ABC News confirmed plans yesterday to lay off 80 to 100 employees and to close down two bureaus while scaling back several others. The reductions are a result of a four-month internal study by the news division to find ways to cut costs in the wake of the huge expenditures caused by the coverage of the Persian Gulf war. CBS News has cut more than 100 employees, and NBC News is slowly paring staff, though its layoffs should fall well short of 100.
