Norita said in the Philippines,the drug can be boughtfor $35 agram and when it finds its way toSaipan,it could fetch as much as$2,(0).

He said the best way to controlthe proliferation of the drug is tochokeentrypointslike theairportand the seaports.

Corruptionaggravates

• •power crisisMANILA (AP) - The Philip­pines' electricity crisis has beenexacerbated by widespread cor­ruption including theft,overpricing and phony deliveryofsparepartstogeneratingplants,a newspaper reported Wednes­day.

Power wascut againWednes­day throughout Manila andelsewhere because of majorshortfalls in generating capacity.Officials say the daily cuts willcontinue until atleastSeptember.

On Wednesday, The ManilaChronicle quoted unnamed Na­tional Bureau of Investigationofficials as saying theyhave un­covered evidence of billions ofpesos (millionsofdollars) infraudwithin the state-run NationalPower Corp.

Thesourcesestimatedthefraudhad cost the company 15 billionpesos(dlrs 25million) in thelastfiveyears, mostofitinthetheftofbunker fuelfor generators.

In addition, thenewspaper saida syndicate withinthepowercor­poration had beenstealing spare.partsandfaking delivery reports,over-pricing equipment pur­chases, and rigging bidding fornewconstruction.

"Thebillionsoflosses sustainedbyNAPOCOR through thisscamis staggering, but what is morestaggering is the billions morelostinbusiness opportunities dueto the power crisis because ofthis," the newspaper quoted anunidentifIed investigator as say­ing.

There was no comment fromthe power corporation. Lastmonth, four corporation employ­e-es were arrested for allegedlystealinggeneratorfuel. Thepowercrisis followed a 1986 decisionbythenPresidentCorazonAquinoto mothball a 620-megawattnuclear plant because of safetyconcerns and allegations thatWestinghouse Electric Corp.,bribed the late PresidentFerdinandMarcos towinthecon­tract.

Mrs. Aquino then failed tocomplete anynewmajorplants tomake up for the loss of powerfromthenuclear facility.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) ­President Subarto said Tuesdayindustrialized nations willnotre­solvehuman rights problems byusing economic pressure on de­veloping nations.

AnAmnesty International offi­cialtoldthesameconference thatthere was a "continuous patternof unlawful killings and disap­pearances" in Indonesia's north­ernprovince of Acehandin EastTimor, a Portuguese colony an­nexedby Indonesia in 1976.

Indonesian troops killed doz­ens of East Timorese pro-inde­pendence protesters on Nov. 12,1991. Agovernmentcommissionconcluded that at least 50 were

international responsibilities andthe United States must accordJapana greater decision-makingrole,"it said.

In trade relations, it suggestedresisting domestic pressures forprotection of American industrywhile remaining prepared to re­taliate selectively ifJapanrefusesto openits markets, particularlyto UShigh-technology products.

On China the report said USpolicy "shouldbe oneof contin­uedengagement inways designedto support Chinese economic andpolitical liberalization ...workingwith Beijing, where appropriateand firmly opposing it wherenecessary."

It urged that insteadof threat­eningtowithdraw preferred tradestatus to punish human rightsabuses, the UnitedStatesshouldfollow "a targeted approach thatlinksspecific sanctions tospecificChinese actions or polices thathave broad international disap­proval."
