What do you feel should be the United Statfs policy towards whoever wins the election in El Salvador? SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER: I think we ought to try to get along with them. I think we should do whatever we can in a noncombatant way to help the country. Central America is as im- portant to us, I think, as any part of the world, probably. And I wouldn't want to see us go down there with armed forces if there's a chance of getting the whole thing to work. And I think maybe we can do it. ANNOUNCER: From CBS News, Washington, a spontaneous and unrehearsed news interview on Face the Nation with Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. , Senator Goldwater will be questioned by CBS News con- gressional correspondent Phil Jones; by Jack Germond, syndicated columnist for the Baltimore Evening Sun; and by the moderator, CBS News correspondent George Herman. HERMAN: Senator Goldwater, it was your opinion in your first answer that we should get along with whoever wins the elec- tion in El Salvador. But supposing it should turn out to be the extreme right wing, Major D'Aubuisson, who says his first action would be to hang President Duarte, a man who's been -- D'Aubuisson has been called a psychopathic butcher.

War. Interviews with NASA, Defense Department and intelligence offi- cials, congressmen, and a variety of secret documents from those same agencies show: e- The Air Force and CIA are heading for a battle over the multi- billion dollar spy satellite program. Early flight tests show the shuttle a potentially cheaper and more reli- able platform for spying from space than the elaborate CIA satel- lites that have cost billions to develop. 6 If space treaties now in effect were scrapped the shuttle could deploy large nuclear warheads in earth orbit saving billions of dollars over the proposed MX program now before Congress. 0 Shuttles could be equipped with automated devices that could disrupt Soviet computer and micro- wave communications. 0 A Defense Department study .shows computer controlled lasers aboard the shuttle could be used to destroy Soviet nuclear warheads. 0 The shuttle could be 'used ' to orbit biological and chemical weap- ons stockpiles that could be brought to their targets on command back from space. The CIA, in an assessment of Soviet reaction to the reusable spaceship, said in the view of the Kremlin's experts the shuttle "negates" the Soviet's ability to launch more and heavier nuclear S, , " -t'- S- %_ . / I to be joined by 1985 by Discovery and Atlantis. A private company, Space Trans- portation Co. Inc., has proposed buying a fifth orbiter for the fleet in exchange for worldwide commer- cial marketing rights of the shuttle. No decision has been made on.that offer by NASA. Technicians are now rewiring the Lyndon B. Johnson Spacecenterin Houston to protect the communica- tions for future shuttle missions from prying Soviet ears. Air Force officials require all. NASA and contractor employees to have security clearences to work on the shuttle operations. The fourth launch of Columbia, set for late June, will orbit the first spy sensor Force. 1 he laser sensor package is designed to help define targets for nuclear tipped rockets. With that launch, the American space program - always a wide- open affair - will begin to shut out the glare of publicity in the name of national security, something the Soviet Union has done for more than 25 years. The television pictures, the open communications, the good news and bad Americans are so used to getting will be a thing of the past. In the late 1930s, the program will become even more secretive as the shuttle is sent into polar orbit from a new launch site being built at-the Western Test Range at Van- denberg Air Force Base, Calif. That launch is being designed to hide the shuttle from observation while it is being loaded with cargo. "In 1971 NASA had to make a pact with the devil to get its space shuttle through Richard Nixon and Congress and now the devil wants his part of the action" an angry member of the Senate Intelligence Cbmmitttee said. That senator asked not to be named. The pact the senator refers to is a bizarre partnership NASA, made with the Air Force to sell the expen- sive program to Congress.
