An economic noose slowly tight
ened around Iraq Tuesday.
Turkey shut down the Iraqis’ vital
oil outlet to the Mediterranean,
abiding by a U.N. trade embargo or
dered to punish Iraq for last week’s
lightning conquest of Kuwait. In
Saudi Arabia, the Iraqi oil flow was
reportedly slowing to a trickle
through another pipeline.
Despite the global pressure, Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein re
mained defiant, declaring in a na
tionwide speech he would never
back down.
“We would rather die than be hu
miliated,” he said, “and we will pluck
out the eyes of those who attack the
Arab nation.”
A crisis atmosphere took hold in
Washington, where Bush called to
gether his Cabinet to review options
for squeezing Iraq and rolling back
its invasion force, which the White
House declared posed an “imminent
threat” to out-manned Saudi Arabia.
One option was a multinational
naval blockade. But in Moscow the
Soviet Foreign Ministry deflated ex
pectations that even the Soviet navy
might join such a maritime boycott,
declaring that “naval muscle-flexing
... is not the best line of action.”
Later, the Pentagon source said
the president ordered deployment
of U.S. combat troops and warplanes
to Saudi Arabia .to help protect the
U.S.-aligned desert kingdom against
Iraq.
The sources said the units are ex
pected to include the 18th Airborne
Corps from Fort Bragg, N.C.; the
24th Division (Mechanized) from
Fort Stewart, Ga.; and the 101st Air
borne Division from Fort Campbell,
Ky.
Current events may force
postponement of oil test
WASHINGTON (AP) — A gov
ernment agency’s pretend oil supply
crisis drill may be postponed because
events in the Persian Gulf could
cause a real one, a spokesman said
Tuesday.
The Department of Energy
planned a mock crisis in October
with oil companies and states to test
distribution of the Strategic Petro
leum Reserve, a 590-million barrel
emergency supply kept in Texas and
Louisiana.
But Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait is
causing officials to think about post
ponement, DOE spokesman John
Donnelly said. A decision may be
made later this week, he said.
“There’s a possibility that we
might actually use the (reserve) and
if we do that makes the test moot,”
Donnelly said. “Who knows what
could happen?”
Congressional Democrats asked
President Bush to tap the reserve
now, in order to stop the energy
price spiral the Iraai invasion
started. But Deputy Energy Secre
tary Henson Moore has said the re
serve would not be used to flood the
market and drive prices down.
John Easton, deputy assistant sec
retary of energy for international af
fairs and energy emergencies, told a
House panel Tuesday the agency is
ready to use it if there is a “severe
energy supply interruption.”
President Bush interrupted the
supply of oil from Iraq with an em
bargo after last week’s takeover.
During the first four months of
1990, the United States imported
about 700,000 barrels a day, 4 per
cent of its demand, from Iraq and
Kuwait.
The reserve was established in re
sponse to the 1973-74 Arab oil em
bargo and built to its current size at a
cost of about $20 million. It has been
tapped only once, when Congress
ordered 2 million barrels auctioned
to oil companies in 1985.

Another source said the American

force, a condition set by the Saudis.
Capitol Hill sources said Egypt and
Morocco were joining the effort.
As diplomats worked to arrange
for evacuation of Americans and
other foreigners stranded in Kuwait
and Iraq, tensions heightened along
the Saudi border with Kuwait.
Travelers reported seeing Saudi
missiles deployed along the frontier,
and a Beirut newspaper said the
Iraqi occupation force in Kuwait in

^ K receives small
in South Africa despite cease-fire
voter turnout
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — the Afri
can National Congress’ decision to end its armed strug
gle against the South Af rican government is just a first
step in what promises to be a long and difficult quest for
peace.
There is no guarantee the two sides will find a peace
ful solution to three centuries of racial conflict. There is
growing violence and the threat of major confrontation
as rival groups struggle for power.
ANC leader Nelson Mandela announced Tuesday af
ter talks with the government that his group was ending
its military operations. The cease-fire clears the way for
talks on ending white-minority rule.
“The way is now open to proceed towards negotia
tions on a new constitution,” the two sides said in a joint
declaration.
The two sides have made enormous strides since
President F.W. de Klerk legalized the ANC and other
opposition groups in February and freed Mandela after
2/ years in jail. In just a few months, the white govern
ment that created apartheid has pledged to share
power with the black majority.
South Africa’s racial conflict has been going on for
some 350 years. In that time there have been virtually
no attempts to have blacks and whites live together in
peace and equality.
Political violence has soared since de Klerk legalized
opposition groups and began political reforms. Most of
the violence pits rival black factions against each other
as they scramble for power.
Some 4,000 blacks have been killed in savage fighting
in Natal Province in recent years between ANC groups
and Inkatha, a conservative political movement. The vi
olence is spreading to other provinces and enveloping
other groups.
The violence seems to be growing despite repeated
promises from the ANC and the government to make
every effort to stop the killings.
The peace process also faces violent resistance from
right-wing whites who oppose any settlement with the
black majority. The extremists have demanded the cre
ation of a separate white state.
White extremists have been implicated in a recent
wave of bombings and killings. Security officials say
even a few dozen white extremists, heavily armed and
with supporters in the security forces, could cause
havoc.
Enormous divisions remain between whites and
blacks. Each group has little understanding or knowl
edge of the other. Contact between most whites and
blacks is minimal and there is enormous distrust and
fear on both sides.
Whites still dominate politics and the economy. Offi
cial figures indicate that 5 percent of South Africans,
virtually all of them white, own 88 percent of the coun
try’s wealth.
The ANC and other opposition groups contend that
political equality must be matched by a drastic redistri
bution of wealth to quickly ease the plight of the mil
lions of poor blacks. The government agrees there is a
need for change, but opposes any scheme that would
threaten free enterprise and private property.

New Colombian President
declares war on drug lords
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) —
Economist Cesar Gaviria was
sworn in Tuesday as president of
Colombia and vowed to wage an
unrelenting war “without conces
sions” against his country’s drug
traffickers.
In remarks prepared for deliv
ery, the new president proposed
setting up an international crimi
nal court to try drug traffickers,
who he said were guilty of
“crimes against humanity.”
Gaviria was sworn in at 4:22
p.m. EDT.
Despite a cease-fire purpor
tedly declared by drug traffickers
last month, security was tight for
the inauguration ceremonies,
which were attended by 88 for
eign delegations. The United
States was represented by Vice
President Dan Quayle, who ar
rived Tuesday morning.
Four armored U.S. Blackhawk
helicopters equipped with missiles
accompanied Quayle’s helicopter
from the airport to an army base.
Gaviria, 43, who was elected in
May to a four-year term to re
place President Virgilio Barco, in
herits a nation weary of its fight
w'ith terrorists and drug traffick
ers and looking for an end to the
violence.
Barco, who was prohibitied by
the constitution from running
again, received international
praise for launching the govern
ment’s war against drug traffick
ers one year ago. Barco will re
portedly become Colombia’s next
ambassador to Britain
“Drug trafficking is the main
threat against our democracy. We
will fight it without concessions,”
Gaviria said, according to a text
of his inauguration speech made
available to reporters.
But he said Colombia cannot
win the fight alone, and must re
ceive help from the United States
and Western Europe.
He said Colombia is not a
wealthy country, and called on
the major industrialized nations
to lower their trade barriers to
help Colombia finance the drug
war.
“It’s not direct economic aid, or
military assistance we need most.
It’s fair treatment. It’s free
trade,” Gaviria said.
He also said the United States
and other countries must do
more to cut consumption of co
caine.
“No success is possible if the
consuming countries do not
achieve a substantial reduction in
demand,” he said.
Young finishes behind
opponent in July primary
Associated Press
Lt. Gov. Zell Miller scored a
whopping victory in Georgia’s
Democratic gubernatorial runoff
Tuesday, dashing Andrew
Young’s hopes of becoming the
nation’s second elected black gov-
With 87 percent of precincts
reporting, Miller had 500,211
votes or 63 percent and Young
had 290,577 votes or 37 percent.
Young, a former Atlanta
mayor, congressman and U.S.
ambassador to the United Na
tions, finished 12 percentage
points behind Miller in the pri
mary July 17. Two polls released
last week showed him trailing by
as much as 20 points heading into
the runoff.
That showing came in spite of
an aggressive runoff strategy in
which Young suggested that
Miller, a white moderate who has
been lieutenant governor for 16
years, pushed banking legislation
that helped his friends.
Miller, 58, denied the charge
and kept plugging away at the
major themes of his campaign, in
cluding support for a state lot
tery.
Young, also 58, conceded tha!
the polls showed he would need a
“miracle” to win, but added,
“Pollsters have never known what
they’re talking about.”
The winner of the runoff faces
Republican Johnny Isakson in
November. Democratic Gov. Joe
Frank Harris was barred by las*
from seeking a third consecutive
term.
In Kansas, first-term Gov
Mike Hayden fought for survival
in a Republican primary as his
chief opponent, real estate exec
utive Nestor Weigand Jr., tried to
capitalize on voter anger over
higher property taxes. On the
Democratic side, former Gov
John Carlin was favored to win
the first round of a comeback bid
Two other states also held pri
maries. Michigan Republicans
picked opponents for two Demo
cratic incumbents seeking third
terms — Gov. James Blanchard
and Sen. Carl Levin. Polls showed
Rep. Bill Schuette a heavy favor

the right to challenge Levin. State
