U.N. inspector: Question of
war or peace up to Iraq
LARNACA, Cyprus (AP) — The chief U.N.
weapons inspector landed in Cyprus Sunday to
assemble his team for a return to Baghdad and
said the "question of war and peace" awaits an
answer from Saddam Hussein.
President Bush has warned that Saddam faces
military action if he fails to cooperate fully with
the inspectors, who will fly to Iraq on Monday.
Saddam faces a three-week deadline to reveal
weapons of mass destruction or provide convinc
ing evidence he no longer has any.
Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix and Mohamed
ElBaradei, overseeing the International Atomic
Energy Agency's search for nuclear arms, flew to
Cyprus from Vienna, Austria. They joined about
two dozen other members of the advance team
assembling here to prepare for a resumption of
inspections after a nearly four-year absence.
"The question of war and peace remains first of
all in the hands of Iraq, the Security Council and
the members of the Security Council," Blix said.
Blix, who will lead the overall mission, said his
team was prepared to meet the challenge of
ensuring Iraqi compliance.

Sept. 1 1, Ewing said.
“We realized that in fact we had an enor
mous amount of expertise in bioterrorism,”
he said.
The new wording in the Homeland
Security Act calls for the center to have capa
bilities in border and transportation security;
emergency preparedness and response; chem
ical, biological, radiological and nuclear
countermeasures; and information analysis
and infrastructure protection, Ewing said.
Ewing said A&M is the only university in
the world with these capabilities.
“We have enormous expertise in air
planes, trains, ports and waterways, highway
systems and pipeline systems,” he said in ref
erence to border and transportation security.
A&M is also one of three universities in
the nation that are touted as centers for bio
terrorism research, he said.
A&M has developed a cooperative plan
among the four Texas university systems that
will build bridges and make the center "a
Texas center,” Ewing said.
Ewing also touched on other research
projects within A&M and the distribution of
research funding the University receives, in
his keynote address.
Another newly established program is the
Technology Transfer and Commercialization
Initiative, which looks to develop stronger
ties with the corporate sector and receive
more funding from industries, he said.
The program will also emphasize com
mercialization of technology, he said.
“It’s very important that we look inward
ly and see if we can develop resources from
within at a much better fashion,” Ewing said.
“We can’t expect the state to support us.”
He said 23 entrepreneurs visitedAi l >|
last week regarding the new projectr
added that A&M President Dr. Rober'j
Gates is excited about changing the cute
of the University.
“We’re not taking away from thete;
core functions of the University, E .|
said “We’re nisi adding somethingnwiajp^ue w
