WASHINGTON (AP) — State
Department officials, citing White
House concern, bypassed normal
procedures in 1985 to bail out a fi
nancially strapped company that was
aiding the Nicaraguan Contras, a de
partment memo shows.
The company. International Busi
ness Communications Inc., had non
competitive State Department con
tracts to publicize the Contra cause
in the United States.
Contra rebels, according to Rep.
Dante B. Fascell, D-Fla., chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee.
The State Department memo re
veals the Reagan administration’s in
terest in IBC at a crucial time for the
Contras.

This interest flowed from two
parallel developments between Jan
uary and April 1985. First, U.S. gov
ernment aid to the Contras had run
out and “elements of the NSC staff
focused their efforts on strategies
for repackaging the Contra program
to increase support on Capitol Hill,”
the Tower Commission said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su
preme Court on Monday tied the
hands of state officials seeking to
ban sexually explicit material and
nudity from cable television.
By a 7-2 vote, the court struck
down a Utah law that prohibited
“indecent” programs on cable
broadcasts except during the hours
of midnight to 7 a.m.
Utah officials, conceding their
drive against sexually explicit
material has been thwarted, said
their only hope may be a change
some day in the composition of the
high court.
The court issued a one-sentence
decision upholding a federal appeals
court ruling.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnqu-
ist and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
voted to hear arguments in the case,
but four votes are needed to grant
such review.
Utah Attorney General David
Wilkinson said, “I would think most
legislatures are going to want to wait
and see what changes take place on
the court in the next two or three
years before they do anything fur
ther.”
Bryan McDougal, a lawyer for the
cable companies that challenged the
law, said, “I think it (Monday 1 !!

thwart a “diabolical plot” to over

Monday as he and his wife appeared
on television for the first time since

had been blackmailed over a sexual

accusations.
“They made a mistake. They con

Bakker said, and “the plan was re

that his wife was being treated foi

was at the Betty Ford Center.

During a segment of the PTL pro

Tammy, Bakker said that unveiling
the sexual encounter and blowing it
out of proportion was to have been
the first step of the takeover plot.
“In talking with the attorneys, in
talking with our advisers, they ad

Bakker, who also has submitted
his resignation as a Pentecostal min
ister, said PTL attorneys have ob
tained documents detailing the al
leged takeover plot by a “well-known
individual.”
The unidentified man “literally
called and warned people of the very
hour they planned the destruction
and (told them) not to come to PTL
and be there when it was to fall,” said
Bakker, who spent 13 years in mak

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Evangelist
Oral Roberts’ ministry received $1.3
million Monday from a Florida mil
lionaire, but ministry officials would
not say if it was enough to meet the
$8 million goal Roberts said God or
dered him to reach by March 31 or
die.
Orlando dog-racetrack owner
Jerry Collins said he intended the
check to meet Roberts’ goal. Ministry
officials said last week the year-long
drive to fund medical missionary
scholarships for Oral Roberts Uni
versity students was about $ 1 million
short.
“It’s a damn disgrace to let a few
thousand, a million dollars stand in
the way,” Collins told an audience of
about 300 people at ORU Monday.
Oral Roberts had gone to the
tower in the center of the ORU cam
pus on Sunday, fulfilling a pledge to
begin praying and fasting for the fi
nal donations he said he needed.
Collins signed the personal check
to Roberts on Saturday at his office
at the Sanford-Orlando Kennel
Club, his spokesman Phil Denis said.
