Kuwait to cut
oil production
United Press International
KUWAIT — Kuwait will cut
back daily oil production 25 per
cent beginning in April, Kuwaiti
Oil Minister Sheikh Ali Khalifa As
Sabah said Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters before
his departure for London, the
minister said Kuwait “is deter
mined to cut back its oil produc
tion from 2 million barrels to 1.5
million barrels per day.”
The vast majority of Kuwait’s
oil exports go to the Far East and
Western Europe. None goes to
the United States.
As Sabah’s declaration pro
ceeded the opening session of the
strategy meeting of the Organiza
tion of Petroleum Exporting
Countries in London Thursday.
He said the aim of the meeting
was to “develop a long-term
strategy for OPEC.”
The OPEC strategy committee
includes Venezuela, Kuwait,
Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and
Algeria. Iran has said it would not
attend the London meeting.

Guatemala City Jan. 31 to free six
hostages taken by leftist peasants.
Only Ambassador Maximo Cajal
Lopez survived.
The spokesman said ministry offi
cials negotiating with leaders of the
Danish and Belgian embassy take
overs had made progress and added
he was optimistic the issue would be
resolved quickly, but declined to go
into details.
Two pregnant Danish Embassy
employees left the mission Thursday
night, but Ambassador Vagn Hoel-
gaard and five other embassy staffers
chose to stay despite the peasant’s
assurances they were free to go.
The 30 unarmed peasants mar
ched into the missions Monday and
vowed to stay until the government
stopped stealing peasant lands and
beating, torturing and even killing
some peasants who complained.
They demanded the government
free 100 alleged political prisoners
and account for 600 others who “dis
appeared” over the past several
years. The government has stead
fastly maintained there are no poli
tical prisoners in Mexico.
A secretary at the Danish Embas
sy told UPI Wednesday morning
that the situation was peaceful, with
some 19 peasants quietly passing the
time in the embassy’s outer waiting
lounge.
The six embassy staffers locked
themselves into the inner offices
when they received advance warn
ing of the sit-in. They have refused to
leave the mission, despite the
peasants’ assurances they are free to
do so.
At the Belgian Embassy, a diplo
mat who declined to identify herself
said about 10 peasants were con-

KHARTOUM, Sudan — Chevron
