Refugees Find Home in U S By Rick Du Brow
Nguyen Tien Dinh, 38, his wife and nine children, among 113 aboard a flight from Bangkok, arrived as the first 15,000 refugees to be admitted under a Congress approved program. The group included about 7,000 boat people escaping Vietnam after the 1975 fall of Saigon. They will be welcomed across Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Green Bay, Peoria, San Francisco and other cities, with 130 more due next week.

Park Tong-jin weighs Park return to United States in indictments
South Korea may leave the decision to Park Tong-jin on whether to return to the United States to face a 36 count federal indictment over alleged efforts by Seoul’s CIA to influence U.S. policy. He postponed a decision after a 70 minute meeting with Secretary of State Vance and said ending the dispute amicably would help relations. He declined to commit to returning, noting it depends on his feelings. The meeting yielded no solution and U.S. congressional investigators were free to question him in Korea.

Lebanese rightists seize hill in six day battle Khiam
The PLO says Israeli backed Lebanese rightists hold a strategic hill near Khiam after six days of fighting with Palestinians and Lebanese leftists. Palestinian rocket attacks from across the border hit Safed while Israel warns Syria and jets patrol the Khiam area. The NLP claims control of additional hills around Khiam as Baroug village braces for reprisals and claims ships off Tyre supply the Palestinians. Arafat reports no material Arab support yet, only encouragement.

Former CIA biochemist to testify on Senate mind control probe
Former CIA biochemist Dr Sidney Gottlieb, long linked to the MKULTRA mind and behavior control program, is summoned to testify with immunity from prosecution. Senator Kennedy leads the inquiry, noting the work eroded personal and institutional freedoms in the name of national security. MKULTRA origins trace to the early 1950s CIA efforts amid Cold War fears of brainwashing.
