BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) —
The king has approved a ban on log
ging, which was blamed for causing
floods that killed more than 350
people, a newspaper reported Sun
day.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej signed
decrees Saturday that empowered
the agriculture minister to revoke
301 logging concessions.
Those concessions are in 4.8 mil
lion acres that straddle national
parks and wildlife conservation
areas, I he Nation said.
The decrees, approved by the
Cabinet on Tuesday, are expected to
be passed by Parliament when it
opens in May.
“We have almost no forests left,”
The Nation quoted Prime Minister
Chatichai Choonhavan as saying.
“The principle is that we have to
protect the remaining forests,” he
told the newspaper.
In the November floods, people
were killed as mud, felled logs and
trees rolled down barren hillsides
and buried villages.
The prime minister said Thailand
would import logs and wood prod
ucts from Malaysia, Burma, Laos
and Indonesia.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
bunting is draped, tuxes are rented,
hair is coiffed, hotels are f illing up,
strings are tuned, caviar is spread
and the champagne’s on ice. Wash
ington is ready to party.
True to a grand old American tra
dition, it will take George Bush less
than a minute at noontime Friday to
repeat the 35-word oath of office
making him President of the United
States. But his well-wishers will re
quire four days to celebrate.
When the last drink is spilled and
the last dance is over, they’ll leave
town with a $25 million hangover af

The party officially begins
Wednesday afternoon with a candle
lighting ceremony at the Lincoln
Memorial and reaches a glitzy cre
scendo Friday night at no fewer than
11 inaugural balls where upwards of
60,000 invited guests are paying for
■ the privilege of jostling for brief
1 / j I glimpses of Bush and his vice presi-
^ ■ dent, Dan Quayle.
In addition to the 16 official inau
gural events — including a sobering
worship service for 2,800 people
Sunday morning at Washington Ca
thedral — there’ll be hundreds of
cocktail parties, receptions, teas,
dances, dinner parties, breakfasts,
buffet lunches, hootenannies and
shindigs from Embassy Row to
downtown corporate suites.

for its power clientele, the posh Ritz-
Carlton Hotel says it has imported
60 pounds of white truffle mush
rooms from Paris (at $400 a pound),
1,000 pounds of wild boar sausage,
1,080 quail eggs, more than a ton of
Norwegian salmon, 800 quarts of
raspberries and nearly 7,000 bottles
of wine.
Dining around town will range
from box lunches for inaugural pa
rade spectators to a lavish black-tie
candlelight dinner for Bush, Quayle
and Republican Party stalwarts and
fat-cat contributors at newly refur
bished Union Station. The inaugural
dinner is so popular, even at $1,500
a plate, that it will spill over into the
Corcoran Gallery of Art and the
sprawling Pension Building.
A soup kitchen dinner will be
served to the homeless outside
Union Station while diners inside
feast on Maryland crab loaf, mush
room-stuffed roast loin of veal, as
paragus bundled in carrot curls, a
green salad with Vermont cheddar
cheese and — for dessert — apple-
cranberry brown betty with cinna
mon ice cream and bourbon custard.
The most expensive show in town
is the star-studded inaugural gala
for 12,000 invitation-only guests
Thursday night at the Washington
Convention Center, where an eight-
seat box is selling for $25,000.
The two-hour show, to be broad
cast live on CBS television, features
such top Broadway and Hollywood
talent as Frank Sinatra, Anita Baker
and Julio Igiesias. There’ll also be
classical music and — in deference to
Bush’s taste for country and West
ern music — down-home singing by
such Nashville, luminaries as Randy
Travis and Loretta Lynn.
For inaugural fans with smaller
pocketbooks, there’s a salute to Bar
bara Bush in all three major halls of
the Kennedy Center at midday
Thursday.
Film company offers
Reagan role in movie
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A
film company working on a low-bud-
get movie about basketball great
Pete Maravich wants the nation’s
best-known actor, President Reagan,
to take his first movie part in 20
years.
“Basically his appeal reflects the
theme of the movie, which is the
American dream, having a dream
and going after it despite the odds,”
Darrel Campbell, writer-producer of
“The Pistol,” said.
“Ronald Wilson Reagan started
out like a lot of common people and
then dreamed big dreams and be
came an actor and then became
President of the United States,
leader of the free world,” he said.
Members of L.A. Production
Group asked Reagan to play a cameo
part as principal of Maravich’s high
school in South Carolina, and
they’ve gotten the governor and
some other politicians into the act.
Gov. Buddy Roemer, U.S. Rep.
Richard Baker and former U.S. Rep.
Henson Moore have written Reagan
about the project, Associate Pro
ducer L.E. Wallace said.
But the filmmakers may have to
wait in line.
“The president’s future plans
have not been determined at this
point,” White House spokesman
Ben Jarratt in Washington said.
“There have been other movie of
fers. There’s a lot of interest in the
president, in the entertainer.”
Maravich, who played for New
Orleans and Boston in the NBA,
died in January 1988.
