MOSCOW — Exiled dissident
leader Andrei Sakharov said Tues
day, in a statement issued through
the fiancee of his stepson, he had in
effect been deprived of his academi
cian status by the Soviet Academy of
Sciences.
Sakharov earlier in the day tried to
call a news conference but was pre
vented from talking to reporters by
militiamen.
In a message from Gorky where he
was exiled last month, Sakharov said
he received a telegram from the pre
stigious Soviet Academy of Sciences
relieving him of his responsibility to
attend the annual academy confer
ence which opened Tuesday.
“The participation in the general
session of the Academy of Sciences is
the right and duty of each member
according to its statutes,” Sakharov
said. “To my request to participate,
the presidium (of the academy) re
plied by in effect taking upon itself
the responsibility to deprive me of
that right and to relieve me of my
function as an academician.”
Lisa Alexeyeva, the fiancee of
Sakharov’s stepson, telephoned
several Western reporters Tuesday
morning and invited them to a news
conference to be held in Sakharov’s
apartment.
When the reporters arrived, they
were confronted by two Soviet
policemen who told them that Lisa
Alexeyeva was not in the apartment
and that they could not go in.
The policemen said only Ruth
Bonner, Sakharov’s mother-in-law,
and Maria Podyapolsky, an elderly
friend of the Sakharov family, were
in the 7th-floor apartment.
“We are here to protect Ruth Bon
ner,” was the only explanation the
policemen would offer for their pre
sence to arriving reporters, who in
cluded camera crews from the NBC
and ABC networks.
Sakharov’s friends and relatives
have said they fear the Academy may
be asked to vote for the expulsion of
the distinguished nuclear physicist.
The official news agency, Tass, re
ported the opening in a brief dis-

EL PASO — High level Mexican
and U.S. officials are directing a
cooperative program for emergency
health care along the 1,950-mile bor
der to benefit citizens of both coun
tries.
Cooperation in emergency medic
al care is one of 10 public health cate
gories which the U.S. Surgeon Gen
eral, his Mexican counterpart and
the director of the Pan American
Health Organization agreed to
address when they signed a Compre
hensive Health Agreement in April,
1979.
The nine other categories are im
munization, tuberculosis, maternal
and child care, environmental
health, health system planning and
evaluation, use of comparable statis
tics, economic analysis, disease sur
veillance and exchange of Spanish
language health education materials.
These will be discussed at the Border
Health Association’s annual meeting
April 20-23 in Saltillo, Mexico.
health effort is a program that has
been operating in the San Diego,
Calif.-Tijuana, Mexico, area since
1976.
For instance, if an American
citizen is seriously injured in Ti
juana, he is first taken to Tijuana
General Hospital and given
emergency treatment, health offi
cials said. The Mexican doctor tele
phones a physician at Bay General
Hospital in Chula Vista, Calif., ex
plains the treatment provided and
makes arrangements for an Amer
ican ambulance to transfer the pa
tient to Bay General.
The cooperative agreement allows
U.S. and Mexican officials at the bor
der crossing to “just wave them right
on” when the ambulance arrives,
said Sarah A. Markarian, director of
the San Diego County Emergency
Medical Services.

On the other hand, if a poor Mex
ican citizen is injured in the San
Diego area, he is taken to the hospit
al of the University of California at
San Diego and the co*unty pays the
bill, she said.
