But Western sources say that as many as 100,000 Vietnamese were involved in the invasion, which began Dec. 25, and that the Cambrian rebels did little, it was estimated.

The convention will be in Detroit's Cabo Hall and will begin July 14, 1980. Dallas fell slightly short of the GOP requirements for seating in the Dallas Convention Center, but the fact that the convention center is booked until August 1980 was the primary problem, the seating said.

Vote stops dam to save fish
WASHINGTON - A Cabinet-level committee yesterday barred me the Tennessee Valley Authority from completing the $119 million Tellico Dam in Tennessee, ruling that possible benefits from the project did not justify killing the snail darter, a three-inch fish.
At the same time, the Endangered Species Committee voted to permit completion of the $23 million Grayrocks Dam and Reservoir in Wyoming, provided that protective measures are taken to insure the project does not imperil whooping cranes.
Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee criticized the committee's action on Tellico and said he would try to exempt the dam from the flood control plan.
The Endangered Species Committee was created last year after the Supreme Court ruled that closing the tails on Tellio could doom the snail darter.
The committee decided to stop work on the dam even though it is 95 percent complete.

Talmadge, 65, a 22-year veteran of the Senate, entered the hospital on the advice of his physician, news secretary Gordon Roberts said.

He said those proposals would be the basis for the new foundation that was both the first and largest in the country.
"The new foundation I have discussed tonight can help us build a nation and a world where every child is nurtured and can learn. We need resources now washed on war can be turned toward human needs—where all people have enough to eat, a decent home and a place of work."
"TONIGHT, I ask you to join me in building the new foundation—a better future."

The military parade was designed to warn Iran's allied squabbling to the war that Iran is building, ported the shah more than any other leader.
