George Voinovich has a keen onterest about the Umted States' involvement in Kosovo. • The Ohio Republican, who IS of Serbian and Slovenian descent, opposed 'NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia early and hasn't changed his position. He's afra1d the bombing could be the first step in a larger mvolvement for U S troops. " We're going to do everything we can to support those troops, give them the resources they need so that they come home to their families," Voinovich said last week. " After that, I think we've got a problem in terms of what's the exit strategy," he sa1d. "I don't thmk we want our boys on the ground over there fighting a war that could go on and on and on and endanger them, put them 1n harm's way " Vomov1ch sa1d deeper U.S. involvement could produce "another VIetnam" and that pol1t1cal problems have beset the Balkan countries for centuries. He encouraged the rountries involved in the current fighting to negotiate. "I would like to see them go back to diplomacy arid try to work it out · because.) thmk 1f 1t's not worked 'out, 1t's going to be something that will go on forever," he said. Voinov1ch is correct about the difficulty of getting out if there is a ground war, sa1d Carole Rogel, an Ohio State Umverslty emeritus professor of history. But the current conflict, like others since the breakup of the former Yugoslavia a decade a~:o. has its roots in this century, Ms Rogel said. "You have to remember that Yugoslavia was not even created until after World War I, so these people did not even live together until 1919, 1920," Ms Rogel said. "What's happening and what has been happening since 1990 has been a polihcal fight for what was left of the Yugoslav republics." • Voinovich, who visited his ancestral Serbian homeland several years ago on a trade m1ssion as Ohio's governor, smgled out Yulloslav President Slobodan Milosev1c as the force behind the region's current unrest. "The Serbian people are not the problem," he said. "He's the problem· and I thmk we have now solldif1ed th1s man m h1s pos1tion. You're gomg to :continue to have problems with him." · Ms. Rogel believes the NATO air stnkes may have forced Milosevic's hand. " I think Milosevic intended to throw the Albanians out (of Kosovo} I ·don 't 'think he thought he had to do it as qu1ckly as he's domg 11." . .

The HU D Reform Act of 1992 was created to change that. Congress, fed up by years of endemic corruption ill the agency, passed a Jaw that forbade any agency official from giving guidance to an outside contractor or grant recipient. Suddenly, HUD had the most stringent controls of any federal agency when it came to its contractors -stricter than even the Pentagon, which doles O!!l many times more contracts each year. The plan worked as advertised; while HUD still suffers from endemic mismanagement (detailed often in this space), it's been virtually scandal-free. for most of this decade. To prevent even. the whiff of favoritism, the government's gun-shy lawyers decreed that the new Jaw even applied to such everyday requests as a question from the Oeveland Salvation Army over which box to checJC. everyon~ he ran into, including Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and second lady Tipper Gore, numerous fellow congressmen and admin• istration officials. He made speeches on the House floor. His staff began talking to HUD to see about changing the Jaw. They developed a backup plan, which invol~ed seeking a grant from the Veterans Administration, in case the funding didn't come through. But it dido 't take long for the House to act. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., an arch-conservative and no fan of HUD, quickly scheduled a hearing 110d invited Kucinich to help with wililesses.

But sometimes one person can make a difference. And sometimes the most stubborn bureaucracies can bend to help out the less fortunate. Our story begins earlier this year, when the local Salvation Army chapter in Cleveland was applying to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a grant to help the homeJess, As in previous years, they wanted $1.5 mii· ·Jion from the federal govetnme_nt to help prov,ide basic services for hard-core homeJess men. The program is overseen by the Cuyahoga County homeless se!rvices, and they considered it their No. I priority. For several years, the program -- using HUD "demonstration" dollars -- had hel~d homeless men transition into permanent housing by providing counseling, job-training and a stable place to Jive But th1s year the application had changed a bit, so the Salvation ~y folks wanted some clarification from HUD. Specifically, one section of the application asked if it was.a new request, or a renewal of a previous grant. The applicants weren 'I sure how to answer, so they called the govemment.for guidance. That's when the problems started. Their calls to HUD's offices were met with silence. Nobody ~hem which box they should check. Eventually they simply checked the "renewal" box and sent in the application. Nothing happened. Only later wDuld they find out that the application was never even read, much Jess considered for funding. Not because the project wasn't worthy, but because they checked the wrong box .. It turns out that HUD's lawyers had ruled that nobody in the agency was allowed to g1ve advice to a grant applicant-- even on something as simple as which box to check. The reasons have nothing to do V.11th the homeJess, and everything to do with the charlatans who ran this troubled government agency during the 1980s.
