JAPAN CITIZENS GROUP GIVE AWAY CONDOMS IN CAMBODIA

    TOKYO, Dec 17, Reuter - A Japanese citizens group said on Thursday it would
distribute condoms to U.N. peacekeepers in war-torn Cambodia to prevent the
spread of AIDS.
    Members of the Peaceboat group plan to visit Phnom Penh later this month to
hand out 10,000 condoms donated by Okamoto Industries, Japan's biggest condom
manufacturer.
    Many women from Thailand and Vietnam were apparently working as prostitutes
for personnel of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC),
Peaceboat officials said.
    At least 45 prostitutes were found to be infected with the HIV virus that
causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, they said.

                       Copyright 1992 Reuters, Limited
                           The Reuter Library Report

                     December  10, 1992, Thursday, BC cycle

   Indonesia's leading human rights group on Thursday urged the government to
ease its tough security measures in the provinces of East Timor, Irian Jaya and
Aceh.

   Indonesian troops are fighting independence movements against Indonesian rule
in each of the three provinces.

   ''The security approach should be reviewed because it will cause unrest in
the society and as a result development may not reach targets,'' Abdul Hakim
Nusantara, head of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (LBH) said to mark
International Human Rights Day.

   He said reports of political repression were mainly in areas where there were
separatist movements and that more than half of Indonesia's 600 political
prisoners were from East Timor, Irian Jaya and Aceh.

   Indonesia annexed East Timor in 1976 in a move that is not recognised by the
United Nations.

   The status of East Timor was brought into international focus last year when
troops fired into a crowd gathered at a cemetery to mourn the death of a
separatist sympathiser.

   The government says 50 people were killed and 66 were missing, but witnesses
put the death toll at up to 180.

   There are also pockets of resentment in Aceh (pronounced Achay) and Irian
Jaya.

   Separatist violence in staunchly Islamic Aceh has resulted in the deaths of
hundreds of people in the past two years, according to diplomats and human
rights groups.

    Jakarta  crushed armed resistance to Indonesian rule when it took over Irian
Jaya from the Dutch in 1963, but the separatist Free Papua Movement still
retains sympathisers.

   Analysts say another issue causing resentment in the three provinces is
poverty and unemployment.

   ''The authorities should boost the welfare approach that would enable people
in the regions to participate in (national) development,'' Hakim said.

=======================  Forwarded  Message  ===========================

From: Kamol Hengkietisak <kamol@ipied.tu.ac.th>

DEFENCE Minister Vijit Sookmark yesterday defended the Armed
Forces against criticism about their large budget and their secret
fund for which there is no public accountability.

The minister argued that the military budget was not very big in
comparison to the equipment that they must buy to do the job of
defending the country.

He cited the high cost of warplanes, pointing out this was
necessary in order to provide the Royal Thai Air Force with the
capability of defending the sky against enemy aircraft.

Gen Vijit revealed that in the future there will also be a need to
ask for a bigger budget to develop the Armed Forces and purchase
high-technology equipment.

He insisted that the secret fund was not too big and cannot be
revealed for security reasons. He said that the fund is requested
only to the level where it is necessary.

Gen Vijit said that MPs realise the necessity of the fund and
cited Chart Pattana Party leader Gen Chatichai Choonhavan as
saying so in interviews with newspapers.

He said that he was not worried about Opposition criticism on the
issue and was prepared to explain it to Parliament during the
budget debate on Wednesday and Thursday.

Asked about the negative image of Thailand in the international
community with regard to its apparent reluctance to enforce the
United Nations' trade sanctions against the Khmer Rouge, the
general said that the military was ready to look after the
Thai-Cambodian border where the sanction is to be enforced and was
coordinating with other concerned ministries to this end.

The minister declined to elaborate, citing the Prime Minister's
call that officials refrain from commenting on the issue and let
only the Foreign Minister speak so as to avoid confusion.

He said that the Thai Armed Forces, through the Supreme Command,
was giving full cooperation to UNTAC to establish peace in
Cambodia and was also seeing to the repatriation of Cambodian
refugees, some 200,000 of whom have now gone home from refugee
camps in Thailand.

Gen Vijit said Thailand had suffered for the past 13 years from
the fighting in Cambodia and as a neighbour and a member of the
UN, it has always provided assistance according to budgetary
capability.

Thai soldiers have swept mines in Cambodia and spent 145 million
baht to build a road from Klong Luek to Sisophon in Cambodia, he
said.

    Australia's Defence Minister Robert Ray said Monday that he is taking legal
action over an Australian Broadcasting Corporation interview with an exiled
spokesman for the East Timorese resistance, Jose Ramos Horta.

    In the interview broadcast Monday, Jose Ramos Horta criticised Ray for
allegedly accepting statements by the Indonesians that captured East Timor rebel
leader Xanana Gusmao had not been tortured.

    Ray told the Senate last week that he had been advised by the Australian
embassy in  Jakarta  that Gusmao had appeared in good health when seen on
television.

    Ramos Horta criticised Ray and other Australian political leaders over their
attitude towards Indonesia's annexation of East Timor and massacre of thousands
of East Timorese.

    "Australia for the past 20 years has bent backwards to please the
Indonesians, almost like a little boy, always eager to please the bully," said
Ramos Horta in the interview recorded in London and broadcast here.

    He said Indonesia had paraded Gusmao on television as the Iraqis paraded
allied airmen captured during the Gulf War and it was now the opinion of
everyone that Gusmao was "subjected to horrendous forms of torture" and drugs.

    In an interview broadcast by Indonesian television, Gusmao said he
recognised Indonesian sovereignty over East Timor and urged his resistance
colleagues to surrender.

    A spokesman for Ray said the minister had advised the parliament that he was
taking legal action against both Ramos Horta and the ABC.

    Gusmao, 45, who since 1979 headed Fretilin's armed faction, was captured at
his underground hideout on November 20 in Dili, the East Timorese capital.

    The Indonesian Embassy in Canberra has said Gusmao's interview "showed that
the allegation of possible torture of Gusmao during his detention was baseless
and completely fabricated to arouse sympathy and to discredit the Indonesian
goverment".

No, that does not mean that at all. As I'm sure you know, licensing has always
been available separately from LPS. We don't need LPS for these machines.
Instead, we can buy an update license (currently quoted by our DECdirect sales
rep for about $16) and an update Hkit for those machines if and when we need to
run a newer version of client software. Betsy Carroll confirmed yesterday that
the license bundle is in fact "locked in" to the version of the client software
that exists at the time of the bundle purchase.

The deadline for submissions is Dec 28, but I'll need to have it before
then to get it entered.  Your participation is what makes the symposium
experience a success, so consider sharing with others something about your
institution and what you do.

Thanks,

  That's interesting. So a DECserver 700 (DSRVW-AA) should be orderable at
one of either my DBA discount or 7%? That's interesting. As of yesterday
neither DECdirect nor the folks at CCR were aware of this, and the E-store
still showed it as 0% discount.

  I'm still wondering about the discount on spare parts, where I am seeing
my DBA discount but no TEI. The list prices on these parts haven't been
lowered, so I'm wondering why the discount structure has changed.

Hi there,

If you have OpenVMS 5.5 and Posix 1.1 installed, you are in luck. uudecode is
included in POSIX. If you don't have them installed, there are several public
domain uudecode programs available from various sources.

E-mail directly to me if you need more help.
