Four men are indicted on five counts for conspiring to ship weapons including a Stinger missile to Northern Ireland in violation of the Neutrality Act and the Arms Export Control Act.

United Mine Workers marked its 100th anniversary with threats of more civil disobedience and wildcat strikes at Rum Creek Coal Sales Inc protected by federal marshals. Two UMW members were arrested on assault charges and a third faced a court order violation while about 75 union supporters gathered on a makeshift bridge to the preparation plant. Bethel Purkey and Roger Nelson forecast more miners joining the action.
Milwaukee mayor John Norquist vetoed a city run gun buy back plan approved by the Common Council last week. The two month pilot faced criticism over lack of crime linkage checks and safe transport rules for surrendered firearms. Project Respect would have run the effort with police liaison and a $50 per gun payout, funded by federal and local sources.
The plan, still subject to congressional approval, redefines the 1990 budget as 9.5 billion and outlines high intensity drug trafficking areas with a revised funding mix. It envisions a $1.2 billion Pentagon anti drug budget, a new multi agency intelligence center, and targeted infusions to New York Miami Los Angeles and Houston areas plus border regions, with expanded prison treatment and enhanced customs drug investigations.
Beijing denounces the 390 to 25 override of President Bush's veto as anti China. Foreign Ministry says the bill harms Sino US relations and erodes educational exchanges. The measure could affect about 32 000 students including dissidents like Pei Min Xin who warns of life imprisonment if forced to return.
In a high stakes partisan clash, House votes 390 25 to override Bush veto of a bill shielding Chinese students from deportation and harassment. The Senate faces a two thirds requirement as Bush and aides lobby wavering Republicans to uphold the veto amid concerns about Beijing regime. The measure would aid up to 40 000 students, allow visa extensions and work, and test party loyalty in Washington.
