[0:08] this is the CBS Evening News with Walter
[0:12] kronite good evening the Senate panel is
[0:14] questioning President Carter's charge
[0:17] that Cuba was involved in the recent
[0:19] Rebel invasion of Z shaba Province the
[0:21] Foreign Relations Committee says it
[0:23] wants to see the evidence Phil Jones has
[0:26] the
[0:27] story in a strongly worded speech on on
[0:30] the senate floor today Majority Leader

[1:20] president's saying I I recognize a
[1:23] contradiction when I see it and uh I
[1:26] think it's a fair request to ask for the
[1:28] evidence Secretary of State Vance was
