In the meantime, diplomats said there was talk of formulat ing a second resolution con demning Iraq but stopping short of explicitly authorizing military action. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the United States was open to the idea of a second resolution but the French ambassador, who is currently the president of the Security Council, said a majority of the council wouldn't support it now. Blix told The Associated Press Thursday that his assess ment of Iraq’s compliance over the past two months will be pre sented Monday to the Security Council as a speech, rather than a formal report, and won’t include samples taken during searches for weapons in Iraq. The report will be crucial for any U.S. decision to press the Security Council for military action against Iraq. Under U.N Security Council Resolution 1441, crafted by Washington, Iraq could be found in “material breach’’ — diplomatic language which could open the door to war — if it fails to cooperate with inspectors and disarm. According to the resolution the council is required to hold consultations over the inspec tors’ report. But the United States believes it doesn’t need Security Council approval to launch an attack if Iraq is failing to disarm. Other countries including France, Russia and China, believe a second would be needed to disagree, Germany, which all resolution authorize force. At this stage, all four coun tries are against military inter vention in Iraq and want inspec tors to be given more time. Several diplomats said there was discussion about bringing a second resolution to the council which would condemn Iraq for failing to comply with inspec tors but stop short of authorizing military action. Such a resolution could be seen as a compromise between the United States and allies who are unwilling to strike at Iraq in absence of concrete evidence that it is rearming. In Washington, Powell addressed the possibility of a sec ond resolution for the first time in two months, saying it was “an open question right now.” “I think we have always held a position that there is probably sufficient authority in earlier resolutions or in 1441, but we know that many of our col leagues in the Security Council would prefer to see a second res olution if it comes to the use of military force.” But French ambassador Jean- Marc de La Sabliere, speaking at the United Nations Thursday, said: “I'm not sure that a major ity of the Security Council is ready to adopt such a resolution. We see no need to another reso lution for the time being.” Gennady Gatilov. Russia’s deputy ambassador. said Moscow wasn't ready to throw its support behind a second res olution, whether it authorized force or simply condemned Iraq again. Blix said his speech isn't written yet but that it will build on an assessment he presented to the council on Jan. 9 in which he criticized Iraq for failing to provide pro-active cooperation and fresh responses to hundreds of questions inspectors have on the fate of Iraq's former biolog ical, chemical and nuclear pro grams. At the time Blix said inspectors hadn’t found any “smoking gun,” in Iraq. Since then, his teams have uncovered 16 warheads which Views differ on use of force in Iraq Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday that many nations would fight alongside American forces if the United States goes war in Iraq without U.N.

Inspectors also uncovered some 3.000 pages of documents at the home of an Iraqi scientist, some of which Blix said should have been mentioned in the weapons declaration as well. Blix said tests were still being conducted on some of the warheads. None of the results however will be detailed in Blix's report to the council Monday. “This is far too technical a matter to bring up unless« find something sensational ini sample but I have not had such report yet.” Blix said. Blix criticized Iraq forbidd ing his teams from using 2 American U-2 spy planet search for Baghdad’s weapons “There are areas where w are not satisfied and the U-2i one of them,” Blix said.
