Vogel had promised to cancel all the austerity measures that Kohl had taken during his five months as Chancellor prior to the election.

McDowell Richards, a retired P.C.U.S. seminary president and a member of the reunion committee. The pact gives P.C.U.S. congregations a 15-year grace period in which they can apply for annual exemptions from...
