the court ruled that the governormay go ahead and include autonomous agencies in the realmof his revamp powers.
Encouraged with' the court'sruling, the governor was said tohave met with senators from theruling majorityadayafter, to specifically discuss how to go about.the issuance of another reorganization plan.
Executive Order 94-3, whichwas dubbed to be a more flexibleand well-thought O11t version ofE.O. 94-2, was transmitted to theSenate 3:15 Friday afternoon intime for a scheduled specialSenate session <It 3:30 p.m.
ThiS time, tbe Senatemadesurethey were doing it correctly thistime.
"We'd like to do this right,"said Senate President Demapanin an interview, referring to thenew reorganization proposal bythe governor. . .
The governor's Public Information Officer, Bruce Lloyd inan interview yesterday said thenew E.O. is a modifiedversionofthe previous plan, but for a fewminor changes.
"Now that the constitutionalityof doing it was upheld,then itwasjust a matter of doing it right,"said Lloyd. "The new order presents anopportunityto look at thepreviousplan muchcloser.We'repleasedto havegottenoverwithitas the court ruling made it inevitable for the administration to issue another one," Lloyd added.
Under E.O. 94-3, the AttorneyGeneral's Office will still maintain thesamenamecontraryto theprovision in the previous E.O.that creates a Departmentof Justice.
Also, the Division of Customswhich was being transferred tothe new department of Labor,Immigration& Customs,is beingbrought back under the DepartmentofFinancewhereitbelongedprior to the first revamp order.
If E.O. 94-2 called departmentdirectors secretaries, the new order exempts the head of the Public Safety Department from thename change, as he'll be knownas the Commissioner of PublicSafety.
Anothernotablechangewasthecreation of an office for a substance abuse coordinator, whichwas absent from the previous order.
'The new E.O. was meant tominimizeconfusioninas muchasthe people affected by the previousE.O. would nowknowwhat'scoming. This is a crushingloadofpaper work as' we have to undothe issuance of all the directivesimplememing reorganization anddo it all again," said Lloyd.
Among those who participatedin the vote for the new E.O.asidefrom Demapan were SenatorsPaul A. Manglona, David M.Cing, Eusebio A. Hocog andRicardo S. Atalig.
Abraham said DPHS is readyto assist in implementing it inany way as they can.
"After all, we're all interested in making sure our peopleget the best of care possible atthe most affordable price," hesaid.

southeastern Turkey since 1984.More than 12,000 people havedied in the violence so far.
"We want to improve freedomof movement, and. these wereplaces for executions and m
urders.' said Col. DidierThibaut, commander of the 250member paratrooper force basedat nearby Nyarushishi. "Getback to your field," he shouted atone man
standing at a crude checkpointon a lonely stretch of road.
But just as the RPF insists theFrench are here to keep the rebelsfrom taking the one,-third pf thecountry now held by the government, the Hutus feel the hatred,
Thoughbothethnicgroupshavebeen accused of killing innocentpeople, independent groups saythe Hutu militias carried out mostof the killings, and that most ~f
the victims were Tutsis."The militias are not killing ci
vilians as such. What they aredoingis lookingfor RPFsoldiers,"reasoned Phocas Fashaho,30, aformer interpreter for U.N. peacekeeping units in Kigali, the wartorn capital.'
Alexis Njengunurengyi, 32,said both groups killed each otherin Kamembe, and he blamed theTutsis for inciting and carryingout most of the violence.
"There are civilians sufferingin both zones," he said. "But herecivilians are suffering becausethey fled the RPF and need'food.In the RPF zone, people are suffering because they are killingpeople. The French have the authority to protect us."
various clashes Saturday in thesoutheastern provinces of Sirnak,Diyarbakir, Bingol, Bitlis,Hakkari and Van.
The guerrillas belong to theKurdistan Workers Party, whichhas been fighting for autonomy in
the country, vowed to attackFrench troops when Paris said itwould send 2,500 people here tokeep the peacein Hutu-controlledareas.
On Thursday, however, RPFsoftened that stance, saying theywould not bother the French ifthey kept their efforts purely hurnani tarian.
The controversial French mission here is being heavi Iycoveredby the international press, and it' sclear the commanders are conscious of how they are perceived.
The troops that are fanning outacross the government-controlledareas of western Rwanda are dismantling of the notorious civiliancheckpoints where Hutu radicalsmassacredTutsis,as wellasHutusthey deemed to be opponents ofthe government.
They are visiting Tutsi refugeecamps and riding through thestreets of Hutu towns, urgingpeople to be peaceful.
"We're here to give a message:What happened before will nothappen again," said Capt. Herve,a French paratrooper who insistedhe be referred to only as Capt.Herve. "That is my name here."
"We are telling them: 'Go backto work, go to school. Go back toyour normal life," he said.
The removal of the civiliancheckpoints, mostly severalpeople standing by big sticks suspended across roads, was one ofthe symbolic signs of the Frenchpeacekeeping mission.

KEMEMBE,Rwanda(AP)-Thepeople here love the French soldiers,whomadeashow of preaching peace Saturday when theymade theirdebut in this Rwandantown.
But the people in this town stillhate the rival Tutsis, and they expect the French troops to be partisans, not peacekeepers, in the warthat has repulsed the world.
'The troops are here to defendthe people against the Tutsis. Thepeople are angry at the Tutsis, sothey killed them," said LazaroSafali, 42. a city employee whosaidhehimselfdid not take part inany killings.
Theaffectionthe Hutu majorityfeels for the French governmentthat armed and aided the Hutugovernment foryears,and thecenturies-old hatred they feel for thebetter-edueatedTutsiminoritythatonce dominated them, representsthedangerously fineline theFrenchtroops are treadingin this country.
More than 200,000 people havedied since April 6, when radicalHutu President JuvenalHabyarimana died in a mysterousplane crash, setting off a wave ofreprisal killings against Tutsis.
Though both groups have beenblamed for massacring the innocent,independentgroups saymostvictims have been Tutsis.
