"It's going to be very difficult for us," House Republican Leader Bob Michel of Illinois said today. But White House Chief of Staff John Sununu said President Bush would lobby hard and, "I think in the long run it will be supported by a majority of Republicans." "It's a tough sale," said Rep. one of many Tom Tauke, lawmakers who was troubled by what he was hearing of the package Sunday. Democrats, too, were expected to swallow hard before agreeing to raising Medicare premiums while cutting the benefits, increasing tax es on gasoline, alcohol and cigarettes, and trimming everything from defense to student loans. And despite a claimed $500 billion in deficit reduction, it would stretch out the goal of a balanced budget and let the national debt increase another $1 trillion. The $40 billion in deficit reduction for the fiscal year beginning today would still leave a record annual deficit of $254 billion.

The meeting was broadcast to chapels and stake centers around the world and translated into numerous languages. A choir from the Provo, Utah Region provided the music. Leaders of the General Primary, Young Womens and Relief Society organizations also talked. The teen years "have become increasingly more difficult," Monimmoson said. "Permissiveness, rality, pornography and the power of peer pressure cause many to be tossed about on a sea of sin and crushed on the jagged reefs of lost opportunities, forfeited blessings and shattered dreams." He then summarized several points from a new booklet titled ' For the Strength of Youth," which will be available soon. He remindchurch ed teens of a admonition not to date until age 16 and urged dating teens to do so in long-standi- groups or on double dates. "Because dating is a preparation for marriage, date only those who have high standards." He told teens to dress modestly and "remember the old rule: If in doubt, don't." He encouraged friendshipping, honesty, the use of clean language, viewing good movies and television programs and reading good books and magazines.

The Hawaii program, called the Challenger Foundation 5, is different from the Utah program, which is dubbed Challenger Foundation II. Cartisano said.

Because of the delays in enacting the fiscal 1991 budget the new (See BUDGET, Page A2) LDS leadership must be held liable "for these crimes of abuse and destruction." But, at the same time, Bush edged perceptibly closer to Saddam's demand that his territorial dispute with Kuwait be linked to the Arabs' grievance with Israel for holding on to territory Syria and Jordan lost in the 1967 Mideast war. A similar gesture last week by President Francois Mitterrand of France drew a mixed response Sunday from Saddam, who suggested that Iraq would fight to defend its seizure of Kuwait but also offered to open a 'debate" with France on the region's future. "We intend to make contacts with the French government to explain after inquiry, questioning and dialogue our views accurately so that everything is based on clear ideas and actions," the Iraqi leader said in a broadcast message on the birthday of the Muslim prophet Mohammed. propos-(Se- e Mitterrand, in a four-ste- p BUSH, Page AZ) court to review decisions sentencing - furnaces will replace Gene-an- d va's eight open hearths and are expect-t- o - vehicles.
