"It'll probably be a signal that the race is on. He'll probably bring out his campaign agenda for '96, be my guess," said Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the front-runnfor the GOP nomination to replace Clinton in the White House. "I assume he'll put the best spin on it he can," said Dole, who will deliver the official Republican response to the address.

Crews stemmed the flow of heating oil from a ruptured barge as officials began to measure the economic and ecological consequences of the state's largest oil spill. Damage to Rhode Island's marine industries is expected to run into the tens of millions of dollars, said Timothy Keeney, director of the state Department of Environmental Management. Salvage crews pumped 1.8 million gallons from the North Cape on Sunday and Monday, leaving 1.4 million gallons in undamaged compartments in the barge. Some of that oil, between 200,000 and 500,000 gallons, will be pumped out today to lighten the vessel so it will float when crews believe it is safe enough to tow out to sea. That might not happen right away, though. Coast Guard Capt. Barney Turlo said winds are expected to increase throughout the day, and if conditions become too rough, salvage crews will pump water into the barge to secure it in the sand and ride out the rough weather.

"The state of the union is strong, but it can be stronger." But that may not be what Republicans are ready to hear.

The spill, the biggest in Rhode Island history, stretched for 12 miles. Some of it was cleaned up vessels, and by Steve Lehmann of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated that less than 100,000 gallons remained in the coastal waters. Shellfish beds remained closed near the spill, and fishing was banned in a area. Thousands of dead lobsters, clams and starfish washed up on shore and dozens of oily birds struggled out of the ocean. Volunteers worked to save birds. Though fewer than 200 birds were confirmed dead or sick, officials expected that number to rise. of Health Department offiErnest said Julian spokesman cers were patrolling banned areas and inspecting seafood being brought to the state's fish processors to make sure it was not contaminated.
