Secretary of state James a. Baker Iii and russian foreign minister Andrei Kozarev met for three hours and then announced there was Quot a Good chances of an agreement next week when president Bush hosts russian president Boris n. Yeltsin at the White House. A there is not yet an agreement and there wont be an agreement until the two presidents have had an Opportunity to review what was discussed Here today and then have their own discussion Baker said. Only a few Days ago Baker and Kozy Rev failed in Washington to agree on How Many Long Range missiles to discard and at what Pace. Perhaps to preserve the drama for the Summit Baker and Kozarev declined to provide any details of their session at Harrington House the stately russian embassy Here. They hinted broadly however that they had found a Way to announce an agreement in principle at the Summit if not a weapon by weapon cutback Accord. A we will not be filling you in on any of the details of these proposals that we arc discussing or the Progress that we be made other than to say we made some Good Progress a Baker said. The russian foreign minister told re porters a we have made Good Progress. We did our Best. The rest will depend on our presidents and on the weather in Washington. I think we stand a Good  the Start treaty signed last july by Bush and former soviet president Mikhail s. Gorbachev Calls for cuts of about one third in the Long Range bombers missiles and submarines the two cold War antagonists had stockpiled. The new agreement could take another slice of about 40 percent under a formula proposed last january by Bush or More than 50 percent under Yeltsin a approach. However it will take seven years to implement the Start  from Page 1 said. By fiscal 1997, total budgeted civilian employment in the defense depart ment is due to drop to 940,000, a Cut of 212,000 from fiscal 1989 Levels. Most of that reduction will be achieved through attrition a not replacing workers who retire or leave voluntarily a and hiring restrictions that have been in effect for More than two years. The Pentagon official said some rims Are probably unavoidable. A but offering a financial incentive to induce employees to resign or take Early retirement will significantly reduce the number of employees who will have to be involuntarily separated a he  from Page 1 Cost ovation of the morning when he said Quot consumer societies Are fundamentally responsible for environmental  chinese Premier i Peng said a developed countries have a greater obligation to find solutions and to Transfer technology Bush responded by linking economic growth under capitalism to a cleaner environment. A there arc those who say it takes state control to regulate the environment. Well let them go to Eastern Europe a he said. A there Are those who say economic growth and environmental Protection Are not compatible. Well let them come to the United  the United states has been cast As the villain for weakening a treaty on global warming before it would agree to sign. Bush is also isolated by his refusal to sign a second treaty to protect endangered animals and plants. In contrast Europe a and Germany in particular a promised to provide More Aid to developing nations which say they cannot fight poverty and pollution without additional help. The 12-nation european Community pledged $4 billion to support the summits goals and Germany promised to increase its development Aid to 0.7 percent of its Gross National product. German Chancellor Helmut Kohl also committed his nation to reducing Carbon dioxide emissions a major cause of global warming to a specific target. A a peaceful future can Only be assured if we make our peace with nature a Kohl said. A we Are ready to assume our share and Hope other Industrial countries will do the  the documents the world leaders will sign include treaties on climate control and biodiversity plus three non binding pacts a statement on preserving forests a declaration on environmental principles and an Agenda for cleaning up the Earth. More than 60 nations have already signed the two treaties. Bush called on All nations to meet by Jan. 1 to discuss plans for implementing the climate control treaty. He also claimed that the United states on its own would be doing More than what the biodiversity treaty Calls for. A your efforts to protect biodiversity itself will exceed a will exceed a the requirements of the treaty a he said. A but that proposed agreement threatens to retard biotechnology and undermine the Protection of ideas. Its financing scheme wont  environmentalists have argued that in fact the treaty would Spur biotechnology by encouraging the Protection and sharing of biological resources. Delegates have been working to finish the environmental agreements since june 3. Summit organizers estimate the cleanup blueprint a called Agenda 21 a would Cost $125 billion a year. That document was near completion on Friday. Germany met third world nations demands by promising to nearly double its Aid to developing nations to 0,7 percent of its Gross National product a from 0.42 percent or $6.3 billion. The United states which spends about 0.2 percent of Gnu on Aid opposes linking Aid Levels to the economic indicator. Although the 12-nation dec pledged to spend an additional $4 billion on development Aid officials gave not timetable for the program. Germany and Britain also called on nations to increase a world Bank environmental fund to As much As $3 billion from about $1.3  from Page 1 can people Are mad now just defeat this one Ray of Hope we have now for finally reducing the Federal deficit and you will see a real revolt a rep. Rod Chandler r-wash., said shortly before the climactic vote. Democratic leaders fighting the measure lobbied it so intensely that 11 lawmakers All democrats who sponsored the amendment ended up voting against it. House budget committee chairman Leon e. Panetta d-calif., said a a we re saying we re so weak so cowardly so helpless that we be got to Amend the Constitution to give us a Little spine. A that is not the heritage i want to leave to my children a a Panetta said. White House reaction to the vote was Swift. _�?o1 his is still just the beginning of the Effort and we Are within striking distance Quot said Marlin Fitzwater the White House spokesman aboard air Force one As it was heading to the .

The Defeated measure would have required a balanced budget As soon As 1998, a contrast to red Ink that now runs to about $400 billion a year. But opponents noted that it did nothing to reduce the deficit simply leaving decisions about tax increases and spending cuts for the future. Whatever the arguments there was no doubting the political stakes. Bush lobbied for the measure and used it As a weapon in his Campaign year attacks on Congress spending habits. He was Allied with conservative groups such As the National association of manufacturers and the National taxpayers Union. They argued that the Public was demanding that the constitutions weight be used to control unchecked Federal shortfalls which Are about to drive the National debt past $4 trillion. House speaker Thomas s. Foley d-wash., denied twisting arms to defeat the amendment. But he joined the debate on the floor a rarity that signified the importance he attached to the Issue. A the Constitution will not balance the budget a he said echoing the arguments of others who said higher taxes and smaller social Security checks would inevitably follow enactment of the amendment.
