The doctors of optometry affiliated
with Texas State Optical know that every
contact lens prescription must be exact.
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.
