Hayden sworn into new office
Calling it a dream come true, former Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden took the oath of office yesterday for a top Interior Department post overseeing national parks and wildlife issues.
"The truth is, for a farm boy from Kansas with two degrees in wildlife and 18 years in politics, it's a dream come true." Havden said.
More than 60 people witnessed his swearing in, most of them Interior Department staff members.
In his new position, Hayden will serve as assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks. He oversees the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is one of the staff members in the department. He reports to a deputy secretary and ultimately to Interior Secretary Manuel Lucian.

Martial law, which has been in effect since U.S. led armed forces forced Iraqi troops from Kuwait on Feb. 26, was due to expire today after a month-long extension.
"It was extended for a month, it won't be extended again," said Justice Minister Ghazi Ebeli.

An Islamic fundamentalist group released a picture yesterday of one of the two U.S. hostages it holds and reiterated a demand that Israel free prisoners before the Westerners can be released.
"We basically refuse any hostage release except on the basis of releasing 400 prisoners. Otherwise let this issue remain hanging on the blackboard of destiny," said a statement from the Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine.
The pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim faction delivered the statement to the independent Beirut newspaper An-Nahar with a color photograph of Alain Seann, held now for nearly 4% vents.

Bush supports Sununu despite travel questions
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff John Sununu will not have to hunt for a new job because of the controversy surrounding his use of military planes, corporate jets and chauffeur-driven limousines, President Bush's press secretary said.
But even though Sununu's job may be secure, presidential press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said there was nothing to prevent Sununu from traveling commercially from time to time.
"As far as the White House is concerned, he can go by any means he works." Elisabeth rose.

governor would keep his $120,000 job as long
as he wanted after Bush voiced his support for
Summa for a second straight day.
"The president obviously wishes it hadn't happened, wishes she hadn't gone through this, but believes that corrective steps have been taken and is working with the government's business." Flyfat wrote.
Sumu, displaying none of the contrition he had exhibited in a written statement Saturday, told reporters Monday that he intended to stay on the job for at least another year and a half.
"I intend to get the president's agenda done and help him re-elected and finish up after his
second term begins," Sununu told reporters after a speech in nearby Arlington, Va.
The White House put new travel restrictions on Sununu over the weekend after he allegedly misinformed White House counsel Boyden Gray on the circumstances surrounding the solicitation of a corporate jet to take him to Chicago on June 11 for a political appearance.
The travel restrictions followed revelations that Sununu also had used a government limousine to attend a stamp auction in New York and then sent the car back to Washington with just the driver.
Sumuma earlier had been deprived of the use of military aircraft at will for defensive and political purposes.
Bush offered new support for Sununu on Monday, but he did not mount much of a defense.
"Yeah, I'm going to support him," the president said.
Fitzwater, at his daily news briefing, said that no one in the White House was probing Summa from being there.
Monday, Fitzwater referred to a Reagan administration memorandum that stated that the national security adviser and the chief of staff should never be out of touch with the president, but he said Sununu was responsible for determining his own mode of travel in that area.
Saddam promises autonomy if Kurds cut ties with West
The Associated Press
SHAQLAWA, Iraq — In exchange for Kurdish autonomy, Saddam Hussein has demanded a promise from the long-repressed ethnic group that it cut direct ties with the West and help him fight the Shiites, Kurdish leaders said.
The previously secret demands represent a key obstacle to an accord on Kurdish autonomy, the leaders said. The disclosure cast doubt on the prospects for an early agreement.
On Sunday, Masoud Barzani, the leader of the biggest Kurdish group, said an accord was imminent.
Mahmoud Osman, general secretary of the Kurdistan Socialist Party, said Monday that representatives of Saddam's government set out the plan to submit a petition submitted to Kurdish negotiators in early June.
Kurdish negotiators said Saddam made three key demands.
First, the Kurdistan Front would be obliged to support the 1968 revolution that swept the Baath Party.
Second, the front would need the permission of the Bailiark Party to contact outside governments and agencies.
"Saddam want to isolate the Kurds from their friends and all their points of strength." Osman said.
Finally, the front would be obliged to work with the Baath Party against any of its enemies and to co-ordinate the defence.
Pro-Iran Shite parties and pro-Syrian groups were mentioned specifically, said Sami Abd Al-Rahman, a top negotiation for the front and chief of the Popular Democracy Party of Kurdistan.
When there are uprisings, demonstrations.
confusion against the Baath, we would be obliged to take our guns and kill." said the Kurdish leader.
In the document, government officials urged Kurdish forces to help suppress uprisings and demonstrations against the ruling Baath Party, Osman said.
Negotiator al-Rahman said Iraqi officials especially wanted the Kurds to help suppress the country's majority Shite Muslims, who live in Iraq's heavily populated south.
Iraq's army is thought to be carrying out mopping up operations in the country's south and north.
The Shites make up 55 percent of Iraq's population. Saddam and his ruling circle are members of Islam's mainstream Sunni seet.
Negotiations on a Kurdish autonomy zone in Iraq have been going on in Baghdad since April, when Saddam hated his crackdown on the 'Kurds' and allied military troops entered northern Iraq.
Although many Kurdish leaders said they remained optimistic that an agreement could be reached with Baghdad, they played down the enthusiasm of their adversaries, who heads the Democratic Party of Kurdistan.
Barzani said Baghdad had agreed to elections in the northern Kurdish region within three months.
