According toManglona, althoughfunding iscurrently thecentral issueof the referral problem, theprogram's policy needstobeclarified and addressed.
"We need to come up with aclear policy on who mayor maynot receive medical referrals. 1.know there is a committee determining this but I think there is nospecific policy," said Manglona.
But the bottomline, accordingto the senator, is that the programcannot stop even temporarily asthere are a lot of people who really need medical referrals.

THE LEADERSHIP of bothhouses of Legislature has formedajoint special committee to studythe current problems pertainingto the medical referral programand come up with possible solutions.
In a memorandum issued byHouse Speaker Diego T.Benavente and Senate PresidentJuan S. Demapan Thursday, both
. housestasked four members fromeach house to review the referralprogram policy and report findings and recommendations byJune 7th~
"We look forward to receivingyour report," said Benavente andDemapan in their joint memo.
"The joint committee may callpublic hearings, review recordsanddocuments andtake other necessary action to ascertain the extent of the problems with the referralprogram," said the two presiding officers of Legislature.
Thejoint panel was formed dueto the urgent situation facing thereferral program after GovernorFroilan C. Tenorio earlier thismonth ordered the programstopped due to lack of funding.
All referrals were stopped afterthe program's $2.9 million budget for fiscal year 1995 has beendepleted and has even been exceeded by some $2 million.
To be able to get the programcontinuing through the balance ofFY 1995, the governor had askedLegislature to come up with atleast$6 million inadditional funding.
But after passing a bill allowing the governor reprogram powers to use money from other programs,the governorsaid he wouldveto the bill as it does not solvethe main problem of lack ofmoney.
He said all it did was to enticehim into reprogramming moneyfromauthorized government programs into an unauthorized program.

He pointedto the recentdeclaration of a water emergency onSaipanasa clearexampleof howbasic infrastructure is still missing in the-Commonwealth. TheCNMI Legislature appropriated$34 million of federal and localCovenantfunds inJanuaryto payfor water improvements. Earlythis month, the federal government received the first funding requests from theCNMI Administration. The projects, six waterlinescosting $6 million, were approvedlast week.

In a hearing before the SenateEnergy and Natural ResourcesCommittee Babauta said Congress should accept as valid the.1992 Section 902 consultations.
Congress shouldfollowthe 902recommendations for theamountof annual.Covenant grants to theCNMI, he testified.
Ifthat agreement isfollowed, overthe next five years theCNMI wouldreceive $76 million from thefederalgovernment A local match of $98million would be required.
The Committee was hearing testimony on the Insular DevelopmentAct of 1995. The bill contains aClinton Administration proposal totake the CNMI's annual Covenantfunds andredistribute them amongAmericanSarnoa, the Virgin Islands,Guam, the CNMI, andfederal agencies. Most ofthe money would gotoAmericanSarnoaforcapitalimprovement projects.
Babauta testified that thebill andother proposals that "ignore the902process and replace it with a unilateral decision of the federalgovernment..would be wrong. Itwould be wrong because...it wouldtake away thesole method affordedtotheCNMI for formally engaginginthe decision-making of the federalgovernment"

JACK ANDERSON and MICHAEL BINSTEIN
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Gregg alters his course on health careWashington - As the Republicangovernor of New Hampshire in 1991,Judd Gregg helped devisean ingenious - and pain-free - way to balance his state's budget.
By exploiting a loophole in Medical rules, New Hampshire reaped more than $400 millionfederal matching funds on top of its regular stipend. The extra cash wasn't used to help the pooror the elderly; it helped New Hampshire close widening budget deficit without tax hikes or majorspending cuts.
Four years after legally biking Washington to balance the budget as governor, Sen. Gregg nowleads a group of lawmakers who are planning an unprecedented assault on Medicare andMedicaid. The GOP has said it plans to cut Medicare by as much as $300 billion to heIp balancethe budget by 2002. Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, would be cut by $115billion by sending the program back to the states in the form of block grants.
Gregg's flip-flop on health care - from gaming the system as a governor togutting it asa senator- is typical of a transformation among Republicans: One year after they torpedoedthe Clintonadministration's health care reforms, in part by denying the existence of a health care crisis,Gregg and others are issuing dire warnings about the future of Medicare. And one yearlater afterchampioning a patient's unlimited right to choose their doctor, Republicans are devising plansthat would steer millions of seniors into managed care plans that limit doctor choice as a meansof cost containment.
"Gregg's evolution (onhealth care) has been astounding," says one Democratic activist in NewHampshire. "He's just such an opportunist,"
If choice was the buzzword in last year's health care debate, then this year's debate is likelyto define who among us gets to choose. "If you thought (Republicans) were fighting for choicefor everyone, be informed that it's just not the case," an official of the American Association ofRetired Persons told our associate Jan Moller. "This is choice if you can pay for it."
A Gregg spokeswoman says it's ludicrous to suggest that his plan would curtail choice. UnderGregg's "Choice Care" plan, seniors would be offered a range of health insurance plans similar
. to what federal employees enjoy now. Gregg predicts it could save up to $45 biIIion over fiveyears, while Democrats says it will merely allow private insurers to skim off the healthiestMedicare beneficiaries, leaving the government to pat for the sickest and poorest.
While Gregg and the GOP may be the opportunists to some, their path is also fraught withpolitical peril. When Medicare cuts were first discussed in the GOP, congressional leadersworked closely with seniors' groups to find a plan that would draw their support - or at least keepthem neutral. Those hopes have apparently faded. At a recent briefing to Republican presssecretaries, House leader-ship staffers urged the faithful launch pre-emptive strikes against theAARP and other seniors groups by portraying them as enemies of reform and progress.
Last fall, in the heat of the health care debate, Gregg laid out his chief complaints about theClinton plan. "Choice is being taken away from ordinary citizens and given to bureaucrats inWashington who will decide what will be in their benefits package, how much will it cost, whothey can seek treatment from and what kinds of treatment they wiII be eligible to receive."
As the health care war of 1995 gets underway, Gregg is singing a new tune.LIDDY'S LUNACY - Radio talk show host G.Gordon Liddy, who owes his fame to the
felonies committed during Watergate, is under fire for suggesting that agents from the Bureauof Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms be shot in the head.
But Liddy's lunacy appears to be pre-existing condition. In January 1971, for example, Liddyinvited several associates to watcha Nazi propaganda film, featuring Adolf Hitler, at the NationalArchives. Liddy became so excited over Hitler's strutting, witnesses told us at the time, that herattled off a few impulsive remarks in German.
In his home neighborhood, Liddy once hid on a garage roof waiting for some loud youths andthen leaped down on them like Batman. While casing Sen. George McGovern's campaignheadquarters for a possible burglary in the early 1970s, Liddy whipped out a pistol and shot outa street light.
Perhaps it's time for the G-Man to check his grounding.

4-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-MONDAY-MAY 29,1995
Homage to a powerful political WarriorSad tidings of the untimely passing of House Vice Speaker Jess P. Mafnas
in a plane accident last weekend has gripped so many of us with surprise and·regret. Initially, I dismissed it as simple gossip until it finally came overMCV's evening news.
The reason that so many must have felt the loss of the late Vice Speaker isn'tso much premised on camaraderie as much as the fact that he's made adifference in the paychecks that government employees take home every twoweeks. He's done a lot in his stint both as personnel officer and lawmaker. Ifanything, he speaks his mind loud and clear and there's no two ways about it.
Perhaps the two things that really stood out prominently in the character ofthe late Vice Speaker is his "no non-sense approach to issues" and inchampioning causes he sincerely believes would help the lot of his peoplethroughout the CNMI. A gutsy politician, he'll fightanyone tooth and nail forthese causes even if it meant stepping on a few toes. He's fought for teachers,police officers, nurses, doctors and other public service employees. Regardless of the odds against him, he usually prevails because he was one leaderwho knows what peoples' issues would appeal to most average citizens.
The Public Service Recognition Week is the brain child of the late ViceSpeaker. He believes in improving the skills and effectiveness of governmentemployees through training courses and seminars. He also successfullycombined this annual event to include employees from the private sector. Andhe sincerely believes that those who've excelled in their performance must begiven their rightful dues through rewards under the Public Service Recognition program.
Mafnas had a leadership style often bordering on the abrasive and thoughhe was never carved out as a natural diplomat, what matters is the bottomline-he gets things done his way. If you persuade him to your side of thefence,youcan count on his all out support because he too isa man of his words.I've enjoyed his frankness and have benefited a lot from the many lessadversarial conversations that we've shared since 1977. Indeed, he wassincere, committed and a man of conviction. And he always researches hisstuff before he marches into private or public meetings.
I find myself with a heavy heart as I inch my way through this column fora man who also played a major role in my novitiate days as a journalist.Mafnas is the ultimate Republican who sacrificed even his personal resourcesfor the GOP and this he's done over the last three decades. And I'll neverforget that during those long dry spells of Republican-control of both sides ofthe street, he was there fighting and often fighting the odds, alone. Throughthe years, he treaded that often lonely road to get votes one at a time. He wassuccessful in his quiet bid to turn public sentiment in his favor as head of theGOP.
His run-ins with his colleagues weren't without reasons. As a veteran, heknows that this is election year and the bottom line in seeking for re-eJectionwill be premised on your performance. In more ways than one, he alsounderstands the ramifications of complacency which would only mean agradual but steady erosion of our right to self-government or wholesaling ofthe Covenant. Mafnas was not prepared to acquiesce nor chance this loss outof complacency or passivity. He's proactive and was fully committed to thenotion of accepting the consequences of a decision emanating from withinrather than be enslaved by someone else's whimsical decision.
The Vice Speaker is that quiet hero of so many who subscribe to hisleadership. He was the champion of the common man who puts in eight hoursof honest work. His straightforward demeanor may not have settled well withhispolitical foes or those who tried to make his acquaintance. But he's honestwithhis views and you can rest assured that he won't dare renege in his wordsbecause he's never practiced sanctimonious diplomacy.
Mafnas is one of the few architects of modern Marianas politics. He's beenthrough it all in superstorms, flood, tsunami warning, drought, earthquake,volcanic eruptions, etc. In other words, he was a seasoned politician and oneof the few who never lost focus of a politician's most important tool-beingable to listen to public sentiment. Perhaps this is one reason why he'soutlasted -so many ill-prepared legislators who spend two precious yearsmodeling superficial self-importance under the limelight only to run agroundon the reef sailing through rough political seas.
As an experienced political warrior, he knew the essence of leadership andthe ultimate rewards of meaningful productivity. Perhaps this is one reasonwhy he was restless with his colleagues for their ultra-sense of passivity. Inthe process, he stepped on a few toes for forcing the issue or the approval ofsome substantive measures in both houses. In passing, Vice Speaker Mafnashas made a dent in the development of these islands thrall::bllut his career inboth branches of our government. And for all that you are Mr. Vice Speaker,there's nothing greater than to have the privilege and signal honor to say"dankulo na Si Yuus Maase" for your unwavering efforts to make life betterfor us. You've left behind your permanent foot prints on the shores of theseislands. We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers and may you restin everlasting peace. Si Yuus Maase.

will stave off th'e sanctions.Many supporters of free trade
in the United States have beencritical ofthe U.S. threats.FormerU.S. Rep. Jack Kemp,
head of Empower America, aconservative political advocacygroup, termed the administration'sdemands a "desperatestrategythatshows no faith in the concept offree trade."
Despite the criticism, the administration is showing no signsof backing down. It does havestrong support from U.S.automakers and their unions, apoint critics have used against theadministration, seeing the toughrhetoric as an attempt to win bluecollar votes in next year's presidential race in key states such asMichigan and Ohio.
The administration saysAmerica's nearly $ 66 billiontradedeficit with Japan, nearly 60 percent in autos and parts, leaves nochoice but to attack what it termsa pernicious system of barriers tothe sale of U.S. products.
Japan, the United States pickedJune 20 to begin discussions - oneweek before the sanctions takeeffect.
Critics contend that the U.S.position sets a terrible precedentfor the fledgling WTO, whichcame into existence this Januaryto succeed the old General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
The new WTO was given morepower to act as a "supreme court"of worldtradecompared to the generallytoothlessGATf. Whatkindofmessagedoes it send,criticswonder,iftheUnitedStates,theworld's largest economy,chooses to act outsideof theWTO rules?
'1don't favor the use of threatsand the implementation of threatsthat are contrary to world traderules," complained Sir LeonBrittan, the 15-nation EuropeanUnion's top trade official.
Japan is hoping that this international condemnation, coupledwith grass roots pressure from themore than 2,000 American dealers who handle the targeted cars,
last week in Paris, not one countrysidedwith the US. position.
Criticssuch as German EconomicsMinisterGunterRexrodtaccusedtheadministrationofresortingto''prehistoricbehavior,"beatinghis chestlikea caveman to illustratehispoint
At issue is America's unilateraldeclaration that 100 percent tariffs on 13 models of Japaneseluxury cars will take effect onJune 28 if no agreement is reached.
The critics argue that is a clearviolation of the rules of the newWorldTradeOrganization, whichallows imposition of trade sanctions only if a country wins itscase before a WTO panel.
The administration says theUnited States has every right toimpose sanctions because theJapanese trade barriers it is fighting fall outside WTO rules.
The United States agreed Friday to hold "consultations" withJapan, the first step in a WTOcase, but rejected a request to starttalks immediately. In a maneuverdesigned to increase pressure on
Criticshave accusedthe administration of flouting the new globaltrade rulesitplayedsucha bigpartinwritingby threatening to imposepunitivetariffson $ 5.9 billionworthofJapanese luxwy cars unlessa deal isreached to expand American salesopportunities in Japan.
At the 25-nation meeting of the'Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development meeting
Espinola also indicated thatthere were no signs that the victims were drowned or burned.
There were unconfirmedreportsthat the ill-fated plane explodedin the air before it crashed downoff Anatahan waters.
Many rescuers have presumedHillblom dead.
Castro however, refused tocomment on it.
