“Final laboratory analysis of tissue and lymph nodes

Mrs. Reagan’s prognosis for full recovery is excellent. ”
— Statement from Dr. John E. Hutton
“No further treatment is ex
pected, other than normal routine
examinations. Mrs. Reagan’s prog
nosis for full recovery is excellent,”
the statement added.
The first couple received the news
urban Washington, Reagan called
out to reporters, “I’ve got a date with
a girl out at Bethesda.”
Doctors removed the first lady’s
left breast and several lymph nodes
from under her arm Saturday in a
50-minute operation following a
needle biopsy that revealed a quar
ter-inch malignant tumor. The first
indication of the lesion came Oct. 5
during her annual mammography.
Hutton’s statement identified the
cancer as a “non-invasive intraductal
adenocarcinoma” that measured
about 7 millimeters.
Fitzwater said it was a common
form of breast cancer that had not
spread through the tissues.
Hutton’s statement said that while
preliminary laboratory tests showed
the cancer had not spread to the
lymph nodes or surrounding tissue,
final laboratory analysis would be
completed on Sunday.
Such tests on frozen sections of
the lymph nodes are crucial, because
the lymph nodes act as the body’s fil
ters for foreign matter such as can
cer cells, and physicians look to them
to determine whether the cancer has
spread to other parts of the body.
Fitzwater said Reagan had told
him that “the doctors say her recov
ery is ahead of schedule.”

Tehran. Iran’s foreign minister virtually ac
knowledged Iran launched the missile Friday
and hinted at more attacks.
Four U.S. Navy warships passed through the
Suez Canal on the way to the Persian Gulf area,
canal officials reported.
In Tehran, Iranian officials accused U.S.
forces of torturing four wounded Iranian sailors
detained in a clash in the gulf this month. The
four were repatriated to Iran Saturday.
The U.S. Navy began escorting 11 U.S.-rere
gistered Kuwaiti tankers in July to protect them
from attack by Iran, which considers Kuwait an
ally of Iraq in the 7-year-old Iran-Iraq war.
Salvage executives said it would cost up to $10
million to repair the 81,283-ton Sea Isle City af
ter the missile attack.
U.S. and Kuwaiti officials who inspected the
ship Saturday concluded the missile was a
Chinese-made Silkworm, U.S. military sources
said. Officials said it was fired from Iran-held
territory, 50 miles to the northeast from where
the tanker sat in Kuwaiti waters.
The blast injured 18 crew members, blinding
the American captain and a Filipino sailor, medi
cal sources in Kuwait said. Six remained hospital
ized Sunday, said the sources, who spoke on con
dition on anonymity.
“It was, from Iran’s point of view, a lucky
shot,” said one military source who spoke on con
dition of anonymity. “The missile was fired in the
general direction of the Kuwaiti terminal. It had
to hit something. Its radar guidance system just
happened to pick up the Sea Isle City.”

Aquino: Martial law
remains unnecessary
despite coup attempt
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
The government said it foiled a
coup attempt Sunday after rebel
soldiers stole an armored vehicle.
President Corazon Aquino said
martial law was “not yet nec
essary” despite continuing insta
bility.
The rebels stole the personnel
carrier from army headquarters
and drove it undetected to Santo
Tomas University despite a full
military alert. The six-man crew
abandoned the vehicle about a
mile from the president’s resi
dence and escaped with a ma
chine gun and ammunition.
Acting Manila Gov. Jejomar
Binay said renegade Lt. Col. Rey
naldo Cabauatan had planned to
launch an attack on the presi
dential compound from a campus
staging area.
Cabauatan, sought since a coup
attempt in January, denied any
role in the theft.
Presidential spokesman Teo-
doro Benigno said the incident
could have been staged to embar
rass a government still seeking to
restore public confidence after 53
people died in a coup attempt
Aug. 28.
The August military mutiny
was the gravest threat to Aquino
since she was swept to power in a
February 1986 civilian-military
rebellion that ousted President
Ferdinand Marcos.
Another opposition source,
speaking on condition of ano
nymity, said rebels planned to
mount a “military operation” but
it failed after someone tipped off
pro-government forces.
Troops and tanks rushed to
the presidential palace and the
university area and security was
increased at military installations
in the capital.
During a radio broadcast,
Aquino said she was asked if she
would declare martial law in the
face of Communist insurgency
and threats from opponents.
“I believe that during these,
times, those measures are not yet
necessary,” she said. “It is hard to
go back to martial-law days where
we saw so many abuses.”
The comments were taped Sat
urday, before the latest incident,
but were broadcast Sunday night
over government radio.
In an interview with the Asso
ciated Press, Cabauatan said the
incident Sunday points to wide
spread military opposition to
Aquino.
“I’m sure there are lots of small
organizations in the armed forces
as well as in the civilian sector that
intend really to topple the gov
ernment and establish a new,
genuine, true democratic govern
ment that will be responsive to
the people’s interest,” Cabauatan
said in a hideout in central Lu
zon, the island that includes Ma
nila.
“So what happened this morn
ing must be a group of individual
soldiers whose sentiments could
not be stopped any more,” he
said. “And I’m sure there are lots
of this kind in the armed forces.”
The incident began early Sun
day when the V-150, a light,
wheeled vehicle with a machine
gun mounted on the turret,
drove out of Fort Bonifacio, the
headquarters of the Philippine
army in suburban Makati.
Brig. Gen. Alexander Aguirre,
capital regional commander, said
troops went on maximum alert
late Saturday because of reports
of an impending coup. But he
said guards allowed the vehicle to
leave with an unauthorized Ma
rine driver and that they alerted
commanders only after he had
left.
