The fit must be precise. You must be completely comfortable. Yet every year people spend fortunes on contacts, put them away in a drawer and never wear them. Because they’re uncomfortable. They don’t fit right. These people have never been to Texas State Optical. WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Reagan is secretly implement ing a sweeping overhaul of the na tion’s defenses against foreign spies that calls for more than 100 security changes from the doors of defense plants to communications satellites in space, White House and congres sional officials say. The 4.2 million Americans with access to secret data will face tougher and more frequent background in vestigations. New restrictions may be placed on the ability of Soviet bloc diplomats to buy computers and telecommunications equipment on the open market in this country. The changes are the product of studies begun by Reagan’s National Security Council staff in 1981. But the “Year of the Spy” — a re cord 13 spy arrests in 1985 begin ning with the Walker family spy ring in the Navy — spurred Reagan and the Congress into acting on those studies now, according to a White House official, who spoke on condi tion of anonymity. Most of the changes are described in a 50-page, secret report sent ear- and lier this month to the House Senate intelligence committees. The White House official said the report outlines 40 new proposals. Some have been implemented; oth ers soon will be; a few require legis lation. A spokesman from the Senate In telligence Committee was authorized to say of the counterintelligence pro posals: “The president’s plan is an un precedented blueprint for broad- based reform of U.S. efforts to coun ter the Soviet bloc intelligence threat. It is a classic example of how the National Security Council proc ess ought to work in the national in terest.” The White House official said the principal changes outlined in the re port were: • Reagan’s promise to deliver an executive order next year to estab lish the first government-wide mini mum standards for background in vestigations of federal and contractor employees. John Walker spied for 18 years in the Navy and Chinese spy Larry Wu- Aquino: Marcos not the last to pay for doubting me Y>u can’t afford contact lenses that don’t fit right. At any price. MANILA, Philippines (AP) — President Corazon Aquino said Sun day the men who doubt her ability to govern are just big talkers, and she called her predecessor, Ferdinand E. Marcos, “not the last to pay” for un derestimating her. In other developments: • The Communist Party said that despite a cease-fire agreement with the government, “revolutionary armed struggle” remains its main goal, and the armed forces chief called on his troops to remain vigi lant during the truce. • Police stopped about 3,000 left ists en route to the presidential pal ace to demand justice in the slaying of their leader, Rolando Olalia. • 10,000 Aquino supporters ral lied to urge adoption of a proposed constitution. Aquino told the women’s club of the Asian Development Bank, “It has often been said that Marcos was the first male chauvinist to underes timate me. He was not the last to pay for that mistake.” She called others who have chal lenged her in recent weeks “a crop of garrulous men with better and brighter ideas on how to run my government. ... I would like to think that I have managed to have the last word and the last task of hav ing to put things back in order after these men were finished.” A week ago, Aquino demanded resignations from all Cabinet min isters after word that a planned coup by officers close to Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile had been foiled. She immediately replaced Enrile and has accepted other resignations since then. The meeting was closed to news media, but the text of her speech was made available to reporters. In downtown Manila, about 3,000 people belonging to the militant left ist May 1st Movement tried to march to Malacanang Palace, but were stopped by dozens of riot police. The demonstrators demanded “swift justice” for the slaying of their leader, Olalia, two weeks ago. No ar rests have been made. A man de scribed as a drunk by police threw a stone at secutity troops, who drew guns. A brief stampede ensued. Later, a 10-member delegation carrying a letter with demands was allowed into the palace. An army major accepted the letter. Police said about 500 members of the group rallied at the U.S. Subic Naval Base 50 miles northwest of Manila. The demonstrators de manded the removal of all U.S. mili tary bases in the Philippines. Police said the protest was peaceful. At Manila’s Rizal Park, about 10,000 Aquino supporters urged voters to approve the new constitu tion in a Feb. 2 plebiscite. T he con stitution would extend the presi dent’s term until 1992. MICHAEL NESMITH IN DR. DUCK’S SUPER SECRET ALL PURPOSE SAUCE HOW CAN SOMETHING SO DELICIOUS GET MY DISHES SO CLEAN?
