The air battle was the first fighting between the United States and Libya since American jets bombed Tripoli in 1986 and came amid rising tension between the two countries over Libya's construction of the plant. At the State Department, spokesman Diaries Redman also said there was no link between the plant and the warplane incident.

"There is absolutely no connection to any other story or concern you may have," he said. "It may be ironic, but, the two things are not related." Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi called the downing of his jets an act of increased "American terrorism," and vowed to "meet challenge with challenge," the official Libyan news agency JANA said. The American force "posed no threat to Libya" and the fighters were operating under "normal peacetime rules of engagement," Carlucci said, referring to the guidelines on when U.S. servicemen can open fire on forces that are thought hostile. The commander of 'the F-14 patrol made the decision to fire at the Libyan aircraft "in self-defense," and apparently shot down both planes, said Carlucci.

The system has brought improved records, easier access to those records and monitering of fees, fines and payments to the court clerks of the county. "We now have a system that is totally and completely available.

I mean it starts at the beginning and goes beyond the end," said Fifth District Court Judge William Hart. Hart has served as chairman of a state-wide committee that has developed the software for the records program. "Back in the spring of 1986, the administrative judges, in capacity with the administrative offices of the court and the supreme court, determined that it would be critical and very important to develop an information processing system that state-of-the-art and that would put Idaho in the forefront and in the most advantagous position to handle information in the court system," Hart said in his introduction of the system. "Minidoka county was chosen as the development site for a couple of reasons. One, is the fine staff we have and second, we are a represen-tive county that wasn't too big, wasn't too small." Hart said.

"It's our hope that this will be made available, financially, to every county in the state of Idaho," Hart said.
