State Dept. closes case on Dole
WASHINGTON (AP)—The State Department denied yesterday that it was seeking any action against Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan, for releasing a confidential cable that raised apparent contradictions in U.S. and international regulations of Panama Canal treaty provisions.
"I would like to make it clear that the department has not urged and does not plan to urge any action against Sen. Dole," department spokesman Kenna Brown
The cable was from Ray Gonzalez of the U.S. embassy in Panama to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. It quoted Panamanian negotiator Carlos Lopez Guevara as saying U.S. leaders should refrain from saying that the canal treaty gives the United States permanent rights of intervention if the neutrality of the waterway were threatened.
State Department officials, however, have reaffirmed their view that the treaty would allow the United States to intervene militarily in such a case.
Brown confirmed that a member of the department's congressional relations staff

Subcommittees in each house overwhelmingly supported the airbag order, but the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee voted 9-7 Thursday to approve a resolution that would styline Adam's decision.

Deadline on airbags rule sparks fight
WASHINGTON(UPI) - A Senate committee yesterday approved a resolution that could eliminate an administration building that could be equipped with airbags starting in 1982.
"This was a request for information, this was not an indication we were urging any action."
but a House committee, called into session to vote on the issue, could not achieve a quorum, and chances dimmed as the deadline approached. The airbag order by the Oct. 14 deadline.
Airbags are designed to inflate during collisions to protect people in cars. The bags are intended to pop out of a car's dashboard upon impact so that passengers hit a soft surface, instead of the dashboard or windshield.
"If that's the game they're going to play, all their aretees are going to be having a tough time," Baker said of the ad-hoc contact with the ethics committee.
The House commerce committee, however is not scheduled to meet again until next week, and by then it will be too late rules to send the issue to the floor on time.
Rep. E.G. Shuster, R-Pa., who opposes airbags, said even if the House commerce committee failed to act, it would still be hard for legislators to vote through parliamentary maneuvering.
Brown said the caller, whom he did not identify, got a response and was satisfied. He would not spell out what the caller was told.
If the Senate adopts a resolution knocking down the airbag order, he said, the measure could bypass the House commerce committee and be sent instead to the Rules Committee, which could then get it to the House floor by Friday.
Shuster, who is not a member of the commerce committee, charged that Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calf, and others were in violation of a back room at a backroom to quarrel with a quorum.

"I don't think we're looking for any change in Sonata rules or any evolution of them," he said.
Brown said, "As far as we're concerned,
Brown has done what he has been fit to do,
and he's been good."
According to the census, about 85 per cent of the people in the county live within one of the county's four cities. The cities had 54,803 residents, the rural areas had 8,104.
