ment.The United States offered to

provide 25,000 troops for theevacuation plan.

France and Britain are also ex­pected to be major contributors ­partly by switching the approxi­mately 7,000 troops they alreadyhave in Bosnia from U.N. toNATO command.

Germany has offered Tornadoground attack planes and 2,000backup troops, including medicalunits.

Most other allies have also saidthey will send troops.

Now that Serbs have seizedmore than 300 peacekeepers ashuman shields and increased at­tacks on others, the deadline for aNATO decision is looming.

"This situation is completelyunacceptable and it can' tcontinuelike this," Foreign Minister Hervede Charette of France said Friday."We will study all options, in­cluding that of withdrawal."

Much of Plan 40,401, as theevacuation project is known atNATO military headquarters, issecret. But some details have fil­tered out.

The operation, which plannersbelieve could last up to threemonths, will likely becode-named"Determined Effort."

NATO insists the alliance willhave sole command, in contrastto the current system requiring aU.N. request for NATO air strikesin Bosnia. .

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) ­NATO is refining contingencyplans to send up to 40,000 troops,backed by tanks, warships and 'airpower, to rescue U.N. peacekeep­ers if theyareoverwhelmed by theconflict in Bosnia.

A full-scale evacuation wouldbe the biggest military operationin the 46-year history of NorthAtlantic Treaty Organization andwould almost certainly involveNATOtroops directly in the fight­ing.

Short of a complete pullout,NATO's plans also include pin­point missions by rapid reactionunits to withdraw the most vul­nerable U.N. units.

NATO officials insist they stillwant the 20.000 U.N. troops tostay in Bosnia and continue tryingto protect civilians and aid sup­plies.

But they say the contingencyplan is necessary insurance in theevent of renewed full-scale com­bat, which could make the UnitedNations' peacekeeping role un­tenable.

Allied military planners wererevising their strategies even be­foretheSerbsstarted taking peace­keepers hostage Thursday in re­taliation for NATO air strikes.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

Lott strangely silent about WhitewaterWASHINGTON-Sen. Trent Lott' s, R-Miss., silence on the Whitewater scandalis a caseof the Republican attack dog that didn't bark.

Like the Sherlock Homes story "Silver Blaze," what Lott hasn't said speaks volumes.In this case, Lott is the lone member of the GOP leadership to be tongue-tied onWhitewater. The senator who once served as designated dirt-digger on the Clintonadministration told us he "understands" the president's predicament.

Lott's transformationfrom pit bull to pussycat, .atleast in terms of Whitewater, seemsrelated to some skeletons rattling around in his own closet.

As we reportedrecently, in 1984Lott pressured NASA officials to award a governmentcontract to a company owned by a political friend named Isadore Hyde. Then Hyde putLott's 7 I -year-oldmotheron the company's payroll with acompany car and lenienthours.According tograndjury testimony, Hyde said he had put Mrs. Lott on the payroll because"she couldopendoors that would notbe opened otherwise, and that shewas his connectionto Washingtonas she could talk to (then) Congressman Lott when (Hyde) could not reachthe Congressman."

NASA investigators also uncovered that Hyde and his wife billed NASA for $186,000worth of unallowable expenses they diverted for personal use. Last year the Hydes weresentenced to prison for conspiracy to defraud the government.

NASA investigator John Batson told our associate Ed Henry that whenhe startedpursuing allegations that the Hydes also used NASA resources to do political work forLott, NASA Inspector General Bill Colvin abruptly pulled the plug. Whether Colvinprotected Lott is one of the questions now under investigation by a special unit of theGeneral Accounting Office;

"It's not bydesign because of (the Hyde allegations)" that he's been quiet, Lott insisted."It's just that I haven't had a role to play or a knowledge from which to comment (aboutWhitewater)."

That has never dissuaded Lott from scandal-mongering in the past. He hounded RonBrown when he was appointed to be Secretary of Commerce, saying that Brown's pastlobbyingactivities "perhaps send the wrong message." After Lott decided that Brownhadfinally resolved some potential conflicts-of-interest, he declared that Brown had "helpedremove a cloud that might have been hovering over" him. And when Janet Reno wasnominated to be Attorney General, Lott aides complained that they didn't have enoughresources to investigate all of the dirt they had collected on Reno.

Duringthepresidentialcampaign, Lott lashed away at Clinton over hisdraft status:"BillClintonwill notcome clean with what's really involved here. Did he try to avoid it? Whatis this reserve thing?... What was the word he used about the draft in that letter? The mostunbelievable thing I've ever seen, that letter he wrote."

Lott told us he now empathizes with President Clinton's plight-and compared theattacks on the First Family to the aspersions made on his mother, lona.

"She's 80 years old (now) and I really feel like there have been a lot of efforts to try toget at me through my 80-year-old mother and I don't think that's very good," said Lott.In addition, Lott likened his own situation to Bill Clinton's defense of Hillary RodhamClinton.

"You know,he did thatduring thecampaign whenJerry Brown raised allegationsaboutWhitewater,"he said. "I remember that President Clinton got pretty aroused about it, andI think he pretty well defanged the issue. You can understand why somebody wouldgetaroused about that.

Thishardly sounds like the same Lott who once said this about President-elect Clinton:"When Clinton does right, you commend him. When he does bad, you bash his brainsout-and nobodycan charge disloyalty." Thenjust days after Clinton's inauguration,Lottadded: "I think the honeymoon is over. I think a week is long enough, anyway."

When we pressed Lott on specific details about his relationship with Hyde, he invoked.Clinton to explain memory lapses. "Again, it's like Clinton," Lott said. "All of this was15years ago. A lot of the questions that are involved with (Clinton) date back to 1978or1979. You're asking me about things that happened 11,12, or 13 years ago. I don't evenknow how long ago it was." .

Lett's low-keyapproach to Whitewater,however, may be part facade.GOPsourcestoldus Lott is cheerleading the Whitewater investigation from inside the cloakroom. "Lott'sbeen encouraging us," explains one Republican lawmaker.

At the same time, it found thatthose who welcome Chinese ruleare outnumbered by those whowould like Hong Kong to remainBritish.

But despite the apparent mis­givings, nearly three-quarterswere confident about HongKong's post-1997 future, said thepoll of 600 people published inthe South China Morning Post.

Only 26.9 percent said HongKong was better off with thepresent governor, Chris Patten, incharge, while 13.3percent said heshould be replaced with a newgovernor, it said.

It said 48 percent thought acouncil of Hong Kong peopleshould run the colony without aBritish governor until r997.

Grant said he is also supportingan idea to establish a facility fortheCNMI' s substanceabusetreat­ment program separate from thehospital.

Clients should feelcomfortableto go for treatment at the centerwithout fear thatother people mayknow they are drug addicted toalcohol or drugs.

The substance abuse rehabili­tation program center is locatedatthe Commonwealth Health Cen­ter building.

Grant said during his visit here,he will be reviewing threeaspectsof treatment services and deliv­ery such as clinical, fiscal andmanagement.

He will be collecting some in­formation and reviewing somefinancial record for the blockgrant.

The US Center for SubstanceAbuse Treatment has been pro­viding an annual $186,000 BlockGrant to the CNMI for the im­provement of services delivery inthe alcohol and drug abuse field.

MOSCOW (AP) - Is Russia'sgold rush over? .

Not quite, but it's slowingdown.

When the Communist em­pire began crumbling, therewere' a handful of sure-fireways to get rich: Raw materi­als, real estate, banking andcnme.

Good connections were es­sential for the first three.

With a license to export rawmaterials, you could buy any­thing from oil and natural gasto diamonds and gold at lowdomestic prices and sell for abig profit at world prices.

Money had a similar dy­namic. Borrow it cheap fromthe Central Bank, lend it high.

When private propertymade its debut, knowing theright bureaucrat made it pos­sible to snap up propertycheaply, then sell at immenseprofits.

Crime had deeper roots. TheSoviet economy did not work; theblack market did. Whenperestroika came in the 1980s,the parallel economy had a headstart oncapitalism. Endeavors thatwere once illegal became boom­ing, legitimate businesses.

More traditional varieties ofcrime have flourished: guns,drugs, prostitution, fraud, moneylaundering, theft, murder-for-hire,protection rackets, loan sharking.

There was another way to getrich thatdidnotoften require muchtalent or imagination: If you ranone of the few state enterprisesthat was actually profitable andmanaged to grab a big enoughhunk when it went private, youcould become a millionaire over­night.
