THE NEWS in brief
Pentagon makes plans to send South Koreans Patriot defense missiles
WASHINGTON
The Pentagon is planning to send Patriot air defense missiles to South Korea as "sensible, rational defense preparations" for a potential North Korean Scud rocket assault, a senior official said yesterday.
The move seemed likely to raise the level of tension on the Korean peninsula, where a North Korean army of a million people stands just across the border from a South Korean force bolstered by 36,000 U.S. Army and Air Force troops.
Tensions have been inflamed in recent months by a standoff between Washington and Pyongyang about international inspections of the communist nation's nuclear program, which the United States says is covertly pursuing nuclear bombs. North Korea denies that its nuclear facilities have any military purpose.
Frank Wisner, the undersecretary of defense for policy, said the Patriot deployment would go ahead although no final decision had been made and details such as timing had not been set.
White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said, "The only thing we can say is it's moving in that direction, but the operational decisions have not been made."
At the North Korean mission to the United Nations in New York, an aide said Ambassador Ho Jong was not available to comment on the Patriot plan
MIA search yields improved ties
HANOI, Vietnam
The United States' biggest search to try to account for American troops missing in the Vietnam War ended yesterday after drawing praise from U.S. officials for Vietnamese cooperation.
A U.S. official declined to say how many remains were found during the three-week search pending a joint U.S.-Vietnamese forensics review.
A similar operation is planned to begin in late February and to run for four weeks.
U. S. officials visited during the operation to try to gauge the extent of Vietnam's cooperation. Two participants, Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, and Adm. Charles Larson, commander of U.S. military forces in the Pacific, said the Vietnamese were not holding anything back.
President Clinton has made resumption of economic and diplomatic ties with Vietnam contingent on Hanoi's cooperation in trying to account for 2,238 American MIAs in Indochina, including 1,647 missing in Vietnam.
Relatives of MIAs and veterans organizations who
oppose lifting the trade embargo accuse the Vietnamese of withholding information.
Kerry said in Washington on Tuesday that he planned to meet with the president later this week and recommend ending the embargo. Larson's favorable assessment also will weigh in Clinton's decision.
The United States backed South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and cut off diplomatic and economic ties in 1975 when the South fell to communist North Vietnam.

BRUSSELS, Belgium Romania enters NATO partnership
Romanian Foreign Minister Teodor Melescanu signed the document during a meeting with ambassadors of the 16 nations in the alliance.
NATO enrolled Romania yesterday as the first nation in its new program offering cooperation to former Warsaw Pact foes while denying them full membership in the military alliance.
In doing so, his nation became the first to accept the partnership offered earlier this month by President Clinton and other NATO leaders.
"I hope it is a good omen for the future of our relationship. "Melescau said.
The program, proposed by the United States, will allow East European nations to join NATO in military exercises, peacekeeping operations and other activities. But it does not grant them the membership and security guarantees they are seeking
President Algirdas Brazauskas of Lithuania planned to sign up today, followed by Poland and possibly Estonia next week.
The program is part of NATO's efforts to redefine its role in the post-Cold War era. NATO was formed in 1949 as a deterrent to Soviet expansion.

NASA displays space-trip leftovers
"Micrometeorites," says John Wood, a NASA expert.
The curved faceplate of the huge camera removed from the Hubble Space Telescope in December looks as if a kid with a BB gun and bad aim had a go at it.
*Micronectones*, says John Wood, a NASA expert. The pockmarks on the wide-field planetary camera are about the only visible sign of wear and tear on parts exposed for more than three years to the harsh environment of space, where dusk and dawn alternate every 45 minutes while temperatures swing by 300 degrees.
The pockmars look like paint chips no more than 1/8 inch in diameter. Most likely they were caused by dust the size of a grain of sand or perhaps debris from earlier launches trapped in orbit.
In its vast clean room at the Goddard Space Flight Center on Tuesday, NASA showed off the 15,000 pounds of parts returned from space
