Bush rewards Czechoslovakia
for purging communist rule
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush gave invest
ment and trade rewards to Czechoslovakia Tuesday for
overthrowing communist rule but told President Vaclav
Havel the United States wouldn’t retreat from a precau
tionary “strong military presence” in Europe.
Bush gave a warm welcome to the first of Eastern Eu
rope’s new reform leaders to visit the White House.
He called Havel, a one-time dissident playwright who
went from prison to the presidency in a year’s time, “a
man of tremendous moral courage, one of the heroes
of the revolution of’89.”
The two leaders talked for 2 , A> hours, in the Oval Of
fice and over lunch.
Afterward, Havel said the talks had been “very
warm, very open, very friendly,” and he invited Bush to
visit Prague.
Bush announced a waiver of the Jackson-Vanik
amendment that restricts trade relations with commu
nist nations that inhibit Jewish emigration.
The waiver clears the way for negotiation of a trade
agreement and the eventual award of most-favored na
tion trading status, which would provide Czechoslova
kia with the most liberal access possible to American
markets. In return, the Czechoslovak Parliament would
have to enact a law ending the former communist gov
ernment’s restrictive emigration policies.
Bush also authorized the Export-Import Bank to op
erate in Prague and said he would support readmission
of Czechoslovakia to the International Monetary Fund
and World Bank. Bush authorized sending Peace Corps
volunteers to Czechoslovakia by autumn to teach En
glish.
Regarding military forces, Havel has called for disar
mament throughout Europe and has asked the Soviet
Union to withdraw the 75,000 Soviet troops in Czecho
slovakia. Some Czechoslovak leaders have called for
eventual dissolution of NATO, along with the Warsaw
Pact, the Soviet-led alliance to which Czechoslovakia be
longs.
In his public comments, Bush said, “I know I can
speak for all Western leaders when I say that the Atlan
tic Alliance will continue to play a vital role in assuring
stability and security in Europe at this great and historic
moment.
“And America will continue to play its part, including
a strong military presence for our security and for Eu
rope’s,” said Bush, who has proposed that the United
States and Soviet Union reduce their troops in Central
Europe to 195,000 on each side.
Bush, in the private discussions, talked at length
about a need for U.S. troops in Europe and portrayed
NATO as a stabilizing factor at a time of great tran
sition, said Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Seitz.
Seitz quoted Havel as saying, “There is no doubt
about the stabilizing role of NATO and the United
States.” And he said the Czechoslovak president agreed
on a need for NATO and U.S. forces until “new secu
rity structures emerge in Europe.”
Bush said NATO perhaps should have a broader
role than at present, Seitz said.
Moreover, the official said Bush told Havel “he did
not envisage the U.S. presence going on forever and
ever and ever and ever. ... It was contingent on the U.S.
presence being centrally welcomed in Europe and that
if the United States were no longer welcomed in Eu
rope, the U.S. forces would come home, forthwith,
right away, last one out, turn out the lights.”
Havel told Bush he expects Soviet troops to be with
drawn from his country “on a pretty prompt timetable.”
Discussing the turmoil in the Soviet Union, Havel
told Bush “it was important that the Soviet Union not
experience ... political earthquakes.”

Halbouty
(Continued from page 1)
on the work of the business world.
“Japan has outstripped us with
our own technology,” he said. “The
United States has been too busy with
corporate raidings, making money.
We have deteriorated and lost our
standing.”
Halbouty said that it is also the
business industry that has led to the
country’s recent educational decline.
“Corporations are reducing the
country’s brainpower by hiring peo
ple without even a high school edu
cation,” he said. “Our educational
deterioration began when big busi
ness lost its principles.
“The way we conduct our business
affects every other aspect of our so
ciety, especially education.”
After reading the October 1989
issue of Newsweek, Halbouty said,
he was shocked with the results in a
poll of the country’s high school se
niors. More than 50 percent of those
polled said they would risk facing a
jail sentence if they could make ten
million dollars illegally in the stock
market.
“The lack of ethics among these
students is terrifying,” he said.
In his presentation, Halbouty
urged people not to confuse their
greed with ambition.
Halbouty was appointed by Presi
dent Reagan as leader of the Tran
sition Team on Energy. He has
served on many governmental en
ergy-related committees and com
missions.
In March he will become the first
non-Soviet to be awarded with an
honorary degree of Doctor of Geos
ciences from the Soviet Union’s Aca
demy of Sciences.
However immoral the business
world has become, Halbouty said, it
will return eventually to its original
values.
“The ’80s were a devastating de
cade for industry,” he said. “But as
one who believes in Americans, I
feel that we will see light at the end
of the tunnel that has enveloped us.
Our morals will come back.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Bush administration is pushing re
search into a possible new combatant
in the war against cocaine — a cater
pillar with a taste for coca leaves —
but officials said Tuesday that the in
sects won’t be deployed in South
America unless local governments
approve.
“We are not undertaking any bi
ological war,” said Marlin Fitzwater,
President Bush’s spokesman. “Nei
ther troops nor caterpillars will go in
without prior request and consulta
tion.”
Peruvian and Bolivian growers
supply the vast majority of the
world’s coca leaves, the raw material
for cocaine.
The embassies of Peru and Bolivia
did not respond to several requests
for comment on the proposal first
reported by the Washington Post in
Tuesday’s editions.
The administration’s drug budget
proposal for the Agricultural Re
search Service for fiscal 1991, start
ing Oct. 1, is $6.5 million, a $5 mil
lion increase over the money to be
spent this year.
The principal focus of that re
search is the malumbia, a white moth
that eats coca plant leaves when it is
still in its caterpillar stages, officials
said.
“This i$ quite a voracious caterpil
lar,” Waldemar Klassen, associate
deputy administrator for the ARS,
told the Post. “If we could put them
down there in sufficient numbers,
we could then defoliate the plants.”
Both Fitzwater and Don Hamil
ton, a spokesman for national drug
control policy director William Ben
nett, emphasized that the insect re
search program is in the experimen
tal stage.
“The Department of Agriculture
is studying not just coca but other
drug plants as well to learn as much
about them as possible,” Fitzwater
said. “This research includes study
of herbicide and natural enemies of
these plants ... this program is exper
imental. Absolutely no potential tool
will be considered for use until it is
proven to be safe and effective.”
Fitzwater said the subject of bi
ological war against drug crops was
not broached at last week’s drug
summit in Colombia.
Environmental activists were di
vided over the proposal.
Maureen Hinkle, the National
Audubon Society’s director of agri
cultural policy, said, “1 think that it's
an approach that bears exploring.
“Biological controls, when they
work, work like a ballet,” Hinkle
said. “The only problem is they need
to make sure that the selectivity of
the caterpillars is for the coca plants
and not to other crops.”
But Sandra Marquardt, pesticide
information coordinator for Green
peace U.S.A., said the “drug hug”
idea “might be a proposal that needs
to be nipped in the bud.”
“It’s an expensive proposition and
probably won’t work the way USDA
wants it to work,” Marquardt said.
“The reason is that USDA wants to
use an insect and the coca growers
have insecticide, so they will just use
insecticide to kill USDA’s insect.”
Coca growing and processing al
ready are “extremely destructive” to
the environment because of the in
secticides and the harsh chemicals
employed, Marquardt said.
