A three-judge federal appeals court panel au thorized independent counsel Whitney North Seymour Jr. to investigate and prosecute Deaver for “any willfully false . . . testimony” he might have given on his lobbying activities last May to a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee. The judges authorized Seymour to prosecute any person who obstructed justice or lied since the probe of Deaver began 6V2 months ago. They said obstruction could have occurred during a preliminary Justice Department investigation last spring that led to Seymour’s appointment. Broadening the scope of the investigation will reinforce Seymour’s authority to pursue all possi ble violations of law by Deaver and others, said Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the sub committee on oversight and investigation. The judges also authorized prosecution for anyone who aided Deaver in violating federal criminal laws. Randall J. Turk, an attorney for Deaver, said the lobbyist has cooperated with the investiga tion. Turk predicted that Deaver would be exon erated and said that broadening the scope of the investigation is a routine matter that in no way suggests the independent counsel necessarily sus pects obstruction or lying is occurring. But Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a senior mem ber of Dingell’s subcommittee, said, “A prosecu tor wouldn’t request such a clarification unless he intended to pursue these areas very up Seymour has l>een examiningwheW violated federal conflict-of-interest la.

Two [talized (Two o Documents: North behind scenes at fund-raising dinner for Contras WASHINGTON (AP) — Fired White House aide Oliver L. North participated behind the scenes in an April 1985 dinner to aid Nicaraguan refugees that netted only $1,000 to help refugees but paid more than $100,000 to “consultants,” according to documents and sources. Documents on the April 15 din ner, obtained by The Associated Press, show one of its chief organiz ers reporting to North on plans for raising money, including a sugges tion that the sultan of Brunei “might kick in a million dollars.” Although it is not clear what came of the Brunei suggestion, U.S offi cials said last week that the State De partment persuaded the sultan of the oil-rich Asian kingdom to donate millions of dollars to Nicaraguan Contra rebels this year. The Los Angeles Times said the money went through a Swiss bank account controlled by North. The newly obtained documents show that North participated in pro- Contra fund-raising at least as early as 1984. Last year, the AP reported that North developed a plan in early 1984 to enlist third countries and private individuals to aid the Con tras in the face of congressional op position. White House sources said President Reagan gave oral approval for that plan. Two sources have told the AP that the Nicaraguan Refugee Fund was started in mid-1984 through a secret agreement between the Miner and Fraser Public Affairs Inc. and the Contras’ Washington-based cor porate arm, the Nicaraguan Devel opment Council. Letters from Edie Fraser, Miner and Fraser president, to North, sug gest that he participated in detailed decisions about the fund. One letter, dated Dec. 27, 1984, and signed by Fraser, said, “1 look forward to getting with you on Jan. 3 or 4 regarding the Nicaraguan Refu gee Fund and the proposed plan.” A Dec. 28, 1984, “personal and confidential” memo from Fraser to North notes that the sultan of Bru nei had given $500,000 to a drug program favored by first lady Nancy Reagan and states: “Naturally, it has been recommended that he might kick in a million dollars of that for the ref ugees for Central America." Sources said North played a Ix*- hind-the-scenes role in arranging the April 15 dinner. North was fired from President Reagan’s National Security Council staff on Nov. 25 after Attorney Gen eral Edwin Meese III said North knew about profits being diverted from secret Iranian arms sales to the Contras this year. Before his firing, the White House consistently denied that North raised money for the Contras. North has refused to testify l>e- fore Congress, citing his Fifth Amendment rights against self-in crimination. Fraser failed to return telephone calls to her of fice. I he Nicaraguan Refugee Fund sponsored the April 15, 1985 din ner, featuring a speech by Reagan, that took in >219,525 for refugees. However, an internal audit by the fund showed costs totaling $218,376, including $116,938 in consulting fees and $7 1,163 to feed the nearly 700 people at the dinner. Little more than $1,000 went to transport aid to Nicaraguan refu gees. Spy gets life term for selling defense data BALTIMORE (AP) — Ronald W. Pelton, a former employee of the National Security Agency, was sen tenced Tuesday to life in prison for selling defense secrets to the Soviet Union. The sentence was meted out by U.S. District Court Judge Herbert F. Murray, who told Pelton that “this court considers espionage one of the most serious offenses in the U.S. criminal code.” Pelton, 45, was convicted of four counts of espionage in June for sell ing information about signals intelli gence to the Soviets between 1980 and 1985 for $35,000, plus ex penses. Murray sentenced Pelton to three life terms plus 10 years. He could be eligible for parole in 10 years. “You occupy a special position of trust critical to the security of our country,” thejudge said, adding that Pelton’s actions damaged U.S. intel ligence programs. Pelton said that he could not con done his actions, but he asked the court for a lesser sentence than the life term recommended by the gov ernment. Pelton’s attorney had asked for a 30-year term. treatin' Voyager unharmej ^ by iyphoo MOJAVE, Calif.
