The additional Airborne Emergency Command Posts, at about $26 million each, would be the most costly aircraft in the United States. Three of the jumbo jet planes already ~ are operating. The fourth, with more advanced equipment, is being readied for service next year. Shortly after he became president last year, Carter was briefed aboard one of the E-4A command planes by members of the military battle staff who would run the aircraft’s elaborate equipment in time of war, The planes would provide ahavenfor the president and top civilian and military leaders in the event a nuclear attack threatened destruction of the capital. DISMAYED AT COST After that flight, Carter, who was reported to be dismayed at the cost of the added planes, told Defence Secretary Harold Brown in effect not to buy the planned fifth and sixth models.

HOURS 7-9 am. 3-5 p.m Fishing rights approved by committee By GARRY FAIRBAIRN WASHINGTON (CP) — The U.S. Senate commerce committee approved today. U.S.-Canadian reciprocal fishing arrangements for 970, but indicated that full Senate approval may not come until after changes are made, Senator Warren Magnuson (Dem. Wash.), the com-. ‘mittee’s : authority on fisherles matters, com- mented that “I'm not quite satisfied with the agreement presented to us by the state department but they're working on some revisions." Magnuson said he had agreed to get the fisheries agreement bill to the Senate floor, allowing U.S. fisheries negotiators to show that the United Slates is not stalling on the agreement. The bill still needs House of Representatives com- mittee and floor approval in addition to full Senate ap- proval. The agreement would con- tinue 1977 reciprocal fishing arrangements, pending completion of a long-term CanadaU.S. treaty on fisherles and maritime boundaries. The 978 agreement would add one _new feature, allowing B.C. fishermen to troll for salmon in a greater area of‘ U.S. waters. The United States, however, has so far declined to implement the greater area because of pressure ‘from U.S. —_westcoast fishermen and because Canada falledtocomply with a provision requiring closure of the Swiftsure Bank fishery for conservation purposes. ISSUE ULTIMATUM Canadian officials, declaring that U.S. refusal to open the larger trolling area is too great a reprisal for Canadian failure to close Swifteure, have threatened to ban U.S. fishermen from Canadian waters. A west coast consultative committee of U.S. and Cana- dian officials is to meet this week to discuss the dispute. ‘ operations ‘the “We'll have to do something on this im- plementation matter in the next few weeks or the season will be over,”’ Magnuson told the committee. . Even if the 1978 agreement receives full congressional approval without changes, U.S. officials have promised to consult Magnuson and his House counterpart before deciding to open the larger area to B.C, salmon trailers. In other business, the com- mittee approved revisions to the North Pacific Fisheries Act arid a bill restricting the .of forelgn processing ships. ’ The fisheries act would re-_ duce Japanese salmon fishing within the U.S. 200- mile limit and the second bill .would place tight restric- tions on U.S, fishermen selling their catches to foreign processing ships. - “We want to keep those foreign factory ships aut of 200-mile —ilimit,”’ Magnuson said If you reside in Terrace or Thornhill and do not have a@ paper carrier - we have a PECIAL OFFER FOR YOU! your local distributor ¢ | for Kitimat. | MONDAY- FRIDAY delivered for only 3 - your % cal news just
