The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 16, 1990 - Page 5 U.S. and South Korea agree on troop withdrawl .,._..- SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and South Korean of- ficials agreed Yesterday to the withdrawal of several thousand U.S. troops over the next three years as Korea "takes the lead" in its own defense. Cheney, on the first leg of an Asian-Pa- cific tour also taking him to the Philippines and Japan, said the troop reductions would not be done "precipitously" and pledged to keep U.S. soldiers based here as long as the Korean people want them. "We aren't going to move precipi- tously... our commitment remains strong," Cheney said at a news conference. " The threat remains undiminished." U.S. officials said Cheney told the South Koreans he wants to cut U.S. forces in Asia and the Pacific by 10 to 12 percent, with 5,000 of the troops pulled out of South Ko- rea and 7,000 to 9,400 leaving the Philip- pines and Japan. There are 120,000 troops based in the three countries, including 43,000 in South Korea. Cheney and his South Korean counterpart Lee Sang Hoon also pledged to move toward handing over the command of the joint U.S.- Korean military structure - now held by a U.S. four-star general - to a Ko- rean general, the two officials announced.- The developments mark a major change in the two allies' relationship and may result in the most dramatic contraction of the U.S. here since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. The Republic of Korea "can now do more to provide for its own security," Cheney told reporters. The defense secretary said such steps were made possible by South Korea's "spectacular record" of economic growth. He said it also was due in part to congressional pressure to slash U.S. defense expenditures, particularly overseas at a time of lessened superpower tensions. Lee said his government would also give "positive consideration" to increasing its support for the U.S. troops stationed here under a 1954 mutual defense pact. A U.S. official, who spoke on condition he not be identified by name, said Cheney wants Seoul to double its $300 million an- nual contribution to the support of the U.S. troops., The South Koreans at first "reacted with horror" at the suggested troop pullout., be- cause they believed it would be the first step in a total withdrawal and would mean "the American security blanket is gone, " he said. But the official said that after a series of discussions he believed the Korean officials would accept the proposals. D. C. Mayor indict WASHINGTON (AP) - Mayor Marion Barry was indicted Thursday on three charges of perjury and five counts of cocaine possession, ac- cused of smoking crack cocaine and lying repeatedly to a federal grand jury questioning him about drug use. His attorney said he would plead innocent to all charges. Barry was undergoing treatment at a Florida substance abuse clinic when the grand jury returned the in- SUMMIT Continued from page 1 heavily fortified naval base. The helicopters rode fast and hugged the terrain in what was de- scribed as an evasionary tactic against any attack. The presidential chopper landed fast. It blew hats and helmets off security guards spaced around the parade grounds as a U.S. counter - assault team looked on - its members wearing casual slacks, polo shirts and huge backpacks. The U.S. security forces took great measures to guard Bush in light of a December report that Colombian drug lords had taken a $30 million contract on the presi- dent's life and reports that surface-to- air missiles had been acquired to shoot down his plane. dictment to a federal magistrate. He enrolled in the clinic after his arrest last month in what authorities say was a videotaped hotel drug sting. Only one of the charges stems from that encounter between Barry and Rasheeda Moore, an old friend brought in by the FBI. The other charges result from his association with Charles Lewis, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges. The 14-month investigation has d on eigh focused on Barry's ties to Lewis. Barry has told top political aides he would abandon his hopes for a fourth term, but sources close to the mayor have said he would refrain from making any quick public statement about his political future any time soon. The mayor, who is being treated for what an aide has described as primarily an alcohol problem, has turned the day-to-day operations of t charges the District of Columbia government over to a top deputy. In the face of rumors that have dogged him the past several years, Barry steadfastly denied ever using drugs. If convicted of a felony, the 53- year-old mayor would be required te resign, with city council chairman David Clarke becoming acting mayor. oto Withdrawn Perrier bottles A worker at a Parisian supermarket removes cases of Perrier mineral .Water bottles yesterday.

"It will be a complete sister city report which will integrate all of the individual sister city reports," said Kurt Bergren, one of the members of the Ann Arbor delegation. Bergren will spend a week in Gainesville, Florida, after his return to the United States to help author the combined statement. The report written in Florida will be released nationwide - to mem- bers of the U.S. Congress and to the major news media, Bergren said. Ann Arbor established Juigalpa as its sister city in 1986, after voters passed the "Peace in Central Amer- ica" ballot proposal. Tomorrow's trip marks the sixth official time the delegation has gone to Nicaragua. Gregory Fox, a mem- ber of the Ann Arbor-Juigalpa Sister City Committee, said the group members do not receive any city funding. "We believe the 1990 election will be a fair election," said Fox.
