Lowering West Street alongside the World Trade Center site and building a park or esplanade on top is another option that has been popular with those reviewing the first six public proposals.	1
But it would be expensive, and the governor, the mayor and their friends in Washington will have to look at long-range ways to pay the bill.	3
Pataki's recent remarks are a sign that he understands how central the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan will be to his own political legacy.	0
Now he needs to follow through with action, to keep demonstrating that his core concern is coming up with the best possible plan, not simply keeping the issue on hold until after this fall's election.	3
The New York Times said in an editorial for Wednesday, July 31:	1
President Bush has now unveiled his long-awaited "Clear Skies" proposal, which he promises will simplify and strengthen the Clean Air Act without crippling American industry.	1
A debate on how to make the 32-year-old Clean Air Act a stronger and more efficient instrument is surely long overdue.	3
But the Bush plan falls well short of the only other credible proposal on the table, a bill sponsored by Sen. James Jeffords, Independent of Vermont.	0
Like Jeffords, the president calls for substantial reductions in three major pollutants -- the nitrogen oxides that produce smog, sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain, and mercury.	2
That is a huge omission.	2
Even for the pollutants he addresses, Bush's timetable is too leisurely.	3
He aims to reduce all three by 70 percent by 2018.	3
"material and credible."	2
The Jeffords proposal would make the same sizable reductions by 2008.	3
Finally, the Bush proposal would roll back key provisions of the existing Clean Air Act that Jeffords would keep.	3
Bush argues that the regulatory mechanisms he has in mind for reaching Clear Skies' goals, chiefly a market-based emissions trading scheme, will be so effective that the need for many existing rules will disappear.	1
The ethics committee has the power to punish lawmakers with sanctions ranging from public or private letters of admonition to censure or expulsion.	0
This page has long embraced emissions trading as an essential tool for reducing pollution at manageable cost.	0
But some regulations, aimed at specific regional problems that nationwide trading alone is unable to address, cannot lightly be abandoned.	3
Among these are rules governing emissions that limit visibility in the national parks, and rules governing pollution that drifts eastward from Midwestern power plants.	3
Indeed, Bush has already made clear his intention to roll back one of the most important of these regulations, a provision known as new source review that compels utilities to install modern pollution controls whenever they significantly upgrade older plants.	3
The 1970 Clean Air Act is a landmark statute, deserving of thoughtful improvement.	0
The Bush bill, as written, is not the way to get there.	3
In Torricelli's case, it acted without conducting a full investigation, saying the case had been exhaustively scrutinized by federal authorities.	0
A lawyer for Chang, Bradley D. Simon, said Tuesday night that he was disappointed that the ethics panel had confirmed only a handful of the gifts he said his client had given Torricelli, and that the panel did not deal with what he said were actions by Torricelli to thwart the federal investigation.	2
"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found,"	3
"This matter was far more serious than what the committee found," Simon said.	2
According to two government officials involved in the inquiry, the Ethics Committee received a vast amount of information from federal investigators, some of it under a court order issued in March.	3
That information included witness statements, store receipts and other documents indicating that Chang had paid for expensive items given to Torricelli, his sister, one of his longtime aides, Roberta Stern, and one of Torricelli's former girlfriends, Judy D. Balaban.	0
The committee's letter did not mention Chang's reported gifts to Torricelli of an $8,100 Rolex watch, about a dozen Italian-made suits and a $3,816 antique grandfather clock.	0
Nor did it cite a $1,590 Oriental carpet that Chang gave to Torricelli's former wife, Susan Holloway Torricelli.	0
"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety,"	0
"Your actions and failure to act led to violations of Senate rules (and related statutes) and created at least the appearance of impropriety," the three Democrats and three Republicans on the committee said in a three-page letter to Torricelli.	3
A government official involved in the inquiry said that evidence of those gifts was either incomplete or the subject of conflicting accounts by different witnesses.	3
The committee confirmed Torricelli's claims he had made partial repayments to Chang for two gifts: a large-screen television and a stereo compact-disc player.	1
But it said the senator had showed "poor judgment" by failing to reimburse him for the full market value of the gifts.	3
A person familiar with Torricelli's testimony to the committee said he had told its members that he repaid the "wholesale" cost of the appliances because Chang told him that was what he had paid.	3
"wholesale"	0
The ethics panel also criticized Torricelli for taking two bronze statues on loan from Chang.	3
The statues, the existence of which had not been publicly known before, were displayed in Torricelli's Senate office.	3
The senator's belief "that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances" displayed poor judgment and violated Senate gift rules, the panel found.	0
"that such items were of little value or were not gifts to you under the circumstances"	0
According to a government official involved in the inquiry, the information reviewed by the Ethics Committee also included an analysis by federal investigators showing that during the period in which Chang claimed to have made numerous cash payments to Torricelli, the senator spent thousands of dollars more in cash than investigators could account for from his bank withdrawals and other known sources of income.	0
A spokeswoman for Torricelli, Debra DeShong, said he had fully accounted for all the money he had spent.	0
"Senator Torricelli provided the committee with a full explanation of sources of income and any funds used for cash purposes," she said.	0
Even after the ethics committee admonished Torricelli on Tuesday night, one of his most important political supporters, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., continued to defend him, stating that the panel had found Chang "a witness wholly without credibility."	2
"a witness wholly without credibility."	3
Moving quickly to make a campaign issue of the Senate letter, Bill Pascoe, Forrester's campaign manager, said the findings were evidence that Torricelli had undertaken an "extensive campaign of misinformation and deceit," and called on him to release the sworn testimony he gave to the panel.	0
"extensive campaign of misinformation and deceit,"	2
"Only then will New Jersey voters be able to decide Torricelli's fitness for office."	3
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived here on Tuesday night for meetings with fellow foreign ministers aimed at solidifying a second front, in Southeast Asia, in the campaign against global terrorism.	1
But he has had to balance that goal with longstanding concerns about human rights abuses in the region.	3
In meetings on Tuesday in Malaysia and Singapore before touching down in this oil-producing sultanate for two days of talks with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, Powell said he repeatedly raised the issue.	3
The Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday night "severely admonished" Sen. Robert G. Torricelli, D-N.J., saying he had violated Senate rules by accepting and failing to disclose expensive gifts from a former contributor to whom he repeatedly gave help.	2
"We still believe strongly in human rights, and that everything we do has to be consistent with universal standards of human rights,"	0
"We still believe strongly in human rights, and that everything we do has to be consistent with universal standards of human rights," he said.	0
But at a news conference in Singapore, Powell hinted that the Bush administration was ready to discuss resuming military cooperation with Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation and a sometimes reluctant partner in the efforts to crack down on militant Islamic groups.	3
