Waite sighted
BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) —
Two taxi drivers said they saw
missing hostage negotiator
Terry Waite walking in a
southern Beirut suburb Thurs
day with an escort of about 10
gunmen and four turbaned
Shiite Moslem sheiks.
Waite, the 6-foot-7 Anglican
Church envoy, was last seen by
reporters Jan. 20 when he left
the Riviera Hotel in west Beirut
to meet the kidnappers of two
Americans. Since then. Waite
has not contacted the church or
his family.
The taxi drivers, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, told
The Associated Press they saw
Waite walking with his escorts
in a street close to the Lebanese
capital’s airport highway at
about 3 p.m. Thursday.

Protesters arrested
MERCURY, Nev. (AP) — Ac
tors Martin Sheen, Kris Kristof
ferson and Robert Blake were
among 438 anti-nuclear ac
tivists arrested Thursday at the
Nevada Test Site after listening
to six congressmen promise to
fight for an end to nuclear
testing.
More than 1,000 activists
gathered for the demonstration
at the test site’s gate. They lined
both sides of the highway three
and four deep while protesters
who wanted to risk arrest walk
ed down the middle to a cattle
guard where they faced off with
sheriff’s deputies and security
guards.
Among others arrested when
they stepped across the cattle
guard were astronomer Carl
Sagan and peace activist Daniel
Ellsberg.
Energy Department
spokesman Jim Boyer said 433
of those arrested would be
charged with trespassing and
five would be charged with
resisting arrest. Those arrested
were taken in buses to nearby
Beatty, Nev., for court hearings.
It was the largest demonstra
tion and the largest number of
arrests in more than six years of
protests at the desert site 65
miles northwest of Las Vegas.
Plans abandoned
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
United States, rebuffed by
France and two other close
allies, was forced Thursday to
abandon plans for a seven
nation meeting in Rome on
countering the rising tide of
terrorism.
Although State Department
officials said military steps were
not on the agenda, the reluctant
allies did not wish to participate
in a conference held in the
shadows of a U.S. military
buildup in the eastern
Mediterranean.
With eight Americans held
hostage in Lebanon, there was
apprehension that the United
States might strike out in
retaliation, as it did last April
against Libya.
France, which initiated the
boycott, and Britain and West
Germany, which also declined
invitations to attend, all have
hostages in Lebanon.
The session was to have open
ed Friday and focused on the re
cent spate of abductions.
Trust must be rebuilt
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
chairman of the Senate In
telligence Committee said
Thursday the Iran-Contra
uproar shows the need to
restore trust between Congress
and the spy agencies, while
Reagan administration officials
appealed to Congress to con
tinue the flow of U.S. aid to the
Nicaraguan rebels.
Sen. David Boren. D-Okla..
predicted there will be some
proposals to tighten procedures
for informing Congress of
undercover activities. He said
that while he would endorse
some changes in that respect. “I
think the most important thing
is attitude. You have to rebuild
trust.”
Congress backs industry
WASHINGTON (AP) —
[Declaring the nation is “in the
economic fight of our life.”
senators Thursday unveiled a
sweeping trade bill they said
would boost U.S. industry but
not “crawl into the hole of
protectionism."
Sponsors said the bill would
help the United States compete
with Japan and create more of
the high-paying jobs that have
dwindled as the nation has
moved from manufacturing to
service industries.
“If these trends continue
much longer. American
workers will end up like the
people in the biblical village of
old who were condemned to be
hewers of wood and drawers of
water,” Senate Finance Com
mittee Chairman Lloyd Bent
sen, D-Texas. told a news
conference.
Almost as soon as the
measure was introduced,
however, some of its more than
55 co-sponsors said they would
move to toughen its provisions,
which would give the ad
ministration authority to con
duct international talks in
return for a report to Congress
on U.S. objectives.

BPA must prove need
OLYMPIA {AP) - A Senate
committee on Thursday
unanimously endorsed legisla
tion that would ask the Bon
neville Power Administration to
prove that its proposed utility
rate hikes are necessary to meet
federal treasury payments and
other costs.
The Senate Energy and
Utilities Committee also voted
6-0 in favor of a second
memorial urging Congress to re
ject a Reagan administration
proposal to sell or “privatize”
BPA in order to settle BPA’s na
tional treasury debt of about $8
billion.
There was little discussion on
that second measure. Senate
