Worker says he killed wife I

MfcXlLU H l Y (Afc) - Kamona
Salcido Bojorquez, a California win
ery worker arrested Wednesday in
the slayings of seven people, told
Mexican police he killed his wife and
a co-worker because he thought they
were having an affair, officials said.
“He was arrested before dawn this
morning in a surprise roadblock set
up by agents fighting the illicit drug
trade,” said Vicente Mendoza, a
spokesman for the attorney general’s
office.
Salcido, also suspected of killing
two daughters, his mother-in-law and
two sisters-in-law in a rampage in
Sonoma County, Calif., was picked
up just outside Guasave, the spokes
man said. The village is near Los
Mochis, Salcido’s hometown in Si
naloa state about 850 miles northwest
ot Mexico *-uy. . •
Mendoza said he did not know
Salcido’s nationality, and U S. Em
bassy spokesman Bill Graves said the
embassy was not certain whether he
was an American citizen.
“He has been arrested at the re
quest of U.S. authorities who have
asked for his extradition. We are
bringing him to Mexico City, Men
doza said, adding that Salcido was in
the custody of the Federal Judicial
Police, a branch of the attorney gen
eral’s office.

Congress: Spill response I
was like ‘Keystone Kops’ I
u/achimctoN fAP^ - Trans- rritirnl hrtiirc ilv> mill r.._i
portation Secretary Samuel Skinner
told the Senate Wednesday that in
dustry plans for dealing with an Alas
kan oil spill had been a “zero.” One
senator said the initial response to the
March 24 disaster reminded him of
“the Keystone Kops.”
Most witnesses before the Sen
ate’s environmental protection sub
committee - from federal officials to
Alaska’s governor and industry ex
ecutives - said plans for dealing-with
a spill of oil from the Alaskan pipe
line had not imagined an accident on
the magnitude of the 10-million-gal
lon spill that soiled pristine Prince
William Sound.
Skinner, asked to evaluate the plan
developed by a consortium of oil
companies that ship oil from
Alaska’s North slope through the
pipeline and Valdez harbor, said the
document should not have been ap
proved by the state and should have
brought warnings from the federal
government that the plan was inade
quate.
wii uic scaic oi one 10 i u, 11 was
a zero,” Skinner said of the standby
procedures.
The secretary told the panel that,
before the tanker Exxon Valdez
grounded, everyone had ‘‘assumed
that this would never happen.”
“I don’t think anybody was ready
to deal with a spill of this magni
tude,” said Skinner, whose depart
ment oversees the Coast Guard.
The subcommittee’s chairman,
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., com
plained that “there has never been a
time when this situation was under
control.”
He said the response to the spill
has demonstrated “a complete
breakdown” of the procedures that
were supposed to have been in effect
since the federal government ap
proved the Alaskan pipeline 16 years
ago.
Alaska Gov. Steve Lowper
blamed complacency at all levels for
the poor preparedness, but also said
that there had not been adequate
equipment on hand, that channels of
authority were unclear, and that a
lackol leadership and direc t on in the
delayed cleanup efforts.
He suggested that Alaskans had
trusted the oil industry, which ac
counts for 85 percent of the state
government’s revenue, to take pre
cautions. “We feel like we’ve bin
assaulted,’’ he told the senators.
“From all accounts, the cleanup
crews initially responding to this spill
acted more like the Keystone Kops
than the well-trained oil spill
sponse team described in the indus
try’s contingency plan,’’ declared
Sen. John Chafee, R-R.I.
Skinner said the Bush administra
tion’s decision to leave the primary
responsibility for the cleanup in
Exxon’s hands stemmed from a be
lief that the company had committed
itself to the cleanup and “had the
technical expertise to deal with the
problem.” He said he has been “dis
appointed” that the giant oil com
pany has not been able to assemble
resources more effectively to better
protect the Alaska coastline.
wimam u. Elevens, president ot
Exxon Company USA, denied that
his company has been slow in re
sponding to the crisis, but acknowl
edged that the industry’s prepared
ness was inadequate. This type of
accident was “so highly unlikely that
the consequences of it . . . were
viewed as acceptable,” he told the
subcommittee.
Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, said
that the effects of the spill will last
many years and that the price tag
could exceed $1 billion. Suggesting
that many Americans still cannot
comprehend the extent of damage, he
said the area touched by contamina
tion is the size of three of the Great
Lakes and that if the spill had oc
curred in Portland, Maine, the oil
today “would be almost down to
Washington, D.C.”
Some members of the committee
complained about President Bush’s
reaction, with Majority Leader
George Mitchell of Maine saying
Bush had been “slow to comprehend
the magnitude of this disaster.”
