What U.S.
didn't know
is a concern
By Doyle McManus
Los Au9e4e, rimes Servsu
WASHINGTON - The.-discovery of
huge arms caches and Soviet-bloc
advisers- on Grenada, coupled with
unexpectedly strong resistance.: by
Cuban and Grenadian fighters, ,has
given Reagan..administration offi-
cials a sobering lesson in the -limits
of U.S. intelligence operations.
The disclosures about the extent of
operations on Grenada by. Commu-.
nist-bloc personnel have provided
the administration with additional
justifications for its intervention.
But it has also raised ;questions
about the adequacy of U.S. intelli-
gence efforts on a strategically locat-
ed island that has long been idei)',ti-
fied as a potential security problem
for this country - especially be-
cause large numbers of Americans
lived on Grenada.
CIA explanation -
The Senate Select Committee oa
Intelligence, in a closed session Ff-
day, asked CIA Director William J.
Casey to explain the CIA's perfor-
mance before the invasion. A com-
mittee source said Casey
.acknowledged that intelligence had
been deficient. He also told the sena-
tors that "meaningful. intelligenoe
was extremely difficult to come by;"
according to Sen. David Durenber-
ger CR., Minn.).
. -Administration :officials said that
commanders of the U.S. invasion
force had estimated that they would
face about 600 Cubans and 1,200
Grenadian troops; they found them-
selves fighting as many as 1,100 Cu-
bans, with heavier weapons and
better.-training.. than: ad,.been
expected.
"From my standpoint, I didn't have
enough intelligence," Adm. Wesley
McDonald said. "Resistance was
much greater than expected due to
Cuban military, involvement.
"We didn't anticipate Cuban fight-
ing units," Gen. John W. Vessey Jr.,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said earlier.
As one result, McDonald, com-
mander-in-chief of U.S. Atlantic n--
val forces, increased the original U.s.
fighting force of 1,900 to about 3,000
troops by. Thursday and 6,000 on
No useful intelligence
"From my standpoint, I didn't have
enough intelligence, but I don 'l
think there was a failure there," he
told a Pentagon news conference. V!
think you have to look at the tolal
perspective of what we were trying
to gather. To concentrate intelli-
gence for an assault on an island
such as Grenada is something we are
not -geared -to do under normal
circumstances."
."We were looking at Grenada in
the broad aspect of what was .going
on, but on the details fora planned

said. I,think we just didn't.have the
t+n,e to concentrate on it."
Administration officials said the
problem- was not -a failure -of -intelli
t genoe-t but, instead,. a =situation in
which the .United States had few op-
portumities to gather-. -.tsef.ul
intelligence: , _ -
-tThe United States ? had m perma-
,nent,-Tepresentatives in...=Grenada,-
and "The leftist regime permitted few
-visits byLl S. diplomats, officials said.'
'The CIA had no spy network on the,
island and as as result. they said, the
United States had general . informa-
tion on political and military devel-
opments in Grenada, but little.
specific tactical information.
Under questioning about a possible
intelligence "failure," White House
spokesman Larry Speakes said Thurs-
day, "When you don't have any intel
ligence -resources there at all,
something can't fail that isn't there."
The United States did have satellite
photographs of the 10,000-foot air-
strip the Cubans were building oft
the island, but US intelligence offi-
cials apparently failed to detect the
buildup of Cuban troops or the num-
ber of weapons they were bringing
ashore.
Casey reportedly acknowledged
that the military planners' informa-
tion had been deficient, but noted
that "intelligence is not an exact
jscience?
".Durenberger said much of the in-
formation the United States was us-
ing apparently came from Eastern
Caribbean countries that joined the
invasion.
McDonald also defended the intel-
ligence effort.

Feelings of Hurt and Betrayai\
Kirkpatrick suspects she was done in by her friends
W W hen U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirk-
patrick, who had been accompany-
ing the Kissinger Commission in Central
America, flew to Washington for a speak-
ing engagement two weeks ago, she had
no indication that a major staff change
was about to take place. National Security
Adviser William Clark said nothing about
it when they met at the White House, and
it was only because she had a bad bron-
chial infection that she canceled her. re-
turn to Latin America. She did not hear
about her trusted colleague's nomination
as Interior Secretary until an aide,called
the following day.
-Thus began a process that, at least in.
the eyes of the proud and prickly' U.N.
Ambassador, TIME has learned, laid bare
the backbiting and power struggles within
the White House. Kirkpatrick was not up-
set primarily by her failure to be tapped for
the National Security'Council (NSC) Post.
But she now views what happened to her
as a shabby betrayal by people she consid-
ered friends within the Administration.
Whether or not the slights she perceives
were in fact intended, her experience pro-
vides a glimpse of the personal rivalries
that have long undermined Ronald Rea-
gan's policymaking apparatus and of the
human toll such struggles exact.
When Clark finally called her to tell
of his move, Kirkpatrick urged him to re-
consider. She feared there would be no
one left in the Administration with clout
enough to pull together American policy
around the globe. Secretary of State
George Shultz, she felt, was too absorbed
in international economic policy, East-
West issues and crisis management in the
Middle East to develop strategy else-
where. Until now, she and her hard-line
allies, Defense Secretary Caspar Wein-
berger and CIA Director William Casey,
had been able to fill the gap, but only be-
cause Clark listened to them-and Rea-
gan listened to him.
Although he later let it be known that
he had sought the Interior job, Clark told
Kirkpatrick that he was simply doing
what the President asked. Be assured her
that there would be no ill effects on policy
if she were to succeed him at the NSC. It
was an idea sewn. e by Casey, when he
called the same evening.
Kirkpatrick had not at that point har-
bored any real hope of taking over at the
NSC. A few months before, noticing
that Clark seemed overburdened,. she had
offered to give up her U.N. post and come
to Washington as his deputy. He had
turned the suggestion aside, adding that
she might become National Security Ad-
viser if he ever quit. Just before she left for
Central America, Clark confided that he
was tired of the disagreements with
Shultz. The NSC job was taxing his health,
and he wanted her to succeed him. But
she filed these conversations away as idle
sneculatinns
Senior White House aides say that
Clark in reality never thought Kirkpat-
rick was the most suitable replacement.
All along, Clark's deputy Robert McFar-
lane was considered by most of Reagan's
advisers, and even by Reagan, as the obvi-
ous choice. But as in-other foreign policy
personnel disputes' during the pasty three
years,'Reagan allowed the uncertainty to
linger and leak. What should have been a
clean change of command became anoth-
er running story -similar to the one-that
accompanied the departure of Secretary
.
of State Alexander Haig-of struggles be-
tween Administration pragmatists and
ideologues. The recriminations from the
dispute are still reverberating. "Those
who fought McFarlane," says one con-
summate White House infighter, "did not
help themselves."
As the President delayed announcing
his choice, the maneuvering among his
aides quickened. Kirkpatrick was too ill
to attend a White House foreign policy
meeting, and Clark phoned her afterward
to reveal that a new succession plan had
been discussed. Chief of Staff James Bak-
er and Presidential Assistant Michael
Deaver seized the opportunity to propose
a radical plan that would have made them
the undisputed joint czars"of the White
House staff: Baker would take the NSC job
and Deaver would become chief of staff.
Clark immediately opposed the move, ar-
guing-that the President's motives would
be suspect since Baker was his top politi-
cal adviser and had no foreign policy ex-
perience. Weinberger and Casey strongly
agreed. Moreover. Reagan's more conser-
vative supporters considered Baker the
leader of the pragmatists, and hence
evil incarnate.
The strongest opposition to Kirkpat-
rick came from Shultz. He implied to a
few associates that he would resign if she
got the NSC post, and that word was
rV D_
d4`
passed to the White House. But the ques-
tion in the minds of the White House staff
soon became not whether Kirkpatrick
would get the job, but how to assuage her
disappointment about her loss to McFs./-
lane and the decline of her influence now
that Clark was gone.
Kirkpatrick had expressed her frus-
trations with the U.N. and the need to
commute to New York City from her
home near Washington. But in seeking to
let her down gently about not getting the
NsC job, White House aides gave her the
impression that they wanted to oust her
from the U.N. post. When Clark called to
say that McFarlane would be appointed,
he told Kirkpatrick that she had three al-
ternatives: becoming the Deputy Nation-
al Security Adviser, taking over the Agen-
cy for International Development, or
coming into the White House as a Presi-
dential Counsellor, atitle now held only
by Edwin Meese. She quickly rejected
these options, feeling that without a base
of power she would be easily bypassed by
Shultz and McFarlane.
Meese was also uncomfortable with
the idea of bringing Kirkpatrick in as a
Counsellor, feeling that the new post
would dilute his own power and title. So
too were McFarlane and Shultz. But oth-
ers tried to persuade her to take a job in
Washington. Casey called and asked if he
could come by for a drink. Pulling herself
from her sickbed, k atrick drove to
pharmacy for a cold remedy and then re-
ceive the CIA director at her Bethesda,
home. He urged her to take the
Counsellor's-job. Weinberger talked to
her on the phone for an hour the next
morning trying to persuade her to become
McFarlane's deputy. She told them both
no. As a close friend later put it, "What
would she do at national security brief-
ings? Chime in and correct McFarlane?"
Kirkpatrick was invited to meet with
the President on Monday before his an-
nouncement of McFarlane's appointment.
Clark, apparently wishing to keep the en-
counter secret, suggested that she use the
diplomatic entrance, where the press was

not allowed. She refused, saying that she
would enter the White House publicly as
she always had. In contrast to the chilly
dealings she had been having with most of
his staff. the hourlong meeting with Rea-
gan was friendly. He offered her the Coun-
sellor's title-or another Washington job,
and again she refused. But he seemed gen-
uinely eager to have her stay on at the
U.N. if she wanted.,She promised him that
she would wait until the end of the year to
reassess her position.
What most upset Kirkpatrick, upon
her return to her official residence in the
Waldorf Towers in New York, was the im-
plication of White House aides that she'
would be leaving the U.N. Although many
no doubt thought they were accommodat-
ing her own expressed wishes, the feisty
Kirkpatrick viewed their urgings that she
"move" to Washington as an attempt to
remove her from her job. "Why `move' to
Washington?". a friend quotes her as -say-
ing. "Don't they know I live'there?"
S he was particularly upset by a story in
the Washington Times by Reporter
Jeremiah O'Leary, a former aide to Clark,
that said Baker might take over her U.N.
post. (If the story was indeed intentionally
planted, it seemed aimed at undermining
both Baker and Kirkpatrick, since such a
scenario would require that she be fired
and he be moved from the White House.)
Baker termed the story "baloney" and
Clark called to deny it. but Kirkpatrick
now fears that she is being humiliated
through the press like others who have
been unceremoniously dumped from pow-
er. Her speculations about the motives of
those spreading such stories have become
quite byzantine: perhaps they want to ma-
neuver Jim Baker out of the White House,
or to signal a shift to a more moderate for-
eign policy prior to an election year. There
was no evidence that there was in fact any
serious desire in the White House to ease
her out of her job, by week's end senior
aides had concluded that her determina-
tion to stay at the U.N. was best for all
concerned.

Feeling harassed and still popping cold
pills, Kirkpatrick last week lamented that
her sense of propriety had been violated-
not only by her detractors but also by those
she once thought were friends. She feels
that she has been too "trusting," and con-
fides to intimates that she now knows bow
Alexander Haig, once her archenemy,
must have felt when he was forced out. To
her mind, the only person above suspicion
is the President, whom she considers a de-
cent man, largely unaware ofhis staff's ma-
nipulative ways. Yet when an aide last
week told her that the President's press
conference was on television, she turned
away, as if not wanting to be reminded of
the 'pain he had unwittingly caused. She
said she never watches television, and
asked the aide to tell her if anything impor-
tant came up. -By Walterlsaecson.

CIA Head Urges Strategy To Fight
Soviet
Influ
ence In Third World
By Girard C. Steichen
Of the Post-Dispatch Staft
FULTON. Mo. - The United.States
must develop a realistic cmunter-
strategy to stop growing Soviet
influence in the Third world and at the
same time help developing nations
establish stable economies and
democracies.
That was the message that the
director of the central Intelligence
Agency, William J. Casey, delivered
Saturday in an address at Westminster
College here.
"It is past time for the American
government - executive branch and
Congress - to take the Soviet
challenge in the Third World seriously
and to develop a broad, integrated
strategy for countering it," Casey said
in his lecture.
Casey was invited to the college to
deliver the 40th John Findley Green
Foundation Lecture, made famous by
Winston Churchill's 1946 "Iron
Curtain" lecture.
Casey called Soviet involvement in
Third World countries creeping
imperialism. He said the Soviet Union
or its proxies were promoting violence'
and revolution in El Salvador,;
Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica.
Casey also cited another example:
"The early reports from Grenada
indicate that in addition to Cubans and
Soviets, there are Bulgarians, East
Germans, North Koreans and other
Communist bloc nations there.
Working from the Soviet embassy,
they were working to establish a
permanent military base in the
eastern Caribbean."
Referring to Churchill's warning of
Soviet expansion in 1946, Casey said:
"How much more alarmed would {
Churchill be if he looked around the
world today and saw how the Soviets
have grown in strength and how far
they have exter-ded=-their power and
influence beyond the Iran Curtain he
so aptly labeled."
He said the Middle East and
Central- America are areas most
heavily targeted by the Soviet Union.
"Soviet power is already solidly
established in Cuba and Nicaragua,"
Casey said.
The' Soviet Union also , has
attempted to consolidate its influence i
in Afghanistan, Africa and Asia,
threatening the West's vital oil
eroding American
security- closer to home, he said.
To counter growing Soviet influence
in the : Third World, Casey said, the,
United States must raise and -sustain!
the importance of developing nations
in foreign policy planning.
Tbe: 'United States, must advise
developing nations firmly but-tactfully
about the need for standards of human
rights and government honesty, Casey
said.::
"'We have to be willing to talk
straight: to those we would help about
issues, they must address to block
fore, exploitation of their problems
- -issues such as land reform,
cortuption and the like," -- :.? .
He urged changes in laws governing
foreign -military sales to permit the
United States to provide arms to allies
morequickly while continuing to give
economic assistance.
..American influence in central
America will -be damaged if the West
is unable, to sensitively and
constructively assist the people of
Central. America and Mexico in
defending 'themselves as well as
solving _ their social and economic
problems on their own terms," Casey
said.
He said the United States could play
a vital role in helping Third World
nations develop better'
communications, mobility and more
effective police and intelligence
capabilities.
Private businesses also can play an
important role, he said.
i `? Investment. is the key to economic
success or at least survival in the
Third World and we, our NATO allies
and Japan need to develop a common
strategy to promote investment in the
Third World," Casey said....
He, said that, although the Soviet
Union. is the largest exporter of arms
in the world, it cannot deliver
sustained economic support.
"The Soviet Union is crippled. It is
crippled in having only a military
dimension. The Soviets are helpless to
compete with private capital in these
countries," Casey said.
He said only an integrated,
multidimensional foreign policy will
succeed in dealing with Third World
nations and stop Soviet expansion
there.
"Without a sustained, constant
Policy over a number of years, we
i cannot counter the relentless pressure
of the USSR in the Third World. The
less developed nations of the world
will be the principal U.S.-Soviet
battleground for many years to
come," Casey said.
About 30 protesters from Columbia,
Mo., picketed the lecture on a sidewalk
near Champ Auditorium. Theycarr;ed
placards denouncing U.S. involvement
in Grenada, Nicaragua and ether:

U.S. must stop S~viet ambitions
By Ed Ante
Missourian staff writer
The third world will continue to be
the "principal U.S.-Soviet battle-
ground for many years to come,''
CIA director William, Casey said Sat-
urday, and the United States needs
to recognize the pressure that the So-
viet Union is exerting there and
needs to decide how to stop it.
Casey sounded like Winston Chur-
chill - freely' quoting from Chur-
chill's 1946 "iron Curtain" lecture -

Casey said Churchill would be
"much more alarmed if he looked
around the world today and saw how
far the Soviets ... have extended
t1he:r power and influence beyond the
iron Curtain he so aptly labeled."
During the 1970's, Casey said, the
Soviets began their offensive "on a
new front -- the Third World,"
where they have effectively used
proxy nations to advance their inter-
ests.
"Yet the Soviet Union is crippled,"
he said.
Because the Soviets have "only a
military dimension," Casey said,
they must rely solely on the subver-
sion of governments to gain influ-
ence in Third World countries.
"But in the long run, it is econom-
ic, financial, scientific, technical and
cultural relationships which attract,
deliver benefits, and maintain close
relationships with less developed
countries." Casey said. "The Soviet
Union can not compete in these
areas."
The United States must capitalize
on the fact that the Soviet Union can
not compete with investments made
by private businesses, "our greatest
asset in the Third World," the direc-
tor said.
Casey also looked to Churchill to
justify recent actions of the United
States.
If Churchill were alive today, Ca-
sey said, he would be relieved to
know that the United States was
countering the attempts of the Soviet
Union to influence Grenada and Leb-
anon.
Some do not agree.
Marc Wutschke, a member of the
Committee Against Intervention, a
Columbia group which demon-
strated in Fulton Saturday against
U.S. activities in Central America,
said earlier this week that the inva-
sion of Grenada may be President
Reagan's way of testing the waters
to see if he can invade Nicaragua.
Other protesters included at least
four professors from Westminster.
Before the lecture, the faculty had
voted to request Casey's invitation to
the Green Lecture be withdrawn be-
cause they say Casey has operated
on the margins of the law numerous
times as a private businessman.
Three-fourths of the Westminster
faculty did not attend the lecture,
said John Langton, political science
professor.

rges concern
?
for. Tnwird
By RONALD J. OSTROW
Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON --- CIA Director
William J. Casey urged the United
States Saturday to develop "a real-
istic counterstrategy" to combat
Soviet disruption in the Middle East
and Central America, which he said;
is vulnerable because it relies too
heavily on military aid.
"The priority of less-developed
countries in our overall foreign pol-
icy needs to be raised and sus-
tained," Casey said in delivering a
lecture at Westminster College in
Fulton, Mo., the same platform
where Winston Churchill warned in
1946 that an "Iron Curtain" had
descended on Eastern Europe.
"We have too often neglected our
friends and neutrals in Africa, the
Middle East, Latin America and
Asia until they became a problem
or were threatened by develop-
ments hostile to our interests,"
Casey said in accepting an honor-
ary doctor of laws degree from the
college.
In addition to paving greater heed
to Third World countries, Casey
said, the United States should train
its allies "in counterinsurgency tac-
tics and upgrade their connmupica-
tions, mobility, police and
intelligence capabilities."
He called for relaxing bars on
U.S. foreign military sales laws so
that "our friends" can be provided
arms for self-defense more
quickly.
Casey said that the United States
should "demand firmly but tact-
fully and privately that our friends
observe certain standards of behav-
ior with regard to basic human
rights." American principles and
domestic political support require
such an approach, he said.
Talking directly to Third World
countries about land reform and
anti-corruption steps is required to
block foreign exploitation of such
problems, Casey said.
"We need to show how the Soviets
have exploited such vulnerabilities
elsewhere to make clear that we
aren't preaching out of cultural
arrogance," he said.
The CIA director said that the
United States should devise a
means of mobilizing private busi-
ness, which he described as
America's greatest asset in the
Third World.
"Investment is the key to eco-
,nomic success or at least survival
in the Third World and we, our
NATO allies and Japan need to
develop a common strategy to pro-
Imote private investment" there, he
'said. "The Soviets are helpless to
compete with private capital in
these countries."
Casey said that the Soviet Union
recognizes that power rests with
the military in most Third World
countries and has thus sought either
to win over the officers' corps in
those countries or to help replace
them with military men more likely
to do the Soviets' bidding.
Casey contended that the Soviet
Union "is crippled" by having only
a military dimension in its relations
with the Third World. While mili-
tary support can establish a rela-
tionship between a superpower and
a small country, Casey said, eco-
nomic, scientific, technical and cul-
tural exchanges maintain
relationships.
Because the Soviets cannot com-
pete in those areas, according to
Casey, they "rely on subversion and
,disruption of stable political and
economic relationships to weaken
Western relationships...."

'Hottest' Cold Warrior assails
By PAUL ROBEYMS
of the Tribune's staff
Fi'UI.I'ON -- Director of Central Intelligence Wil-
liam Casey yesterday decried Soviet attempts to ex-
ploit and overthrow shaky governments but support-
ed his own govenunent's use of fonce in the Caribbe-
an and Central America.
Casey delivered the 40th John Findley Green Lec-
ture to an audience of about 2,000 at Wes= nster
College. Former Congresswoman Clare Booth Luce
introduced him as the "hottest of Cold War war-
riors."
The college announced weeks ago that Casey
would discuss the role intelligence gathering plays in
national security. Instead, he focused on "creeping
Soviet imperialism."
Casey said the late Winston Churchill. who deliv-
ered his "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946 at Westmin..
ster, would be alarmed today to see Soviet domin a-
Lion threatening "'the Caribbean and Central Ameri..
en on the very doorstep of the United States."
Through the "Cubanization of Central America,
Casey continued, "the Soviets can calculate that a
greatly increased! military threat on our southern
flank-,and the internal disruption that would result
if millions of ]Latin Americans walked north-would
distract the United States" from military commit-
ments elsewhere in the world.
Casey attacked the Soviets for truing to "destabi-
lize and subvert other countries by f ostering internal
insurgency."
He did not address, however. Central Intelligence
Agency funding and training of Central American
guerrillas oppecl to the Sandinista regime in Ni-
caragua.
Rather, he ,said, "We must foster the infrastruc-
`'i s
tare of democracy, the system of a free press,
unions, political partieL., universities w;ruich allow a
people...to reconcile v,s own dL'ferr'n-al Ameri-

35 march to protest CIA director's visit
By JOEL BLEIFUSS
Staff writer
About 35 people demonstrated against
CIA Dirbctor William Casr "';'visit. Satur-
day. The protest was peaceful, which suited
Bill Reifsteck of the Fulton Police Depart-
is nt~ and Westminster Director of Develop-
ment Jack Marshall just fine. = -
As the demonstrators marched a circle
between the sidewalk markers that defined
the area of protest adjacent to Champ Audi-
torium. where Casey was to speak, Reif-
steck poured out words of assurance to Mar-
shall.
"We've got a bull horn and if they get on
the grass we will give them adequate time to
get off. There will be no problems. We're not
going to harrass them in any way," Reif-
steck said.
"We hope its going to be a very peaceful
demonstration. They have a right to demon-
strate as well as anyone has a right to give a
speech." he added. Some of the demonstra-
tors' children did make it on to the grass,
however, but were allowed to stay.
The pickets circled and chanted, "Hey,
Hey Uncle Sam, We remember Vietnam,"
"Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Ronald Reagan has got to
go." and "US troops out of Grenada." Ac-
companying the voices were signs that read
"Honorary Degrees only for Honorary Peo-
ple," "We know who invited Casey here, but
who invited the CIA there?," "USSR out of
Afghanistan. US out of Grenada," and
"Revolution wasn't a dirty word when we
had ours."
At one point, a spectator, a Westminster
student dressed in clean battle fatigues,
could no longer contain himself. -That's
right! Give it to the Cubans. Smart. Real
good."
Sharon Stinson, visiting her son Scott at
Westminster's Parents' Day, noted, "I think,
the man has a right to come and speak and
they have a right to protest?I don't neces-
sarily--agree-with their protests though."
John Fuquay's father, who declined to
give his name, said, "What I think you
wouldn't print. Your editor wouldn't let'
you."
"I think it brings attention to our school.
It's good for it," said Jim Hill. "I like it that
people have the guts to speak out."
John Scribner added, "I think it is good to
have controversial peo ple."
Coming back from tie gym. Don Bartell
and Randy Clark were also pleased to see
the demonstrators. "I think it is great," said
Barthell. "They should be protesting. I don't
think he should even be speaking," said
Clark.
The Casey demonstrators said were mo-
tivated by different concerns.
Jay Magner said, "I'd like to see the
Caseys and Reagans stop intervening mili-
tarily in other nations of the world. I would
have hoped they would have learned that
lesson in Vietnam.. I learned as a Vietnam
veteran that we can't go around and change
the political destiny of the world."
Kathy Bakich. a law student at the Uni-
versity of Missouri, speculated on the Rea-
gan administration's reasons for military
involvement in Grenada, Central America
and Lebanon. "It's a ploy or tactic to divert
public attention away from the economic
and domestic policies that are affecting peo-
ples' ability to live and work. It is also a di-
version from the changes in national policy
Reagan has made in areas like the environ-
ment that are permanently damaging our
society."
Carolyn Britell brought her children to the
demonstration. "I'd like to see them
brought up in a country where it their gov-
ernment says they ,re a democracy, they
act like one. I'm trying to teach my children
not to be hypocritical. The U.S. says we're
for freedom, but we don't want other
countrys to freely determine their own
fates," she said..
Protest organizer teve McIntire said, "I
hope Mr. Casey can someday realize that
when thousands of people die in Central
America it is not a conflict to be fought out
between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. The question
for the people of Central America is not
which superpower o ally with, but where
their next meal will come from.
"I want to make sure you know there are
no Westminster students in the demonstra-
tion." one local student told reporters.
The demonstrator, were. however, joined
by four Westmins'er faculty members.
"There's my pohtirai science professor,"
said one student, wi o noticed Peter Leo.
English department's David Collins said,
"It's been a long tine since I felt it was nec-
essar-ly to join a demonstration. not since the
end of the Vietnam Nar was over. But I felt
it was worthwhile to make a statement
today not just abona William Casey's ap-
pearance on camp.is. but also about the
grow trig commitment of U.S. troops in the
Middle Eaast and C' ntral America and now
in the Caribbean."
After stepping off, ht, line, Professor Hank
Ottinger said, "I'm i oing home."
'?11 e've got important things to do this af-
ternoon," added Ti rr,' Mitze of West.min-
ster` English deprtrrtent, who also left
early
Westminster Chat lam Bill Young. also de-
cided to miss the spy eeh. "For the faculty. it
has never been a ree speech issue. The
question is do we t,nor a man like Casey

FULTON, Mo. (AP) - The United States

Much of that strategy, - Casey said,
involves use of surrogate forces from
Cuba, East Germany, Libya and Vietnam
in roles from combat soldier and terrorist
to teacher and administrator. And the
Soviets have become the world's leading
supplier of arms, he said.

Intelligence Agency director William.
Casey said Saturday.
"It is past time for the American
government. - executive branch and
Congress - to take the Soviet challenge in
the third world seriously and to develop a
broad, integrated strategy for countering
it," Casey said In remarks prepared for a
speech at Westminster College. .
Casey said the United States must raise
the priority of developing nations in its

tactfully" about the need for standards of
human rights and government honesty and '

that they are essential to hold back Soveef:
influence and allow citizens to freel3t' i

Casey said the United States must begin
to pay greater attention to the problems of.
third world nations, which buy 40 percent
of U.S. exports, "before our attention is
commanded by coups, insurgencies or
instability."
"We have to be willing to talk straight to
those we would help about issues they must
address to block foreign exploitation of
their problems - issues such as land
reform, corruption and the like."
And, he said, the United States needs to
compete with the Soviets in furnishing

"We must find a way'to mobilize

Third World - private business," he
said.
Since the mid-1970s, the Soviets
have launched a new strategy aimed
at developing countries, Casey said.
"And their strategy has worked."
Using forces from Cuba, East Ger- I
many, Libya and Vietnam in roles
from soldier and terrorist to. teacher'
and administrator, the Soviets have
become the world's leading supplier'
of arms, Casey said.
"Yet, the Soviet Union is crippled.
It is crippled in having only a mili-
tary dimension. It has not been able
to deliver economic, political or cul-
tural benefits at home or abroad,"
he said.
Moreover, Russia can not compete
in economic, financial, scientific,
technical and cultural exchanges,
which attract and maintain close re-
lationships with Third World coun-
tries, Casey charged.
"We need to be ready to help our
friends defend themselves. We can
train them in counterinsurgency tac-
tics and upgrade their communica-
tions, mobility, police and intelli-
gence capabilities," he said.
By loosening foreign military
sales laws to permit more rapid
shipments overseas, and keeping
large supplies of basic weapons on
hand, the United States could better
compete with the Soviets, Casey con-
tended.
"We have to be willing to talk
straight to those we would help
about issues they need to address to
block foreign exploitation of their
problems - issues such as land re-
form, corruption and the like," he
said.
Casey, like previous John Findley
Green lecturers, alluded often to
Churchill and the problems he faced
alerting the world to the Soviet ex-
pansionism. "How much more
alarmed would Churchill be if he
looked around the world today and.,
saw how the Soviets have grown in
strength, and how far they have ex-
tended their power and.. influence .
beyond the iron Curtain he so aptly
labeled," Casey said.
The United States must pay more
attention to the problems of Third
World nations, which buy 40 percent
of U.S.' exports, "before our atten-
tion is commanded by coups, insur-
gencies or instability. The priority of
less-developed countries in our
overall foreign. Policy needs to be
raised and sustained," Casey said.
"The chief threat posed by the.So-
viet Union, therefore, is not neces-
sarily in the vastness of its military
forces -.though vast they are - but
in the relentlessness of their:assault
on our values and on our freedom,"
Casey concluded.
Clare Boothe Luce, former Am-
bassador to Italy and the 37th Green
lecturer, introduced Casey before he
received an honorary doctor of laws
from the college.
"As my personal friend, Bill has
an uncanny ability to make money
easily in a variety of ways - as a
publisher, author. lawyer, business-
man and speculator," Luce said.
Casey became CIA Director in
January 1981, and was the first
director to be appointed a cabinet of-
ficer by the president.
The John Findley Green Founda-
tion was established in 1936, and pro-, vides for annual lectures designed to
promote understanding of economic
and social problems of international
concern..

Speaking at Westminster College
in Fulton, Casey said he would not
reveal any of the details behind the
recent invasion of the island of Gren-
ada by U.S. forces. However, he
said. "Grenada is a vivid illustration
of how the Soviets practice creeping
imperialism by proxy. Earlier re-
ports showed Cubans on the island.
The Soviets, North Koreans, Li-
byans, East Germans and Bulgari-
ans, all working out of the Soviet
Embassy, were establishing a mili-
tary base in the eastern Caribbe-
an.,'
Casey used the 40th John Findley
Green Lecture series at the college
to address the same issue first I
raised by Winston Churchill, who de-
livered his famous "Iron Curtain"
speech there in 1946.
"The U.S. needs a realistic
counter-strategy. . .Without a sus-
tained, constant policy applied over
a number of years, we cannot
counter the relentless pressure of
the USSR in the Third World.
"It is past time for the American
government - executive branch and
Congress - to take the Soviet chal-
lenge in the Third World seriously,
and to develop a broad, integrated
strategy for countering it. These
less-developed countries of the
world will be the principal U.S.-Sovi-

William J. Casey urged the United
States Saturday to develop "a real-
istic counterstrategy" to combat
Soviet disrup- '
tion in the Mid-
dle East and
Central Ameri-
ca, which he
said is vulnera-
ble because it
relies too heavi-
ly on military
aid.
"The priority
of less-devel-
oped countries
_
in oiu over-all Casey
foreign policy
needs to be raised and sustained,"
Casey said in delivering a lecture at
Westminster College in Fulton, Mo.,
the same platform where Winston
Churchill warned in 1946 that an
"Iron Curtain" had descended on
Eastern Europe.
"We have too often neglected our
friends and neutrals in Africa, the
Middle East, Latin America and
Asia until they became a problem or
were threatened by developments
hostile to our interests," Casey said
in accepting an honorary doctor of
laws degree from the college.
In addition to paying greater
heed to Third World countries,
Casey: said, the United States should
train its, allies "in counterinsurgen-
cy tactics and upgrade their com-
munications, mobility, police and
intelligence capabilities."
- He called for relaxing bars in
U.S. foreign military sales laws so
that "our friends" can be provided
arms for self-defense more quickly.
Casey said the United States
should "demand firmly but tactfully
and privately that our friends ob-
serve certain standards of behavior
with regard to basic human rights."
American principles and domestic
political. support require such an ap-
proach, he said.
Talking directly to Third World
countries about land reform and,
anti-corruption steps is required to
block foreign exploitation of such
problems, Casey said.
"We need to show how the Sovi-_
ets have exploited such vulnerabili-
ties elsewhere to make clear that
we aren't preaching out of cultural
arrogance," he said.
The CIA director said the United
-States should devise a means of mo-
bilizing private business, which he
described as America's greatest
asset in the Third World.
"Investment is the key to eco-
nomic success or at least survival in
the Third World and we, our NATO
allies. and Japan need to develop a
common strategy to promote pri-
vate investment" there, he said.
"The. Soviets are helpless to com-
pete with private capital in these
countries."
Casey said the Soviet Union rec-
ognizes that power rests with the
military in most Third World coun-
tries and has thus sought either to
win over the officers' corps in those
countries or to help replace them
with military men more likely to do
the Soviets' bidding.'
"Having for a'decade denounced
'the merchants of death,' the Sovi-
ets have become the world's leading
supplier of arms," Casey said.

To deal with all the threats the

that would "represent a sensible

Casey said Grenada "provides a

proxy. Early reports indicate that, in

CASEY SAYS THIRD WORLD TO BE BATTLEGROUND FOR U.S. FOR YEARS TO COME
CIA Director William Casey said the Third World will continue to be the
principle U.S. battleground for many years to come and the United States needs
to decide how to stop pressure there .from the Soviet Union.
In the 1970s, the Soviets began their offensive " on a new front - the Third
World,'' Casey told the more than 1,000 gathered Saturday at Westminster
College, where about 30 students and professors gathered to protest CIA's
involvement in Nicaragua.
The Soviets have effectively used proxies or nations acting unofficially on
their behalf, citing the actions of East Germans in Africa, Cubans in Latin
America and Vietnamese in Asia as examples, he said.
''Yet the Soviet Union is crippled,'' Casey added.
Because the Soviets have 'a-military dimension'' they must rely solely on
subversion and disruption of government to gain influence in Third World
coutries, he said.
''But in the long run, it is economic, financial, scientific, technical and
cultural relationships which attract, deliver benefits and maintain close
relationships with less developed countries, " he added. "The Soviet Union
cannot compete in these areas.''
Casey also said Winston Churchill, if he were alive, would be relieved to
know that the United States was countering attempts by the Soviet Union to
influence Grenada and Lebanon.
The CIA director looked to Churchill several times during his lecture.
' 'From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has
descended across the continent... " Casey quoted from Churchill's 1946 ''Iron
Curtain" speech. "The Communist Parties which were small... have been raised
to preminence and power far beyond their numbers and are seeking everywhere to
obtain totalitarian control.''
Churchill would be ''much more alarmed if he looked around the world today
and saw how far the Soviets... have extended their power and influence beyond
the Iron Curtain he so aptly labled,' the CIA director said.
The threat of nuclear holocaust is the object of most of our fears and the
reason for much of our strategy against the Soviet Union, said Casey, who has
been CIA director since 1981.
Casey said the U.S. has made the mistake of only becoming involved in the
Middle East, Latin American and Asia when hostile interests become a threat.
Because of 40 percent of our exports go to these areas, they should receive more
attention in our foreign policies, he said.
He said laws governing foreign military sales need to be relaxed, and the
U.t. should make military training more available to these countries.

The U.S. must capitalize on the fact that the Soviet Union cannot compete
with the U.S. in investing in private business, "our greatest asset in the
Third World,'' Casey said.
Before Casey's speech, protestors, mostly students from the University of
Missouri but also four professors from Westminster College, sail q '' No drafts;
war; U.S out of El Salvador; William Casey out of Nicaragua . " he protestors,
members of the Committee Against Intervention, said they were not protesting
Casey's speech but CIA's activity in Nicaragua.
''If Reagan can get away with the invasion (of Grenada) on the specious
claims he has made, then that might embolden him to invade Nicaragua --
something he wants to do,'' said Marc Wutschke, a member of the group.
The faculty of Westminster early this month had presented a resolution to the
college's board of trustees to-withdraw the invitation to Casey to speak.

Casey Sees a Soviet Challenge',
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (AP) -Wil-
liam J. Casey, the Director of Central
Intelligence, said today that the United
States had failed to properly confront
the challenge of the Soviet Union. in
developing countries and now must
adopt "a realistic counterstrategy."
"It is past time for the American
Government - executive branch and
Congress - to take the Soviet chal-
lenge in the third world seriously and to
develop a broad.,integrated'strategy
for countering it," Mr. Casey said in a
speech prepared for delivery at West-
minster College in Fulton, Mo. A text of
the speech was released by his Wash-
ington office.
Mr. Casey said the United States
must raise the priority of developing
nations in its foreign policy, advise
them "firmly but tactfully" about the
need for standards of human rights and
honesty in government and mobilize'
what he called "our greatest asset in
the third world - private business
It was at Westminster College in Ful-
ton that Winston Churchill delivered
his now famous speech in which he'
coined the phrase "Iron Curtain" in
reference to the Communist bloc coun-
tries of Eastern Europe, and Mr. Casey
referred to that speech today.
The Director said that since Mr.
Churchill's day, new Communist
threats have sprouted around the
world, from Vietnam to Africa to Cen-
tral America.
-Mr. Casey said that beginning in,the
mid 1970's, the Soviet Union undertook
a strategy aimed at developing coun-
tries.- "And their strategy has
worked," Mr. Casey said.
"How much more alarmed would
Churchill be if he looked around the
world today and saw how the Soviets-
have grown in strength and how far I
they have extended their power and in-'
fluence beyond the Iron Curtain he so
aptly labeled," Mr. Casey said.

surprise
CIA lapse hinted as Grenada
resistance surpasses
By Terry Atlas
Chicaco Tribune
WASHINGTON_U.S.-military planners working
on the invasion of Grenada were told by the
Central Intelligence Agency to expect about 600
Cubans on the island; mostly construction workers
building a major airstrip on the southern tip of
the island.
Instead, U.S. marines and Army Rangers going
ashore Tuesday encountered at least twice as
many Cubans, who put up much stiffer resistance
than intelligence anticipated. "They were heavily
armed and militarily trained," said a White
House spokesman on ?riday. -
The CIA's estimation od the Cuban military
build-up on the island has led to sharp questions
in Congress and elsewhere about the accuracy of
intelligence preceding the invasion. "Our military
intelligence wasn't as good as we .had hoped,''
said the House minority leader, Rep. Robert
Michel [R., I11.].
In his nationwide broadcast Thursday night,
President Reagan himself said that military plan-
ners. "had little information about conditions on
the island." He said he and others were surprised
to find what constituted a "a complete base with
weapons and communications equipment which
makes it clear a Cuban occupation of the island
had been planned."
THE APPARENT lack of detailed information
came as a surprise, because Reagan repeatedly
has pointed to the Eastern Caribbean island ana
its former Marxist prime minister, Maurice Bish-
op. as an example of the spread of Soviet and
Cuban influence and subversion in the region.
In March, Reagan showed satellite photographs
documenting construction of a 10,000-foot runway,
which he said could handle Soviet military air-
craft. and construction of military facilities.
In the days preceding the invasion, the CIA and
other intelligence agencies apparently had to
scramble to assemble what sketchy information
they had about conditions after the overthrow and
murder of Bishop by radical Marxists in the
Grenada military during the preceding weeks. It
is unclear whether the number of Cubans in-
creased in the days between the coup on Oct. 14
and the U.S. invasion Tuesday.
A gap in information is all the more surprising
because U.S. military personnel hit the island
with maps locating the homes of each American.
There were reports on Capitol Hill that CIA
agents were among the passengers on the first.
plane evacuating Americans from the island.
A WHITE HOUSE spokesman, breaking the
usual policy of silence on intelligence matters,
said Friday that "there was no [American) intel-
ligence operation on the ground in Grenada."
estimates
But the spokesman, Larry Speakes, denied that.
there was a breakdown in inteiligence-gathering,
as happened four years ago before .the Iranian
revolution. -He said that conclusion would be
"erroneous" and rejected the idea that faulty
intelligence might have prolonged the,mission and
cost American lives.
"We .:had twice as many Cubans there as we
thought were there," he said. "But it wasn't a
force of Cubans we .weren't prepared to deal with
militarily."
Adm. Wesley McDonald, overall commander of
the invasion forces-which also included about 300
soldiers from six other Caribbean nations-said
Friday, "I didn't have enough intelligence. but I
don't think there was a failure there. I just think
we didn't have the time to concentrate on it."
McDonald is also commander in chief of U.S.
forces in the Atlantic.
"WE WERE looking at Grenada in the broad
aspects of knowing what was going on," he said
during a Pentagon news briefing. But for the
invasion to evacuate American citizens, he said,
"we did not have as much intelligence as I
would like to have [had]."
CiA director William Casey met behind closed
doors Friday with members of the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence to brief them on activi-
ties in Grenada and Beirut. Asked about the
failure to estimate accurately the Cuban presence
on the island. he reportedly said that "intelligence
is not an exact science."
Afterward, several senators who attended the
meeting said they were satisfied with the CIA's
performance. The agency reportedly had pre-
pared a covert operation to overthrow the pro-
Cuban Bishop government in 1981 but dropped it
because of congressional opposition. Bishop, a
pro-Castro Marxist, was murdered Oct. 19 by the
more militant Marxists who had deposed him..:
ADMINSTRATION officials said that although
Reagan was short of definite information on
Monday, the day before the invasion, he did
receive intelligence reports that the radical new
Grenadian government might hold American
medical students on the island hostage. Reagan
has justified the invasion on grounds that he was
trying to avert. a repetition of the Iranian hostage
situation of 1979-81.
"We did have one" or two intelligence reports,
that the Cubans on the island were starting to
kick the idea around," said one official.
Speakes said Friday that officials, were sur-
prised that the American forces found not only 49
Soviets and their dependents on the island, but
also Bulgarians, East 'Germans and North
Koreans. "The presence of these came as ..a
surprise to us and a shock to the governor-
general" of Grenada, he said.

CIA DIRECTOR: U.S. MUST CONFRONT SOVIETS IN THIRD WORLD
The United States has failed to properly confront the challenge of the Soviet
Union in Third World countries and needs to develop "a realistic
counter--strategy" for the newest ideological battleground, CIA Director
William Casey said Saturday.
"It i5 past time for the American government Executive branch and Congress
to take the Soviet challenge in the Third World seriously and to develop a
broad, integrated strategy for countering it," Casey said in a speech at
Westminster College.
Casey said the United States must raise the priority of developing nations in
its.foreign policy and advise them "firmly but tactfully" about the need for
standards of human rights and government honesty.
Casey's message also reinforced the Reagan administration's rationale for
keeping troops in Lebanon and Grenada: that they are essential to hold back
Soviet influence and allow citizens to freely choose their own governments.
Grenada "provides a vivid illustration of how the Soviets practice creeping
imperialism by proxy," Casey said. "Early reports indicate that in addition to
the Cubans on the island, Soviets, North Koreans, Libyans, East Germans and
Bulgarians, mostly working out of the Soviet embassy, work together to establish
a military base in the eastern Carribbean."
Beginning in the mid--19705, the Soviets launched a new strategy aimed at
developing countries, "and their strategy has worked."
Much of that strategy, Casey said, involves use of surrogate forces from
Cuba, East Germany, Libya and Vietnam in roles from combat soldier and terrorist
to teacher and administrator. And the Soviets have become the world's leading
supplier of arms, he said.
"Yet the Soviet Union is crippled," Casey told the college audience. "It is
crippled in having only a military dimension. It has not been able to deliver
economic, political or cultural benefits at home or abroad."

GRENADA - CASEY
29 October 1983
Grenada provides a good example of the Soviet Union's attempt to promote
violence in Third World countries, CIA Director William J. Casey said tonight.
Casey said intelligence reports indicate the Soviet Union or its "proxies"
were promoting violence and revolution in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Costa Rica.
In an speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Casey called on the United
States to react to the Soviet threat.
"It is past time for the American government -- the executive branch and
Congress -- to take the Soviet challenge seriously and to develop a broad,
integrated strategy for countering it," he-said.
Addressing the same issue as.Winston Churchill in his famous "Iron Curtain"
speech in Fulton in 1946, Casey said, "How. much more alarmed would Churchill be
if he looked around the world today and saw how the Soviets have grown in
strength and how far they have extended their power and influence beyond the
Iron Curtain he so aptly labeled?"
Casey said the Soviets began in the mid-1970s a new strategy for developing
nations, "and their strategy has worked." The new tactics involved use of forces
from other nations with close ties to Moscow.
"The early reports from Grenada," he said, "indicate that in addition to
Cubans and Soviets, there are Bulgarians, East Germans, North Koreans and other
Communist-bloc nations there. Working from the Soviet Embassy, they were working
to establish a permanent military base in the eastern Caribbean."
Casey said the United States must "raise and sustain" the importance of
developing nations in foreign policy planning.
Washington must advise those nations "firmly but tactfully" about the need
for standards of human rights and governmental honesty, he said.
He also urged changes in foreign military sales laws to permit the United
States to provide arms to allies more quickly.
Casey said that although the Soviet Union was now the largest exporter of
arms in the world, it could not deliver sustained economic support.
"The Soviet Union is crippled," Casey said. "It is crippled in having only a
military dimension."

WASHINGTON
CASEY WARNS CENTRAL AMERICA ''CUBANIZATION'
Soviet backed ' 'creeping imperialism'' threatens Central America and a
Cubanization ' ' of the area would send millions more refugees toward the United
States, CIA Director William Casey said Saturday.
In a lecture at Westminister College at Fulton, Mo., where Winston Churchill
coined the phrase " Iron Curtain' 47 years ago to describe the Soviet bloc,
Casey said Churchill would be ''alarmed" to see -how Soviet power has been
extended
" He would see Soviet power ... in Vietnam, along China's southern border and
astride the sea lanes which bring Japan's oil from the Persian Gulf, in
.Afghanistan, 500 miles closer to ... the Strait of Hormuz through which comes
the oil essential to Western Europe, on the Horn of Africa overlooking the
passageway of Suez ... in southern Africa, rich in minerals, which the
industrial nations require, and in the Caribbean and Central America, on the
very doorstep of the United States," Casey said.
''Soviet power is already solidly established in Cuba and Nicaragua," Casey
said. ' 'This threatens the Panama Canal and the sea lanes of the Caribbean.
Insurgencies and revolutionary violance are unleashed to topple governments in
El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala."
The major Soviet threat in Central America, he said, "is something we might
call creeping imperialism. The kremlin uses a variety of techniques to exploit
economic, racial and religious divisions around the world, to destabilize and
subvert other countries by fostering internal insurgency. "
''A Cubanization of Central America would quickly create new refugees by the;
millions," he said. ''The Soviets can calculate that a greatly increased
military threat on our southern flank and the internal disruption that would
result if millions of Latin Americans walked north would distract the United
States from dealing with what could be more lethal threats elsewhere in the
world.''
Casey said Washington should. counter Soviet subversion by promoting U.S.
investment in the Third World and expanding abilities to provide weapons and
military training to friendly Third World nations.
He also noted the United States "must be prepared to demand firmly but
tactfully and privately that our friends observe certain standards of behavior
with regard to basic human rights."
Casey delivered the 40th John Findley Green Foundation Lecture and was
awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The Green Foundation lecture series
began in 1936 and has brought a number of world leaders, including Presidents
Ford and Truman, to Westminister.
In 1946, Churchill gave his famous ''Iron Curtain'' speech at the Missouri j
college, which Casey quoted liberally.

WASHINGTON
CIA CHIEF CALLS FOR THIRD WORLD COUNTER-STRATEGY AGAINST SOVIET
BY JIM DRINKARD
The United States has failed to properly confront the challenge of the Soviet
Union in third-world countries and now must develop "a realistic
counter-strategy" for that ideological battleground, Central Intelligence
Agency director William Casey said Saturday.
"It is past time for the American government executive branch and Congress
to take the Soviet challenge in the third world seriously and to develop a
broad, integrated strategy for countering it," Casey said in a speech released
by his Washington office.
Casey said the United States must raise the priority of developing nations in
its foreign policy, advise them "firmly but tactfully" about the need for
standards of human rights and government honesty and mobilize what he called
"our greatest asset in the third world - private business."
He used the speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., to, address the same
issue first raised" at the small college by Winston Churchill, who delivered his
famous "Iron Curtain" speech there in the same lecture series in 1946.
The CIA director said that since Churchill's day, new communist threats
have sprouted around the globe, from Vietnam to Africa to Central America.
He said that beginning in the mid 1970s, the Soviets launched a strategy
aimed at developing countries. "And their strategy has worked."
"How much more alarmed would Churchill be if he looked around the world today
and. saw how the Soviets have grown in strength and how far they have extended
their power and influence beyond the Iron Curtain he so aptly labeled," said
Casey.
Casey's message also reinforced in general terms the Reagan administration's
defense for keeping troops deployed in Lebanon and Grenada: that they are
essential to hold back Soviet influence and allow citizens to freely choose
their own governments.
Much of the present Soviet strategy, Casey said, involves use of surrogate
forces from Cuba, East Germany, Libya and Vietnam in roles from combat soldier
and terrorist to teacher and administrator. And the Soviets_ have become the
world's leading supplier of arms, he said.
"Yet the Soviet Union is crippled," Casey told the college audience. "It is
crippled in having only a military dimension. It has not been able to deliver
economic, political or cultural benefits at home or abroad."
Casey said the United States must begin to pay greater attention to the
problems of third world nations, which buy 40 percent of U.S. exports, "before

S. CO'L^`:ANDER FINDS NO EVIDENCE OF MISSILES ON GRENADA
. The commander of U.S. forces in Grenada on Friday said no missiles had been
found on the island and he was "not aware" of missile storage bunkers being
built, despite a published report that intelligence photographs of the
installation prompted the U.S. invasion.
Anne. Wesley McDonald, commander in chief of the-Atlantic fleet, said U.S.
troops had fount no evidence of missiles on the leftist-ruled island and added:
"I'm not aware of missile bunkers being installed there."
Sources also quoted CIA Director William J. Casey as telling the Senate
Intelligence Committee that there was no evidence of missile sites bEiiiq built
o rena 'a.
The Knight-Ridder news service reported Friday that intelligence photographs
provided evidence that missile storage bunkers may have been under construction
in Grenada, prompting the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff to urge an immediate
invasion.
The photos showed four concrete shelters 200 feet long and 40 feet wide, with
walls 12-to-18 inches thick, under construction about 800 feet from the new
airport runway at Point Salines, Knight-Ridder said. The story was carried in
Knight-Ridder newspapers.
The photographs were taken by a spy on Grenada who relayed them to sources
off .the island using a scanning device and a radio transmitter, according to
Knight-Ridder, which said the-information was compiled from Pentagon,
congressional and independent sources.

C.I.A.'s Role to Be Discussed
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27- William J.
Casey, Director of Central Intelli.
gence, agreed today to meet with sena-
tors Friday to discuss questions about
whether there was a Central Intelli-
gence Agency presence on Grenada
prior to Tuesday's invasion.
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
vice chairman of the intelligence com-
mittee, said he issued an invitation to
Mr. Casey to meet with senators be-
cause a C.I.A. - role on Grenada "has
been widely reported and discussed on
the Senate floor" in private conversa-
tions.
The New York Democrat added that
he was precluded by Senate rules from
discussing the substance of the reports.
He said all senators had been invited to
the briefing with Mr. Casey, which
would be held in the secure intelligence
committee room on the fourth floor of
the Capitol.
Senator Gary Hart, Democrat of
Colorado, asked if he had heard about
reports of C.I.A. involvement on the is-
land, replied, "Nothing I can talk
about:"
Another Democratic senator said he
had received information that C.I.A.
agents were among the passengers on a
planeload of 70 American medical stu.
dents flown out of Grenada Wednesday.
His information _ came indirectly
.from the Central Intelligence Agency,
the State Department and the Defense

Some Capitol Hill aides said they

Cuba was tipped off to U.S. plans to invade Grenada at lease hours before
the attack began, possibly explaining why the 1,100-man Cuban force seemed so
well prepared for the assault, U.S. intelligence sources said Friday night.
Sources, who spoke on condition they not be identified, said the warning came
from an "unintentional" leak from one of the Caribbean nations which joined the
United States in the invasion Tuesday.
The sources refused to disclose which of the six countries leaked the
information.
Although learning of the invasion plans, Cuba's President Fidel Castro did
not send reinforcements to the island, but did-dispatch an army colonel to
direct the island defense, the sources said.
U.S. Marines and Army paratroopers who landed on Grenada in the pre-dawn
hours Tuesday were surprised by the stiffer-than-expected defense mounted by the
Cubans and the Grenadian army. The possibility of a leak could help explain why
the defenders were able to prevent U.S. forces from obtaining their main
objectives on the first day.
Meanwhile, the Navy admiral who commanded the invasion force and a White
House spokesman disputed suggestions that U.S. intelligence had failed by
underestimating the number of Cubans on the island by about half.
"You can't know everything," said deputy press secretary Larry Speaker, who
added that there was no U.S. intelligence operation in Grenada. "You do your
best."
Adm. Wesley McDonald, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, said, "I
didn't have Enough intelligence, but there wasn't an intelligence failure. ;.. I
don't think the system failed. We just didn't have the time to focus On it.
Initial estimates put the number of Cubans on Grenada at 600, a figure that
was raised to "upwards of 1,000" once the U.S.-led invasion of the island got
under way early Tuesday. McDonald said the estimate was 1,100 Cubans, with more
than 300 still fighting.
President Reagan said he launched the invasion at the request of six eastern
Caribbean nations concerned about a bloody leftist coup on Grenada and the
possibility that violence would spread to them.
U.S. intelligence hastily compiled what it could about Cuban and Grenadian
military strength last week as final plans were put together for the invasion,
Reagan administration sources said, but the CIA estimate proved off the mark
when U.S. forces landed on the island.
U.S. officials, speaking publicly and privately, have expressed surprise at
the number of Cubans on the island and the determined fight mounted by Cuban andl

GRENADA/COUF RATHER: Good evening. This is the CBS Evening News, Dan Rather
reporting. The United States now,has 6,000 troops on Grenada,
triple the number that took part in the Tuesday morning
invasion. And apparently many in that American military force
will be there longer than was originally indicated. Army
Rangers of the assault force prepared to return home today; no
word on when the Marines will proceed on to Beirut, where they
were headed when the invasion plane got the go-ahead. More of
the 82nd Airborne Army-division came in today. The number of
U.S. military dead from Grenada reached 11 today officially,
with 67 wounded and seven missing. Eight of the dead arrived at
Dover Air Force Base in Delaware yesterday; word of that just
disclosed late today. Pentagon correspondent David Martin
reports now on the Defense Department's version of what is
happening on Grenada.
MARTIN: President Reagan called it mopping up, and many of
these pictures released today by the Defense Department made it
look almost easy. Marines moving through northern parts of the
island were greeted as conquering heroes. But the overall
commander of the operation reported that some fighting is still
going on. ADM. WESLEY MCDONALD (Operational Commander): Heavy
fighting occurred on the evening of 27 October, at the Calivigny
military barracks area. Air strikes and artillery were used to
help our forces secure that area. They are continuing to
receive small-arms fire.
MARTIN: With 6,000 U.S. soldiers now ashore, most of the
remaining fighting is taking place in the south. The Army
shelled the area from impiacement around Pt. Salines airfield.
Navy jets from the carrier Independence made strafing runs, and
Air Force C-130 gunships unloaded their cannons on suspected
hideouts. There is strong suspicion the military barracks at
Point Calivigny housed a terrorist training camp. That could
help explain the presence of some 30 East Germans, Bulgarians
and North Koreans inside the Soviet embassy. ALAN ROMBERG
(Pentagon Spokesman): it came as a surprise because we didn't
know they were there. Ah, it's also of some interest that they
were there and what it may say about the kind of role that they
were playing.
MARTIN: That could also help explain the large cache of arms
and ammunition found earlier at Pt. Salines. U.S. intelligence
had spotted the warehouses which held the weapons but had not
known what was inside. It is now believed the weapons were
brought in by Cuban ships under cover of darkness. MCDONALD:
The overwhelming evidence-from our ground troops is that Cubans,
not Grenadians, were in the forefront of the fighting.

WASHINGTON TIMES
28 October 1983
U.S. urged to ban goods produced in
BY A WASHINGTON TIMES STAFF WRITER
Soviet imports produced . by
forced labor should be barred from
the United States, as the law
requires, the chairman of a House
appropriations subcommittee said
yesterday.
The law banning forced-labor
goods, which has been on the books
for more than 50 years, "has not
been enforced with regard to the
Soviet Union;' said Rep. Edward R.
Roybal, . D-Calif., during, House
action on a Treasury Department
spending bill including funds for
the U.S. Customs Service.
"The enforcement of that section
of the law should, of course, be car-
ried out," Roybal stated. '
Roybal's remarks were intended
as part of the legislative history
governing congressional approval
of the Customs Service funding.
The issue was raised by Rep.
Eldon Rudd, R-Ariz., who is part of
a bipartisan coalition of anti-
communist and human rights
activists.. in L_iligress seeking
tougher sanctions -against the
Soviet Union following the Soviet
downing of a Korean jetliner carry-
ing 269 people.
The forced labor import matter
has taken an ironic twist, in light of
Pregident Reagan's tough rhetoric
in favor of retaliation against the
Soviets.
It has been learned that Secre-
tary of State George P. Shultz and
other senior administration offi-
cials.are fighting backstage to stop
an intended ban against about three
dozen specific Soviet imports that
Commissioner of Customs William
van Raab planned to invoke as soon
as it had Treasury Department
approval.
More than 5227 million worth of
Soviet metals and manufactured
goods, largely produced by forced
labor including political prisoners,
are imported here each year,
according to a State Department
Soviet Gulag
report issued last February.
Opponents of the ban within the
department have prevented Raab's
ruling from being published in the
Federal Register by sidetracking it
-to the Senior Interagency Group
for International Economic Policy,
according to administration
sources.
The group, which includes all
Reagan department heads with
jurisdiction over world economic
and intelligence matters, "is
stacked in favor of big business
interests that oppose trade sanc-
tions," one source reported.
Officials at the State and Tl-ea-
sury departments said everyone
involved in the top-level review of
Raab's intended Customs Service
action was under orders not to talk
about it.
Dennis Murphy, director of pub-
lic affairs for the Customs Service,
would only say that the ruling had
been referred to the Senior Inter-
agency Grou
"f
i
"
p
or rev
ew
because it "has such sweeping
implications."
One official said "there is no
timetable for action" on the import
ban, but denied that the review pro-
cess was a bureaucratic way to stop
the ban from being implemented.
However, another senior official
said he expected the review to
include an update of the intelli-
gence data used as.the basis for the
State Department's earlier assess-
ment that "forced labor, often
under harsh and degrading condi-
tions, is used to execute various
Soviet developmental projects and
to produce large amounts of pri-
mary and manufactured goods for
both domestic and Western export
markets. '
During yesterday's House
debate, Rudd pointed to official
documentation of widespread
Soviet forced-labor practices
,
which Sen. William L. Armstrong,
R-Colo., had printed in the Congres-
sional Record on Sept. 15.
The documentation included an
extensive CIA list of Soviet indus-
tries-and products "in which forced
labor is used extensively" The list,
compiled last May, was "based on a
variety of intelligence sources and
open u cations with informs n
from former prisoners, CIA
15irector William Casey told
Armstrong.
The list included wood products,
electronic components, glassware,
automotive parts, raw minerals and
mineral products, clothing, petro-
leum products and chemicals, food,
construction and household goods.
According to the State Depart-
ment report, the Soviets use a net-
work of some 1,100 forced-labor
camps comprising about 4 million
forced laborers throughout the
Soviet Union. The system includes
at least .10,000 political and reli-
gious prisoners, the report stated.
When Congress passed the
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, it
included a provision banning
importation of products "mined,
produced or manufactured wholly
or in part in any foreign country by
convict labor and/or forced labor."
The measure has been used to
bar certain imports from Cuba and
Mexico, but never has been invoked
against the Soviet Union, according
to government officials.

Meagan Advisers Block Staff Ploy
By Lou Cannon
Washington Post Staff writer
A group of longtime Reagan advisers last week
thwarted a power play by White House chief of staff
James A. Baker III and deputy chief of staff Michael
K. Deaver to make Baker President Reagan's national
security affairs adviser and to move Deaver into Bak-
er's job, administration officials said yesterday.
These officials said Reagan tentatively had agreed to
the plan, but discarded the idea at the urging of his
outgoing national security affairs adviser, William P.
Clark, who was backed by White House counselor
Edwin Meese III, Secretary of Defense Caspar W.
Weinberger and CIA Director William J. Casey.
The disclosure of what one official called "the Baker-
Deaver option" provided a glimpse into the tangled
power politics of the Reagan White House, where bitter
policy disputes and personal feuding have been com-
monplace.
Clark, Meese and Weinberger have been trusted
Rea=an associates since his first term as governor of
California, beginning in 1966. Casey was Reagan's cam-
paign manager in 1980.
When Clark arrived at the White House early in
1983, he and Deaver were friends and allies.
But their relationship deteriorated in recent months,
and Reagan took note of this "friction" when he grant-
ed Clark's request to be named secretary of the inte-
rior. None of these officials would comment publicly
about -the maneuvering, except for Weinberger, who
said he "played no role" in the president's decision. But.
several officials confirmed the discussion of the plan.
They said that Baker, who has been chief of staff j
throughout the administration, long has talked of ac-
quiring experience in a foreign policy post and that
Deaver, the aide closest to the Reagan family, would
like the chief of staffs post.
However, those opposed to the idea cited Baker's
lack of experience in foreign affairs, coincidentally
using the argument that Baker's allies had made
against Clark. They also questioned whether Deaver
had the background in substantive issues-for the chief,
of staff's post, where even Baker's adversaries acknowl-
edge his competence. One official said the Baker-
Deaver option arose quickly as "a target of opportuni-
ty" after Clark decided that the pressures of the na-
tional security adviser's job had become too severe and
asked Reagan to name him as the replacement for out-
going Interior Secretary James G. Watt.
'The obvious choice to replace Clark was the man
who Reagan eventually selected, Robert C. McFarlane,
who had served as deputy national security affairs ad-
viser before becoming the U.S. special envoy to the
Middle East.
When Clark resigned last Thursday, administration
:officials said that McFarlane would be named national
security adviser. But they backed off this-prediction on
~Frida saying that conservatives were mounting a cam-
paign to a e I- Ambassador, Jeane J.: Kirkpatrick
the national security adviser. The
Kirkpatrick boomlet, strongly sup-
-ported by Casey, did not make
headway because she was not ac-
ceptable to Secretary of State
George P. Shultz, officials.said. It
was at this time, on Friday, Oct.
14, that Deaver and Baker came
up with their idea.
One official said Shultz had
"signed off on the Baker option,"
which he said was offered in the
form of Baker as an alternative to
Kirkpatrick. But it was not known
if Shultz, who has complained
about White House dominance in
foreign policy decision making, was
enthusiastic about the idea.
Reporters had been advised on
Friday that the McFarlane ap-
pointment was likely to occur over
the weekend, but the maneuvering
had the effect of delaying the de-
cision. Reagan reportedly con-
sulted with all his senior advisers
and went with what one of them
called "the safe choice" of McFar-
lane.
"Baker would have driven the
conservatives, up the wall, and
Kirkpatrick would have provoked
a crisis with both the White House
staff and the secretary of state,"
said one official. "Bud [McFarlane]
is less abrasive than Jeane and
more acceptable than Baker."
Reagan met privately with Kirk-
patrick before announcing McFar-
lane's appointment last Monday
and persuaded her to stay on at
the United Nations at least
through the end of the General As-
sembly session in December.
Kirkpatrick's name was prompt-

The denials were so adamant
that they served to highlight once

schism and bureaucratic infight-

In the midst of a new debate here
over Central America, critics and de-
-fenders of Reagan administration
policy alike agree on at least one mat-
ter: Hostility among nations in the
region is growing; thus increasing the
chances of a wider war.
The critics claim that the adminis-
tration has contributed to this "po-
larization" by funding the so-called
secret, war conducted against
Nicaragua's Sandinista-led regime.
Adrninistration officials respond that
the Sandinistas themselves are re-
sponsible for provoking the hostility
,of their neighbors and increasing the
risks of widening the war.
Administration officials also ar-
gue that pressure from the US-sup-
ported opponents of the Sandinistas
has caused the Sandinistas to con-
sider moves aimed at securing peace
in the region.
. This argument over a polarization
of forces is one of the issues at the
heart of the current debate in the

Rep. Donald Albosta, D-Mich., said yesterday "new

delayed his House subcommittee's hearings into how
Carter White House materials reached Ronald Rea-

In a three-paragraph statement yesterday, Albosta
made no mention of any other specifics of the panel's
investigation.
Ina related development, federal law-enforcement
sources said the FBI is nearing an end to its parallel
investigation into who leaked or stole Carter mate-

The FBI probably will turn results of its investiga-

or early November for a decision on whether further
action is necessary, law-enforcement sources said.

gA director to speak at college
in Fulton despite faculty protests
CIA Director William J.' Casey is
scheduled to deliver the John Findley
Green Foundation
Lecture at Wes-

Fulton despite
opposition from a
majority of the
faculty and a
grandson of
Green's:
The college
board of trustees
has reaffirmed the
invitation to Case
y and
and announced
plans to present him with an honorary
degree. Casey will deliver . the 40th
annual lecture at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct.
29, in the college's Champ Auditorium.
Faculty criticism of Casey centers
on allegations - of improper financial
dealings, according to Bruce
Hackmann, the college's director of
press relations.
A spokesman -for, Casey. in'
Washington said Tuesday that the
Casey was aware of the issue and
would present the speech in Fulton.
ALL OF THE faculty allegations
against Casey were reviewed by the
U.S..Senate Inelligence Committee in
1981 and 1982 and found "absolutely
untrue," CIA spokesman Dale
Peterson said.

selections, Hackmann said.
Casey is to discuss the role
intelligence plays in the security of the
nation and the world. The college has
announced that "due to space
limitations," admission will be limited
to Westminster students, their parents
and faculty members.
Clare Boothe Luce, the 37th Green
lecturer, helped arrange the Casey
appearance, and she is expected to be
at the college for his lecture,
Hackmann said.
that several recent Green lecturers
have been conservative rather than
covering a spectrum of political
positions, Hackmann said.
St. Louis lawyer John R. Green II, a
grandson of the lecture founder, was
present at the board of trustees
meeting Oct. 10 and noted his
opposition to Casey's appearance for
the lecture.
Green, a ..1947 graduate of
Westminster, said he noted published
reports 9f-. Casey's alleged financial
dealings and told the trustees that he
believed it "inappropriate to attach
my grandfather's name to a lecture
given by this man."
GREEN SAID that despite his
opposition to Casey's speech, he would
continue to support the college in other
endeavors.
College President J. Harvey
Saunders announced that a committee
of faculty, . alumni, trustees and
students would be appointed to advise
the school on future speaker
OTHER GREEN lecturers have
included former British Prime
Ministers Winston Churchill and
Edward Heath, former Presidents
Truman and Ford, former Vice
President Hubert H. Humphrey, and
Defense Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger. -
Casey was on the staff of William J.
Donovan, founder of the Office of
Strategic Services, during World War
II. He helped coordinate French
resistance forces in support of the
Normandy invasion and liberation of
France and later was chief of
American secret intelligence
operations in Europe.
Casey has been chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission,
secretary of state for economic affairs
and president ? and chairman of the

IT HAD BEEN widely speculated that Kirkpa-
trick, a leader of the so-called neo-conservative
movement, would have stirred up disputes rather
than calmed waters as national security. adviser.
A White House official said senior administra-
tion officials, including Shultz, Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger and CIA Director William
Casey, had not advocated her candidacy for the
.post.
Asked if she had been offered a new job as

she has done "'as magnificent a job as;anyone who

than-most."
"I was.Iookin for more than experience in
filling this post, Reagan said during a White
House ceremony. "I also wanted someone of
strong principle, someone of keen judgment and
someone who could effectively manage the affairs
of the NSC [National Security Council]."
McFARLANE promised he would do his best to
smooth over differences within the Reagan for-
eign policy team, which has plagued the adminis-
tration from its first days. As a sign of continuity,
he said he will appoint as his deputy John
Poindexter, a retired Navy rear admiral who has
been on the national security staff as military
assistant since 1981. -
McFarlane also indicated his choice to replace
him as special envoy to the Middle East is
Richard Fairbanks, who has been his deputy in
Middle East diplomacy. Reagan said he would
rely heavily on McFarlane's .advice in this mat-
ter.
McFarlane is Reagan's third national security
adviser in only three years in office. Richard
Allen, the first, resigned during a controversy
over accepting gifts from Japanese businessmen,
and Clark is the nominee to replace Watt,
i Relations. between the NSC and State Depart-'
ment were strained under both. Asked if his views
will collide with Shultz's, McFarlane replied, "Of
course. not." McFarlane said the media have
exaggerated the foreign policy spats.
"I THINK the President, from his opening days
here in the White House, has expressed his
confidence in Cabinet government," McFarlane
said. "And I think more than many of you allow,
Cabinet government has been the name of the
game in national security affairs."

Mr. McFarlane, a - low profile

'Watt's successor-at the Interior De-

"Working closely with me, be will

McFarlane's background as a deco-
Tr rated Marine, scholar, adviser to
three presidents. congressional staff-
er, and counselor at the State Depart-
meat. -

stated his own commitment to the
form of cabinet government pre-
ferred in the Reagan White House.
Asked whether his appointment
would mean a shift. of foreign policy-
making back to the State Depart-
ment, be said: "If the point of your
question is - do I intend to seek to
promote a personal point of view, or
in any way to establish some confron-
tational status with the secretary of
state? - of course not."
Relations between Secretary of
State George P. Shultz and Mr. Clark,
a close friend of.-Mr. Reagan, had be-
come increasingly strained over Mr.
Clark's independent conduct of for-
eign affairs.
Mr. McFarlane -said that be did not
anticipate any problems with Mr.
Sbulm or the other main adrainistra-
tion players in national security, De-
fense Secretary Caspar W. Weinber-
ger, Cent al Intelligence Agency di-
rector William J. Casey, or U.N. Am=
bassador Jeane J. Kirkpatrick. -
Press reports have suggested that
Mr. Weinberger and Mr. Casey were
concerned that their viewpoints
might not be put as forcefully to the
president by Mr. McFarlane as they
were by Mr. Clark, a conservative
hardliner.
.Mr. McFarlane acknowledged that
he might have "disagreements" with
other top officials, but contended that
his role -would be as an "administra-
tor," not-an-advocate.- His job, be
said, would be "to see all the -options
are there," to ensure that decisions
were properly implemented, and to
oversee the national security com-
munity.
Asked if he would enjoy the same
access as Mr. Clark to Mr. Reagan, be
said: "The importance of that access
is clearly understood. The continuity
of that access was reaffirmed [by Mr.
Reagan) today- I have no reservations
about it."
Conservatives have questioned
whether Mr. McFarlane will be as in-
fluential as Mr. Clark inside the
White Rouse, and favored Mrs. Kirk-
patrick, an outspoken advocate of
tough diplomacy, for the post.
Mr. Reagan said yesterday that
Mrs. Kirkpatrick would remain at the
United Nations, where she "has done
as magnificent a job as anyone who
has ever held that post."
"As far as I know, she is happy,"
said Mr. Reagan, responding to re-
ports that the ambassador was tired
of commuting between Washington
and New York and wanted a job in
the capital.
[But the Associated Press reported
that Mrs. Kirkpatrick was making no
promisesto stay.beyond this year.
["I am committed to remaining at
the United Nations through the 38th
session of the General Assembly,"
Mrs. Kirkpatrick said in -a statement
issued by her spokesman, Joel Block-
er.
'[She had no words of congratula-
tion for Mr. McFarlane, the wire ser-
vice reported. Her statement said
"the president has the right to appoint
anyone to any position in the adminis-
tration and, as always. I support the
president's decision.")
Mr. McFarlane's appointment was
quickly endorsed by two key Senate
Republicans. Senator Charles H.
Percy (R, Ill.), chairman of the For-
eign Relations Committee, said Mr.
McFarlane was "an able and effec-
tive adviser who has the confidence
of the president."
The appointment brought prompt
criticism from the labor-backed
Council on Hemispheric Affairs, a
constant opponent of administration
policy in Central America.
It said that Mr. McFarlane's rec-
ord "hardly suggests that Latin
America can expect a modification of
current Reagan administration policy
- seeking military solutions in Cen-
tral America."

The McFarlane Choice
Reagan Decision on New Security Adviser
Is Viewed as a Setback for Conservatives
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 - The ap-
pointment of Robert C. McFarlane as
national security adviser and the likeli-
hood. Hutt Jeane J.' Kirkpatrick will
leave the United Nations
News were widely viewed today
comer-
Analysis as a major blow to conser-
vatives in the Reagan Ad-
ministration.
A key foreign policy official said that
Mr. Reagan was being seen increas-
ingly as shaping a "traditional Repub-
lican Administration," with a more
pragmatic and flexible approach on
such issues as arms control and rela-
tions with the Soviet Union.-The hard-
er-line conservatives have been less.
willing to make concessions in arms:
talks or to listen to the European allies;
on curbing trade with Moscow. The
allies have generally favored the con-
tinuation of trade relations.
Other officials said they expected
that Mrs. Kirkpatrick's departure -
White House officials said today she
was undeterred in her intention to
leave the Administration at the end of
the year - and Mr. McFarlane's in-
stallation at the White House would
lead to a less assertive approach in
Central America.
orientation of our foreign policy. "
Mrs. Kirkpatrick, an outspoken and
acerbic advocate of a hard line against
the Soviet Union, was hoping to be
named national security adviser in
place of Mr. Clark, according to sev-
eral friends. In the last several days,
conservatives in the Administration, or
allies of it, waged a lobbying campaign;
on her behalf.
In addition, both.Defense Secretary
and William J. Casey, director of Cen-
tral Intelligence, were said to fear Mr.
McFarlane's low-key approach would,
hamper him in the bureaucratic battles
sure to face him at the White House.
Mr. Reagan was said to have settled
on Mr. McFarlane only after assuring
Mr: Weinberger and Mr. Casey that the
new adviser would have all the access
and authority of Mr. Clark. The evi-
dence today was that he had yet to as-
suage conservatives who fear that the
Administrataion is less friendly to their
,revisions in its negotiating position
with Democrats in Congress this year.
Mr. McFarlane, a veteran of the
Ford and Nixon Adminstrations, is
seen in Congress and among arms con-
trol experts as a product of the process
that produced arms accords at that
time. Mr. Reagan, however, sought the
Republican presidential nomination in
1976 charging that the Ford and Nixon
arms deals had damaged American se-
curity.
'Mrs. Kirkpatrick, who is the chief
United States representative at the
United Nations, is a major proponent of
military and economic aid to stop the
spread of communism in Central
America. Her chief ally has been Wil-
liam P. Clark, who resigned today as
national security adviser after being
nominated Secretary of the Interior by
Mr. Reagan.
Skepticism Overcome
Mr. Clark had to overcome the skep-
ticism of fellow White House officials to
win agreement to have Mr. Reagan
speak out on Central America last
spring. In addition, he. angered col-
leagues at the White House and the
State Department earlier this year by
winning approval of large-scale mili.
tary exercises in Central America.

MeFarlane Adviser
O

,?
'By Lou Cannon
Washington Post8taff Writer -
President _ Reagan yesterday 1
named Robert, C: McFarlane.as is
national security affairs adviser and
persuaded Jeane J. Kirkpatrick,
whom he praised for "a magnificent
job," to remain as ambassador to the
United Nations.
Reagan appeared with McFarlane
in the White House briefing room
and announced his appointment to
replace William P. Clark, named last
week by the president to be secre-
tary of the interior.
`The president praised McFarlane
as a person of "strong,judgment" and
"keen principle," and said, "He
shares my view about the need for a
strong America, an effective, bipar-
tisan foreign policy based on peace
through strength,"
Two hours before that announce-
ment, Reagan met - privately with
Kirkpatrick, who had made no secret
that she would have liked the na-
tional security adviser's post. He
urged her to remain at the United
Nations, administration officials
said.
Kirkpatrick, who reportedly was
disappointed that she was not cho-
sen to replace Clark, later issued a
statement saying she will remain at.
the United Nations through the end
of the present session of the General
Assembly in December.
Other administration officials said
she agreed to "mull over" the pres-
ident's request that she remain at
the United Nations, and one of them
predicted that "Jeane will stay as
long as the president, wants her in
the administration."
?
S-ec-u
Reagan praised Kirkpatrick effu-
'Isivtly in his seven-minute' appear-
ance in the briefing room, saying
that she is performing "a great ser-
vice to her country" at the United
Nations. and that she is "invaluable
in what she is doing."
Conservatives outside the admin-
istration had .pushed for Kirkpa-
trick's appointment on ideological
grounds, and Secretary of Defense
Caspar W. Weinberger and CIA Di-
actor William J. Casey had ex-;
rpressed reservations that McFarlane
:would not have sufficient access or
,influence within the White .House to
,represent. their agencies' views.
McFarlane alluded to these objections in a
question-and-answer session with reporters
yesterday, after a private meeting with Rea-
gan. .
"The importance of that access [to the
president] is clearly understood," McFarlane
said. "The continuation of that access wa.~
reaffirmed today, and I have no reservations
about it'
McFarlane, 45, a former Marine lieuten-
ant colonel now serving as Clark's deputy
and U.S. special envoy to the 'Middle East,
also emphasized that he would not play fa-
vorites in counseling the president.
"My role now is not. to be.an advocate but
a coordinator," he said. "I intend to do that."
Reagan told senior advisers of his decision
over -the weekend, ignoring a lobbying cam-
paign developing for Kirkpatrick. Others in
the administration were quick to climb
aboard the McFarlane bandwagon as soon a;
Reagan 'announced the decision.
Weinberger issued a statement saying lie
is "personally delighted" by the "splendid
appointment" of McFarlane, whom he
praised for "his abilities, his effectiveness
and his skill in advancing the president's na-
tional-security and foreign policies." Wein-

Berger also criticized "press speculation"
about his own role. saying; it was "far off the
mark."
Kirkpatrick issued a more restrained
statement. saying, "I respect the right of the
president to appoint anyone he chooses" and
promising to stay on through the General
Assembly session.
McFarlane's appointment was supported
in the White House by Clark and chief of
staff James A. Baker III and also was praised
by Secretary of State George 1'. Shultz. who
spoke to reporters on his plane returning
from Canada.
"I think what we'll See is continuity."
Shultz said. "Bud McFarlane has been part
of the process for quite a while. He's excel-
lent, very good to work with, a real profess-
sional, knows the issues.- a fair-minded per-
sOn.
Shultz conceded that there have been
some problems "from time to time" in rela-
tions withClark but said he was able to dis-
cuss and solve,them, and lie predicted that
he could do the same with McFarlane.
According to aides. Shultz had a long tele-
phone conversation with Reagan about the
appointment Saturday and another this
morning while in Canada. With Clark's de-
part.ure to Interior, administration officials
are trying -to emphasize that Shultz. who is
to Spend next weekend with the president in
Augusta, Ga.. will tike the lead role in for-
eign policy.
Several officials, including McFarlane. em
phasized that Clark. a confidant Of Reagan
since 1967. will remain available for consul-
raton.
Conservatives outside the administration
were disappointed. They see Clark's appoint-
ment to Interior as no gain because he re-
placed James G. Watt, the administration's
most outspoken conservative, and McFar-
lane's appointment as a loss.
"For the first time since President Reagan
took office, the two top foreign policy jobs,
secretary of state and national security ad-
viser, will he held by someone who is not a
conservative." said Richard A.. Viguerie, a
New Right spokesman and fund-raiser.
"As a protege of Dr. Henry Kissinger, Mr.
McFarlane's views are probably very com-
patible with those of the moderates and li-
berals who run the State Department," lie
said.
In accepting the appointment. McFarlane raid he fully shares the president's national-
security goals.
"They have stemmed the bide." he said.
"And they have set us on a course which 'I
believe deeply will prove Spengler wrong.
that the West can, indeed, define its inter-
ests, defend them, demonstrate freedom, de-
mocracy, free enterprise as the hope of the
future."
The reference was to German philosopher
Oswald Spengler's pessmistic book, pub-
lished after World War I and called "The
Decline of the West."
McFarlane said Rear Adm. John Poindex-
ter, No. :3 man on the national security af-
fairs staff, will serve as his deputy. Admin-
istration officials said Richard Fairbanks.
McFarlane's deputy in the Mideast, will take
over as special envoy in the region, at.least
temporarily. .- 11 McFarlane spent the day, touching base
with various power centers inside. and out-
side of the administration. In addition to his
private meeting-with Reagan, he spoke with
Weinberger, Kirkpatrick and Casey, con-
ferred with Clark and lunched with former
secretary of state Alexander M. Haig Jr.
A graduate of the Naval Academy, McFar-
.lane is the son of William Doddridge McFar-
lane. who served as a Democratic congress-
nman from Texas from 1932 to 1938. The
younger McFarlane was a military assistant
to Kissinger when Kissinger was President
Nixon's national security affairs adviser.
Reagan. McFarlane and other administra-
?tion spokesmen took turns yesterday defend-
ing U.S. participation in the multinational
peace-keeping force in Lebanon despite the
increase in casualties among U.S. Marines
there.
When Reagan was asked by a reporter.
"Why are we in-Lebanon and why are we let-
ting our Marines be there to get killed every
day." he replied in a firm, voice:
"Because I think it, is vitally important to
the security of the United States and the
western world that. we do everything we can.,
to further the peace process in the Mid-..
dle East." .
White House spokesman Larry Speakes
and. State Department deputy spokesman
Alan Romberg issued statements saying at-
tacks on U.S..Marines are designed to dis-
rupt the .process of national reconciliation in
Lebanon. A sixth Marine was shot and killed
in Lebanon Sunday: and five others were
wounded.
"The Marines are there," Speakes said..
"They are there for a mission. That's where
they will stay as long as the president thinks,
its necessary for a peace-keeping effort in
the ;Middle East."

At the same. time, the departure-of lunge ::Iark-fi-om
the top national security post at the White
House' would appear to strengthen, at
least tempom-Dy, the hand of Secretary of
State George P. Shultz. Clark had as-
sumed aleading -role in the fields of arms
control and Central America and some as-
peas of Middle East policy. Clark's suc-
cessor will have to go through a period of 1
settling in, during which time the State
Depaent will be expected to provide
continuity on a number of issues..
Experts outside the government are
predicting. meanwhile,' that. - Clark's de-
parture will also reinforce a trend toward
pragmatism in Reagan's foreign policy, a
trend which has not always been evident..,
in the President's 'rhetoric. A recent ex-
ample of the pragmatic..c trend -was

actions were me,~. The sanctions an-

the United States and setting further lim-
its on cultural and other exchanges, --for
example - were limited.
Pragmatism has also been reflected in
the President's approval of a huge new .
grain agreement with the Soviet Union
duction talks going with the Soviets.
Reagan has overtuled -subordinates who
proposed denying the Soviets new Amen -
can oil- and gas-drilling equipment. The
President has made compromises with
moderate Democrats and Republicans in'
the Congress over arms control proposals.
Earlier this month,.Reaganroverrode .ob-
jections from -the Defense Department
and embraced the "build down" concept
for nuclear -arms reductions suggested by
two-key Senators. He also injected new
flexibility.: into .hfs dnhially tough propos-
als for strategic arms reductions.
At this writing, the leading candidate
for the post of national security adviser is
reported to be Robert C. McFarlane, who
is currently serving as deputy assistant to
the president for national security and as
special envoy to the Middle East. Mr.
McFarlane is .a low-key professional with
long experience in the White House. The
former Marine colonel is so self-effacing
that until be was appointed to his roving
Middle East job a few months ago, few -
photographs were publicly available.
McFarlane is regarded by many of the
Congressmen who have dealt with him as
moderate, pragmatic, nonideological and
well-informed. A similar view prevails at
the State Department. Officials there, who
have engaged in many a battle with na-
tional security advisers, including Judge
Clark, say that they would be happy with
the choice of McFarlane for the job.
But objections to McFarlane's selec-
tion as national security adviser have
come from a number of conservative sup-
porters of President Reagan outside the
administration who would like to see
United Nations Ambassador Jeane J.
Kirkpatrick get the job. Inside the admin-
istration, opposition is reported to have
come from Defense Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger and CIA Director William
Casey, who are, said to fear that
McFarlane will not be forceful enough in
presenting their views to the President. A
close friend of Reagan's, Clark had easy
access to the President. He also shared
some of the hardline views for which
Weinberger and Casey are noted.

viser is supposed to be an honest broker,

WASHLNGTON, Oct. 16 - President
Reagan has chosen Robert C. McFar-
lane as his national security, adviser, a
White House official said today. The se-
lection was reported to have angered
Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, the chief United
States representative at the United Na-
tions, and to have persuaded'her to re-
ject any offer of another post in the Ad-
rninistration when, she leaves the
United Nations position this year.
Cabinet Aides Given Assurances
'A White House official said Mr. Rea-
gan had selected Mr. McFarlane, cur-
rently the deputy national security ad-
viser and special Middle East envoy,
for the national security post after as-
suring Cabinet members that Mr.
McFarlane would have access and au-
thority equal to other top White House
aides.
Presidential aides said further that
Mr. Reagan was hoping to offer Mrs.
Kirkpatrick a post as a senior foreign
policy adviser in Washington, where
she lives. Mrs. Kirkpatrick had been
the choice of conservatives within the
Admini-ation
curity post.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick was pictured as
being angered at the reports that she
would be offered another job and as
planning to reject it. She was under-
stood to have felt "blocked" by Secre-
tary of State George P. Shultz and
others for the national security post.
Position Still Undefined
Earlier today a foreign policy official
close to Nirs. Kirkpatrick said that she
would be "silly" to take an undefined
advisory position in Washington..
selectiob stunned members of the Ad-
ministration and touched off a competi-
tion for the national security job.
White House aides let it be known
today that Mr. McFarlane's selection
was imminent They said Mr. Reagan
decided the issue after spending part of
the weekend a surfing conservatives
that their views would be heard. Mis.
Kirkpatrick was reportedly informed
of the choice of Mr. McFarlane on
Saturday.
There were reports that James A.
Baker III, the White House chief of
staff, was being considered by Mr.
Reagan to succeed Mrs. Kirkpatrick at
the United Nations. But Larry Speakes,
the White House spokesman, said to-
night that he had spoken to Mr. Baker
and that Mr. Baker regarded the re-
ports as being "without foundation."
Mr. Reagan also reportedly assured
both Defense Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger and William J. Casey, di-
rector of Central Intelligence, that Mr.
McFarlane would have the necessary
access and clout to keep foreign policy
matters at the top of Mr. Reagan's
agenda.
Nevertheless, the appointment ' of
Mr. McFarlane, a retired Marine
Corps lieutenant colonel who served on
the national security staffs of Presi-
dents Nixon and Ford, was seen by
many in the Administration as a signif-
icant loss for the conservative wing.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick was pictured as
York.
Farmer Professor in Capitol
Before taking the United Nations job,
Mrs. Kirkpatrick was a political sci-
ence professor at the Center for Inter-
national and Strategic Studies at
Georgetown University here.
White House officials said todaythat
Mr. Reagan had wanted to appoint Mr.
McFarlane national security adviser
all along, but that he had wavered be-
cause of the last-minute drive by con-
servatives on Mrs. Kirkpatrick's be-
half, and because of worries by Wil-
ham J. Casey, the current national se-
curity and Defense Secretary Caspar
W. Weinberger.
The departure of Mr. Clark sparked
a strong outcry by conservatives -over
the weekend. An Administration -offi-
cial reported that various conservative
.groups had begun organizing a- cam_
paign on behalf of Mn. Kirkpatrick.
Some conservatives favored such
other choices as Mr. Weinberger him-
self, John Lehman, the Secretary of the
Navy, or Fred C. Ikld, an Under Sec're-
tary of Defense for Policy.
.having been angered by reports that
Mr. Reagan wanted to offer her an-
other foreign policy post in Washing-
ton. She was reported to regard these
reports as "devious" and an attempt to
mollify conservatives after she was
passed over for the national security
post. .
New Position Suggested
White house officials said early
today that Mr. Reagan had not yet de-
cided what sort of post Mrs. Kirkpat-
rick might be offered, and that he
might create a new position in the
White House or the State Department.

Central Intelligence, loved it.

is a newly released English motion
picture, "The Final Option" ; the ac-
obunts of high-level enthusiasm come
from the conservative writer Victor
Lasky, who held private previews of
the film here and in California as a
favor to the producer, Euan Lloyd.
The film is a thriller in which Brit-
ish commandos recapture the Ameri-
can Embassy in London from terror-
ists who manipulate an antinuclear
peace group that is covertly financed
by the Soviet Union. The peace advo-
cates infiltrate the embassy dis-
guised as a dance band and take hos-
tages at a diplomatic dinner, includ-
ing the Secretary of State and the
British Foreign Minister. Almost
without exception, the hostages sur-
vive and the terrorists are extermi-
nated.
On the other hand, The Washington
Post called the film "ill-timed, ill-ti-
tled and more than a little ill-con-
ceived," which is probably just about
what Mr. Lasky and General Haig
would have predicted.

CIA: Casey Responds
I am pleased with the way the article
"The Secret Warriors" (NAT)ONAL AF-
FAIRS, Oct. 10) conveys the dedication and
quality of the people here at the CIA.
However, I cannot let stand statements
and impressions which are simply not
true and which can damage American inter-
ests and relationships around the world.
As you know, it is established policy not
to comment on intelligence matters so I
cannot go into detail. I can only state that I
have been provided with a list of some,30
inaccuracies and things that never hap-
pened that appeared in your article. One-
which I can specifically deny because it
would be illegal, and CIA does not violate
the law, is the allegation that CIA is provid-
ing covert aid to the insurgents in Angola.
In a lesser vein, the degree of inaccuracy
is illustrated in the statement that I am
"traveling at least 50 percent of the time."
This is a 700 percent distortion of the truth.
On a personal note, I would have hoped
in associating my name with Robert Vesco
that you would have acknowledged that it
was I, as chairman of the SEC, who acted
to stop Vesco's worldwide looting of stock-
holders' moneys and took unprecedented
and successful initiatives to protect the in-
vestors he defrauded. In my confirmation
by the Senate Intelligence Committee,
Stanley Sporkin, SEC enforcement chief
at the time the Vesco case was broken,
spelled this out. He stated that I "directly
involved [my]self in aggressively pursuing
the investigation .. pressed the staff to
complete the investigation and to proceed
with the appropriate enforcement action as
soon as possible... had the foresight to seek
the cooperation of other affected govern-
ments. " He concluded that the Vesco action
is "one of the most impressive and impor-
tant enforcement cases in which the SEC
has ever been involved" in which "over 400
million dollars have been recaptured for
investors throughout the world."

President Reagan has chosen
Robert C. McFarlane to succeed
William P Clark as his new national
security. adviser and is expected to
make the - formal announcement
soon, probably today.
At- the same time, informed
administration sources said the
president also has decided to bring
U.N. Ambassador Jeane J. Kirkpat-
rick to Washington as head of one
of the semi-independent national
{ securir'-oriented agencies. Kirk-
patrick has been anxious to leave
the United Nations to return to
Washington and Reagan has wanted
her closer than New York because
of his high regard for her advice
and counsel. "The president wants
her to be his adviser in Washington
as she has been in New York" said
d senior official last night.
Reagan now is trying to decide
where to place her so that she has a.
power base .instead . of being a
supernumerary, of high rank. She is
expected to retain her place in Rea-
gan's Cabinet. Reagan made these
decisions over the weekend at
Camp David and made them known
yesterday to Clark and a few others.
Administration sources said
Secretary of Defense Caspar W.
Weinberger and CIA Director Wil-
liam'J. "Casey were among those at
White House meetings Friday and
Saturday arguing that McFarlane,
now Clark's deputy at the NSC,
should have the same access to the

1.11 also was reliably reported to -
have favored appointment of the
46-year-old former Marine officer
and State Department counsel.
Weighing heavily in favor of
McFarlane was the full backing of
Clark whose advice Reagan prizes
above all others on critical deci-
sions. McFarlane was handpicked
by Clark to be his deputy at the
National Security Council but is
detached to be the president's spe-
cial peace envoy to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, The Washington
Times has learned that Clark last
week promoted his military assis-
tant, Rear Adm. John Poindexter, to
fill McFarlane's job as deputy
pational security adviser. This
cleared the way for McFarlane to
take either the new position or
remain on the gruelling Mideast
assignment.
Reagan now will have to fine,

dle East crisis as well as a new
ambassador to the U.N. Officials

ship and there is no clue as to who
may be considered. It is expected
that McFarlane's assistant, Rich-
ard Fairbanks, former assistant
secretary of state for congres-
sional affairs, will likely take over
the shuttle diplomacy task.
The national security adviser is
nc subject to Senate confirmation
bi Clark, the preside;:t'r nominee
to replace James G. Wait as sec-
retary of the interior, is expected to
face rugged questioning on envi-
ronmental issues when he appears
at Senate hearings on his nomina-
tion. The White House is not
expected to send Clark to Capitol
Hill until Congress adjodrns in
November to give Clark more time
to prepare for what are expected to
be contentious hearings for which
he is hardly prepared at this junc-
ture.
The same forces who unceas-
ingly sought the scalp of Watt
because of his policies and his
unfortunate phrase-making are
expected to zero in on Clark, a con-
servative of the same beliefs as
Reagan and Watt:
Some officials anticipate a delay
in the hearings until January so
that Clark can prepare himself for
a heavy quizzing from anti-
administration senators.
White House insiders say it was
sheer coincidence that McFarlane
was in Washington for consulta.
tions when the Watt resignation
was followed by the bombshell
Clark nomination. But McFarlane
is well known to the president and
thoroughly trusted by Clark and
that was enough for Reagan. In
addition, the State Department and
Secretary George P Shultz sup-
ported McFarlane because they
were not anxious to see the strong-
willed Kirkpatrick move into the
powerful NSC position..
The only argument against
McFarlane was that while he was a
Marine major, he served in the NSC
under Dr. Henry A. Kissinger and
then-Col. Alexander M. Haig Jr.
But McFarlane is an expert on the
nuclear arms negotiations now
reaching a critical stage in Geneva
and is more current than anyone
else on the boiling crisis in the Mid-
east.
Poindexter, a Naval Academy
graduate, is a capable administra-
tor inherited by Clark. from Rich-
ard V. Allen in the NSC. He is still
on the active Navy list but does not
have the rank for dealing with the
