U.S. praises allies; says it won't expel Libyans
WASHINGTON The Reagan administration
praised European allies Tuesday for taking steps
to rein in Libyan diplomatic personnel while
revealing it has decided against expelling Libyans
from the United States.
Noting the arrest of 21 Libyans in Britain and
moves by other European countries to curb trade
with Libya and restrict the movements of its
diplomatic personnel, White House spokesman
Larry Speakes said, "These are the kind of steps,
this is the kind of cooperation that is essential if
we're going to combat terrorism on an interna
tional basis."
But Speakes also said, "Quite frankly, though,
more needs to be done."
President Reagan's chief spokesman declined
to spell out what he meant by that. However,
Speakes did say, "we will take up these kinds of
issues at the economic summit in Tokyo" from
May 4-7.
While saying it was heartened by the arrest of
the Libyans in Britain and the move by a dozen
European nations to restrict the size and activities
of Libyan missions known as "People's Bureaus,"
the administration disclosed it had weighed
ordering the estimated 2,000 to 3,000 Libyans
out of this country.
"We have considered whether to send them
home and have decided not to," John Whitehead,
deputy secretary of state, said in an appearance
before a pair of House Foreign Affairs subcom
mittees. But in response to questions, Whitehead also
said FBI surveillance of Libyans in the United
States was being stepped up after last week's
raid on Libya.
The United States did not expel the Libyans,
he said, because "there will be a Libya after
Khadafy" and it may help the U.S. position in a
post-Khadafy Libya if some Libyans have been
closely exposed to the United States;
There were other developments:
O Matthew Scocozza, assistant secretary nf
Transportation for international affairs, said the
United States has a list of 1 7 foreign airports that
are considered "high risk" for terrorist incidents.
The list is classified, he said, but Scocozza also
said there is no reason yet to warn Americans not
to travel through those airports.
O The Washington Post quoted U.S. officials
as saying that within minutes of an April 5
explosion that blew up a West Berlin discotheque
and killed an American serviceman, the East
Berlin Libyan "People's Bureau" sent a message
to headquarters in Tripoli saying an operation
was "happening now."
Kids against AIDS
go to alternative school
RUSSIAVILLE, Ind. Twenty-one
youngsters whose parents don't want
them in class with AIDS victim Ryan
White began attending an alternative
school Tuesday in a former American
Legion Hall.
"The presence of Ryan makes me
very nervous," said Chad Gabbard, 1 2, a
seventh-grader who said he had two
classes with Ryan at Western Middle
School.
Charles Ryers said Dean Leicht
established the Russiaville Home Study
School for sixth- and seventh-grade
pupils after ajudge dissolved an injunc
tion on April 10 and allowed Ryan to
return to the seventh grade.

Ryan, who contracted acquired im
mune deficiency syndrome through
blood products used to treat his hemo
philia, is from Kokomo but is assigned
to Western Middle School in rural
Russiaville.
Health officials have said repeatedly
that AIDS cannot be transmitted
through casual contact, but some
parents believe there is no guarantee
against that.
Also Tuesday, attorney David Rosse

Ryan's presence in the classroom, filed
a notice of appeal asking Clinton Cir

Britain
to expel
21 -Libyans
LONDON Britain rounded up 21
Libyans Tuesday and said it would
expel them for "revolutionary activity."
Prime Minist er Margaret Thatcher said
her government is considering further
actions against Libya, but not economic
sanctions.
The only detainee whose name was
announced was Adel Masaoud, 23, an
airline pilot trainee who threatened to
form an anti-U.S. suicide squad a month
ago during the U.S.-Libyan confronta
tion in the Mediterranean.
The 2 1, all university students except
for Masaoud, were among 7,500 Libyans
living in Britain and were picked up in
early morning raids around the coun
try, the Home Office said. They were to
be deported soon.
The swift British action is based on a
Common Market decision announced '
Monday to restrict Libyan activities
around Europe.
No immediate reaction came from
Libya. But in Moscow, the official
Soviet news agency Tass said London
had joined a "vicious anti-Libyan cam
paign" which Tass said was launched
by Washington. Tass said accusations
of Libyan involvement in revolutionary
activity were a pretext for the arrests
and deportations.
Thatcher told the House of Com
mons she would have liked the Com
mon Market to take more sweeping
measures against Libya and she revealed
that Britain has opposed selling Euro
pean food surpluses to Libya at cut
prices. .-.
