SUV crash tests show poor overall ratings
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the 1997 Nissan Pathfinder and 1996 Mitsubishi Montero, along with six other midsize sport utility vehicles, did not earn a good overall safety rating in front end crash tests. Only four earned acceptable, two marginal, and two poor ratings. Analysts advised considering only those rated acceptable, including the Montero, Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Land Rover Discovery, and Toyota 4-Runner.

The measure would require more U S narcotics agents in Mexico and allows cross border enforcement and extraditions. President Clinton backed Mexico and warned the move could hinder cooperation in fighting drug trafficking. Mexico's Foreign Ministry denounced the vote as harmful to international cooperation.
