"Bright Star' exercises
to show U.S. commitment

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON — The United States plans to land Marines from amphibious assault ships at Oman and Somalia and drop 82nd Airborne paratroopers over western Egypt next month in the most dramatic demonstration to date of America's ability to aid its friends in the region, officials said Monday.

To underscore the emerging alliance, and as a reaction to pressures from Libya, the plan calls for Egyptian and, tentatively, Sudanese troops to join the maneuvers in Egypt's western desert abutting Libya.

The exercise, called "Bright Star," would be much larger than last year's 10-day exercise around Cairo, which involved only U.S. and Egyptian troops. This one is tentatively expected to last from Nov. 9 to Dec. 6 and involve U.S. ground, air and naval forces in exercises over thousands of miles.

"The idea is to assure countries over there that we could come to their aid in a hurry," said one official, acknowledging that fears about Libya's stepping up military activity in Chad and Sudan added a sense of urgency to this second "Bright Star" exercise.

My UFOs have instructed me to notify you that they are going to attack these "Bright Star" Exercises (see clipping above) in order to wreck and/or damage the Exercises in order to show other countries that the U.S. cannot protect them!

Since the Base has not yet been provided my UFOs assume that another large-scale demonstration is necessary.

In "Bright Star" planes and helicopters should have accidents; U.S. personnel should make wrong decisions and errors leading to materiel and personnel accidents.

The entire "Bright Star" Exercise will be one great rolling disaster for the U.S. and U.S. forces, according to my UFOs, who plan to make that happen.

(Senate GOP leader Howard Baker said Sadat had died of wounds suffered in the assassination attempt. Baker said he had been informed of Sadat's death by Vice President George Bush.)

Also wounded in the assassination attack were Egyptian Vice President Hosni Mu- barak, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Halim Abu Ghazala, some foreign diplomats and three American military observers at the parade.

There were no reports of troop activity or any indications of a move against the government.

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) — There has been no change in the condition of Finland's 81-year-old President Urho K. Kekkonen, officials said Thursday.

"The president walks daily," a state- ment from the president's office said. Kekkonen, who has been president for more than 25 years, came down with the flu Sept. 11. The flu later caused slight cerebral hemorrhages and led to difficulties in thinking and lapses of memory, officials said.

Kekkonen's duties have been taken over temporarily by the prime minis- ter, Mauno Koivisto, in accordance with the constitution.

BONN, West Germany (UPI) — Chancellor Hel- mut Schmidt spent a com- fortable night after being fitted with a heart pace- maker and may be well enough to leave the hospi- tal this weekend, a govern- ment spokesman said Wednesday.

The one-hour operation at Koblenz military hospi- tal Tuesday aroused con- cern about the 62-year-old Schmidt's ability to handle the restive left wing of his Social Democratic Party.

Schmidt was admitted Monday with what was called a feverish infection and a government state- ment said doctors decided to operate after discover- ing the "risk of a rhythmi- cal disturbance" in Schmidt's heart.
