"Large fluid withdrawals
could result in subsidence and

DiBona said the federal
government has had an active

"The goal of the program is to
stimulate the commercial deve-

a SALT II treaty with a tentative
agreement to be completed at a
U.S.-Soviet summit next month.
"We do not expect to sign a treaty or to
intitial a final draft," he told reporters.
But he said he hopes to have "a
concluding meeting" with Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko.
Vance was also preparing for weekend
talks on the Middle East deadlock with
Egyptian and Israeli representatives in
Brussels.
The session will involve Vance. Israeli
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and
Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil
and will be the first face-to-face session
between Egyptian and Israel ministers in
a month.
However, there is little expectation it
will lead to an immediate breakthrough in
the current stalemate.
Regarding the SALT talks, however.
American officials said there were only a
few relatively minor issues left to be
resolved by Vance and Gromyko.
That was their assessment when
speaking privately. The public rhetoric,
on the other hand, was aimed at deflating
any premature expectations.
Hijackers Release
Passengers in India
NEW DELHI, India (AP) - Two armed
hijackers who had demanded freedom for
jailed Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
surrendered Thursday and released 125
passengers of a domestic jetliner
unharmed, the United News of India said.
The hijacking climaxed nationwide
protests Wednesday in which 18,000
Gandhi supporters were jailed, many
voluntarily, and five persons were killed.
UNI said.
The agency said police fired into
stone-throwing mobs in the southern city
of Bangalore, killing four persons. A
pro-Gandhi demonstrator was fatally
stabbed by a government supporter near
Cannonore, Kerala state, on India's
southwestern coast, UNI said.
The two hijackers, identified as
members of the youth wing of Mrs.
Gandhi's Congress Party, will appear at a
news conference in Lucknow, the Uttar
Pradesh state capital, with Chief State
Minister R.N. Yadav. He successfully
negotiated their surrender 12 hours after

HOUSTON (AP) - Defense attorneys
say they intend to reel off four witnesses
today in a prelude to an expected
post -Christmas appearance by millionaire
defendant Cullen Davis.
The quartet includes two district
attorneys’ investigators and two private
sleuths.
Three members of the team defending
the Fort Worth industrial czar on murder
conspiracy charges hinted that Davis
would be their next-to-the-last witness.
However, they steadfastly refused to
confirm a published report that the four
attorneys and their client agreed
unanimously that Davis must testify.
"Hell," grinned lead defense attorney
Richard "Racehorse" Haynes. "We
can’t even agree on where we eat
breakfast."
If the report is correct, Davis would not
take the stand before next Wednesday.
"If a person takes the stand he does so
for all purposes," said prosecutor Jack
Strickland, suggesting that the state is
poised for a sweeping cross-examination.
Davis, 45. went on trial almost eight
weeks ago is accused of plotting the
contract murder of his divorce judge.
He insists he was framed.
Prosecutors say they expect Davis to
take the stand after the 5-day Christmas
break to furnish his version of his curious
relationship with FBI informant David
McCrory . McCrory once w orked for Davis
and the two were pool-shooting
companions and drinking buddies.
