The Oslo-based Nobel Peace Prize committee has received nom inations for 100 individuals and 30 organizations, committee secretary Geir Lundestad said Tuesday. That is higher than last year’s previous record of 129, “and will probably end up even higher,” Lun destad said. The committee is still receiving nominations postmarked by the Feb. 1 deadline, and is likely to add its own candidates when it meets on March 3. This year’s prize, worth about $1 million, will be an nounced in mid-October. The committee, which works in deep secrecy through its Five or six meetings a year, refuses to reveal the names of candidates, partly to protect some of them from perse cution at home. However, those making the nominations often an nounce their candidates. This year’s known nominations include Clinton for efforts to protect world peace and promote democracy, for mer President Carter for wide- ranging peace efforts and Richard Hol brooke, the ITS. official who bro kered the 1995 Clinton accord that brought an end to Bosnia’s fighting.

Americans, most oft Pope, Yeltsin meet atVatkj “Extremely cordial” talks fail to produce papal visit tol VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John Paul II and Russian Presi dent Boris Yeltsin held long, warm talks Tuesday that fell short of arranging a papal visit or a meeting with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. The talks in John Paul’s private library lasted 50 minutes, and the Vatican described them as “ex tremely cordial.” But Yeltsin’s spokesperson, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, said the two men did not even discuss a visit by the much-traveled pope to Russia or a first-ever meeting with the Russian Orthodox patriarch, which the Vatican has been trying to set up. The pope still has a standing invitation to Moscow, first issued by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1989, pa pal spokesperson Joaquin Navar- ro-Valls said after the talks. Such a visit would be unlikely anytime soon because of differ ences between theVatican and the Russian Orthodox Church. Wliile “John Paul II was extremely satisfied with this meeting.” Sergei Yastrzhembsky Yeltsin's spokesperson restrictions on religion were lifted with the fall of communism, that opened Russia to what Orthodox leaders call overzealous missionary work by Catholics.
