Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., the chairman of the House commit tee, said that Poindexter, by with holding information from President Reagan, “denied him the opportu nity to make the fateful decision of his presidency.” Hamilton said the testimony showed “excessive secrecy that had serious consequences for the proc esses of government.” The chairman of the Senate com- miiiw , D.miH K. Inouve, D-Hawaii, said Poindexter had given the in quiry “selected recollections.” Inouye said that instead of brag ging to the president about what both Poindexter and aide Oliver North called the “neat idea” of using Iranian arms profits to help the Ni caraguan Contras, “you made a deci sion, you and you alone, to set up a very elaborate scheme of keeping this secret.” “You decided not to tell the presi dent because it would result in a po litical explosion,” the senator said, ticking off a list of others whom Poindexter said he didn’t tell: the di rector of the Central Intelligence Agency, members of the Cabinet, the secretaries of state and defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — the nation’s highest mili tary officer. that type of testimony, us are justified in asking “With some of ourselves, and in this case I will ask yon this . . . can you tell us whethei information is being withheldfJ ns today or during the past wet* Inouye asked.

IBP spokesman Gary Mickelson said the company “will contest the citation and proposed fines.” He added: “We believe IB P’s safety record is equal to or better than the rest of the meatpacking industry.” The company has 15 working days to take its case to the independent occupational safety and health review commission. OSHA, a Labor Department agency, proposed the fine following an investigation of IB P’s Dakota City, Neb., beef slaughtering and processing plant.

The administration condemned the bill in a statement, saying it was a bill that would disrupt world mar kets and boomerang against Ameri can business. The bill’s floor manager, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, declared that the administration was “playing a dangerous game” by mixing veto threats with partisan oratory.
