UEUTENANT Governor Ben­jamin T. Manglona expressed op­timism yesterday that the CNMIwould be able 10 match federalcontributions to the $240 millionmulti-yearfinancial package.

Ifworstcomes to worstand theNorthern Marianas fails to raisethemoney,theagreementbetweentheCNMI and the federal govern­ment still provides flexibility toallow the Northem Marianas tosecurereleaseof thefederalfundswithout the local counterpart,Manglonasaidin an interview.

A MEASUREwhichproposes tomake the use of illegally installedwaterpumps a criminaloffenseisnow before the House of Repre­sentatives for consideration.

Authored by Vice Speaker Di­ego T. Benavente, the measuresays the amount of water avail­able to every household on theisland depends on the "conscien­tious effort ofeachuser" comply­ing with the rules and regulationsof the Commonwealth UtilitiesCorp.

"It is duly unfair for anyone toemployillegaluseofwaterpumpsin that not only are the neighbor­ing households denied their fairshare of this finite resource, butthereappearstobe alotof wasteisthis isn't regulated," Benaventesaid.

"The problemhas ballooned tothe extent that making it a crimi­naloffensehasbecomeamatterofnecessity,"hesaid. "It isproposedthat violators would be fined$1,000 for the flrst offense and$2,500for subsequent violationsand the proposed measure alsoincludes penalties for water re­cipients originatingfrom unregu­lated water pumps.

"It is importanttopoint too thatonce this proposed measure be­comes law, CUC would be outsurveying residential and com­mercial areas to fmd out illegalwaterpurnphook-ups. The Attor­ney General's Office would alsobe involved in the enforcementofthis measure," Benavente said.

that while theybacka chemical­weapons ban in principle, theywouldnot sign as long as Israelretainsnuclearweapons. "Thereis a unanimous decision by theArab countries not to sign thetreaty banning theuse of chemi­cal weapons," Egyptian ForeignMinister AmrMoussa saidMon­dayin Cairo.

He reiterated Egyptian Presi­dent Hosni Mubarak's call for aMiddle East free of all weaponsof massdestruction.

Iraq,theonlynationbesides theUnited StatesandRussia thatad­mits owningchemical weapons,willnotsign.NeitherwillSyriaorLibya, suspected of developingthemsecretly, diplomats saidoncondition of anonymity.

North Korea, suspected of de­veloping both chemical andnuclear programs, willnot attendtheParis ceremonies.

Afghanistan, Burma, China,Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Iran,Is­rael and Vietnam have said theywill signdespite reports over theyears, unconfmned by theirgov­ernments, that they possesschemical arms.

Indiaand Pakistan, believedtobecompeting nuclearrivals,alsohavesaid they willsign.

The treatycompels signatoriesto confirm whether they havechemical weapons. They are re­quiredto destroytheirstocksandweapons-makingfacilities within10 yearsafter the treatytakes ef­feet.

It takes effect once 65 nationsratify it, but not before January1995.

The treaty alsobans the use ofherbicides andriot-control agents

tries and North Korea risk stiffembargoesofchemicals andother .goods to compel them to acceptthepact,diplomats saidoncondi­tionof anonymity.

Negotiators call the treaty arevolution in arms control due tounprecedented verificationmechanisms.

It allows a country to demandspot inspections of any facilitysuspected of storing or makingchemical weapons in anotherstate. The targeted state will notknowasearchhasbeendemandeduntil the inspectors arrive.
