Iraq offers hope for peace
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Baghdad's offers yesterday to stop shooting at allied planes and let U.N. weapons inspectors resume flights brought hope the confrontation could end.
The offers apparently depended on whether the United States, Britain and France halt attacks on Iraq radar sites, MiG fighters, prohibited nuclear weapons production sites and other targets.
The Security Council scheduled private meetings to discuss the Iraqi offers.
The allies have hit Iraq with air strikes and U.S. cruise missiles for a week to force Baghdad to cooperate with the U.N.
weapons inspectors and keep its planes and radar out of "no fly zones"
British Ambassador David Hannay hailed news of Iraq's proposal, saying it should help resolve the conflict.
Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams welcomed the cease-fire offer but
said Iraq must remove weapons that threaten allied aircraft over the no-fly zones. Iraq also must stop hindering U.N. weapon inspections under Persian Gulf War ceasefire provisions, he said.
Rolf Keele, chairman of the U.N. Special Commission in charge of eliminating Iraq's weapons of mass destruction under terms of the Gulf War cease-fire, planned to brief the Security Council on the situation.

In Baghdad, Iraq's ruling Revolutionary Command Council, headed by President Saddam Hussein, said there would be no more attacks on U.S.
Iraq' iU. ambassador, Nizam Hadoon, said Baghdad also agreed to let the Special Commission resume flights into Iraq in U.N. planes.
Ira banned the flights on Jan. 8, then offered conditional resumption of the flights. The United Nations rejected the offers.
Security Council President Yoshio Hatanoy of Japan and officials from the Special Commission said they had not yet received official notice of either proposal.

Bush staff packs, moves from White House
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is being stuffed into boxes, loaded onto vans and moved into history. For the last to go, there were empty desks and empty feelings.
Everybody is cried a little, "said one staff member at the White House. 'But it's time to leave.'
Boxes were piled on desks or in hallways through official Washington, as more than 3,000 political appointees made way for the Clinton era.
[Some of those departing held parties, more like wakes, to mark the end of their Washington service. Addresses were exchanged, memories recalled and promises of continued friendship made.]
Staffers in the executive mansion were told to pack up and try to leave by last Friday. Katja Bullock, who worked in the White House 11 years for Presidents Reagan and Bush, said she did not remember the house being so quiet.
"We have to leave so they can come in and clean," he said. "I just have a couple of more boxes and then I will."
Earlier, Bullock said, every scrap of paper from the Bush years was archived, boxed and shipped to Texas. One day, scholars at a presidential library in College Station will sort through it all to accord a better view for history.
But for now, White House workers dusted, vacuumed and washed, while Bullock filed memories in a box.
we been very impressed by the orderly way that all occurred," she said. "But I guess that's what makes us different from a banana republic. That's the strength of our system."
"The White House phones are gone." Fitzwater told reporters in his barrion office. "I'm out."
The symbols of duty's end for White House Press Secretary Martin Fitzwater were two bige telephones, one of them cracked. The phones had been connected to special White House lines at Fitzwater's home, but yesterday he brought them to the office.

Endeavour shuttle lands despite fog-caused delay
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Endeavour and its crew of five landed yesterday, completing a mission that featured a spacewalk and other preparatory steps for building the space station Freedom.
Fog prevented Endeavour from landing at sunrise as planned and almost forced a detour to Edwards Air Force Base in California.
Endeavour circled the Earth 96 times and traveled 2,501,277 miles during its voyage, which ended just a few miles from where it began Jan. 13.
