On Sunday, Arab League foreign ministers ended meetings in Cairo, Egypt, with a final communique urging cooperation between Iraq and the United Nations. The Arab ministers also called on the United States to commit to pledges Syria said it received that the resolution could not be used to justify military action. They also put forward a united position of “absolute rejec tion” of military action. In a statement Monday, Saudi Arabia urged the Iraqis to accept the resolution “in order not to pro vide any opportunity for harm to come to the Iraqi people.” Parliament is stacked with Saddam’s allies. During opening speeches aired live on Iraqi tele vision. lawmakers applauded every mention of Saddam’s name in speeches praising “His Excellency Mr. President, the holy warrior leader Saddam Hussein.” Wafa Samir, a 30-year-old teacher, watched the speeches on television at a Baghdad shopping cen ter. “For how long will they keep issuing resolu tions and expect Iraq to implement them?” she asked. “They have to stop some time for the Iraqis' sake.” On convening the session, Hamadi, the parlia ment speaker, told lawmakers the resolution “does not have the minimum of fairness, objec tivity and balance,” and violates international law. “The ill intentions in this resolution are fla grant and loud in ignoring all the work that has been achieved in past years ... and takes the issue back to square one,’’ Hamadi said. “This resolu tion includes many impossible demands that can’t be executed.” Iraq maintains it no longer has any weapons of mass destruction. Lawmaker Ismail Nasif Jassim called the 30-day period for Iraq to provide docu ments on its weapons programs “illogical and a way to provoke Iraq.” The U.N. resolution gives inspectors unre stricted access to any suspected weapons site and the right to interview Iraqi scientists outside the country and without Iraqi officials present — both issues that could become points of dispute. Jassim called the provision for interviewing scientists “a violation of human rights because it demands of any Iraqi they want to interview to travel abroad with their family." Iraq has insisted on respect for its sovereignty, an argument it has used in the past to restrict access to Saddam's palaces. “Whoever formulated the text of that resolu tion deliberately chose (points) that contradict Iraq’s sovereignty and conflict with the dignity of the people,” Hamadi said. Saeed Mousawi, a senior official at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, noted the resolution had changed the rules by expanding the inspectors’ powers to decide where to go and whom to inter view. “This decision creates a wide ground for upcoming crises, and not for a solution,” he told the parliament.

The bankrupt energy giant’s trademark “tilted-E” signs were removed from outside the glass 50-story building, as was a wall mounted version of the logo at a lobby reception desk that was visible from the street. Spokeswoman Karen Denne said Monday the two outside signs were put in storage. The signs, along with other surplus Enron equipment and memora bilia, will be sold at auctions next year to raise money for creditors. The featured vowel at Enron’s third auction, Dec. 3-5, should be the rotating black tilt ed E that once lit up part of the lobby at the company’s head quarters, Denne said.
