TV SPECIAL EXAMINES IRAQ-U.S. RELATIONSHIP

Recent tensions between Iraq and the United States have quieted somewhat in the last few days.

But U.S. military men and women, including thousands from Hampton Roads, are still on standby in the Persian Gulf. And questions linger about Iraq's willingness to abide by the terms of diplomatic agreements designed to keep peace in the Middle East.

WVEC-TV 13, The Virginian-Pilot and Local News on Cable will examine the United States' past, present and future relationship with Iraq in ``Assignment Iraq: After the Gulf War.''

The half-hour special will air today at 11:30 a.m. on WVEC-TV 13 and at 1 and 4 p.m. on LNC. MEMO: Staff writer Elizabeth Thiel contributed to this report.
