White House
breached
by intruder
Associated Press
ft
WASHINGTON — A man who
said he just wanted to see President
Reagan inaugurated penetrated
elaborate Secret Service screening
rocedures by accompanying the
arine Band into the White House
on Jan. 20 and roamed the executive
mansion for about 15 minutes be
fore he was arrested.
White House and Secret Service
spokesmen said Tuesday the presi-
cfent was not in the building at the
time.
“It was a mistake,” said presi
dential spokesman Larry Speakes,
who confirmed details of the inci
dent only after an account of the in
truder’s escapade was published by
the Rocky Mountain News.
In defending his withholding of
information aoout the incident,
Speakes also disclosed another case
in which he said a man armed with a
pistol slipped into a restricted “pool”
of reporters and photographers ac
companying Reagan to a high school
speech site in Fairbanks, Alaska, on
the president’s return from China in
May. The spokesman refused to di
vulge details of the incident.
Secret Service agent Jack Taylor
said later, however, the armed man
was a bush pilot who agents later de
termined was innocently engulfed
by the traveling entourage.
T he White House intruder was
identified as Robert Latta, 45, of
Denver, who told The Associated
Press, “I was just going in to see the
ceremony.”
“I just walked in with the band,"
Latta said in an interview following
his return to Denver after spending
five days in jail on a misdemeanor
charge of unlawful entry. He has
been released on $1,000 oond pen
ding a hearing in District of Colum
bia Superior Court in March.
In the nearly four years since Rea
gan was shot and seriously wounded
in an assassination attempt, security
measures have been tightened.
But Latta, who said he came to
Washington for the inaugural festi
vities, was never stopped when he
appeared at the East Gate of the
White House and mingled with 33
members of the elite Marine Corps
orchestra that was to play for the
small, invitation-only swearing-in
ceremony.
Latta, wearing a suit and carrying
a hag, simply walked in with the uni
formed band members, left his bag
with the instruments and followed
them upstairs. Neither the Marine
officer, the band members them
selves nor the White House guards
from the uniformed division of the
Secret Service questioned Latta’s
presence, Speakes said.
Although official accounts vary, a
White House usher spotted the un
familiar figure and notified chief
White House usher Rex Scouten,
who summoned White House
guards. At 10:11 a.m. — about 14
minutes after he entered the man
sion, Latta was approached by a
guard in the imposing Cross Hall
just outside the Blue Room and a
few paces from the landing of the
Grand Staircase where Reagan was
to be sworn in just before noon.

In a wide-ranging interview with wire service reporters, Weinbergeri

way of "protecting ourselves."
Weinberger made a speech in defense of his agency’s budget Monil|

In that speech, he said it would be “impossible to gain’’ an arms com
agreement with the Soviets “if we falter now in our commitment

The Soviet Union, he told reporters, continues to spend much
than the United States on new weapons. If the United States does not
ernize its own defenses to serve as a deterrent, not only does it leaveil
open to attack but it loses any hope of negotiating an arms coni
agreement.
“I have to say that we have made a major contribution," Weinbei
said, noting the fiscal 1986 proposal was substantially below the proj
made by the president just a year ago and even below the target accepted
Congress last fall.

Nuclear Regulatory group |
names troublesome plants
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Atomic
power plants in Ohio, California,
New Jersey and Alabama top gov
ernment regulators’ short list of the
most worrisome of the more than 80
operating nuclear power reactors in
the country.
The informal list was discussed
Tuesday before the Nuclear Regula
tory Commission by the administra
tors of the agency’s five regional of
fices in charge of assuring that the
plants are built and opereted safely.
While the evaluations were some
what subjective, the Davis Besse
plant in Ohio, Rancho Seco in Cali
fornia, Salem in New Jersey and the
three-reactor Browns Ferry plant in
Alabama clearly emerged as the
NRC rc '
re gu la-
most troublesome to
tors.
Also coming under criticism were
the Nine Mile Point plant in New
York, Beaver Valley in Pennsylva
nia, Maine Yankee, Wolf Creek in
Kansas and the San Onofre plant in
California.
And while the officials said the
owners of all nine facilities are tak
ing steps to improve their perfor
mance, they noted that the progress
is sometimes “painfully slow.”
The regional officials based their
judgments partially on each plant’s
safety record, various personnel and
equipment problems, enforcement
actions and emergency shutdowns as
well as yearly “systematic assessing
of licensee performance” reports
But those are “formal" crii®
that can be quantified to somei\i
