Draft of Weekly Report Contributions
Liaison Division
30 November 1984
Senate
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D., VT) was briefed on Wednesday,
28 November on the IG Report, at his request, by D/IG STAT
Sen. Leahy asked numerous probing questions about the STAT
report and the reaction of officers who were reprimanded. He
also expressed, almost as an afterthought, an interest in the
possibility of there being another IG Re ort on Central America
predating this one Sen. Leahy indicated STAT
that he still has not made up his mind as to whether he will
attempt to become Vice Chairman of SSCI but Hill comment
supports the merits of his succeeding the recently defeated
Sen. Walter D. Huddleston (D., KY) as Ranking Minority Member
of the Agriculture Committee instead.
Sen. Dave Durenberger's (IR., MN) public comment (Washington
Post, 30 Nov) about his imminent selection as Chairman of the
SSCI is widely characterized on the Hill as "premature and
injudicious." The Quayle Committee recommendation for changing
SSCI membership from eight to ten years makes it even more
likely that Sen. John H. Chafee (R., RI) will become Chairman
instead of Durenberger. It is understood that Sen. Chafee is
"chafed" by the Durenberger announcement and we should learn
shortly via press or Hill rumor as to his intentions. SSCI
staffers expect a Senate leadership decision on the the SSCI
Chairmanship by 7 December.
House
On 29 November Rep. Douglas K. Bereuter (R., NE) was
briefed by DI analysts on Central America prior to his
appearance on CBS Morning News on 4 December.
On 30 November we learned that ABC has taped a total of
nine hours of interviews with former FDN leader Edgar
Chamorro. Chamorro reportedly alledged in considerable detail
that his CIA contacts briefed him on how to lobby and
manipulate Congress, likewise confiding the Agency's real
purpose of overthrowing the Sandinista government. Speculation
has it that the tapes will be made public by ABC sometime
following the Director's meeting with the HPSCI Committee on 4
December, at which time other leaks are also not unlikely.
