Bomb safe off
Washington-President Carter announced Thursday he
is canceling the sale of a controversial concussion bomb to
Israel and may even ban the weapon from US. arsenals.
Through Press Secretary Jody Powell, Carter said he has
decided not to sell CBU-72 bombs "to Israel or any other
nation" and that the United States is "reassessing the need
to retain the weapons in our own inventory." The CBU-72
is dropped by parachute from a jet plane. Upon
detonation, a highly volatile fuel mixes with air, causing
, a powerful concussive effect. A commitment to supply
Israel with the bombs was made by former President
Gerald R. Ford and then-Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger shortly before the November presidential
election.
Carter letter
Moscow-Soviet Dissident leader Andrei D. Sakharov
said Thursday he received a personal letter from President
Carter that reaffirmed Carter's commitment to support
human rights. Sakharov, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, said
the letter was the first he had ever received from the VS.
government and that it closed with the sentence, "I am
always glad to hear from you, and I wish you well."
Uuter s lour-paragrapn letter, dated reb. 5 and delivered
today through the US. embassy here, also said, "you may
rest assured that the American people and our govern
ment will continue our firm commitment to promote
respect for human rights not only in our own country
but also abroad."
Off-shore rights
New York-Declaring that a former VS. secretary of
the interior had ignored enviornmental law, a federal
judge Thursday ruled that a $1.13 billion sale of off-shore
drilling rights in the Altantic Ocean was null and void.
U.S. District Judge Jack B. Weinstein, sitting in Brooklyn,
rescinded the sale of the drilling rights to 39 oil companies
on the grounds that Thomas Kleppe.when he was interior
secretary, violated tb National Environmental Policy Act
in the way he allowed the sale. Weinstein stayed his entire
ruling pending any appeals. The judge ordered a halt to
any activity involving off-shore drilling in the ocean.
Live rounds
Ft. Bragg, N.C.-The Army declined to suspend a live
fire exercise after an 81 -mm mortar round wounded IS
officers and enlisted men of the 82nd Airborne Division.
. Eleven of the injured were hospitalized at Womack Army
Hospital here, including a lieutenant colonel in serious
condition. Four enlisted men were treated and released
following the accident Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Roscoe
Robinson, division commander, immediately appointed an
investigative board to determine the cause of the accident,
an Army spokesman said.
Guard actions
The chief of staff of the Nebraska Army National
Guard has been removed from his post, another officer
has resigned his commission and reprimands have been
issued to three other men as a result of last summer's
mock hanging of a black Nebraska National Guardsman.
Maj. Gen. Edward C. Binder, adjutant general of the state
Guard, reported his actions to Gov. J. J. Exon Thursday.
The actions were taken as the result of investigations and
findings in the "mock hanging" of black Guardsman Dan
Briscoe of Lincoln during training exercises with
Mississippi National Guardsmen in Georgia last summer.
