or reject the resolution. “They are obligated
to accept, but the U.N. thought it best to ask for
return-receipt requested,” Rice said.
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.

Enron sign and logo
removed from office
HOUSTON (AP) — Enron
Corp. made its headquarters a
little less conspicuous over the
weekend.
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.
