Garn warned he may retaliate himself, and that he plans to replace the lost CUP funds, intended for next year's construction, in committee. "If they think this senator was difficult to deal with last year, just wait," he said at a Thursday hearing. Garn said Washington bureaucrats cut the money out of the CUP construction budget proposed by regional Bureau of Reclamation officials. That leaves $50.1 million in the fiscal 1992 budget for CUP construction. In the past decade of Republican administrations, a president never Bureau of Reclamation officials have been at odds with legislation to raise the CUP debt limit. The goal is to allow completion of southern Utah irrigation systems, environmental work and compensation for Indian water rights. The BOR also dislikes a provision that would take away its control of future construction and put it in the hands of the local, Central Utah Water Conservancy District. 27 crewmen all feared to be dead SAN DIEGO submarine-huntin- g - fT Jt. -- .

It wasn't immediately known how long the search would last, but Howard said the Navy would make extensive attempts to retrieve remains and wreckage. If no bodies were found, however, he said the Navy "deems the sea the final resting place." The two P-- 3 Orions stationed at Moffett Naval Air Station in Northern California were taking part in warfare exercises when they crashed Thursday morning off the Mexican coast, about 60 miles southwest of San Diego. Officially, the crews were listed as missing. The names of those on board were not released. Strong winds and rain hit the San Diego area overnight Wednesday. The National Weather Service said other pilots in the area reported severe turbulence in the area shortly after the crash.

The meeting of the U.N. Security Council's sanctions committee was being held behind closed doors, but a top Western diplomat and a U.N. official said beforehand that restrictions on food imports for Iraq likely would be scrapped. Both spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity.

A Howard said. "The cause of the accident is still under investigation and we're not ruling out any possibility at this time," lie said. The crew of a Navy helicopter in the area and sailors from the destroyer USS Merrill reported a loud explosion and fireball about 2:30 a.m., about the same time radio contact was lost, Howard said. The collision came as one P-- 3 Orion was arriving to relieve the other, which had just completed its seven-hopart of the exercise. Officials were uncertain how much contact the pilots had before the crash, said Howard. ur The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, the Merrill and at least two other ships, along with helicopters and planes, assisted in the search. Visibility for the two planes was about six miles when they crashed, officials said. The P-were in contact with air controllers on the Lincoln and on shore during the exercise, but officials were uncertain who was directing' them at the vtime of the accident. Calling that "a very pivotal point," Howard said investigators will try to determine1 how the two planes wound up on a collision course. Thirteen crewmen were believed to be on one plane and 14 on the other. The planes were on a training mission from Moffett, which is near San Jose. "It's just not a good feeling right now at Moffett Field," said flier Joe Askin. About 5,500 military personnel are stationed there. Tina Krohn, whose husband is a pilot at Moffett, said the crash was her worst fear. "I'm scared for him every day," she said.
