U.S., Libyan forces
now at standoff
(continued from page 1)
that specified any Libyan plane or
boat approaching them in the gulf
was to be considered hostile.
“But there have been no new inci
dents to report; no hostile action
from the Libyans,” he said. “U.S.
forces have remained outside Libyan
territorial waters, but have contin
ued to operate in the gulf itself.”
When it announced the latest
exercise — the fifth off Libya’s coast
since January — the Pentagon set a
deadline of April 1 for completing
the maneuvers. Sources who re
quested anonymity said Wednesday
the U.S. vessels would almost surely
be withdrawn earlier as long as Libya
did not mount any further attacks.
Sims said, “We have demon
strated that we have the right to op
erate in international waters. You
have to do that periodically. There’s
nothing unusual about a freedom-
of-navigation exercise. What is un
usual is that Mr. Khadafy chose to
react to it with force.” •

Sims, in assessing the military situ
ation, refused to say how close
American planes were flying to the
Libyan coast. On Monday and Tues
day, he said no planes had come
closer than 40 miles to land.
There were some indications the
Navy jets might not be flying as
deeply into the gulf as they had done
earlier. Sims, when asked if the ra
dar facilities around the missile bat
tery at Sirte had been repaired and
returned to service, refused to an
swer directly.
dared it was “a time of war.” The
U.S. government, fearing terrorist
reprisals by the Libyans, tightened
security at government buildings in
the United States and at embassy
buildings abroad.
Libya’s official radio called for
Arab suicide squads to attack U.S.
embassies and other interests world
wide, exhorting the “Arab nation” to
be transformed “in its entirety into
suicide squads and into human
bombs, missiles and aircraft to deter
and resist terrorism and destroy it
for good.”
State Department spokesman
Redman called the situation “poten
tially dangerous” and said Ameri
cans abroad were being advised to be
careful.
Redman denied a New York
Times report that the U.S. naval
forces were sent into the gulf as a
way of showing Khadafy that terror
ism would not be tolerated.
Rather, he said, the maneuvers
were intended “to demonstrate,
once again, we do not accept the
Khadafy regime’s claims” to the wa
terway.
In Moscow, Soviet leader Mikhail
S. Gorbachev sharply criticized the
United States for its armed clashes
with Libya, and proposed opening
talks on withdrawing all U.S. and So
viet warships from the Mediterra-
Pentagon sources, meantime, said
the Navy had three combat ships still
steaming in the Gulf of Sidra — the
cruiser Ticonderoga and destroyers
Scott and Caron — but that the car
riers Coral Sea, Saratoga and Amer
ica remained at stations well to the
north in the Mediterranean.
The return of relative calm to the
region occurred as Khadafy de-
At a Kremlin banquet for Alge
rian President Chadli Bendjedid,
Gorbachev said the Soviet Union has
to permanently base ships in the
Mediterranean only because of the
U.S. presence there.
In his first public comment on the
confrontation, Gorbachev said:
“The imperial bandit face of neo
globalist policy has become clearly
visible in the past few days. The day
before yesterday, American weap
ons were used against independent
and sovereign Libya. Now, the
U.S.A. is not stinting words to justify
that act of aggression.”

defeated the proposal by a 222-210
vote last Thursday.
Reagan approved $20 million in
emergency aid to Honduras on
Tuesday to help it cope with the re
ported incursion.
American officials said the heli
copters were ferrying about 500 to
600 Honduran soldiers to the salient
in four Huey and 10 Chinook heli
copters of U.S. Task Force Bravo.
The task force of about 1,200 men is
permanently based at Palmerola, a
Honduran base about 60 miles
southwest of Tegucigalpa.
A U.S. Embassy officer in Teguci
galpa, also speaking on condition of
anonymity, said the American heli
copters were unarmed and would
drop the Honduran soldiers at what
he called a secure landing site at least
10 miles from the fighting.
The airlift represented an escala
tion of U.S. military involvement in
Honduras, where U.S. forces hold
almost continuous joint training
exercises with Honduran units.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said in Washington, “There
are reports of Sandinista troop re
inforcements on the Nicaraguan
side of the border with Honduras
and there is a question of what their
intent is. One of the goals (hat the
Hondurans have is to head off any
further Sandinista troop incur
sions.”
In Tegucigalpa, however, sources
close to the situation said there was

Senate looks for compromise
(continued from page 1)
by the White House “to magnify the
whole incident” involving the pur
ported Nicaraguan incursion into
Honduras.
Dole, who has said he wants a vote
on the issue this week, actively
sought a compromise as a means of
building a national consensus be
hind the president’s Central Ameri
can policies.
Dole said reports of the Nicara
guan raid had transformed the at
mosphere of the Senate debate and
called for a strong vote for aid to the
Contras to “send a message to Mana
gua” that Reagan has a united Sen
ate behind him.
Senate Minority Leader Robert C.
Byrd, D-W.Va., in an effort to en
courage negotiations, had sought a
number of changes in the Reagan
plan that calls for providing the
Contras $70 million in weapons and
$30 million in logistical support.
Byrd’s proposals were built
around Reagan’s pledge not to send
the Contra rebels “offensive” weap
ons during a 90-day period in which
the administration would seek to en
gage Nicaragua’s Sandinista govern
ment in negotiations.
Byrd and most Senate Democrats
had sought to keep pressure on the
administration by insisting on a sec
ond vote to approve the aid after the
expiration of the 90-day period.
That vote would enable either the
House or the Senate to block weap
ons shipments to the Contras.
