"Maybe, but its not yet decided," he replied. The foreign minister, who was flying to New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly meeting and to confer with American and U.N. officials on Lebanon, is also to meet Shultz in Washington in preparation for Prime Minicfpr Shimon Ppres' visit earlv next month.

Byers, 39, pleaded guilty in February to nine counts stemming from the Operation Jackpot drug investigation. He was sentenced April 17 to 25 years in prison without parole and fined $100,000 by Judge Falcon Hawkins. At the time, it was the toughest sentence handed down as a result of the ongoing Operation Jackpot probe.

The government charged Byers was a manager in a smuggling ring headed by other men charged in the investigation. Byers had been involved with smuggling for several years, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel. "We're talking about innumerable ventures to bring marijuana and hashish into the country," Daniel said at the sentencing. Byers owned "a fleet of vessels" for smuggling, set up offshore corpora tions to launder drug proceeds and "had connections literally across the globe," Daniel told the court. sssssss? i 1 The W T <<lll nafiA "CftS , i jjrm Review SS ,s < > r ;g Taiwan ggj April 30, 1985 Vv 8:00 p.m. The Township TmJM ion Jrm m jy? oni && anr> gS use Cultural
