((
at:00 (Washington, DC/Sunday) DURING TONIGHT'S SPEECH IN CINCINNATI, PRESIDENT BUSH IS EXPECTED TO GIVE A DETAILED ARGUMENT ON HOW IRAQ IS VIOLATING U-N RESOLUTIONS. ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAY HE WILL ALSO ARGUE THAT WEAPONS INSPECTORS SHOULD NOT RETURN TO IRAQ UNTIL THE SECURITY COUNCIL PASSES A RESOLUTION THREATENING THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE. AND THE PRESIDENT COULD REPEAT WHAT HE HAS SAID BEFORE. IF THE U-N DOESN'T ACT THE U-S WILL.

(SOT-President Bush) (Manchester, New Hampshire/Saturday):15

"the world community must work to disarm him, and if they won't I will lead a coalition of nations, like minded nations, to send a message that we long for peace in this world"
THIS WEEK CONGRESS COULD INCREASE PRESSURE ON THE UNITED NATIONS BY PASSING A U-S RESOLUTION GIVING THE PRESIDENT AUTHORITY TO USE MILITARY FORCE AGAINST SADDAM. BUT IT SEEMS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOESN'T WANT THE PRESIDENT TO RUSH INTO WAR.

IN A CBS NEWS, NEW YORK TIMES POLL 63 PERCENT OF THOSE SURVEYED SAID THE U-S SHOULD GIVE U-N WEAPONS INSPECTORS TIME BEFORE TAKING MILITARY ACTION. 65 PERCENT ALSO WANT AMERICA TO WAIT FOR THE ALLIED NATIONS TO GET ON-BOARD.

Port labor talks have broken off on the West Coast, after dock workers rejected the latest contract offer from shippers.
There's no word on when negotiations might resume.
The Pacific Maritime Association, which represents shippers, says the contract would have made the dock workers the highest- paid blue collar workers in the country.
The shutdown is costing the U-S about two- billion dollars a day, as cargo remains stuck on ships.
