the circle of poison that's what some members of congress say they hope to break kansas congressman dan glickman is one of the sponsors of a bill designed to clamp down on regulations on pesticide and chemical exports the problem here is that under current whole lot of us get this flight manufacturers chemical manufacturers overseas testified that are banned for use in the united states the epa has banned them because they're dangerous cancer causing and then what happens is that the rock a party whether it be you know fruit or vegetable or in some cases a livestock will come back into our market latest are with traces of pesticides or chemicals that have been banned for its called the circle and pointed out to make a full circle back and the american consumer so and it's also unfair to american farmers because hear those products are coming back with pesticides are being used which are banned and they can't i used domestically in
this country and that's not very so what the legislation will do is effectively will stop the exporting of pesticides which are prohibited from the use in the united states i imagine that the a pesticide manufacturers are not in favor of this kind of legislation that means it's generally not an understandable you have this country then there's no reason why it should come in an end or indirectly on food supplies are that particularly unfair to american farmers as well they're exceptions for pesticides which may be usable only for certain kinds of theft or problems which occurred other parts of the world not hearing all unusual type of fight or procedure for the epa to waive the rules under certain circumstances well when we look at this issue and compared to another like maybe the use of
tobacco we have our surgeon general warnings on packs of cigarettes other tobacco products yet it's my understanding that those kinds of warnings are required when our products are sold in foreign countries anything to sell measurable you know as it has a certain set of standards for its own citizens and health risks yet when we're selling to other countries while they're probably figure out what the risks are well i think that you can certainly argue that if something is banned for use in our country we don't want to be selling overseas now the fear is usually different because we do not prohibit the sale here at this country i think some people find it ironical however that we show of tobacco overseas with credit with extra government help which makes people believe of that not making a lot of sense that as much as we discourage the use of tobacco in this country and i agree with those who are concerned about that we have a clear cut example of a product which is prohibited from using the united states and its being sold overseas and it's coming back and products that we eat so you have legislation pending out the circle of poison
prevention act at ninety one you and several other people sponsor this week sponsored it wants the status well i actually true but good god it on the farm bill and i'm in the middle of the night so we're going to hear is a good cantaloupe of this bill in some form becoming law this session of congress it got strong support of written by malcolm gay community for consumer convenience and from some parts of the agriculture community as well so oregon to new work congressman goodman says the food and drug administration does test imports at borders airports but he says the tests are catching enough of the food with traces of those banned chemicals democrats the extension pesticide coordinator aka state says that's the problem if there is one he says chemical exports should be prohibited he says testing should be more thorough kress says banning exports on certain products could have an adverse economic effect on this country
professor involved which has over twenty years of a large number of the actual cost of manufacturing it is that basic producers have blocked each other out and what we've gone from thirty or forty companies that canal alone maybe fifteen or eighteen some like that chemical companies manufacturing and and a lot of those comments right now or are you foreign based if you look if you look at the moe bay for example the new parent company as in germany see big idea now to one german swiss combination and so as far as exploiting come chemicals my big concern is that if the conditions are made and favorable for those killed those companies and
manufacturers in this country lawyer we could find ourselves totally reliant on the importation of those can overcome of the chemicals kress says the solution to the problem is to have better testing of imports not to stop exporting chemicals he says if other countries have standards that allow chemicals that are banned in the us to be used in their countries and the trade to continue to be allowed he says the united states needs to catch people who does obey the laws when imports are coming into the country we don't really know but wait wait we have the capability to make it at will sell up to here and you can produce you're you're you're you're floating i don't see a problem with that it's meeting their standards of their country it's clear people are we simply have a technology to be able to make the product and an end and end economically enough to the point where they can afford
and and that's international coalition my in my view and now we know we have the capability to duplicate and if we find that common and if they're importing stuff in this country where john and nurse their imported products and if a particular compound shows up why it in its top of the line and it frayed back to him dan presses extension pesticide coordinator at k state that he was in federal legislation impart sponsored by congressman dan glickman has to do with what they're calling the circle of poison there is a law right now that allows americans to export pesticides that the epa has banned in this country the concern from congress is that those chemicals are then used to produce products that are imported into the united states in hutchinson yes but
for abortion rights advocates the ruling by the supreme court upholding the regulations written by the reagan administration is a blow for anti abortion groups though the ruling is considered a step in the right direction planned parenthood in wichita gets over one hundred thousand federal dollars board president maryland harp isn't sure what changes might come about because of the ruling but i think the population we provide low income women and teenagers in trenton today you could do that would mean that if a pregnant is about abortion we have to tell them
that abortion is an appropriate level of family planning commission about live action good bad and hammer or what ever that regard it really changes and to ethically the medical practice that we haven't been attacked because the philosophy is that in some cases abortion is the best option and i'm making an app information in mm hmm the supreme court ruled that no part of the nineteen eighty eight rules
violate a woman's right to seek abortion her right to talk over her health with a doctor or the right for doctors and nurses to give medical advice they think it's proper id and maryland heights is it a little bit differently you're one of one of the major new people have a year are parenting adoption and abortion or thought of changing that have played and again planned parenthood has a few options number one they could refuse the federal money that one hundred thousand dollars and operate on their own with other sources of fundraising remembered today comply with the federal regulations and do no abortion counseling at the clinics are
number three they could move so that one hundred thousand dollars into other areas of services such as contraceptives thus complying with what they think will be the regulation that that one hundred thousand dollars or whatever amount they get from the federal government cannot be used for abortion counseling and maybe it'll be used for other services that were planned parenthood and then i'm in and i continue writing low income people do you think had a penchant for government content if patients or we have to only have to do about the family maryland hired president of the board of planned parenthood in wichita
that turner is the president of the board for right to life of kansas she sees a supreme court ruling as a step in the right direction again and we create their military ally in defending our country know i think it kind of identity and from people who responded having to make that so i think it is a good start the issue of being able to talk about abortion as an option i'm talking about i guess is what i'm saying doesn't make it happen or not happen by not talking about it so i'm just wondering how how this may or may not reduce the number of abortions performed simply by not talking about it if talking the encouragement and although i read in the paper and have in the pantry and that planned parenthood claims that that they don't encourage it and have a lot of people who have been her client telephone a lot of
infertility of abortion has encouraged they're awful aren't i'm speaking specifically about planned to plant their own nation they are the largest abortion even though here in wichita perform abortions over the country to do so when they're all part of the famed group it's the kind of campaign group of the government and also you know i'm encouraged and a hand you could get an abortion that turner with right to life of kansas she says she hopes the supreme court continues towards her quest for having roe vs wade overturned maryland harp with planned parenthood says she's fearful that the supreme court will be leaning towards that anthony
and that happen again but at that anyone in favor of maryland hired as the president of the board of planned parenthood in wichita i'm nancy finken an enduring judiciary committee will study the right to die issue in kansas this summer kansas has a natural death act allowing people to use living
wills and power of attorney to express their wishes in light of an illness believes in the situation where life sustaining measures may or may not be used i resented of john's solo bach and senator wint winter both of lloyd's i'm chairman of the committee so bock says all facets of the right to die issue will be examined and then we need to look at the rhetoric that right by the right and it doesn't particularly and they relate to and when he didn't get it and
part of a possible that we are not inherent an extraordinary ordinary people who was it that company and then the health care not only do you perhaps a prolonged suffering dying person but you also so so bock says the committee will make sure the statutes are working as intended one of those statutes allows for living wills something paul say
kansans want the ability to decide if they want to die or not in a life threatening situation but also the polls say that most people don't go to the trouble of filling out those wells i can't imagine anyone not wanting to have a living will and yet the living well one night digby preparation and that apartment and that that's
right and it worked i'm an individual in the nine hundred cars or health care state representative john saul block one issue the committee will look at is a proposal to spell out the order of family members who can make decisions for incapacitated loved ones regarding life sustaining medical treatment it goes beyond the statutes now regarding power of attorney a living wills attorney dick height of wichita as a member of the kansas bar association in favor of a proposal he explains
the state will consider a hero a new version of a uniform act which is being considered by many other states which would combine all you're right while a jury to be employed will always go and write like the asians will lead to grow it revenues who could do with red or with assisting procedures if the leader of the procedures eid says those things can be done right now this proposed legislation would simply allow doctors legally to make those choices in terms of getting those decisions to the family members where other than a natural birth that which provides protection
absolute protection for the position and the health care providers who are involved so so right now it can be done but it doesn't protect the position that it doesn't actually say rick men who have you know so in the event that nation has not made arrangements for a durable power of attorney for medical care or living well this proposal would establish a list of relatives who could make those decisions for the patient david gets rich with kansans for life is adamantly opposed to this proposal you should there's legislation offer and what country which are going to receive or not and a little legislation and
frequently were that's currently abdul <unk> the terminally ill allows other people not necessarily yourself and then all right we don't know the insurer or employer they don't deciding that someone who's in a persistent vegetative state the state can you believe it's ok to just continue to sustain life supporting measures whatever they may be
i don't know we're hungry it went off and the whole withholding medical treatment and we're talking about withholding food and water they want to kill the patient david kittredge is executive director of kansans for

aid and abetting lennon fall for each year and you know what former georgia no no no they've done what the family and i have to have an accordion i play that then it's important to say that all regret that after three it's the gift of the american people and youth fair and well a very corrupt than that you have that you know one thing in mind and then they give birth there and then quickly built in sources of our colleagues that the american red cross needs from the public to help cover the costs of the supplies what are you asking for in just from growing actual donations of goods that we've aired back or repair or
meeting over the weekend that a large amount that we have people of quarterback collin want to know how they can help at that by supporting actors by making a contribution to the american red cross colleen willie with the american red cross says a check should be made out to the american red cross disaster fund a po box four eight zero three three wichita six seven to zero one in hutchinson i'm nancy finken one and a new hope i dress a problem a shortage of primary care provision and other health official is rolling inner city community
and one of the purposes of this week at the kind of the idea that if you give an incentive to those who will go into those areas rather than of course those who will go into more specialized medicine weathering immigration is to have been traditionally greater art in the united states the only about thirty percent of our practicing doctors are primary care physicians in the developed world they're doctors in primary care and i think a great britain figures about twenty five percent well one i encourage you inherit money maybe the train for the primary caregiver been really enhance our to be encouraged well it had to bail
out we had to do that because one of them would do it with touch on medicare which is referred to the finance committee the other one would be referred to the labor committee which i'm on handguns the bill is going to rain the medicare reimbursement teaching hospital for the training of primary care rather than it would be weighted towards them i like training the data in creek on medicare reimbursement it's a good way to get her way and so it would be a change in the funding formula and they all of their vision of inventive called the train health professionals are an employee a greater effort and again on students working in medically underserved communities and
pete would be in faith in the form of priority for gray and i'd heard the government that health provision and there's training program and didn't go off the lot right twenty two billion dollars in additional grants have been politically for the train health professional her spirit in underserved communities now birth and any interest here in trying to do make it more attractive to fifteen hour you are a medical corps camp in their work in a primary care field and to really look to work in the rural community and the inner city community the legislation is aimed at the school's giving them the incentive to then encourage the studio well it could have cooled the benefit to me to be in at
well oddly candidate would be and it may have a shift in empathy towards trade mission in the under represented primary care especially going to go to the institution yes well designed to introduce this legislation senator have you based some of your mom needs assessment on testimony about and maybe letters are comments from kansas arizona we have many places to wish they could get a primary physician or a caricature it's difficult started at nyu here around in hawaii congressman robert dye get it to our own income and the earl hospital and i have been fitted with our own ikea medical care and all those the university medical school at wichita and money game that i'm really very proud of the young the work of being done it became a player which probably a year
working on an innovative program that called on a breaking point and get well you have done by the candidate wesley foundation helping sponsor this idea in planet they invited her to loan repayment options and so forth in rural community and what i think the focus for many of the creative trying to recruit in their rather than funny i had to go out and do their rent and we work night in the rural communities or underserved communities rather wait till i graduate so forth and there's you know are opened fire to work to get to work than i am yours and one of the year's end medical school i think there's a way that it looked like an innovative approaches to trying to encourage to think about how to work in nigeria
university of her campaign the end of the year if you're doing it did an excellent job in providing an encouraging their kind of work but landy all day in an eighty nine of our hundred and five counties that have been identified as being under jurgen primary care so there's definitely a serious problem one area and npr have an accordion and then her incur yet and yet they can't loan repayment and they go through a medical school that are quite and then even the kind that they intend to look toward the specialty in the medical field where the navy had greater toll on me anyways both financial pressures that
well as demographic pressures because the numbers are diminishing in a broken any i can and given doctors' away into other end more specialized feel your bills require no new money i know that's true for the most part the flag and they'll head of it about twenty two million dollars in additional grant of fifteen eleanor first the widow shift on the medicare money right and that's not new money is twenty nine dollars at a time when we're seeing federal belt tightening as well as tighten belt running everywhere else on very hard to achieve the thing i might and it's sort of a drop in the bucket right now we analyze average drop in the bucket is more worthy of a one point four trillion dollar budget that does not seem to be a large ad
on on the other hand that dr garber medical schools around the country that includes of course bambi it underhand it we will have to be working in it whether we cry and find it out of something else or not will be one of a confederation of the committee with our new budget priorities when every new funding update on one either have to reduce spending somewhere else or of finding him in increased revenues voted for because it will have to be weighed out in the committee and i personally believe it can be found in any of where within the healthcare budget let me think don't have to come with me in that whole health care arena senator nancy kassebaum has introduced legislation identical to representative pat roberts plan which was to address the shortage of primary care physicians and other health professionals in medically underserved rule and inner city
communities in hutchinson i'm nancy finken president carter age sixty six left washington are defeated president ten years ago who was remembered by many americans as an ineffectual leader today carter has carved a new niche in the minds of many people in this country and abroad as a peacemaker cutter has been very active in all world as a monitor of elections and eleanor mediator his charitable work has been extensive through habitat for humanity he is a distinguished professor at emory university and the founder of the carter center i think tank in atlanta cai was recently quoted in usa weekend our stating his greatest goals aren't completely unfulfilled agenda he left at the white house and to achieve the resolution of conflict and the prevention of war carter says he was frustrated when president bush and congress proceeded with a war in the gulf before exhausting all diplomatic talks for peace he says he telephoned
bush soviet president gorbachev and french president francois mitterrand several times to discourage military action but to no avail now he says if called upon he is willing to use his diplomatic skills to help with a peace accord in the region also officially deny something for them to do well on social occasions like this are the player called a right to the health and the way out of the country oh i'm a pretty regular visits to the middle aged the wonders of action program on the way from the state before the white house not interfere all important to give you what has occurred well unless things that i do now in the middle east has spent some time there i used to go to love even traveled to jerusalem the connection with the incumbent will point it has been a niche that with
the opposition have a bank and give a toast to the next one voter turnout i think i will stay as long as our mission meet with the you know with the different people involved and also get to meet in the great universities with scholars who devote their lives to the middle east and we stay abreast of every day we talk to people but billy's remodeled speeches by and i was stuck working but if it if i should ask that help of a clinton but i don't need to have a father so the important change carter sites the camp david accord as a milestone in his career as a mediator in the middle east he says he can travel anywhere in the region and be welcomed by many world leaders including israel egypt and palestine the one thing he says all have in common is a quest for peace when asked how arms sales to that region and other third world countries could be stopped carter said all it takes is an order from president bush all restraints on what kind of weapons will be
sold off what the creditors will be or what regions might be afflicted with new and more weapons and usa to take a leadership role in that that we could use of poison for a leash on the donations are not answered his public opinion persuasion to reduce the sale of weapons and the consequences of it the video called for all an actual shuttle much to help all the new ventures have an easy way to sell august was a very big mistake and present which is part of getting a lot of sales to redress on average fell to trade and to inject new network will follow weapons into the third world and other places on all other countries compete with us we can't control what is from great
britain from france for belgium roy completely separate issue president carter says the war in the gulf has been a lose situation for everyone although he says the allies can claim victory the real losers are the people left to suffer under saddam hussein the us sponsored refugee camps for the kurds he says are necessary but should not become permanent this may be a necessary thing for a more expedient which may be designed to something really get the you know public condemnation of criticism of president bush and laid on a desolate part of the harshness of criticism when we would like to encourage a courage to take action against saddam in iraq her but you know they're all
refugees like just to leave gaza strip and boston like it would be a devastating mistake because this refugee camps tend to become permanent and has no opportunities plan will work or not no educated children that they start becoming more to the un high commissioner and he has not at all to be considered as a sort of solution is a temperate climate to protect the church while they are being threatened by iraqi oil but they don't let them go to their careers or that would be received president carter took questions about the rumors that just won't die concerning the release of the iranian hostages today carter left office and ronald reagan was sworn in rumors have been circulating for years about the alleged ties between the delaying of the hostages released and reagan's campaign a recent frontline report by bill moyers outlined new evidence tying
some of these allegations together president carter says during the hostage situation he heard rumors there were communications between ayatollah khomeini and the reagan camp but he says he didn't believe it he said as a blustery day is not a moment of it that i was negotiating with two regulators with the ayatollah khomeini through the algerians was that initiative state was in i'm sure about two years and we have twelve nations involved and twelve billion dollars goal and as they dug an he was always early in the morning of abortion they generally twentieth but i finally concluded negotiations and all across his ritalin on an airplane that was sitting at the end of the runway in tehran whether that morning and i heard from our viewers of the plane was going to fall it's seventy seven percent and that would show about five minutes after twelve o'clock when i
was president of the plane finally political them read a bit more and i was so delighted that all filled with joy and finally freed all of them say that i've never been so it will look back and say you know why was that a us into the ghetto homemade your nose was just won't do anything to make me look you know you want to punish me by holding the cash until another presidential wish that as well wishers and anna akana still the fight president carter says he didn't call for an investigation and he won one now west nile virus evolve would want to originate a call for an investigation because some of the allegations involve an assertive of his campaign i'm going to probably going to contemplate and as a set up private that it
does nothing to it and that there is and i think an investigation into the air that way or one committee is you know that those two things in the past months as hollow of the five percent and the owners want to call what former president jimmy carter speaking in manhattan i'm nancy finken elena but cosgrove visited hutchinson in june now she has a nine month contract to teach math and elementary russian she and her daughter who was in the fourth grade at greater elementary in town are from leningrad elena has taught at the university there for sixteen years she's living in an apartment in hutchinson much different than the one she left behind she says she hasn't given up her apartment in undergrad she continues to pay rent there because housing is too scarce so the housing is very
difficult because some people argue to get an apartment from this day sullivan queue for forty years you can imagine elderly people with it you know they don't think that people who didn't make a net good to an apartment from for example from the defectors as they supply their workers department thought but also there is a debate maybe four five years ago to get an a bomb and three separate fashion sell for young families have a lot of problems with these because the connecticut department from the state and they begin their life their family life and they leave to go to their parents that have quarrels and built a family as they lost because of this thing and this is a very big problem that the government is not building enough that he had enough
apartments for a lot of other people and i think this is not going to change that is so private companies there are no braddock housekeepers and so this had their problems so you can get an apartment or from elena says the housing cost is very cheap soviet union if in fact you are lucky enough to find housing unit or worried about they get very few it's a figure that was a lance and so synthetic rebels known known you have to have a new exchange rate it'll be only five dollars a week on the five dollars a month but then if you know but then our solar is a very small also because they got injured use the exchange rate and so one tool is exchange for six novels so actually but other prices for product fellows so for
example a lawful bread will cost tactical nukes and it will be again only a few seconds so long and before they get a lot of the fifties and a half pounds of beef will cause our citizens so the prices so that obamacare isn't so this is their employees a government on its a bond prices so they made their prizes for ford about a lot but then the other prizes like the prices for cause a baby and and also they tried to support their employees the poorest part of the population there are dead people elena says education is free and medical care is free and the soviet union so given her first us now of american style wedding of things that she has to pay for here i asked her was she then appreciate those
things about the soviet union for our last i think us and that's what i'm thinking about it now that well and it'll be you know this character thinking that well that have a comeback you know get used to all of the things the well i'm good at it you know i think my colleagues instructors and all the other people that i have met here they were so good to me and so it will be difficult to forget it i think that obama has problems but she may not go back she has a visa for five years and there's legislation pending in the supreme soviet to allow soviet citizens to move to western countries for specialized jobs elena is considering contracts from the university of illinois in chicago and from bell labs her specialty is radio electronics she doesn't really know how her government would feel about her except in permanent employment in the united
states or in australia which is her other possibility but she sounds as if she's willing to take the chance you'll recognize it from bev ago they can't answer is the bank that maybe they will now elena says her students and colleagues htc are eager to find out more about the soviet union she says the united states people don't understand the true in total political situation in the soviet union there is some misunderstanding concern in politics available at everything is a reported for example what is going on in every employee bobby thing there's a kind of civil war in many of our topics in georgia happening in armenia it as events on and sold well are authorities try to do their best to know you know to keep it secret for example then there was a well
this massacre in tbilisi so they have military rule clear the tv at visitation so the destroyed ancient books because they knew what will happen and so they wanted to keep it secret and so they destroyed and sewn their sources of information had no possibility to report to so and that you know it's all that cause some of the tv and radio reporters they're going to brave that day on talk about the crimes of the only theater and recording is it and so now we know a lot and especially in his pond habitat and alito are they publish a lot of independent newspapers and so i only buy these newspapers that i never read about them is they're like an apple the organs of the communist party assign every elena says
reform in the soviet union isn't working she says gorbachev has a lot of difficulty because he is and as determined as he should be to push for democracy she says there are too many powerful forces on the right who are doing things to undermine the democracy movement you know actually these shortages there are sometimes because that if he's certainly for example it is easy in all the goods abroad but it doesn't help to mimic at about then so this artist will report there's no ability to loan debt james and thus the students they often come to help too long the chains and they have a tiny they can recognize it to make some money but the students that are coming to help them on tuesday so some authorities to find them and don't get to leave work to do it so i think there's some unknown that some forces that could on creating artificial difficult elena says the reason to create these artificial economic problems so that some people
will become dissatisfied with democracy and they will ask for this kind of bell i couldn't get to sleep because they they mostly want you know enough food and food stalls and enough goods for themselves they don't care about forest involved in human guise of our democracy so we want to be supplied with o the nets are things about this as opposed to visit their first destination and so i'm afraid that we still have some difficulty in elena says she will have a tough decision to make in the future about taking a job in the west or returning to the soviet union she says is democracy fails she won't go back to a dictatorial a real country but of democracy rains she might go back she says her ten year old daughter wants to go back someday and going against her wishes would be
very difficult in hutchinson i'm nancy finken entrepreneurial experts say a gold mine can be found in eastern europe but any for gold has never been an easy process it takes patience and it is interesting to know where to look friends are there on time instructor of entrepreneurship at wichita state has already got involved with citizens from eastern europe and from kansas who want to take advantage of the situation and i think there are numerous opportunities i think it will be thirty slow in coming how because of just the differences in the cultures that we have but people have said to me a friend what will what will sell in the soviet union the answer is everything because they have very few consumer goods now the other part of that problem though is that when you sell things over there and you receive rebels for the
rebels and the convertible so what you have to do then is to take root cause and dispose of them by treating them or buy as pepsico dna to vodka a four part of their investments and so that's going to be a very stirring process the other half of that question is what will work the other way and the other way is local can we import that would sell in this country that will give them dollars you seen us that's what they need in the dollar's badly as what they call hard currency and now and really i'm not sure this gentleman indicated to me the things that he's going to send me we agree and so are her
cloths things that they make and when i was in the soviet union i bought a number of those scarves and shawls and those caught and then they're gorgeous in there and they're inexpensive and will they sell in this country and the answer is yes and when i was over there also i visited a very large perfume factory and i brought those perfumes back here and have a friends of mine testament of their excellent and they do sell part of those outside of the soviet union he indicated that they had hunting rifles and it follows was sell quite well for them and they also have a lot of tools machine goods well i have and could we import illusion so they're says the soviet union also has gold and vodka with exporting and oil to some he says right now is really in demand the breakaway republics of estonia latvia and lithuania as well as poland and hungary
mate move towards capitalism a bit quicker you look at them as the most logical people to start because they are closer to a free economy than the rest of the soviet union there's tremendous desire there and they know how to do it is to get the machinery worked out a budget he appears although maybe some other opportunities that may come along quicker such as they remain here in poland in fact a friend of mine is it now is in one of those countries today establishing law firm is in budapest our today and guys establishing law firm office from from kansas city in budapest so it is a lot of things are beginning to happen so sometimes it's complicated because the soviet citizens are learning capitalism for the first
time they're not used to contract sending a little set prices and negotiating on the other hand the united states people are used to dealing the soviet way he says more education needs to be done when i was and so you know i met with individual in and we agreed to put on two seven arsenio stage which we did last november we had one in new york city and we had one in chicago in which a delegation of about eight people's lives or you came to those two cities we invite about two hundred executives in order to learn about how to be in the soviet union so there is quite a bit of that is going on you can feel and you can see a lot is happening especially for the multinational companies who are interested in this in this area and they should be because of tremendous sensory who gets in their early years is so important and especially if you develop a report
with them and ate the trash you and you trust them then there is a way of getting things done people say well what about the risk of the overthrow of the government or she have that you have and south america you haven't all over the world have in south africa and you have that risk we have in the middle east right now you know if you had invested in kuwait new donors today so that's part of the risk that you have to take in this that's what it's all about so you have to assess that risk and is it how much you can handle and go for it and so it's an exciting time the mayor's comments concerning the advantages of developing a trust and report the soviet union have paid out for pizza hat company pepsico has been doing business in the soviet union khrushchev days just last month to pizza hut opened one ongoing case today moscow and the other interest out in a noble stores were recently closed for a little over a day because of a misunderstanding about health
codes roger i doubt public relations director for pizza hut says and company is thrilled with their new venture or joint venture partners in the soviet union is actually the city of moscow so we were dealing with the government agency as a partner so we are dealing with those bureaucrats within the soviet government and the city of moscow's government kind of a partnership basis they were the ones who were going to approve a lot of things we wanted to do and at the same time they are partners of ours in the end there are so we're kind of on the same team working through the you know the political name is over there my gal says in the beginning the pizza hut is sitting in a lot of the ingredients but they hope to have local contacts establish soon who can reduce the products for them he says getting them to produce exactly what they want the saints back says their quality standards has been difficult but he says they're measuring it it was it was a bit of a challenge however those that we did find
world very sensitive to the significance of their partnership with us i think they were very very aware of the fact that this was probably the start of something very big for them that they were getting into that at the leading edge of a very big in new exciting idea what might have been a challenge it was convincing some of these so the producers to work harder innovate for for the last seventy years they've been in a position of virtual non competition where the air quality is once met were about as much as far as they might care to go in as far as their workers might care to go there's going to be a mindset change in the soviet union that's going to convince people that there is a tremendous payout to initiative and to the whole notion of fodder promotion and i think that as time goes on it'll
be easier and easier to find suppliers for growing business over there because we're going to find out more and more independent businessman recognizing be of value to work and devalued to work extra hours i'm going that extra mile to work to see those were financial rewards rideout says there are still long lines each day at the two pizza hut's he says the first day they served about fifty thousand people and then you are similar to be tired of the united states but since the soviet side fish that's a popular topping in addition to abortion is the soup of the day every day in hutchinson i'm nancy finken
