ByJonathanLemire TheAssociatedPress TAMPA, FLORIDA Visit- ing a battleground state he can't afford to lose, Don- ald Trump promised His- panics "a much better life" Wednesday in a Florida speech that continued his recent effort to soften his tone and broaden his sup- port 11 weeks before the presidential election. And, in an interview, he suggested he would "work with" some of the immi- grants in the United States illegally, stopping short of proposing a legal path to remaining in the country but suggesting a startling about-face from his previ- ous hard-line mass depor- tation proposal. Yet the Republican pres- idential candidate also re- peated his promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexi- can border to keep out im- migrants, underscoring the tricky balancing act he faces in retaining backing from conservatives while beckoning to moderates for their votes. "I am going to fight to give every Hispanic citi- zen a much better future, a much better life," Trump told a crowd in Tampa as polls show him trailing in the critical state. "You have the right to walk outside without being shot. You have a right to a good ed- ucation for your child. You have the right to own your home. You have the right to have a good job." Trump dominated pres- idential campaign cover- age for the day as his Dem- ocratic rival, Hillary Clin- ton, was fundraising in California. Her drive for the White House got a rhetorical boost when her defeated competitor for her par- ty's nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, told The Associated Press that he'll campaign actively for Clinton this fall. Sand- ers, who turns 75 on Sept. 8, also said he's leaning to- ward seeking re-election as an independent senator in 2018. Trump's appeal to His- panics largely echoed his recent outreach to African- Americans. He rarely tried to explicitly lure minority voters during his unlikely rise to the GOP nomination earlier this year. Now facing a bigger elec- torate, Trump suggested Hispanics have been taken for granted by Democrats. He said the 600,000 La- tino-owned businesses in Florida would benefit un- der his economic plan, but he offered few specifics. "Hispanics are tired of being used by these phony politicians," Trump roared above the rumbles of a thunderstorm audible in- side. "I say, what do you have to lose? I will fix it." Hispanics make up a sizable and growing per- centage of Florida's popu- lation. Trump will have a narrow path to the White House without winning the Sunshine State, where he owns several resorts and which he dubbed "his sec- ond home" on Wednesday. Trumpmadenomention attherally,largelyattended by white supporters, of his remarks Tuesday that he would consider "soften- ing" laws dealing with im- migrants in the country il- legally. But in an interview broadcast on Fox News Channel, he said that while he would not allow citizen- ship, he would "work with" those in the country ille- gally. "Let me go a step fur- ther," Trump said. "They'll pay back taxes, they have to pay taxes, there's no am- nesty, as such, there's no amnesty, but we work with them." That is a far cry from the early days of the GOP primaries, when Trump vowed to use a "deporta- tion force" to round up and deport the millions of peo- ple living in the country il- legally, and appears to be far more in line with the more moderate plans that Trumpcriticizedwhenthey were floated by his Repub- lican primary rivals. Trump is expected to discuss his immigration proposals more thoroughly in Phoenix Aug. 31. Arizona Republican Party Chairman Robert Graham confirmed the event and said the speech would cover "policy." Two officials with knowledge of the Trump campaign's plans confirmed the topic was immigration. They weren'tauthorizedtospeak on the record about cam- paign plans. At a rally later Wednes- day in Jackson, Mississippi, hesaidonlythat"anyimmi- gration policy I support as president must pass these three tests," before broadly saying it must improve the wages, safety and quality of life of U.S. citizens. At the rally in Jackson, an overwhelmingly Afri- can-American city, Trump made a similar outreach to black voters and called Clinton "a bigot" for alleg- edly taking for granted the support of minority voters. Trump aides confirmed he will soon tour churches, local businesses and char- ter schools in black and Hispanic urban neighbor- hoods. Dr. Ben Carson, a close ally and former GOP primary rival, said he will accompany Trump on at least one visit. Trump, in Mississippi, linked the movement fu- eling his campaign to the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union — and brought Nigel Far- age, an architect of Brit- ain's successful "Brexit" campaign, up on stage. Meanwhile, one of Trump's most reliable allies made plans to aid him this fall. The National Rifle As- sociation's political victory fund has reserved about $2.7 million in TV commer- cials in September and Oc- tober, Kantar Media's polit- ical ad tracker shows.

Ford, right, listens as President Richard Nixon, accompanied by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, speaks in the Oval Office of the White House. By Amy Taxin and Deb Riechmann The Associated Press YORBA LINDA Overseas re- action to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974 was mixed: The Soviets ex- pressed worry about the fu- ture of detente. North Ko- rea reacted brashly, call- ing Nixon's exit the "falling out" of the "wicked boss" of American imperial- ists. South Vietnam put its forces on high alert be- cause it feared the North Vietnamese would take ad- vantage of the vulnerable U.S. political situation. The international re- sponse to the Watergate scandal and Nixon's fall is noted in 2,500 newly de- classified intelligence doc- uments the CIA released on Wednesday. The 28,000 pages — many still with lengthy redactions — rep- resent eight years of the top-secret President's Daily Brief prepared for Nixon and his successor, Presi- dent Gerald Ford. At the start of Nixon's tenure, the CIA delivered morning and afternoon in- telligence briefs at the re- quest of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who wanted timely intelligence on world events. By the end of 1969, the PDB was about 10 pages long. Ford sought even more analysis and his PDBs were sometimes close to 20 pages long with an- nexes. The brief on Sept. 5, 1973, said Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev had "voiced suspicions that op- ponents of Soviet-U.S. ac- commodation are trying to exploit Watergate and said he wanted to build detente so firmly that it will not be an issue in future U.S. pol- itics." Most of the documents mentioning Watergate fol- lowed Nixon's resignation on Aug. 8, 1974. The scan- dal erupted in 1972 after operatives for Nixon's Re- publican re-election cam- paign were caught break- ing into Democratic National Committee head- quarters at the Watergate office and hotel complex in Washington. "The world in the past 24 hours has seemed to mark time as the U.S. suc- cession process worked it- self out," according to the Aug. 10, 1974, brief. "None of the potential trouble- makers has produced even a rumble. ... It may be that many have not had time to consider how the situation might be turned to advan- tage. Many, the Soviets for example, had probably not anticipated the situation to come to a climax so rapidly and, still in something of a state of shock, are without (a) fixed course." According to the brief, the North Vietnamese did not accelerate attacks, but instead confined them- selves to "warning Presi- dent Ford not to follow past U.S. policies toward Indo- china." One intelligence brief, about a week after the resignation, predicted that Brezhnev, who had developed a personal rela- tionship with Nixon, could lose some standing in the Politburo, the policy-mak- ing body of the Communist Party. The partnership had produced results. In May 1972, Nixon visited Moscow for discussions that led to the signing of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. The pact to limit nuclear arms was a key foreign pol- icy achievement for Nixon and Kissinger. Other sub- jects discussed in the doc- uments released Wednes- day include: Attack at Mu- nich Olympics. The Sept. 6, 1972, brief said Israel "seems certain to avenge" militants responsible for kidnapping and killing 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Mu- nich. "Although the Israe- lis could allow the outrage in the international com- munity to suffice for the present, domestic senti- ment for a response is al- ready mounting," the brief said. "Any reprisal action could be severe." Documents: Soviets worried about detente a er Nixon quit The Associated Press BEND, ORE. A commu- nity college safety officer charged with the murder of a23-year-oldwomanwasex- tradited Wednesday to Ore- gon from California, where hehadbeenheldforamonth in connection with other vi- olent crimes. Edwin Lara, 31, of Red- mond was booked into De- schutes County Jail and was being held without bail, ac- cording to online jail re- cords. Lara faces four counts of aggravated murder in the July death of Kaylee Sawyer. Lara, a security officer at Central Oregon Community College,kidnappedandtried to sexually assault Sawyer before killing her to coverup his attack, authorities said. Police believe Lara en- countered Sawyer on July 24 while working his night shift as she took a late-night walk near campus. Lara's wife, a new hire at the Bend Police Depart- ment, noticed her husband was acting out of the ordi- nary the next morning and confronted him. He broke down and told her he had struck Sawyer with his pa- trol car, panicked and bur- ied the body, according to a police report. DeschutesCountyDistrict Attorney John Hummel has said he doesn't believe Lara's story and declined to pro- vide further details about the case. Authorities say Lara fled after the killing and went on a two-state crime rampage that included a kidnapping, attempted murder and car- jacking. All parties in the case are under a gag order. Hummel declined to com- ment Wednesday through a spokeswoman, citing the order. Lara's lead attorney, Ben- jamin Kim, did not immedi- ately return a call Wednes- day. He previously declined to comment. Police say Lara traveled 130 miles to Salem, Oregon, afterkillingSawyerandtook a19-year-oldwomanhostage as she left her job at a cloth- ing store.
