The City Council voted 9-4 for the resolution after backers gave impassioned speeches that were cheered by hundreds of peace activists who packed the council chamber. Mayor James Hahn signed the resolution, making it the city's official position on Iraq. "I hope people understand we're not a bunch of crazy politicians trying to dictate federal policy," said Councilman Ed Reyes, who voted for the resolution.

"We are echoing the sentiments of people who are hurting. Where do we begin to matter in the priority of our federal dollars?" The resolution had failed to garner enough support at Tuesday's council meeting, but it was reworked to gain the additional vote needed for passage. Coun-cilwoman Jan Perry switched her vote after language calling for increased funding for the city's homeless veterans was included. The resolution asserted that "the strength of NATO and of the' United Nations rests on consensus" and that "the United States should make every effort to work within the United Nations framework and leave war as an option of last resort." It also said the billions of dollars that would be spent on war would likely cause further cuts in federally funded programs that benefit the city. War would also draw away hundreds of police officers and other city employees who are military reservists, it said.

The resolution stated that the council recognized that "Saddam Hussein has perpetuated great human rights abuses with aims contrary to peace," but it warned that war would "take the lives of untold Iraqis," mostly noncom-batants. At the same time it asserted support for U.S. military personnel. On the Net www.lacity.org ter grandparent from 1974 to 1998 and received an award for her service from Gov. George Deukmejian.
