PRESIENT'S FIRST VETO:

Carter kills breeder ri

WAS#INGTON (AP) - President
arter used his first veto yesterday, re-
cting a bill that would have author-
ed $80 million for a breeder reactor
at would produce weapons-grade nu-
ear material.
Carter said the reactor project, loca-
on the Clinch River in Tennessee,
d imperil his effort to stop the
read of nuclear weapons and tech-
logy.
THE PRESIDENT indicated he
uld consider impounding funds for
e project if his veto is overridden "to
ure that no further unnecessary ex-
nditures on this facility are made."
Carter said the government-industry
enture at Oak Ridge, Tenn., designed
demonstrate the feasibility of
reeder reactors, would be "technicil-
obsolete and economically unsound."

The bill cleared Congress on Oct. 20,
winning 366-52 approval in the House
and passage by voice vote in the Senate.
It would take 67 votes in the Senate to
overturn the veto and 290 in the House.
"THERE ARE NOW on the drawing
boards better technologies," said
Stuart Eizenstat, Carter's assistant for
domestic affairs and policy.
Eizenstat said Carter was confident
the House and Senate would sustain the
veto.
The measure authorized funding for
fiscal 1978, which began Oct. 1, for the
Energy Department's nuclear and non-
nuclear energy research, development
and demonstration projects. New legis-
lation for projects other than the Clinch
River project, would have to be passed
if the veto is sustained.
BREEDER REACTORS produce

more nuclear fuel, plutonium, than they
consume. The fuel can be converted for
use in atomic bombs and Carter has
stated that his efforts to end the project
were part of his program to halt the
spread of weapons-grade nuclear mate-
rial.
The federal government's share of
the project had increased from $250
million, when it was first authorized in
1970, to $2 billion.
"That is $2, billion we feel will ke
spent on technology that, by the time
the project is built, may not be the best
technology," Eizenstat said.
CARTER SAID in lhis veto message
that his administration is committed to
"a strong research and development
program for advanced nuclear
technologies" but that the Clinch River
project was not needed.
The bill, Carter said, was "inconsis-

WASHINGTON (AP) -The United
States is offering to dismiss the
federal indictment against Tongsun
Park in exchange for the names of
members of Congress who received
money from him in the Korean influ-
ence-buying scandal.
In a report sent to Congress, the ad-
ministration confirmed yesterday
that the Justice Department would
seek dismissal of Park's 36-count
indictment in return for his help in
the Korean probe.
PRESIDENT CARTER said in the
report that last Monday the South
Korean government sent to the
United States "an important new
proposal" on the interrogation of
Park.
"Our two governments are in the
midst of active and delicate discus-
sions," he said, stating that it was
"inappropriate and premature" to
give any details of the talks.
,Seoul's failure to persuade Tong-
sun Park to testify in the probe of
South Korean influence-buying so far
"was not the response expected of a
close ally," the report said.

\President Carter's signature.
The report contained a chronology
of the administration's attempts to
secure South Korea's cooperation in
establishing Park's alleged efforts to
give favors to members of Congress
in exchange for their support for the
Seoul regime.
The report said that in 30 hours of
talks in South Korea last month,
Assistant IJ.S. Attorney General
Benjamin Civiletti proposed drop-
ping the charges against Park, a
South Korean businessman indicted

for

Sept. 6 on 36 corruption charges, if he
would cooperate.
IT SAID THE United States sug-
gested that Park be interrogated "in
a third country under conditions
which would provide verification of
the truthfulness of his testimony."
"If sufficient evidence 'were there-
