Show THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, Friday, May A2 Page 4, 1990 Uda backs flightier Gonftrols of dlam People By JUDY FAHYS Herald Washington Correspondent House Interior WASHINGTON Committee Chairman Morris Udall, has thrown his support behind tightening controls on Glen Canyon Dam operations, ending the drastic water fluctuations some believe is eroding the Grand Canyon and harming its ecology. The move comes nearly a week after Bush administration witnesses were turned away from a House subcommittee hearing on a bill to force the Interior Department to ease the water fluctuations while a long-tersolution is being studied.

"6n advice of counsel, I elect to assert my Fifth Amendment privilege against said the mayor. The government released Barry's letter Thursday in opposing the mayor's motion to suppress Barry's earlier grand jury testimony. That testimony led to three felony penury charges, and the mayor also is accused of five misdemeanor counts of possessing cocaine. In his grand jury testimony, Barry asserted that he wasn't aware of drug use by an asso m feated a resolution Thursday night that would have asked Barry not to seek The proposal, voted down declared Barry's leadership "in question" and requested that he "announce that he will not seek renomination in 1990." Barry has not publicly disclosed his future political plans. However, he has made numerous campaign-styl- e appearance since his return to the city from seven weeks of treatment for substance abuse. Sources close to the mayor said Barry intends to run for a fourth four-yeterm. In a letter to Williams, Barry called the resolution "undemocratic" because it "undermines the right of the voter to decide."

"Freedom ves, Gorby no," they chanted. "Lithuania, don't give in. Today, continuing her visit, Prunskiene presses her appeal for America's support with a speech at the National Press Club. As she must have anticipated, Bush refused to recognize the new democratic government in Lithuania as an independent country. And the president refused anew to apply economic pressure on Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to call off his embargo, designed to make Lithuania abandon its secessionist notions. Instead, after the two met for 45 minutes Thursday in the Oval Office, Bush called again for "good-fait-h dialogue," stressed his abhorrence of "intimidation," and reminded his guest that the United States has never recognized "the forcible incorporation of the Baltic states into the U.S.S.R."

BALTICS: (Continued from Page Al) Other deputies objected that Latvians had wanted to restore their independence for 50 years. In the end, the lawmakers voted 139-5- 6 to address the measure today. "This is our last possibility to survive, and we are going to take advantage of it. That is why we demand independence," said writer Alberts Bels. Scores of protesters from the population gathered on Cathedral Square with signs demanding the republic not copy Lithuania. A rally was scheduled for later in the day. The Supreme Soviet has 201 members, but only 197 will vote on independence because four seats are disputed. A majority of 132 votes is needed to pass the independence measure, and a an two-thir- spokeswoman for the People's Front said Thursday that it had the backing of more than 140 deputies. If the declaration passed, the parliament planned to vote on sending an announcement to Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Lithuanian President Vytautus Iandsbergis advised his neighbors Thursday on a visit to Riga to "be strong and have courage." He said Latvians, if they moved more slowly than Lithuania on the path to secession, would be "trudging through a jungle." However, Latvia's ethnic balance is more delicate than Lithuania's and could slow steps toward independence. In Lithuania, 80 percent of the 2.8 million pecple are ethnic Lithuanian, but about 54 percent of Latvia's population of 2.7 million people are Latvian. Most of the rest are ethnic Russians, many of whom oppose independence. In the past year, Latvia has copied within months, and sometimes weeks, Lithuania's steps toward independnce. In December, it abolished the Communist Party's guaranteed monopoly on power; in February it condemned the 1940 act that formalized its annexation by the Soviet Union; and last month a large segment of its Communist Party broke from the Moscow-base- d Sovi- et party. Anatoly Gorbunov, who was reelected president of Latvia during the parliamentary session, backed independence in a nomination speech Thursday.

"I made it clear to President Bush that the Lithuanian nation is awaiting basic support from him," she said. Everywhere she sought to drive home one point: "You do not have to choose between Lithuania and Gorbachev." She argued that Gorbachev would be strengthened by the existence of an independent Lithuania. It would help him "overcome the reactionary forces which oppose not only independence for the Baltic states" but his reforms as well. Prunskiene said she told Bush the same thing "It was not an either-o- r choice, either Lithuania or Gorbachev."

"This is a matter of critical importance, and I want to put it at the top of the committee's agenda."

"With Udall's support, passage of the bill is assured," said one committee staff aide. deck, an Israeli newspaper reported today. A military spokesman confirmed that a navy vessel was carrying out a "routine weapons check" in the vicinity of Hussein's yacht, but said no shots were fired directly at it. Spokesmen for Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and the defense ministry could not be reached for comment. The liberal daily Haaretz said the incident occurred last Saturday in the Gulf of Aqaba. The were no reports of damage or injuries. Jordan protested sharply to Israel and the United States. Israeli officials refused to apolo- gize but assured Jordan it would not happen again, the newspaper said. President Bush and Secretary of State James A. Baker IO expressed anger when informed about the incident, the newspaper said. Haaretz said Hussein's yacht was sailing in international waters, accompanied by a Jordanian navy vessel, when the Israeli patrol boat opened fire. "Nobody could have had any doubt that the king was on the boat," the newspaper quoted one of the sources as saying. S. AFRICA: (Continued from Page Al) steps to be taken to try to settle remaining ANC demands for negotiations. The steps include establishment of the working group to actually handle practical matters; the granting of temporary immunity from prosecution for political offenses for selected top ANC officials; a government review of existing security legislation; and the establishment of channels of communication between the two sides to halt violence. The declaration said the government committed itself "to work towards the lifting of the state of a key ANC demand. emergency" "In this context the ANC will exert itself to fulfill the objective contained in the preamble," the communique stated. The state of emergency has been in effect since June 1986. The ANC says the emergency is used by police to suppress political activity and peaceful dissent. The government says it wants to lift the emergency, but that it remains necessary to combat black factional fighting that has claimed more than 600 lives this year. The ANC is seeking amnesty for its estimated 15,000 exiles and the release of all prisoners convicted of full-sca- le "He was standing on the deck and it was possible to identify, him easily." After the first shots were fired, the king took over command of the yacht and ordered the vessel to turn around and head toward Saudi Arabian waters, the report said. The Israeli vessel accelerated and continued to fire as it followed the king's yacht. Only when the royal yacht reached Saudi waters did the Israeli patrol boat hold its fire, the report said. It said neither the king's bodyguards nor the Jordanian navy vessel accompanying the yacht returned fire during the chase. The sources quoted by Haaretz said the Israeli fire came from "weapons mounted on the deck, not just shots from a pistol." Israel's military command released a statement Friday denying the report and said "no shots were fired by the Israeli navy at King Hussein's yatch and no chase was conducted." The statement said a naval vessel did conduct routine firing of a few bullets in order to check its guns, but they were aimed toward empty waters to the south. The king has a residence in the Red Sea port town of Aqaba, which shares a bay with the Israeli resort town of Eilat. politically motivated crimes. So far, de Klerk has released some political activists convicted of acts that did not involve violence and offered temporary immunity to ANC officials involved in the talks. Legislation that could provide amnesty to exiles and prisoners is under consideration in Parliament. The government is demanding the ANC renounce its largely ineffective guerrilla campaign. De Klerk also wants the ANC to assist the government in ending the political violence in the southeastern province of Natal and elsewhere. De Klerk has been reluctant to grant outright pardons to ANC guerrillas accused or convicted of violent attacks for fear of a white backlash. Many whites are unhappy with the government's rapid reforms and still regard the ANC as a terrorist group. If the two sides reach agreement on holding constitutional negotiations, white and black leaders warn such discussions will be difficult and prolonged with major differences to be resolved. The government insists that any new constitution extending political rights to the country's 28 million blacks must include guarantees to safeguard the interests of the 5 million whites and other minorities.
