The major variances between official re-
ported deficits and those contained in the
()Reilly report are due primarily to differ-
ences in measuring and reporting liabilities.
"Our report reflects accrued pension costs,
reserves for losses on federal loan guaran-
tees, and other liabilities of the government
which are not included in the official Treas-
ury debt," said O'Reilly.

TRIBUTE TO RICK DEES AND
K.I1J
HON. ROBERT K. DORNAN
OF CALIFORNIA . :
/N THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES w
Thursday, October 2,1980
Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, it gives
me great pleasure to commend to the
attention of my colleagues the out--
standing contribution made to the Los
Angeles community by radio station
KII3 and by Los Angeles' favorite disc
jockey, Rick Dees. Those familiar with-
KIIJ know that is : an enormously
public spirited station, ` consistently
demonstrating a desire to make Los
Angeles an even better place to live. It
was no exception then, when "the
Rhythm' of the Southland,!' as it is
known to its millions of listeners, gra-
ciously and enthusiastically devoted
considerable time, energy, and expense,
to help save Santa Monica Bay from,
Federal offshore drilling Proposals.
When the Secretary of the Interior
announced that Santa Monica Bay,
that beautiful part of the Pacific
Ocean which lies between Point Durne
in Malibu and Point Vicente In-Palos
Verdes, would be exempted from Fed-
ml oil drilling lease sales, it was a
:ellen savored victory. This -magnifi-
eent body of water, visited by over 56
rr.!,,lion people each year, is simply too
valuable a resource to endanger by
constructing oil drilling platforms only
'1 miles from the curvaceous. Palm
laden palisades and beaches of Los An-
geles. The Secretary's decision marked
the culmination of yeomanly efforts
on the part of a great many people
who got this message across. KIM and
Rick Dees were at the forefront of this
effort. ? ? - . ?
Concerned that the public had no
direct voice in the early Interior De?
partment decisionmaking process, I
was able to form the bipartisan Save
Our Bay Committee. It included the
mayors of the Santa Monica Bay
coastal cities and many State and,
county elected officials as well. We
had decided that a public demonstra-
tion of support for the preservation of
Santa Monica Bay was required and I
asked Rick Dees and ICH,T if they
would help arrange publicity and sup-
port for our petition signing rally.
Their response was immediate and en-
thusiastic. - - -
Within days, KHJ had mobilized its
considerable resources to print thou-
sands of fliers and petition signing
pads. It parent company, RKO Gener-
al, issued a multimillion dollar insur-
ance policy to cover the day's events.
KILT set up a roller disco skateathon
contest which ran concurrently with.,
the rally's other events. Rick Dees and
KILF's many other talented disc -jock-
eys gave the rally weeks of airwave
publicity. Many more tasks were also
performed, for all of which special
thanks to RITJ's Dwight Case, corpo-
rate president; Harvey Mednick, vice
president; Richard McGeary. general

manager; and Chuck Martin, program.
director. A very special expression of.
thanks and appreciation also goes to
Greg Taylor, director of promotion, es -
and Nancy Wilkerson, promotion coor-
dinator at KILL They both did an out-
standing job in coordinating all of
KI1J's participation in the Save Our _
Bay rally.
On the day of the rally, held along-
side the world famous Santa Monica
Pier, over 1,000 people parked their_
blankets on the beach and listened to.
their elected officials, rock performers,
Rick Dees, and other famous celebri-
ties, including Dinah Shore, Brian ;
Wilson and Mike Love of the Beach
Boys, Dick Martin, and Rick Little
join in the chorus of opposition to oil
drilling. Many more telegrammed ones- s
sages of support were also read that
day.
A brief note about Rick Dees.: He's a e
bright new star in the entertainment
industry. Since moving to Los Angeles ?;
from Memphis in early 1979, he quick- .
ly and easily captured the loyalty and
friendship of his morning drive listen-
ers. Be it at home, at work or on the
way to work, every business morning
Rick Dees and his wife, Julie,
Mc'Whirter Dees, entertain Los Ange-:
linos with funny stories, great imper-
sonations, and terrific music. More
than anything else. though, they corn:
mtmicate their likeability. It is their
greatest asset. Keep an eye on them,
they are on the way up. , '
Again, Mr. Speaker, let me restate to
IOU and to Rick Dees my personal
thanks and gratitude. Their fine work
has helped to insure that Santa
Monica Bay will remain as it is, a
unique national resource for the-
people to enjoy..
? NICARAGUA'S LINK TO

HON. ROBERT J. LACOMARSINO
- OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, October 2, 1980--
4 Mr. LAGOMARSLN'O, Mr. Speaker,
on Tuesday, September 30. 1980, the
Subcommittee on Inter-American Af-
fairs of the Committee on Foreign Al-:-
fairs of which I am a member, held an
Important oversight hearing on the
Implementation of key provisions of

October' 2, 1980 CONGRESSIONAL -RECORIY?Extensicms of Remarks
12, 1980, in issuing such a determina-
tion to the Congress, the subcommit-
tee heard testimony from Members of
Congress, the Department of State.
the Defense Intelligence Agency, and
the Central Intelligence Agency. Fol-
lowing that hearing, it was my conclu-
sion as well as a majority 'of the sub-
committee that Nicaragua is in fact
engaging in those very activities of
supporting terrorism and exporting
violence that the President's. certifica-
tion denys.
? While much of the evidence relevelt
to such a certification is of a cla.ssified
nature, the subcommittee did hear
public testimony which does reveal
the geriousness of the question at
hand and the overwhelming amount
of evidence that is available through
nonclassified sources. In his statement
before the subcommittee, our col-
league Congressman Brr..i. Youxu of
Florida. who is the author of the key
amendment-- in question, clearly,
spelled out his view, that the legisla-
tive intent has not been complied with
by the President. Furthermore, in
reaching this decision it should be
noted that Congressman ,Yotn7G, as a
member of the House Select Commit-
tee on Intelligence, has had access to
the identical intelligence resources the
President used to reach his determina-
tion,
In light of the evidence that has
been presented before the subcommit-
'tee concerning the activities of the
Sandinista government before Septem-
4 ber 12 of this year when the President
I made his certification and such new
evidence related to their activities
after thatdate such as-that related to
the Somoza assassination, I urge my
colleagues to join with me in calling
upon the President to review his deci-
sion and -the entire determination
process. According to the law, if thefl
President is made aware of such evi-
dence that runs contrary to his certifi-
cation', he is required to make all such
loans immediately due and payAble. ?
For the information of my col-
leagues, at this point in the RECORD, I
submit th of Congressman
Y VI-Testimony: '
TESTIMONY OF CONGRESSMAN C. W. B LL
Yoinira - ? - -
M'?? Chairman, on "sjp. 12, the
Presidettates signed a cer-
tification pursuant to Section 536(G) of the
Foreign Assistance Act in which he swore
that the Government of Nicaragua "has not
cooperated with or harbors any internation-
al terrorist organization or-is aiding, abet-
ting, or supporting acts of violence or terror-
ism in other countries." The intelligence ix-
formation 'available to the President proves
the opposite. I have had the opportunity to
. examine information made available to the
President by our intelligence agencies and
no reasonable man, after examining that
evidence, could reach the same conclusion
? contained in the President's certification.
As this is an open session. I will not quote
from any of the .classified intelligence re-
ports. I will use instead the public record
v.hich is thoroughly consistent with the
classified information and is not contradict-
ed in any way by the reports of our intelli-
gence agencies. ? ? ?
- The Sandinistas have made it clear that
they have no intentions of fulfilling any re-
quirements that the Congress of the United
States hes placed on the $75 million loan.
Interior Minister Tomas Barge said on Sep-
tember 5, "If they could buy us with $75
million or with one billion dollars, we would
stop being revolutionaries. We revolutionar-
ies would rather starve if necessary before
falling on our knees in the face of yankee
imperialism Let them refuse once and for
all to give us the $75 million. They think we
are going to beg. How little do they know
-the Sandinists." (Broadcast over Managua
Radio Sandino, on September 6, 1980.)
In an Interview published September 14,
1980, in the newspaper LaPrensa, the Junta
? member. Arturo Cruz pointed out that, "at
the same time Congress was approving the
loan, there were precise recommendations
to President Carter to affect' the disburse-
ment and the use of the loan, 'based on
direct and precise observations of Nicara-
' gua.." -He called specific attention to the
-clause that prevented the Sandinistas from
getting money in the event that Nicaragua
Is "proved to be involved in acts of terrorism
or to be sheltering groups which carry out
such actions." Cruz continued, "I wish to
make it very clear, that this is a duty im-
posed by the U.S. legislature on the Presi-
dent. In other words, it is 'their' political
, problem. The 'revolutionary government in
no way accepts, under, any circumstances,
any agreement?whether for a loan or for fi-
nancial cooperation?with the United States
or with "any' country in the world not even
with the Holy See, that contains any clause
that is injurious to the national dignity or
that imposes financial conditions of a uni-
lateral nature."
Despite the fact that the Sandinistas have
made it clear that they will not accept the
$75 million if that means that they must
stop supporting terrorism in Latin America,
Cruz claimed that as soon as Congress ap-
proved the loann$15 million was made avail-
able and that when they sign the agreement
they will receive -another $40 million and
-the rest . will come a short time later. In
other words, the first $15 million was re-
leased to them long before the President
? certified that they were not involved in the
export of terrorism.
. The most significant support to terrorism _
given by the- Sandinistas is the aid and
training that they supply to terrorist groups
in El Salvador. On June 23, 1980, the press
and radio in El Salvador published the
statement of a captured terrorist Julian Ig-
na,citi Otero Espinosa. Otero testified that
he, himself was involved in the shipment of
? arms from Nicaragua to the terrorists in El
Salvador. He said, "On several opportunities
we went to the border with Honduras to re-
ceive arms coming finial Nicaragua. On
other occasions, we received arms coming di-
rectly from the Soviet Union and the Social-
ist Republic of Cuba." He referred to "the
active collaboration of the government of
Nicaragua. Not long ago landing exercises
were carried out in the Corinto area and
they have training camps in Nicaragua."
On June 25, 1980, the official Managua
radio Sandino, reported the unification of
the terrorist groups in El Salvador. They
stated "A single army will emerge from
their force, their heroism, their revolution-
ary awareness, their responsibility toward
the peoples of the world and their unity."
The day before the announcement of the
unity of the terrorist groups in El Salvador
over the official Nicaraguan radio, the ter-
rorists sent letters to ,a number of promi-
nent politicians and journalists in El Salva-
dor threatening their lives. Those threat-
E 4773
ened include representatives of the French
News AgencY, Reuters, Associated Press and
United Press InternationaL
It is interesting to note that the Cuban
Ambassador to Nicaragua Julian Lopez, is a
member of the Americas Department of the
Central Committee of the Communist Party
of Cuba. The Americas Department is re-
sponsible for providing support to terrorists
and insurrectionary groups, throughout the
hemisphere.
It is also of some significance that the
press in Kuwait reported on August 23 that
a delegation' from the Palestine Liberation
Organization had gone to Nicaragua to su-
pervise military training. According to the
newspaper, Ar-Ray AI-Aram the instructors
were sent in accordance with an agreement
between Yasir Arafat and the leaders of the
Sandinista Government in Nicaragua. Actu-
ally, there has been along standing rela-
tionship between the PLO terrorists and the
Sandinista terrorists. On August 7, 1979, the
Kuwait newspaper Al-Watan reported an in-
terview with Jorge Mandl, the Sandinista
representative in Europe: Mandl said,
"There is a long standing blood unity be-
tween us and the Palestinian Revolution.
We have long had close relations with the
Palestinians. Many of the units belonging to
the Sandinista movement were at Palestin-
ian revolution bases in.Jordan .as an ex-
ample of our cooperation with the Palestin-
ian Revolution, a number of our comrades
took part in the operation to divert four
planes which the Pannier Front for the Lib-
eration of Palestine seized and landed at a
desert airfield in Jordan. One of our com-
rades was also wounded in another hijack
operation in which Layla .Khalid was in-
volved. She was in command of the oper-
ation and our comrades helped her carry it
out."
This close association between the Sandin-
ista, terrorists and the PLO perhaps explains
why, when the American Jewish Committee,
investigated the situation of Jews in Latin
America in May, they found that the entire -
Jewish Community of Nicaragua, some 70
families, about 350 people, had vanished
from that country. This was reported in the
Jewish Press, New York, May 23, 1980.
The role of the Sandirilsta government of .
Nicaragua, and the terrorists that they sup-'
port from other parts of Latin America, in
the murder of former President Somoza is
obvious to everyone. Only the Sanainistasn
benefited from the murder, and the Argen-
tinian terrorist killed in a shoot out with.
police shortly after the murder had close
ties with the Sandinista government. He -
was a member of the Trotskyite terrorist or-
ganization InftP (Revolutionary Army of the. .
People) which has long collaborated with
the Nicaraguan Sandinistas. -
You may retail that ray interest in this
subject is not a recent one. I was instrumen-
tal in calling for the closed session of Con-
gress held 25 February 1930 in order that
classified information could be presented to
_the full Congress -In. considering aid for
Nicaragua. Even prior to that time; the Sub-
committee on Evaluation of the House Per-
manent Select Committee on Intelligence,
of which I am a Member, had been engaged,
as part of their regular duties, in monitoring
the quality of intelligence performance in
this part of the world. So this has been a
continuing and ongoing effort.
I am very concerned about the President
making the certification that the govern-
ment of Nicaragua is not involved in the ex-
porting of terrorism or in supporting the
overthrow of other duly constituted govern-
ments In Central America, since I have had
access to the intelligence information of the
CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency
concerning this matter. While I cannot

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD?Extensions of Remarks October 2, 1980
quote classified information in this open
session, I can tell you that the intelligence
reports confirm in overwhelming detail that
the Sandinista clique that rules Nicaragua-is
engaged in the export of violence and ter-
rorism.
I feel that you should also know about the
difficulties that we have recently had in ob-
taining the classified information on this
subject from the Executive Branch.
As I previously noted, the staff of the
Subcommittee on Evaluation has had an on-
going study of intelligence of Nicaragua
which bekan in late 1978. As part of that re-
sponsibility the staff often makes visits to
the CIA to talk with analysts and periodi-
cally requests studies produced by the CIA
and other intelligence agencies in Washing-
ton, and in general has paid attention to
what is going on.
On 12 August of this year the staff made
a routine request to talk with an analyst at
CIA's National Foreign_Assessment Center
about Nicaragua. The staff was told that
they would not be able to talk with the ana-
lyst at CIA since there was "a-Presidential
Embargo" on talking about Nicaragua. I was
unaware of this at the time Since this took
place during the recess, but the staff was
quite concerned. The Chairman of the Com-
mittee, Mr. Boland, sent a letter to the Di-
rector of Central Intelligence on this
matter, on August 22. To date the CIA has
not responded to that letter.
I would further note that the staff was
notified via telephone on September 10 that
the embargo had been lifted and that dis-
cussions could be held with CIA analysts.
Two days later the President made his certi-
fication that Nicaragua is not exporting ter-
rorism and/or acting as a conduit for arms
or sanctuary for revolutionaries in other
Central American countries.
On September 15 the staff of the House
Intelligence Committee was briefed on Nica-
ragua. The evidence of Sandinista export of
violence and terrorism was presented. As a
result of that briefing the staff requested
certain materials from the CIA. One of
those papers was a study produced for the
National Security Council. Although the
staff was allowed to read the study, as I was,
we were not allowed to keep the paper. We
were later given a study which, for the most
part, is the same as the paper which had
been supplied to the National Security
Council. One of the other documents is still
denied to us.
At the salve time the staff was talking
with analysts in the intelligence community
and also reviewing production by the De-
fense Intelligence Agency and the Depart-
ment of State to ascertain if there was any
kind of a dispute in regard to the facts, or if
the intelligence was so ambiguous that dif-
fering interpretations could be placed on it.
The staff of the Subcommittee on Evalua-
tion found that there is essentially no dis-
agreement within the intelligence commu-
nity on the evidence. There may be slight
nuances here or there, but in general the
community is in agreement. -
While there is no intelligence issue, there
is a policy issue. While the intelligence com-
munity is reporting one thing about what is
occurring in Nicaragua, our Chief Executive
Officer, the President of the United States
chooses to disregard that evidence and cer-
tify Otherwise. It is clear that either the
President hasn't read the same intelligence
reports that I have, or he had received them
through a filter. In either event, it is a seri-
ous matter. I believe that you should ex-
plore this matter in depth with the agen-
cies.
As I mentioned there -are documents
Which the Intelligence Committee staff has
requested which they have not received.
They have been given various reasons arid
excuses for why they cannot have them. My
own view is that they touch on political sen-
sitivities rather than sources and methods.
Let me say that in the deliberations over
the Intelligence Oversight Act of 1980, H.R.
7668, I was a firm proponent, along with my
colleagues on the Committee, that the CIA
deserved protection for intelligence sources
and methods. Obviously. our nation's intelli-
gence efforts need this kind of protection.
However, they must not be manipulated by
anyone to use the sources and methods
caveat, to withhold information which is es-
sentially politically sensitive rather than
source sensitive. Let me reiterate that an
embargo was placed on discussing this
matter with the staff of a Committee of the
Congress which is empowered to oversee the
intelligence community, assess its perform-
ance and evaluate-Its effectiveness. The em-
bargo was removed only after the President
made a political decision about the informa-
tion. And at this time, some data is still
being denied to us.
It is very disturbing that the Central In-
telligence Agency was directed to not pro-
vide an answer to the Chairman of the
House Permanent Select Committee on In-
telligence to the questions that he asked in
his letter of August 22. ?
What we have is a case of the intelligence
community being manipulated by the Ex-
ecutive Branch to protect a political sensi-
tivity. What dismays me is the political
misuse of the intelligence community,
which rightfully has a reputation for objec-
tivity. The intelligence community must be
free of political bias so that our decision
makers can use their reports to reach deci-
sions based on the facts of the matter, and
not on desired political outcomes.
-
I look forward to hearing the testimony of
the witnesses from the intelligence commu-
nity. They have a hard problem in light of
the President's certification. But, I am sure
that they'Fill be candid with is
th
Committee.*
DR. LAMAR DODD
HON. DOUG BARNARD, JR.
,OP GEORGIA
?
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, October 2, 1980:
? Mr. BARNARD. Mr. Speaker, I
would like to take this opportunity to
announce that a fine Georgian and a
distinguished' American, Dr. Lamar
Dodd, will present an 'illustrated lec-
ture entitled "An Artist's Flight Into
Painting" on October 22, 1980, at the
theater of the National Air and Space
Museum here in Washington. Dr.
Dodd will explore the many entities
that influence and stimulate an artist.
Lamar Dodd has a long history of af-
filiation with space exploration, and
he has been involved for many years
with the art program of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion. Two favorite subjects of Dr.
Dodd's paintings have been the explo-
ration of space and the documentation
of open heart surgery. He sees a defi-
nite link between scientists who work
In these two fields. A comparison of
these two subjects will also be covered
in this upcoming lecture.
The contributions Dr. Lamar Dodd
has made as an accomplished artist
and educator for over 40 years cannot
be overstated. He has works in the per- ?
manent collections of the most
prestigious museums in the country
?
including the National Gallery, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Whitney Museum of American Art,
and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art.
Presently, Dr. Dodd is the regent's
professor emeritus of art at the Uni-
versity of Georgia where he served as
head of the art department for 37
years.
In 1937, Lamar Dodd was invited to
join the University of Georgia faculty
and 1 year later was made head of the
art department. He then molded a na-
tionally recognized department from
the skeletal eight students and virtual-
ly nonexistent budget that were there -
when he took over. When Dr. Dodd re-
tired 37_years later it was an outfit of ? =
1,200 art majors and was financed by a-. 7 -
'7-digit budget plus many substantial
grants from foundations. These monu-
mental strides were made possible by
the individual effort and excellent -
leadership that Lamar Dodd provided.
Mr. Speaker, I know I speak for all = -
the Members of the House when I
commend this fine American and ?
grand artist and thank him for the
multitude of contributions he has
made to the world of art. I feel certain
that the lecture he will deliver on Oc-
tober 22 will equal the high standards '
he has set and maintained throughout
his notable careen.)

OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
- Thursday, October 2, 1980
? Ms. FERRARO. Mr. Speaker, on
October 8, 1980, the Lions Clubs of the -
Ninth Congressional District of New '
York, under the leadership of District
Governor David Rennick, are corn-
memorating World Lions Day. I would
like to to use this forum to publically
congratulate these clubs for their sue- - -0
cesses in the past, and continued good
work in the future. - _
One of the major objectives of
Lions Club is service to community
members in need. Since they began in
1917, the Lions Clubs have made im-
portant contributions through their
humanitarian activities. They have
fostered a better understanding
among people around the globe. The "
Lions Clubs are now represented in
149 countries, and have a total mem-
bership of 1.3 million. -
I have had, as have so many of my
colleagues in the House, the opportu-
nity to speak before local Lions Clubs,
to work with them toward our mutual
-goal of bettering our neighborhoods?
and to rely upon them to help all of us
who seek to improve the quality of life
In our communities. Their record of
service is one of which they can be
proud, for it signifies a commitment - ?
which is deeply embedded in American
culture.
