A number of the enclosures concern two public issues which have much absorbed our attentions, strategic defense and aid to the freedom fighters of Nicaragua and Angola. These remain causes of strong interest to the American people which we have a clear duty to advance during the precious. last years of the Reagan Presidency.. Other articles concern another subject of much past work in this office: terrorism.. The long-deserved respite won by the President's air raid on Libya on April 14 may have come to an end with the events in Pakistan and Turkey. Now there may be other crimes against innocent people, and America may again be required to take harsh action against the states and individuals which are responsible. If you wish to set aside time to discuss these issues, or others in the national security area, I-would be glad to have you call Kathy Kish at my office and arrange an appointment.

Nikolai Chervov, arrived in London to tout the latest Soviet arms control proposal. At a pros conference and an appear- ance before the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee. t;herirov announced that "on 'Star Wars.' the Soviet Uitioa has actually trade a very specific compromise." While the pre- vious Soviet position had been that ??everything was to be banned. includ- ing research."

But as early as 1967. Soviet official publications were brag- grog about having already licked the most nettlesome strategic defense chal- lenge. "The USSR has far ouutripped=the United States not only in the aeation of intercontinental and other rockets. but also ia? the area of anti-missile des [ease," said the authoritative military publiation Soviet Rocket Forcer. "In our oamtry, we have suoeessfully solved the problem of destruction of rockets in flight." . How One Man 1~'ought Anti-Business Media. Bias? Almost 20 years later. it is enlight- ening toreview the strategicdefense ad- vances the Soviets have made. and the oaa that theyare Ukdy to make before the rnd of the century. Sovia SDI etforu can be divided into three geaeral'categoria: activities related to the. Moscow ABM system: deployed systetas. for Possible ttadon- wide ABM defettsa: and work on ad- vanced systems, most notably directed energy weapons. AU of this work is driven by Soviet military doctrine, which holds that stra- tegic defensive forces ue to be used to destroy any incoming strategic offen- sive weapons which tray have survived the Soviet ftnt strike. The protection provided by strategic defensive systems is nor expected to be total: only essen- tial leadership. military and core iadur trial seaters are to be defended on a priority basis. The proletariat would be kft to fend for itself. The flagship o! the Soviet SD[ system is the ABM iaeenceptor system de- ployed around Moxow. A major d in 1978 ' l pa ~In this issue... ?

TO SURRENDER `STAR WARS}~ IFrompagel Mors at ballistic .missile warheads outside the arch's atmosphere. The GA2.ELLE launchers ilil deploy interceptors designed to stop wuheads itl+in the atmosphere. $ecause only launchers and not the actual inter- :ptorsare limited by the ABM treaty, the possibil- yexists for the launchers to be reloaded and fired fain. In fact, two advanced atmospheric ABM ~terceptors have been fired from the same test uncher in less than two hours. The launchers are supported by a sophisticated igagement, guidance and battle management tdar network. designed to maximize the potential tr successful warhead intercepts. The stew early arning radar at Pushkino will be the bell-ringer for the Moscow ABM system; the BOG HOUSE and CAT HOUSE radus wiU track to incoming warheads; and the 24 TRY ADD tdars will have actual battle management respon- bilitics. The Soviet party elite are evidently quite pleased ith the Moscow ABM system. They awuded one f only three senior military promotions in 1985 to .natoly Konstantinov, the commander of the toscow Air Defense District, whose primary :sponsibility includes maintenance and improve- tent of the Moscow ABM system. Arrayed at more than a thousand locations round the Soviet Union ue the more than 10,000 ~rface-to-air (SAM) missiles and associated rdars which constitute the Soviet "air defense" stem. But true "air defenses" are intended to twut attacks by. "air breathing : _3Ystems~such. as _ o~? and his colleagues have never explained why. ~r example. between 1973 and 1975. SAM missiles sere tested 50-60 times at altitudes as high as 00,000 feet, when it is well known U.S. bomber nd cruise missiles fly at much lower altitudes. [t as also never been explained why SAM radars +ere used in ABM-related testing activity, which is probable violation of the ABM treaty. Like the Moscow ABM system. the territorial efense SAM systems and radus are being cx- anded and modernized. The new SAM missile, ne SA-12, is projected to have the capability to in- ercept shorter-range balliuic missiles, u well as ome submarine-launched and land?based inter- ontinental ballistic missiles. Of particular concern is the reported deploy- nent of the SA-12 t0 defend SS-25 mobile CBMs. Consistent with Soviet military doctrine, heSA-12 could greatly augment the survivability ~f a mobile ICBM "strategic reserve" force, "hereby enabling the Soviets to acetate a second strike after absorbing a U.S. retaliatory attack. Incidentally, the deployment of mobile radars to operate the SA-12 in an ABM mode and the de- J ployment of the SS-25 itself are violations of the ABM treaty and the SALT II treaty respectively. A great deal of attention has focused upon the six new large phased-array Pechora-class radus. five of which are deployed around the periphery of the Soviet Union. These radars are intended to pro- vide early warning of U.S. and Chinese ballistic missile launches, as well as missile tracking data. Because five of the radars provide little or no coverage for the Soviet interior, they are judged to have little or no ABM capability. The same cannot be said of the sixth radar, de- ployed near the town of Krasnoyarsk in the mid- dle of the Soviet Union. This radar complex is located 3.700 kilometer cast of Moscow and 750 kilometers aocth of the Mongolian border. But it is aimed towaid the extreme northeastern tip of ~ the Soviet Union,. more than 4,000 kilometers away. i The Soviets claim that the Krasnoyarsk radar serves the same early warning function as the five i other radars, but the ABM treaty requires that ear- ' ly warning radars be located on the Soviet border and pointed outward. Consequently, the Kras- noyarsk radar is widely acknowledged by most Western observers to be the Soviet Union's most blatant ABM treaty violation. More importantly, the location and capabilities of the Krasnoyarsk radar present the threw of an evolving ABM battle management radar network. The Krasnoyarsk radar is located in the vicinity of ------ae-leave--:~~Flr'>3M fields 9~d 9} trst} AA S/~M deployment area. The radar's coverage "fan" may include potential U.S. ICBM attack corridors. the laser weapons program appears to be the largest of the Soviet exotic SDI efforts. More than 10,000 top scientists and over SI billion per yeu arc devoted to laser activity, which is conducted at six major centers. The largest ~ center, at Sary Shagan. already boasts two ground-based Insert whicfi could be used to interfere with U.S. satellites in low earth orbit. Work is also proceeding on three kinds of gas lasers. excimer lasers. nuclear weapon-driven X-ray lasers and ugon ion laser. These efforu could culminate in a space-based laser deployment by the year 2000. The other exotic weapons efforts appear to be smaller and even .more closely guuded than the laser program. Panicle beam weapons. for in- stance, have been tested at laboratories in Sarova and Leningrad. Research on radio frequency weapons for damaging fragile missile and satellite electronic components may lead to tests in the 1990s. Guns for firing kinetic energy weapons, or "smart rocks," were developed in the 1960s and could be deployed on space platforms in the mid-1990s. The military significance of the total Soviet SDI program is considerable. Successful development and deployment of increasingly effective SDI systems, in conjunction with the continued deploy- ment of sophisticated and mobile strategic offen- sive forces, would represent the fulfillment of the Soviet strategic military doctrine; that is, to inflict maximum damage on the imperialists' offensive forces and then provide maximum protection far important military and political assets in the fact of the imperialists' retaliatory strike. ? As Mikhail Gorbachev put it recently, "The interrelationship between offensive and defensive arms is so obvious as to require no proof." Gen. Chervov is, no doubt, aware of this inter- relationship. as well. No one expects the Soviet Union to abandon its vast and multifaceted SDI research, development and deployment program. Similarly, no one should expect the U.S. to aban- don its embryonic SDI program. The success or failure of U.S. efforts to build a defensive system will depend upon the Administra- tion's ability to resist the siren's song of deep reductions in exchange for SDI limits. Certainly, there are those who recall the inviting :promise of the ABM treaty: strict limits on ABM activity. is exchange for detp reductions in stra- tegic arsenals. Those same officials now know the cost of this treasured belief: The Soviets, through -deceit -and -ucategic arms violations._greatly ex- anettal, leaving this nation vulnerable to a Soviet first strike. The question left unanswered is: Will the mistakes of the past be repeated? It is a ques- tion only the President can answer.

Jim Coarter Not many Americans would be shocked to learn that Czechoslovakia boasts of giving the Sandinistas St00 million in aid stare 1979. After all, Czechoslovakia is a member o[ the Warsaw Pact and a colonial posses sion of the Soviet Union. Americans are well aware that Soviet bloc spending oa btanagua's Dfarxists is immense. indicative of an invest- ment as important to the Kremlin as is Cuba. What most Americans do not know is that Sweden, a gentle detaocrac~r that most frequently makes the news because of Soviet submarine espio nage, has pro~?ided or pledged 5100 million to the ~iwraguan regime since 1979. This disturbing parallel between Czech and Swedish assistance illus? ttates the degree to which many of oar Western European friends are our eyes .

Carlos Tunnerman de- picts the Sandinista revolution as aimed at independence and liberty. a revolt akin to the American one of two centuries ago. I wish that it were. Certainly other Central American republics such as Costa Rica and the renewed EI Salvador have demonstrat- ed that constitutional democracy needs no United States imprimatur to work welt. Its principles are as universal as our founders declared them to be. But the principles of Marxism-Leninism are also held to be universal, and it is they which guide certain modern revolutionar- ies, the Sandinista chiefs among them. Members of the junta bared their true alle- giances at celebrations in Cuba a few days after the triumph over Somoza in 1979. The irony of the visit was that Cubans had 3vZr-tiro v~n'SaTifta'rn'--fFie name o pcndence and democracy. Within a few years Cuba had neither. and Castro, who spoke in 1959 of an "olive-green revolu- tion, as Cuban as the palm trees," admit- ted that his guide was the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. Look at Nicaragua. As early as 1981 La Prensa's Pedro Chamorro? declared that the new rulers "practically idolize Cuba. They say that someone needs to teach us 'the Cuban way' ...There are moral and ideological ties that cannot be broken with Cuba, Russia. East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia." Today the Nicaraguan revolutionaries are counterrevolutionaries whose powers are concentrated in the East German-advised secret police, the militias, Cuban-style block committees, Red Guard?style youth mobs, state socialism, and the quiet death of the last independent presses and radios. The Sandinista-run elections of 1984 of which Tunnerman makes so much did no more to protect and preserve democracy in Nicaragua than did the elections of 1948 in Czechoslovakia. Mr. Tunnerman extols the battle against Somoza because he imagines that Ameri- canswill remember their own rebellion and believe, adapting Gertrude Stein. that a revolution is a revolution is a revolution. But some revolutions make men free, and others make men the subjects of new dicta- tors. The difference is in the revolutionar- ies' principles: either they base govern- ment on tni: principle of equality and.limit the powers of their own governorship, or they base government on the principle that history anoints some to rule others, and to rule with irresistible means. Washington and Madison did the former. The Bolshe- viks, the Castroites, and r2ow the Sandinis- tas have done the latter. Jim Courser Member of Congress (R) /2rh District, New Jersey Regarding yourJuly 1986 article on Mor- gan Fairchild by Bruce Brady: Please, give us a break. Your characterization of Mor- gan Fairchild as the actress-activist "at war" with the Hollywood stereotype, but nonetheless willing to buck the system in pursuit of her "ideals," is really too much. In fact, the ideals that Ms. Fairchild es- pousesare exactly those which Hollywood holds nearest and dearest. First, Ms. Fair- child is "pro-choice". This is not surpris- ing, in view of the fact that the entertain- ment industry as a whole endorses the idea that men and women should be able to do what they want, when they want and how they want without regard to the conse- quences, particularly in matters of sex. Ms. Fairchild is obviously no exception. Second, Ms. Fairchild is anticensor- ship, and if it means allowing pornogra- phers to distribute films, magazines, vid- eos and what-have-you through the mass media, who is she to say it's wrong? Third, Ms. Fairchild is anti-school prayer. Yep, school is for reading Thoreau, Emerson, Jefferson and Franklin. Let's just make sure that we avoid those portions of their works which refer to God, the Almighty, the Creator, etc.-or would we be flirting with possible censorship? Obviously the reading, of such highly moral and instruc- tive works presents a knotty problem for GMs. Fairchild, who doesn't like fundamen- talist Christian-type ideas. That's all right, because kids in school are smart enough to make their own "choices" about what constitutes right and wrong, good and evil, moral and im- moral. They don't need religion, they can listen to their inner voices. Or to shows such as Falcon Crest. Bruce Brady's article would have put Ms. Faitchild in a kinder light had he stuck to the more basic things we are all just dying to know about Morgan-her weight, true age, dress size and make-up tips. I can believe she cares deeply about those. Mrs. Kerry Carter Alexandria, VA Copyright, /986, Austin American-Storesman. Repriartd Kith permissio~r of tJnivtrsa/ Prtss September 19 86 syndicar~.

"You should be aware," Keller wrote, "that driving Chevron and other U.S. companies out of Mgola will not appreciably harm the Angolan oil in- dustry nor affeM government revenues there. "Furthermore, this amendment could pose a potential threat to our na- tion's security by restricting the De- tribe against the Mgolan resistance and what it called the `radical right in the U.S.' which has the temerity to find virtue in (the) straggle for Mgolaa in- dependence," Courter wrote. He went oa to point out that the American general manager of Chev- ron's Cabinda Calf Oil corporation, Will Lewis, has been quoted as criticizing the Reagan ~dmmistration's support for Jonas Savimibi, leader of the resist- ance group UNITA, the national union for We total Independence of Mgola. "Permit me to inquire whether your office has remembered to give Mr. Will Lewis the same guideline you have described to me concerning Chevron's strict neutrality oa political matters;' the letter said.

'te Government of South Africa and "nonviolent South African groups representing blacks." In a letter to the President this week, the lawmakers suggested i specifically that the South African ~ Parliament be expanded from three ( to five chambers, with one of the two new bodies elected by blacks. The ex- i fisting three chambers are elected by j whites, people of mixed race and Jn- dians. The second new house would be a Senate, with equal representation for each province attd homeland in the country, to be elected by their residents. Legislation could be passed by three of the five houses. i "we are not recommending that the United States dictate a constittt- i tion to South Africa," the letter said. i "Rather we urge you to propose some j constitutional plan in order to begin the process of negotiations, making it unmistakably clear that what we seek ' is any reasonable Corm of democratic ~ black power-sharing." ' "There is no reason to insist on the ' n stantly, which tew on a y side of the debate think is realistic in the current context and should be ?allowed to evolve once black power-sharing has come about." The appeal was initiated by a e- 'v ~ u[ New ersey an signe y epresentatives Dick Armey of Texas, William F.

From the Democratic point of view, the bad news is that Re- publican political committees raised 5.3 times as much money us their Democratic equivalents (S18G.1 million to 535.1 million) from January of 1985 through last Junc. Tltc good news is that the disparity was better than it was in 1981-82, when, accord- fn Sion, the Republicans raiscxl G.S times as much as ttte Democrats (5161.2 million to 524.8 million).
