aters of World War 11.McNamara said he became
deeply involved inVietnampolicysoon after he becamedefense secretary in 1961, one of the'WhiteHouse aides whom Kennedycalled "the best and the brightest"of their generation. .
The fighting in Indochinaescalated, and McNamara remaineddefense secretary when Johnsonbecame presidentafterKennedy'sassassination in 1963.McNamarawrites that Johnson asked him tobe his vice-presidential nomineein 1964 but he declined, citinghislack of political experience.
In 1967, McNamara privatelyurged Johnson to seek a diplomatic solution to the VietnamWar, but Johnson and other aidesrejected the suggestion.
He said he regrets not havingpushed Johnson harder and earlier toconsider anegotiatedsettlement to the war. But the stand hedid take left him and Johnson "atloggerheads," he writes, and thedifferences couldn't be bridged.
In early 1968, McNamarastepped down as defense secretary to become president of theWorld Bank. He said he laterlearned that Johnson arranged toget him the job.
McNamara writes thathe stilldoesn't know "whether I quit orWas fired," but he denied reportsthat he was nearing physical andemotional collapse.
He told the AP that he didn'tpublicly criticize the war whilestill defense secretary because"that would be totally contrary tomy responsibilities to the president,under theConstitution."Andhe said he wasn't permitted todiscuss national politics duringhis 13years as World Bankpresident.
Mcblarnara writes that he isadmitting blame publicly nowbecause "I have grown sick atheart witnessing thecynicismandeven contempt with which somany people view our politicalinstitutions and leaders." Heblamed that cynicism onVietnamand Watergate and other'scandals.

AccordingtoMcNamara,NorthVietnam made "a very specificpeace offer" in 1966 but withdrew it after the United Stateswent ahead with bombing raidsthat had been delayed by badweather. Johnson feared that rescheduling the raids "would beinterpreted as weakness,"McNamara wrote.
McNamara told the AP that heand Henry Kissinger, then aHarvard professor, came close tosetting up U.S.-North Vie

He denied that he and Johnsonprevented the military from fighting the war with all its resources.He noted that the United Statesdropped far more bombs onIndochina than it did in all the-

NEW YORK (AP) - As defensesecretary for two U.S. presidents- one ofJohn F. Kennedy's "bestand brightest" _ RobertMcNamara- helped draw theUnitedStatesdeeply into the Vietnam War.
Now he admits: "We were terribly wrong."
With the upcoming release ofhismemoirs, McNamaraisbreaking his quarter-century public silence on the war that left 58,000Americans dead and bitterly divided the country - a conflict, henotes ruefully, that some called"McNamara's War."
The memoirs of etherofficials,alongwithdeclassifieddocumentsand other reports, have describedhow dissension grew in theJohnson White House over Vietnam policy as the war worsened.

Meanwhile, in declaring thetourism week, Tenorio said theindustry is extremely importantto the CNMl, contributing to employment, economic prosperity,and international trade and understanding.
"Each of us benefits from theeffects of tourism; it is substantially enhances our personalgrowth and education," according to the governor. "Tourismalsopromotes inter-cultural understanding and appreciation of thegeography, history and people ofthe Commonwealth."
The chief executive added thatas people throughout the worldbecome more aware of the cultural and recreational resourcesavailable in the CNMI, tourismcan be expected to play an evengreater role in the lives of thepeople of the ·Commonwealth.

RP probes int'llinks to Ipil raidBy ROBERT H. REID
MANILA, Philippines (AP) The Philippine government nowconsiders a Muslim group oncedismissed as youthful banditsto be linked to an internationalterror network including Afghanfighters and the blind sheik ontrial for the 1993 World TradeCenter bombing.
The Abu Sayyaf group isblamed for last Tuesday's raidon the southern Christian -townofIpil, in which 53 people werekilled. Troops have fanned outacross rugged, jungle mountainssearching for the gunmen.
On Saturday, President FidelRamos claimed the governmenthad established a "definite connecrion" between Abu Sayyafand "international terroristgroups" seeking to foment religiousconflict on.a global scale.. Interior Secretary Rafael
Alunan said Abu Sayyaf hadbecome the Philippine chapterof "Harakat al-Islamiya," or "IsJamie Movement." He said thegroup was founded recently inLibya and was believed to have.branches in Egypt and.Pakistan.
The name has not surfacedelsewhere, and security sourcesinIsrael said they were unawareof such an organization.Nevertheless; the government'sassessment represents a substantial shift in its view of AbuSayyaf, founded in the early1990s by a Libyan-educatedteacher, Aburajak AbubakarJanjalani.
Abu Sayyaf, or "Father of theExecutioner" in Arabic, hadbeen accused of scores of at-.tacks on Christians in the southern Philippines,· includingbombings, kidnappings andmurder.
They were dismissed as nomore than 100 impressionableyouths driven to crimeby poverty.
Now Alunan believes Abu :Sayyafhas about 500 core members and receives help fromother armed Islamic groupswhich broke from the MoraNational Liberation Front,which is holding talks with thegovernment to end the 25-yearMuslim insurgency.

DOLE then issued an order lastMarch 31 adopting the recommendation of the team and suspending the deployment of newhires belonging to such categories.
Tomokane said although shehas not received official complaints from hotels and other establishments as a result of theban, the industry somehow "getsaffected."

Whenever there is any globalcrisis arises, she added, CNMI iseasily affected with respect to thesupplyof vegetables fromtheship.
Although there was a certaincountry being tossed up as possible recruitment site for workers,Tomokane emphasized thatskilled Filipino workers are better because they can understandand speak English.
She said Filipinos, who havesimilar culture with the localpeople, are already part of theCommonwealth' sgrowth becausehave been here for so many years.
Rep. Pete P. Reyes earlier saidthe agriculture and tourism sectors get hurt with the ban on farmers and nightime entertainmentworkers.
Reyes also blamed GovernorFroilan Tenorio for the ban, saying the whole thing started whenthe governor invited the Philippine government into imposingsuch move.
Philippine Senator RamonRevilla, who recently visited tosee for himself the labor situation.in the Commonwealth, said hewould ask Ramos to seek possible reconsideration of the ban.
Revilla said his rounds onTinian, Rota and Saipan, interviewing hundreds of Filipinoworkers, led him to believeFilipino workers are satisfied withtheir jobs. He said there are. nosigns of widespread of abuse aswhat has been reported by themedia.

Salem said the group he infiltrated assassinated extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane andbombed the World Trade Center on Feb. 26, 1993, killingsix people and injuring morethan 1,000 others.
He told the FBI eight monthsbefore the bombing that thegroup was planning to buildbombs, but he said he stoppedhelping the FBI because theagency wanted him to drophis anonymity and testify.
After the trade center blast,he rushed to the FBI, fearinghe was a suspect. He agreed totape record suspects and totestify - even if it meant telling the truth.

By LARRY NEUMEISTERNEW YORK (AP) • For sixyears, the government's starwitness in the terrorism trialwas a world class liar. EmadSalem lied to FBI agents, tohis wife, to his doctors, to anyone who crossed his path as hetried to make it in America.
Now, Salem said, he isashamed of his lies, except forthose he told Sheik OmarAbdel-Rahman and his allegedfollowers to convince the extremists that he, too, wantedto build bombs.
Salem said most of the lieshe now regrets were designedto ease his transition from hisnative Egypt, where he was aproud military officer, to theUnited States, where he hadtrouble even finding a job.
He has tried to reconstructhis life for five weeks at thetrial of the sheik, allegedleader of a mammoth terrorism plot, and 10 other defendants. He said he had one truegoal, saving America from terrorist attacks.
"These people got to cometo justice. That was my roleand my job, ma'am," thestone-faced informant said,explaining the work he did forthe FBI under the code name"Dallas."
Salem was a bearded informant from August 1991 untilJune 1993. Now, at 45, he isclean-shaven and balding. Hissquare, stocky frame seems inert, even when he stands tomimic how a defendantdemonstrated shooting a gun.

Islamic activists in Sohag attribute their restraint to Ahmed..ho is quick to smile and enjoysikes with an Islamic tint.He says his message has been
peaceful ever since he helpedfound the Islamic Group in 197"+,and he swore he and his followerswould stay non-violent.
Islam "says there should be 11\
bloodletting," said HosniMahmoud. who is Ahmed'sdeputy. "This violence will onlybenefit those who are the enemiesof Islam."
Only a few police cars areparked near major buildings inSohag, about 240 miles (385 krn)south of Cairo. Farther north inMinya, meanwhile, armored vc
hicles protect police stations, soldiers man pillboxcs and barricadesblock roads.
Rather than toting rifles.Ahmed's followers sell honey andsesame paste at the Ansar al-Sunnamosque, where Ahmed preaches.They hold government jobs Ahmed himself is an electricalengineer at the government powerplant in Sohag.
Most militants deem wl),.rkillgfor the government sinful.

By MAE GHALWASHSOHAG, Egypt (AP) - His appearance puts him in the legionsof Egypt's Muslim militants:scraggly beard, long. traditionalrobe. His aides check identitycards before meetings with strangers. Female guests must don aveil.
But Sheik Salah Ahmed, one ofthe founders of Egypt' s most radical Muslim group, al-Gamaa alIslarniyya, preaches a messagedistinct from militant leaders. Hewants an end to the turcc-ycar warbetween the government and themilitants who want to throw outEgypt's secular system.
An Islamic state is best broughtabout peacefully. Ahmed says.He describes his program as oneof "dialogue and shunning violence. We call for both."
Intellectuals and former gO\'ernment officialshave echoed hiscall for an end to the violence. Itmay offer Egypt a way out of abitter conflict that has killed morethan 670 people, tarnished itsreputation and sapped crucial tourist dollars.

By TIM DAHLBERGLAS VEGAS (AP) - Julio CesarChavez moved closer to his goal of100 fightsSaturdaynight by beatinga boxer who barely put up a fight.
Chavez chased Italy's GiovanniParisi for 12 rounds, winninga lopsided decision to retain his WBCsuper lightweight title over a challenger who seemed more interestedin survivingthan winning.
It was the96th fight forChavez ina pro career that stretches back 15years,butParisi madesureitwouldn'tbethe most memorable..
Parisi waiteduntilthe II throundtotry and mix it up with the Mexicanchampion,tradinga flurry after raising his arms to mock Chavez. Bythen, however. Parisiwould have tohave knockedout Chavez to win thebout.
"All he did was run, run, run,"Chavez complained.
The fight W,LS so lopsided thatjudge Terry Smith gave Chavez every round, 120-107. Judges LouFilippo and Carol Castellm;o had it118-109. TIle Associated Press hadChavez winning I 19-108.
