James Sasso, who distributed the tape, but Sasso and another staffer resigned yesterday afternoon.

British Navy finds nothing; two U.S. convoys pass safely
Gulf mine scare alarms ships
The Associated Press
MANAMA, Bahrain — A new mine scare yesterday sent commercial shipping on a circuitous route through the northern Persian Gulf as two U.S.-escorted convos steamed north and south through the waterway.
The latest reported danger zones were near Farsi Island, a stronghold of Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Gulf-based shipping executives said several possible sightings had been reported by ships sailing to and from Kuwait.
British Royal Navy mine sweepers spent a second day search waters off the southern coast where possible and they apparently found nothing, but they apparently found nothing.
The 46,723-ton Gas Prince, one of nine reflagged Kuwaiti tankers sailing under the U.S. flag, steamed south through the gulf on its second outbound voyage since the convoy operation began in mid-July.
Pentagon spokesman Maj. Larry Icenogle said another convoy moving north consisted of two U.S. Military Sealift Command ships carrying supplies, apparently to Bahrain for the U.S. Navy's Middle East Force.
The convoy's appearance created a stir among maritime observers, who speculated that the absence of reflagged Kuwaiti tankers indicated an expansion of the U.S. escort operation.
"This is a routine resupply operation. . . there is nothing new about this," teenogle said. He identified the ships as the 39,000-ton transport oiler Gus Darnell and the motor vessel Patriot.
The United States began to escort 11 U.S. registered Kuwait tankers in July to protect them from attack by Iran, which considers Kuwait an ally of Iraq in the seven-year-old Iran-Iraq war.
said he couldn't confirm that, but noted that it wasn't unusual for foreign-flag ships to tag along on the convoy.
Witnesses said several non-U.S. vessels were in the group. Icelogen
The cargo ships were being escorted by the missile frigates Rentz, Ford and Thach and by the amphibious landing ship Raleigh.
The Raleigh was returning from Oman, where it delivered the bodies of three Iranian seamen killed Sept. 21 in a U.S. attack on an Iranian vessel. Twenty-six iranians captured in the assault also were delivered to Oman for eventual return to Iran.
The convoy passed without incident through the southern gulf, where three British mine sweepers have been searching for explosives since Tuesday. Last weekend, the American missile destroyer Kidd reported three "possible" sightings in the area.

Senate group approves measure to ban smoking on most airliners
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A ban on smoking aboard most U.S. airliners came a step closer to enactment yesterday as a Senate subcommittee approved legislation prohibiting travelers from lighting up on flights of two hours or less.
Frank Lautenberg, chairman of the Senate transportation appropriations subcommittee, shortly before the panel approved the measure.
"We feel this is the opportunity to deal with the problem," said Sen.
other opponents of the restrictions have argued that smokers would be encouraged to smoke in restrooms, where fires can be accidentally sparked, and disconnect the smoke alarms there. However, passengers found disabling planes' bathroom smoke detectors would be subject to fines of up to $2,000, if the legislation is passed.
Luttenberg, D.N.J., said the legislation, a provision of an $11.2 billion appropriations bill, would bring to light more non-smokers who have to end."

Bush talks to leaders in Europe
The Associated Press
First in Bonn, then in Paris, the vice president sat down with foreign officials to discuss the prospective treaty with the Soviet Union to ban intermediate range nuclear weapons.
PARIS — Vice President George Bush met with French and West German leaders yesterday on a European international diplomacy trip.
After meeting with French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, the vice president said he had found "very little to add" and taude when it comes to arms control."
Bush said he assured Chirac that the United States would "never attempt to negotiate away" the threat of an independent nuclear deterrent forces.
Bush's aides said in advance that the trip would include "all necessary hospitalization."
The subject of presidential politics came up when Bush was asked whether Chirac had heard that the vice president was planning to run for president. "He had heard that, I think." Bush said humorously. "But we did not discuss American politics at all, and I found it refreshing."
Chirac said that in his meeting with Bush he had "expressed satisfaction at the progress that has been achieved" in arms control. He said he hoped the United States and Soviet Union could quickly move on to talk about conventional forces and the prohibition of chemical weapons.
