Israelis push to Beirut
FromAPandUPI
Israel's triumphant invasion army,
at the doorstep of Beirut, hammered
Palestinian and Syrian positions relen-
tlessly yesterday from the air, sea and
land, and threatened to storm the
panic-torn Lebanese capital.
The Palestinian guerrillas promised
a fight to the death.
"We shall fight from house to house,
from room to room" the Palestine
Liberation Organization radio vowed as
Israeli jets struck at PLO targets.
THE GUERRILLAS reportedly held
off Israeli armored forces four miles
south of the city limits. To the

Senate
restricts
release
of agents'
identities

The Senate yesterday over-
whelmingly passed and sent to
President Reagan a bill making it a
crime punishable by imprisonment to
disclose the names of covert U.S. in-
telligence agents-even if that infor-
mation is derived from public records.
Michigan Senators Don Riegle and
Carl Levin, both Democrats, joined 79
other senators in passing the In-
telligence Identity Protection Act, a bill
which some critics have said could
seriously erode Americans' First
Amendment freedoms.
THE ACT cleared tbe House last
week by a vote of 315-32. Four senators
voted against the final version of the
bill yesterday.
The bill provides prison terms'of up to
10 years and fines of $50,000 for gover-
nment employees who expose U.S.
spies living undercover in foreign
nations.
People outside the government, in-
cluding journalists or scholars who
identify agents as part of a "pattern of
activities" which would "impair or im-
pede" U.S. intelligence operations,
could be imprisoned for up to four years
and fined $15,000.
BURT HOFFMAN, a spokesman for
Levin, said the senator voted for the bill
because he was concerned that the
disclosure of agents' names could en-
danger their lives. Supporters of the bill
have said that publication of many
agents' names has led to their
assassinations in recent years.
Hoffman said the effect of the bill on

What the Israelis did not say was
whether they would first push into
Beirut.
The PLO, in a claim that could not be
verified, said more than 10,000 civilians
had been killed or, wounded in the in-
vasion, which began after the shooting
of an Israeli ambassador in London.
