chances that a re-vised Brady bill would become law.  \nBut proponents of the seven-day waitingperiod say they cannot yet count on majoritysupport.And the Brady bill is part of largeranticrime legislation destined for a bumpy ridethrough Congress.  \nDebate on a Democratic crime package(S1241)and the Bush Administration's offering(S635)is scheduled to begin after a highway bill ispassed.However,Sen.Mitchell said on June 11that the highway bill is not yet near completion.  \nMitchell initially had criticized the Bradybill,asserting that a waiting period for gun pur-chases was useless without a mandatory back-ground check and uniform,computerized crimerecords.  \nBut after a dramatic House victory for thebill May 8,Mitchell promised a compromise.Hisplan would combine a waiting period with a manda-tory background check and authorize $40 million tohelp states update criminal records.The House-passed bill would require a seven-day waitingperiod but not mandate the background check orauthorize local funding.  \n\"It is designed to accomplish what theopposing sides identify as their common goal,\"Mitchell said,\"...to keep handguns out of thehands of convicted felons.\"  \nHouse gun control supporters praised theoffering,as did Sarah Brady,the chairman of  \n(See GUN CONTROL,page two)  \nISSN 0011-1295  \nJune 17,1991  \nPage 1  \nIN THIS ISSUE

disease is a job-related danger.  \nThe Hallandale,Fla.,Police and FirePension Board agreed 3-2 June 10 that firefighterand paramedic Jon Gauthier is entitled to full re-tirement pay for a service-incurred disability.  \nThe decision enables Gauthier,41,to collect75 percent of his $39,267 annual salary for 10years,and secures his pension to protect his wifeand nine-year-old son.  \n(See

from big hunting states who have consid-ered the bill too restrictive.The powerful NationalRifle Association(NRA),however,remains op-posed.  \nUnder Mitchell's plan,states that acceptFederal funds to update their criminal recordswould be required to run a background check of allwould-be handgun buyers.They also would haveto share their criminal record data with the FBI'sinterstate index by 1993.Mitchell said only 21states now do so.  \nAfter Mitchell announced his plan,JudiciaryCommittee Chairman Joseph R.Biden Jr.(D-Del.)reintroduced his crime bill,combining his originalbill (S 618)and
