World Court Pos tpones
Decision on Niece a
THE HAGUE, Oct. 8 (AP) - The
World Court today postponed a derision
on a Nicaraguan complaint that the
.United States is making "armed at-
tacks" against the coumtry.
Instead, the Court said it would begin
hearings on whether it has jurisdiction
to bear the complaint. Davis R. Robin-
son, the United States representative at
the Court, has argued that the court
does not have jurisdiction because
Nicaragua never recognized the au-
thority of the World Court.
But Carlos Arguello, the Nicaraguan
Ambassador to the Netherlands, has
said his Government does recognize
the Court's authority because Nicara-
gua participates in the United Nations.
If the Court, the judicial arm of the
United Nations, decides to accept the
case, it may take years before a ruling
is issued. The Court has no enforce-
ment power.

Nicaraguan Injustice at the World Court
as well as the independent findings of the
bipartisan Kissinger Commission and con-
gressional intelligence committees. Al-
though there is recurrent controversy as to
the level of arms transshipped from Nica-
ragua to Salvadoran insurgents, when all
relevant indicators are taken together the
evidence of a continuing and determined
armed attack is overwhelming.
On the merits of the Central American
case, the U.S. has every right to respond to
the request of El Salvador under Article 51
of the U.N. charter and to take whatever
measures are necessary and proportional
to end the armed attack against El Salva-
dor. In fact, we have essentially the same
legal obligation under Article 3 of the Rio
Treaty to go to the defense of El Salvador
U.S' sought damages in the death of six
Americans aboard an Israeli airliner shot
down by the Bulgarians in July 1955. And
few noticed that in the Nicaragua case the
U.S. remained the only nation in the world
to appear before the court to contest provi-
sional measures despite the conviction that
the court lacked jurisdiction, that Nicara-
gua filed the case for propaganda objec-
tives, and that the case held real potential
to severely damage both the court and con-
tinuing peace efforts in Central America.
El Salvador's declaration stresses that
court action could inhibit the continuing
Contadora peace process endorsed by the
U.N. Security Council and nations in the
region (including, It would seem, Nicara-
gua). Moreover, it now seems clear that
We have essentially the same obligation under the Rio
Treaty to defend El Salvador as we would under NATO
in the event of an attack on Canada or Britain.
as we would under Article 5 of the NATO
Treaty in the event of an armed attack
against Canada or Britain. If there is to be
any meaning to a post-charter Monroe
Doctrine, surely it is that the U.S. will as-
sist nations in the region against armed
attack directed from abroad for the pur-
pose of permanently depriving those na-
tions of their right to self-determination.
The Salvadoran declaration before the
International Court is also important in
clarifying the appropriate role for the
court in the Central American conflict.
Nicaragua worked approximately eight
months in preparing its application to the
court. With only 48 hours' notice, the U.S.
reacted on April 6 by modifying its accep-
tance of compulsory jurisdiction of the
court for a period of two years regarding
events arising from the Central American
conflict. Such action was widely seen as
proof that the U.S. was acting illegally or
at least was callous toward the appropriate
since El Salvador and other states in the
region are indispensable parties affected
by the action, and that not all such af-
fected or involved states (which include
Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and
Cuba) are before the court, the court lacks
jurisdiction under the Vandenberg Reser-
vation (also part of the original U.S. accep-
tance of the jurisdiction of the court, it ex-
cludes disputes arising under a multilat-
eral treaty unless all parties affected are
before the court) as well as under the
Court's own doctrine of "admissibility."
It has also become clear that Nicaragua
itself has never accepted the compulsory
jurisdiction of the court. Indeed, it is now
known that when in 1957 Honduras and
Nicaragua sought to submit a border dis-
pute to the court, an understanding that
Nicaragua had not accepted the jurisdic-
tion of the court led to the parties' accept-
ing jurisdiction by special agreement.
has been and must continue to be an im-
portant U.S. goal. Nothing, however, can
more severely damage the court than the
spectacle of it being crassly used by a na-
tion engaged in an armed attack against
its neighbor in violation of the most impor-
tant provisions of the charters of the U.N.
and the Organization of American States.
The People's Courage
Even if there were no such upside-down
invocation of the court, there are strong
reasons why use of the court to adjudicate
major ongoing hostilities may overload the
court and actually harm efforts to
strengthen its role. Hardy Dillard, while a
judge of the court, recognized these impor-
tant limitations in noting: "There are
many controversies that have a legal com-
ponent yet do not lend themselves to adju-
dication. Litigation represents only the war
side of law and to exaggerate its role may
have a chilling effect on the effort to use
law more effectively." In general, the op-
posite view that the court is a suitable fo-
rum for resolving hostilities such as the
Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli conflict or
the Central American conflict is regarded
in scholarly literature as an extreme "le-
galist" view that holds the potential to
harm the rule of law in international
life.
As one who recently witnessed the free
and open presidential election in El Salva-
dor, I could not help but be impressed by
the courage of the people of that nation in
their determination to build and defend de-
mocracy. When buses were threatened,
families walked miles to the polls. When
guerrilla attacks blacked out San Salvador,
the counting of ballots proceeded by can-
dlelight. I can imagine no greater perver-
sion of the rule of law and the important
role of the court than to permit Nicaragua,
the nation engaged in that continuing
armed attack, to invoke the prestige of the
court in an Orwellian effort to inhibit a
lawful defensive response.

Nicaragua is to make oral arguments
today on the jurisdictional issues of its
case against the U.S. in the International
Court of Justice. When it brought the ac-
tion last spring, its application was spear-
headed by a stable of American lawyers
and was accompanied by a Washington
news conference coinciding with key con-
gressional votes on funding for Central
America. Nicaragua's thesis that the U.S.
was gratuitously attacking it in violation of
international law was uncritically accepted
by many at home and abroad. Few noticed
that Nicaragua sought not only an end to
any support for the "contras," Nicaraguan
insurgents, but also the withdrawal of the
55 American advisers from El Salvador.
In August, El Salvador filed a declara-
tion of intervention in the Nicaragua case
to set the record straight and to support
the U.S. position that the Nicaraguan ap-
plication is inappropriate. Lacking a Wash-
ington news conference, the Salvadoran
action was largely ignored. On Friday-
and without a hearing-the World Court re-
jected the Salvadoran request to intervene
insofar as it relates to the current jurisdic-
tional phase of the proceeding. (This action
doesn't decide on the request for any other
stage of the case, including the merits,
should the case go that far.)
Overwhelming Evidence
The Salvadoran action is of fundamen-
tal importance in restoring balance to the
Central American debate. In it El Salvador
makes clear, as has the U.S., that it wel-
comed the new government in Nicaragua
and hoped for an era of democracy, reform
and peace in Central America. Instead-
and contrary to the assertions of Nicara-
gua before the court-El Salvador was sub-
jected to an armed attack organized, di-
rected, armed, supplied, financed, trained
and politically supported by Nicaragua and
Cuba. In that setting, El Salvador re-
quested-and under the United Nations
charter and the hemispheric Rio Defense
Treaty was entitled to receive-assistance
necessary and proportional to ending the
armed attack.
The declaration by El Salvador sup-
ports in detail the conclusions documented
in a long series of administration testi-
mony, speeches, "White Papers" and

Overseas Writers Club today:

"I think it would be very, very bad if

He was alluding to the Reagan Ad-
ministration's argument that aid to the
Nicaraguan insurgents was justified on
the ground that the Nicaraguan Gov-
ernment was aiding the rebel forces in
El Salvador.
Two Legislative Approaches
There are two legislative possibil-
ities when Congress returns, Congres.
sional staff aides said.
One is for a House-Senate conference
to settle differences between a $1.4 bil-
iion Senate appropriations bill that con-
tains $21 million for Nicaraguan rebels,
and a House bill that contains only $150
million in African famine relief.
The other is for the House to take up a
substitute 'appropriations bill offered
by Representative Jamie L. Whitten,
Democrat of Mississippi, chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, which
contains $500 million in aid, none of its
for the Nicaraguan rebels,
Neither approach would provide
money for the Insurgents.
Last fall, when the Congress first ap.
proved $24 million for the Nicaraguan
rebels, the House at first did not sup.
port the aid., But House conferees
agreed to it in conference with the Sen-
ate. For this to happen again, the Sen-
ate conferees would have to fight
strongly for the request.
Two Hearings Are Scheduled
The Administration hopes to end the
feud with the Senate Intelligence Com.
mittee next week. Two hearings are

scheduled. The first, on Monday,'will
be involve staff members of the com-
mittee and of the Central Intelligence
Agency, through which the money for
the Nicaraguan rebels is being fun-
neled. The other hearing, on Thursday,
will involved senators and senior C.I.A.
officials;
Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat
of Vermont, who is a committee mem-
ber, said in an interview that there
were so many senators who "'ustifia-
blyfeel they were not briefed adequate-
ly" that there is a credibility problem
between the Congress and the intelli-
genceagencies.
. "We should charge admission to the
hearing next week," he said, "because
there will be so much storming with
people pointing fingers at each other,
accusing them of this and that."
Senator Leahy, who opposed aid for
the Nicaraguan rebels, has said that he
was sufficiently briefed on the nature
of American involvement in the activi-
ties against Nicaragua.
Committee Recommendations
Committee staff aides have drawn up
some recommendations. Some of these
reflect the. complaints by Senator
Barry Goldwater, Republican of Ari-
zona, the committee chairman, and

Democrat of New York, the vice chair-
man, that Mr. Casey did not properly
inform the committee about the scope
of the American involvement.
Under the recommendations, the
committee aides said, the C.I.A. would
be required to certify each week that it
has not undertaken any new significant
operations without fully informing the
committee, Mr. Casey would be re-
quired to testify only under oath, and
the C.I.A. legislative liaison officer,
Clair George, would be replaced.
Mr. Casey has insisted that he has
complied fully with the law in his brief-
ings. In a bulletin distributed to C.I.A.
employees last week, he said reports
that Congress had not been properly in-
formed were "not true."

Text of Statement, by C.I.A.
sp.awroeNewYotTfmr
WASHINGTON, April 16 - Following is a statement today by Georg
Lauder, the Central Intelligence Agency spokesman, on behalf of the agenc
concerning its efforts to keep appropriate committees of Congress informed
C.I.A. covert operations:
During the 13 January 1981 Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence
hearing on the nomination of Mr.
Casey to be Director, C.I.A., Mr.
Casey said:
"1 intend to comply fully with,the
.spirit and the letter of the Intelligence
Oversight Act. I intend to provide this
committee with the Information It be-
lieves it needs for oversight pur-
poses."
Mr. Casey believes the record will
reflect that he and his staff have kept
that pledge. A chronology of briefings
of the Congressional oversight com-
mittees in connection with events In
Central America reveals that from
December 1981 through March 1984,
either the director or deputy director
briefed the Congressional commit.
tees 30 times on Central America.
Moreover, from 16 September 1983
through 2 April 1984, other officials of
C.I.A. briefed either the committees
or the committee staff 22 times on
Central American developments.
Since the first of this year, the subject

staffers of the committees and oth
members of the Congress 11 times.
Largely in order to keep the Cc
gress satisfactorily informed on t
agency's activities, the director h
continually strengthened the C.I.A
Congressional liaison office. This
rice has been in virtual daily contt
with staffers of the House or Sent

tees of the Congress. The obligatior

tral Intelligence Agency reversed itself
today and acknowledged that earlier
this year, It delayed for six weeks a rw
spouse to a request by the Senate Select
Committee c Intelligence for a brief.
Ing on covert activity in Nicaragua.
A C.I.A. spokesman, George Lauder,
said be gave an incorrect account Sun-
day when be told The New York Times
that William J. Casey, the Director of
Central Intelligence, had been ready to
brief the committee in January, but
had not done so until March because
the committee asked for delays.
The retraction was made after Rob-
ert R. Simmons, the committee's staff
director, told The Times today that he
asked Clair George, the C.I.A.'s liaison
officer, in late January for a briefing in
early February. Mr. Simmons said the
C.I.A. sought two delays and did not
brief the committee until March 8.
Senators' Complaints Recalled
Senator Barry Goldwater, Republi-
can of Arizona, committee chairman,
and Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
Democrat of New York, vice chair.
man, have said that the C.I.A. did not
keep the committee "currently" In-
formed, in particular on the scope of
American Involvement in the mining of
harbors starting in early January.
The Senators have also said that
when there were briefings, March 8
and 13, Mr. Casey did not "fully" dis-
close the United State' role.

'tivities" and of "any significant antici-
pated intelligence activity."
Moynihan Is Asked to Reconsider
Senator Moynihan said Sunday ,that
he was resigning as vice chairman of
the Intelligence Committee to draw at-
tention to what he said was the failure
of the C.I.A. to inform it properly.
Mr. Simmons said today that Senator
Goldwater, who is In Taiwan, had
asked him to urge Mr. Moynihan to
reconsider his resignation. Mr. Moyni-
han said in a telephone interview that
he was not inclined to change his mind.
The C.I.A., in seeking to demonstrate
that It had kept committees informed,
acknowledged publicly for the first
time today its involvement in harbor
mining. A statement said that "the sub-
ject of mining of Nicaraguan ports"
had been discussed 11 times this year In
Conm-essional briefings.
Mr. Simmons, the Intelligence Con
mittee's staff chief, filled in additional
details on briefing arrangements.
In a telephone call that he initiated,
Mr. Lauder said that an Jan. 12, Mr.
Casey told Senators Goldwater artd
Moynihan in a letter that the C.I.A.
wished to "withdraw the full amount of
money" - $24 million - in funds ap-
proved for Nicaraguan activities.
"I was a little surprised," Mr. Sim-
mons said. "I spoke to Clair George
around Jan. 23 and told him that, on the
basis of this request, the members
would probably want a meeting with
Mr. Casey before the February re-
cess." The recess was for the Lincoln
and Washington birthdays.
Goldwater Accommodated C.I.A.
Continuing his account of discussions
with F . George,'Mr. Simmons said:
"He called me back and said the Ad-
ministration was still trying to make a
decision on the-issue of supplemental
funds over and above the $24 million,
and could the committee wait until

;ter had agreed to accommodate the
C.I.A., and a meeting was set for Feb.
29. Meanwhile, unknown to the Senate
committee, the C.I.A. had briefed the
House Intelligence Committee Jan. 31.
On Feb. 24, Mr. Simmons said, he
was called by Mr. George and told that
the agency did not want to brief on Feb.
29, as scheduled, because Mr. Shultz
would be "unavailable." Mr. Simmons
said he told Mr. George that there was
pressure front-many,committee mem-
bers for a briefing and he refused the
request to postpone the meeting.
But on Feb. 27, Mr. Simmons said,
Mr. Casey telephoned Senator Goldwa-
ter to seek a delay, and Senator Gold-
water agreed to a March 8 meeting.
Today, when Mr. Lauder, the C.I.A.
spokesman, was informed of Mr. Sim-
mons's rebuttal, he said he had to
check. He called back and said that, on
the basis of his conversations with
C.I,A. officials, "Rob Simmons is 100
percent correct."
"I am truly sorry," Mr. Lauder said.
"We regret any misunderstanding on
this matter."
Mr. Lauder, in a subsequent tele-
phone conversation, was asked why the
C.I.A. had briefed the House commit-

han to reconsider his resignation.
tee on Jan. 31, but had sought a delay in
the Senate committee. He said the
C.I.A. was under the impression that
some senators wanted Mr. Shultz to
testify and that the agency sought to
accommodate Mr. Shultz's schedule.
Mr. Simmons said Mr. Casey was
told Feb. 27 that the committee wanted
the briefing without delay whether or
not Mr. Shultz was there.
The specific issue of harbor mining,
Mr. Simmons said, was mentioned by
Mr. Casey in the context of accomplish-
ments of the Nicaraguan rebels. Ac-
cording to Mr. Simmons, Mr. Casey
said mines had been laid in three har-
bors, but his comments were phrased
in such a way that it seemed as if the
rohpls had done it by themselves.
Mr. Simmons said the committee
had been told in 1983 that the rebels
were being trained in minelaying and it
was assumed that the mining of ports
was a result of that training.
The March 8 briefing was, in fact,
dominated by a dispute that had arisen
a day earlier when it was discldsed that
the Administration had asked the Sen-
ate Appropriations Committee to ap-
prove $21 million in supplemental
funds for Nicaragua, without first ob-
taining the intelligence committee's
authorization. Mr. Shultz apologized
for bypassing the Intelligence Commit-
tee.
On March 13, Mr. Casey met again
with the committee and won its back-
ing for the additional $21 million, which
was eventually approved by the Senate
on April 5. Mr. Casey gave no further
details on harbor mining.
The first indication the committee
had that the mining involved not just
Nicaraguans camNMarch 30, Mr. Sim-
mons said. Senator Claiborne Pell,
Democrat of Rhode Island, who is not
on the Intelligence Committee, but is
the ranking.minority member on the
Foreign Relations Committee, had
been disturbed by reports of ships
being damaged by mines and asked the
Intelligence Committee for informa-
tion.
Gary J. Schmitt, the committee's mi-
nority staff director, passed on the re-
quest to the C.I.A. and, on March 30, re-
ceived a letter that mentioned "unilat-
erally controlled Latino assets."
Mr. Simmons, who said he had
worked for 10 years for the C.I.A.,
knew that this meant the United States
was in charge of Latin Americans
doing the mining.
That letter led Mr. Schmitt to seek a
full staff briefing on April 2, Mr. Sim-
mons said, and this resulted in the dis-
closures about a C.I.A.-leased ship,
carrying Americans, that was trans-
ferring mines to speedboats operated
by non-Nicaraguan Latin Americans
working for the agency.
