Attacks Feds could manage security at airlines CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The administration wasn’t in clined to make federal workers of all security personnel at airports — for example, those who staff se curity checkpoints for passengers and carry-on bags. Instead, the proposal i^ likely to be for the FAA to have a great role in overseeing private security companies, as well as a more robust effort to cross-check information on their personnel with law enforcement databases already in existence. A proposal from the pilots union to allow its members to carry weapons aboard flights is unlikely to win approval from the admin istration, these officials said. In nrlrl r\ *1 m i n» i nlnofinn is developing plans to make gener al aviation more secure. The nation has a large number of private planes, jets included, as well as landing strips, and officials are struggling to come up with a plan to provide security without unnec essary government interference. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell traveled to the Capitol to give lawmakers a se cret briefing on the status of mil itary and diplomatic steps to re spond to the attacks. The stock market closed with a gain of 50 points for the Dow Jones industrial average. But in fresh evidence of fallout from ter rorism, consumer confidence fell sharply in September. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the administration hadn’t yet decided whether to sup port a broad-based economic stim ulus package, including tax cuts. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, meeting privately with senators, was quoted as saying that, to be effective, any plan might need to be as large as $100 billion. Two weeks to the day after at President Bush, joined by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, announced Monday that he has moved to choke off terrorist funding, photo by CHUCK KENNEDY/KRT CAMPUS tacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, New Yorkers picked up politically where they had left off, choosing candidates for a November mayoral election. Term-limited Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, widely praised for his stewardship since the attacks, stoked speculation he might want to stay in the job. The number of confirmed dead at the trade center, hit by hi jacked jetliners, rose to 279. The number of missing stood at 6,398. Another 189 people perished at the Pentagon, hit in a similar at tack, and 44 more died when a hi jacked plane crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside. “I think the war aims are clear,” House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt said after he and other lawmakers met with Bush at the White House. “In a way, it’s meet ing guerrilla warfare with guerril la warfare, but it’s also meeting it with financial efforts, and political efforts, and diplomatic efforts,” the Missouri Democrat said. Saudi Arabia’s move left Pakistan as the only nation in the world to maintain ties with the Taliban — and Pakistan has pledged cooperation with the American-led war on terrorism. It leaves Afghanistan’s hard-line Islamic regime even more isolat ed in its showdown with the United States over bin Laden, the No. 1 suspect in the attacks. Separate from Saudi Arabia’s move, Russian President Vladimir Putin underlined his country’s commitment to an international coalition against terror, calling for the “complete ideological and po litical isolation” of international terrorists. He spoke in Berlin af ter meeting with German leaders. Bush welcomed both actions in remarks to reporters at the White House after a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. “I am most pleased that the Saudi Arabians yesterday cut off relations with the Taliban and that President Putin, in a strong statement, talked about the cooperation that the United States and Russia will have,” he said. He said Japan will “share intel ligence that will work coopera tively” in the diplomatic war on terrorism.” Two Japanese news papers reported Japan will send warships to the Indian Ocean as early as this week to carry out in telligence and surveillance mis sions. The squadron might accom pany the USS Kitty Hawk, an air craft carrier that left its base near Tokyo on Friday, the reports said. Fleischer announced that Bush would travel to Chicago on Thursday to pledge support for the battered airlines industry and urge Americans to resume nor mal spending practices. He spoke as the Conference Board in New York was provid ing fresh evidence that Americans’ concerns about an al ready weakened economy had been redoubled by the attacks. The New York-based business group said its Consumer Confidence Index sank to 97.6 from a revised 114 in August. Greenspan and former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin met privately with the Senate Finance Committee, and said a stimulus amounting to 1 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product would be a proper bench POLICE REPORT Each numbered symbol on the map represents a single crime that corresponds with the numbered descriptions in the list below it DAY CRIMES f □ Violent crimes ■ \ NIGHT CRIMES (6a.m.-6p.m.) \ ^ ~ t f (6p.m.-6a.m.) I O Nonviolent cnmes # I H © CRIMES AT UNKNOWN HOURS Sunday, Sept. 23 ® AUTO BREAK-IN, 116 MARION ST.
