did not have any official authority over the activities of the United States government.

Q Can I follow up on that?

MR. SNOW: Yes, very quickly. Sure.

Q The call the President made to Calderon to congratulate him, that means that the U.S. government already recognized him as the President-elect of Mexico? Can you explain what --

MR. SNOW: Well, I believe the electoral commission had, in fact, declared him President. And according to the laws of Mexico, at this point, he is President. Should there be a recount, should there be another adjustment, should there be a change, then the President will acknowledge that, as well -- Mexico, obviously having the ability to decide who, as a result of transparent elections, is the President of the country.*

Q Tony, many experts now see the prospects of sanctions against North Korea to be pretty dim, and the diplomatic way forward is to have North Korea sign on to yet another moratorium on firing missiles and agree to six-party talks again. Is the President confident that, after 12 years of thumbing its nose at other agreements, that North Korea can act in good faith now?

MR. SNOW: You're assuming way too much, Brett. What you're doing is, you're sort of throwing your arms around the conventional wisdom that says that the Chinese and the Russians don't want anything to happen. Don't accept that. At this point --

Q -- think sanctions are possible?

MR. SNOW: Well, let's put it this way: There is a resolution on the table at the United Nations in the Security Council. It has been reported that a pretty sizeable majority of the Security Council supports it. It is very clear that the Chinese take seriously the need for the North Koreans to get back to what they did -- what they promised on September 19th of last year. Furthermore, they now need to show something. Their word is not -- they not only have to commit to doing it, they have to take positive actions, especially in terms of taking down the nuclear program.

So you put all that together -- I am not willing to buy the premise that diplomacy is dead. Nor am I willing to buy the premise that the Chinese and the Russians are unwilling to go forward. I think it is -- for reasons that I pointed out earlier in my answer to Kelly, there are a very strong reasons for the Chinese to want to ensure that the North Koreans do not proceed with something that could, in fact, unleash a series of probably unwelcome consequences, not only on the Korean Peninsula, but throughout the region in terms of military responses by sovereign nations.

Q I don't think anyone is saying diplomacy is dead, but they say that diplomacy hinges on North Korea agreeing to do something again, after 12 years of agreeing to do something --

MR. SNOW: Well, yes, but let's first see what happens. Keep in mind, it's not 12 years. The agreement we're referring to was September 19th of last year, by which you --

Q I'm going back to '94.

MR. SNOW: And I'm glad you did, because in 1994, that's the time when the United States tried on a unilateral -- on a bilateral basis, sitting down with North Korea. Bill Richardson went there, did his best, and he thought he had a deal, and he didn't.

And this is a time when you have to make it verifiable, but also that neighbors have to have a stake in it. This is not one where the United States can or should go it alone. You have to have the people who have the most influence to bear on the North Koreans, assuming responsibility for ensuring that the North Koreans stop behaving the way they are, in an unacceptable manner.

And nobody disagrees about the fact that it's unacceptable; and nobody disagrees that the North Koreans need to dismantle the nuclear program; and nobody disagrees that they need to stop firing the missiles. What has happened -- words alone won't be -- will not be enough, Brett. You're absolutely right about that, so it's an important point to make.

Q Just on another topic, quickly, the 45-day cooling-off period regarding the files seized by the FBI from Representative Jefferson's office is now over. What happens now?

MR. SNOW: Well, those records -- a couple of things. Talks are still ongoing between the Department of Justice and the House of Representatives, and they seem to be making considerable progress. Meanwhile, the judge in the case has maintained the same sort of standards for custody of the documents. They're still under lock and key in the custody of the Solicitor General.

So as legal deliberations move forward, both sides also -- or as the court case moves forward, both sides also are engaged in active negotiations. So we'll all hear at about the same time what they do. But the fact is there has been no change in the status of the documents. And, furthermore, it does seem that both sides are working together, trying to produce an acceptable -- result that's acceptable to both.

Q I don't know if you saw Congressman Hoekstra's comments over the weekend, but is the administration doing enough to brief Congress about secret programs?

MR. SNOW: You know, what's interesting is, Congressman Hoekstra, in the same thing, said that he's satisfied with the briefing now. I think there was a case in which the Congressman was unhappy about not being briefed. We have made it our view that they should always be briefed when appropriate, and there was a case where he thought that they should have been informed. And so, again, I think what you see -- quite often there are conflicts between Capitol Hill and the White House, as you know, and we've been working with Congressman Hoekstra, and furthermore, again, reading deeper into his answers, he seems satisfied with the steps that subsequently have been taken.

Q Why did a whistle-blower have to finally alert them, and will he be tried for treason?

MR. SNOW: That's almost a Lester question. Speaking of which --

Q Thank you, thank you. I'm honored. Tony, you were mentioned by The New York Times' Frank Rich, in yesterday's article --

MR. SNOW: Was I really? Oh, I missed it.

Q Yes, indeed, by name. It was a headline, all the news that's fit to bully. He charged that you, Tony, are, "insulting, for your official White House line, 'the Journal was merely following The Times.'" I have two questions. Do you or the President take seriously this, "insulting charge," coming from this New York Times person?

MR. SNOW: Frank should speak to his editors, and then get back to us on the characterization.

Q Do you or the President take seriously Mr. Rich's contentions of a, "Get the press lynch mob," and, "lynch mobs' efforts to single out The Times," or do you recognize this as quite obviously desperate extremism trying to ward off an indictment?

MR. SNOW: I want you to read those again. That's so delicious, I want to hear it again.

Q We'll do it. We'll do it. Do you, or the President, take seriously Mr. Rich of The Times, contention of a --

MR. SNOW: No, not the whole thing, just --

Q -- or do you recognize this as quite obviously desperate extremism trying to ward off an indictment?

MR. SNOW: No, I see Frank Rich enjoying his first amendment options, which he does in a way that many of us consider quite enjoyable. (Laughter.)

Okay, let's see, Victoria.

Q I have two. This week, as you know, the House Armed Services Committee, Senate Judiciary and Senate Armed Services Committee are holding hearings on bringing the Gitmo suspects or detainees to trial as a result of the Supreme Court hearing last week. Is there anything that the administration or the President would want to say to them on the eve of the hearings as they go into deliberation?

MR. SNOW: I think this is -- no, in a word. We've obviously been in contact with members of the Senate, and these are important hearings. What the Supreme Court has said is that Congress needs to authorize a way forward when it comes to the proper dispensations of the cases of those at Guantanamo. And therefore, Congress has an important role to play and the Senate is stepping forward and holding hearings and mulling options. You know, all help is welcome. And I think what people of goodwill need to do, and that's what we're seeing on Capitol Hill, is to find a way, consistent with national security, to bring to justice people who were plucked from the battlefield, people who were not representatives of any duly constituted army, who do not represent any nation state, and who have vowed to kill innocents -- how do you bring those properly to justice?

In some cases, it means repatriating, and in some cases, it's going to mean finding a proper way acceptable to the Supreme Court to conduct trials. So we welcome those hearings, and obviously we're going to work with Congress as it moves forward.

I think -- Victoria, I think there's a lot of head-scratching going on. And people really are trying to figure out what is it -- what exactly does the Supreme Court opinion imply about the way in which we can proceed forward. And I expect the hearings to be quite constructive.

David. Oh sorry, go ahead.

Q In the wake of the alleged atrocity at Mahmoudiya and all the others that we've been hearing about, are we taking any extraordinary measures to win the hearts and minds of the people of Iraq and the rest of the Arab world? Because the Arab media is all over this --

MR. SNOW: The Arab media --

Q -- worse than we did before.

MR. SNOW: The Arab media are all over it. I think the thing you do, number one is, you bring to justice those who are guilty of breaking laws. And certainly this is not a government that condones rape, murder, or the abuse of human rights. The second thing you do is you stay the course. And you allow the government of Prime Minister Maliki to create a functioning and successful democracy. And over time, what happens is media stories that may be negative, slowly are not -- are not going to be able to turn the tide of developments that in the long run are going to provide prospects for peace, hope and prosperity for people who in the past have not had the kinds of blessings that we take for granted. That's how you do it.

Q So we're not putting people out there?

MR. SNOW: And so we're not what?

Q So we're not specifically putting people out there, getting people out to be interviewed?

MR. SNOW: Not that I'm aware of. That right now is more properly a Pentagon question and I'd direct it there. They may have some public diplomacy initiatives. I'm not aware of them right now. I know that, obviously, we've got General Caldwell out every day doing briefs.

David.

Q Okay, one more on Mexico and the timing of the call to Calderon. The President has had his own experience with disputed elections, and Vicente Fox is saying now that he won't meet with either candidate until things are worked out. Why not wait? I mean, why --

MR. SNOW: Because that was -- at least there was the perception that there had been an official determination that Mr. Calderon was the winner.

Q Is that still the perception?

MR. SNOW: I don't know. I don't know. We'll go back and fly-speck it for you, and I'll get you an answer.

Q Tony, there's been general condemnation, criticism of the Israeli moves into the Gaza Strip from most of the countries, except the United States. Why is the U.S. mum on --

MR. SNOW: The United States has always said the same thing. There has also been universal condemnation of the kidnaping of the Israeli soldier. And we have urged and continue to urge the Israeli government to proceed with moderation. But we have also been clear that the party that began this were those who kidnaped the soldier and those who also kidnaped a civilian and murdered him, and that that is unacceptable. And we are hoping that not only the soldier gets returned, but that we can find people of goodwill on both sides, that there can be a party on the Palestinian side to negotiate in good faith with the Israelis along the lines that we have always outlined, and we'll continue to.

Sarah.

Q Thank you. The Congress is trying to decide whether to order bilingual election ballots in as many as 31 states. In some of the states, as many as five languages are involved. What is the administration's position on having bilingual --

MR. SNOW: Sarah, what's going on, the President has said that he wants to see the Voting Rights Act renewed in its present form. In the present -- you already understand what's going on in the present form. There are bilingual ballots printed. There are a number of people in Congress who disagree, and they have -- there will be votes on those issues, and we'll see what happens in Congress.

I believe so far one has failed. But Congress does, in fact, have the opportunity to take a look at the legislation. We have an opportunity to look at what they have when they're done.

Goyal.

Q Tony, before my question, I just wanted to thank the President -- July 6th was a historic day in the East Room of the White House. And I think you will agree with me the President did have a warm welcome for the Canadian Prime Minister. And also, I'm thankful to my colleagues here in the White House in honoring Indian Americans from the U.S. and Indians in India -- the President really brought me to the global stage. And I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

The question is here that as for the U.S.-India civil nuclear agreement is concerned, the Congress is debating, and two committees of the House and the Senate already last week passed a resolution. And -- speaking to Indian-American groups here in the -- region. And also, this morning, Heritage Foundation -- think tank, they also agree and supported the agreement. Do you think President is going to meet with the Prime Minister of India at the G8 in Moscow? And is he going to discuss --

MR. SNOW: I don't -- Goyal, I don't know. As you know, there's considerable speculation about bilateral meetings. You mean in St. Petersburg.

Q I'm sorry, yes.

MR. SNOW: And, frankly, I'm not -- we know, obviously, the bilateral meeting with President Putin. I'm not going to confirm or deny any others.

Q Just to follow that, do you think just missile tests by India is going affect at all on the Capitol Hill, or --

MR. SNOW: I don't think so. I don't think so. Again, the auspices under which is was conducted, making sure that everybody was notified in advance, are the sort of things that provide reassurance to people on the Hill.

Q The U.S. was notified in advance.

MR. SNOW: Yes, it was. The U.S. was notified in advance.

END 1:17 P.M. EDT

HARRY NOT GOING TO IRAQ

British royal Prince Harry will not be deployed to Iraq because of specific threats to his life, the country's top general said on Wednesday.

The changing situation on the ground exposed the prince to too much danger, Army Chief of Staff General Sir Richard Dannatt said.

"There have been a number of specific threats, some reported, some not reported, that relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual," Dannatt said. "These threats exposed him and those around him to a degree of risk I considered unacceptable."

Harry's office said that while he was very disappointed about the decision, he would not quit the army.

A statement from Clarence House said Harry fully understood General Dannatt's "difficult decision" and that his thoughts were with the rest of the battle group in Iraq.

The Defence Ministry had long said the decision would be kept under review amid concerns for the security of Harry, a second lieutenant, and other soldiers serving with him.

On the streets of London on Wednesday, residents had mixed views about Prince Harry's future.

"It's a bit of a shame, but I think it is sensible that he doesn't go," one man told AP Television.

Another man disagreed: "The guy seems to have his own mind, seems to want to do it, and I think they should let him do it."

The 22-year-old prince is a tank commander trained to lead a 12-man team in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles.

Harry would have been the first member of the British royal family to serve in a war zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew as a helicopter pilot in the Falklands conflict with Argentina in 1982.

There have been reported threats by Iraqi insurgents to kill or kidnap the prince, including claims his photograph had been widely circulated among militants.

The younger son of the late Princess Diana, Harry has been a frequent face on the front of Britain's tabloid newspapers, which have covered incidents of his partying at glitzy London nightclubs.

Sixty years after the end of Europe's most devastating war, crowds joined street parties and attended commemoration services across the United Kingdom on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany.

In London, World War II veterans and serving cavalrymen marched through Hyde Park.

Roland Davies-Hill, a veteran of the Welsh Regiment, said he didn't think young people realised what World War II was about and how people had suffered.

Earlier, veterans and hundreds of other spectators watched Prince Charles place a wreath of poppies at the Cenotaph memorial in honour of the 260,000 Britons who died fighting Nazi Germany and her allies - mainly Japan and Italy.

Queen Elizabeth II will lead national ceremonies on July 10, Britain's main day of commemoration.

In the central England city of Birmingham, people brought picnics to a street party, evoking memories of the massive street celebrations that broke out across Britain on May 8, 1945, the day the Berlin armistice was signed.

The Nazi capitulation was signed the day before in Reims, France, a week after Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker.

World War II raged on in the Pacific until Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945.

In this case, Harry's ancestors who have served, some of them have been killed, and that underlines I think the commitment of the royal family to public service, which is another really important reason why he should be allowed to go. If he was denied it, I think the royal family as an institution would become more of a laughing stock around the world, protecting their own ranks, and that wouldn't look good."

STORYLINE:

British Prince Harry's wish to serve as an ordinary soldier in Iraq has left military chiefs with an extraordinary predicament.

Britain's tabloid Sun newspaper reported on Thursday that army senior figures were reconsidering their decision to allow the prince to serve on the frontline in Iraq, for fear his presence could endanger other soldiers.

Harry's regiment, the Blues and Royals, is due to begin a six-month tour of duty in Iraq within weeks.

A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said it was still the Ministry of Defence's intent that Prince Harry would deploy as a troop leader, and would say only that deployments are kept under constant review.

Over the weekend, newspapers reported threats by Iraqi insurgents to kill or kidnap the prince, including claims his photograph had been widely circulated among militants.

Military chiefs accept that the third in line to the British throne would be an attractive target for insurgents and that his presence could lead to an upsurge in attacks on British forces.

The government announced in February that it would begin withdrawing 1,600 of the 7,000 British troops in Iraq this summer as it hands over control of southern Iraq to local forces.

But the past few weeks have seen an upsurge in violence, with 11 British soldiers killed in Iraq this month.

In all, 145 British troops have died there since the 2003 invasion.

Harry, a second lieutenant, is a tank commander trained to lead a 12-man team in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles.

If deployed, he would become the first royal to serve in a war zone since his uncle Prince Andrew flew as a helicopter pilot in the Falklands war against Argentina in 1982.

Despite its hopes of treating Harry as an ordinary soldier, the Defence Ministry has said the prince could be kept out of situations where his presence could jeopardise his comrades.

The Sun newspaper quoted unnamed senior military officials as saying that the review was likely to lead to Harry being banned from the battlefield, although he could still do a desk job.

The younger son of the late Princess Diana, Harry has been a frequent face in Britain's tabloid newspapers, which have provided a constant stream of coverage of his party-going lifestyle at glitzy London nightclubs.

But he has said he is serious about an army career.

After graduating from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst last year, Harry insisted on getting the opportunity to serve his country.

STORYLINE:

Lawmakers and Muslim groups criticised Prince Harry on Sunday after a British tabloid newspaper published video footage of him using offensive and racist language.

Harry, third in line to the British throne and an army lieutenant, issued an apology on Saturday after the News of The World reported that he had used offensive terms to refer to people from Pakistan and people of Arab descent.

In the video Harry is heard to refer to one colleague as "our little paki friend" - a derogatory term for people of Pakistani origin.

In a second video clip, Harry is heard to call another cadet - who was wearing a headscarf - a "raghead."

British Labour Party lawmaker Khalid Mahmood told Sky News that the comments were "not acceptable" and that any other person might have been disciplined for such remarks.

Harry is purported to have made the remarks in 2006 during a visit to Cyprus to carry out training exercises with fellow military cadets.

The newspaper said that the video was filmed by other cadets and supplied to the newspaper.

St. James's Palace - the office of Harry and his elder brother Prince William - said on Saturday that Harry was sorry for any offence caused by his use of the word "paki."

A spokesman said that Harry had used the other offensive term to refer to either the Taliban or Iraqi insurgents.

Dickie Arbiter, a royal commentator urged people to listen to the words in context with the video, saying the incident has only been given such prominence because Harry is a member of the Royal family.

Britain's defence ministry said it does not tolerate inappropriate behaviour, but said no complaint had been raised against Harry over his comments.

Harry served with the British Army in Afghanistan for 10 weeks last year, but was withdrawn from the combat zone after his previously secret deployment became public.

Harry has previously acknowledged drinking underage and smoking marijuana.

In January 2005, he apologised after being pictured in a newspaper at a costume party dressed as a Nazi, complete with a swastika armband.

FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH APPEARS ON CNN'S LARRY KING LIVE.

LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, from the White House, the first lady of the United States, Laura Bush, for the hour, next on LARRY KING LIVE.

We are here right inside the front entrance of the White House on this beautiful, lovely crisp December night, and we welcome to LARRY KING LIVE Laura Bush.

Where exactly are we?

LAURA BUSH, FIRST LADY: Well, we're in the Cross Hall. This is the Blue Room right here to our right...

KING: A tree behind us.

BUSH: ... and the Green Room and the Red Room. And this is the grand foyer. This is where we come down the stairs for a state dinner and with the other head of states, the visiting heads of state.

And it's really a beautiful place. It's perfect for decorating for the holidays because of the red rug and the red drapes that are already here. So it's been really fun to decorate it and get ready.

KING: We're going to make a whole tour of that later on in the program, so stay tuned with us, and we'll show you all the highlights of this beautiful house.

Is it hard for you in troubled times, following a war? Does that diminish this any?

BUSH: No, not really. I mean, it's really -- every holiday season is always slightly bittersweet for everyone because of people that aren't with them over the holidays. And certainly this holiday, when we have so many American military men and women deployed, it's a bittersweet holiday for the families who are here separated from their loved ones. But there is always something really joyous about the holiday season, and certainly having the opportunity to decorate this beautiful house is always fun.

It's fun to show it off, have friends come, all the tours that get to see it. You know, it's really a very happy time of year here.

KING: Is it a social world for you?

BUSH: It's a social world. We have -- last night were the Kennedy Center honors. And we have the reception here before we go to the Kennedy Center for those honors. We have parties coming up every night this week.

All of the staff, the White House staff, the Secret Service, all have opportunities to have parties here during the holiday season. So we invite our friends and then a lot of people that we work with. It's very fun.

KING: And I noticed your in-laws were here, right?

BUSH: That's right. They were here because he made a tribute last night, President Bush, number 41, as we call him, to Loretta Lynn. So it was really nice having them stay with us.

KING: Do you deal painfully with the daily reports out of Iraq?

BUSH: Sure, absolutely.

KING: How do they affect you?

BUSH: I mean, that's a very painful part of this job. It's a painful time for our country when we lose people.

KING: Do you take it personally a little?

BUSH: No, not -- I wouldn't know if I would say it personally, but it is -- you know, it's wrenching. There's no doubt about it. Wrenching for us, but wrenching for everyone, for all Americans when they read about it.

It's really a difficult time, but it's also a very, very challenging time for our country. And Americans are strong. And I see it.

I see it everywhere I go. I see it when I visit military bases, when I visit Walter Reed or Bethesda Naval Hospital with the president.

One of the most moving times we had this year was when we visited the hospital and there were two soldiers who had been wounded in Iraq. Neither one were American citizens. And we were there while they were sworn in to become American citizens. And, you know, a tear came to our eyes for sure. It was really a special time.

KING: All right. Let's go back to that extraordinary surprise to Baghdad. When did Laura Bush know?

BUSH: Well, I knew about...

KING: I've never seen your whole story line.

BUSH: I knew fairly early, maybe at least six weeks out when they first started talking about. I knew that of course it was a big secret. I didn't mention it to anyone, and we didn't mention it to each other that often. You know, maybe once a week he would say, well, it looks like it's still on.

And then finally, on that Wednesday right before Thanksgiving, we knew that it was definitely on. And so I was there on the front porch to give George a hug when he and Condi got in the unmarked van to drive to the airport. He had just told the girls who were there for the holidays.

KING: That's when they learned?

BUSH: That's when they learned.

KING: When did your in-laws learn?

BUSH: They didn't learn until they got to the ranch the next morning for Thanksgiving dinner. And that's when they found out.

KING: Was this the best kept secret ever?

BUSH: I think it was really one of the best kept secrets ever.

KING: You'd have to go back to the A-bomb.

BUSH: It had to be a really good secret, because the security was so tight and because the president didn't want to jeopardize the lives of anyone to be able to do this.

KING: Did you have concerns?

BUSH: I was very concerned at first. By that Wednesday night, I knew they probably wouldn't go unless, you know, unless they really thought it was 99 percent safe. So I was not that concerned once they were really -- once they had left. And then when they landed, I got a call. I knew they had landed. And then they were wheeled up, I got a call and knew they were on their way home.

KING: How do you think he did it?

BUSH: How did he do it?

KING: I know. How did he pull this whole thing off? I mean, it was a great surprise.

BUSH: Well, I think just because so few people knew, and that was the way they could pull it off. It was just the generals who were on the ground there, and Bremer that knew there. Very few Secret Service even knew.

In fact, Dr. Rice usually stays in what we call the Governor's House, which was the little farmhouse that was on our property when we brought it that we lived in while we built our other house. And her agent stayed outside her house all that night while she was flying to Baghdad.

KING: What about the president's physician?

BUSH: Well, I'm sure they knew. I'm sure there was a doctor that was along.

KING: Yes. Because you have to be covered for that. BUSH: That's right.

KING: Are you going to go to Afghanistan?

BUSH: I hope so. I really hope I'll have the chance to go there. President Karzai has actually invited me when I ran into him in New York at the U.N. General Assembly. I'm hoping that by this time next year we'll have an American school in Kabul up in running, and a teachers' institute.

I'm working with a lot of people, including Karen Hughes, to make sure women who live in the more remote parts of Afghanistan can have a safe dorm to stay in when they come in to Kabul to be trained to teach, and then can go back to their villages. We want to be able to work within the traditional structure of Afghanistan. A lot of fathers and husbands don't want their wives to travel to Kabul unless they can live in a women's dorm in a safe way.

KING: So it looks like you're going.

BUSH: So I hope I'll have the chance to go. It's not scheduled. I don't have it on my schedule yet, but I'd love to have that chance.

KING: If you want to go, you go. What would change it?

BUSH: Well, I guess we just have to make the plans. The plans haven't really been made yet.

KING: It still looks pretty good?

BUSH: It looks pretty good.

KING: Are you going to be involved in this campaign?

BUSH: Sure.

KING: I mean, I know how much -- you worked hard for your father-in-law when he ran. You worked hard the last time. Do you like it?

BUSH: I do like it. I like seeing people. You know, politics is really just a people business, for people -- all politicians like people, they like to be with them. That's why they run for office.

And it gives me the chance -- I've already done a number of fund- raisers for my husband around the country. It gives me the chance to see friends, people who I've known from other campaigns and certainly from my husband's last campaign. To meet new friends who are new, new supporters of my husband.

KING: So you don't mind the, "here we go again?"

BUSH: Not at all. I mean, of course, no one likes the slings, the darts and arrows, or whatever they call it that come during a campaign. But also, by this point, believe me, we're used to it.

KING: When you see a "Time" magazine headline like a couple of weeks ago, "Love Him, Hate Him: Country Divided?" What does it do...

BUSH: Well, you know, of course, most of the people I see are the ones who say they...

KING: Love him?

BUSH: Yes. They want him to stay the course in Afghanistan, they realize what the stakes are for our country and how important it is for all of us to come together and really make sure we stay secure. But also, that's my husband's main responsibility as president. And I'm really proud of him.

I'm very proud of the job that he's done. And I'm proud of how steady he is.

KING: We're talking with Laura Bush. We're at the White House to kick off the Christmas season. We'll be back with the first lady of the United States.

Oprah Winfrey is with us tomorrow night, President Carter on Wednesday. It's not equal time; it just worked out that way. Tom Brokaw on Thursday. And Friday night, the former first lady, Betty Ford. Quite a week.

Right back at the White House with Laura Bush after this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I was just looking for a warm meal somewhere. Thanks for inviting me to dinner.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: One of the favorite (UNINTELLIGIBLE) at the White House, and that is when we accept a tree from the Christmas tree grower who's been chosen this year to donate the tree to the White House. And it's the Chapman (ph) family from Wisconsin. This tree was actually grown on their farm, and we're so thrilled. We thank you very, very much. Thanks all of you.

(CROSSTALK)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: We're back at the White House. Don't forget, later in the program, the first lady and I will tour this most famous building in the world.

Speaking of famous buildings, what was it like to stay at Buckingham Palace?

BUSH: It was really fabulous. Unbelievable. I mean, it's like a fairy tale for Americans to have the chance to even tour Buckingham Palace, much less stay there.

It was beautiful. And, of course, her majesty, the queen, and Prince Philip, were very gracious and generous and nice to us when we stayed there. But it was really lovely. I had a lot of tours of the palace itself, saw the great picture gallery with the fabulous art that's there.

KING: Was that diamond and pearl necklace Barbara Bush's?

BUSH: That was Barbara Bush's. When she came to visit recently, I said, "We're going to Buckingham Palace, and do you have any big jewelry?" And she said, "Yes, I happen to have some big jewelry." So that was great to be able to borrow it from her.

KING: What do you make of our fascination with royals?

BUSH: I don't know. I think it is very interesting that Americans are so fascinated because, of course, we came over here, our forefathers and mothers, to get away from that. But I think it's a fairy tale quality, it's an interesting story quality that all Americans like to hear about.

KING: Do you like Prince Charles?

BUSH: I do like Prince Charles. I had him for a dinner partner one night. And I enjoyed sitting with him a lot.

KING: What was the trip like to Russia?

BUSH: The trip to Russia was terrific. Madame Putin and I had a book festival. And she had actually come here to the National Book Festival last year, and then had a book festival herself.

She invited librarians from around Russia. And it was really very interesting to be there with them during that time, and to see all these librarians who were so excited to get to be there and hear all these readers.

I took three American writers with me, three really best-selling writers. One of them, RL Stine, has the "Goosebumps" books, and he's very popular with children. And he did a reading. And even with having to use an interpreter, of course, which he did, it was great.

His grandparents had emigrated from Russia early in the last century. And so it was really wonderful to be able to bring him as one of our writers.

KING: We've had Mr. Putin on this show. He's quite a guy. What's his wife like?

BUSH: Lyudmila, I like her very much. I really like her a lot.

KING: They're very Western. I mean, they're very...

BUSH: Well, we hope so. I mean, that's what we hope, is that they'll... KING: No, they seem very at home.

BUSH: ... be that way. But they are. We've been with them a lot at our ranch and at their dacha outside of Moscow. And so we've had to have -- we've gotten to have a personal relationship with them, a friendship with them, which I think helps.

KING: And your husband hit it off with him almost immediately, didn't he?

BUSH: He did. He really does. He likes him a lot. And it's because we have a friendship and a personal relationship, it gives us the opportunity, certainly the president the opportunity, to say things to him in the spirit of friendship that maybe you couldn't say if we were still so adversarial.

KING: OK. What was the meeting like with Chirac? Was that difficult? I mean, owing to France's disagreements with us over Iraq and...

BUSH: No, I would not say it was, you know, at all difficult. I mean, he, of course, is very charming, like the French are. And it was nice of him, very nice of him, I think, to ask me there.

KING: Did you mind the kiss on the hand?

BUSH: No, not in the least.

KING: Were you surprised at all the attention it got?

BUSH: I was a little surprised at how the picture went around the world on the front page of papers, but...

KING: What were you supposed to do, not accept?

BUSH: It was fun. It was really interesting to be there. And the reason we were there, the reason I was there in Paris, is because the United States has rejoined UNESCO after an absence of about 19 years. And I was really glad to be able to represent the United States when we joined UNESCO.

UNESCO works on a lot of projects on literacy worldwide. And I'm really glad to be a part of that.

KING: What did you make of the resentment over the United States in parts of the world over Iraq?

BUSH: Well, I don't know that I would call it resentment, but -- that they felt. I think there was a sincere anti-war strain to it. But I also think if they had stood with us against Saddam Hussein and stood behind the resolution that they had all voted for, that maybe we wouldn't have had to go to war. So I wish they would have.

KING: Do you think it might have been avoided?

BUSH: Well, I hope so. I mean, I wish they had stood with us. You know, who knows what would have happened.

KING: What do you make of his still being around?

BUSH: Well, I don't know about that. I mean, I have no idea. I don't know anything that anyone else doesn't know from reading the newspaper.

KING: Are you surprised that there was reaction in Iraq, that it didn't go as smoothly as people thought it might?

BUSH: Well, no, not in the least. I mean, I don't know why we should be surprised. It's very, very difficult to build a democracy, you know?

I mean, we know that. We should know it from our own history. We've had 200 years to build our democracy. And we started off very fortuitously with people like Jefferson and Adams and Madison, and people who were really brilliant writers and could really build a wonderful Constitution.

So no one said it would be easy. I don't think any of us should have expected that it would be easy. Of course it's difficult.

One of the people who I admire very much that I've had the opportunity to meet since my husband has been president is Vaclav Havel, who was a freedom fighter in Czechoslovakia.

KING: Sure was.

BUSH: And then ended up being president of the Czech Republic. And he said to me when I visited Prague last year, he said, "You know, democracy is hard." We don't think of it that way, because we had all these generations before us that helped us build our democracy.

But he said, "It's hard. It requires the participation of everyone." And sometimes it's easier to be under a tyrant and just have the tyrant tell everyone what to do and the government to do everything. And maybe they don't do it very well, but it doesn't require the hard work and the participation of citizens that democracy does.

KING: Mandela.

BUSH: That's right.

KING: Amazing stories, aren't they?

BUSH: They're unbelievable stories. And when we look at these countries, Russia, the Czech Republic, all of these countries, they're just new democracies. They've just been building their democracies for 12 years.

KING: I remember the first time we met in Texas when you were on with your husband and you were just running for office...

BUSH: Yes. KING: ... then and starting. And then many times we've been here. What about this job has in the last three -- what surprised you? I mean you had a mother-in-law...

BUSH: That's right.

KING: ... who was here. Your father-in-law...

BUSH: I had a huge advantage, because I really did know a lot, and watched her, of course. I learned so much from Barbara Bush.

I knew what it was like to live here. I knew the house, and I knew the staff, really, because the White House staff is permanent. They're not political, the people who work here. And so I had met them over the years when I visited them.

But I think you're still always surprised by the magnitude of it, by the whole -- and maybe this has surprised me the most, and that is how important the United States of America is to the world right now. And that's just a fact of life in our country. Every country comes to us and wants us to help them in some way or another, or help solve a problem. And because they come and want help and ask us for help, they also blame us for a lot of things that really aren't our fault.

Not in every case, certainly. But that -- the huge role of the U.S. in the world, maybe it's not such a surprise to me, but it's certainly been reinforced, that idea.

KING: Betty Ford is here on Friday. We've had many first ladies on. What's the role of the first lady, as you see it?

BUSH: Well, I think the role of the first lady is really whatever the first lady wants to do. There's nothing written in the Constitution, there's no real...

KING: No pay.

BUSH: ... a legal role for the first lady. But when we look back, and certainly when you look at the life of Betty Ford and how she's helped people, first just by living her life, by letting people know what it was like to have breast cancer and by being very public about a disease that before that had really been taboo to even mention -- and how that helped us, by her strength of character.

And then, of course, the Betty Ford Centers and her bout with alcoholism. And once again, just by being so up front and having so much strength to let Americans know.

KING: So your advice would be, do what you want to do.

BUSH: That's right, to do what you want to do. And that's how we've been served, by all of our first ladies letting us know and inspiring us by their very passions. Lady Bird Johnson's love of the outdoors.

KING: We'll be back with more of Laura Bush, Christmas at the White House. Don't go away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

G. W. BUSH: Laura and I would like to ask Maggie (ph) and Andre (ph) to come up and turn on the lights, but I ask you all to join us in the national countdown, starting with five, four, two, three, two, one.

(CHEERS)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: ... used oil paints, and I really wanted watercolor, but as you can see, Barbara's watercolor is quite vivid. And I thought it was really perfect for this setting and the diplomatic reception room. I like this the way she did it, with the coziness of the two chairs that are here. I think that shows friendship. It also shows a great place to pull up a chair, to read, and then of course it's the very famous spot that Franklin Roosevelt gave his fireside chats.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: We're back with Laura Bush at the White House. In some ways, this coming campaign could be, win or lose, I guess, your last.

BUSH: That's right. That's right. It will be. It's sort of sad in that sense, although I guess I'm pretty happy in that sense too.

KING: If some day, let's say reelected or whatever, he was offered the commissionership of baseball? And would you say, take it?

BUSH: Sure, absolutely. I think that would be great.

KING: Because I think secretly it's a job anyone would want who's a baseball freak as he is.

BUSH: We had a really great time when he owned the Texas Ranchers. That was a lot of fun. Baseball is a great family business.

KING: It sure is.

BUSH: And it was fun to take those little girls, who were little then, to 60 baseball games a year.

KING: So if he wanted a job...

BUSH: But politics is also a family business.

KING: So if he wanted that job, and it were offered, you'd say take it? BUSH: Sure. Absolutely.

KING: And you'd go to games? Because no one sits in front of the commissioner.

BUSH: You get to be on the front row every time.

KING: How are Jenna and Barbara doing?

BUSH: They're doing great.

KING: They're both seniors now, huh?

BUSH: That's right. They're seniors. They're doing very well in school. They're good girls.

KING: What are their majors?

BUSH: Jenna is majoring in English, and Barbara is majoring in humanities.

KING: And they hope to do?

BUSH: Well, they don't know. They're thinking about what they'll do next year. They're both interested in teaching, which makes me proud, because I think that's a really good thing to do. And they're both considering graduate school, but that would be later. I think they want to work for a while first.

KING: Any boyfriends yet?

BUSH: No serious boyfriends. No marriage, in other words. No White House wedding coming up anytime soon.

KING: Do you want that soon, or...

BUSH: Sure. I want a lot of grandkids soon. But I think I'll wait until they find somebody they really love.

KING: We know about your reading of books. Are you going to write one?

BUSH: I don't really have plans to write one, but I hope I write one someday. I'm so proud that my mother-in-law can write those books.

KING: What did you think of her -- we had her on.

BUSH: I thought she was great.

KING: You said you watched it.

BUSH: I watched it, I did. I got a copy of it, because we were in Asia on that trip when she was on. But I love to watch Barbara Bush and to be with her. She's so natural and funny and fun to be with and very entertaining. People think of her as sort of grandmotherly, but actually she's who you want to sit by at a dinner party. She'll keep you entertained.

KING: Were you a reader a lot as a kid?

BUSH: Yes. I always read. My mother read to me. And I loved reading so much so that I made it my career as a librarian.

KING: Are we kind of fighting a Quijote war in an age of television, when they have all this -- 500 channels exposed to them, and you're telling them go read a book?

BUSH: In a little bit. In some ways, I think. There's supposedly what's called a-literacy, people who are literate, who can read, but who don't read, and who just watch television or do other things like that.

Reading has been such a huge part of my life and really such an important part of my life, that I can't imagine a life spent without reading. And that's what I want for everyone. I certainly want that for all children, and that is to spend a life filled with reading and books. And if you do that, then your life is filled with ideas and interests, and it's something you can have forever. And it's also a great way just to be a lifelong learner, to learn your whole life about things that maybe you didn't think you were that interested in when you were young.

KING: Did you read Hillary Clinton's book?

BUSH: No, I didn't read her books, but I read some excerpts of her book. But I'm reading Barbara Bush's book right now.

KING: What do you think of Hillary Clinton, Senator Clinton? Does she -- a lot of people in the Senate, Republicans alike, admire her as a senator.

BUSH: I admire her as a senator. I think she's doing a very good job for her -- I know she works hard.

KING: Do you -- how do you look at the opposition? You know, there's nine running, you know that's going to be weeded down. There will be one eventually. Do you look at them, do you read about them?

BUSH: Yes, sure, I read the newspaper articles about them. Not every one, probably, but some of them. And you know, we're right now -- at this stage, we're wondering who the candidate will be. And the campaign will take on a very different aspect when there is a single candidate on the other side. And that's when the campaign will really start for us, I think.

But now it's interesting. The process is interesting. It's interesting to read about all of them.

KING: What do you make of Governor Dean?

(CROSSTALK)

BUSH: Well, I know Governor Dean, of course. I mean, he was the governor at the same time my husband was, and we knew each other in...

KING: Governors' conferences?

BUSH: The National Governors Association.

KING: Like him?

BUSH: Sure. I mean, I enjoyed being with him then. I will have to say there's another person who I think will make the best president, and that's the one who's president right now.

KING: Are you surprised at how well Dean has done, though?

BUSH: Well, not really. I mean, it's interesting. The whole political process is very interesting.

I remember when we were the ones who were in New Hampshire all the time and in Iowa all the time. And actually, when you are running for office, and when you're elected to this office, you have a great fondness for the people in New Hampshire and Iowa. You know those states better than almost any of the others, because that's where you spent so much of the time before the caucus and the primary.

KING: And we will not forget the South Carolina debate, which I moderated.

BUSH: Absolutely. Absolutely. And South Carolina. We have a very special spot for South Carolina.

KING: What a night that was, that debate. It changed that election that night, but it was --- did you like primaries, though?

BUSH: Sure. I guess so. I mean, they were interesting to do, and those debates were interesting.

When Mr. Bush, president, number 41 debated, I could barely stand to watch on television because I was so nervous. And then, of course, when my husband ran, I had to sit on the front row. But he did a great job. And it's, you know, those are all really -- they're -- like you say, they're times that you remember -- you know, that I'll remember for my whole life.

KING: Yes. Is the distasteful part, is that tough to handle? Or, I mean...

(CROSSTALK)

BUSH: What is tough to handle...

KING: ... gets rough on both sides?

BUSH: It's tough to handle, but it's also, at this point, in our lives, so -- I guess you never really get used to it. But it's so much a part of American political life and American politics. And after being as involved in as many races as we have been, I guess you just get used to it.

KING: We'll take a break, come back with our remaining moments with Laura Bush. We'll get our plans for the holidays so we know what they're doing. Unless there's a surprise coming again.

Don't go away.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: Our centerpiece in this room is the fabulous chocolate factory from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and (UNINTELLIGIBLE) pastry chief put this chocolate factory together, and as you can tell, the chocolate is pouring now on top of the cake. So I think it's really pretty fabulous.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: We're back with our remaining moments in the discussion period with Laura Bush. There will be two segments where we tour the house at Christmastime. We're at the White House on this Monday evening.

The National Book Festival.

BUSH: That's right. This was our third National Book Festival. It was a beautiful weekend, and 70,000 people came on to the Mall here, the Washington Mall to hear their favorite writers read from their books or talk about their books. It was really a huge success. And I'm proud of it.

The Texas Book Festival was in its eighth year this year, and I started that one when George was governor of Texas. I love the idea of our National Mall being turned over for the weekend to art and to authors and to literature and to writers.

KING: You love of the feel of the book, don't you? Book.

BUSH: I do. I love the feel and the look and the smell.

KING: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) library.

BUSH: The whole way books are. And I think that's one reason we'll always have books, even though people do a lot of their reading now, of course, on a computer screen. But there's something so great about actually holding a book.

KING: What's the Foundation for American Libraries?

BUSH: It's a foundation that I started that gives money to school libraries. And we made our first round of grants last spring. We gave money to 132 school libraries across the nation. And over 6,000 libraries applied for the grants, which shows how desperate school libraries are.

So I want to urge all your viewers to pay attention to their closest school library. Especially their closest public school library, and figure out ways you can get great new books into the hands of children with your school libraries.

KING: Now you're also into the heart area...

BUSH: The Heart Truth Campaign.

KING: We have the Larry King Cardiac Foundation.

BUSH: I know you do. That's great.

KING: It helps people get heart services. My wife has even recorded a song that benefits will go to it. She's going to sing it Friday night on this show.

BUSH: Great.

KING: And tell me about Heart Truth.

BUSH: Well, I found out -- I didn't know this. I didn't realize that heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. And I think most women really think about breast cancer or other cancers like that, and they're not so aware that heart disease is the number one killer of women. And, in fact, a lot of times the symptoms of a heart attack are a little bit different in women than men.

KING: Oh, really?

BUSH: And on average, women go to the hospital about an hour later than men do when men or women have a heart attack.

KING: I didn't know that.

BUSH: And so they suffer more damage, because they don't get there right away. So I'm urging women to pay attention to their bodies, to prevent heart disease in all the ways you know you can prevent it, by not smoking, by losing weight, staying at a good weight, not becoming obese, by eating healthy, a heart-healthy diet, and by getting good exercise. All of those things are really important for everyone.

KING: We are an obese country.

BUSH: That's right. And children who are obese are going to have heart problems later. So it's really important for everyone, for parents and teachers and schools and vouchers (ph) to urge American parents to make sure their children get a healthy diet and that they get exercise.

KING: Let's run down the Bush Christmas. You stay here through?

BUSH: We'll stay here through the 22nd. The night of the 22nd is our Hanukkah party at the White House, where we light the Menorah. KING: My people!

BUSH: And this is a party we've had for three years. And our Jewish friends from around the country come in for the Hanukkah party.

And then we'll go to Camp David with my mother and our girls, of course, and the Bushes, and George's brother and his family, and his sister and her family. And then the day after Christmas we'll go to the ranch. So we'll get to spend New Year's there.

KING: Is Jeb coming up?

BUSH: Jeb won't be coming up. He'll be staying in his state for Christmas.

KING: And you stay in Crawford how long?

BUSH: We'll get to stay through New Year's. I'm really looking forward to that. And no surprises.

KING: No?

BUSH: Not this Christmas.

KING: New Year's Eve, what do you do?

BUSH: New Year's Eve we usually have friends come. A lot of our good Texas friends come, and we have a New Year's dinner, a New Year's Eve dinner. We usually don't stay up until midnight.

KING: No?

BUSH: We've just gotten to be too old now.

KING: No.

BUSH: But we do get up for -- and we've done this really since the millennium, New Year's 2000, we get up and go for a sunrise walk. And that's a special way to start the new year for both of us, to be able to go on that sunrise walk together.

KING: We know how much he lives the ranch. Do you?

BUSH: I love the ranch. I love being there...

KING: Because you're a big city girl.

BUSH: I'm a big city girl. Well, Midland, Texas isn't that big of a city. But Dallas and Houston and the other places...

KING: Close to it.

BUSH: ... I've lived. But I love being out there. We've re- seeded the Navy (ph) prairie grasses all around our house. And wildflowers, we had a spectacular wildflower show last spring. And this summer we heard (UNINTELLIGIBLE) quails back on our property. We hadn't had quail there in I don't know how many years. But I think they were attracted because of the Navy (ph) grass that we planted.

KING: A few other things. The extraordinary health of your father-in-law.

BUSH: He's in great shape.

KING: He's 80.

BUSH: Eighty, and he's planning his, you know...

KING: I'm going to jump...

BUSH: ... jump out of the plane.

KING: He's forced me to jump that day.

BUSH: Well, good luck, Larry.

KING: How does he do these -- how does -- he's...

BUSH: He's just in great shape.

KING: He looks extraordinary.

BUSH: He's a great guy. He's always exercised, of course, his whole life. And he's a lot of fun to be with and a really wonderful grandfather to our children.

KING: Will you live in Crawford when all this is over?

BUSH: I think we'll probably live in Crawford and probably Dallas, too.

KING: Do you think you will, whether it's sooner or later -- certainly you know definitely if it's later, you're going to have four more years -- you think you'll miss this?

BUSH: Sure, of course. I'm sure everyone's that had the opportunity to live here misses it when they leave. In fact, I remember once reading a quote of Linda Johnson Braabs (ph), who said she looked back on it when she got to live here as a beautiful dream. And so that's how it happens. It's a beautiful place.

KING: Not a bad place. When we come back, we'll show you this beautiful place at Christmastime. Laura and I will give you a little mini tour in the next two segments of LARRY KING LIVE.

Don't go away.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KING: We're going to conclude tonight's special edition of LARRY KING LIVE with two segments devoted to the wonderful, beautiful way they've done the White House for Christmas this year, and the first lady continues with us. We're in the East Room.

BUSH: That's right, the East Room. And as you know, the theme is the season of stories. And so we have "Harry Potter" here.

"Harry Potter" has really made kids read. Little boys are really reading "Harry Potter" all around the country. And I think that's terrific.

KING: The world.

BUSH: Around the world, absolutely. I read them all this summer.

KING: You did?

BUSH: And I loved them.

KING: I have no surprise that storybook would be your theme somehow. What do you love about him?

BUSH: Well, I just love how imaginative J.K. Rowling is. That the stories are very creative. They're actually pretty adult. They're also great for adults to read, especially as you get on into the fifth volume. But I loved it this summer.

I had all five of them to read, because I never started them before. So I had her whole body of work to read at once in the summer.

KING: Did you supervise the whole setup of this?

BUSH: I supervised the whole thing. We picked the theme, the season of stories. And of course I picked the stories that I love best.

So on another mantle over here we have "Little Women," which is my favorite book. It was the book I remember the most, with reading my mother.

KING: That's over there.

BUSH: And Jo, of course, in "Little Women" is one of my favorite characters in all of American literature.

KING: The trees came from who?

BUSH: The trees came from Wisconsin and really from all over the United States. And the decorations are all candy. As you can see, these are all real glass ornaments, but they are cupcakes and peppermints and candy canes.

KING: As my little boy has discovered.

BUSH: Yes, exactly. So it's a perfect Christmas decoration for children.

KING: That's just beautiful. We're going to head into the -- I guess this is the main tree area, right?

BUSH: That's right. We're going to the Blue Room, where the tree is. This is the big Christmas tree in the Blue Room, the traditional Christmas tree. It is actually from the farm in Wisconsin.

And it's huge. It's so huge, they take down the chandelier, and then they secure the tree up there where the chandelier hook is.

And these decorations, all of these storybook characters -- and I think there are about 70 of them -- are on loan from the Bush Library, because the very first Christmas my in-laws were here, Barbara Bush, of course, had these stories as her Christmas decorations. And so I sort of hesitated from doing this theme, because she did it. But then I thought it's perfect. We like to pass down our ornaments, and so it's really nice to have...

KING: Beautiful ornaments.

(CROSSTALK)

BUSH: Barbara and Jenna's grandparents' ornaments on this tree.

KING: Now, this tree just came here one week ago. Because I saw the arrival...

BUSH: That's right. And it was very fresh. They had just cut it at the tree farm...

KING: How do they do all this so fast?

BUSH: Well, they have a lot of volunteers that come volunteer for us, and decorators from around the country, friends of mine who love to do this come, and they spend all week. And there is that point on the Tuesday before the first part on Wednesday, where you think, oh no, this year they're not going to be able to get it together. But of course they do.

And isn't it great? And on this tree we have Little Red Riding Hood and Gretel from Hansel and Gretel. And at the top we have the Queen of Hearts.

KING: Yes.

BUSH: There at the very top. And just every storybook character you can think of us is on this tree.

KING: Now today -- earlier today, you entertained kids here.

BUSH: That's right. We had the traditional kids' party, children's party at the White House. This year we hosted children who have at least one parent deployed, either in Afghanistan or in Iraq.

And because we set it up a little bit differently, we could have a lot more children. So some children were in here with Santa Claus, and some were in by the gingerbread house with Roland (ph), the pastry chef. And then we all came together in the East Room for the Washington Ballet to dance a little bit of the Nutcracker.

KING: You plan all this, huh?

(CROSSTALK)

BUSH: I do. Well, I plan on it, plan all of it. And then, of course, I have a lot of help. For instance, these were all made by the florists that were here. And, in fact, they made these ornaments for Barbara Bush 14 years ago.

KING: Wow.

BUSH: And they make everything now.

KING: One thing on the tree, Laura. How is it picked?

BUSH: Every year the national Christmas tree growers pick the actual tree.

KING: Oh, they pick it.

BUSH: They pick the farm, I guess, that's going to donate the tree.

KING: Beautiful tree.

BUSH: And it's beautiful. And this year it was a couple from Wisconsin who have a long history of growing Christmas trees. And they grow for the big retail Christmas tree market all over the United States.

KING: We're going to go to break. When we come back, we're going to see that gingerbread house as we walk to the next room with Laura Bush on this special edition of LARRY KING LIVE.

Say, "We'll be right back."

BUSH: We'll be right back.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

G. W. BUSH: Sure glad you're here. Welcome to the White House. Thanks for coming. I hope you've had fun today. I'll make sure the guards are watching that you didn't eat pieces of the gingerbread house.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: We're here at the really magnificent gingerbread house. This is always spectacular, every year that Roland (ph) has done it, which has been for what, 28 years?

(CROSSTALK)

BUSH: Twenty-five years.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This here, we changed a little bit of the structure of the White House, we cheated a little bit, because we needed a lot of wall space to exhibit all the characters from the book. So we made -- we actually changed the house and made it tall. So we cheated a little bit on that, on the design. But it's a very fun project, as you can see, to do all these figurines and things, and I know the children are going to have a wonderful time discovering their favorite books. So they're all here, as many as we could do, and we hope that everybody will enjoy that.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: As we enter the dining room, wow.

BUSH: This is the State Dining Room. And this is the big table where we have the buffets for all the receptions that we have. And of course the florists and everyone who builds everything for the White House did this really wonderful "Alice in Wonderland." We have the rabbit, of course, and Alice, and the Mad Hatter, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, who I think are really adorable.

KING: Which one's which?

BUSH: Yes, I don't know which one's which. I guess we can just name either one. And on the other side of the table we have the Queen of Hearts and the Chesshire Cat. And at night, when there are big parties here, this is the table that's filled with the buffet.

This is such a really beautiful room. The really significant thing about the dining room, of course, is the fabulous portrait of Lincoln that's above the mantle.

KING: There's such a great tribute to reading, too.

BUSH: I hope so. I hope it will make everyone remember that books are a great gift at Christmas. And when you give children books, then you're letting them know that reading is important to you and that you want it to be important to them.

KING: Why do children love to read the same thing over and over? Read it again.

BUSH: I think that's really a way that they learn to speak and learn to read and learn words. And that pattern of nursery rhymes, for instance, or stories, I think there's something very comforting about repeating the stories over and over.

KING: Tell us about this magnificent edifice.

BUSH: Well, Roland (ph), our pastry chef, as you can tell, is a genius. And look at this. This is the White House, and all these storybook characters around the White House. "The Cat in the Hat" standing right here at the front. Every storybook character you can think of. There's one of the little pigs. In this little window right here, this is a favorite story that we loved reading for the girls when they were babies. It's "Good Night Moon," and that's the Green Room right there in the White House.

And look who I brought in to show you the gingerbread house.

G. W. BUSH: Happy holidays.

KING: Same to you, my friend.

G. W. BUSH: You're looking good.

KING: Feel good -- you too.

G. W. BUSH: Yes, I'm feeling good.

(CROSSTALK)

KING: Can I pick him up?

L. BUSH: Yes. He's kind of heavy, too. He's a good boy. He's a good boy.

G. W. BUSH: He wants to be in the picture.

L. BUSH: Spotty wants to be in the picture, too. Come on Spotty.

KING: Spotty.

G. W. BUSH: How are you doing?

KING: I'm doing great -- you?

G. W. BUSH: Real good, thanks.

KING: Feel good?

G. W. BUSH: Feeling great.

KING: Getting all primed?

G. W. BUSH: Getting all primed.

KING: Do you get ready for a campaign? Are you just geared?

G. W. BUSH: No, not right now. You know, when you're an incumbent, you do your job. And I've got a lot on my agenda these days.

KING: I've heard.

G. W. BUSH: And you know, the politics will come in its own time. We've got about a year, about 11 months before the people vote. And there'll be ample time for campaigns.

KING: Your lady has done a wonderful job in this house.

G. W. BUSH: She has. She's doing a heck of a good job.

L. BUSH: He's pretending like he actually did all of the decorations.

KING: Did you do anything?

G. W. BUSH: No. Actually, I came and thanked all of the decorators.

KING: You know what, walking in like this? I'm getting to think that you've become Mr. Surprise.

G. W. BUSH: You think so? This is about as big as going to Baghdad, dropping in on Larry King.

KING: Mr. President, it's an honor. I'm so happy that you just walked in. We're right at the end of the show. You can close the show with us.

G. W. BUSH: Oh, well, good. Thanks.

L. BUSH: Great, perfect.

KING: This is a great Christmas.

G. W. BUSH: It is. We want all our fellow Americans to have a great holiday season. And we especially extend, you know, our greetings and joy to our troops overseas. There are some fine people that are serving our country. And I know it's hard for their families to be separated.

The sacrifices they're making on all our behalf is noble.

KING: Is that the hardest thing about being president, sending people off?

G. W. BUSH: Well, it's a tough part about being -- doing -- being the president. But I believe so strongly in what we're doing, that we're at war. And I want to win the war. My job is to protect the American people and promote the peace, and that's what we're doing. And our troops are doing that. And for that we're very grateful.

(CROSSTALK)

KING: It's tough, though, to know, even with the strong belief, that you're sending them somewhere in peril.

G. W. BUSH: Of course it is. Of course it is. It is.

KING: But the rewards are great. G. W. BUSH: I think no question. America's is going to be more secure and the world will be more peaceful. And that's really important.

L. BUSH: And that's our hope for the holidays, peace.

G. W. BUSH: It is.

KING: Not a bad wish.

I'll be back in a minute to close it off. Don't go away.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KING: Aaron Brown is next with "NEWSNIGHT." Oprah Winfrey tomorrow night.

We're with the Bushes. It's Christmastime in Washington. Say good night.

Mission Controllers at NASA may decide to lengthen the American Shuttle's stay in orbit for an extra day.

Earlier in the flight the crew of Atlantis had problems assembling an exercise treadmill to be used on the international space station being built later this year.

The shuttle is currently docked to the Russian space station "Mir" where it picked up one America astronaut and dropped off his replacement.

The crew of the American Space Shuttle and Russian Space Station "Mir" say their goodbyes as the Atlantis prepares to return to earth.

The U-S astronaut John Blaha who has been on board the Mir for four-months - and is being replaced by Dr. Jerry Linenger.

But NASA may force Blaha to stay in space for an extra day as experiments on exercise equipment haven't gone to plan.

The equipment will be needed on the planned international space station to help space travellers fight the typical loss of bone and muscle mass in weightlessness.

As astronauts on the Atlantis prepare to undock from the "Mir" on Sunday night they're planning to squeeze in time on the treadmill to gather the necessary data.

If all goes well the Atlantis could land on Wednesday.

42248 IRAQ: 6TH ANNIVERSARY OF 1ST IRAQI MISSILE ATTACK ON TEL AVIV CELEBRATED 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:17:54 00:01:43 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat

Thousands of Iraqis rallied in Baghdad on Saturday to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the first Iraqi missile attack on Tel Aviv in 1991.

It's called "Science Day" when people turn out to show their loyalty to President Saddam Hussein who ordered the strikes during the second Gulf War.

Thousands of people rallied in the centre of Baghdad, in the Al-Mosstansirya-seq quarter, to mark the anniversary of the 1991 missile attack on Israel.

Carrying portraits of Saddam and banners swearing their allegiance - Iraqis honoured their president for ordering the attacks on Tel Aviv.

It's an annual event - schools and government offices also carry out their own forms of celebration.

At the martyr monument people showed the "V" for victory sign and remembered the night of 18th January, 1991, when Iraq released 39 missiles over Tel Aviv, the Occupied Territories and the Allied Forces in the desert.

"Science Day" also pays tribute to the Iraqi scientists who made the long-range missiles.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"They call this science day because these Iraqi rocket hits on Tel Aviv in 1991

were with rockets made by Iraqi scientists, not supported by other scientists from all over the world".

Officially at least, Iraqis see the day as one of victory.

Much of the weaponry and scientific installations were destroyed during the Gulf War and its aftermath.

42251 BULGARIA: SOFIA: PROTESTS CONTINUE AGAINST SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:27:51 00:02:13 BNT No Access Bulgaria VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat

A huge crowd of opposition supporters greeted the inauguration of Bulgaria's new president Sunday, as protests continue against the country's socialist government.

Petar Stoyanov became Bulgaria's second democratically elected head of state in a brief ceremony inside Parliament but then joined an opposition rally outside the cathedral.

Bulgaria's capital Sofia has been rocked by almost two weeks of protest rallies calling for new elections.

An estimated forty thousand people filled the square in front of Sofia's Saint Alexander Nevski cathedral to welcome the new president.

Petar Stoyanov overwhelmingly won last November's elections as the candidate of the anti-Socialist opposition front.

On Sunday he - and his deputy Todor Kavaldziev - were sworn in front of a Parliament driven by political conflict.

For the past 13 days - tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in Sofia and other cities across the country demanding a change of government.

But opposition deputies suspended their boycott of the legislature for the occasion and sat together with members of the Socialist Party, former Communists, whom they want to oust from power.

The Socialists have led five of seven governments in Bulgaria since 1989 and been widely blamed for Bulgaria's economic misery - annual inflation is running at over 300 percent.

Stoyanov will have a tough task ahead if he is to turn the country around - but he has something the government does not - popular support.

42252 USA: CHICAGO: STEVE FOSSETT EXPECTED TO LAND IN INDIA OR BANGLADESH 1/19/97 EF97/0057 19:42:59 - 20:08:18 00:01:12 CLTV No Access Chicago VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat

An American millionaire's dream of being the first balloonist to circumnavigate the globe looks set to be thwarted.

Steve Fossett is expected to land either in India or Bangladesh around 0700 GMT Monday.

The trip that began in St. Louis six days ago was cut short due to fuel shortage.

The balloonist may not have achieved his ambition but he has made the record books by flying twice as far as anyone else in a balloon.

The daring balloon attempt by a 52-year-old securities trader looks set to finish in failure Monday despite having set new records for distance and duration.

Steve Fossett's dream of being the first balloonist to travel around the world non-stop was thwarted after six days due to short supplies of fuel.

Fossett - who lifted off in his silver-coloured Solo Spirit balloon from Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Monday night - was forced to use up fuel stocks after he was initially refused permission to cross Libyan airspace.

It is anticipated that Fossett will land along the east coast of India, south of Calcutta.

Floating at 20,000 feet above India on Sunday, Fossett and his

supporters back in the Midwest plotted a landing before he began

passing over the rugged mountains of Southeast Asia or the Pacific

Ocean.

SOUNDBITE:

" If he's thinking proper, he'll realise that he's gonna drift towards up into the Himalayas, and he'll want to try to land as soon as he can just before or just after sunrise before he gets any closer to the Himalayan mountains."

SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper Member of support team

Fossett already has far eclipsed his own distance ballooning record, 5,435 miles (8,746 kilometres) on a 1995 flight from Seoul, Korea, to

Canada.

SOUNDBITE:

"You have to remember this has never been done. Steve's just gone half way around the world. The other two teams that have ever tried this went at the most 4-hundred miles. Steve's gone over 7-thousand miles. He's been travelling up to five miles above the earth. I mean this is an unbelievable physical feat. Technologically it shows that we can do it. And I think the thing that people have to remember is that we've had tremendous competition from the Swiss and the English. An American has broken the record and will probably have his name on two of the three most prestigious titles in aviation."

SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper, Member of the support team

The American planned to stay aloft until early Monday so he'd

beat not only a world distance record for ballooning but

also the record for longest time spent in the air.

By noon Saturday, Fossett had travelled 9,600 miles (15,500

km) .

Inside the cabin, temperatures ranged from zero degrees to

10 degrees F (-18 C to -12 C); outside it was 30 to 50 F

below (-35 to -45 C).

Fossett's cabin heaters don't operate in the oxygen-starved altitudes above 24,000 feet (7,315 m), and he is expected to capitalise on the strong winds above that great height all day.

But at night, Fossett planned to drop to about 18,000 feet (5,500 m) in order to get the heaters working again.

The physical strain on Fossett was also cited as a reason

to abort the mission.

The millionaire failed his first round-the-world attempt one year

ago.

His current adventure was the third transglobal attempt this year.

British businessman Richard Branson's Global Challenger balloon was forced down by equipment problems in the North African desert January 8 after lifting off from Marrakech two days earlier.

Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Bertrand Piccard and his crew ditched in the Mediterranean four days later after kerosene fumes filled their cockpit.

The American stockbroker should take solace on his return to earth that although he did not fulfil his dream, the record breaking balloon flight has made him master of the sky.

Thousands of opposition supporters gathered on Sunday in Belgrade as their protests continued into their 61st successive day,

As police again blocked streets around the main city square, many brought their dogs along for the walk, mocking police containment of the demonstrations to pedestrian zones.

Opposition leader Vuk Draskovic expressed concern that as the pressure on Milosevic increases, his next move may be to provoke bloodshed.

It was the dogs day out in Serbia Sunday, as demonstrators brought canine pets to the 61st consecutive day of rallying.

10 thousand protesters gathered in the centre of Belgrade, some clutching stuffed animals, doing their best to comply with the protest organisers' request that the theme of the day's protest be dogs.

The protest mocked the police containment of the demonstrators in a pedestrian zone, the slogan for the day: 'If we can't walk, let's walk our dogs.'

As opposition leader Zoran Djindjic was securing the support of German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel in Bonn, at the rally his colleague Vuk Draskovic expressed concern over the next possible move by an increasingly desperate Milosevic.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"I am very afraid that Mr Milosevic has decided to solve the problem of annulling election results of the people of Serbia by producing a bigger and the biggest problem. By producing bloodshed in Kosovo."

His concerns follow recent accusations by the Serbian government that the Opposition Party Zajedno (Together) Coalition triggered a recent car bomb attack in Pristina.

However the terrorist attack has widely been seen as an act of the ethnic Albanian separatist organisation.

42254 FRANCE: PARIS: 2ND DAY OF PREMIERE HAUTE COUTURE FASHION EVENT 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:22:23 00:02:34 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat

At the second day of Paris's premiere haute couture fashion event Sunday - it was Olivier Lapidus and Torrente's turn to show off their wares.

The feature of Lapidus's show was his choice of "bio-fibres" - fabrics extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.

Over the next week some of the world's top designers will exhibit at the event organised by the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.

When Olivier Lapidus's designs took centre stage at the spring/summer haute couture fashion event in Paris Sunday - all talk was about his choice in fabrics.

The designer had chosen to work with "bio-fibres" - extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.

Early in the show a model appeared on the catwalk dressed in a shirt with real flowers.

37 year old Olivier Lapidus, son of Ted, has proven to be experimental in the past.

The youngest of the French high fashion designers - last July Lapidus unveiled a solar energy garment.

The Lapidus motto - research enables industry to advance and industry helps fashion to progress.

Lapidus would like to turn the European agricultural surplus into a range of textiles.

One of the most beautiful of the Lapidus creations was the red evening dress modelled later in the show.

This gown was made with silk, grape vine and blackcurrant.

And then came the wedding gown - traditionally a designer's show stopper.

The gown was modelled by Olivier Lapidus's fiancee.

The designer joined her on the catwalk to receive his applause - she will wear the bridal gown at their March wedding.

Backstage there was congratulations for the innovative Lapidus collection.

The young designer explained his philosophy on haute couture.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Haute Couture for me is a laboratory. It is not only the past, it is not only the history, the museum if you want, it is not only naked women with you know many embroideries. Haute couture has to be alive. Haute couture has to bring something to people and this is why I try to make new things in haute couture. And this time those fibres from roses from you know flowers, fruit, vegetable, whatever - they are going to give maybe 300 new fibres in the normal textile field."

SUPER-CAPTION: Olivier Lapidus, French designer.

The theme of the Torrente spring summer haute couture collection was "distant travels, to the southern seas, to Polynesia."

The philosophy behind these designs - fashion which is simple, pure and rhythmic.

The models showed off body hugging cocktail dresses and suits with slim fitted coats and straight cut double breasted jackets.

Madame Rose Torrente-Mett also showed off her taste for extreme sophistication through her range of evening gowns.

As tradition requires - she also joined the models on the catwalk after revealing her bridal gown.

42255 WEST BANK: HEBRON: YASSER ARAFAT 1ST VISIT SINCE ISRAELI REDEPLOYMENT 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:00:53 0:02:57 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Arabic/Nat

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has arrived in Hebron to the cheers of more than 60- thousand jubilant Palestinians.

They are celebrating the Palestinian take-over of most of the city after three decades of Israeli occupation.

Arafat said he hoped the agreement on Hebron would be a step towards bringing a lasting peace to the rest of the Middle East - including Syria and Lebanon.

Before leaving for Hebron - in a triumphant return to the city he last saw more than 30 years ago - Yasser Arafat inspected a guard of honour in Ramallah.

His helicopter then whisked him off to the city whose future he's spent so many months negotiating.

He landed just outside the former Israeli military headquarters where Palestinian activists were jailed during Israeli rule. The building will now serve as the Palestinian police H.Q..

As he was driven from the landing pad to the building, Arafat threw kisses to the crowd which was chanting "Long live Palestine" and "Long live Arafat."

He told the crowd of more than 60-thousand people that Hebron is a "liberated city" but he said Palestinians don't want confrontation with the Jewish settlers - they want peace.

As the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrived in Hebron for the first time in nearly three decades, Jewish settlers are still angry that the city has been handed back to the Palestinians.

Arafat's government took control of 80 percent of Hebron on Friday after months of negotiations with the hard-line government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As thousands of Palestinians gave their leader Yasser Arafat a hero's welcome into Hebron, the mood in the Jewish sector was much more sombre.

The people of H2 - as the 20 percent of Hebron remaining under Israeli control will be known - were not celebrating.

This area in the heart of the city is home to about 500 Jewish settlers and about 15-thousand Palestinians and is heavily guarded by Israeli police.

The settlers say they will not give up their fight for Hebron which is considered holy to both Jews and Muslims.

Despite Arafat saying he did not want confrontation with the Jewish settlers - attitudes remained unchanged and Arafat's visit was not welcomed.

A settlers' spokesman said it was a desecration to allow their "arch enemy" Arafat into the city.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"The Israeli government that we elected, allowed our arch enemy to come into Hebron. The man who's hands are soaked with the blood of so many Jewish men, women and children is despicable. We feel that this is a desecration of the sanctity of the second holiest city of the Jewish people in the land of Israel."

SUPER CAPTION: David Wilder, Hebron Settlers' spokesperson

The potential difficulties of life under the new regime are still yet to be fully realised.

The dividing line between H1 - the Palestinian controlled part of Hebron and H2 - the Israeli controlled sector - has been kept deliberately vague.

Israeli army commanders said the vagueness was intentional - to

avoid cutting the town in two and to permit free movement.

But new checkpoints have sprung up on either side and there are fears a new "Berlin" may have been created - a city divided by imaginary lines and centuries old hatreds.

42258 SOUTH AFRICA: ONE OF WORLD'S HIGHEST RATES OF RAPE 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:08:47 00:03:09 ALL APTV EXCEPT SHOT 1 = SABC Please Note: legal restrictions may apply to footage of rape victims who are minors. VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat

South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. It is estimated that a woman is raped every 34 seconds.

And police believe many more cases go unreported.

Many believe crime and violence are getting out of control. They are calling for the government to crack down on violent crimes and bring back the death penalty for rapists.

It's a crime that happens every day in South Africa.

Only a few rare cases, like the recent plight of four Johannesburg teenagers raped in their homes during two separate attacks in two weeks, hit the headlines nation-wide.

Groups of armed men broke into the victims' homes and tied up family members before robbing the houses and raping four girls aged from thirteen to twenty-four.

Eight suspects allegedly involved in the attacks appeared in court last week and were denied bail.

SOUNDBITE:

"He tied us all in the bedroom. Like he told us to shut up. He doesn't want our lives, he just wants money. And then he said that I must get up so I got up. He took me to the bathroom and he raped me. And he just left me there."

SUPERCAPTION: Fourteen-year-old rape victim

South Africa's Human Rights Commission last week revealed that over 31-thousand rapes were reported to police during the first half of last year.

But the figure gives only a partial idea of the tragedy - police believe only one in thirty- five cases of rape are reported.

For those who have suffered this crime, or who have to deal with family members victims of rape, pain and anger become a daily reality. But many have decided to fight back.

SOUNDBITE:

''I would like to send a message to all rapists that your days are numbered. That you have messed with the wrong people. And that we can fight back. This is it. This is it."

SUPERCAPTION: Jane, Mother of teenage rape victim

The families of the recent Johannesburg rape victims organised a public meeting calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty, abolished in 1995 after the A-N-C won the country's first democratic elections.

They launched a campaign named "Camelot" - Campaign Against Murderous Empowered Laws of Treason - calling on citizens to press for changes in legislation to crack down on rapists and child abusers.

They want to see men accused of rape being denied bail, and those convicted, being surgically castrated within 24-hours of sentencing.

Their pleas are addressed to South Africa's Justice Minister, who is spearheading the move towards the creation of special "rape courts".

These courts will help magistrates and prosecutors deal more efficiently with the rape cases when they are separated from the general case roll.

Magistrates will be required to ensure unfair cross-examination of rape victims is not carried out and that they are handled with compassion.

New legislation to get tough on rapists is to be presented to South Africa's parliament in the first half of this year.

SOUNDBITE:

"And our courts must send a signal to society that we are not prepared to tolerate this kind of crime. And therefore heavy sentences will have to be imposed."

Being security conscious has become a way of life for women in South Africa. Those who can afford weapons learn how to use them. Shooting ranges around the country have many women members, and most offer shooting instructions for women.

Self-defence seminars and classes are also popular. During these sessions women are taught how to react when being attacked.

And how not to think like a victim, but to adopt a calm attitude during a violent attack.

Women feel threatened by the ever increasing violent crimes.

Locking doors, checking where and when you walk or whether you're being followed is an everyday reality for women living in South Africa.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

''It is not the way I want to live. I want to be free and have freedom of movement, go wherever I want to go at any time of the day. Not thinking of someone who is following me or thinking of my safety."

Groups like People Opposing Woman Abuse believe the reasons for the country's rampant rape crimes cannot be attributed to a single factor.

They're pushing the government to set up an intensive education campaign to teach girls from an early age what their rights as women are.

SOUNDBITE:

"South Africa has a very high general rate of violence and crime. And I think that contributes towards the situation. I think it also stems from the patriarchal society we live in."

A senior U-N Envoy has added her voice to the chorus of criticism facing the Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.

Elizabeth Rehn, the organisations Human Rights Envoy in the former Yugoslavia urged the President to acknowledge the election triumphs of opposition parties.

She announced that her delegation fully supported the OSCE report on the November 17 election result, which recognised the opposition's victory.

Elizabeth Rehn's comments underline the growing international pressure on President Milosevic to accept the result of November's poll.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

The basis of the international disquiet is a report from a delegation of OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) members, led by the former Spanish Premier Felipe Gonzalez.

They ruled that the Serbian opposition had won local elections in 14 big cities and towns throughout the country.

The OSCE delegation had originally been invited to look at the results by the Serbian President himself, but Milosevic has shown little sign of accepting the report's findings.

The government's refusal to act triggered mass protests across the republic which have been going on for nine weeks.

Rehn's comments came as she held talks with the Yugoslav Foreign minister Milan Milutinovic and Serbia's opposition leaders, but she did not meet the Serbian president.

She later denied reports that Milutinovic had claimed student protesters were being paid to demonstrate

About five hundred Sunni Muslim demonstrators set fire to an Iranian Cultural Centre in the Pakistani city of Lahore, Sunday, following the death of an Islamic leader in the city the day before.

The leader of a prominent Sunni group was among 25 people killed when a bomb in a motorcycle exploded outside a courthouse.

Militant Sunnis have blamed Iran - which is predominantly Shi'ite - for the bomb attack and demanded the government sever its links with Tehran.

There was still anger on the streets of Lahore as fire fighters put out the blaze which had destroyed the Iranian Cultural Centre.

A few demonstrators - a fraction of the number which had earlier attacked the building - threw pieces of debris at the authorities tackling the fire.

Also gutted in the blaze was the office of Pakistan's Senate Leader - Wasim Sajjad - which was next door.

The mob was acting in revenge for the killing of 25 people - including Zia-ur Rehman, a leader of a Sunni Muslim group called the Guardians of the Friends of the Prophet.

They died when a motorcycle bomb exploded outside a court in the city.

Eight thousand people attended Rehman's funeral which was held in his hometown of Jhang, about 200 kilometres (125 mile) southwest of Lahore.

Rehman and another leader - Azim Tariq - were at the Lahore Sessions Court for their trial on murder charges - Tariq was seriously wounded.

Both the men Tariq and Rehman were candidates in next month's general elections, but after the bombing the authorities decided to postpone elections in Rehman's central Punjab constituency.

No-one has claimed responsibility for the bombing but the Guardians are blaming Pakistan's Shi'ite minority - saying they are backed by Iran.

Sunni radicals have vowed to seek revenge for the bombing, a threat that has police worried about retaliatory attacks against Pakistan's minority Shiite Muslims

Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis and space station Mir have sealed the hatches connecting the two vessels Sunday in preparation for undocking.

NASA still has to decide if the US shuttle will stay in space for an extra day to complete tests on exercise equipment for the new international space station.

The Shuttle crew had earlier experienced difficulty assembling a treadmill and lost data when a computer failed.

The crews of the Atlantis space shuttle and the Mir space stations said their good-byes Sunday.

They held a farewell party for John Blaha who's being replaced after four months in space.

Astronaut Jerry Linenger will now be staying with the Russian crew aboard Mir for 4 and a half months.

He thanked his Mission Control team-mates for getting him to the space station.

After waving goodbye, the Russian team closed the hatch leading to

Mir in preparation for the crafts separation later Sunday.

The Atlantis astronauts then tested lights illuminating the so-called docking vestibule that bridges the two spacecraft.

After that, U-S astronaut Mike Baker slipped the Atlantis hatch into place and the Atlantis crew depressurised the vestibule.

Elsewhere in the shuttle, the crew continued tasks to prepare for Sunday night's separation and return to Earth later next week.

Inside the Spacehab module, astronaut Marsha Ivins stowed gear received from the Mir station, including food for Blaha.

About 25-thousand demonstrators took to the streets of central Tirana Sunday, demanding that the government take responsibility for the money they lost in pyramid schemes.

Clashes broke out when police tried to push back protesters using batons and water canons.

Over half a million Albanians have invested in these phoney investment schemes promising sky-high interest rates. Many have forfeited all their savings.

Demonstrators, backed by the opposition parties, blame the government for their losses.

Violence broke out in Albania Sunday as twenty-five thousand demonstrators rallied in the capital Tirana and several other cities.

They are calling for the government to take responsibility for their losses following mass investments in fictitious companies.

Chants of ''down with dictatorship'' mingled with those demanding ''We want our money,'' as protesters in several cities battled police and lobbed stones at government buildings.

In Tirana riot police blocked the streets leading into Skanderbeg Square.

Attempting to push back the protesters, they beat their batons against their shields, but then charged the demonstrators - several were injured.

Plainclothes officers stopped opposition party leaders trying to address the crowd - smashing their megaphones and beating them. Several people were thrown into police vans.

Rexhep Nejdani, the deputy chief of the Socialists, suffered arm injuries.

Supporters trying to shield the opposition leaders were also clubbed by police.

A wave of unrest has swept across Albania over the past week after two pyramid schemes began to collapse.

An estimated 5-hundred-thousand of Albania's three-point-two million citizens have invested money in scams involving fictitious investment companies and charities offering double-digit interest rates.

As elsewhere in post-Communist eastern Europe, pyramid schemes have popped up in poverty-ridden Albania, offering sky-high interest rates to citizens with average monthly wages of sixty to eighty dollars.

Early investors made fortunes in the funds. But because the schemes pay the first investors with the money from later ones, they require a steady stream of new contributors.

Without that, they crumble - as in the case of two of Albania's 10 funds that failed to pay out over the past week, sparking violent demonstrations

The demonstrations against the funds have quickly turned against the government, which investors blame for allowing the get-rich-quick schemes to operate in Albania.

Myfit Muro, from the southern port of Vlaro, sold his house and has invested over 10- thousand dollars (10- million leks) in a pyramid scheme. He's lost everything and now plans to emigrate to Italy.

SOUNDBITE:

The president must say if we will get the money or not. Why did the government allow three or four people to collect all the money of the Albanians and cheat them? Where was the government and the president then? How could they operate without a licence? If I open a shop I need a licence. How could they operate without it?

The people have given the president their vote and he cheated them.

SUPERCAPTION: Myfit Muro, victim of a pyramid scheme,

SOUNDBITE:

I used to work as a butcher in Italy. I have just come back to Albania with 36 (m) million Italian liras (24-thousand dollars), which I deposited at Gjallica (one of the two funds that went bust). I do not expect to get the money back. All the companies are collapsing.

Q: What will you do?

I will emigrate again together with my six brothers.

Q: Whom do you blame for this?

I do not know. We have remained like fish without water. All our money is now at Gjallica.

SUPERCAPTION: Astrit Dalip, victim of pyramid schemes

On Saturday, President Sali Berisha said the government would offer jobs and bank credits to the people most affected by the investment fund failures.

The government last week froze 255 (m) million dollars in assets of some of the funds.

Opposition leaders have accused some of the pyramid-scheme companies of having financed the Democrats' campaign for the May elections.

President Fujimori and other Peruvian government officials took a break from the month- old hostage crisis to spend part of Sunday saying farewell to Cardinal Landazuri - the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Lima.

The cardinal died last Thursday aged 83 after a long battle with cancer.

Mr Fujimori is still refusing to back down over the key demand made by Marxist rebels holding 73 hostages at the Japanese Embassy.

The rebels are insisting the Government release more than 300 Tupac Amaru guerrillas before beginning mediation talks.

Another hostage ventured outside the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima Sunday.

He was identified as the Japanese embassy second secretary Akihisa Ouyigama.

His task - to take batteries out of cars parked in the compound.

One police officer outside the compound speculated that the rebels needed the batteries to power their radios.

On Saturday afternoon - two other hostages made an appearance outside the residence.

Rebels had sent them onto the roof to arrange rebel banners on the side of the building.

The Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement has accepted a government proposal for mediation by Canada's top envoy.

But there's no sign either side is ready to back down over the key issue of the status of 300 jailed guerrillas.

The rebels say it is the government's refusal to negotiate on this issue that is keeping them from the negotiating table.

President Alberto Fujimori says he'll talk about them - but won't release them.

Meanwhile, President Fujimori joined thousands of mourners at Lima's Roman Catholic Cathedral to say farewell to the city's Archbishop - Cardinal Juan Landazuri Ricketts Sunday.

The 83 year old Archbishop died three days ago after a long battle with cancer.

The funeral gave the President and other government officials an opportunity to show it is business as usual despite the month-long stand-off.

Meanwhile, police have ordered journalists from three international news agencies to abandon a rooftop next to the Japanese ambassador's house.

The reporters had been paying the owners of the private home which is within police lines.

Police say it's for security reasons, but there is talk that the order was given by the government to limit coverage of the crisis.

Since the crisis broke out on December 17 the rebels have enjoyed international publicity for their cause.

Two of Mexico's top celebrities, Lucero and Manuel Mijares, wed late Saturday in a lavish ceremony broadcast live on national television.

At least 300 guests crowded the centuries-old San Ignacio Loyola chapel for the ceremony.

Thousands of fans gathered outside for a glimpse of the happy couple, holding up traffic for hours in downtown Mexico.

Soap opera or reality?

For millions of fans across the Spanish-speaking world it was hard to tell the difference as two of Mexico's biggest artists - who have sold millions of pop records - tied the knot.

Lucero entered the chapel on the arm of her father, Antonio Hogaza.

She wore an off the shoulder organza dress, embroidered in pearls.

He wedding to Manuel Mijares married Saturday in a ceremony was estimated to have cost 14 (m) million dollars.

But they won't have to pay for all of it.

According to local press reports, television rights were sold to broadcasters for about eight (m)illion dollars.

There was traffic mayhem as thousands of people gathered at the chapel to get a closer look of the happy couple.

The ceremony was performed by Mexico's archbishop and even the Pope sent a greeting.

Guests included members of the elite of Mexican society and celebrities.

The musical portion of the event included 'Pomp and Circumstance No. 1,' as well as pieces by Verdi, Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, played by an orchestra directed by Carlos Esteva.

The newlyweds will take a 45-day sea cruise for their honeymoon to Japan and the Far East.

The ever-imaginative protest movement in Serbia has brought out its latest weapon onto the streets of Belgrade - thousands of family pets.

On the 61st successive day of demonstrations, the protesters decided to mock the way the riot police are preventing them marching anywhere but pedestrian zones.

They were boosted by comments from a senior U-N envoy who urged President Slobodan Milosevic to acknowledge the results of the disputed November 17 poll.

It was a dog day afternoon in Belgrade Sunday, as pro-democracy supporters brought animals of all shapes and sizes along to the latest protest rally.

Barks punctuated the music and whistles as German shepherds rubbed rumps with poodles as about 10,000 protesters gathered in the centre of Belgrade.

The protest mocked the police containment of the demonstrators in a pedestrian zone.

The slogan for the day: 'If we can't walk, let's walk our dogs.'

Some demonstrators clutched stuffed animals, birds, cats and wind up toys doing their best to comply with the organisers' request that the theme of Sunday's protest be dogs.

After nearly two months of continuous protests, organisers have tried to keep up interest by introducing daily themes.

In the main city square, the emphasis of the rally was on peace.

Opposition leader Vuk Draskovic expressed concern an increasingly desperate Milosevic may attempt to provoke bloodshed in an effort to win the battle for power..

42280 RUSSIA: MOSCOW: NATO SECRETARY GENERAL JAVIER SOLANA VISIT 1/19/97 EF97/0057 20:34:26 00:00:42 RTR No access Russia VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Natural Sound

The secretary-general NATO arrived in Moscow Sunday on a mission to ease Russian fears over the alliance's expansion plans.

Javier Solana is expected to hold five hours of talks on Monday with Russia's Foreign Minister about moves to extend NATO membership to former members of the Warsaw Pact.

Solana wants to establish a new relationship between Russia and NATO before it designates its new members at a July summit.

NATO Secretary General Javier Solana arrived in Moscow Sunday night for talks with Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov.

The 16-nation alliance is eager to establish a new relationship with its old adversary before its summit this summer.

That gathering will decide which countries NATO will allow to join.

The meeting with Primakov, closed to the press, will take place Monday at a government residence outside Moscow.

It is expected to last at least five hours.

Moscow opposes NATO's plans to take in as many as a dozen new members, including many of Russia's former allies in the defunct Warsaw Pact.

However, Primakov said last week that Moscow might be satisfied if NATO provided guarantees that it would not move its military infrastructure, above all nuclear weapons, onto the territory of new members.

42191 BOSNIA: CANADIAN SOLDIERS STAND ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT UPDATE 1/18/97 EF97/0053 16:09:36 00:01:54 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Serbo-Croat/Nat

Forty-seven Canadian soldiers stand accused of sexual misconduct, drunkenness and other abuses in Bosnia.

The abuses allegedly took place on a U-N Peacekeeping mission to protect a mental hospital in central Bosnia in 1993 and '94.

Physical abuse of patients, excessive drinking and sex with interpreters and nurses -- are some of the charges being levied against the Canadian 12th Armored regiment.

Their army commander says the soldiers face disciplinary hearings that could end their military careers.

The Canadian 12th Armoured regiment was assigned to protect a mental hospital in Bakovici, Bosnia located in the war zone.

The regiment was part of the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosnia.

Until the accusation surfaced the mission had been depicted as heroic and successful.

A report on the alleged abuses says the soldiers engaged in consensual sex with nurses at a mental hospital, bought black-market alcohol and abused patients.

Staff at the mental home in Bakovici have confirmed that the incidents took place.

But they claim they were in no position to do anything about it at the time because the country was in the middle of a civil war.

SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)

"We tried to prevent this what happen but it was difficult and soldiers were drinking every night".

SUPER CAPTION: Ivo Markija, Hospital Director

Originally 57 members of the Canadian 12th Armored regiment were named and accused of committing various offences.

Ten of the soldiers left the army, leaving 47 soldiers still subject to military discipline.

The soldiers were on a tour in 1993 and 1994 in Bosnia.

During the conflict the hospital was for some time in the hands of the Croats and subsequently controlled by the Bosnian Serbs.

The report blames much of the wrongdoing on inexperienced leadership.

41972 CHILE: SANTIAGO: UNDERGROUND TRAIN NETWORK TO GET FACE-LIFT 1/20/97 EF97/0060 21:13:14 00:02:27 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Spanish/Nat

Santiago's underground train network is getting a facelift.

Leading artists from Chile and beyond have been given the task of smartening up the modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro .

Riding the metro in the Chilean capital has become something of a cultural experience.

Several stations have been transformed into temples of contemporary art.

This mural by Mario Toral - Visual Memory of the Nation - is one of several that are delighting Santiago's commuters.

Measuring more than 100 feet (30 metres) long and 60 feet (20 metres) wide, it's being billed as Latin America's largest mural.

Completed last May, the enterprise took the internationally renowned painter and a team of assistants two years to execute.

The painter also hopes to complete a second segment of the same size which will narrate Chile's history after the Spanish conquest.

Most recent of the works is "Tiles for Santiago" by Portuguese artist Rogerio Ribeiro which graces the walls of Santa Lucia station and was inaugurated by the president of Portugal last November.

The work is composed of 44-thousand tiles depicting historical episodes common to both Portugal and Spain.

Santiago's travelling public has contemplated the changes with a mixture of bemusement and enthusiasm.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)

"I've been looking at them for a while and I think they're beautiful. I think they ought to put them everywhere so young people like us can learn about this. Very nice."

SUPER CAPTION: Maria Urrutia, Metro passenger

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)

"Fantastic. We're seeing it in other stations and it's good for people's culture. But it's nothing new -- here in Chile it's new but abroad there are always exhibitions and things like that. All culture is good."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)

"I think it's wonderful, really lovely. The best thing around."

SUPER CAPTION: Raquel Poblete, Metro passenger

So far four stations have been transformed into works of art.

But metro directors say 13 more projects are underway.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)

"We've been developing from hanging oil paintings in the stations to more important works where the whole station is used: tiles, stonework, for example, which are more durable and represent a more global use of the stations."

SUPER CAPTION: Daniel Fernandez, Metro director

The scheme has breathed new life into a modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro.

And it's all been achieved at no cost to the public.

Each station has been sponsored by a private company, with the sole incentive that they can afterwards use the artwork for publicity.

42120 SOUTH AFRICA: SPECIALLY TRAINED DOGS HELP ARSON INSPECTORS 1/20/97 EF97/0058 07:35:22 00:02:33 SABC No Access South Africa VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Natural Sound

Specially trained dogs have become an invaluable tool to emergency and rescue workers around the world.

Their acute sense of smell has saved countless lives after avalanches or earthquakes.

For one dog in South Africa, sniffing out the cause of a fire is all in a day's work.

Tilly has an uncanny ability to help arson investigators.

She's been highly successful and both Tilly and her trainer are now off to the United States to share their knowledge at an international police investigations' conference.

Eighteen months ago Tilly was trained by Inspector Kim Yates to become an arson investigator.

The idea of using dogs to sniff out flammable liquids at fire scenes first started in the United States, but Tilly has been such a success that she and her owner are off to teach American dogs new tricks.

After a fire has been put out, she sniffs through the debris, and lies down when she finds the cause.

Last year Tilly investigated two hundred and forty-two fires.

And of all the samples she identified, ninety percent tested positive for arson.

According to her trainer, she can sniff out a fraction of a millilitre of petrol in a building after a blaze.

She has been trained to distinguish between the petroleum released from burnt plastics and other petroleum based liquids used to start a fire.

Tilly's reputation for having one of the best noses in the fire investigation business has won her widespread acclaim.

Now, she along with her owner have been invited to the U-S to help train other dogs in her specialised skills.

Publishing houses from around 80 countries are taking part in the Cairo International Book Fair - the second largest in the world.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak opened the two week event which is expected to attract more than three (m) million visitors of all nationalities.

It's one of the Egyptian capital's biggest cultural events - The Cairo International Book Fair.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak inaugurated the 29th fair - the largest in the Middle East and the second largest in the world.

Mubarak and Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzoury toured one of the seven exhibition halls where state and private-run publishing houses from 80 countries are exhibiting.

They also met a number of foreign publishers.

The book fair continues for 13 days and is run by the Egyptian General Book Organisation.

Some four (m) million books are on display but there's also CD-roms and artistic and cultural activities such as literary seminars and poetry readings.

The fair is being held in the slower weeks of Ramadan.

The Nasser City Fair grounds are open all day except during sunset when Muslims go home to break their fast.

One exhibition that has already proved popular with visitors is the Greek stand.

Although it's a small display, the murals and paintings shown in books and on CD-rom depicting the Greek influence on Egyptian history are particularly eye-catching.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Try to promote the Greek civilisations abroad and in other countries. One of our activities are to promote the Greek books."
