Atlantis ready for liftoff; weather could cause delay
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Technicians used glue for a quick fix on Atlantis' nose yesterday and prepared to load the space shuttle with fuel for launch today on a top-secret military mission. An approaching storm loomed as the only obstacle to liftoff.

After deciding the glue would hold, NASA rolled back the service tower which has surrounded the shuttle, clearing the way for filling the huge external fuel tank with a half-million liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
The glue was a last-minute substitute for two bolts on an access panel that could not be tightened. Replacing them would have meant a delay.
"The bond is OK and we are proceeding on a decision for tanking," said Barbary Selby, a NASA headquarters spokeswoman.
The start of fueling, another of many milestones leading to a launching, awaited a late-evening weather assessment by shuttle managers. In the process, it was concluded has proceeded with the tanking while hoping for a break in the weather.
Weathermen, meanwhile, continued to predict that there was an 80 percent chance the weather would not permit Atlantis to be launched for low clouds, winds to 23 mph and a 40 percent likelihood of rain.
Pentagon's right to seize film rejected by press
The shuttle reportedly is carrying a $500 million spy satellite called
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
The Associated Press and the New York Times yesterday rejected a Defense Department demand that military officials be granted the right to confiscate film from remote cameras. The film would be released without an incident during the launching of the space shuttle Atlantis, which is on a secret military mission.
As a result, they were denied permission to install remote cameras in an area near the camera close-up pictures of the liftoff.
Some other news organizations accepted the Pentagon requirement and allowed their cameras in sites near the launch pad.
Atlantis' five-man crew reportedly is to deploy a top-secret spy satellite, and the Defense Department and NASA have placed a secrecy veil over most details about the mission.
The AP had planned to set up eight remote cameras in a security area ranging from about 1,500 feet to 2,500 feet from the launch pad. They are activated by the sound of the shuttle lifting off.
Under normal circumstances, news organizations are able to retrieve their film about $ 3 \% $ hours after launch. The photos capture only the first few seconds of the flight.
News groups never had a problem with their remote cameras until the Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff.

FDIC suggests closing S&Ls
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A top federal bank regulator yesterday said $30 billion should be spent next year to close the nation's worst 100 savings institutions quickly, and that it could be done without inflating the federal budget deficit.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman L. William Seidman, emphasizing that the shakiest institutions have been the ones that save insolvent savings and loan associations now are 'reporting losses of over a billion dollars per month.'
"We need to close the worst first," Seidman said in a luncheon speech to the National Press Club. "Once these 100 or so worst institutions are liquidated, the other problem institutions can be dealt with over a somewhat longer period," he said, outlining the conclusions of an FDIC study that will be published within two weeks.
About 500 of the nation's 3,000 federally insured S&Ls are insolvent.
Seidman said that the S&L cleanup eventually would
cost $50 to $100 billion and that the FDIC's estimate leaned toward the higher end of that range.
Until now the SRL industry has been paying for its own rescue through an assessment levied by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. But the FSLIC technically is insolvent and regulators have been putting together rescue packages with guarantees and promissory notes committing revenue they expect to receive during the next 36 years.
Seidman's agency insures deposits in commercial banks, not theft institutions, but he has entered the debate, in part, because some members of Congress are recommending tapping the $18 billion FDIC fund.
Seidman said he was not necessarily opposed to allowing an institution to remain open if it was economically viable, but that the losses should be cleaned up immediately and not allowed to continue. 6
