Air travel adjusts to new dangers
United Press International
WASHINGTON - The head of the Federal Aviation Administration warned yesterday that terrorists could strike domestic targets but assured airline travelers that the United States was taking aggressive action to protect them.
At the same time, Pan American World Airways announced it would seek permission to impose a $5 surcharge on every ticket sold for its trans-Atlantic flights. The airline said money to help defy the cost of extra security measures taken to protect travelers against terrorism.
FAA Administrator Donald Engen said the government had directed airlines and airports to take extra security measures against possible terror attacks threatened by Libyan leader Moammar Khadjah after U.S. air forces bombed two key cities in the North African nation.
cities in the United States. "This international threat could clearly become a national threat," Engen said at the National Press Club.
Martin Shugue, Pan Am's vice chairman and chief operating officer, told the International Avi-a

"We have proposed that a modest one-way security surcharge of $5 be added to all trans-Atlantic passengers carried by Pan Am to defray some of the cost that must be incurred," Shugrue said.

said.
"Customers will, of course, grouse about the whole procedure and the delays that result from them. We said. "But they will understandly put with the need for such action. We believe the traveling public will not be intimidated from traveling on airlines who adopt strong security measures. We are going to do our damnedest to minimize the risk."
The surcharge must be approved by the Transportation Department before it can be put into effect.
to effect.
The government is spending millions of dollars on weapons detection and other anti-terrorist devices and is on the brink of making major breakthroughs in several areas, Engen said. He did not provide details.
Terrorism ... is not exclusively an aviation
"The nature of aviation safety is such that many things need to be left unsaid," he said. "However, I can say we are moving ahead aggressively on a number of fronts."
problem, although terrorists have targeted aircraft and airports lately," he said.
"I don't think we should let terrorists dictate whether we should travel or not," he said.
The government is increasing the number of security personnel, including federal air marshals, who are placed on some key flights. Engen said. They are expected to take action to protect air travelers, he said.
Current airline and airport security is adequate and Americans should not sway away from international travel.
At the same time, there will be more emphasis at airports on examining carry-on luggage in addition to subiecting it to X-ray screening. Engen said.
in a related development, in a hearing on terrorism and tourism, the president of the Air Line Pilots Association yesterday told members of three house committees that security at foreign airports had improved in recent months but it needed upgrading at some domestic airports.
Reagan ready for increase in terrorism
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan was prepared for an increase in terrorism when he ordered U.S. warplanes to bomb Libya, his spokesman said yesterday, but he expects the attacks and threats will diminish in the long run.
Amid a flurry of attacks, brutality and psychological warfare, White House spokesman Larry Speakes declined to say the new round of terror was tied directly to Monday's attack.
During a brief encounter with reporters yesterday, the president commented on the discovery of the bodies of three Britons in the hills near Beirut. A note with the bodies said the men had been killed
because of the U.S. attack on Libya.
Asked whether the United States is more concerned now for the safety of six American hostages in Lebanon, Speakes said, "We're always very concerned."

"I think it's a tragedy," Reagan said, "but I think terrorism is something we all have to deal with."

in it, said she was surprised. At his news conference last week, Reagan said he was concerned for the hostages but their fate would not swing the balance is his decision on
whether to launch a military strike against Khadafy.
Speakes rejected suggestions that the U.S. bombing raids had made Americans more vulnerable to violence and said, "We were prepared for an increase in terrorism. In the long run we expect it to diminish."
One prominent dissenter who questioned Reagan's action was Jimmy Carter, who said "mine is one of the lonely voices."
"I don't think it was the right thing to do," the former president told the Atlanta Constitution. "I think in the long run it will be a mistake."
Soviets not scared by strike on Libva
United Press International
MOSCOW — The Soviet Union sent a message to Washington that the Kremlin would not be intimidated by the U.S. raid on Libya and reaffirmed its right yesterday to send its naval and air forces into the Mediterranean.
Ambassadors from all foreign embassies were called to the Foreign Ministry Wednesday and told "the Soviet Union has the full right to use Mediterranean waters for the movement of military ships," spokesman Vladimir Lomeki said.
"We mean the waters as well as the air space over these waters," Lomelić said at a news conference. "The Soviet Union assumes that the U.S. side will counter this account in future actions."
"The they could want to put on record that they would not be intimidated by U.S. actions," he added. "On the other hand, I think it is important, possibly the Soviets are thinking of putting their feet between the Libyan and
Western diplomats called the Soviet message a reiteration of their rights under international law, believing it as a threat to Washington.

In response to the U.S. bombing of Osama bin Laden Tuesday, the Soviets cancelled a scheduled meeting of Secretary of State George Shultz and Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze at which plans for a second summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev have to be discussed.
Gorbachev also sent a message to Libyan leader Moammar Khadifa pledging future military commitments to Libya.
But Western diplomats thought the Kremlin would not involve itself in a military conflict over Libya.
At the news conference,
Lomeiko again denied U.S. allegations that terror bombing of a Berlin disco April 5 that killed a Turkish woman and sparked the U.S. retaliation raid.
Lomelko said the Soviet Union had no prior knowledge of the bombing.
"We did not have any information about this terrorist act, but if we had this information we would have used it with the American side," he said.
Lomeiko also denied knowledge of terrorist training camps in Libya, saying the Soviet Union was a stainless opponent of terrorism.
