deeply involved inVietnampolicysoon after he becamedefense sec­retary in 1961, one of the'WhiteHouse aides whom Kennedycalled "the best and the brightest"of their generation. .

The fighting in Indochinaesca­lated, and McNamara remaineddefense secretary when Johnsonbecame presidentafterKennedy'sassassination in 1963.McNamarawrites that Johnson asked him tobe his vice-presidential nomineein 1964 but he declined, citinghislack of political experience.

In 1967, McNamara privatelyurged Johnson to seek a diplo­matic solution to the VietnamWar, but Johnson and other aidesrejected the suggestion.

He said he regrets not havingpushed Johnson harder and ear­lier toconsider anegotiatedsettle­ment to the war. But the stand hedid take left him and Johnson "atloggerheads," he writes, and thedifferences couldn't be bridged.

In early 1968, McNamarastepped down as defense secre­tary to become president of theWorld Bank. He said he laterlearned that Johnson arranged toget him the job.

McNamara writes thathe stilldoesn't know "whether I quit orWas fired," but he denied reportsthat he was nearing physical andemotional collapse.

He told the AP that he didn'tpublicly criticize the war whilestill defense secretary because"that would be totally contrary tomy responsibilities to the presi­dent,under theConstitution."Andhe said he wasn't permitted todiscuss national politics duringhis 13years as World Bankpresi­dent.

Mcblarnara writes that he isadmitting blame publicly nowbecause "I have grown sick atheart witnessing thecynicismandeven contempt with which somany people view our politicalinstitutions and leaders." Heblamed that cynicism onVietnamand Watergate and other'scan­dals.

AccordingtoMcNamara,NorthVietnam made "a very specificpeace offer" in 1966 but with­drew it after the United Stateswent ahead with bombing raidsthat had been delayed by badweather. Johnson feared that re­scheduling the raids "would beinterpreted as weakness,"McNamara wrote.

McNamara told the AP that heand Henry Kissinger, then aHarvard professor, came close tosetting up U.S.-North Vie

NEW YORK (AP) - As defensesecretary for two U.S. presidents- one ofJohn F. Kennedy's "bestand brightest" _ RobertMcNamara- helped draw theUnitedStatesdeeply into the Viet­nam War.

Now he admits: "We were ter­ribly wrong."

With the upcoming release ofhismemoirs, McNamaraisbreak­ing his quarter-century public si­lence on the war that left 58,000Americans dead and bitterly di­vided the country - a conflict, henotes ruefully, that some called"McNamara's War."

RP probes int'llinks to Ipil raidBy ROBERT H. REID

MANILA, Philippines (AP) ­The Philippine government nowconsiders a Muslim group oncedismissed as youthful banditsto be linked to an internationalterror network including Afghanfighters and the blind sheik ontrial for the 1993 World TradeCenter bombing.

The Abu Sayyaf group isblamed for last Tuesday's raidon the southern Christian -townofIpil, in which 53 people werekilled. Troops have fanned outacross rugged, jungle mountainssearching for the gunmen.

On Saturday, President FidelRamos claimed the governmenthad established a "definite con­necrion" between Abu Sayyafand "international terroristgroups" seeking to foment reli­giousconflict on.a global scale.. Interior Secretary Rafael

Alunan said Abu Sayyaf hadbecome the Philippine chapterof "Harakat al-Islamiya," or "Is­Jamie Movement." He said thegroup was founded recently inLibya and was believed to have.branches in Egypt and.Pakistan.

The name has not surfacedelsewhere, and security sourcesinIsrael said they were unawareof such an organization.Nevertheless; the government'sassessment represents a substan­tial shift in its view of AbuSayyaf, founded in the early1990s by a Libyan-educatedteacher, Aburajak AbubakarJanjalani.

Abu Sayyaf, or "Father of theExecutioner" in Arabic, hadbeen accused of scores of at-.tacks on Christians in the south­ern Philippines,· includingbombings, kidnappings andmurder.

They were dismissed as nomore than 100 impressionableyouths driven to crimeby pov­erty.

Now Alunan believes Abu :Sayyafhas about 500 core mem­bers and receives help fromother armed Islamic groupswhich broke from the MoraNational Liberation Front,which is holding talks with thegovernment to end the 25-yearMuslim insurgency.

The DOLE mission ended witha recornmendaton of a ban on thedeployment of these three cat­egories of workers viewed to bevulnerable to abuse by employershere.

DOLE then issued an order lastMarch 31 adopting the recom­mendation of the team and sus­pending the deployment of newhires belonging to such catego­ries.

Tomokane said although shehas not received official com­plaints from hotels and other es­tablishments as a result of theban, the industry somehow "getsaffected."

On the other hand, she under­scored the importance of havingthese farmers in producing freshvegetables not only for the tour­ists but for daily consumptions aswell.

"The Filipino fanners are veryindustrious.inproducing and help­ing our farms produce vegetablesnot only for our visitors but our­selves, our daily lives," she said.

Tomokane stressed it is verydifficult to rely on the ship bring­ing in all these vegetables hereconsidering "they (vegetables)don't come in as fresh as theywould like to,"

Whenever there is any globalcrisis arises, she added, CNMI iseasily affected with respect to thesupplyof vegetables fromtheship.

Although there was a certaincountry being tossed up as pos­sible recruitment site for workers,Tomokane emphasized thatskilled Filipino workers are bet­ter because they can understandand speak English.

She said Filipinos, who havesimilar culture with the localpeople, are already part of theCommonwealth' sgrowth becausehave been here for so many years.

Rep. Pete P. Reyes earlier saidthe agriculture and tourism sec­tors get hurt with the ban on farm­ers and nightime entertainmentworkers.

Reyes also blamed GovernorFroilan Tenorio for the ban, say­ing the whole thing started whenthe governor invited the Philip­pine government into imposingsuch move.

Philippine Senator RamonRevilla, who recently visited tosee for himself the labor situation.in the Commonwealth, said hewould ask Ramos to seek pos­sible reconsideration of the ban.

Revilla said his rounds onTinian, Rota and Saipan, inter­viewing hundreds of Filipinoworkers, led him to believeFili­pino workers are satisfied withtheir jobs. He said there are. nosigns of widespread of abuse aswhat has been reported by themedia.

He told the FBI eight monthsbefore the bombing that thegroup was planning to buildbombs, but he said he stoppedhelping the FBI because theagency wanted him to drophis anonymity and testify.

After the trade center blast,he rushed to the FBI, fearinghe was a suspect. He agreed totape record suspects and totestify - even if it meant tell­ing the truth.

Now, Salem said, he isashamed of his lies, except forthose he told Sheik OmarAbdel-Rahman and his allegedfollowers to convince the ex­tremists that he, too, wantedto build bombs.

Salem said most of the lieshe now regrets were designedto ease his transition from hisnative Egypt, where he was aproud military officer, to theUnited States, where he hadtrouble even finding a job.

He has tried to reconstructhis life for five weeks at thetrial of the sheik, allegedleader of a mammoth terror­ism plot, and 10 other defen­dants. He said he had one truegoal, saving America from ter­rorist attacks.

"These people got to cometo justice. That was my roleand my job, ma'am," thestone-faced informant said,explaining the work he did forthe FBI under the code name"Dallas."

Salem was a bearded infor­mant from August 1991 untilJune 1993. Now, at 45, he isclean-shaven and balding. Hissquare, stocky frame seems in­ert, even when he stands tomimic how a defendantdem­onstrated shooting a gun.

By MAE GHALWASHSOHAG, Egypt (AP) - His ap­pearance puts him in the legionsof Egypt's Muslim militants:scraggly beard, long. traditionalrobe. His aides check identitycards before meetings with strang­ers. Female guests must don aveil.

But Sheik Salah Ahmed, one ofthe founders of Egypt' s most radi­cal Muslim group, al-Gamaa al­Islarniyya, preaches a messagedistinct from militant leaders. Hewants an end to the turcc-ycar warbetween the government and themilitants who want to throw outEgypt's secular system.

An Islamic state is best broughtabout peacefully. Ahmed says.He describes his program as oneof "dialogue and shunning vio­lence. We call for both."

Intellectuals and former gO\'­ernment officialshave echoed hiscall for an end to the violence. Itmay offer Egypt a way out of abitter conflict that has killed morethan 670 people, tarnished itsreputation and sapped crucial tour­ist dollars.

"Most of the provinces werenot violent, but the police forcedthem to be so," Ahmed. a portlyman of 41. said in an interview."If the government stopped itsviolence, it would find a goodreaction."

So far, the government has ig­nored appeals for dialogue withthe militants on grounds it wouldgive them undue credibility. Inthe past three months, securityforces have stepped up their crack­down, imposing curfews. makingmass arrests and often shootingmilitants dead in their hideouts.

Already more than 160 peoplehave died this year, almost match­ing the 183 killed in IlJlJ..+. \1ostof the bloodshed has occurred incl-Minya, a picturesque region ofsugar cane and palm trees wheremilitants enjoy support.

By TIM DAHLBERGLAS VEGAS (AP) - Julio CesarChavez moved closer to his goal of100 fightsSaturdaynight by beatinga boxer who barely put up a fight.

Chavez chased Italy's GiovanniParisi for 12 rounds, winninga lop­sided decision to retain his WBCsuper lightweight title over a chal­lenger who seemed more interestedin survivingthan winning.

It was the96th fight forChavez ina pro career that stretches back 15years,butParisi madesureitwouldn'tbethe most memorable..

Parisi waiteduntilthe II throundtotry and mix it up with the Mexicanchampion,tradinga flurry after rais­ing his arms to mock Chavez. Bythen, however. Parisiwould have tohave knockedout Chavez to win thebout.

"All he did was run, run, run,"Chavez complained.

The fight W,LS so lopsided thatjudge Terry Smith gave Chavez ev­ery round, 120-107. Judges LouFilippo and Carol Castellm;o had it118-109. TIle Associated Press hadChavez winning I 19-108.
