for a lease on the property with five years free for leveling the surface with fill material provided by the city The operation would produce 1000 jobs the company said Texas Interests is based in Houston but according to US State Department spokesman Dan Santos the company has subsidiaries both in the United States and Hong Kong One of the principal subsidiaries is Baldwin Aircraft a company with headquarters listed in Carson City Nev Santos said Baldwin held the original license to deal aircraft parts overseas but that license has since been turned over to Texas Interests Allison — who said he was a former principal of Texas Interests and is now a consultant — said he recommended Ogden as a site for Makris because of the area’s professionally geared work force the grindstone work ethic of the Mormon people the proximity to graphite producer Hercules Inc in Magna and the airport’s obvious need to attract more business The Salt Lake City office of the FBI was first alerted to the investigation when Texas Interests approached that city with a similar — proposal in about a month before Ogden was queried Alan Rindlisbacher of the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce said the city did not have the space needed for Texas Interests at the time of the proposal He added that the city has not heard back from the company since it asked Texas Interests to produce financial documents de Associated Pres A Syrian soldier stands guard in west Hamra commercial thoroughfare Saturday while people inspect the age caused by six days of fighting Syrian intervention forces

Beirut suburb of Khaldeh shortly after nightfall State-ru-n White House clique planned Libyan raid magazine says NEW YORK (AP) — A small group of White House officials plotted last April's bombing of Libya as a way of assassinating Moammar Gadhafi but the attempt failed because guidance systems on some bombers didn’t work according to an article to be published today According to the article which is to appear in today’s New York Times magazine planning for the Libyan attack involved many of the same people who were working on sending arms to Iran including Vice Adm John M Poindexter and Lt Col Oliver North The article written by Scy- - mour Hersh quotes unidentified sources as saying that Israeli intelligence had pinpointed Gadha-fi’- s location but that laser guidance systems on four of nine failed and the bombs missed The Washington Post reported last year that the Reagan administration had hoped to kill Gadhafi Administration officials denied vehemently at the time that Gadhafi’s personal quarters were targeted official One administration speaking on condition he not be identified told The Associated Press on Saturday that people involved in target planning said the The

“consummate negotiator” with a good memory who could be precise when he wanted to be and equally vague when it served his purpose Texas attorney Ted Hirt testified in a 1973 case involving Makris US District Judge Carl O Bue Jr summed up competency-hearinevidence on Makris in a southern Texas case in 1975 The case ended up in Makris being convicted of two counts of perjury stemming from the 1970 Houston Sharpstown State bank scandal He served a prison sentence for these convictions as well “The consensus of those testifying in this hearing and at the trial is that the defendant was a person of unusual mental abilities prior to the removal of the pituitary adenoma” Bue wrote Makris underwent surges for a benign tumor in his pituitary gland in April 1970 "The operation entailed extensive manipulation of the frontal lobes of the brain as well as destruction of the pituitary gland it Air pollution index Carbon monondt levels: m a Bountiful Ires Ogden (re s d"''' a Ogden (down's Sad Lar

Aviation Inc during the Apollo milproject and served on several itary advisory panels on aerodynamics Allison and Makris said Storms is the chairman of the board of Texas Interests — a statement Storms denies The discussions in Houston broke down after Makris refused to produce financial documents requested by Wolfe both Allison and Wolfe said “They acted like the Gestapo" Makris said In a Jan 29 letter to the Makris said “We came out with the feeling that Ogden was not interested in our project but that they were some sort of investigating committee looking for something wrong” The city sees it differently Mayor Robert A Madsen said the city only wanted basic assurances from the company including prospectuses “The principals to date have been unwilling to give us verification with respect to their background and experience with self” wrote 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Charles Clark in a ruling on a 1973 appeal of the perjury conviction Medical testimony in the Houston case indicated Makris was fine when not under stress but stress could make it difficult for him to control his conduct Ogden Airport Manager John Wolfe who negotiated with Makris in Houston over the airport proposal said he found the Houston entrepreneur “impressive” But he called Makris’ companion Harrison Storms projects of such magnitude" Madsen said we did "It was preposterous not try to hide information" AIlw son said The company had decided Og den was its top candidate as a site for the plant and would turn re over all the information quested by Wolfe if the city gave the company a letter of intent to accept the project Allison said But Wolfe insisted on seeing the documents first and the negotia tions ended he said Makris said the FBI had been to his Houston office on one other occasion and he felt Ogden officials’ actions were responsible for bringing the company under investigation But Ogden officials and the FBI denied that Ogden initiated contact with the FBI concerning the company “So these two dummies (Wolfe and the man Makris supposed was a city councilman) not only wasted our time and money for six weeks but wasted God knows how much government money on this irresponsible investigation" Makris said in a letter to the they (cities ap“Usually proached with a development proposal) roll over backwards for us” Allison said In a Jan 8 meeting the City Council announced that “no realistic and credible proposal was ever offered" to which Madsen later added “I think the city has come up smelling like a rose on this one” Makris said the company found another site for the plant but would not say where because it dealt with “sensitive defense equipment" Allison said the new plant is in Oklahoma but he also would not identify what city citing the same reason More than two weeks after Ogden turned down the proposal in a Jan 26 letter to city and economic development officials Allwav ison said the company withdrawing its offer Storms has extensive aerody-namics credentials He was vice president and chief engineer for North American Aviation Inc was involved in engineering for the Apollo program and has served on military and civilian
