Only designated centers would be eligible for reimbursement under criteria and the Utah program would be proposed by the HFCA in excluded because it doesnt meet some of the announced requirements. The Utah program includes University, LDS and Veterans Administration hospitals, where physicians assess patients and set treatment priorities based on the severity of the patientt condition and the best match for available hearts. Officials say without the sanction of the HCFA, which finances health care for the elderly and disabled, the number of private insurers which authorize transplants in the centers would be reduced. The Utah program has one of the highest success rates in the country, with only two deaths recorded from 58 surgeries over a year and a half, said John Dwan, spokesman for the University of Utah Health Science Center. The Utah programs outstanding survival record is one argument against the HCFA criteria, Dwan said. The Utah group argued that HCFAs proposed average survival rates of 73 percent at one year and 65 percent after two years are too low to promote quality in the programs to be designated.

The book said word of an approaching army came to Mormon settlers Viho were assembled in Big Cottonwood Canyon on Pioneer Day (July 24) in 1857. News was brought by Abraham O. Smoot, Judson Stoddard and Orrin Porter Rockwell, who had seen the army gathering near the Missouri River and returned to Utah to warn the settlers. According to the book, territorial governor Brigham Young declared martial law and called out a Mormon military organization known as the Nauvoo Legion. Since settlers apparently thought that, if the army led by Col. Albert Sidney Johnston did come, it would likely enter the Wasatch Front valley through Echo Canyon, a Mormon mil- . . . itary presence was established there. But the book claimed, It was also deemed necessary to keep a lookout in Provo Canyon for the approaching army, and a detail of ten men was assigned to duty there...

The military has to gain the confidence of the people, he added in an interview on NBCs Meet the Press. He also expressed support for Mrs. Aquinos actions during the .recent test of her authority, and said the United States must leave her to call the shots. I dont think we ought to impose our own solutions on Mrs. Aquino. Lugar said the resignations of the Philippine Cabinet members gives Mrs. Aquino a chance to start fresh to build a stronger government. If WANTED top prices paid B.U.
