Iranian rebels say
forces have gone
60 miles into Iran
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iranian
rebels based in Iraq claimed Tuesday
their forces drove more than 60
miles back into Iran, and the Irani
ans said their soldiers had killed
more than 1,000 of the “counter
revolutionary elements.”
A seven-member U.N. team ar
rived in Tehran to work out details
of a cease-fire in the nearly 8-year-
old war, which both sides have of
fered to accept, and Iraq said it was
withdrawing its troops from Iranian
territory.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Ve-
layati of Iran and the U.N. secretary-
general, Javier Perez de Cuellar, met
for 90 minutes in New York.
Velayati said afterward: “We had
very constructive and fruitful talks
about the implementation of Resolu

The rebel spokesman also claimed

force, called the National Liberation
Army, destroyed the 27th Revolu
tionary Guards unit based between
Eslamabad and Bakhtaran, 90 miles
inside Iran in the central border re-

Iran acknowledged the invasion,
initially blaming it on the Iraqi army,

monitored in Nicosia, Cyprus.
But White House spokesman
Marlin Fitzwater told reporters in
Washington, “We have heard this
kind of thing before, but as far as we
are concerned you just can’t link the

they could send is to release the hos

Ali Riza Jaffafer Zada, a spokes
man for the Iranian rebel group
Mujahedeen Khalq, said its fighters
were advancing on Bakhtaran, a
provincial capital, and had “liber

He said the attack, code-named
“Eternal Light,” began at 3 a.m.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Iran
will use its influence to try to free
American hostages held in Lebanon
if Washington releases Iranian assets
frozen in the United States, the
speaker of Iran’s Parliament said
Tuesday.
The initial White House reaction,
however, was: “No deals.”
Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani, who
is also commander-in-chief of Iran’s
armed forces, said in a TV interview
monitored in Nicosia, “So long as
America keeps its hostile attitude to
ward Iran, there will be no sign of
any changes and there will be no ne
gotiations.”
Rafsanjani said that in order to
start negotiations, the United States
must take actions to prove that it is
not belligerent toward Iran.
One such action would be releas
ing Iranian assets in the United
States, he said.
The White House refused to
make any such pledge.

“No deals,” Fitzwater said. “The
clearest signal they could send is to
release the hostages.”
He noted that there had been a se
ries of Iranian statements in recent
days “and nothing has happened.”
Asked if the United States would
consider freeing the assets after re
lease of the hostages, Fitzwater said,
“I am not willing to make anything
that sounds like a deal.”

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL

helicopters were dispatched to
Yellowstone National Park on Tues
day to help protect the Old Faithful
geyser from a 5,500-acre blaze, part
of the worst series of fires in the
park in nearly a century.
Almost 1,000 firefighters were
summoned to the scene, but officials
had not decided, as of midday Tues
day, whether to actively fight the
fire, one of a dozen burning in the
oldest national park.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan
said Tuesday his pro-growth administration also
has been “staunchly pro-environment” and the
message being sent to polluters is, “You’re out of
luck.”
In a White House ceremony honoring 94 vol
unteer efforts to preserve the nation’s natural
treasures, Reagan recited a litany of successes by
his administration in protecting scenic rivers, en
dangered species of animals and fragile habitats.
Among those honored was the Texas General
Land Office’s innovative beach clean-up pro
gram along the state’s Gulf Coast shoreline.
Reagan said the administration has cracked
down on polluters with record numbers of crimi
nal convictions. He praised the Environmental
Protection Agency’s handling of toxic waste dis
posal, likening federal regulators to actor Clint
Eastwood’s tough-guy movie cop, Dirty Harry.
“The message to polluters is crystal clear,”
Reagan said. “We told them in the words of Dirty
Harry: ‘You’re out of luck.’ Cleaner air, cleaner
water, increased protection for American wildlife
—this pro-growth administration has also been
staunchly pro-environment.” Reagan told the
“Take Pride in America” awards ceremony.
Eastwood is a spokesman for the program.
“The same spirit of creativity and innovation
that’s created 17 million jobs has also benefited
the land itself, making America the beautiful
more beautiful,” Reagan said.
But a spokesman for the Sierra Club attacked
Reagan’s claims and said the administration’s re
cord on the environment is absymal and ranks as
“the worst ever in history.”
“There’s no question Reagan and his appoin
tees have cooperated to cut back virtually every
environmental program we have and have ig
nored facts on some of our new problems,” Da
vid Gardiner, legislative director of the Sierra
Club said.
Flanked by Interior and Agriculture Secret
les Donald Hodel and Richard Lyng, Reajp ! i| rc
used the occasion to say his administration I ibuse
“set the highest standards of enforcing the en'igrgg,
ronmental protection laws” and pointed to8’p ares
civil enforcement actions filed in his first te line
nearly 2.5 times the rate of the Carter adniii'Jemei
tration.
Gardiner said Reagan’s speech was an attempt
to boost Vice President George Bush’s bid for the
E residency because the environment has “clearly
ecome a campaign issue.”
Reagan praised the “Take Pride in America”
winners for their stewardship of the nation’s
“crown jewels.”
“You helped clean litter out of the Grand Can
yon, have given medical care to Alaskan wildlife,
planted gardens in Philadelphia and helped pre
serve the wetlands of California and much, much
more,” he said.
More than 540 groups and individuals were
nominated for the second awards ceremony. The
program is a public-private partnership involv
ing 44 states, two U.S. territories, nine federal
agencies and dozens of private organizations.
“But we didn’t stop there,” he said. “We took L^. j |
one step further and established the enviroi'iL} ,
mental crimes unit because in the past virtualj ^
no environmental cases were criminally p 1 nent
ecuted. We’ve obtained over 400 criminal indit , B ar{
