WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan answered questions
trom an investigatory board about
die Iran arms-sale allair Wednesday
as the White House defended Rea
gan’s refusal to order two key Fig
ures in the case to testily.
For tiie second time in 17 days,
Reagan met in (he Oval Office witli
members of the review hoard
headed by former Sen. John Tower;
R-Texas. He appointed the panel
Nov. 2(> to investigate the activities
of (he National Security Council
stall, including the secret sale of
arms to Iran and diversion of profits
to Contra rebels in Nicaragua.
At (he request of the hoard, Rea
gan granted a one-week extension,
until Feb. 2(i, for the panel to submit
its final report. T he report originally
was due Jan. 29, hut the hoard was
granted a delay until Feb. 19.
Reporting on Reagan’s 70-minute
session with the board, presidential
spokesman Marlin fit/.water said:
“Today’s meeting reviewed (he Na
tional Security Council process and
the development and execution of
the Iran policy and the president’s
role. T he president answered all of
the hoard’s questions.”
Fit/.water said the hoard asked for
more time to submit its findings in
order “to comprehensively deal with
all the information it has obtained.”
Herbert Hetu, the hoard’s spokes
man, said more time was sought be
cause of “a recent acquisition of new
material.”
He would not elaborate, except to
say the request was not the result of
the meeting with Reagan, the
hoard’s review of Reagan’s notes or
the hospitalization of former na
tional security adviser Robert Mc-
Farlane, who took an overdose ol
the tranquilizer Valium on Monday.
The meeting came one day after
the While House revealed that Rea
gan had turned down a request from
Tower that he order former aides
John Poindexter and Oliver North
to appear before the hoard and an
swer questions.
Tower had asked Reagan to issue
the order in his role as commander-
in-chief of the armed forces. Poin
dexter, who quit as Reagan’s national
security adviser because of the Iran-
Contra affair, is a Navy vice admiral
on active duty; North, who was fired
in (he affair, is a lieutenant colonel
in the Marines.
fit/.water said that ordering the
men to testify would violate their
constitutional rights against self-in
crimination, and a similar guarantee
provided by the Uniform Code ol
Military Justice, which rovers serv
icemen.
North and Poindexter Iwith have
invoked the fifth Amendment and
refused to answer questions Irom
congressional committees.
In other developments Wednes
day:
The speaker ol Iran’s parlia
ment, Hashemi Rafsanjani, said the
United States had made a new at
tempt "a few days ago" to contact
Iranian leaders and even provided a
direct telephone mutiher lot Rea
gan, according to I ehran radio.
The report did not idenlily the in-
tei mediary who contacted Inm
officials and gave no indbtin
11 an’s rcponse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Robert
C. McFarlane, the former presi
dential aide who is recovering from
a drug overdose, has been picked on
Unfairly because he’s the only key
figure cooperating in the investiga
tions of the sale of U.S. weapons to
Iran, his lawyer said Wednesday.
“lie’s the only game in town for
(he press to write about and some
inembers of Congress to complain
(about,” attorney Leonard Garment
said, noting that his client — unlike
pther important players — volun
teered to testify on Capitol I (ill and
(elsewhere.
President Reagan, meantime, is
“very concerned and upset for hud,”
While House spokesman Marlin
fit/.water said, using the nickname
of the former national security ad
viser who, police sources said, tried
to commit suic ide Monday.
Reagan telephoned McFarlane’s
wife, Jonda, on Tuesday, hut has not
spoken to McFarlane, While* House
officials said.
McFarlane, 49, remained hospi
talized at belhesda Naval Hospital in
suburban Maryland on Wednesday,
two days after he swallowed between
25 and .TO tablets ol the iranquili/ci
Valium.
McFarlane was listed in good con
dition, said Lt. Russ Sanford, a hos
pital spokesman. Sanford re!used to
say what type of treatment doctors
were giving McFarlane.
“He’s feeling OK,” Garment said,
who did not know how long the re
tired Marine lieutenant colonel
would remain in the hospital. “I just
hope he gets well as soon as possi
ble.”
Garment said he* was angry Ih*-
cause McFarlane’s testimony before
several congressional panels investi
gating the sale of U.S. arms to Iran
and the possible diversion ol profits
to Nicaraguan Contra rebels has
been scrulini/ed intensely lot holes
and disc repancies.
“F.veryone is pic king on what he
said,” Garment said in an interview.
“1 think it’s unfair liecause the dis
crepancies are not really disc repan
cies," hut simply one* side* ol the* story
because most of the central partici

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — “Platoon,” a
searing Vietnam drama that no studio would
touch, and “A Room with a View,” a period ro
mance regarded as a longshot, scored eight nom
inations apiece Wednesday to lead the 59th an
nual Oscar race.
Woody Allen’s “Hannah and Her Sisters” and
two surprises, the outer-space sequel “Aliens”
and “T he Mission,” a church-vs.-state story of co
lonial Brazil, were runners-up with seven apiece.
T he Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci
ences’ 4,()()0-plus voters made these nominations
for best picture of 198(>: “Children of a Lesser
Cod,” “Hannah and Her Sisters,” “T he Mission,”
“Platoon” and “A Room with a View,” a gentle
story of Britons at leisure in Florence, Italy and
the English countryside.
Besides best picture, “Platoon” garnered nom
inations for director, editing, sound, cinemato
graphy and screenplay, and two nominations lot
best supporting actor.
It represented sweet vindication lor writer-di
rector Oliver Stone, who spent 10 I rustrating
years trying to Find hacking for the Film ot his
memories as an infantryman in Vietnam.
Stone also was nominated for the .screenplay
for “Salvador,” a Film about a journalist in war-
torn El Salvador, co-written with Richard Boyle,
which hasn’t seen wide distribution yet.
“It would he very hard to have another year as
good as this one has been,” Stone said Wednes
day in New York. “1 am thrilled by both honors,
especially that ‘Salvador’ has been retrieved from
obscurity.”
T he nominations also featured Paul Newman,
who has qualiFied six times before with nary a
win; longtime jazz great Dexter Cordon in his
acting debut; and hearing-impaired Marlee Mat-
lin in a nearly mute performance.
Newman was nominated for best actor for his
repeat as East Eddie Felson in “T he C’.oloi ol
Money,” a sequel to “The Hustler” of 25 years
ago. Also named were last year’s winner, William
Hurt, as Matlin’s teacher in “Children of a Eessei
Cod,” Cordon for “Round Midnight,” James
Woods for “Salvador” and Boh Hoskins lor
“Mona Lisa.”
Hoskins said by telephone from London,
where he is making a Film: “I didn’t really expect
anything like that, hut I was very, very hopelul "
