From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON' The Bush ad
ministration is willing to send military
advisers to Peru and Bolivia to help in
the war against narcotics, drug czar
William Bennett said Sunday.
Bennett, however, denied published
reports that the administration has a
secret plan to send U.S. Special Forces
on drug-fighting missions in combat
fcones in the two Andean Mountain
neighbors of Colombia.
"There is no plan for any Special
Forces to accompany troops in Peru or
Bolivia into combat missions," Ben
nett said in the ABC-TV program "This
Week with David Brinkley."
"We see now in Colombia the pres
ence of American trainers working with
the Colombians, giving them advice,
training them on equipment. This is the
kind of thing we would anticipate if
Peru and Bolivia take the steps," Ben
nett said.

Chinese government
From Associated Press reports
BEIJING China has issued 40
slogans to mark the 40th anniversary of
its Communist revolution, including
one celebrating the recent suppression
,of the student pro-democracy move
; ment.
The slogans, compiled by the Com
munist Party and published Sunday by
. the official Xinhua News Agency, are a
mixture of self-praise for the nation's
accomplishments and admonishments
to do better in such areas as corruption
and education.
Since the revolution 40 years ago,
China has made heavy use of slogans in
newspapers, on billboards and signs to
express policy and exhort people to
follow it.

three Andean countries.
. He would not specifically deny that
Bush had signed the directive, but in

America.
About two dozen members of the
U.S. Special Forces based in Panama
have been rotating into Colombia, train
ing military forces there, for about two
years.
The directive that the Post said Bush
signed apparently would expand that
role. Details of the plan would be
worked out in greater detail over the
next two weeks, the newspaperreported.

A secret section of the plan would
authorize the U.S. Special Forces to
accompany military patrols into so
called "safe areas" in the three nations,
including Peru's Upper Huallaga Val
ley, the report said. The region is a
coca-growing jungle that U.S. officials
say is dominated by leftist "Shining
Path" guerrillas.
"As we have said about the troops on
the ground in Colombia, it is a danger
ous environment," Bennett said Sun
day. "They are not going to seek out
combat or conflict. And we just all
hope that nothing befalls them."
The proposed step drew mixed re
views from Democrats in Congress.
"It could be a good idea," said Sen.
Joseph Biden, D-Del., who has emerged
as Democratic spokesman on Bush's
plan for a war on drugs.
"I can say that I do not dismiss the
notion of using U.S. troops in certain
circumstances in the Andean effort,"
said Biden.

Hong Kong shifts boat people
following cholera outbreak
From Associated Press reports
, HONGKONG The government
removed 2,500 Vietnamese boat
people from an outlying island Sun
day after a riot and an outbreak of
cholera and moved them to an island
that once served as a leper colony,
officials reported.
Five boats were used to move the
boat people from Tai A Chau island
to nearby Heiling Chau island. An
other 2,000 Vietnamese living in tents
on Tai A Chau will be evacuated to
Heiling Chau on Monday, the offi
cials said.
Late last month, a dispute over the
distribution of rice touched off a riot
on Tai A Chau during which 1,000
Vietnamese hurled stones at police,
who fired tear gas to quell the distur
bance. Shortly after the violence, police
detected the first case of cholera on
the island. The disease has so far
stricken 2 1 Vietnamese, officials said.
Officials said Tai A Chau will be
used as a detention center again once
it has been cleaned up and huts are
built there.
Iranians censure congressmen
NICOSIA, Cyprus The parlia

nearly 190 U.S. congressmen for
endorsing Iranian resistance groups
and declared their moves would un

Official Tehran radio quoted Par
liament Speaker Mahdi Karrubi as
saying that "U.S. leaders will take the
wish of overthrowing the Islamic
Republic to their graves."
The U.S. lawmakers requested that
the United States support Iranian
resistance groups.

those who spoke out against the party.
The phrase is again suspect because
many intellectuals who spoke out for
democratic reform earlier in the year
have been arrested or publicly con
demned since the June crackdown.

Valdez overhaul scheduled
SAN DIEGO Repair work
begins Monday on the tanker Exxon
Valdez, which caused the nation's
worst oil spill when its hull was ripped '
open on a reef, and one of the first
objectives is removing big chunks of
the reef.
One rock "about the size of a
Volkswagen Bug" and another rock
estimated to weigh about 6,000
pounds are still wedged in torn sec
tions of the tanker's hull, said Dick
Vortmann, president of National Steel
& Shipbuilding Co.
Both rocks are from Bligh Reef in
Alaska's Prince William Sound,
where the ruptured tanker spilled
nearly 1 1 million gallons of crude oil
in March.
NASSCO Vice President Fred
Hallet said more than 300 workers
were expected to cut away and re
place about 3,200 tons of steel. The
damaged area represents more than
75 percent of the tanker's bottom.
Twelve of the ship's 25 compart
ments need repairs.
