attentive to detail.
The committee released the re
sults of a four-month review of
Casey’s past business and legal
affairs. The six-page report,
adopted by the committee late
Tuesday, was not unanimous, as
had been expected.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.,
who had pushed from the outset
for a thorough investigation of
Casey, was alone among the 15

members in voting against the re
port.
Other Democrats who en
dorsed the findings, including
Senators Walter Huddleston of
Kentucky and Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, were sharply critical of
Casey. Huddleston said there was
enough evidence for President
Reagan to consider asking Casey,
his 1980 campaign manager, to
resign.
Leahy told United Press Inter
national Tuesday he could not give
his approval to Casey because
something incriminating kept
showing up every month or so
since the probe began in July.
Leahy said the report “was
damning him (Casey) with faint
praise.”
Even a strong Casey defender.
Sen. Harrison Schmitt, R-N.M.,
said the whole situation is not flat
tering to the CIA director.
The committee looked into
Casey’s private dealings, his acti
vities while heading the Securities
and Exchange Commission and
the Export-Import Bank, the
financial disclosure forms he filed
when he joined the administration
and his appointment of campaign
aide Max Hugel as head of CIA
covert operations.
It was Hugel’s forced resigna
tion July 15 — prompted by alle
gations Hugel had engaged in
stock manipulation — that
brought Casey’s past business
dealings under scrutiny.
The report said the committee
had found that Casey had not been
careful with details, particularly
on two disclosure forms required
by the Office of Government
Ethics and the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence.
But the panel also concluded:
“Having reviewed the facts
obtained in the course of its four-
month investigation, the commit
tee reaffirms its July 29, 1981,
statement that no basis has been
found for concluding that Mr.
Casey is unfit to hold office as dire
ctor of Central Intelligence. ”
When it began its probe, the
committee learned Casey had not
filed a complete financial disclo
sure statement before his confir
mation hearings. The committee
approved his nomination, andtlie
Senate confirmed him, 95-0, on
Jan. 28.
The original answers omitted it
least nine investments valued at
more than a quarter of a million
dollars, personal debts and contiii.
gent liabilities of nearly $500,0(10,
a number of corporations oi
foundations on whose board Casey
served, four civil lawsuits inwhici
he was involved in the last five
years and more than 70 clients!^
had represented in private pact
tice in the last five years, i
Among the clients he failed to
list, were the governments d
South Korea and Indonesiaandao
oil company controlled by the In.
doncsian government.
The report noted the govern
ment ethics office asked Caseyfa
a list of clients from the pastN
years, while the committee re
quired one covering five yean,
Casey failed to note the Senate
requirement, it said.

HOUSTON — In compliance
with its contract. Brown 6c Root
Co. has ended its six years of con
struction work on the South Texas
Nuclear Project, leaving the work
force at about one-third of its ori
ginal strength.
Officials said Tuesday a further
reduction to 650 workers will
leave a caretaker crew to carry out
maintenance and security until a
new contractor takes over.
Houston Lighting 6c Power
Co., the project manager that set
the Dec. 1 deadline last month for
Brown 6c Root to leave the con
struction site, said it hopes to pick
a new contractor by Jan. 1.
But officials said it will take
about six months before construc
tion resumes on the half-
completed nuclear power plant
near Bay City.
HL&P’s decision to removt
Brown 6c Root forced the Nuclei:
Regulatory Commission’s liceiu
ing lioard to cancel a specialhea:
ing scheduled for next week in A&
stin. The NRC wants toknowhot
quality control would be m®
tained on safety-related construc
tion while the builder was phased
out of the project.
