Rainbow trout pond ready for fishermen The College Station Parks and Recreation Department will stock pond number one at Central Park on Krenek Tap Road with 2,000 Rainbow trout today in cooperation with the Texas Wildlife Department. A freshwater stamp is required in addition to a valid fishing license if you catch, or attempt to catch, freshwater trout, said Kelley Cole, public communica tions director for the City oi College Station. Cole said fishing licenses are not required foi anyone under 17 or over 65. Stamps may be purchased at any sporting goods store. There is a daily bag limit offive fish per person and all freshwa ter fishing laws will be enforced, Cole said. Fishing is free and open to the public. Powell Continued from page 1A shells. The U.N. specialists worked alongside a team of Iraqis — the sort of show of cooperation by Baghdad that administra tion officials have repeatedly dismissed as a charade. There were fresh signs of diplomatic stress as the United States sought to prod other governments to swing behind mili tary action. Despite the dispute at NATO, French President Jacques Chirac’s spokeswoman said the European leader had told his Turkish counterpart by phone that Paris “would assume its obligations if Turkey were really threatened.” In the Persian Gulf region, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain became the first Arab states to announce they were sending troops and weapons to defend Kuwait against a possible Iraqi attack. In his appearance before Congress, Powell said he believed it was still possi ble to “rally the international community” to back up the threat of an earlier United Nations Security Council resolution to use force to disarm Iraq. But he said the “moment of truth” was approaching, and that the United States was prepared to lead a coalition against Saddam, whether the United Nations approved. The next diplomatic checkpoint at the United Nations is set for Friday, when the chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, is to present a fresh report on Iraqi compliance with international disarmament demands. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Powell would spend the day in New York, and that among the ministers on hand would be Dominique de Villepin of France, Joschka Fischer of Germany and Tang Jiaxuan of China, all of whose govern ments oppose conflict with Iraq. France, Germany and Russia unveileda plan this week to triple nuclear inspectors in Iraq from the current level of about 110, add surveillance aircraft to the effort and take other steps to bolster the inspection efforts in an attempt to forestall war. Powell’s skepticism about more inspec tors was echoed at the Pentagon, where Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, “I can’t quite imagine” what the purpose would be. “If you need to have inspectors to see whether or not Iraq is cooperating, one 01 two will do that,” he said. “If you thinl you need inspectors to try to cover a cob- try the size of France, then you need tilt sands and thousands of them.” CIA Director George Tenet also dis missed talk that inspections could disarm Iraq. “This is a country that essentially built a weapons Of mass destruction capa bility while inspections were ongoing,"he told a Senate committee.
