Corrections and Clarifications

December 5, 2001

In a Dec. 5 article titled, "Database Helps With Cancer, Aging Research," The Chronicle misquoted Jean Wylie. Her final quote should have read, "When researchers ask Utahns to participate in a study, they don't have to explain why families are important." The Chronicle regrets the error.

WASHINGTON?The names of more than 300,000 foreigners who disappeared after being ordered deported will be entered in a crime database so police can help track them down, the Immigration and Naturalization Service said Wednesday.
