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 eactor bill 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- tent with my strong belief that proceed- See CARTER, Page 8 against 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- by gained of indictable offenses by United States officials, Mr. Park's later appearance would be required in the United States for trial testi- See U.S., Page 7 Re confl retai ers a Togo refletbln of ast and West- By DAN OBERDORFER In old Japan, the women walked three paces behind their men.
