Army chief on Timor, Irian tour

DENPASAR, Bali: Chief of the Army Gen. R. Hartono is scheduled
to tour Dili, East Timor and Jayapura, Irian Jaya, after a one-
day visit to Bali yesterday.

Hartono was quoted by Antara as saying that his visit, during
which he would meet with local senior officers, had no special
mission and there was no "urgent matter" to be attended. He said
he intended the trip to be an opportunity for him to introduce
himself as the army's new chief.

Hartono will be accompanied by army Inspector General Maj.
Gen. Muzani Syukur, Chief of the Army Strategic Reserve Maj. Gen.
Tarub, Commander of the Center for Infantry Arms Maj. Gen. Rifai
and Deputy Commander of the Special Force Col. Prabowo. (pwn)
