Discovery, Mir rendezvous in space
CAPE CANAVERAL,Fla. -Two
100-ton spaceships - the biggest ever A
to converge in space-flew in forma-
tion just 37 feet apart yesterday in the
first U.S.-Russian rendezvous in 20
years.
It almost didn't happen. Russian
space officials gave in at the last minute,
allowing Discovery and its crew of six
to creep close despite fears that a leak-
ing jet would damage equipment on
Mir. Mir and Discovery
"We are bringing our spaceships closer together. We are bringing our nations
closer together," Discovery's commander, James Wetherbee, said at the moment
of closest approach in the mission, a dress rehearsal for the first shuttle-Mir
docking in June. The moment, he said, was "almost like a fairy tale ... almost too
good to be true."

House approves line-
item veto, 294-134
WASHINGTON - The House
last night approved Republican legis-
lation that greatly expands a
President's powers to cut congres-
sional spending.
The overwhelming vote of 294 to
134 allows a President to challenge
specific projects without vetoing an
entire spending bill.
President Clinton campaigned for
such authority in 1992 but abandoned
his effort early in his administration
in the face of opposition from his own
party. Republicans made it part of
their "Contract With America" dur-
ing last fall's congressional campaign.
The House timed its approval of
the line-item veto to coincide with the
84th birthday of President Reagan,
who supported similar powers when
he was in the White House. The Re-
publican-controlled Congress has
promised to give a Democrat what a
Democratic-controlled Congress
would not give Reagan.

Palestinians ambush
Israeli gas tanker
JERUSALEM - Palestinian
gunmen ambushed a convoy of Is-
raeli gasoline tankers in the Gaza
Strip yesterday, killing one Israeli
security guard and wounding a sec-
ond, in a direct challenge to both
Israel and the Palestine Liberation
Organization, which administers the
region.
The guerrillas overtook the pri-
vate Israeli security vehicle as it
escorted two gasoline tankers into
the Gaza Strip, firing automatic
rifles at it, according to Israeli mili-
tary sources. Palestinian police, who
also were protecting the trucks, fired
back, but the gunmen escaped into a
citrus grove.
The midmorning attack at the Nahal
Oz crossing from Israel into the Gaza
Strip underscored PLO Chairman
Yasser Arafat's loss of control in the
region, and it appeared certain to fur-
ther strain his relations with Israel,
which wants him to crack down on
Islamic militants.
Arafat is under intense pressure to
curb attacks against Israelis before
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin will
agree to expand self-government to the

"We wanted to pass this on
(Reagan's) birthday, notonly for him,
but for the American people," Rules"
Chairman Gerald B.H. Solomon (R-
N.Y.) said.
Muslim extremist
makes surprise plea*
NEW YORK - The Muslim ex-
tremist who allegedly was the master-
mind of what was to have been a "day
of terror" in Manhattan in July1993
yesterday made a surprise guilty plea
to a plot that included bombings of
major New York landmarks and the
assassination of Egyptian President
Hosni Mubarak.
Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali also
said he would testify against the 11
other defendants in the massive con-
spiracy trial, including Sheik Omar
Abdel Rahman, the cleric who was
once his spiritual leader.
Prosecutors named Siddig Ali as
the ringleader of a planned one-day
bombing spree in Manhattan that tar-
geted the United Nations, FBI offices
and the George Washington Bridge.
West Bank and pull back Israeli forces
there, as required under the 1993 ac-
cord. The two leaders plan to meet
Thursday in Gaza to continue their
negotiations.
U.S. sees new start
for China trade talks
BEIJING -Following the week-
end announcements by the United
States and China of tit-for-tat trade
sanctions on each other's products, the
two sides edged back to the bargaining
table yesterday with the announcement
thatthey would resume talks nextweek.
American business leaders here re-0
mained cautiously optimistic that an
all-out trade war between the two Pa-
cific trading partners could be averted.
U.S. Trade Representative Mickey
Kantor said Washington would send
negotiators here next Monday in re-
sponse to a letter from Beijing indicat,.
ing China's willingness toresume talks
before the Feb. 26 deadline for the
respective tariffs to take effect.
Most business leaders and diplo-
mats here remained convinced that
some agreement would be reached be-
fore Feb. 26, when the Clinton admin-
istration has said it will impose puni-
tive tariffs.
