By Roll Call Report Syndicate SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN WASHINGTON Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes in the week ending Feb. 11. House INDEPENDENT COUNSEL: By a vote of 356 for and 56 against, the House renewed for five years a law providing for court-appointed independent counsels to probe alleged wrongdoing by top executive branch officials including presidents.
The bill (HR 811) was sent to a House conference committee. Its major change from the past is to put tighter fiscal and accountability requirements on pendent counsel fiefdoms. Thirteen special prosecutors have been appointed by the U.S. Court of Appeals since the post was established in 1978. The law calls independent counsels into play when it would be unseemly for an attorney general to conduct criminal investigations of or prosecute colleagues within an administration.
Approximately 60 top officials are within the mandatory reach of the counsel. While members of Congress can also be targeted, 1 nothing in the bill automatically subjects them to scrutiny by special prosecutors (next issue). A yes vote was to pass the bill: NORTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Tim Valentine, D-2, Martin Lancaster, D-3, David Price, D-4, Charles Rose, D-7, W.G. Hefner, D-8, Melvin Watt, D-12. Voting no: Howard Coble, R-6, Cass Ballenger, R-10, Charles Taylor, R-11.
Not voting: Eva Clayton, D-1, Stephen Neal, D-5, Alex McMillan, R-9. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: By a vote of 230 for and 188 against, the House gave independent counsels optional rather than mandatory authority to probe and prosecute members of Congress. The vote occurred during debate on HR 811 (preceding item). It gutted a Republican proposal for mandatory scrutiny of lawmakers under the bill. It preserved Democratic language that allows but does not require a court-appointed counsel to investigate alleged wrongdoing by House members and senators.
The Democratic approach essentially continues the historical practice of attorneys general deciding when lawmakers should be subjected to criminal probes and prosecution. William Hughes, who favored the optional approach, said: "The reason the (present) system works so well is because all the resources of the Department of Justice are brought to bear on every investigation. But what the Republicans want us to do is take it out of the hands of the Department of Justice early on before the professionals, the career prosecutors, have an opportunity to inves- DEATHS FUNERALS ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES Former owner of Fowler's Grocery dies CASHIERS Edward Fowler, 87, of Cashiers, died Sunday, Feb. 13, in a Highlands-Cashiers hospital.

of 62 for and 31 against, the Senate sent to conference with the House a bill (S 1361) creating a new federal program to improve job prospects for youth who do not attend college. The bill provides $300 million annually to states for developing "school-to-work" programs in partnership with employers, labor officials and others in the community. Students would acquire longterm vocational skills on the job and in the classroom. Programs would be customized to feed regional job markets while staying within a broad policy framework set in Washington. Opponent Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said: "My question is, do we need another federal jobs program to achieve this goal.
There are 154 existing federal jobs-related programs which cost the Treasury over $20 billion annually." A yes vote was to pass the bill: N.C., Faircloth voted no. Helms voted no. Northern Lights experiment works THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FAIRBANKS, Alaska A Clemson researcher in Alaska to study the northern lights has helped send three instrument-laden rockets skyward to gauge the aurora borealis' effects on atmospheric winds. Understanding this "flywheel effect" should help scientists figure out how space weather affects satellites and space shuttles. "We saw what we had hoped to see," said Miguel Larsen, a Clemson physics professor who oversaw two of the rockets.
Early data from the rockets suggest the aurora causes a cyclone-type motion in atmospheric winds, scientists said. The conditions were just right: A high wind 1 had suddenly died down and a fragmented, greenishwhite aurora spread across the entire sky, according to scientists. "It was like someone poured some milk over the whole top of the atmosphere," said Robert Pfaff a space research scientist with NASA. FOREST LAWN FUNERAL HOME Susan P. Carter Directors: Kimberly S.

U.S. EMPLOYEE BUYOUTS: By a vote of 391 for and 17 against, the House passed a bill (HR 3345) authorizing buyouts of up to $25,000 per employee to reduce the federal work force. The legislation underpins the administration's plan to cut the civil service by 252,000 jobs, or 12 percent, over five years. If the cash incentives fail to thin ranks rapidly enough, reductions-in-force (RIFs) will be imposed on last-hired, first-fired basis. RIFs are considered less desirable because they ultimately cost more and deny managers discretion to keep their most valuable employees.
A yes vote was to send the civil servant buyout bill to the Senate: NORTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clayton, Valentine, Lancaster, Price, Coble, Rose, Hefner, McMillan, Ballenger, Charles Taylor, Watt. Voting no: None. Not voting: Stephen Neal. EDUCATION: By a vote of 71 for and 25 against, the Senate passed a bill (HR 1804) to raise learning and teaching levels in public schools. The administration's "Goals 2000" legislation is a new federal program to supplement existing elementary and secondary education programs.
It sets voluntary national standards and authorizes $400 million in FY '94 grants to states for innovative, local classroom programs to pursue those goals. The bill also seeks to prepare pre-schoolers for learning and upgrade adults' literacy and life skills. Three new fed panels would quarterback the legislation. Opponent Judd Gregg, R- N.H., denounced it as "a significant power grab by the federal government to try to take control and a significant and dominant role in the manner and methodology of education of our children in the elementary and secondary school systems A yes vote was to pass the bill: N.C., Lauch Faircloth, voted no. Jesse Helms, voted no.

Security guard knocked unconscious FROM STAFF REPORTS CASHIERS Police were searching for a suspect Sunday after a security guard was knocked unconscious Saturday night while checking a house. Walter Lee Phillips, a security guard for Sapphire Valley Public Security, was in stable condition at C.J. Harris Community Hospital with a severe concussion Sunday, Chief Leroy Clawson said.
According to Clawson, Phillips was conducting a routine security check on a Carrie Hill Road home in the Big Sheep Cliff community about 9:30 p.m. when Phillips noticed an open door. Phillips was on his way to his patrol car to report what he found when he was hit, Clawson said. "As far as we know, nothing was stolen from the house. We feel like (Phillips) interrupted a breaking and entering in progress," Clawson said.
Clawson said police wanted to question two white males seen in the area driving a Mazda RX7 car with chrome wheels. Anyone with information regarding the incident should call the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, the State Bureau of Investigation office in Asheville or the public safety office at (704) 743-2199, Clawson said.
