AID TO FORMER SOVIET UNION CALLED MISMANAGED

Some Senators overseeing U.S. aid to the former Soviet Union say the program is so poorly managed it should be overhauled before it uses up any more money ($2.5 billion is to be spent in 1994). Senators Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, and Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, are refusing to approve any new projects until oversight hearings take place on Jan. 24. McConnell has described the briefings the Clinton Administration has provided about the aid program as "contradictory, incomplete, (and) inaccurate."

THE ROGER CLINTON SAGA CONTINUES

Begged by his mother, President Clinton invited his brother Roger to the White House for Christmas. For months, Clinton has urged Roger to marry his pregnant girlfriend Molly Martin, and to placate him Roger showed up with a marriage license, blood test and a wedding date -- Dec. 27 in Dallas (Molly's hometown). But then Roger wanted to fly back to Arkansas with his girlfriend on Air Force One. The wedding is now planned for next week -- or it may be put off again.
