The provision, part of a $17.2-billion appropriation for the State, Justice and Commerce departments, contains no money for the estimated 60,000 camp survivors, but states up to $500 million will be Provided as an *‘entitlement”’ in 1991 Congress has authorized $20,000 for each survivor, a total of $1.2 billion Also included was a ban on smoking on virtually all domestic airline flights, an expansion of current rules forbid- ding passengers from lighting up on routes lasting two hours or less.

That's $1.1 billion less than Bush requested for the fiscal year 1990, the first. budget reduction in the program in its six-year history Bush said he was disappointed by the cut and expressed hope Congress would support the administration’s future requests. The measure provides $4.3 billion for two B-2 stealth bombers Approximately $1.1 billion is in cluded for the 10-warhead, rail-based Tories hit bi dip in popularity CP News An BY JIMCOYLE OTTAWA (CP) — A year ago Tuesday, as he took a bow in a smoky Baie-Comeau arena after winning his second majority government, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney called it “a genuinely humbling experience. Just as well the triumph — taken as a mandate for free trade and toasted with a chorus of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling — didn’t go tohis head In its snakes-and-ladders relationship with Canadians, Mulroney’s government hit a big dip over the last 365 days, The first anniversary of his success ina bitterly divisive campaign is apparently not one voters are celebrating Last Nov. 21, Mulroney promised unity and prosperity, and pledged a government both caring and competent, a society competitive and compassionate But a poll earlier this month suggested only one in four Canadians liked the way Mulroney has conducted the country’s business. Sixty-nine per cent disapproved. ANALYSIS Mulroney acknowledges his agenda is unpopular and seems intent on getting the bad news out early in the second mandate to leave voters enough time to forget There will be plenty to forget: tax turmoil, con stitutional crisis, broken promises, regional rifts and senatorial skirmishes NEW FOES Fresh opposition leaders will be at his throat before the next anniversary and economic thunderheads loom even though inflation has climbed only slowly and unemployment has fallen Other than prompt passage of the free-trade legislation — the impact of which it has yet to document the Conservative government has few legislative ac: complishments to date The Meech Lake constitutional accord and the proposed goods and services tax have dominated debate. Both are stoutly backed by the government, both widely disliked by the public The Tories have focused on chopping the $320. billion national debt and trying to rein in the $30-billion annual deficit Planned cuts to Via Rail service in January have Prompted unheeded howls from mayors, premiers and out-of-luck passengers alike. The planned closure of armed forces bases has angered military-dependent communities across Canada Abortion legislation has been presented that managed to outrage both sides. A promised national child-care program has been shelved Despite 1988 campaign promises that social benefits would be “improved, not diminished, Mulroney’s government has axed its unemployment in- UNPOPULAR . ..

Auditor General Ken Dye has said the government's refusal to release ministerial travel details is arrogant in the extreme Pollster Angus Reid said ‘‘any way you look at it, Mr. Mulroney is in bad shape.”* But the prime minister, Reid acknowledged, is three years from his next date with the voters. And Mulroney — who took 43 per cent of the vote and 169 seats last November after falling into the mid. 20s in polls 14 months earlier — has found rabbits in his hat before. (S Broadbent says dump legislation OTTAWA (CP) — New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent has urged MPs to dump the government's proposed abortion legislation because it doesn’t give women the right to choose whether to end their pregnancy “It isnot for the state to legislate one answer for everyone,” Broadbent told the Commons. “This bill must be defeated.” The bill amends the Criminal Code to allow a woman to have an abortion at any point in her pregnancy if one doctor agrees her physical, mental or psychological health is threatened Broadbent, speaking in the third day of debate on the bill, criticized it for failing to guarantee women equal ac cess to abortions no matter where they live in Canada Abortions are often difficult to get in rural areas and none are performed in Prince Edward Island “The bill we have before us does nothing to change that,"’ said Broad bent Santa says it’s present position CMA designation Accounting Technologist Quality for a better accounting position by taking the Accounting Technologist Program developed by the Society of Management Accountants to satisty a need for accounting para-professionals in the work force.
