Olympic panel to rule on Harding case next weel
The Associated Press
LILLEHAMMER, Norway - Tonya Hard
ing's lifelong pursuit of a figure skating gold
medal could end next week at an Oslo airport
hotel, 110 miles shy of this Olympic town and
one week short.
The U.S. Olympic Committee, troubled by
Harding's links to the Nancy Kerrigan assault,
called a special hearing for next Tuesday to de
cide whether to bar the U.S. champion from
the Winter Games.
If Harding is banned, her only chance of
competing in Lillehammer would be through a
court order.
The USOC's decision to convene its Games
Administrative Board was buttressed by a 400-
page volume of evidence from a figure skating
federation inquiry, and by Harding's own
statements.
"It's not a matter of hearing more, it's a
matter of giving Tonya Harding a chance to
respond, which she has not had a chance to
do," USOC president LeRoy Walker said. He
said Harding could submit her case in person
or in writing, but hoped she would testify.
There was no immediate word if she would.
Interviewed on NBC's "Today," Walker
said the proceeding was similar to an adminis
trative hearing.
"But we would like to present her, in per
son, the charges and grounds for charges that
have been leveled by the (figure skating) panel
to get her response."
"They want to talk to Tonya," USOC execu
tive director Harvey Schiller said. "I think it is
a response that is required by the grounds sur
rounding the attack on Nancy Kerrigan."
The inquiry will deal more with"spe
manship and fair play aspects ratherft
criminal culpability," he said.
In Portland, Ore., Harding's attorney
Weaver, said he was reviewing the If
hearing notice.
John Ruger, a member of the panel
chairman of the USOC athletes advisoryi
mission, said the board was commit^
treating Harding fairly.
Harding will remain on the team uni
least the end of the hearing, which opens
15 at the SAS Park Royal Hotel, across
street from Fornebu Airport. That's three]
after the Winter Games begin and eight;
before the start of women's figure skating
Schiller said the USOC wanted tomee:

Political leverage no longer an issue
in Vietnam's return of MIA remains
The Associated Press
HANOI, Vietnam — Villagers may be
holding the remains of Americans lost in
the Vietnam War, or at least know about
them, but Hanoi is no longer keeping them
for political leverage, a U.S. official said
Monday.
Army Lt. Col. John C. Cray said some of
the 12 sets of remains believed to he those of
Americans that Hanoi gave to the United
States on Monday were turned in by vil
lagers.
The latest repatriation ceremony at
Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport came four days af
ter President Clinton lifted a 19-year trade
embargo against Vietnam. Cray, head of the
MIA office in Hanoi, said the ceremony had
been planned three months ago to coincide
with the completion of two major search op
erations in December and January.
"This is the first repatriation ceremony
since the embargo has been lifted," Cray
said. "I think that instead of hurting, it will
in fact enhance our process."
President Clinton had made the lifting of
the embargo contingent on Hanoi's cooper
ation and progress in the fullest possible ac
counting of those missing since the Vietnam
War.
U.S. veterans groups and families of
MIAs opposed the end of the embargo, say
ing the United States would lose its leverage
in forcing Vietnam to cooperate in account
ing for the 2,238 American MIAs.
They charged that Hanoi was holding
back remains to advance its political agen
da. Vietnam also seeks a resumption of
diplomatic relations.
"We have no evidence that they're hold
ing any warehouse full of remains as oc
curred in the past," said Cray. "Are there
some Vietnamese villagers scattered
throughout the provinces that may have in
dividual sets or have knowledge of where
American remains might be. Yes, 1 believe
that.
"And in fact, we find that each time we
have a large joint field activity and we reach
to the outer edges of some of the provinces,
the people come forward and either turn
over remains or guide us to where they
think they recall many years ago a burial
site. That's part of how we came to recover
ing these remains."
"We're going to continue to work as
hard as we can ... to make greater progress
and continue to provide answers to the fam
ilies that have waited so long," he said.
Cray said that since the end of the em
bargo, the Vietnamese have shown their
commitment to the fullest possible account
ing, and over the weekend made plans to
join more than 100 Americans on another
search operation beginning Feb. 26.
"I believe that they will continue to work
with us," said Cray. "I think this issue is
just going to cause a better understanding.
It's giving them feedback that we do recog
nize the efforts they've achieved to date."

Sarajevo
Continued from Page 1
ringed by Serbian gunners in the hills who
fire on their enemies below.
One shelling Saturday killed 68 market-go
ers and injured 200 others.
So, it was perhaps no surprise that Sarajevo
observed the anniversary of its Winter Games
with more funerals and rage at the Serb gun
ners who "have broken the Olympic record in
murder."
In the shadow of Zetra stadium, where the
Olympic flame was lighted Feb. 8, 1984, 20
victims of the market massacre were laid in
graves hacked from the hardscrabble ground
of a former soccer field.
The stadium has been struck by Serb shells,
many fired from cannon and mortar emplace
ments set up on ski slopes and bobsled runs
on the Olympic heights surrounding the city.
At a commemorative ceremony in the na
tional theater, a girl's choir called "The
Snowflakes" — named for Sarajevo's Olympic
emblem — lip-synched to "The Flame is Still
Alive," the city's Olympic theme song.
The mood among the 100 Sarajevans in at
tendance was dejected but dignified.

WASHINGTON - Stores and dairies S€

products as coming from "cowsnottri

That information must be put in "the;

That means the label also havetocar

The product is technically "recombinrar adei
