But after 8 weeks of bombing and with no sign of a peace deal, there is

finished on the ground.
( CLINTON IN LOUISIANA )
In a rare letter in today s New York Times, President Clinton insisted
the air war was doing its job...but added I do not rule out other
military options.
The White House plans to push NATO later this week to send 50,000
additional troops to the Kosovo border -- but it's a force the secretary
of state insisted would NOT be used for combat.
SOT: ALBRIGHT (Face the Nation) THEY ARE TO GO IN TO HELP WITH THE

The British government is pushing for troops to go in immediately...even
without that secure environment. Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the
BBC...that the allies- quote- really ought to have the stomach to
continue.
But NATO's spokesman later downplayed any suggestion that there was a
split in tactics among the allies. Shea insisted the allies are all
talking about the same mission.

NARR: But the senate majority leader warned Congress would not support
sending in American troops in such a scenario. Especially since the
Clinton Administration admitted today that 60 days of bombardments have
only destroyed one third of Milosevic's fighting capability.

10:45:22 EXCUSE ME? ONE THIRD! WHEN WE 'VE BEEN BOMBING NOW FOR ALMOST
TWO MONTHS! 60-THOUSAND SORTIES AND WE HAVE ONLY DEGRADED THEIR MILITARY FIGHTING CAPABILITY BY ONE THIRD?
O/C CLOSE: With winter just months away, Nato military commanders have
already warned the administration that time is running out to plan a

the air war an even stronger one. . Lee Cowan, CBS News, the White House.))

Helms died of a self-inflicted gunshot a week ago.
His first cousin wrote:
"I suppose I could blame the press but, overall, most of the press has, in my opinion, been fair. What is not fair, professional and ethical is the conduct of state and federal ABC officials/investigators as to the statements about Ramsey. He was not charged or convicted of any crime. To label him as a major figure before being charged is very unprofessional and the officers responsible should be dismissed from their positions. I am proud to be in the Helms family and kin to Ramsey. I will remember him, as a young boy, playing and working on his family farm. He was always mild-mannered and soft-spoken. He is far from the criminal ABC officials have portrayed him to be."

One by one the dignitaries arrived at VMI on May 23-rd, 1964 to dedicate the George C. Marshall research library.
Former President Dwight Eisenhower, President Lyndon Johnson, and General Omar Bradley were among those in attendance to honor Marshall.
Marshall was a 1901 graduate of VMI.
He was commissioned an Army officer and became a 5- star general.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize for devising the Marshall Plan... a massive undertaking to rebuild Western Europe after World War II.
In 1952, Harry Truman suggested to V-M-I that there needed to be a place to store Marshall's papers.
It took more than 10 years for that idea to became a reality.
The dignitaries toured the new library and took their places on the platform.
Eisenhower spoke.
He gave the crowd a taste of what it was like to serve under Marshall during the War.
