PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton told about 800 people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation today that his wife will fight for them if elected president.

He also said the former first lady will fight diabetes among American Indian youth.

In a 25-minute speech, he said Hillary Clinton knows more about Indian Country than any other presidential candidate.

He said his wife is the first candidate to present an agenda for American Indians. Clinton said it would restore respect for tribal sovereignty, end the No Child Left Behind law and improve Indian Health Service funding and services.

The former president also urged the crowd to believe his wife can win the Democratic nomination and the general election.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Senator Hillary Clinton pledged her support for the Homestake science lab and Ellsworth Air Force Base during a brief campaign stop in Rapid City.

In an interview yesterday, the presidential hopeful said Ellsworth is vital to the state's economy and national security.

Clinton emphasized the need for more scientific research like that which would be done at the deep underground mine proposed in Lead.

She said she would oppose consolidation in the meatpacking industry and said her plans for universal health care would help underserved areas like American Indian reservations.
