Bereuter said PAC's constitute
about 38 percent of his campaign
receipts. Most of those contribu
tions range from $250 to $500
and come from groups either
headquartered or located in Ne
braska, he said.
Bereuter said he opposes the
MX missile and other proposed
military systems. He favors the
presidential line item veto, at least
on a trial basis. A veto of this type
allows the president to delete
rxaliaracrfarongrcrIproved
bill without having to reject the
entire package. He said he should
like the Pentagon to require mul-
tiyear contracts from bidders to
lessen the much-publicized over
pricing of parts.
A coalition of business groups
awarded Bereuter the Watchdog
of the Treasury award, which
recognzies the fiscally most con
servative one-third of the House.

WASHINGTON The FBI Thursday announced it has
thwarted a plot to assassinate Honduran President Roberto
Suazo and overthrow his government. The FBI said two Hon
duran businessmen, a high-ranking Honduran military officer
stationed in Santiago, Chile and a number of unnamed U.S.
citizens were charged in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court
in Miami They allegedly planned to execute the government
takeover between Oct. 15 and Nov. 15, but the FBI said it was
able to thwart the plot by penetrating the group wih an under
cover agent.
The FBI said the undercover agent was promised $300,000
including a $100,000 advance, to arrange the assassination of
Suazo. The complaint further alleged the group plotted to
acquire weapons, explosives, tanks, airplanes and other mil
itary equipment for the assassination and overthrow of the
Honduran government. The FBI agent and the would-be assas
sins were to make their way independently into Honduras and
then were to receive further assistance from others involved in
the plot

air strip in southern Florida on Sunday. The cocaine, valued at
$10.3 million, was from Colombia and was to finance the
aborted plot
Poles plan Popielnslio's burial
WARSAW Cardinal Joief Glemp Thursday gave permis
sion for murdered Warsaw priest Father Jerzy Popieluszko to
be buried at the church he made a center of opposition to
communist rule. Glemp, Poland's Catholic primate, sent a per
sonal emissary to the Church of St. Stanislaw to say he made
his decision "in response to the will of the people."
The body of Popieluszko, a militant anti-communist and
supporter of the banned Solidarity free-trade union, was found
on Tuesday, 1 1 days after he was kidnapped by police officers.
Church leaders had originally planned to bury him at a ceme
tery near St Stanislaws. Tens of thousands of opposition sym
pathizers, including solidarity leader Lech Walesa, are expected
to attend the funeral Saturday. Hundreds of people lined up at
St. Stanislaw's to sign a petition urging Glemp to permit the
burial to take place at the church.

to spend her days counseling other pr isoners. She savs addic
tion to priscription drugs drove her to murder. More than
4,000 letters have been sent to North Carolina Gov. James Hunt
recently pleading for the life of Barfield.
