SV PULL IN MCU (English) NATO SPOKESMAN JAMIE SHEA SAYING : "Let me say that as you know operations continued yesterday evening and into the night, the concentration was on targets in Kosovo itself, particularly an assembly area, petroleum, oil and lubricant facilities at Pristina and there was some cruise missile attacks against two radio relay stations. I must stress that these were strictly military targets. But as you can see last night NATO had a night of relative restraint, we were mindful of Orthodox Easter celebrations." 1.27 6.

SV WILLIAM COHEN, UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF DEFENCE AND GENERAL SHELTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF LEAVING ABC (AMERICAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION) TELEVISION STUDIOS 2.35 9. MCU (English) COHEN SAYING: " We are starting to see some real successes on the ground. We are cutting off his supply lines. We are starting to destroy a good portion of his ammunition production capability and fuel. We are starting to see an impact on the morale of the Serb forces. They see that they are going to be in tougher and tougher shape as the days unfold. We are starting to put the A-10 Tank-Killers into effect. We'll be moving the Apache's in fairly soon. All of that will have a cumulative impact upon the ability to do what he's been doing so far." 3.19 10. MCU (ASKED ABOUT USE OF GROUND FORCES) COHEN SAYING: " That is the recommendation, at least the point of view of the Chairman of the Military of NATO and also of SAC (Supreme Allied Commander) General Wesley Clark. They believe in carrying out this campaign through the current air operation. Thus far they have not recommended any change in that course of action. Should they do so there is a detailed military plan that has been done as far as a permissive environment for our forces. And also an assessment was done last fall (autumn) for a non-permissive environment. Both of those plans could be updated fairly quickly, but at this point General Clark does not see a need to do that nor does the Chairman of the Military Committee in NATO." 3.58 AVIANO, ITALY (APRIL 11, 1999) (POOL - ACCESS ALL) 11.
