Before that parliament rejected by 70 votes to 64 an amendment put forward by the Fianna Fail opposition party opposing the resolution. The government win cleared the way for debate on the new anti-subversive legislative package which Premier Liam Cosgrave demanded in'order to "rid the country" of the outlawed Irish Republican Army (IRA). The formal government resolution declared that "arising out of the armed conflict now taking place in Northern Ireland, a national emergency exists affecting the vital interests of the state."

"It will do more harm to Ireland than the terrorists have done in seven years," Deputy John O'Connell said.

The suggestion by the weekly Literaturnaya Gazeta ap peared in an article that also charged the United States violating the 1972 convention banning biological weapons and alleged that the CIA was producing and stockpiling chemical and bacteriological agents of mass destruction. The newspaper was commenting on the spread of unknown origin that has struck down 28 men and women, most of whom attended an American Legion convention in Philadelphia nearly two months ago. "Now in the United States they express the supposition that the participants in the American Legion convention out of control Pentagon experiments with chemical and biological weapons," the newspaper said without naming its sources. Among the victims, Literaturnaya Gazeta said, were residents of several cities where private industry was con ducting secret experiments on "new kinds of weapons of mass destruction" for the Defense Department.
