Similarly, brown police cars were stationed at the four driveway entrances to the State Department, six blocks west of the White House. Thursday cars or vans blocked five entrances there Information Received "We have received information of possible bomb threats and we have taken security measures, and they will be in effect until we feel the threat has been eliminated, said Anita Stockman, a State Department spokeswoman. Alan Romberg, deputy department spokesman, We learned of a possible threat and thats why the precautions were taken at the State Department. People feel there is a lot of vulnerability of buildings and that it ought to be paid attention to President and Mrs. Reagan were at their mountain ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., for the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Spokesman Larry Speakes said the rew moves were not a result of a specific threat against the White House but more of a routine security precaud Secret Service spokesman Mike Tarr refused all comment except to say that the trucks are there for security reasons. The State Department officials did not specify how or when the apparent bomb threat was received. But the unoccupied trucks and cars were the latest evidence of tightened security prompted by the Nov. 7 bombing of the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol and the Oct. 23 terrorist bombing of Marine headquarters in Beirut, which left 239 U.S. military personnel dead Auto traffic on the east side of the Capitol was restricted Friday to motorists carrying permits to park there.

Absent a disruption in supply or increased energy taxes, which some members of Congress are advocating to reduce the federal deficit, that should mean stable gasoline and heating oil prices for Americans. Hodel said upon his return this week from a trip to four Middle East countries that Saudi Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani is determined to prevent world oil prices from rising, as some OPEC nations are demanding, or from falling m response to the current glut. Theres clearly considerable concern in that softening part of the world about a short-terin price, Hodel said. But Yamani, who may well be in a position to know, was emphatic that it will not happen. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut its price $5 a barrel eight months ago in an effort to revive sales that had declined to their lowest level in more than a decade. That has helped reduce gasoline prices in the United States an average 3 cents per gallon in The De- oil ministers from the cartel nations are scheduled to meet in Geneva on Dec. 7 to All 13 map their 1984 strategy. and congressmen, are being searched by specially trained dogs sniffing for explosives.
