Raye et. al -

what is yours and your people's assessment of Thomas Pickering's job performance in foreign affairs?

do you think Flight 990 discussed at the Bilderberg Meeting in Washington?

will we see Bilderberg agenda expressed in foreign affairs with Egypt as Pickering is there now?

IMO - a strong US and Egypt relationship is essential for a Middle East peace - do you think one possible motive for Flight 990 was to erode US and Egypt relations? -

finally, we have talked about mind control but isn't a mindset as dangerous? a mindset would be a secret agenda in totum and a consensus feeling amongst 'Them' that 'They' are powerful and right about their solutions. Bilderberg Samual Berger was resolute and totally nonobjective in his speech to the Bilderberg. He was defensive - an Us versus Them tone - definately a nonsharing of ideas on global issues but isn't this characteristic of an evaluation process and doesn't evaluation characterize the passage through the Millennnium.

do we look for 'we are o.k.' and 'you are not' attitudes?

will they crystalize all over the world in the coming months?

DATE=11/18/1999 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=EGYPTAIR / MEDIA SPECULATION (L ONLY) NUMBER=256336 BYLINE=KYLE KING DATELINE=STATE DEPARTMENT CONTENT=

VOICED AT:

INTRO: The U-S State Department is appealing for an end to premature speculation about the crash of Egypt Air flight 990. As VOA's Kyle King reports, officials are concerned about possible damage to U-S Egyptian relations.

TEXT: U-S officials say it is still too early to make a judgement about the cause of last week's crash, which killed all 217 people on board the Boeing 767.

Many Egyptians have responded with anger to U-S news reports suggesting the co-pilot of the plane may have deliberately sabotaged the flight.

State Department spokesman James Rubin expressed concern about the speculation, which has been based on preliminary transcripts of the plane's cockpit voice recorder.

/// Rubin Act ///

We are concerned and troubled by speculative

conclusions coming out of those in the United

States involved in this general investigation

and we are doubly troubled and concerned by wild

conspiracy theories coming out in the Arab

media.

/// end act ///

Some Egyptian media have suggested that the co-pilot of the plane is being blamed to cover up some other cause.

Mr. Rubin said the Arab media reports are being fueled by what he termed the tremendous amount of speculation in the U-S media, and he appealed for calm on all sides.

U-S officials stress cooperation between U-S and Egyptian authorities has been good. Assistant U-S Secretary of State Thomas Pickering was scheduled to meet late Thursday with Senior Egyptian security officials to discuss the probe.

U-S officials, who are leading the air crash investigation, say they have not ruled out any possible cause. They say they are prepared to pursue all leads in the case, no matter where they go. (Signed)
