Wife pleads for release* 0
of ill American hostage
irac keel e
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — The
wife of American hostage Alann
Steen, whose captors say he is ill and
may die soon, pleaded Wednesday
for his release.
There was no word of a French
man whose captors withdrew a
threat of death, then said they might
kill him after all.
In the plea for her 47-year-old
husband, Virginia Rose Steen said
kidnappers “should release people
that are sick so the person can get
the best medical treatment possible,
so I hope he would be released very
soon.”
Steen is held by an organization
calling itself Islamic Jihad for the
Liberation of Palestine, which said
Monday he was very ill and “may die
in 10 days.”
It offered to trade him for 100
Arab prisoners held in Israel and de
manded that the United States inter
cede with Israel.
The U.S. and Israeli governments
refused the deal.
Another group, the Revolution
ary Justice Organization, has re
newed its threat to kill Jean-Louis
Normandin, a 35-year-old French
television lighting engineer kidnap
ped March 8, 1986.
“The organization announces that
the execution of the spy, Norman
din, was not postponed and was not
canceled,” the organization said in a
statement issued Tuesday.
The group is believed to consist of
Shiite extremists loyal to Iran’s Aya
tollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
On Monday the kidnappers re
leased a videotape in which Nor
mandin said his abductors had de
cided to spare his life. They
previously threatened to kill him
Tuesday.
Al-Ittihad, a newspaper in the
Persian Gulf emirate of Abu Dhabi,
quoted “well-informed diplomatic
sources” as saying Syrian troops de
ployed in west Beirut had located
Steen and the three other men kid

Senate Democrats
fail on third effort
to stop filibuster
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate
Democrats, after failing a third time
to choke off a Republican-led filibus
ter, abandoned on Wednesday their
drive to force President Reagan to
fully account for all assistance flow
ing to Nicaragua’s Contra rebels.
The Senate voted 54-46 in favor
of cutting off the filibuster, but that
was six votes short of the total
needed to end debate. Still, it pro
vided evidence there may be a Sen
ate majority ready to reject new aid
installments.
“The vote bodes well for halting
Contra aid next fall,” said Sen. Alan
Cranston, D-Calif., the deputy Dem
ocratic leader.
“The 54 majority vote to stop the
filibuster clearly reflects the erosion
of support for the Contras,”
Cranston said. “It shows the growing
concern over the cover-up of what
happened to the money for the Con
tras, money that has either vanished
or gone into illegal channels.”
Senate Democratic Leader Robert
C. Byrd, D-W.Va., was more cau
tious.
He had said earlier in the week
that he wanted to show that a “con
stitutional majority” of at least 51
votes could be rallied against Contra
aid.
But Byrd told reporters on
Wednesday that reaching that level
now does not automatically mean
the Senate will defeat Reagan’s re
quest for an additional $105 million
for the Contras when it reaches the
Senate floor this fall.
“The $105 million will have a
hard time,” Byrd said. “But events
between now and then could affect
votes — including mine.”
He cited possible new disclosures
or conclusions from the congressio
nal investigations of the Iran-Contra
affair as well as unexpected events in
Central America.
At the same time, Byrd renewed
appeals for the Reagan administra
tion to “get behind" the peace pro
posals of Costa Rican President Os
car Arias and to shift emphasis away
from policies which he said place ex
cessive reliance on military force.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., said Wednesday’s vote made
clear that “the handwriting is on the
wall that the current installment of
U.S. military aid is the last instal
lment.”
The filibuster by Contra-aid sup
porters prevented action on a
House-passed resolution to freeze a
$40 million aid installment, origi
nally approved last year, to permit
time for a full accounting of all
money, private as well as public,
which has reached the Contras.
Wednesday’s vote on closing off
the filibuster was the third of the
week. Byrd said it would be the last.
“The Republicans for the most
part are blocking action on this mea
sure so I don’t think there is any
point in staying on this,” he said.
On Monday, those seeking to end
the filibuster fell far short, in a 46-45
vote, of the 60 votes — three-filths
of the 100 senators — needed to
shut off debate. On Tuesday, the
Senate split on the issue, 50-50.
