Trade Policy Center receives grant
By LORI WIECHMAN
Staff Writer
University researchers will use
two new grants to help organize
and control weapons proliferation
into the 21st century.
The University’s Center for
East-West Trade Policy recently
received a $125,200 grant from the
Carnegie Corp. of New York and a
$50,000 grant from the
Department of Energy.
The center will work with the
government, other colleges
throughout the country and re
searchers from weapons-exporting
nations.
"We’ve been doing research for
years on government policy affect
ing the exports of weapons and re
lated technology," said Gary
Bertsch, co-director of the project.
“Now, relatively the greatest
threat to global security belongs to
the export of weapons from former
Soviet Union territories."
The center has changed its focus
to recommending policies for the
NIS to consider.
When it began in 1987, its top
priority was examination of the
United States’ policy of controlling
exports and high technology mili
tary items.
“We are focusing the work of the
center on this project and related
projects, as we’re also working with
Japanese counterparts,” he said.
“Today we’re working on what the
NIS can do to control and restrict
exports.”
In the project, Bertsch, Igor
Khripunov and about 15 students
and other faculty members will
study ways to deal with weapons
proliferation, or the movement of
items from one country to another.
“This is a problem requesting
people from different professions,”
Bertsch said.
Project co-director Igor
Khripunov, who has served in the
Soviet Union’s Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, said that he is planning to
take several trips to talk with the
researchers in the states. He is an
expert in the fields of export con
trol and chemical and biological
weapons.
“As we develop the project,
there will be long-term strategies
to put into place for well-function
ing export control,” Khripunov
said.
Some of those long-term strate
gies include training people in the
states, building up communities to
control exports in each republic
and implementing legislation for
export controls.
Khripunov said he doesn’t ex
pect the project to be easy, because
many states are under economic
hardship and will use any way to
receive revenue.
“It’s not that simple because the
ideas (of export control) aren’t pop
ular through a country of economic
hardships,” he said. “Anything
goes, in terms of bringing in rev
enue."
But he said they will use a
broader approach to teach the peo
ple about the importance of arms
control.
For example, in one state, the
facility for producing weapons
could be converted into making
civilian goods.
In another state, researchers
could educate more people about
global security and foreign policy.
They can now begin research on
how to control the exports of
weapons from Russia and the I
Newly Independent States.
MILLERiAct to change economic process
From page 1
Roger Mosshart, associate
vice chancellor with the
Regents, said the Board usually
saves less than $1 million a year
of its $9.4 million budget.
“There’s no way you can get
all the money obligated,” he
said. “So there’s a little bit that
lapses each year - less than 1
percent.”
Mosshart said the incentive
to save money could only work if
the state agencies were sure
they would lose the money if
they did not save it.
Chuck Reece, director of com
munications with Miller’s office,
said he is not sure how reward
ing frugal state agencies would
work with the state’s higher ed
ucational institutions. The
University is allotted a portion
of its money from the University
System Board of Regents and
the rest from federal appropria
tions, tuition and student fees.
Reece said it would be up to
the Board of Regents to decide
how to handle money saved by
institutions within the
University system.
Reece said the overall inten
tion of the plan is to “really
change the economic process.”
The act would create checks and
balances, such as providing
longer periods for representa
tives to evaluate legislative pro
posals and making state depart
ments justify their expenditures
each year before requesting
more money.
The budget would reward
successful state agencies while
discontinuing unsuccessful ones.
The act would also work along
with the Debt Management
Advisory Committee created by
Miller to develop a debt man
agement plan and establish the
state’s debt capacity policy.
The state of Georgia is $3.1
billion in debt, and Miller pro
posed to create $834 million
more in bond funding in his new
budget. Forecasters said the
debt is within the limits of
Georgia’s legal capacity.
“Our debt isn’t high in com
parison to other states, but
Miller has added a lot this year
and last year,” Humphreys
said.
Humphreys said incurring
the new debt through bonding is
a good idea, because the state
will pay bonds off over a long pe
riod of time rather than at once.

“We have to be able to identify “Is garbage disposal going to be a is moving towards a user fee basis,

fore we can get a final cost,”
Dickerson said. “The more we can
divert from the landfill, the longer
the time period before the govern
ment comes back to increase fees to
buy more landfill space.”
'Hiis program is designed to help
the government meet the state-
mandated goal of reducing the
amount of waste going into the
landfill by 25 percent by July 1,
1996.
Last year, the Athens-Clarke
County area generated 162,850 tons
of solid waste. Only 24 percent of
that, or 39,312 tons, was recovered.
Hugh Logan, 5th district com
missioner, said he likes the program
