She said all students, both male and female, were invited. “This week is geared toward stu dents to help them find a balance in their life, feel good about them selves and be happy with their bod ies. ■ Omaha may be among the cities to participate in the fracking program. ' WASHINGTON (AP) - The Clinton administration wants to bring more cities, including Omaha, under a program that traces guns used by young criminals in light of a report that shows one-third to half of such guns were passed on to them illegally after being purchased from licensed dealers by “straw” buyers. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms released an analysis -Sunday of its Youth ^knei?Gunj ' Interdiction Initiative . The'pro^hn traced guns used in 76,260 crimes in 27 cities over the past three years. ;______ " -i-r President Clinton is asking Congress in his new budget proposal for money to pay for expanding the initia tive to 10 more cities across t£e country. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found large numbers of the traced guns were purchased from licensed dealers by people acting as intermediaries for the real owners and that 35 percent were stolen. The remainder had been obtained from private sellers not required to obtain identification or sub ject their customers to background checks. The agency said new guns reaching the hands of young criminals from straw juveniles over die past three years, and between 32 percent and 49 percent of firearms recovered from offenders aged 18-24; ‘‘With more police on the streets and tougher gun laws on the books, crime has droppedto its lowest level in a gen eration. But we must do more,” Clinton said. “Tracing crime guns to their source, and putting gun traffickers out of business for good, will make our streets even safer.” Denise Dunleavy. an attorney for seven families who won a $4 nffllion negligence verdict against gun manu facturers in a Brooklyn court last week, said, “If the manufacturers took more rigorous precautions up front, you i ne tsrooKjyn case, orougnt in iyv3 by a mother whose son was shot to death, is being watched closely by cities anxious to sue manufacturers to recover costs from gun violences. Sunday’s report, Dunleavy said, “proves our evi dence was certainly on the light track.” “If the manufacturers don’t get it after we won the trial and don’t get it today after the ATF report, they never will,” she said. Thrt 25percent of die guns moved quickly fmm sale to recovoy by police indicates they woe bought legally, then resold, Treasury officials said. Semiautomatic pistols were die most commonly recovered weapon in each citymaking up 52 percent of all trace requests. Clinpo&’s budget request for fiscal 2000 includes an additional $11.2 mil lion to expand the tracing program to 10 additional tides: Charlotte, N.C.; Dallas; Denver; Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans; Oakland, Calif.; Omaha; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; and Tampa, Fla.
