Bishops condemn U.S. deterrence policy
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — About 100
United Methodist bishops from across the
country unanimously condemned nuclear ar
maments Tuesday and termed the U.S. policy
of nuclear deterrence “a dogmatic license for
perpetual hostility between the superpowers.”
The bishops representing the nation’s sec
ond-largest Protestant denomination de
clared any “moral case for deterrence, even as
an interim epoch, has been undermined by
unrelenting arms escalation.”
The stand by the chief overseers of the 10
million-member denomination was the first
by a major religious group to reject the policy
of stockpiling nuclear weapons for deter
rence. It has been a keystone of American de
fense strategy for 40 years.
After two hours of discussion, the unani
mous adoption of the 31,500-word teaching-
document brought the bishops to their feet
for two minutes of applause.
Bishop C. Dale White of New York told a
press conference afterwards,“It’s a clear and
ringing declaration.
“We’re challenging the politics of this gov
ernment and nation and doing so in the name
of Christian justice.”,
Their document asserted a “clear and un
conditioned ‘no’ to any use of nuclear arms,
called for a ban on space weapons, a mutual
verifiable nuclear freeze and ‘ultimate dis
mantling of all such weapons.’
The final phrase was added on a motion by
Bishop Richard W. Wilke of Little Rock, Ark.,
the only substantial change made before ap
proval of the document.
T he bishops said nuclear arms threaten all
human life and “creation itself,” and even
their use in an attempted “limited war” would
violate classic “just war” principals by hurting
noncombatants and having no chance of
doing more good than harm.
Declaring that a current “nuclear idolatry”
based on vengeful judgment and mass de
struction is “contrary to the will of God,” the
bishops urged a new U.S.-Soviet epoch of re
ciprocity and also independent, even risky,
initiatives to get rid of such weapons.

Records say Deaver
has lobbied friends
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mi
chael K. Deaver, under investiga
tion for possibly violating con
flict-of-interest laws in the 1 1
months since he resigned as one
of President Reagan’s top aides,
has lobbied friends and top ad
ministration officials on behalf of
his foreign clients, government
records show.
Treasury Secretary James A.
Baker III, Commerce Secretary
Malcolm Baldrige, Secretary of
State George Shultz and U.S.
Trade Representative Clayton K.
Yeutter are some of the influen
tial people that Deaver or mem
bers of his firm have contacted on
behalf of their clients.
And the clients have paid
handsomely for the services of
Michael K. Deaver and Asso
ciates, according to documents
filed with the Justice Department
for the six-month period ending
March 18.
The picture that emerges is
that of a firm whose employees
traveled abroad, entertained cli
ents at some of the Washington’s
priciest restaurants and kept in
touch with top-ranking officials
as well as bureaucrats and con
gressional aides.
The documents, filed under
the Foreign Agents Registration
Act, do not make clear which em
ployee was involved in each duty.
But Deaver told a television inter
viewer earlier this month that
some clients, such as Saudi Ara
bia, insisted that he handle their
case exclusively.
The law requires companies
that represent foreign countries
or foreign firms to detail what
they do and how much they are
paid. It does not cover domestic
clients.
Deaver received substantial
fees from his clients. Canada
signed a $105,000-a- year
agreement and paid over $50,000
on Nov. 7 and $25,000 six weeks
later. The CBI Sugar Group Inc.,
a consortium of Latin American
and Caribbean sugar producers
based in Panama City, Panama,
paid Deaver $300,000 over five
months, and the Royal Embassy
of Saudi Arabia paid him
$125,000 on Feb. 18.
The Justice Department has
been urged by the Office of Gov
ernment Ethics, five members of
the Democratic minority of the
Senate Judiciary Committee and
Deaver himself to seek the ap
pointment of a special prosecutor
to see if Deaver violated any laws.
Deaver, 48, a former White
House deputy chief of staff and
an intimate of the Reagans for
years, has denied doing anything
wrong.
Final homage
NASA prepares remains of shuttle crew for buridl
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del.
(AP) — Seven flag-draped coffins
holding the remains of the astro
nauts killed three months ago in the
explosion of space shuttle Chal
lenger arrived Tuesday to be pre
pared for burial or cremation.
Nearly 150 military personnel and
civilians watched as the astronauts'
coffins were placed in silver hearses
and taken to the base mortuary to be
prepared according to their families’
wishes.
A six-man color guard carried the
American, Navy, Air Force and
NASA fiags, while a 37-member Air
Force honor guard saluted.
The coffins arrived shortly after
noon in a C-141 aircraft, which also
carried the escorts and officials from
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
The plane left Cape Canaveral,
Fla., at 9:34 a.m. EDT — three
months and one day after Chal
lenger exploded nine miles above
Earth.
Thousands of space center work
ers lined roads as hearses carried the
bodies from a medical laboratory to
the plane. Larger crowds waited out
side the Kennedy Space Center
headquarters building and near the
huge hangar where shuttles are as
sembled.
The Dover mortuary is the East
Coast receiving and embalming site
for remains of goverment employ
ees, military personnel or their rela
tives.
Base officials said the mortuary
work should take about a day.
NASA has not determined the
time or cause of death of the astro
nauts, according to Richard Truly,
director of the shuttle program. Di
vers who retrieved the bodies re
ported they were not recognizable.
As a result, forensic experts had a
difficult time making identifications.
Many experts believe the astro
nauts died almost instantly either
from the force of the explosion or
from rapid decompression of the
crew compartment.
Terrorism charge levied against Libyans
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A
prosecutor’s indictment says a Li
byan intelligence officer visited Tur
key in January to scout American
targets for terrorist attacks.
Security Court prosecutor Ulku
Coskun prepared the indictment for
the trial of five Libyans accused of
planning a grenade attack on a U.S.
military officers’ club in Ankara.
Two of the Libyans were captured
near the club before the attack could
be carried out on the evening of
April 18, three days after the U.S.
air raids on Libya. They were carry
ing a bag containing six hand gre
nades.
The indictment said the club was
chosen because it would be crowded.
About 100 people were attending a
wedding party that Friday night,
and the prosecutor has said the ex
plosion of just one grenade could
have killed or wounded half of
them.
The indictment said Capt. Abdul
lah Mansur of Libyan intelligence
visited Istanbul for about 15 days
with one of the arrested Libyans “to
determine locations of U.S. installa
tions” and “targets.”
Ali Ecefli Ramadan and Recep
Muhtar Rohoma Tarhuni, the two
captured by police, are being held
for trial but the other three de
fendants left Turkey soon after the
arrests. The indictment said Rama
dan was the man who accompanied
Mansur in January.
