- <p> NO FAIR. Almost everyone else is coming, but there may not
- be a U.S. pavilion at the Expo 1992 Universal Exhibition in
- Seville, Spain. The U.S. Information Agency requested $15
- million over three years to help build a display hall. Uh-uh,
- replied Iowa Congressman Neal Smith, chairman of the House USIA
- subcommittee: "We are no longer going to construct buildings
- and then pay to tear them down after only six months." Without
- funds for architect and construction contracts, warns Marvin
- Stone, the U.S. commissioner general for the fair, "the project
- will die this month." Moreover, a snub by the U.S. could
- jeopardize its remaining military presence in Spain.
