The plan involves delays in filling nonessential administrative vacancies as well as cooperation by teachers in reducing the amount of absenteeism requiring the use of substitute teachers. "Unless we have full coopera tion, it will not happen," Edwards said during a news conference Thursday afternoon. Edwards said the plan was "very fragile" and would be eval uated monthly to determine whether it would succeed. Edwards was joined in the an nouncement by members of the Dallas Independent School Dis trict board as well as representa tives of four unions representing Dallas teachers. "The fact that we are all stand ing together for the announcement is significant in both real and sym bolic ways," Edwards said. "The fact is that the board and administration has worked hard through some very trying physical challenges to best balance the needs of our students and teachers with the interests of our ers," he added. The plan also involved acct ating teacher re-certification; freezing current administrat vacancies in the DI5D. The announcement comes days after DISD trustees rejer Edwards' call for an 18-percen: increase to cope with thelayo They instead approved almost million in other budget cuts,mtj ly in administrative areas. The board on Tuesday vote;! 3 against hiking taxes, whi ready had been tentatively selii a 17.5 percent increase. U.S. team to help at crash site Forensic experts will identify remains of persons killed in Conocojt] KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A team of U.S. forensic experts will help identify remains of those who died when a Du Pont Corp. executive jet crashed last week, killing 12 people from Houston, search officials said Thursday. The Grumman Gulfstream II was carrying five executives of Conoco Inc., four of their spouses and three crew members when it crashed Sept. 4 about 30 miles south of Kota Kinabalu on Borneo Island. The plane was trying to make a refueling stop on a flight from Tokoyo to Jakarta. Malaysian authorities said the American experts would arrive in a day or two to assist a Malaysian pathologist. Search officials said they planned to recover six bodies from a jungle ravine by use of a helicopter on Friday. The difficult terrain had thwarted efforts by rescue work ers to carry out the bodies, found Tuesday in the remote Crocker mountain range about 900 miles east of Kuala Lumpur. Other re mains have been taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kina balu. Conoco has identified those on the plane as: William K. Dietrich, 53, executive vice president of explo ration and production, his wife. Gayle, 54; Colin H. Lee, 55, exit tive vice president of refinii marketing, supply and transpor, tion, and his wife, Brooke, 53 K. "Kent" Bowden, 57, senioni president of administrationa: his wife, Connie, 56; James Mya 50, general manager of petroles coke and specialty productsai his wife, Linda, 41; and Anr Parsons, 35, executive assistant Lee. The crew were identified as pil; Kenneth R. Fox, 46, and Ga Johnston, 55, and mechanic Ste P. James, 40. The group left Houston on At 29. Drift continued from Page 2 Harder said the research will reconstruct what Asia looked like before the accident to determine how far Indochina moved south along fault lines. Harder and McCabe spent sev eral weeks collecting samples and data in Thailand and Vietnam to analyze when they returned to the United States. This was McCabe's second trip to Indochina in connection with the project. Last summer, he trav eled to Indochina to negotiate fu ture geological and geophysical studies. "The problem with *he project is getting to Indochina," Harder said. "There has been a trade em bargo against Vietnam since 1975, and this means monetary support is not possible through the United States government." The project is being funded through money raised by the U.S. Committee for Scientific Corpora tion with Vietnam at the Universi ty of Wisconsin. The committee raises funds to support academic and humanitarian research. There is a group of major inter national oil companies who have pledged more than a half million dollars to the project for the next five years. Harder said interest in the pro ject is definitely picking up,lx cause these oil companies arte ing the research for backgrour, information on further geologic studies. Harder stayed in Saigon a; Hanoi during his trip and vvassu prised at the positive receptio: "The reception was great," Hard; said. "I expected that we won! have some problems, but relate were easier than I expected. He said it will take years tofe ure all the research out, and ma: more questions will be raised; research continues. . . Harder and McCabe Willr; turn to Indturhina to-cpntiirUei: search in Nqyember.
