Reagan asks for ‘best of eight’ in ’88
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan said Monday night in his final
State of the Union message that the
United States was “strong, prosper
ous, at peace,” and he asked Congress
to help make his last year in office
“the best of the eight.”
“I don’t buy the idea that this is the
last year of anything,” Reagan said.
The president said he has a full
agenda for his final months in power:
keeping the economy strong, main
taining peace, attacking social prob
lems, particularly in education, and
promoting the spread of democracy
worldwide.
Without specifying a figure, Re
agan urged Congress to approve more
aid for the Con tra rebels in Nicaragua.
He also called on the Senate to ratify
the recently signed agreement with
the Soviet Union to abolish interme
diate-range nuclear weapons.
Striking a bipartisan theme, Re
agan told the lawmakers, “yes, we
will have our differences. But let us
al ways remember: What unites us far
outweighs whatever divides us.”
Leaders of the Democratic-run
Congress served notice that the legis
lative branch, not Reagan, would
control the national agenda this year.
The president’s “technicolor view
of America and our people sought to
make us feel good with images of
‘morning in America,’” said Senate
Majority Leader Robert Byrd, D
W.Va. in the official Democratic
response.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — State officials
Monday certified that more than
300,000 people signed petitions
demanding Gov. Evan Mecham’s
recall, and he will officially be told
Tuesday he has five days to resign or
agree to run in a recall election.
Secretary of State Rose Mofford.
in a new s release, said her office had
officially tallied 301,032 petition
signatures raised by the Mecham
Recall Committee — much more
than the 216,746 needed to force a
vote.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Mofford plans
to notify Mecham by hand-delivered
letter that he must either resign by
Saturday or run in a recall election,
said slate Elections Director Jim
Shumway. If he docs not resign, Mrs.
Mofford is expected on Feb. 1 to order
a recall election for May 17, when a
number of other local elections are
planned.
Mrs. Mofford, a Democrat, would
replace the governor if he resigned or
were removed from office.
Mccham has repeatedly said he
has no plans to resign, when the recall
petition campaign kicked off in early
July, the Republican governor ques
tioned whether “a few homosexuals
and dissident Democrats” could raise
enough signatures.
When it became clear months latpr
that a large number of signatures were
being gathered, Mccham and his
supporters claimed there appeared to
be Iraud in the petition process.
Bush would Rather not talk
WASHINGTON — Vice Presi
dent George Bush, in a combative
interview broadcast live on the CBS
Evening News, dismissed questions
about his role in the Iran-Contra affair
and repeated his statement that he
voiced private concerns about the sale
of arms to Iran.
“You know what I’m hiding?
What I told the president — that’s the
only thing.” Bush said.
Bush responded angrily to ques
tioning on the affair by anchor Dan
Rather, saying, “I have respect for
you but I don’t have respect for what
you’re doing here tonight.”
“Everybody’s admitted mistakes.
I’ve admitted mistakes — and you
want to dwell on them,” Bush said.

Shultz: U.S. will respond to violations
WASHINGTON — Secretary of
State George P. Shultz assured con
servative critics Monday the United
States will respond vigorously if the
Soviet Union violates the new arms
reduction treaty in Europe, but Sen.
Jesse Helms declared the Soviet un
ion already is exploiting an “en
graved invitation to cheat."
As Shultz led off the
administration’s campaign for Sen
ate ratification of the treaty, Helms,
R-N.C., waving a document marked
“TOP SECRET” in bright red, con
tended he had obtained classified
information proving the Soviets al
ready have violated the pact which
calls for the elimination of medium
and shorter-range nuclear missiles.
Helms, an outspoken conserva
tive, told the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee he had received
confirmation of the document’s au
thenticity — its contents still undis
closed— from CIA Director William
Webster.
But Sen. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md.,
complaining that Helms had not read
aloud from a key section of a letter
from Webster, quoted the Cl A direc
tor as saying that while the document
represented excerpt s from a draft of a
CIA national intelligence estimate, it
did not tell the whole story.

The Daily Nebraskan erred in
Friday’s story concerning the ASUN
budget request at the Committee for
Fees Allocation meeting.
ASUN requested $86,721 for sala
ries in the coming year, up from
$81,772 the previous year, a 6 percent
increase. The request was reported as
$87,805 for the coming year, up from
$51,372, a 71 percent increase.
Also, ASUN poll workers arc
considered a one-time expense, not
regular employees.
The Daily Nebraskan incorrectly
stated that 250 people attended the
Walk for Life rally Saturday. The
correct number is 2,500. The Daily
Nebraskan regrets the error.
