Senate adopts no-smoking standard for both US and foreign airlines

Article Abstract:

The US Senate endorsed a new anti-smoking measure that would curtail smoking on international flights. While smoking has already been banned on most US domestic airlines, the Senate measure calls for the Dept. of Transportation to require that foreign airlines ban smoking on flights either coming or going into the United States, or that some negotiated compromise is reached which would reduce smoking during such flights. The intent of the legislation is to pressure foreign carriers, and their governments, to support anti-smoking restrictions at international aviation meetings during the fall 1998.

Lockheed posts profit decline of 66%, says early '99 net will trail forecasts

Article Abstract:

Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin Corp. reported a 4th quarter drop in earnings of 66%, just as Wall St. expected. Now it is warning the Street that early-'99 profits could be down also, due to problems in its space and commercial-information sector and due to aircraft delivery delays. For the 1998 year, earnings were just over $1 billion, a drop of 23% compared to 1997.
