Show Thursday, January IRAN: (Continued from page Highland legislator supporting school bill President Carter at his home in Plains, Ga., and left without com- ment. The panel plans to interview 15 to 20 more witnesses before wrapping up its work. 1 First lady Nancy Reagan said Wednesday that the president wants to talk about the affair but is waiting for more information from investigators before making further public comments. "Sometimes, you know, it's harder to say nothing when you really want to say something," Mrs. Reagan told reporters. Congressional investigators promised a vigorous investigation of their own and after meeting with David Abshire, the White House special adviser on the arms sale issue said they were assured of full administration cooper- ation. Senate Select Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, said, "I'm convinced that the White House ... will be most forthcoming." Select committee Vice Chairman Warren Rudman, said he expecls the committee to seek documents related to the Swiss bank accounts where money from the Iran arms sales was deposited. "Are we going to ask for a lot more than the Intelligence Committee asked for? The answer is absolutely," Rudman said. Some intelligence sources were questioning the thoroughness of two CIA internal investigations that cleared an agency station chief recalled from Costa Rica in the aiding of a Nicaraguan rebel arms resupply mission. Sources speaking on condition of anonymity said despite the results, CIA superiors believed the station chief, known by the pseudonym Tomas Castillo, exercised poor judgment in serving as Lt. Col. Oliver North's channel to the arms resupply mission. Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said U.S. policy is still to make no concessions to terrorists and reaffirmed that the United States still regards Iran as an active supporter and sponsor of terrorism. "The United States continues to pursue a policy of active defense against terrorism and urges all nations to cooperate in intelligence exchanges, diplomatic initiatives, economic measures, political and legal actions, and, if necessary, military actions," Weinberger said in a speech Wednesday. Burr paving this spring By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Herald Staff Writer "Id like to see us give the governor a goodly portion of what he asks for education," said Donald LeBaron, chairman of the House of Representatives Education Appropriations Committee. The Senate Education Appropriations Committee is also headed by a Utah County man, Sen. C.E. "Chuck" Peterson, LeBaron said he and other members of the committee have been meeting with their constituents concerning the education bill to determine what their action should be in the legislature. "They are telling us they want more for education, but they also want more service for the buck," he pointed out. He said he is convinced that state education reform efforts are consistent with this idea and enjoy majority support. Le Baron's committee is made up of House members David M. Adams, vice chairman, John B. Arrington, Richard J. Bradford, Afton Bradshaw, Kim R. Drew Daniels, Beverly Ann Evans, Scott W. Holt, Joseph LaMont Richards, Janet Rose, Hugh D. Rush, Ray S. Schmutz, Stanley M. Smedley, S. Ull, G. Jed D. Wasden, and Spencer WyaU. The idea of a "head tax" hasn't yet come before the committee, LeBaron noted. Some bills have been introduced into the legislature which would set a limit on the number of exemptions a family could claim on its state income tax. In effect, ' it would represent a tax on the remaining number of dependents in large families. LeBaron said there is some feeling that the present system places too much burden on people who do not benefit; in other words, on people who have fewer children in the public education system. All of the State Income Tax goes for education, but people with many dependents they can claim exemptions for pay little or no income tax, supporters of the bills have emphasized. LeBaron conceded that the present system does tend to favor those with large families. "The jury is still out on that one," he noted. Senator Peterson said his committee hasn't yet considered some of the main appropriations issues. The issue of a name change for Utah Technical College will be debated in his committee today. "That bill passed the House without a single dissenting vote, but there will be some opposition when it comes before the Senate committee," he said. The bill would change the name from Utah Technical College at Provo-Oreto Utah Valley Community College. Peterson believes it is inevitable that the community college concept be adopted. "It is just as important today for a person to give a good command of English as he goes out into the work world as it is for him to have vocational training," he said. Peterson noted that the Senate has been moving very fast on the bills before it so far. "Perhaps it is moving too fast. Or maybe the legislators realize the serious issues before us and don't want to leave those to the last."

The Reagan administration has held off notifying Congress of its intentions until it assesses reaction on Capitol Hill. Both purchases would require Congressional approval. In another move, also unannounced, Congress was told the United States was selling Jordan 100 Copperhead anti-tan- k artillery shells worth $5 million. In this case, no Congressional approval is necessary. The Jordanian and Saudi monarchies are considered by the State Department to be supportive of U.S. peace efforts in the Middle East.
