~~Jash i ngton, DC
E31LL JORGENSEN: Now the business of building a new
Administration brings the Republican economic brain trust to Los
Angeles this weekend. These 14 experts will wrestle with details
of the Reagan economic plan, deciding how to make it work.
Reagan says hu II be in Washington for two days next
week, and -i-he goal is building-bridges with Congress and visiting
his new home which, of course, is the White House.
STEVE BOSH: Bill, in those meetings this weekend, the
Central Intelligence Agency will be a priority discussion. The
recent effc>rts to tighten congressional controls on the CIA will
not be loob;ed upon favorably by the Senate Intelligence Commit-
tee s new C;tia i rman , Senator Barry Goldwater .
And former directors are saying the very same thing, as
we hear in this report from Ford Rowan.
FORD ROWAN: Several former high officials in the
Central Intelligence Agency predict that covert operations will
escalate under President Reagan. Covert actions were curtailed
several years ago after it was disclosed that the CIA had plotted
assassinations, experimented with drugs and spied on Americans.
Sources say that under President Carter's CIA Director;
Stansfield Turner,.the number of covert missions has been 'modest,
But William Casey, a top Reagan adviser, is expected to push for
revitalizing the CIA.
Former CIA Director irJilliam Colby said there will not
be a recurrence of abuses but he expects covert activities will
increase.
