High-speed rail service expands
OKLAHOMA ( I IY (Al'i — Ibe designation of a high-speed rail corridor

Midwest ( Tty. the leading legislative advocate of passenger train service.
The |J S Transportation Department announced the designation Wednesday.

hut Worth
The state owns a rail line from Oklalw >rna City to Sapulpa and has a commit-
ment from the Burlington Northern Santa Le Railway to use the line from
Sapulpa into Tulsa, hut the line needs upgrading.
Herbert said the repairs are estimated to cost about 52 K million
Stale officials won t know probably for at least two weeks how much money
is available tor Oklahoma, said Herbert and Joe Kyle, rail programs manager for
the stale Transportation Department.
Oklahoma will share $5.25 million in federal funds with other states with
routes receiving the formal designation of a high-speed rail com dor.

T in really excited about it I feel real good about our chances of getting
some significant money," Kyle said
Hill placed on administrative leave
SHLWLI.L, Ok la. (Al'j - Following a demonstration by students and two
school board investigations, Stilwell High School Principal Leon Hill has been
placed on administrative leave related to alleged grade tampering.
Ibe second school hoard investigation resulted in a lb page report showing
discrepancies in grade reporting, students getting credit tor classes not in the cur-
riculum and credit for college classes when no classes were attended
Hill has been removing his personal belongings from the school after he was
placed on leave this week, Supennlcndent Neil Morton stud Ihursday
Ibe school hoard voted Thursday night not to huy out the one year teaching
contracts of Hill and his wife, Donna, a counselor at the high school
Adair County District Attorney Dianne Barker Harrold said she had two in-
vestigators on the case and expected to see their report in about two weeks
She said she will then ask the state Attorney General’s Office to appoint a
special prosecutor
More than 250 high school students walked out of the school two weeks ago
to protest a September decision by the school board to simply admonish Hill and
ask that his wife he reassigned
of Aden who might have provided
the bombers with some logistical sup-
port
The diplomats, insisting on
anonymity, said the boat used by sui-
cide bombers was similar to boats
used by port authorities to guide ves-
sels into port or facilitate ships with
refueling
Seven bodies have been recovered,
and 10 sailors missing since the blast
were presumed dead, according to
IJ S Navy officials in Washington
Officials said they expected to find
more bodies on Friday
The Navy released the names of
the 17 sailors All but one is from the
enlistcfl ranks Two are female
Meanwhile, American military
planes evacuated 22 of the 33 injured
from Aden to Germany for medical
treatment, said Ll. Terrence The Cole,
a Bahrain-based US. Navy
spokesman in Yemen
The French Defense Ministry said
its army planes had taken the 11 other
injured sailors overnight to Bouttard
military hospital in Djibouti, where
six underwent surgery
Dudley said some of the injured
sailors were in serious condition and
others were stable. He did not give
further details.
American investigators as well as
U.S. Marines and soldiers filled Aden,
bringing in equipment to search for
clues beneath the water near the USS
Cole.
Sniffer dogs also were seen being
FESTIVAL
brought to the area The HMS
Marlborough, a British tngate. was
heading to Yemen from the Gulf to
provide technical asst1lance. Dudley
said
He said investigators may keep
working at the site another two days.
The USS Cole, one of the world's
most advanced warships, was left
slightly tilted in Aden harbor.
“The ship took fin) some water and
we are trying to dewater it
But. generally it is seaworthy and
we will tow it to the United States,"
said Dudley, of the Bahrain-based
U S. 5th Fleet
The Cole is a SI billion guided
missile destroyer home-ported at
Norfolk, Virginia
It was heading with a crew of
about 350 to the Gulf for maritime in-
tercept operations in support of the
U S embargo against Iraq
U.S. embassies in the Middle East
said Friday they had been ordered by
the U.S. State Department to cease
public operations until Monday in
light of developments in Yemen and
escalating violence in the West Bank
and Ga/.a Strip
Dave Ballard, a U.S. Embassy
spokesman in Cairo. Egypt, said the
order affects the embassy’s library and
prohahly its visa operations. Because
of the Friday-Saturday weekend in
many Islamic countries, no practical
effect would be seen in many coun-
tries until Sunday.
Anti-American sentiment has been
running high in the Arab world where
protesters have been condemning the
United States during demonstrations
against Israel s actions in two weeks
of deadly clashes in Jerusalem and the
Palestinian territories
In Washington. President Clinton
said Thursday that the USS Cole ex-
plosion appeared to be an act of ter-
rorism. the worst against the U.S. mil-
itary since the bombing of an Air
Force barracks in Saudi Arabia in
19% that killed 19 Americans.
Islamic extremists have been active
in Yemen, but Yemeni Prime Minister
Abdul-Kanm al-Iryam said in March
that the United States' most-wanted
terror suspect. Osama bin Laden, at
one time had colleagues" in Yemen,
but now "has no place in Yemen, no
military camps "
The United States accuses bin
Laden of organizing a militant net-
work with followers across the
Mideast, including Yemen, and says
he masterminded 1998 bombings
against the U S Embassies in Kenya
and Tanzania, which killed 224 peo-
ple
"We will find out who was respon-
sible and hold them accountable."
Clinton pledged Thursday
He dispatched to Yemen investiga-
tors from the FBI. the State
Department and the Pentagon and or-
dered a heightened state of alert tor all
U S. military installations around the
world.
No one has claimed responsibility
for the attack
Yemeni officials privately rejected
the accusations of a suicide attack,
saying a joint investigation is needed
to determine the cause
President All Abdullah Saleh on
Friday ordered his security staff to in-
vestigate the blast quickly, though
Dudley indicated the Americans are
conducting their own probe
Yemenis are helping with secunty.
he said
"The investigation is being done
by our team and is being conducted
quickly and fairly," Dudley said ”!
can't go into the details."
Yemeni police officials said a num-
ber of people had been detained for
questioning
The officials, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity, did not say how
many or if any were considered sus-
pects
Yemeni police and soldiers sealed
off the port area, preventing vessels
from approaching the warship
Journalists were barred from the area
Yemen became a more frequent re-
fueling stop for Navy ships after a
December 1997 U.S. decision to open
up contacts with the country The im-
poverished country on the tip of the
Arabian Peninsula on the Red Sea is
known for its anarchic politics, streak
of fundamentalism and routine
snatches of Western hostages who
generally are exchanged unharmed for
government pledges to provide basic
services.

"But it is no way an impact to either
safety or mission success.’’
Discovery, which finally launched
Wednesday after three tailed attempts
because of parts and weather prob-
lems. is flying the 100th space shuttle
mission.
Though NASA has made four oth-
er visits to the space station, this is the
first actual construction mission since
the first parts of the outpost were
launched in 1998.
The 11-day mission has been on
hold for two years, as have subse-
quent assembly flights, because of
Russia's difficulties in launching the
space station’s crew quarters. The
module was finally placed in orbit in
July and was outfitted by a visiting
space shuttle crew in September.
The truss and docking port aboard
Discovery must be installed on the
space station before the first perma-
nent crew can move in. NASA astro-

But the FDA spokesman said the
agency thoroughly inspected the llua
Lian plant before mifepristone was
approved. The plant will be re in-
spected every two to four years to en
sure quality.
“Foreign supply of drug mgredi
ents is not at all unusual." said the
spokesman "About 80 percent of the
ingredients for American drugs are
from foreign sources."
Hua Lian got help from the U.S.-
based Rockefeller Foundation in win
ning the production license tor RU-
4Kb under FDA specifications, said
Gao Ersheng. a research director at
the Shanghai Family Planning
Commission
In July. FDA inspectors toured the
Hua Lian plant, the Xin Lian factory
on Shanghai’s outskirts. A family
planning commission technical ex-
pert, Zhu lluibin. said Xin Lian was
now upgrading its production lint*
RU 48b was first developed by the
French manufacturer Roussel Uclaf,
but that company declined to make or
distribute the'drug in the United
Stales. Instead, at the urging of the
Clinton administration. ll.S rights to
the drug were turned over to the
Population Council of New York, a
nonprofit organization that promotes
reproductive research
The Council awarded U.S. distri-
bution rights to Danco Laboratories, a
Continued from Page 1
New York firm with an unlisted phone
number and address. T he Washington
Post reported that Danco was formed
in the Grand Cayman Islands in 1995.
Danco is to market RU-4K6 under the
brand name Mifeprex.
Sandra Waldman. a spokeswoman
lor the Population Council, said ques-
tions about the quality of the Chinese-
made drug “is a phony issue" because
the drug has met "all the vigorous
standards" that FDA -approved prod-
ucts must meet.
“People should be assured that
they arc not getting shoddy merchan-
dise," she said.
Waldman said the Council was still
concerned about the safety of groups,
including workers at the Chinese fac-
tory, who are involved in producing
and distributing RU-4Kb in the U.S.
T he Council recently hired a guard for
its New York offices.
No Danco official would talk with
the Associated Press, but a statement
faxed from the company said the plant
that will make RU-48b for the U.S.
market meets "both Danco’s drug
specifications and the current good
manufacturing practices of the FDA."
The statement said Danco had a
contractual agreement that "prohibits
us from discussing the identity or lo-
cation of the manufacturer."
Smith, the New Jersey congress-
man. said he fears patients who are in-
jured by RU-48b will not be able to
seek damages from the manufacturer
because the plant is located in China
"There is the dark motive of deny
ing women injured by this dangerous
chemical... (a) real means of suing for
recompense for their pain and suffer-
ing." Smith said.
naut Bill Shepherd and his two-cos-
monaut crew are scheduled to lift off
trom Kazakstan on Oct. 30.
