Polish envoy to mend ties after martial law and debt rise
Ambassador Kinast, Poland's liaison to the United States since 1981, works to rebuild relations strained by martial law and rising debt. He notes limited progress with bankers, while U.S. officials see cautious potential for reforms and co ventures. Poland eyes short term credits, joint ventures, and Western help, including a $2.4 million farm credit line with Rockefeller support.

Denver mayor seeks funds for airport
Denver Mayor Federico Pena urged Congress to provide 100 million dollars annually for five years to build a new airport, arguing Stapleton will suffer increasing delays. FAA data project 173000 hours of delays by 1996 unless a new facility opens. Critics call it a tough but warranted, regionally significant investment.
