Arms Deal
(Continued from page 1)
described by a spokesman as, “tight-
lipped, no words.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy, vice chairman
of the Senate Intelligence Commit
tee, who was not included in the
White House briefing, told reporters
he felt administration officials were
“groping for a retroactive justifica
tion” for the reported dealings with
Iran.
The White House, which has
never confirmed any such dealings,
said Reagan was joined by Vice Pres
ident George Bush, Secretary of
State George P. Shultz, Secretary of
Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, At
torney General Edwin Meese, CIA
Director William Casey, White
House chief of staff Donald Regan
and Adm. John Poindexter, Rea
gan’s national security adviser.
In New York, Said Rajaie-Khoras-
sani, Iranian ambassador to the
United Nations, strongly denied an
arms-for-hostages deal with the
United States.
He did, however, confirm that his
government was receiving U.S.-
made military hardware.
“We did not have any arms deal or
any other kind of deal with regard to
the release of the hostages — with
the United States or anyone else,” he
told a news conference. And he in
sisted that the “two issues are absolu
tely separate.”
“It is not our affair to set any con
ditions for the release of the hos
tages in Lebanon,” Rajaie-Khoras-
sani said. But he conceded his
Islamic fundamentalist government
wields influence among Moslem
groups in that Arab country.
White House spokesmen declined
to comment on the ambassador’s
statements.
Congressional leaders attending
the White House briefing were Sen
ate Republican leader Bob Dole of
Kansas, Senate Democratic leader
Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia,
House Democratic leader Jim
Wright of Texas and Rep. Dick Che
ney of Wyoming, chairman of the
House Republican Policy Commit
tee.
Meanwhile, former national secu
rity adviser Robert C. McFarlane, re
portedly the key architect of a policy
to seek U.S. contacts with Iran, reis
sued a statement he had made in At
lanta earlier in the week, in which he
talked of America’s “vital security in
terest in the independence of Iran.”
“The corollary to this conclusion,”
McFarlane said in the statement, “is
that as a long-term proposition, we
ought to try to engender a stable
relationship with the Iranian gov
ernment.”
However, McFarlane said, the
United States will not make conces
sions to terrorists, “nor in any way
contribute to the continuation of ter
rorism.”
According to reports, McFarlane
initiated, while still in the White
House, secret contacts with Iran, de
spite its presence on the State De
partment’s list of countries that sup
port terrorism. The reports said he
traveled to T ehran on several occa
sions while arrangements were made
for the delivery of U.S. and Israeli
military equipment to Iran, which is
at war with Iraq.
Administration
seeks to protect
unclassified data
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Defense Department is studying
ways to limit access to unclassified
computerized government and
commercial data banks in an ef
fort to make it difficult for the So
viet bloc to gather such informa
tion.
The data banks contain items
anging from news stories to
scientific re-
higlily technical
search papers.
One Pentagon official, dis
cussing the project on condition
he not he identified, said the
study is focusing initiallv on two
government-run services, the De
fense Technical Information
Center and the National Techni
cal Information Service.

“We don’t believe they have a
right to put a muzzle onus, and
we don’t believe these are the
right folks to make such deci
sions,” he said.
“They are apparently suggest
ing monitors and controls on
electronic distribution systems in
the private sector to control infor
mal ion going to the Soviets.”
But executives with private
electronic data banks say thev
have been approached in recent
months by officials from the Pen
tagon, Central Intelligence
Agency and Federal Bureau of
Investigation, asking how con
trols might be placed on subscrib
ers to their systems.
“They were all asking questions
about whether we can deny ac
cess,” said Jack W. Simpson, pres
ident of Mead Data Central Inc.,

to data banks has simmered

TV drama revives questions
over Kennedy assassination
7
LONDON (AP) — Twenty-three years after Presi
dent John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Lee Harvey Os
wald has been put on trial for murder in a British tele
vision drama.
The defense says Oswald was framed in what has be
come a “national lie.” The prosecution argues no evi
dence exists to contradict the Warren Commission find
ing that Oswald was the lone assassin. The real Oswald
was killed by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby two
days after Kennedy’s assassination.
The TV verdict is in, but it is being kept secret until
the program is shown over the weekend of Nov. 21-23
in five countries: Britain, the United States, Australia,
New Zealand and Denmark.
“The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald,” a 5'/2-hour docu-
drama, is being shown in the United States in two parts
Nov. 21-22 by the cable TV network Showtime.
The show attempts to put to an impartial jury some
of the contradictory evidence surrounding Kennedy’s
assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
If Oswald fired three bullets at the president from
the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository,
why was he found 90 seconds after the shooting in the
building’s canteen four floors below? Why did sonffwLol
spectators insist shots were fired from a grassy MMlir
ahead of Kennedy’s motorcade? How did therein®
ol Kennedy’s brain vanish bef ore an autopsy wasdont-
The television drama is set in a replica of a fede®
courtroom in Dallas. The 12 jurors and two alternin
were chosen from among Dallas residents on a cos
puter list of Dallas’ electoral rolls.
Oswald’s defense lawyer is Gerry Spence, who gate
fame in winning a big initial jury award from the Ke®
McGee Corp. in the 1979 Karen Silk wood case.
Opposing Spence is Vincent T. Bugliosi, who |
ecuted mass-killer Charles Manson.
Presiding over the mock trial is U.S. Districtp!
Lucius Desha Bunton III of Dallas.
No actors were used, so no one portrayed Oswal 1
H owever, Spence at one point displays a poster-stef
photograph of Oswald. T he case is based on the
sumption Oswald would have pleaded innocent toil 1
murder charge lodged against him the day after his
rest. The outcome was left to the jurors, and theyspf 1

Passenger trains collide in Soviet Ukraine
MOSCOW (AP) — Two passen
ger trains collided in the dark after
the engineer of one train decided to
take a nap, and his drowsy assistant
missed a red stop light, reports said

The collision occurred at 3:02

any numbers.
Hundreds of doctors and nurses
