SUMMARY OF MAJOR MEDIA ITEMS ON INTELLIGENCE
1. Dukakis Gets National Security Briefing; To Continue State Trip.
John King reports "Michael Dukakis brought CIA Director William Webster into
his home for a briefing on national security and foreign affairs, topics
Dukakis said he'd like to address in a debate with Republican challenger
George Bush. Also at the briefing Monday night were Deputy CIA Director
Robert Gates; Texas Sen. Lloyd Bensen, Dukakis' vice presidential running
mate; House Intelligence Committee Chairman Louis Stokes of Ohio; Rep. Lee
Hamilton of Indiana, its former chairman, and three Dukakis-Bensen campaign
aides. Participants refused to comment on the session." (AP, 23 Aug)
2. The Two Faces Of Muammar Qaddafi. E. Wayne reports "since early this
year, Col. Muammar Qaddafi has multiplied his efforts to end Libya's
diplomatic isolation and defuse discontent at home. This charm offensive as
one top US official calls it, is seen as tactical. The consensus among United
States specialists is that it has been forced on Colonel Qaddafi by threats to
his regime. US observers agree that the initial moves at home were popular.
But more recent reports suggest that his domestic reforms have reached their
limits and that people are still dissatisfied." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR,
23 Aug, pg. 1)
3. Six Charged For Aiding Contras. Michael Hedges reports "six
Cuban-born Americans were charged with running a commando camp in Naples,
Fla., where troops were trained for missions against the Nicaraguan Sandinista
government, according to a federal indictment unsealed in Fort Lauderdale
yesterday. According to Mark Schnapp, head of the U.S. Attorney's Office
criminal investigations division, the defendants graduated about 60 men from
the camp located near the Everglades in Western Florida between June 1983 and
September 1986. The FBI began investigating the group in July 1985, after
reports that five mercenaries were arrested in Costa Rica in a resistance camp
near the Nicaraguan border." (WASHINGTON TIMES, 23 Aug, pg. A-4)

WEDNESDAY 24 August 1988
SUMMARY OF MAJOR MEDIA ITEMS ON INTELLIGENCE
1. Presidential Candidates Differ on How to Deal With the Soviet Union.
Gerald Seib and John Walcott report that "Michael Dukakis thinks he knows
what's propelling the Soviet Union to negotiate on issues ranging from arms
control to regional hot spots. 'They are in such serious trouble economically
that I think that's what's driving the process.' George Bush begs to differ.
'I don't think that everything is being driven by their economics.' Instead
he credits the Reagan era military buildup with bringing the Soviets around.
In Mr. Dukakis's view, Moscow's own economic predicament has created a
historic opening to challenge the Kremlin diplomatically to cut conventional
forces, stop arming Nicaragua, help achieve Middle East peace--and even to
begin working jointly on such problems as the environment and space
exploration. Mr. Bush, by contrast, talks more skeptically of a 'watch and
see period' in US-Soviet relations. Mr. Bush says he would continue
supporting anti-Communist rebels while looking for improved Soviet behavior in
Central America. As Mr. Bush and his aides note, Central Intelligence Agency
Director William Webster and other senior military and intelligence officials
share his skepticism: they say they haven't seen evidence that Moscow has
adopted a purely defensive military doctrine or slashed military aid to major
Third World clients." (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 24 Aug, pg. 1)
2. New Round of Talks Opens on Southern Africa Agreement. David Ottaway
reports "negotiators from the United States, Cuba, Angola and South Africa met
yesterday in the Congolese capital of Brazzaville to open a fifth round of
talks that is expected to determine whether an accord can be reached on a
southern Africa peace settlement before the end of the Reagan administration.
The current round is expected to involve hard bargaining over a compromise on
this issue and to test the intentions of all the parties in the negotiations.
Another issue that could upset an overall agreement is the fate of the
National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), the US- and South
African-backed rebel group fighting the Angolan government. UNITA is not
involved in the US-mediated talks and has refused to accept the cease-fire
negotiated by Cuba, South Africa and Angola. Crocker has said US covert
military aid to UNITA will continue until the Angolan government reaches a
political settlement with it." (WASHINGTON POST, 24 Aug, pg. A-18)
