                   authorities until VOA's aterit  to get  te  Turkey has oeen accepted

                   America uhtil-15 January to conclude its negotiations vith.the Turkish
                   Governmeit., These negotiations appearto  be leading norete and, on
                   the assumption that VOA will not wain entrace  tj Turkey, the Depart-
