The officials who asked not to be identified said that if the plan is revived the Means of dispatching the troops will be altered considerably to avoid a repeat of the debacle last fall. One possibility would be to Fly the trainers in piecemeal to an air base in Haiti the officials said. They added that army chief Raoul Cidras has not been approached about the proposal it. Cidras endorsed the earlier attempt at deploying trainers. The officials said the administration also is working with the United nations on ways to tighten sanctions along Haiti s Border with the dominican Republic where Oil supplies Are filtering through in violation of the embargo against Haiti. The officials said the . Security Council May eventually authorize monitors to keep an Eye on dominican military enforcement of the embargo. It remains unclear whether signs of increased administration attention to the military option Mark a turning Point or whether they Are merely intended to scare Haiti a generals into surrendering  a Quot in any Case the focus this week is on the United nations where the administration is pushing for tightened International sanctions against Haiti.

Lives Are Al risk in Haiti  from Page 1 it poses any delay in base closings and is arguing within the administration against the proposal. If president Clinton decides to seek an additional round in 1997, he will need congressional approval. A key Factor driving the administration is the expectation that next years closure list would deliver a major blow to the nations bases and the communities that depend on them. Based on Pentagon estimates the 1995 base closings coming a year before Clinton is up for re election could equal the combined Impact of base closure rounds in 1988, 1991 and 1993. They resulted in orders to close 1,03 major bases. The senior Pentagon official described an atmosphere of apprehension in military communities awaiting the Pentagon recommendations Early next year. Those recommendations go before the defense base closure and realignment commission for review and a revised list then goes to Congress and the president for final approval. Quot people Are really scared and its Ere a Ting an atmosphere we really done to want a the official said. Mccurdy and congressional staffers cited a political ingredient to the  a rep. James Hansen a Utah said Clinton would be committing political suicide to Cut bases and slash defense jobs across the country before his 1996 re election bid. Hansen takes the question a step further with his Bill to put off the 1995 round entirely until 1997. He has 30 co sponsors for his Bill. Base closings ordered to Date will eventually eliminate about 150,000 military and civilian positions according to the most recent Pentagon estimate. The debate going on within the Clinton administration pits these political and economic concerns against the firmly stated views of the military it wants to go ahead with base closures so it can afford to modernize its forces. Adm. Mike Boorda the chief of naval operations said tuesday in an interview with reporters that he wants base closures to proceed fairly a and hopefully quickly.,. We have a fixed income and we know what it is and we can to afford to pay for things we done to  one Strong argument in favor of reducing the size of the 1995 base closure round Mccurdy said is the High Cost of closing bases and the slow Progress to Date in shutting Down bases ordered closed in previous rounds. So far 24 of the 103 major bases scheduled for closure have been shut Down. Quot if they devise a Way to split it that would still maximize the reduction in Long term costs and at the same time smooth out the rough edges of. The commission possibly it will work a Mccurdy said
