[0:00] Good night.

[0:04] >> On World News Tonight this Monday, the

[0:06] Washington battle over a trillion

[0:08] dollars in the budget surplus. The HMO

[0:11] battle fighting over patients rights.

[0:14] Trouble at the border. Criminals are

[0:15] getting through the security net. Is

[0:17] there a computer failure or a human one?

[0:20] And we'll take a closer look at women's

[0:22] soccer. Now,

[0:24] what's the goal after the glory?

[0:34] From ABC News World Headquarters in New

[0:37] York, this is World News Tonight with

[0:41] Peter Jennings.

[0:42] >> Good evening. Nothing like some extra

[0:43] money coming in to bring on a good old

[0:45] political Donnie Brookke in Washington,

[0:46] which is where we begin tonight. The

[0:48] White House and Republicans in the

[0:50] Congress basically agreed that the

[0:51] budget surplus over the next 10 years

[0:54] will be about a trillion dollars larger

[0:56] than expected. and they agreed to meet

[0:58] today to discuss what should be done

[1:00] with it, which is as far as agreement

[1:02] went. We start with Sam Donaldson who's

[1:04] at the White House. Sam,

[1:05] >> that's right, Peter. The bipartisan

[1:07] congressional leadership came down here

[1:09] to the White House late today to meet

[1:10] with the president in the opening clash

[1:12] over what to do with the budget surplus

[1:14] over and above Social Security that is

[1:17] projected over the next 10 years. The

[1:19] battle lines are clear. Spend most of it

[1:22] or give most of it back in the form of

[1:24] tax cuts.

[1:26] Congressional Republicans want a huge

[1:28] tax cut on the order of about $800

[1:30] billion over 10 years. House Republicans

[1:33] favor a 10% across the board cut in

[1:35] income tax rates. Senate Republicans are

[1:38] eyeing a much smaller rate reduction on

[1:40] the order of 1% for everyone, but both

[1:43] would give back most of the non-social

[1:45] security surplus.

[1:46] >> We think a tax relief package is

[1:48] critical. Uh we need to get it done.

[1:51] >> If you leave a surplus on the table in

[1:53] this town, it gets spent. A lot of

[1:55] people like to spend those dollars. If

[1:56] you spend those dollars and build the

[1:58] platform of government or the table of

[2:00] government spending, you'll never see a

[2:02] surplus again.

[2:03] >> But Clinton administration officials

[2:05] maintain that large tax cuts leave

[2:06] almost nothing for other important

[2:08] priorities.

[2:09] >> It's puzzling, disturbing, and

[2:11] disappointing that the Republicans now

[2:13] put forward uh a tax cut plan that

[2:16] leaves zero zero for Medicare over a

[2:20] 10-year period. The administration plan

[2:22] for the trillion dollar surplus is to

[2:24] devote 374 billion to shoring up

[2:26] Medicare, increase defense and domestic

[2:29] spending by 378 billion, and cut taxes

[2:32] by 250 billion for middle and low-income

[2:35] Americans only.

[2:36] >> The right tax cut protects our

[2:38] priorities and targets what are crucial

[2:41] issues uh for middle-income families.

[2:43] >> Administration officials also argue

[2:45] against a big tax cut by saying the

[2:47] projections could turn out to be wrong

[2:49] and the surplus could disappear. Good

[2:51] point. But then there wouldn't be money

[2:53] for Medicare or the new spending that

[2:56] the administration wants either. Peter,

[2:59] >> thank you, Sam. The Senate began

[3:01] debating a number of proposals today

[3:03] that would define the rights that

[3:04] patients have when they deal with health

[3:06] maintenance organizations. Currently,

[3:08] patients are allowed to sue their HMOs

[3:10] for refusing treatment, but they're not

[3:13] allowed to collect punitive damages. The

[3:15] plan proposed by the Democrats would

[3:17] alter that. Here's ABC's Linda Douglas.

[3:23] Treatment refused. A second opinion

[3:26] denied. The HMO horror stories are

[3:28] familiar. Today, Democrats tried to

[3:31] build support for their plan to expand

[3:33] patients rights and give them the power

[3:35] to sue their HMOs. They highlighted the

[3:38] pain of people like Ray Cernigia. His

[3:40] young son had cancer, but the HMO denied

[3:43] him treatment involving highdose

[3:44] chemotherapy.

[3:45] >> The HMO was the judge in the jury.

[3:49] Matthew passed away in February.

[3:51] >> But Republicans countered with their own

[3:53] victims, small business owners who say

[3:55] the changes proposed by the Democrats

[3:57] would make health insurance so expensive

[4:00] they could not offer it to their

[4:01] workers. Lynn Sher BS runs a business

[4:04] with eight employees. My company will be

[4:06] one of the first to stop offering health

[4:09] benefits to our employees. Neither the

[4:11] company nor the employees would be able

[4:14] to afford the premium increases.

[4:16] Republicans mocked the Democrats plan as

[4:19] topheavy with federal regulations and

[4:21] warned of the consequences of giving

[4:23] patients the right to sue their HMOs.

[4:25] >> The Kennedy bill would cost families

[4:28] hundreds of dollars per year and

[4:30] uninsure or increase the number of

[4:32] uninsured in the millions.

[4:34] >> Democrats insist the cost of their plan

[4:36] would amount to only about $2 per person

[4:38] per month.

[4:39] >> Democrats kept telling HMO horror

[4:41] stories, suggesting Republicans don't

[4:44] care. Republicans will try to pass some

[4:46] modest reforms, just enough to diffuse

[4:48] the issue in next year's campaigns.

[4:50] Linda Douglas, ABC News, Capitol Hill.

[4:53] >> The country's largest civil rights group

[4:55] has filed suit today against a number of

[4:57] companies that manufacture, distribute,

[4:59] and import guns. The National

[5:01] Association for the Advancement of

[5:02] Colored People is not seeking money.

[5:04] Instead, the NAACP wants gun makers to

[5:07] limit the number of firearms that one

[5:09] person may buy. and they also want

[5:11] better monitoring of where guns are

[5:13] sold. The NAACP has also launched a

[5:17] major attack today on the four major

[5:19] television networks. They complain that

[5:22] of the 26 new shows premiering this

[5:24] fall, none has a minority character in a

[5:28] leading role. Here's ABC's Terry Moran.

[5:32] >> A whitewash is what the NAACP's

[5:34] president called the network's prime

[5:35] time programming this fall. And when you

[5:37] take a look at the new programs, you see

[5:40] white people in the city on ABC, white

[5:42] people with money on CBS, white people

[5:45] falling in love on NBC, white people

[5:48] hanging out.

[5:49] >> I was trying to be tasteless.

[5:51] >> Black people, it seems, are invisible.

[5:54] >> That kind of glaring omission is an

[5:56] outrage. It is a shameful display by

[6:00] network executives who are either

[6:03] clueless, careless, or both. The NAACP's

[6:07] charges mark only the second time the

[6:09] nation's oldest civil rights group has

[6:10] taken on the networks. 48 years ago, the

[6:13] group attacked the Amos and Andy Show

[6:15] for its stereotype portrayal of black

[6:17] characters.

[6:18] >> I going to give it to you right from the

[6:20] heart.

[6:21] >> Black characters started to become

[6:23] familiar figures in prime time in the

[6:25] 1970s, and the 1980s were the high

[6:27] point, capped by the huge success of The

[6:29] Cosby Show. But now with the emergence

[6:32] of cable TV and new broadcast networks

[6:34] which appeal to black viewers, audiences

[6:37] seem to be segregating themselves.

[6:39] >> Television is very much like American

[6:42] society remains today and that is it's

[6:45] largely segregated. African-Americans

[6:47] watch their programming and the majority

[6:50] are white Americans watch their

[6:52] programming.

[6:53] >> But many inside the TV industry say

[6:55] there may be another reason for the

[6:56] color line in prime time. Generally

[6:59] speaking, the networks do not have

[7:00] enough diversity within their own

[7:02] staffs.

[7:02] >> The major networks issued statements

[7:04] today defending their records, but

[7:06] pledging to do more. The NAACP says it

[7:08] may call for a boycott of network

[7:10] programming. Terry Moran, ABC News, New

[7:13] York.

[7:14] >> In Washington today, the Justice

[7:15] Department has brought suit against

[7:16] Toyota. It says pollution detection

[7:18] systems on more than two million Toyotas

[7:21] and Lexus cars violate the US clean air

[7:25] laws. Toyota says the systems do comply

[7:28] and if there is no settlement, the

[7:30] company Toyota that is, could face

[7:32] billions of dollars in penalties. On the

[7:35] money tonight, a milestone for the

[7:36] world's largest mutual fund, the Mellan

[7:38] Fund, is close to crossing the $100

[7:41] billion mark in assets. The gap between

[7:44] rich and poor is growing. A new study by

[7:46] the United Nations finds that the 200

[7:49] wealthiest people in the world now have

[7:52] more money than the two billion poorest

[7:55] people in the world. The French company

[7:57] that owns the Motel 6 chain is buying

[7:59] red roof in AOR will pay $1.2 billion.

[8:04] Incidentally, motel are the latest in a

[8:06] long line of American industries to be

[8:08] adopted by a single immigrant group.

[8:10] According to the American Hotel and

[8:12] Motel Association, more than half the

[8:14] motel in the country are now owned by

[8:17] immigrants from India. On Wall Street

[8:20] today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average

[8:22] was up more than seven points to close

[8:23] at 11,200.

[8:26] On the NASDAQ market, stocks were down

[8:28] just a little more than two and a half

[8:30] points. In a moment, we'll have the rest

[8:32] of the day's news, tracking illegal

[8:34] aliens when the computers are unable to

[8:37] talk to each other. And will the women

[8:40] get a league of their own? We'll ask.

[8:46] >> This is World News Tonight with Peter

[9:46] to seal in all the slowcooked goodness

[9:48] of Whiska's homestyle favorites.

[10:30] Fresh. Natural mint freshness and a soft

[10:33] thin seal that bonds dentures to gum.

[10:35] Original and new Seabbon Natural Fresh.

[10:39] >> When I take a liquid ant acid, I'm I

[10:42] feel like

[10:43] >> Well, now there's new fast acting

[10:45] Milanta Supreme.

[10:46] >> What makes it supreme?

[10:47] >> Wow.

[10:47] >> Oh, that's good. I'm not kidding.

[10:49] >> Very light. Yeah, it tastes like a

[10:51] dessert.

[10:51] >> Milanta Supreme. Taste it for yourself.

[10:55] Off the Florida coast today, there was

[10:57] another brief standoff between the Coast

[10:59] Guard and a boatload of Cubans trying to

[11:01] reach the US. The Cubans motor failed,

[11:04] and after some negotiating, all 16

[11:06] willingly got on board a Coast Guard

[11:08] cutter. The nation's law enforcement

[11:11] agencies are a step more modern today

[11:13] because of an upgrade in the FBI's

[11:15] computer system. As of now, police

[11:18] officers will be able to pull up

[11:19] electronic mug shots on the laptops in

[11:22] their cars. The Immigration and

[11:24] Naturalization Service would also like

[11:26] to be connected had they been so only

[11:28] recently, the so-called railroad serial

[11:31] killer might be in custody. Here's ABC's

[11:34] John Martin.

[11:36] This man is an illegal alien arrested by

[11:39] the Border Patrol in Texas. Agents

[11:42] identified him by using a computer

[11:44] database called Ident. By taking his

[11:47] picture and two of his fingerprints, the

[11:49] Immigration and Naturalization Service

[11:51] can tell within 20 seconds if he's been

[11:53] arrested before. Using a computer

[11:55] program called Lookout, they can tell if

[11:57] he's wanted for a crime. The system is

[12:00] in place, but in the case of Raphael

[12:03] Rendez Ramirez, the system broke down

[12:06] after a doctor was murdered in a Houston

[12:08] suburb in December 1998. The police told

[12:12] INS that Rendez Ramirez was wanted in

[12:14] connection with it. But when he was

[12:16] picked up here near El Paso on June 1st,

[12:20] >> but Rosendez Ramire's name was not in

[12:22] Lookout then

[12:23] >> because you didn't have the date on it

[12:27] >> because we didn't put him in the system.

[12:29] >> It's either human error or human

[12:31] carelessness. In either case, that's not

[12:34] acceptable.

[12:34] >> Right now, we have a broken system. They

[12:36] either need to completely start over and

[12:39] come up with a new system or figure out

[12:40] a way to keep their promise to Congress

[12:42] from two years ago. What Congress was

[12:44] told was coming was a system by which

[12:46] the INS computer databases could talk to

[12:49] other law enforcement databases. This is

[12:52] critical with 400,000 illegal aliens

[12:55] holding criminal records. But this

[12:57] computer linkup has not happened.

[12:59] >> Francisco.

[13:00] >> Francisco.

[13:01] >> In fact, the INS admits that its new

[13:04] high-tech system will not connect with

[13:06] the FBI's new database when it comes

[13:08] online later this month. The reason is

[13:11] that the FBI files, which contain 10

[13:13] fingerprints on each person, would

[13:15] overwhelm the INS system.

[13:17] >> Certainly, we would like to uh uh tie

[13:20] all this together, but we're not we

[13:22] don't know how we can yet.

[13:23] >> In the field, INS tracks 1.5 million

[13:26] illegal aliens a year. But the agency is

[13:29] haunted by the human error that allowed

[13:31] this man to slip through its hands, and

[13:33] so is Congress, which had come to expect

[13:35] so much more. John Martin, ABC News,

[13:39] Washington.

[13:40] >> In London today, two Egyptian men

[13:42] accused of conspiracy to murder in last

[13:44] summer's US embassy bombings in Africa

[13:47] were taken to court under very heavy

[13:49] security. The two were arrested in

[13:50] London yesterday. Prosecutors say the

[13:52] men's fingerprints linked them to the

[13:55] bombings. There is another power

[13:57] struggle underway in Iran. And once

[13:59] again, the country appears to be

[14:00] dangerously polarized between those

[14:03] supporting the elected president, who is

[14:05] more open to change, and the forces of

[14:07] the Supreme Religious leader, who has

[14:09] the support of the harderline

[14:11] conservatives. ABC's Richard Gizard has

[14:14] been monitoring this latest outburst.

[14:17] These are the biggest political protests

[14:19] in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in

[14:22] 1979.

[14:23] Today, students battled riot police who

[14:26] answered with tear gas and fired shots

[14:28] into the air. It all took place next to

[14:31] one of the old billboards from 79 when

[14:33] the cry was death to America. But the

[14:35] crowd was protesting against hardliners

[14:38] in its own government saying death to

[14:40] dictates.

[14:42] The students took to the streets when a

[14:44] moderate newspaper was shut down. It

[14:46] began as a small protest for freedom of

[14:49] the press. But when police and witnesses

[14:51] say plain clothed vigilantes attacked

[14:54] the students, it mushroomed.

[14:56] >> The great majority of the Iranian

[14:57] population, not just students, uh want

[15:00] change uh and reforms. So there's little

[15:02] question that the students enjoy

[15:04] widespread support.

[15:06] >> Many Iranians have had enough of life

[15:08] under the strict rule of the country's

[15:10] spiritual leaders. They elected a

[15:12] moderate president, Muhammad Hatami, two

[15:14] years ago. But the real power in Iran is

[15:18] still with the hardline Islamic

[15:20] leadership which is resisting change.

[15:23] That is what the students and now many

[15:25] other people here say they are fighting

[15:27] against. Richard Gizbbert, ABC News,

[15:30] London. One last item overseas in

[15:33] Western Serbia tonight. It was Valvo's

[15:35] turn. Another of those spontaneous

[15:37] anti-government demonstrations in a town

[15:40] run by President Mallosvich's own

[15:42] political party. Several thousand people

[15:44] stormed the town hall. It got violent

[15:47] for a while and then police gave in and

[15:49] let people inside when we come back. The

[15:53] US women's soccer team on top of the

[15:55] world, but will it sell? We'll take a

[15:57] closer look.

[18:02] better taste, too.

[18:08] We're going to take a closer look

[18:09] tonight at the future of the US women's

[18:11] soccer team. Still basking in the glory

[18:13] of their marathon victory over China on

[18:16] the weekend. Though there's got to be a

[18:18] better way than penalty shots. There was

[18:20] tremendous interest in the game on

[18:22] Saturday. About 40 million people

[18:23] watched the final, which dwarfs the

[18:25] average audience for the National Hockey

[18:27] League Stanley Cup championship and for

[18:30] that matter was larger than that for the

[18:31] finals of the National Basketball

[18:33] Association.

[18:35] So, what now? Here's ABC's Betsy Stark.

[18:41] >> When the feel-good patriotic moment

[18:43] passes, the future of women's soccer

[18:45] hangs on this blunt reality of American

[18:48] sport.

[18:48] >> At the end of the day, soccer in this

[18:50] country will fail if the corporations

[18:52] cannot use it as a vehicle to sell more

[18:54] merchandise.

[18:55] >> You cannot buy the kind of publicity the

[18:57] team is getting right now. Talk shows,

[19:00] magazine covers, gushing crowds. But

[19:03] despite all the hoopla, corporate

[19:05] America is not yet sold. Wedi said today

[19:08] it has no plans to feature the team on

[19:10] its cereal boxes. 11 bigname companies

[19:14] sponsored Women's World Cup, but they

[19:16] limited their investment to signs around

[19:18] the arenas. No big long-term ad

[19:20] campaigns are now in the works. Mia Ham

[19:23] leads her teammates in personal

[19:25] endorsements with more than a million

[19:26] dollars in deals. Had enough?

[19:29] >> Let's go. But do not be fooled by this

[19:32] ad. She's still no match for women pros

[19:34] such as tennis star Monica Celis or

[19:37] Olympic skater Christy Yamaguchi. Sports

[19:40] marketers say ultimately for women's

[19:42] soccer to succeed, there needs to be a

[19:44] professional league. A league gives

[19:46] viewers and fans a regular opportunity

[19:48] to enjoy the game and companies a

[19:50] regular opportunity to reach them. But

[19:53] even that's no guarantee. After three

[19:55] years, men's major league soccer is

[19:58] still playing to tiny television

[19:59] audiences and stadium attendance has

[20:02] actually slipped. Sports writer Frank

[20:04] DeFord thinks women's soccer could be

[20:06] different.

[20:07] >> The irony is that whereas men's soccer

[20:10] can't possibly make it because the

[20:11] competition is too thick from all the

[20:13] the the monster sports, baseball,

[20:15] basketball, and football, women's soccer

[20:17] can make it.

[20:20] The question is, would city-to-c city

[20:22] competition, instead of US versus the

[20:25] world, sell seats and attract viewers

[20:27] night after night. This victory is a

[20:30] tough act to follow. Betsy Stark, ABC

[20:33] News, New York.

[20:35] >> Well, there is one person who probably

[20:37] knows better than anyone what these

[20:38] young women face in the future. And a

[20:39] little while ago, we talked to Mara

[20:42] Messing, who is the president of the

[20:44] Women's World Cup organizing committee.

[20:47] Mara, it has been quite an experience,

[20:49] but what next?

[20:51] >> Well, I think um what we've done with

[20:53] the 1999 Women's World Cup is we have

[20:55] established perhaps the only standalone

[20:59] worldclass world caliber sporting event

[21:01] for women around the world. And so at

[21:04] least twice every four years when the

[21:07] women's World Cup comes around and when

[21:09] the Olympics comes around, there's going

[21:10] to be a lot of interest in women's

[21:12] soccer.

[21:13] >> A league of their own.

[21:14] >> A league of their own would be great.

[21:16] The thing about the United States is if

[21:17] we established a women's professional

[21:19] soccer league, it would immediately

[21:21] become the best league in the world.

[21:24] Contrary to the men's side where um even

[21:26] though we have a professional league in

[21:28] this country, there are so many uh

[21:31] longestablished leagues around the world

[21:33] that attract the best players in the

[21:35] world.

[21:35] >> The audience has just heard it said that

[21:37] if there is no sponsorship, these women

[21:40] don't have a chance of growing into

[21:42] anything really bigger. Is that a fair

[21:44] comment? I think that is fair in this

[21:46] day and age. You need sponsorship. You

[21:48] need television exposure. And of course,

[21:50] you need spectators in stadiums.

[21:52] >> Have you told all the women on the world

[21:53] champion team they shouldn't hold their

[21:55] breath about making enormous sums of

[21:57] money or having a league?

[21:58] >> Uh, no. I haven't told them not to hold

[22:00] their breath. I think there is some hope

[22:02] for a women's professional league. I

[22:04] think two years out is is um, you know,

[22:06] is probably realistic. Um, and I think

[22:09] there is some, you know, there will be

[22:10] some money for these players. I think

[22:12] they'll be able to make a living as

[22:14] soccer players.

[22:15] >> Thanks very much. In a moment, how

[22:18] things change. The father once promised

[22:20] to bury America. Today, his son became

[22:24] an American.

[22:29] >> Hi, I'm Bob Vila. You know, your home is

[22:32] your sanctuary, the one place you and

[22:34] your children should feel safe. But

[22:37] there can be dangers, too. And some of

[22:39] them are not so obvious. Improperly

[22:41] wired outlets that can electrocute,

[22:44] water coolers that can burn, household

[22:46] cleaners that can kill, lead paint that

[22:49] can poison. To find out about them, call

[22:52] HUD.

[22:52] >> For a free brochure on HUD's healthy

[22:54] homes and FHA loans, just call HUD and

[22:57] FHA are on your side.

[23:01] >> Opening arguments start at 9:30 whether

[23:03] this arthritis pain goes away or not.

[23:05] So, I took Advil liquid gels. Nothing's

[23:08] been proven stronger on arthritis pain.

[23:10] They're the only pain reliever with

[23:11] liquid inside. Advil liquid gels.

[23:13] Stronger than pain.

[23:18] >> Hi, I have a question about buying

[23:20] stock. What's the difference between a

[23:22] market order and a limit order?

[23:29] >> Hello.

[23:35] Excuse me. When you have an investment

[23:37] question, does your online brokerage

[23:39] have anybody there to answer it? We do.

[23:43] >> It's It's not funny anymore.

[23:47] >> When dentures dream, they see the

[23:50] perfect denture cleanser. One with a

[23:52] stain fighting power of effort and the

[23:55] freshening power of Listerine. Well,

[23:58] little friend, dream no more. It's

[24:00] really here. It's called Everdent Plus

[24:04] and it's the only denture cleanser that

[24:06] could make your dream come true. Effort

[24:09] and Clean and Listerine Fresh. That's

[24:12] Everdant Plus.

[24:16] Raisin Brand, huh?

[24:17] >> Uh, yeah.

[24:19] >> Hey, what's going on?

[24:20] >> That Raisin Brand has less than half

[24:22] your folic acid for the day. Even less

[24:24] of your sink.

[24:25] >> That's a weeny breakfast, Frank.

[24:27] >> There's almost no vitamin E at all.

[24:29] Looks like you need total Raisin Brand.

[24:31] Just one bowl gives you 100% of 10

[24:33] important vitamins and minerals you need

[24:35] for the day. No other Raisin Brand comes

[24:37] close.

[24:37] >> And a boy.

[24:40] >> And there's room for my spoon.

[24:41] >> Total Total Raisin Brand. Total corn

[24:43] flakes. What are you getting for

[24:44] breakfast?

[24:46] When Americans take to the road, they

[24:48] generally take stuff.

[24:49] >> We have the stroller, which has to be in

[24:50] the car at all times.

[24:52] >> Transports my bike and anybody else that

[24:54] uh wants to go.

[24:55] >> That's why Americans are switching to

[24:57] Chevy Malibu. Powerful, roomy,

[25:00] comfortable.

[25:00] >> Malibu offers a V6 and still costs over

[25:02] 3,000 less than Camry and Accord. We're

[25:04] >> very happy we bought the Malibu.

[25:06] >> The car you knew America could build.

[25:08] Malibu.

[25:08] >> You can drive away in a new Malibu with

[25:10] your choice of low financing or 1,500

[25:13] cash back. See your Chevrolet dealer

[25:14] today. When arthritis pain hurts, you

[25:17] want relief fast. But some pills can

[25:19] cause stomach irritation. Rubs can have

[25:21] odor. Asper cream's different. Rubbing

[25:23] an Asper cream relieves minor arthritis

[25:26] pain. No stomach irritation, no odor.

[25:28] Asper cream. Pain relief without

[25:30] aspirin.

[25:31] >> Tonight on 2020, it's amazing. A

[25:33] 31-year-old felon posing as a high

[25:36] school student.

[25:36] >> I wanted to go back to the point in my

[25:38] life where I was not a criminal.

[25:42] >> You almost got away with it. Why did you

[25:44] feel it was necessary to turn your own

[25:45] son in?

[25:46] >> Who else would?

[25:47] >> On 2020 tonight at 8:7 central.

[25:51] >> Just a brief review of our top story.

[25:53] The president and congressional

[25:54] Republicans meeting tonight at the White

[25:56] House to talk, argue really about what

[25:58] to do with the budget surplus.

[26:00] Republicans are looking for tax cuts.

[26:02] The White House says that tax cuts that

[26:04] are too large could jeopardize Medicare.

[26:08] Finally, from us, a small but

[26:10] fascinating postcript to the Cold War.

[26:15] >> That's for you, sir.

[26:16] >> Thank you. Today, at a citizenship

[26:18] ceremony in Providence, Rhode Island,

[26:20] Sergey Kushchoff and his wife became

[26:23] citizens of the United States. There was

[26:25] a time when millions of us would have

[26:27] thought it impossible. If you're under

[26:29] 40, someone will have to tell you what

[26:31] it was like in the world when Sergey's

[26:33] father, Nikita Kushchoff, was the Soviet

[26:36] dictator. He was flamboyant and

[26:38] provocative and frightening. He was

[26:40] responsible for the Cuban missile crisis

[26:42] when the US and the Soviet Union came to

[26:45] the brink of nuclear war. He was so

[26:47] outrageous at the United Nations that in

[26:50] a time of maximum danger, the world

[26:52] worried about his stability. His son

[26:55] Sergey was a computer scientist and a

[26:57] rocket specialist. Soviet rockets

[27:00] frightened Americans too. And then as

[27:02] the Soviet Union collapsed, his father

[27:05] had already died. Sergey and his wife

[27:07] came here to work on his father's

[27:09] memoirs at first and now to teach at

[27:12] Brown University.

[27:13] >> We have to be citizen because if you are

[27:16] living in the country, you have to be

[27:17] the citizen.

[27:18] >> What would his father think today?

[27:21] >> It's impossible to move the political

[27:23] figure from one period to the another.

[27:26] >> Longer citizens, please rise and raise

[27:29] your right hand.

[27:30] >> Sergey Krushchev says he'll have to

[27:32] think hard about voting in American

[27:34] elections. He voted, he says, only once

[27:37] in Russia for Boris Yelson. Mr. Kruchov

[27:40] says he doesn't want to make the same

[27:42] mistake twice.

[27:44] How the world turns. That is our report

[27:47] on World News Tonight. Don't forget

[27:48] 2020. And then on Night Line, they're

[27:50] going to have more on the budget

[27:51] surplus. Some question that it might be

[27:52] smaller than we thought. I'm Peter

[27:54] Jennings. We hope you have a good

[27:55] evening and that we'll see you tomorrow.

[27:57] Good night.

[28:11] Tomorrow, renting babies to cross the

[28:14] border. Illegal immigrants busted. A

[28:17] scheme unravels. Watch ABC's World News

[28:19] Tonight with Peter Jennings. This has

[28:22] been a presentation of ABC News. More

[28:24] Americans get their news from ABC News

[28:27] than from any other source. ABC News.
