House approves sweeping China sanctions over crackdown
The House voted 418 to 0 for a new sanctions package targeting China, extending beyond current Bush administration steps by suspending trade and development programs, banning police equipment sales, and tightening transfer controls. The measure accompanies a two year foreign aid bill and challenges presidential flexibility noted by the administration. Secretary Baker previously warned human rights alone should not drive policy.

Jaruzelski Signals End of Communist Party Monopoly in Poland
Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski tells the AP that Poland will shed the Communist Party’s automatic leading role and will not return to a past monopoly. He praises Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and says Poland seeks friendly American support, not charity, during President Bush’s July visit. He will weigh the opposition’s stance before potentially accepting the new office of president. Solidarity lawmakers, minority in the assembly, oppose his nomination if it occurs.

Marcos loses transplanted kidney in critical surgery
Former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, in very critical condition and semi comatose, had a transplanted kidney removed at St. Francis Medical Center after a hour long operation. Doctors said he remained dependent on dialysis and could survive indefinitely with machine support, though prognosis was poor due to possible infection from rejection of the donor kidney received in 1984.

Bush urges passage of flag amendment
President Bush campaigns to amend the Constitution to ban flag desecration citing a recent Supreme Court ruling. House Republican leader Robert Michel and Democrats Alan Dixon and Sonny Montgomery co sponsor the measure as party leaders pledge action this summer.
