"The other side has refused to talk about the embargo." Alarcon told the Times the United States should admit, perhaps for one year, all Cubans who want to emigrate to the United States. About 134.000 Cubans applied for visas last year. The talks began Thursday.

In several districts, Democrats could suffer this year for Clinton's success in 1992, when the presidential race helped some Democrats gain narrow victories in newly drawn districts with GOP leanings. Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan fits that description, as does freshman Rep. Jane Harman and a few other Democrats in California. Also, many of the Democrats who decided not to seek this year had used their local popularity and advantages to hold seats in districts that had become more and more Republi Six-ter- proposals and may not pass any health reform this year.

With Clinton in the White House and Democrats controlling Congress, labor leaders had hoped to reverse the series of defeats they suffered under Presidents Reagan and Bush. They have fared better, but the highly visible losses have left some questioning whether unions are losing their clout. chal-- " Not too far south of here, freshman Democratic Rep.
