6 Birmingham Post-Herald, Thursday, August 11, 1994 C75 NATION Peace, love and pizza? Woodstock '94 begins tomorrow New York Times News Service Dr. Robert Katten missed the original Woodstock festival. But he is attending the second one, in a rented R.V. He's keeping an eye on his investment $10,000 in the company with the pizza concession. The break-even point: 60,000 pies.

Dolores O'Riordan had never heard of Woodstock. Then so someone asked her to sing at the 25th anniversary concert this weekend in Saugerties, N.Y. She decided to go, figuring that with so many people in one place, "it'll be a great vibe." Country Joe McDonald was there. But he. was not invited to Saugerties.

He's 52 now, playing places like the Seattle Zoo. As he sees it, trying to recapture Woodstock is laughable, like chasing the wind. So what does it mean, this muchballyhooed marking of another popcultural milestone? "I don't think there is any single answer," said poet Allen Ginsberg. "It could be both a continuation of the spirit of Woodstock and a co-optation or a commercialization or a commodification of that spirit." Then again, it could be just one very long concert. The official festival begins to-.

The body will lie in repose Friday from 11:00 a.m. until funeral time at the Pentagon, CIA say they were open on building project PA Associated Press WASHINGTON The CIA and the Pentagon insisted yesterday they had fully disclosed to Congress the construction of a new $310 million headquarters for the agency that operates the government's spy satellites.

The National Reconnaissance Office submitted a notebook full of documents to the Senate Intelligence Committee showing the administration had provided specifics on the planning, construction and cost of the buildings to Congress on at least nine occasions since 1990. That testimony was supported by Rep. Norm Dicks, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, who said there is a clear paper trail showing the Senate panel knew far more about the project than its protests would suggest. "I think this is a personal vendetta between (Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman) Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.) and (CIA Director) Jim Dicks said. "I think DeConcini is trying to do everything he can to destroy Jim Woolsey's reputation, and this thing has been unfairly portrayed." But despite the unusual public display of previously secret conflicts and details, senators continued to complain they had been kept in the dark.

And Woolsey acknowledged at a hearing before the Senate panel that the costs of the headquarters hadn't been spelled out as clearly as they should have been. "We're still viewed as perhaps being too damn nosy," said Sen. John Warner, who blamed the dispute on "a cultural problem" within RHYS age 80, of Ves- tavia Hills, died Tuesday, August 9, 1994. He was a graduate of the University of Alabama, and Washington University School of Medicine. Dr.

At last count, 163,559 of the 000 tickets had been sold, at $135 each; sales will continue through today. Katten is among the more senior Woodstock pilgrims.

He is 57, a dentist from Cherry Hill, N.J. His musical tastes run more toward Ella Fitzgerald than Nine Inch Nails. But when a friend's brother got the Woodstock pizza contract and went looking for backers, Katten figured, "Why not?" Twenty-five years ago, he was an engineer with a defense-contracting job that kept him far removed from Vietnam and what he calls "the shenanigans of the This time around, he will be spending the weekend with thousands of young people, supervising pizzeria workers and half-listening to bands with names like Porno for Pyros. "I'm not much into the rock," Katten confessed. Ms.

O'Riordan is into rock. Her band, the Cranberries, made its first album one year ago. "I know Jimi Hendrix," the Irishwoman offered genially, when asked about the original Woodstock bands. She does like the idea of the "big love-peace-human vibe" that she now understands the original Woodstock to have been. And she would not pass up a chance to play before such a huge crowd.

Back in Ireland, Ms. O'Riordan said, the pope is the biggest draw "bigger than rockand-roll." David Crosby, 53, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash agreed to a return engagement at Woodstock. Crosby spent quite a few of the years since the first festival addicted to heroin and cocaine, spending $1,000 a day on drugs. He served a prison term for cocaine and gun possession, during which he managed to quit drugs. Now he is working again.

"I'm really incredibly happy to be playing music at this point and having it work," Crosby said. "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better play before care of me."

"It almost seems like we're treated like the enemy," said Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, Not all senators agreed. Sen. Malcolm Wallop, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, criticized the panel for failing to exchange information among its own members. "This is as much the committee's fault as it is of the National Reconnaissance Organization," Wallop said on the Senate iloor.

"There is no exclusive blame." The Senate last night passed in a voice vote an amendment to the 1995 defense appropriation bill requiring all intelligence organizations to disclose in a specific budget line item any building project more than $300,000. 16 The Senate also unanimously act cepted an amendment by Sen. Richard Bryan, to freeze any. money for the NRO building project until a review has been completed and submitted to Congress. "This will come to be regarded as one of the great boondoggles of the post -Cold War era," Bryan said.
