Daily Nebraskan Friday, March 6, 1987 By The Associated Press Page 2 House Democrats plan vote to cut Contra aM WASHINGTON House Dem ocrats said Thursday they plan a vote next week on legislation that would shut off further aid to Nicara gua's Contra rebels until previous aid is accounted for, including any money diverted from Iranian arms sales or solicited from private sources. The Democrats' move was seen as primarily an effort to focus atten tion on the administration's inabil ity to account for tens of millions of dollars in previous aid money, an r v ' . vl V. ...... i i issue already raised by last week's Tower commission report on the Iran-Contra affair as well as by con gressional investigators. President Reagan said Thursday that investigations of the Iran-Contra affair must continue but that he planned to turn his attention to other matters such as arms control. Congress, after a two-year ban on direct or indirect military aid to the Contras, last year approved a $100 million package for fiscal 1987. Reagan is expected to formally request the final $40 millon of that package in the next few days, and opponents could then press for a vote to disapprove the money. While such a move could succeed in the House, its outcome in the Senate is far less clear particularly since Reagan hired Howard Baker, the former Senate Republican leader, as White House chief of staff. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, D-W. Va., has said he supports the idea of holding up the last $40 million but Senate Democrats have not yet united behind it. House Speaker Jim Wright, D Texas, said a vote on the morato rium was scheduled for next Wed nesday, and aides said while the vote could be close, the legislation was expected to pass.

STORE JISlE In Brief India bans export of frog legs NEW DELHI, India India banned the export of frog legs Thursday, saying the amphibians were more valuable as live predators of mosquitoes in India than as gourmet dinners elsewhere. A statement issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests said the export ban, effective immediately, was to protect India's dwindling frog population. It said that rising demand for frog legs had led to the killing "Of a very large number of frogs . . .and a marked depletion of the population of frogs." To help enforce the export ban, the ministry said it was giving frogs "a special status of protection" under the nation's 1972 Wildlife Act.

' Israeli official apologizes to U.S. for spy affair TEL AVIV, Israel - Defense Minis ter Yitzhak Rabin on Thursday apolog ized to the American government and people for the Pollard spy affair. "The government of Israel apolog ized in the past, apologizes today, to the United States, its people, its govern ment for what happened," Rabin said in a prepared statement he read in English. The minister refused to answer report ers' questions. Johnathan J. Pollard, 32, a former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty to spying for Israel, and Wednes day was sentenced to life imprison ment by a Washington court. His wife, Anne Henderson-Pollard, was given five years for helping him. Pollard, who said he spied for ideo logical reasons, said his government officials in Israel knew of his spying. But Israeli officials have said Pollard's activities were not known to Israeli leaders. He said Israel had cooperated in "an unprecedented way" to uncover the details of the matter, had disbanded the spy unit that supervised Pollard and reiterated its "longstanding pol icy" of no espionage by Israel against the United States. Rabin said he hoped the "basic understanding, the long-standing friend ship and the common interests of our two countries will make it possible not to forget, but to overcome, this unfor tunate incident." Earlier Thursday, other Israeli lead ers admitted Israel had made serious errors in the affair. Even so, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres insisted the episode was an iso lated incident, and Israeli leaders bore no collective responsibility for it. U.S. arms negotiator gives NATO allies upbeat assessment of superpower weapons deal BRUSSELS, Belgium The chief U.S. arms negotiator gave the NATO allies an upbeat assessment Thursday of prospects for a superpower agreement to scrap medium range nuclear missiles in Europe, sources said. Max M. Kampelman and the two other delegates to the U.S.-Soviet arms talks in Genva, Maynard W. Gliman and Ron Lehman, briefed the 16 NATO ambassadors at a closed door, two-hour meeting before flying to consultations in Washington. The Geneva negotiations got new life last weekend when Sovilt leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev announced willingness to sign a treaty on medium-range missiles separately from a package accord covering long-range missiles and "Star Warst" the U.S. plan for a space-based defense system. The United States agreed in principle and submitted a proposed treaty to Soviet negotiators on Wednesday that would eliminate U.S. cruise and Pershing 2 and Soviet SS-20 nuclear forces from Europe. European countries have generally welcomed the pro gress but have urged that the deal include big cuts in shorter-range Soviet missiles capable of striking Western Europe. In Moscow, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the government's initial reaction to the U.S. treaty proposal was "very positive" and that the Kremlin wanted a final agree ment "as soon as possible." In his address to the North Atlantic Council, NATO's highest political body, Kampelman stressed that important obstacles to a formal accord remained, said the NATO sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Kampelman said much bargaining remained on the ques tions of verifying compliance with an agreement and linking the withdrawal of mid-range missiles to reductions in shorter-range Soviet nuclear rockets. The seventh round of Geneva arms talks originally was to end Wednesday, but after the Soviet initiative both sides agreed Monday to extend talks on medium-range missiles indefinitely.
