House attempts to lift
ban on Turkish trade

rejeeted by
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter and his aides reportedly rejec-
ted House leaders' compromise efforts
as the House began debate on repealing
Congress' ban against U.S. military aid
for Turkey.
Carter himself rejected the com-
promise Friday and State Department
aides rejected another version yester-
day morning, leadership sources said.
THE SENATE has approved Carter's
request for Congress to repeal its 3-
year-old embargo but both sides say the
House vote is so close it could go either
way.
The House leadership proposals were
basically to allow Carter to lift the em-
bargo himself when Turkish Cypriots
allow Greek Cypriots to return freely to
the city of Famagusta as the Turks
have proposed.
Carter himself reportedly rejected a
proposal by House Democratic Leader
Jim Wright and Democratic Whip John
Brademas to lift Congress' embargo for
one year when Carter can certify the
Turks are allowing Greeks back into
Famagusta.
THE PRESIDENT contended that he
would be imposing conditions much like

Carter
the Cyprus peace conditions attached to
the present embargo, which the Turks
refused to accede to.
When Wright tried to modify his and
Brademas' proposal to weaken the con-
dition on Congress' appeal of the arms
embargo, both Brademas and the State
Department rejected it, the sources
said.
Wright acknowledged that his latest
effort was rejected by both sides but
refused to give details.
"I'M SORT OF a 'marrin' Sam'
trying to perform a shotgun wedding
between the two parties, neither of
whom wants to marry," the
Democratic leader said.
But WQright said he would keep on
trying and was seen during the after-
noon leaving the House floor, clearly
for meetings in further efforts to work
out a compromise.
The House began debating the
proposed repeal of the Turkish aid em-
bargo and other issues in a $1 billion
U.S. military aid authorization bill.
All votes are scheduled for tomorrow.
Congress imposed the ban Feb. 15,
1975, against U.S. military aid or even
commercial American arms sales for
Turkey

U.S. restricts sale of
oil equipment to.Russia

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Com-
merce Department unaer orders from
President Carter yesterday restricted
the sale of oil and gas exploration
equipment to the Soviet Union.
White House Press Secretary Jody
Powell had refused to tie the action
directly to Soviet trials of Russian
dissidents but called the restriction a
necessary foreign policy tool.
IN MOSCOW, Soviet deputy foreign
Minister Anatoly Kovalev said the use
of trade "as an instrument of political
pressure" could interfere with U.S.-
Soviet relations.
But Kovalev at a news conference
played down the impact U.S. trade
restrictions might have on the Soviet
economy.
"I would like to emphasize that the
Soviet Union has no special advantages
from Soviet-American trade. Trade, as
is known, is a mutually advantageous
undertaking. In case of need, we can
find other partners who are reliable

enough," Kovalev said.
IT IS important, however, to ap-
proach the development of relations
between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. as
a whole from a broader political per-
spective, taking into consideration the
weight that both countries have on the
world arena ...
"The Soviet Union, as is known is in
favor of precisely such a long-term and
considerate approach to the conduct of
Soviet-American relations."
Kovalev characterized a recent
Washington conference of NATO coun-
tries that approved a program to
escalate Western military might as a
probably violation of the Helsinki ac-
cords and also noted U.S. plans regar-
ding the neutron bomb.
"These are not the indications of
peacefulness by far but quite specific
proofs showing where the real, not
mythical, military menace is coming
from," the deputy foreign minister
said.
