Bush vows support for unemployed workers BY CURT ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS - WASHINGTON - President Bush, saying terrorism has “sent a shock wave throughout our economy,” pledged Thursday to extend unem ployment benefits and provide $3 billion in emergency aid to work ers laid off because of the assaults. With fresh signs of trouble in the economy, Bush said he and other political leaders “hear the cries of those who have been laid off.” Unemployment benefits will be extended by 13 weeks in states hit hardest by the attacks, Bush told La bor Department employees. He also used the appearance at the depart ment to encourage states to sign up children for a government-run health care program. The program already has roughly $11 billion avail able and unclaimed by the states. Earlier, the Labor Department announced-that new claims for un employment benefits shot up last week to the highest level in nine years. The travel and tourism in dustries were particularly hard hit. More than 200,000 layoffs have been announced since Sept. 11, one slight measure of the attacks’ impact. Democrats questioned whether Bush was doing enough to help workers. “It’s a step in the right direction,” said House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo. Bush’s plan for emergency aid was one element of efforts by the administration and Congress to boost the economy. On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said he wanted to work with Con gress on a stimulus package in the range of $60 billion to $75 billion, including business and individual tax cuts. Key lawmakers were in vited to the White House for follow up meetings Thursday. “Now is not the time to be timid,” Bush said. “It’s time to be wise.” Officials familiar with details of Bush’s emergency aid package provided these details: ♦ The $3 billion in new funding would be made available through the states under an existing pro gram of emergency grants to meet a variety of needs, including health insurance, day care and job train ing. Individuals who were working on Sept. 11 and are not eligible for regular unemployment benefits would qualify and would also be re quired to enroll in government-run training programs. The president also was expected to stress that $6 billion already exists in a variety of job training program. At least some of the $3 billion would come from the money Con gress has already approved for na tional recovery, meaning it can be released at the stroke of the presi dent’s pen. ♦ Separately, the president was expected to invite governors to apply for federal funds for a gov ernment-run program that pro vides health care for children. One official said the government has $11 billion earmarked for the program that has not been claimed by any of the states, and that Bush would announce a streamlined review process at the Department of Health and Human Services. ♦ The additional 13 weeks of un employment benefits would be I'.. made available to states where job lessness has risen by 30 percent since the end of August. The ben efits would also be extended to states in which the president de clared a national emergency or major disaster declaration in con nection with the attacks. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said he told Bush the proposals seemed fine, but he cautioned: “I’m not sure that it covers all of the different needs we have with regard to people who fall through the cracks.” The president’s plan to cut tax es, boost spending and extend un employment benefits should assure that the U.S. economy does not suf fer through a prolonged period of slow growth, Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said Thursday. Rape Some victims feel partly to blame CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ♦ Past consent of sexual ac tivities doesn’t imply consent in the future. The university also says the whether either person was us ing alcohol or other drugs in conjunction with a sexual as sault doesn’t lessen responsi bility for this offense or di minish the seriousness of the offense. According to the report, about 80 percent of sexual as saults are committed by the vic tim’s acquaintances; this is an other reason many assaults go unreported. Many victims also don’t come forward because they feel guilty about getting their attackers in trouble. The report says might fear being os tracized by mutual friends and social circles, and that others don’t report assaults because they feel ashamed and partly to blame. Many women never report sexual assaults because many attackers are never punished. In 1999,53 percent of those ar rested for sexual assault in the South were never con victed, according to the re port. USC students can report at tacks to the police depart ment, the Student Judicial Board if the perpetrator is also a student or to the Office for Sexual Health and Vio lence Prevention. Any incident reported to the Office for Sexual Health and Vi olence Prevention is confiden tial and anonymous. Shannon Hunnicutt said the members of the office are “vic tim advocates,” who are dedi cated to helping students know their options and promoting their recovery. The Office for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention can be contacted at 777-7679.
